Fiserv Reports First Quarter 2009 Results

Adjusted earnings increase 10 percent to $0.88 per share;

Free cash flow increases 9 percent to $189 million

Brookfield, Wis., April 30, 2009 – Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), the leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2009. These financial results reflect the disposition of a 51% interest in Fiserv’s insurance operations (“Fiserv Insurance”) in July of 2008.

Total GAAP revenue was $1.04 billion for the first quarter of 2009 compared with $1.31 billion in 2008. Total adjusted revenue decreased 3 percent to $989 million for the first quarter of 2009 compared with $1.02 billion in 2008 due primarily to declines in the home equity processing business.

GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2009 were $0.65 compared with $0.60 for the first quarter of 2008. GAAP earnings per share for the quarter including discontinued operations were $0.66 compared with $1.99 for the first quarter of 2008, which included $1.39 from discontinued operations due primarily to gains on disposition.

Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations were up 10 percent to $0.88 for the quarter compared with $0.80 in 2008. Adjusted internal revenue declined by 4 percent in the first quarter.

Adjusted operating margin increased 210 basis points compared with the first quarter of 2008 to 27.9 percent. The increase in operating margin was primarily from growth in higher-margin revenue, favorable changes in the company’s business mix and operating efficiency.

“Our results showcase the strength of our business model as we continue to deliver highly valued products and services across the financial services market,” said Jeffery Yabuki, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fiserv. “In spite of the expected revenue weakness in the quarter, we managed the business to optimize margins and grew adjusted earnings per share ten percent. In addition, we took proactive steps to increase our investments in several key areas that should enhance market differentiation and boost growth. We are pleased with our start to the year.”

First Quarter Highlights

•

Free cash flow for the quarter increased 9 percent to $189 million compared with 2008;

•

Adjusted operating income in the payments segment increased 11 percent to $155 million, and adjusted operating margin increased 280 basis points to 31.9 percent. The margin expansion resulted from growth in higher-margin revenue and continued cost synergy savings associated with the CheckFree acquisition;

Operating margin in the financial segment increased 180 basis points in the quarter to 27.0 percent through ongoing cost efficiencies and strength in the account processing business;

•

•

The company launched a new brand identity and an enhanced market approach in the quarter, renewing its commitment to lead the transformation of financial services technology;

•

•

Ameren Corporation, a Midwestern, investor-owned utility, selected Fiserv Output Solutions to print and mail customer utility bills and communications under a five-year outsourcing agreement.

•

Outlook for 2009

Fiserv continues to expect full-year 2009 adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations to be within a range of $3.61 to $3.75, which represents growth of 10 to 14 percent compared with $3.29 in 2008. The company expects 2009 adjusted internal revenue growth to be in a range of 0 to 4 percent. The adjusted earnings per share outlook excludes the impact of extraordinary gains or charges, merger and integration costs and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.

“We are on track to achieve our full-year targets in a watershed year for the financial services industry ,” said Yabuki.

Earnings Conference Call

The company will discuss its first quarter 2009 results on a conference call and Webcast at 4 p.m. CDT on April 30. To register for the event go to www.fiserv.com and click on the Q1 Earnings Webcast icon. Supplemental materials and an accompanying presentation will be available in the “For Investors” section of the website.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We supplement our reporting of total revenues, operating income, income from continuing operations 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,” “adjusted operating margin,” “free cash flow,” and “adjusted internal revenue growth” in this earnings release. Management believes that adjustments for certain non-cash or unusual revenue or expense items, and the exclusion of certain pass-through revenues and expenses, enhance our shareholders’ ability to evaluate our performance because such items do not reflect how we manage our operations. Therefore, we exclude these items from GAAP revenue, operating income, income from continuing operations and earnings per share to calculate these non-GAAP


Press Release

measures. We also exclude the financial results of Fiserv Insurance from “adjusted revenues,” “adjusted operating income” and “adjusted operating margin” because we sold a majority interest in our Insurance segment in 2008 and, accordingly, believe that these results reflect the performance of our remaining primary operations.

Examples of 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, severance costs and merger and integration expenses. We exclude these items to more clearly focus on the factors we believe are pertinent to the management of our operations. We regularly report our adjusted results to our chief executive officer, who uses this information to allocate resources to our various businesses.

Free cash flow and adjusted internal revenue growth are described in detail on pages 9 and 11. Adjusted internal revenue growth percentage is a non-GAAP financial measure that the company believes is useful to investors because it presents internal revenue growth excluding postage reimbursements in the company’s output solutions business and the deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustment. We believe this supplemental information enhances our shareholders’ ability to evaluate and understand 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 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.

Selected Key Metrics


Adjusted Internal Revenue Growth ⁽¹⁾	Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
Financial Segment ⁽²⁾	(8	)%
Payments Segment	1	%

Total Company	(4	)%

⁽¹⁾

Adjusted internal revenue growth percentages are measured as the increase in adjusted revenues (see page 7) for the current period less “acquired revenue from acquisitions” divided by adjusted revenues from the prior year period plus “acquired revenue from acquisitions.” “Acquired revenue from acquisitions” was $7 million ($6 million in the financial segment and $1 million in the payments segment) for the first quarter of 2009 and represents pre-acquisition adjusted revenue of acquired companies, less dispositions, for the comparable prior year period.

⁽²⁾

Home equity loan processing revenues decreased by $19 million in the first quarter of 2009 to $23 million, due primarily to the significant downturn in the U.S. mortgage market. This negatively impacted internal revenue growth in the financial segment by 3 percent. In addition, contract termination fee revenue in the financial segment declined by $14 million in the first quarter of 2009 to $1 million, also adversely impacting segment revenue growth by 3 percent. The negative impact of foreign currency on the financial segment was approximately 1 percent.


			2009 Attainment

⁽¹⁾	Integrated Sales targets are exclusive of amounts included in the annual sales quota and include sales from a designated list of additional products sold to account processing clients. Dollar value is the amount of recurring annual revenue.

⁽²⁾

Operational Effectiveness targets represent cost savings associated with Fiserv 2.0 and the synergy savings associated with combining CheckFree with Fiserv. The “2009 Objective” is the total amount of savings targeted to be attained in the measurement period which is incremental to the amount attained in 2008.

⁽³⁾	Bill Payment Transactions represent online bill payment transactions occurring through financial institutions, brokerage firms or portals.
