Exhibit 99.1

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information gives effect to the acquisition of Mercury Payment Systems, LLC (“Mercury”) by Vantiv, Inc. (“Vantiv” or the “Company”) and the related financing transactions. The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statement of income (“the statement”) for the year ended December 31, 2014 combines the historical consolidated statements of operations of Vantiv and Mercury, giving effect to the merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2014. A pro forma combined balance sheet has not been included in this filing as the transaction is already included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2014. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the pro forma financial statement to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the acquisition and the related financing transactions, (2) factually supportable and (3) expected to have a continuing effect on the combined results of Vantiv and Mercury. In preparing the statement and related notes, the purchase consideration has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Mercury based upon their estimated fair values. The statement contained herein does not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies, or any other synergies that may result from the acquisition.
The statement and related notes should be read in conjunction with (i) the historical consolidated financial statements of Vantiv and the related notes included in Vantiv’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and (ii) the audited consolidated financial statements of Mercury for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the related notes and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Mercury for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and related notes, which were included in Exhibit 99-1 of the Form 8-K/A filed on July 17, 2014.
The statement and related notes are being provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the combined company’s actual consolidated results of operations would have been had the acquisition and the related financing transaction been completed on the date indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the combined company’s future consolidated results of operations for any future period. The statement is based upon currently available information and estimates and assumptions that Vantiv’s management believe are reasonable as of the date of this Form 8-K/A. Any of the factors underlying these estimates and assumptions may change or prove to be materially different.

Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
(in thousands, except per share data)
1. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
The statement and related notes present the pro forma consolidated results of operations of the combined company giving effect to the acquisition and the related financing transactions as if they were completed on January 1, 2014. The statement is derived from the historical consolidated financial statement of Vantiv, the historical financial statement of Mercury and the pro forma adjustments described below.
The pro forma information is presented solely for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations that might have been achieved for the period indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future combined results of the combined company. The statement and related notes should be read in conjunction with (i) the historical consolidated financial statements of Vantiv and the related notes included in Vantiv’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and (ii) the audited consolidated financial statements of Mercury for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the related notes and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Mercury for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and related notes, which were included in Exhibit 99-1 of the Form 8-K/A filed on July 17, 2014.

(b)
To reverse the impact of acquisition costs of $6,549 and debt financing related costs of $26,500 (see additional discussion in (d) below) incurred by the Company in connection with the transactions. These costs are non-recurring and directly related to the transactions and do not have a continuing impact. As a result, they are not included in the pro forma statements of income. No acquisition or refinancing related costs are included in the historical financial statements.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense- The purchase price allocation included the estimated fair value of acquired intangible assets consisting of the following:

Useful Life
  Customer relationships
 
$
332,000

 
10 years
  Trade name
 
15,000

 
2.5 years
The fair value of acquired intangible assets included in the purchase price allocation in the Form 8-K/A previously filed on July 17, 2014 was preliminary, and has subsequently been refined. As a result, the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statement of income includes an adjustment to amortization expense originally included in the Form 8-K/A previously filed on July 17, 2014.
The newly acquired trade name will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life of 2.5 years. The customer relationships acquired in connection with the Mercury acquisition will be amortized based on the pattern of cash flows expected to be realized taking into consideration expected revenues and customer attrition, which are based on historical data and the Company's estimate of future performance. The acquired customer relationships will be amortized on an accelerated basis over their estimated useful life of 10 years. Pro forma amortization expense includes amortization expense for the newly identified intangible assets and the removal of the amortization expense on historical Mercury intangible assets. A pro forma adjustment was not made to depreciation expense as the potential impact was considered to be immaterial.

(d)
Interest Expense- Net- The Company funded the acquisition of Mercury by borrowing an additional $1.67 billion through an amendment and refinancing of the existing loan agreement. The amended and restated loan agreement provides for senior secured credit facilities comprised of a $2.05 billion term A loan maturing in June 2019, a $1.4 billion term B loan maturing in June 2021 and a $425 million revolving credit facility maturing in June 2019. In addition, certain indebtedness of Mercury was repaid by the Company as part of the acquisition transaction. In connection with the debt refinancing, the Company incurred non-operating expenses of approximately $26.5 million pretax, which consisted primarily of non-cash charges related to the write-offs of unamortized deferred financing fees and original issue discount associated with the debt refinancing and certain third party fees.
Pro forma interest expense was adjusted for the impact of the refinancing transaction and the repayment of the Mercury debt. Interest expense was calculated using the rates in effect at the date of the refinancing

transaction, which was 2.16% for the new term A loan and 3.75% for the new term B loan. In addition, debt issuance costs on the new debt were amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis. An increase or decrease of 0.125% per year in the assumed interest rates would increase or decrease annual interest expense by $4.3 million.
