NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Fiserv, Inc. (the “Company”). These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fiserv, Inc. and all 100% owned subsidiaries. Investments in less than 50% owned affiliates in which the Company has significant influence are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Fair Value Measurements

Assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value are classified in the following categories:

Level 1 – At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair values of available-for-sale investments in asset-backed securities of $10 million and $11 million, respectively, were based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments as of the reporting date.

Level 2 – At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair values of available-for-sale investments in asset-backed securities of $5 million and $6 million, respectively, and liabilities for interest rate hedge contracts of $93 million and $92 million, respectively, were determined from market based valuation models for which pricing inputs were either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

Level 3 – At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair values of available-for-sale investments of $23 million were based on valuation models with unobservable pricing inputs and management estimates. Unrealized losses of $2 million were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

The fair value of the Company’s total debt was estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates or quoted prices in active markets and totaled $3.6 billion and $3.8 billion at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

3. Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognized $10 million and $11 million of share-based compensation during the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company’s annual grant of share-based awards generally occurs in the first quarter. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company granted 1.1 million stock options and 0.4 million restricted stock units at weighted-average estimated fair values of $17.48 and $47.73, respectively. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company granted 1.4 million stock options and 0.5 million restricted stock units at weighted-average estimated fair values of $12.40 and $32.78, respectively. During the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, stock options to purchase 0.8 million shares and 0.2 million shares, respectively, were exercised.

4. Shares Used in Computing Net Income Per Share

Basic weighted-average outstanding shares used in calculating net income per share were 152.5 million and 155.5 million for the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Diluted weighted-average outstanding shares used in calculating net income per share were 153.7 million and 156.0 million for the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively, and included 1.2 million and 0.5 million common stock equivalents, respectively. For the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, stock options for 2.5 million shares and 6.4 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average outstanding shares because their impact was anti-dilutive.

5. Interest Rate Hedge Contracts

To manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, the Company maintains a series of interest rate swap agreements (“Swaps”) with total notional values of $1.2 billion at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Swaps have been designated by the Company as cash flow hedges, effectively fix interest rates on floating rate term loan borrowings at a weighted-average rate of approximately 4.8% prior to financing spreads and related fees, and have expiration dates through September 2012. The fair values of the Swaps, as discussed in Note 2, were recorded in other long-term liabilities and in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The components of other comprehensive income (loss) pertaining to interest rate hedge contracts are presented in Note 6. In the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, interest expense recognized due to hedge ineffectiveness was not significant, and no amounts were excluded from the assessments of hedge effectiveness. Based on the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2010, the Company estimates that it will recognize approximately $40 million in interest expense related to interest rate hedge contracts during the next twelve months.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include those that express a plan, belief, expectation, estimation, anticipation, intent, contingency, future development or similar expression, and can generally be identified as forward-looking because they include words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “could,” “should” or words of similar meaning. Statements that describe our objectives or goals are also forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this report involve significant risks and uncertainties, and a number of factors, both foreseen and unforeseen, that could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations. The factors that may affect our results include, among others: the impact on our business of the current state of the economy, including the risk of reduction in revenue resulting from decreased spending on the products and services we offer or from the elimination of existing or potential clients due to consolidation or financial failures in the financial services industry; changes in client demand for our products or services; pricing or other actions by competitors; the impact of our Fiserv 2.0 initiatives; our ability to comply with government regulations, including privacy regulations; and other factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and in other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We urge you to consider these factors carefully in evaluating forward-looking statements and caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report.

Overview

We provide integrated information management and electronic commerce systems and services, including transaction processing, electronic bill payment and presentment, business process outsourcing, document distribution services, and software and systems solutions. Our operations are primarily in the United States and are comprised of our Payments and Industry Products (“Payments”) segment, Financial Institution Services (“Financial”) segment, and Corporate and Other segment. The Payments segment primarily provides electronic bill payment and settlement, electronic funds transfer, and debit processing products and services to meet the electronic transaction processing needs of the financial services industry. Our businesses in this segment also provide card and print personalization services, Internet banking, investment account processing services for separately managed accounts, and fraud and risk management products and services. The Financial segment provides banks, thrifts and credit unions with account processing services, item processing services, loan origination and servicing products, cash management and consulting services, and other products and services that support numerous types of financial transactions. The Corporate and Other segment primarily consists of unallocated corporate overhead expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and intercompany eliminations.

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is provided as a supplement to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, the changes in our financial condition and our results of operations. Our discussion is organized as follows:

 

   

Results of operations. This section contains an analysis of our results of operations presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income by comparing the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 to the comparable period in 2009.

 

   

Liquidity and capital resources. This section provides an analysis of our cash flows and a discussion of our outstanding debt as of March 31, 2010.

Total revenue decreased $15 million, or 1%, in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009. Revenue in our Payments segment decreased $4 million, or 1%, and revenue in our Financial segment decreased $16 million, or 3%. The decrease in Payments segment revenue was primarily due to lower product revenue in our output solutions business, including pass-through postage revenue, partially offset by revenue increases driven by new clients and increased transaction volumes from existing clients in our electronic payments businesses. The decrease in Financial segment revenue was primarily due to volume declines in our check processing business and lower specialty consulting and software license revenue, partially offset by increased revenue in our bank and credit union account processing businesses.

Total Expenses

Total expenses decreased $28 million, or 4%, to $770 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009. Total expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 76.4% and 78.0% in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Cost of processing and services as a percentage of processing and services revenue in the first quarter of 2010 was 55.6%, which was relatively consistent compared to the first quarter of 2009. Cost of product as a percentage of product revenue increased from 74.0% in the first quarter of 2009 to 76.8% in 2010, due primarily to a decline in higher margin software license revenue which negatively impacted our operating margin. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $26 million, or 13%, in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009, due primarily to $15 million of employee severance expenses recognized in the first quarter of 2009 and a decline in merger and integration costs associated with our acquisition of CheckFree Corporation (“CheckFree”).

Total operating income increased $13 million, or 6%, in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009. Our operating margin was 23.7% and 22.0% in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Operating income in our Payments segment decreased $7 million, or 5%, and operating margin decreased 100 basis points to 27.5% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009. The decreases in operating income and operating margin resulted primarily from a decline in higher margin project revenue in our output solutions business and increased expenditures associated with the development of new products, partially offset by improved operating leverage in our electronic funds transfer businesses.

Operating income in our Financial segment decreased $6 million, or 4%, and operating margin decreased 50 basis points to 28.8% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009. Operating income and operating margin were negatively impacted by decreases in higher margin software license and specialty consulting revenue and volume declines in our check processing business. These negative factors were partially offset by revenue growth and scale efficiencies in our bank and credit union account processing businesses.

The operating loss in our Corporate and Other segment decreased $26 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009, due primarily to $15 million of employee severance expenses recognized in the first quarter of 2009 and lower merger and integration costs associated with our acquisition of CheckFree.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense decreased $9 million, or 17%, in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009 primarily due to decreases in total outstanding borrowings and interest rates.

Income Tax Provision

The income tax provision increased $7 million from $66 million in the first quarter of 2009 to $73 million in the first quarter of 2010. Our effective income tax rate was 37.9% and 38.3% in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Net Income Per Share – Diluted from Continuing Operations

Net income per share-diluted from continuing operations was $0.80 and $0.68 in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net income per share-diluted from continuing operations in 2009 was negatively impacted by approximately $0.09 per share due to employee severance expenses and merger costs. The amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets reduced net income per share-diluted from continuing operations by $0.15 per share and $0.14 per share in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our primary liquidity needs are: (i) to fund normal operating expenses; (ii) to meet the principal and interest requirements of our outstanding indebtedness; and (iii) to fund capital expenditures and operating lease payments. We believe these needs will be satisfied using cash flows generated by operations, our cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2010 of $416 million and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $870 million at March 31, 2010.

Our net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, or operating cash flow, was $260 million in the first quarter of 2010, an increase of 13% compared with $231 million in 2009. Our current policy is to use our operating cash flow primarily to repay debt and fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and share repurchases, rather than to pay dividends. Our capital expenditures decreased $3 million to $42 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009. Capital expenditures were 4% of our total revenue in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009.

Share Repurchases

In the first quarter of 2010, we purchased approximately 1.4 million shares of our common stock for $67 million and, as of March 31, 2010, we had approximately 5.8 million shares remaining under our existing authorizations. Shares repurchased are generally held for issuance in connection with our equity plans.

Long-term debt (including current maturities)

   $ 3,514    $ 3,641

In the first quarter of 2010, we used a portion of our operating cash flow to repay approximately $125 million of long-term debt, which reduced our outstanding debt, including current maturities, to approximately $3.5 billion at March 31, 2010. Our long-term debt currently consists primarily of $1.75 billion under our unsecured senior term loan facility and $1.75 billion of senior notes. The

Table of Contents

unsecured senior term loan bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a specified margin or the bank’s base rate and matures in November 2012. To manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, we maintain a series of interest rate swap agreements (“Swaps”) with total notional values of $1.2 billion. The Swaps effectively fix interest rates on floating rate term loan borrowings at a weighted-average rate of approximately 4.8%, prior to financing spreads and related fees, and have expiration dates through September 2012. The next scheduled principal payment of $130 million on our senior term loan is due in December 2010. The term loan facility contains various restrictions and covenants substantially similar to those contained in the revolving credit facility described below. In addition, we have $1.25 billion of 6.125% senior notes due in November 2012 and $500 million of 6.8% senior notes due in November 2017, which pay interest at the stated rate on May 20 and November 20 of each year.

We maintain a $900 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a specified margin or the bank’s base rate. The facility, as amended, contains various restrictions and covenants that require us, among other things, to limit our consolidated indebtedness to no more than three and one-half times consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments and to maintain consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments of at least three times consolidated interest expense. There are no significant commitment fees or compensating balance requirements. The facility expires on March 24, 2011. As of March 31, 2010, we had issued letters of credit totaling $30 million under this facility and our available borrowings were $870 million. During the first quarter of 2010, we were in compliance with all financial debt covenants in this and our other credit facilities, including those contained in our senior term loan and our senior notes.
