First Data Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2011 Financial Results

ATLANTA, Feb. 1, 2012 – First Data Corporation today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2011. Consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter was $2.69 billion, down $43 million or 2%, compared to a year ago on a $115 million decline in debit network fees. These fees are passed directly to customers and therefore did not impact operating income. Adjusted revenue, which excludes certain items including debit network fees, increased $47 million, or 3% year-over-year to $1.73 billion.

For the fourth quarter, the net loss attributable to First Data was $69 million, compared to a loss of $179 million a year ago. The change was largely driven by a $171 million improvement in operating income. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) was $655 million, up $91 million, or 16%, compared to $564 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, driven by revenue growth in Retail and Alliance Services and cost reductions across the business.

Consolidated revenue for the full year 2011 was $10.71 billion up 3% due to revenue growth in the global merchant acquiring business and higher pass-through debit network fees. Full-year adjusted revenue increased 2% to $6.59 billion. The full-year net loss attributable to First Data was $516 million, a year-over-year improvement of $506 million. For 2011, adjusted EBITDA was $2.25 billion, up $221 million, or 11%, compared to $2.03 billion in 2010.

First Data generated $1.12 billion in operating cash flow, after interest payments of $1.44 billion, for the full year and finished the quarter with $1.72 billion in unrestricted liquidity—$255 million in cash available for corporate use plus $1.47 billion under the revolving credit facility.

“Despite a challenging economic environment, we grew adjusted EBITDA 11% for the full year of 2011 through a combination of top-line growth and expense reductions,” said Chief Executive Officer Jonathan J. Judge. “Our commitment to bringing innovative products to market and serving our customers positions us well to take advantage of the dynamic changes in the payments industry.”

Segment Results

Retail and Alliance Services segment revenue for the fourth quarter was $926 million, up $53 million, or 6%, compared to $873 million in 2010. Core merchant revenue was up 9% driven by lower debit interchange rates and new processing revenue from the Bank of America Merchant Services alliance. Transaction growth was 3%, credit mix was stable at 72% and regional average ticket was $69, or flat compared to a year ago. Product revenue was also flat as growth in prepaid was offset by declining check-processing as consumers migrate from checks to electronic payments. Segment EBITDA was $416 million, up $43 million, or 12%, compared to 2010 driven primarily by revenue growth. Margin for the fourth quarter improved to 45%. During the quarter, Retail and Alliance Services added six new independent sales organizations, five bank referral agreements, and three new revenue sharing agreements.

Full-year Retail and Alliance Services segment revenue was $3.4 billion, up $67 million, or 2%, compared to $3.3 billion in 2010. Revenue was driven by 6% transaction growth, lower debit interchange rates and new processing revenue from the Bank of America Merchant Services alliance. Growth in prepaid and point of sale equipment was offset by declines in check processing. During the year, Retail and Alliance Services added 32 new independent sales organizations, 39 bank referral agreements and six new revenue sharing agreements. For 2011, segment EBITDA was $1.4 billion, up $85 million or 6%, compared to $1.3 billion in 2010. Margin improved to 42%.

Financial Services segment revenue for the fourth quarter was $354 million, down $4 million, or 1%, compared to $358 million in the same quarter of 2010, as new business and volume growth were offset by lost business, expected levels of price compression, and a prior-year contract termination fee. Active card accounts on file were up 4% compared to the prior year. Debit issuer transactions were up 6%. Segment EBITDA was $158 million, up $17 million, or 12%, compared to $141 million in 2010. Expenses declined by $22 million compared to a year ago driven primarily by lower technology and operations costs. Margin for the fourth quarter improved to 45%. During the quarter, Financial Services renewed more than 400 contracts with financial institutions.

Full-year Financial Services segment revenue was $1.4 billion, down $30 million, or 2%, compared to 2010. New business and volume growth were more than offset by lost business, price compression and lower contract termination fees. Segment EBITDA for 2011 was $593 million, up $40 million, or 7%, compared to $553 million in 2010, due primarily to lower technology and operations costs. Margin improved to 43%. During the year, Financial Services renewed more than 1,400 contracts with financial institutions.

International segment revenue for the fourth quarter was $441 million, up $1 million, or essentially flat, compared to $440 million in the prior year. On a constant currency basis, segment revenue was up 2%. Merchant acquiring revenue, on a constant currency basis, grew 3% on higher transaction volumes, partially offset by lower revenue resulting from changes that were made in the company’s product mix in order to improve margins. Issuing revenue, on a constant currency basis, grew 1% as pricing increases in Asia, volume growth in Latin America and a contract termination fee in Europe were offset by lost business and product mix shifts away from lower margin revenue. Segment EBITDA was $131 million, up $35 million, or 36%, compared to $96 million in 2010 due to cost reductions and the revenue items mentioned above. Margin improved to 30%. Foreign currency exchange rates had a negligible impact on EBITDA.

Full-year International segment revenue was $1.8 billion, up $140 million or 9%, compared to 2010. Segment revenue on a constant currency basis was up 4%. Segment EBITDA was $454 million, up $125 million, or 38%, compared to $330 million for 2010. Margin improved to 26%. Segment EBITDA benefitted from revenue flow through, cost reductions and favorable foreign currency exchange rates.

FINANCIAL COVENANT CALCULATION

(Unaudited)

As of December 31, 2011, the Company is in compliance with all applicable covenants, including its sole financial covenant with Consolidated Senior Secured Debt of $12,084.0 million, Consolidated EBITDA of $2,794.1 million and a Ratio of 4.32 to 1.00.

The calculation of Consolidated EBITDA under the senior secured term loan facility is as follows (in millions):

11

Consolidated EBITDA (or debt covenant EBITDA) is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items, non-recurring items that FDC does not expect to continue at the same level in the future and certain items management believes will impact future operating results and adjusted to include near-term cost savings projected to be achieved within twelve months on an annualized basis (see Note 8 above). Consolidated EBITDA is further adjusted to add net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of certain non-wholly-owned subsidiaries and exclude other miscellaneous adjustments that are used in calculating covenant compliance under the agreements governing FDC’s senior unsecured debt and/or senior secured credit facilities. The Company believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about items that will impact the calculation of EBITDA that is used to determine covenant compliance under the agreements governing FDC’s senior unsecured debt and/or senior secured credit facilities. Since not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of Consolidated EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

(Unaudited)

(in millions)

Management believes the following non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information to assist investors in understanding our financial results and to better analyze trends in our underlying business as well as evaluate our ability to service our debt. Management uses these measures to evaluate our operating performance and our segments. Management believes these non-GAAP measurements are useful in highlighting trends because they exclude the results of decisions that are outside the control of operating management and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. Additionally, we believe the inclusion of supplementary adjustments applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA, described below, are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about non-recurring items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Since management finds these measures useful, we believe that our investors will benefit from seeing the Company’s results through the eyes of management in addition to seeing our GAAP results.

Adjusted revenue represents the sum of Segment revenue (as defined in Note (c) to the Financial Schedules) and All Other and Corporate revenue as adjusted to exclude revenue related to the official check and money order businesses due to the wind down of these businesses and to reflect elimination of intersegment revenues. Adjusted EBITDA represents the sum of Segment EBITDA (as defined in Note (h) to the Financial Schedules) and All Other and Corporate EBITDA. Adjusted revenue and Adjusted EBITDA are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures on the Summary Segment Data schedules. Non-GAAP measures for the International segment adjust for the change in foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide insight into the Company’s core performance.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our business. Investors are strongly encouraged to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included below.
