SunGard Announces First Quarter 2012 Results

Wayne, PA – May 1, 2012 – SunGard, one of the world’s leading software and technology services companies, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012. For the first quarter, revenue was $1.04 billion, down 4% year over year. Excluding one of our capital markets businesses, a broker/dealer, revenue decreased 2%. Currency had no material impact on reported revenue in the quarter compared to the prior year. Operating income was $51 million in the quarter compared to operating income of $49 million in the first quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA was $242 million and adjusted operating income was $157 million. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income are defined in Notes 1 and 2 in the Notes attached to this release.

During the quarter, the Company generated $75 million in cash flow from operations, up $22 million year over year, and reduced debt by $1.22 billion, ending the quarter with $1.38 billion of cash. On April 2, 2012, the Company used available cash to further reduce debt by an additional $500 million by redeeming its 10.625% senior notes due 2015.

Russ Fradin, president and chief executive officer, commented, “We’ve continued to make progress on a number of fronts, including closing the sale of our Higher Education business, reducing debt, improving cash flow and better managing our operating costs. Software license sales could have been better, even though last year’s first quarter was exceptionally strong for license sales. I’m confident we’re focused on the right issues and initiatives to improve our performance over the long term.”

Financial Systems revenue was $632 million in the first quarter, down 6% year over year (down 5% adjusting for currency). Excluding the broker/dealer business, revenue decreased 3% year over year (down 2% adjusting for currency). Software license fees were $21 million, a decrease of $29 million compared to the first quarter of 2011, which was an exceptionally strong license quarter including one deal worth $14 million.

Notable deals in the quarter included the following:

Availability Services revenue was $356 million in the first quarter, down 2% year over year (down 2% as well adjusting for currency). The decline in revenue was primarily driven by North American recovery services.

Financial Position

For the first quarter of 2012, the Company generated $75 million in cash flow from operations, invested approximately $60 million in capital expenditures and spent $6 million on one acquisition net of acquired cash. In January of 2012, the Company completed the sale of its Higher Education business for a gross purchase price of $1.775 billion and used the net proceeds to repay $1.22 billion of debt. Over the remainder of the year, the Company expects to pay approximately $450 million in taxes related to this sale. At March 31, 2012, the Company’s leverage ratio as defined in its senior secured credit agreement was 4.2x and net debt (total debt of $6.61 billion less cash of $1.38 billion) was $5.23 billion.

During the quarter, the Company refinanced its senior secured credit agreement to renew the Company’s $880 million revolving credit commitments through November 2016, extend the maturity date of $908 million of its term loans from 2014 to 2017, and obtain amendments to permit the potential separation of the Availability Services business and modify certain other provisions of the credit agreement.

On April 2, 2012, the Company paid $527 million plus accrued interest using available cash to redeem its $500 million 10.625% senior notes due 2015.

SunGard’s “Safe Harbor” Statement under Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Statements in this release other than historical facts constitute forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or similar expressions which concern our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates, financial results and pro forma estimates are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. All of these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those we expected. We derive most of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include: general economic and market conditions; the overall condition of the financial services industry, including the effect of any further consolidation among financial services firms; our high degree of leverage; the effect of war, terrorism, natural disasters or catastrophic events; the effect of disruptions to our systems and infrastructure; the timing and magnitude of software sales; the timing and scope of technological advances; customers taking their information availability solutions in-house; the trend in information availability toward solutions utilizing more dedicated resources; the market and credit risks associated with broker/dealer operations; the ability to retain and attract customers and key personnel; risks relating to the foreign countries where we transact business; the integration and performance of acquired businesses; the ability to obtain patent protection and avoid patent-related

liabilities in the context of a rapidly developing legal framework for software and business-method patents; a material weakness in our internal controls; and unanticipated changes in our tax provision or the adoption of new tax legislation. The factors described in this paragraph and other factors that may affect our business or future financial results are discussed in our periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, copies of which may be obtained from us without charge. We assume no obligation to update any written or oral forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf as a result of new information, future events or other factors.

Note 1. Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and Reconciliation of EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to give effect to certain items that are required in calculating covenant compliance under our senior subordinated notes as well as under our senior secured credit facilities, as amended, which were entered into in August 2005 and our senior notes entered into in September 2008 and November 2010. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by subtracting from or adding to EBITDA items of income or expense described below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent net income (loss), as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow available for management or discretionary use as such measures do not consider certain cash requirements such as capital expenditures (including capitalized software expense), tax payments and debt service requirements. SunGard considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be key indicators of our ability to pay our debt. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures. The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations, the GAAP measure we believe to be most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Further information regarding this reconciliation is included in our periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 2. Reconciliation of Operating Income to Adjusted Operating Income

Adjusted operating income represents operating income adjusted for goodwill impairment charges, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, restructuring and other costs and management fee expense. Adjusted operating income is not a recognized term under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Adjusted operating income does not represent operating income, as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of our operating performance. We have included information concerning adjusted operating income because we use this information when evaluating the underlying performance of the Company. While these charges are not of a non-recurring nature, by excluding these charges, in particular when they materially change from period to period, we are able to perform additional analysis of our business which we believe is important in understanding the operating results of the business. We regularly communicate our results, separately identifying these charges, to our board of directors. We changed how we define adjusted operating income and have conformed prior periods to the current period presentation. Adjusted operating income as presented herein is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures. The following is a reconciliation between adjusted operating income and operating income, the GAAP measure we believe to be most directly comparable to adjusted operating income. Percentage changes are computed based on unrounded amounts.

Note 3. Impact of Broker/Dealer on Reported Revenue Growth of Continuing Operations

Beginning in 2007, the Company experienced significant revenue volatility in one of its capital markets businesses, a broker/dealer business with inherently lower margins than the rest of the financial systems business, and whose revenue is a function of market volatility and customer mix. Reported revenue growth with and without the broker/dealer business for the total Company and Financial Systems for 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 follows:
