ATLANTA, April 30, 2014 — First Data Corporation today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014. Consolidated revenue for the first quarter was $2.6 billion, up $49 million, or 2%, compared to a year ago, primarily driven by a $30 million increase in reimbursable debit network fees, postage and other, and an increase in card services revenue. Adjusted revenue, which excludes certain items including debit network fees, was up 2% year-over-year at $1.6 billion.

For the first quarter, the net loss attributable to First Data was $201 million, compared to a loss of $337 million a year ago on a $93 million improvement in operating income. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) was $614 million, up $93 million, or 18%, compared to $520 million in the first quarter of 2013, driven by an improvement in revenue and operating expenses. EBITDA margin for the quarter was 37%, up 500 basis points versus prior year.

For the quarter, the company had a net use of $44 million in cash flow from operations after $603 million in cash interest payments. The company finished the quarter with $758 million in unrestricted liquidity.

“First Data delivered a very good quarter, generating double-digit EBITDA growth with solid top line growth in International and steadily improving results in Financial Services,” said First Data Chairman and CEO Frank Bisignano. “We are winning in the marketplace, and we are running the company better — increasing operating effectiveness and efficiency, resulting in better client delivery and margin expansion across the business.”

Segment Results

The company has changed the name of the Retail and Alliance Services segment to Merchant Solutions, reflecting the company’s ongoing transformation from a processing company to a solutions and technology provider.

Merchant Solutions segment revenue for the first quarter was $856 million, down $5 million, compared to $861 million in the same quarter of 2013. Merchant acquiring revenue was flat on higher volumes offset by lower yield. Transaction growth was 5%, and credit mix was 71%. Average ticket was $78, up 1% compared to a year ago. Product revenue was down 2% due to the continued decline in check processing, offset by growth in equipment revenue. Segment EBITDA was $370 million, up 4% compared

to $354 million in the same quarter of 2013. Cost reductions in core operations drove the EBITDA improvement. EBITDA margin for the first quarter was 43%. During the quarter Merchant Solutions added 22 new independent sales organizations, 19 bank referral agreements and one revenue sharing alliance.

Financial Services segment revenue for the first quarter was $349 million, up 5% compared to the same quarter of 2013 on new business and volume growth. The prior year quarter was also negatively impacted by 1% for a price concession to resolve a customer dispute. Average active card accounts on file were up 15% compared to the prior year, primarily driven by new card portfolios and organic growth. Debit issuer transactions were up 1% year-over-year. Segment EBITDA was $173 million, up $40 million or 30%, compared to $133 million in the same quarter of 2013, as a result of cost reductions and revenue growth mentioned above. EBITDA margin for the first quarter improved to 50%. During the quarter Financial Services renewed more than 250 contracts with financial institutions.

International segment revenue for the first quarter was $421 million, up $12 million, or 3%, compared to $409 million. On a constant currency basis, segment revenue was up $29 million, or 7%. Merchant acquiring revenue grew 5% on higher volumes while issuing revenue grew 9% on organic growth and new card portfolios. Segment EBITDA was $128 million, up $28 million, or 28%, compared to the same quarter of 2013. On a constant currency basis, segment EBITDA was up $39 million. Two expense credits, an operating tax credit and a gain on the revaluation of settlement assets, favorably impacted EBITDA by $21 million. EBITDA margin for the first quarter was 30%.

(a)         For purposes of this schedule, long-term debt excludes interest on capital leases.

(b)         This schedule includes estimates regarding First Data Corporation’s business which are not historical facts but are “forward-looking statements.”  Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the economy and other future conditions.  Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict.  Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include: (i) changes in interest rates associated with the Company’s variable rate debt that are materially different than the current LIBOR forward rates; (ii) changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to the Company’s euro-denominated debt; and (iii) the impact of further debt modifications or issuance of new debt.

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

(3)                                 Stock based compensation recognized as expense.

Includes cost savings initiatives associated with the business optimization projects and other technology initiatives described in Note 8, the Banc of America Merchant Services (“BAMS”) alliance, operations and technology initiatives, headcount reductions and other addressable spend reductions.

(13)                          Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interest in restricted subsidiaries.

(14)                          Represents FDC’s proportional share of income taxes, depreciation and amortization on equity method investments.

(16)                          EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to First Data Corporation before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to First Data Corporation as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. The presentation of EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of First Data’s results as reported under GAAP. Management believes EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends because EBITDA excludes 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. 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.

Consolidated EBITDA (or debt covenant EBITDA) is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items, non-recurring items that First Data 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 12 above). Consolidated EBITDA is further adjusted to add net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interest of certain non-wholly-owned subsidiaries and exclude other miscellaneous adjustments that are used in calculating covenant compliance under the agreements governing First Data’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 First Data’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.

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.

(1) Foreign exchange impact represents the difference between actual 2014 revenue and 2014 revenue calculated using 2013 exchange rates.
