PART I
Item 1. Business.
Narrative Description of the Business
FIS is a leading global provider dedicated to banking and payments technologies. With a long history deeply rooted in the financial services sector, FIS serves more than 14,000 institutions in over 100 countries. Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, FIS employs approximately 33,000 people worldwide and holds leadership positions in payment processing and banking solutions, providing software, services and outsourcing of the technology that drives financial institutions. FIS tops the 2011 annual FinTech 100 list and is a member of the Fortune 500 U.S. and of Standard and Poor’s (S&P) 500® Index.
On October 1, 2009, FIS completed the acquisition of Metavante. The resulting combination of solution suites strengthened our competitive position globally, generating substantial economies of scale and providing significant cross-sell opportunities. Metavante expanded the scale of FIS' core processing and payment capabilities, and added comprehensive trust and wealth management processing services as well as the NYCE Network, which joined the Company’s existing EFT offerings. In addition, Metavante added significant scale to our treasury and cash management offerings and provided an entry into the healthcare and government payments markets. These enhanced capabilities enable FIS to provide a selection of solutions to financial institutions across all asset sizes, and to a variety of non-financial organizations, both domestically and internationally. FIS is now well positioned in both the large and mid-tier bank segments, where the majority of IT spending occurs.
On December 2, 2010, FIS acquired Capco, a global business and technology consultancy dedicated solely to the financial services industry. Capco has broadened our capabilities to provide integrated consulting, technology and complex, large-scale transformation services.
On July 2, 2008, we completed the spin-off of our former lender processing services segment into a separate publicly traded company, Lender Processing Services, Inc., referred to as LPS. The results of operations of the lender processing services segment are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods preceding the spin-off.
General Development of the Business
Our business operations and organizational structure result from the February 1, 2006, business combination of FIS and Certegy (the “Certegy Merger”). FIS was viewed as the acquirer for accounting purposes, and our financial statements and other disclosures for periods prior to the Certegy Merger treat FIS as our predecessor company. Also, as a result of the Certegy Merger, the registrant’s name changed from “Certegy Inc.” to “Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.” and our New York Stock Exchange trading symbol from “CEY” to “FIS.” We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia.
Our growth has been driven organically as well as through acquisitions, which have contributed critical applications that are complementary to or enhance existing offerings, including core banking solutions, outsourcing solutions for community banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions, item processing services, card issuer services, risk management solutions, EFT services, prepaid/gift card processing, as well as solutions for global organizations and for those domiciled outside of North America. These strategic transactions have enabled us to quickly broaden our available solution offerings, scale our operations, expand our customer base and strengthen our competitive position.

Financial Information About Operating Segments and Geographic Areas
We report the results of our operations in four reporting segments: 1) Financial Solutions Group (“FSG”); 2) Payment Solutions Group (“PSG”); 3) International Solutions Group (“ISG”); and 4) Corporate and Other.
Competitive Strengths
We believe that our competitive strengths include the following:
• | Leading Proprietary Technology — FIS has a significant number of high quality software applications and services that have been developed over many years with substantial input from our customers. |
• | Comprehensive, Integrated Business Solutions — FIS has the ability to use a wide range of applications and services to provide comprehensive business solutions for our customers. In addition, FIS is able to use the modular nature of our software applications and our ability to integrate many of our services with the services of others to provide customized solutions that respond to individualized customer needs. FIS also offers a wide range of flexible service arrangements for the deployment and support of our software, from traditional license and maintenance fee approaches to managed processing arrangements, either at the customer’s site or at an FIS location. |
• | Excellent Relationship with Customers — A significant percentage of FIS’ business with our customers relates to core processing applications and services, and the nature of this relationship allows us to develop close partnerships with these customers. As the breadth of FIS’ service offerings expands, we have found that our access to key customer personnel is increasing, presenting greater opportunities for cross-selling. |
• | Strong Value Proposition for Customers — We understand the needs of our customers and have developed innovative services that can reduce their operating costs. |
Strategy
Our mission is to achieve profitable growth through providing superior solutions to our customers. Our strategy to achieve this has been and will continue to be built on the following pillars:
• | Solution Integration and Innovation — Continue to invest in internally developed applications and platforms. Enhancing and extending the functionality of our proprietary systems and developing new and innovative applications in response to market needs are essential elements to achieving our growth objectives. |
• | Superior Execution — Deliver value using industry best practices more economically than customers can perform the same services internally. |
• | Enterprise Sales — Leverage opportunities for cross-selling and up-selling to existing customers. FIS has built a centralized team of experienced sales personnel that capitalizes on these opportunities. |
• | Global Diversification — Continue to deploy resources in emerging global markets where we can achieve meaningful scale. |
• | Global Scale - Leverage client relationships and global distribution network to drive revenue growth. Leverage global scale to drive higher operating efficiency. |
• | Strategic Acquisitions — Focus on acquisitions that can bring new applications to existing markets we serve or provide entry into new markets. This strategy has allowed us to build a very broad solutions suite and will contribute to maintaining our competitive position going forward. |
• | Disciplined Capital Investment and Expense Management — Continue to drive operating efficiencies, thereby freeing resources for strategic innovation and global diversification efforts. |

Financial Solutions Group
The focus of FSG is to provide the most comprehensive software and services for the core processing, customer channel, treasury, cash management, wealth management and capital market operations of our financial institution customers in North America. We service the core and related ancillary processing needs of North American banks, credit unions, automotive financial companies, commercial lenders, and independent community and savings institutions. FIS offers a broad selection of in-house and outsourced solutions to banking customers that span the range of asset sizes. FSG customers are typically committed under multi-year contracts that provide a stable, recurring revenue base and opportunities for cross-selling additional financial and payments offerings.
We employ several business models to provide our solutions to our customers. We typically deliver the highest value to our customers when we combine our software applications and deliver them in one of several types of outsourcing arrangements, such as an application service provider, facilities management processing or an application management arrangement. We are also able to deliver individual applications through a software licensing arrangement. Based upon the expertise gained through the foregoing arrangements, some clients also use us to manage their IT operations without providing any of our proprietary software.
Our solutions in this segment include:
• | Core Processing and Ancillary Applications. Our core processing software applications are designed to run critical banking processes for our financial institution clients, including deposit and lending systems, customer management, and other central management systems. Our diverse selection of market-focused core systems enables FIS to effectively compete in a wide range of markets. We also offer a number of services that are ancillary to the primary applications listed above, including branch automation, back office support systems and compliance support. In addition, our wealth management services offer a set of Internet-enabled services to financial services providers that address the specific needs of the rapidly growing wealthy, affluent and emerging affluent markets, as well as commercial clients. These solutions address asset and liability aggregation, trust and investment account management, client and regulatory reporting, and employee retirement benefit services. We also offer an application suite that assists automotive finance institutions in evaluating loan applications and credit risk, and allows automotive finance institutions to manage their loan and lease portfolios. |
• | Channel Solutions. Our comprehensive suite of retail delivery applications enables financial institutions to integrate and streamline customer-facing operations and back-office processes, thereby improving customer interaction across all channels (e.g., branch offices, Internet, ATM, call centers). The FIS focus on consumer access has driven significant market innovation in this area, with multi-channel and multi-host solutions and a strategy that provides tight integration of services and a seamless customer experience. Our Consumer Electronic Banking and Business Internet Banking both provide an extensive set of cash management capabilities, enabling customers to manage banking and payments through the Internet, mobile devices, accounting software and telephone. Corporate Electronic Banking solutions provide commercial treasury capabilities including cash management services and multi-bank collection and disbursement services that address the specialized needs of corporate customers. FIS systems provide full accounting and reconciliation for such transactions, serving as the system of record and providing full regulatory compliance, risk assessment and fraud management tools. |
• | Decision and Risk Management Solutions. Our decision solutions offer a full spectrum of options that cover the account lifecycle from helping to identify qualified account applicants to managing mature customer accounts and fraud. Our applications include know-your-customer, new account decisioning, new account opening, account and transaction management, fraud management and collections. Our risk management services utilize our proprietary risk management models and data sources to assist in detecting fraud and assessing the risk of opening a new account or accepting a check at either the point-of-sale, a physical branch location, or through the Internet. Our systems utilize a combination of advanced authentication procedures, predictive analytics, artificial intelligence modeling and proprietary and shared databases to assess and detect fraud risk for deposit transactions for financial institutions. |
4
• | Syndicated Loan Applications. Our syndicated loan applications are designed to support wholesale and commercial banking requirements necessary for all aspects of syndicated commercial loan origination and management. |
• | Global Commercial Services. Our global commercial services include solutions, both onshore and offshore, designed to meet the technology challenges facing principally U.S. based clients, large or small. Our technology solutions range in scope from consulting engagements to application development projects and from operations support for a single application to full management of information technology infrastructures. We also provide outsourcing teams to manage costs, improve operational efficiency, transform processes and deliver world-class customer service. There is an increased trend toward outsourcing in our customer base, thus expansion of these services represents one of FIS’ growth drivers. |
• | Strategic Consulting Services. With the Capco acquisition, we broadened our capabilities to provide integrated consulting, technology and complex, large-scale transformation services. Capco specializes in banking; capital markets; wealth and investment management; finance, risk and compliance; and technology. Capco's North American operations are included in FSG. |
Payment Solutions Group
PSG provides a comprehensive set of software and services for the EFT, card processing, item processing, bill payment, and government and healthcare payments processing needs of our customers in North America. PSG is focused on servicing the payment and electronic funds transfer needs of North American headquartered banks and credit unions, commercial lenders, independent community and savings institutions and healthcare and government institutions. PSG customers typically commit to multi-year contracts that provide recurring revenues based on underlying payment transaction volumes.
Our solutions in this segment include:
• | Electronic Funds Transfer. Our electronic funds transfer and debit card processing businesses offer settlement and card management solutions for financial institution card issuers. We provide traditional ATM- and PIN-based debit network access and emerging real-time payment alternatives through NYCE. NYCE connects millions of cards and point-of-sale locations nationwide, providing consumers with secure, real-time access to their money. Also through NYCE, clients such as financial institutions, retailers and independent ATM operators can capitalize on the efficiency, consumer convenience and security of electronic real-time payments, real-time account-to-account transfers, and strategic alliances such as surcharge-free ATM network arrangements. We are also a leading provider of prepaid card services, which include gift cards and reloadable cards, with end-to-end solutions for development, processing and administration of stored-value programs. |
• | Item Processing and Output Services. Our item processing services furnish financial institutions with the equipment needed to capture data from checks, transaction tickets and other items; image and sort items; process exceptions through keying; and perform balancing, archiving and the production of statements. Our item processing services are utilized by more than 1,500 financial institutions and are performed at one of our eight item processing centers located throughout the U.S. or on-site at customer locations. Our extensive solutions include distributed (i.e., non-centralized) data capture, check and remittance processing, fraud detection, and document and report management. Customers encompass banks and corporations of all sizes, from de novo banks to the largest financial institutions and corporations. As part of our image solutions services, our Endpoint Exchange Network enables U.S. financial institutions to clear their check-based transactions by allowing for the exchange of check images between member institutions. We offer a number of output services that are ancillary to the primary solutions we provide, including print and mail capabilities and card personalization fulfillment services. Helping clients manage their documents, our CSF® Designer document composition software is used by many clients in various industries to furnish printed or electronically produced invoices and statements for customized customer communication. Our print and mail services offer complete computer output solutions for the creation, management and delivery of print and fulfillment needs. We provide our card personalization fulfillment services for branded credit cards and branded and non-branded debit and prepaid cards. |
• | Credit Card Solutions. More than 5,200 financial institutions utilize a combination of our technology and/or services to issue VISA®, MasterCard® or American Express® branded credit and debit cards or other electronic payment cards for use by both consumer and business accounts. Our services range from card production and activation to an extensive range of fraud management services to value-added loyalty programs designed to increase card usage and fee-based revenues. The majority of our programs are full service, including most of the operations and support necessary for an issuer to operate a credit card program. We do not make credit decisions for our card issuing customers, nor do we fund their receivables. In addition, our merchant card processing service provides everything a |
5
financial institution needs to manage its merchant card activities, including point-of-sale equipment, transaction authorization, draft capture, settlement, charge-back processing and reporting.
• | Government and Healthcare Payments Solutions. FIS healthcare payments solutions facilitate the exchange of information and funds among patients, payers, providers and financial institutions. With Web-enabled tools, a Health Savings Account (HSA) platform, “multi-purse” benefit debit cards that cover multiple spending accounts with a single card and combined eligibility/payment cards, FIS enables consumers and third-party benefits administrators to have integrated benefit account management of HSAs, Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), Health Reimbursement Agreements (HRA) and dependent care and transportation accounts. We also provide comprehensive, customized electronic service applications for government agencies, including Internal Revenue Service (IRS) payment services. We also facilitate the collection of state income taxes, real estate taxes, utility bills, vehicle registration fees, driver’s license renewal fees, parking tickets, traffic citations, tuition payments, court fees and fines, hunting and fishing license fees, as well as various business licenses. |
• | ePayment Solutions. We provide reliable and scalable bill publishing and bill consolidation technology for our customers, generating millions of monthly bills and servicing both billers and financial institution customers. Online bill payment functionality includes credit and debit card-based expedited payments. Our end-to-end presentment and payment solution provides an all-in-one solution to meet billers’ needs for the distribution and collection of bills and other customer documents. FIS also provides automated clearing house (ACH) processing. |
• | Check Authorization. Our check authorization business provides check risk management and related services to businesses accepting or cashing checks. Our services assess the likelihood (and often provide a guarantee) that a check will clear. Our check authorization system utilizes artificial intelligence modeling and other state-of-the-art technology to deliver accuracy, convenience and simplicity to retailers. |
International Solutions Group
ISG provides local services to our customers in more than 100 countries around the world. The services delivered by FIS in these locations provide many of the same financial and payments solutions we offer in North America. We provide core banking applications, channel solutions, card and merchant services, item processing and check risk management solutions to financial institutions, card issuers and retailers.
Our international operations leverage existing applications and provide services for the specific business needs of our customers in targeted international markets. Services are delivered from 28 operations centers around the world. Our payment solutions services include fully outsourced card-issuer services and customer support, payment processing and switching services, prepaid and debit card processing, item processing, software licensing and maintenance, outsourced ATM management and retail point-of-sale check warranty services. Our financial solutions services include fully outsourced core bank processing arrangements, application management, software licensing and maintenance, facilities management and consulting services, including Capco's international operations.
ISG represented approximately 20% of total 2011 revenues, with potential for both growth in existing customer accounts and new account penetration. Management believes the greatest potential for growth is in the Western European, Latin American and Asian markets.
Corporate and Other Segment
The Corporate and Other segment consists of the corporate overhead costs that are not allocated to operating segments. These include costs related to human resources, finance, legal, accounting, domestic sales and marketing, merger and acquisition activity and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and other costs that are not considered when management evaluates operating segment performance.
Sales and Marketing
We have an integrated team of experienced sales personnel with expertise in particular services and the needs of particular types of customers, e.g., financial institutions, other nonbanking customers, and international institutions. This organizational structure enables us to effectively bring relevant skills and knowledge to potential customers and to identify additional solutions for our existing customers, leveraging opportunities to cross-sell and up-sell. We target the majority of our potential customers via direct and/or indirect field sales, as well as inbound and outbound lead generation and telesales efforts.
Our global marketing strategy is to develop and lead the execution of the various business units’ strategic plans in support
6
of their revenue and profitability goals. Key components include thought leadership, consistent message development, internal and external communications, client conference content management, Web content creation and management, trade shows, demand generation campaign involvement and collateral development and management.
Beginning October 1, 2009, we entered into a comprehensive rebranding campaign to bring all of our software and services under one comprehensive set of trademarks, including FIS and NYCE, in support of our marketing strategy. Subsequent to its acquisition in 2010, Capco continues to use its brand because of the differentiated strategic nature of its consulting services.
Patents, Trademarks and Other Intellectual Property
The Company owns intellectual property including trademarks, trade names and patents that are important to its future success. We rely on a combination of contractual restrictions, internal security practices, patents and applicable law to establish and protect our software, technology and expertise worldwide. We rely on trademark law to protect our rights in those brands. While we intend to continue taking appropriate measures to protect our intellectual property rights, these legal protections and arrangements afford only limited protection, and there is no assurance that our competitors will not independently develop or license products, services, or capabilities that are substantially equivalent or superior to ours. In general, we own the proprietary rights necessary for the conduct of our business, although we do license certain items from third parties under arms-length agreements for varying terms.
Competition
Our primary competitors include internal technology departments within financial institutions and retailers, data processing or software development departments of large companies or large computer manufacturers, third-party payment processors, independent computer services firms, companies that develop and deploy software applications, companies that provide customized development, implementation and support services and companies that market software for the financial services industry. Some of these competitors possess substantially greater financial, sales and marketing resources than we do. Competitive factors impacting the success of our services include the quality of the technology-based application or service, application features and functions, ease of delivery and integration, ability of the provider to maintain, enhance, and support the applications or services, and price. We believe that we compete favorably in each of these categories. In addition, we believe that our financial institution industry expertise, combined with our ability to offer multiple applications, services and integrated solutions to individual customers, enhances our competitiveness against companies with more limited offerings. Specific competitors for both financial and payment solutions include Fiserv, Inc. and Jack Henry and Associates, Inc. In the core processing market, we also compete with Open Solutions, Inc., International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), Accenture Ltd., Alliance Data Systems Corporation, DST Systems, Harland Financial Solutions, Inc., SEI Investments Company, S1Corporation, SunGard Data Systems, Inc. and in certain non-U.S. markets, Alnova Technologies Corporation, Oracle Financial Services Software Limited (formerly known as I-Flex Solutions Limited), Misys plc, Infosys Technologies Limited and Temenos Group AG. Our competitors in the card services market include MasterCard Incorporated, Visa Inc., and third-party credit and debit card processors, such as First Data Corporation, Total System Services, Inc., HP Enterprise Services and Payment Systems for Credit Unions (PSCU). Competitors in the check risk management services market include First Data Corporation’s TeleCheck Services division, Heartland Payments Systems, Inc., Total Systems Services, Inc. and Global Payments, Inc.
Research and Development
Our research and development activities have related primarily to the design and development of processing systems and related software applications and risk management platforms. We expect to continue our practice of investing an appropriate level of resources to maintain, enhance and extend the functionality of our proprietary systems and existing software applications, to develop new and innovative software applications and systems in response to the needs of our customers, and to enhance the capabilities surrounding our outsourcing infrastructure. In addition, we intend to offer services that are compatible with new and emerging delivery channels.
As part of our research and development process, we evaluate current and emerging technology for compatibility with our existing and future software platforms. To this end, we engage with various hardware and software vendors in evaluation of various infrastructure components. Where appropriate, we use third-party technology components in the development of our software applications and service offerings. Third-party software may be used for highly specialized business functions, which we may not be able to develop internally within time and budget constraints. Additionally, third-party software may be used for commodity-type functions within a technology platform environment. In the case of nearly all of our third-party software, enterprise license agreements exist for the third-party component and either alternative suppliers exist or transfer rights exist to
7
ensure the continuity of supply. As a result, we are not materially dependent upon any third-party technology components. We work with our customers to determine the appropriate timing and approach to introducing technology or infrastructure changes to our applications and services. In the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, approximately 2% to 3% of revenues were invested in research and development efforts (excluding amounts capitalized).
Government Regulation
Our services are subject to a broad range of complex federal, state, and foreign regulation, including federal truth-in-lending and truth-in-savings rules, Regulation AA (Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices), privacy laws, usury laws, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA Patriot Act, the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, the Community Reinvestment Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act"). The compliance of our services with these and other applicable laws and regulations depends on a variety of factors, including the manner in which our clients use them. Our clients are contractually responsible for determining what is required of them under applicable laws and regulations so that we can assist them in their compliance efforts. The failure of our services to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in restrictions on our ability to provide them, as well as the imposition of civil fines and/or criminal penalties. The principal areas of regulation impacting our business are:
• | Privacy. Our financial institution clients are required to comply with privacy regulations imposed under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. These regulations place restrictions on the use of non-public personal information. All financial institutions must disclose detailed privacy policies to their customers and offer them the opportunity to direct the financial institution not to share information with third parties. The regulations, however, permit financial institutions to share information with non-affiliated parties who perform services for the financial institutions. As a provider of services to financial institutions, we are required to comply with the privacy regulations and are bound by the same limitations on disclosure of the information received from our customers as apply to the financial institutions themselves. |
• | Consumer Reporting. Our retail check authorization services (Certegy Check Services) and account opening services (ChexSystems) maintain databases of consumer information and, as a consequence, are subject to the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act and similar state laws. Among other things, the Fair Credit Reporting Act imposes requirements on us concerning data accuracy, and provides that consumers have the right to know the contents of their files, to dispute their accuracy, and to require verification or removal of disputed information. In furtherance of our objectives of data accuracy, fair treatment of consumers, protection of consumers’ personal information, and compliance with these laws, we strive to maintain a high level of security for our computer systems in which consumer data resides, and we maintain consumer relations call centers to facilitate efficient handling of consumer requests for information and handling disputes. |
The Dodd-Frank Act was enacted and signed into law on July 21, 2010. Among other provisions, this legislation created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the "Bureau"), whose sole focus is to develop, implement and, with respect to financial institutions with more than $10 billion in assets, enforce consumer protection rules promulgated by the Bureau including enhanced oversight of non-financial institutions providing financial services. For financial institutions with less than $10 billion in assets, enforcement of the rules will be carried out by such institution's primary federal regulator. Since some of the regulations implementing the Act have not yet been finalized, we are uncertain as to what degree the legislation may affect our business in the future.
The Housing Assistance Tax Act of 2008 requires, among other provisions, information reporting obligations on payment settlement entities for calendar years beginning after December 31, 2010. This law requires every merchant acquiring entity and third-party settlement organization to file information returns for the gross amount of reportable payment transactions for the calendar year and the reportable payment transactions for each month of the calendar year. The reportable payment transactions are any transactions in which a payment card is accepted as payment and any third-party payment network. This law resulted in significant additional Form 1099 reporting requirements for FIS.
• | Debt Collection. Our collection services are subject to the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and various state collection laws and licensing requirements. The Federal Trade Commission, as well as state attorneys general and other agencies, have enforcement responsibility over the collection laws, as well as the various credit reporting laws. |
• | Money Transfer. Elements of our cash access and money transmission businesses are registered as a Money Services Business and are subject to the USA Patriot Act and reporting requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act and U.S. Treasury |
8
Regulations. These businesses are also subject to various state, local and tribal licensing requirements. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, state attorneys general, and other agencies have enforcement responsibility over laws relating to money laundering, currency transmission, and licensing. In addition, most states have enacted statutes that require entities engaged in money transmission and the sale of stored value cards to register as a money transmitter with that jurisdiction’s banking department.
Also included in the Dodd-Frank Act is a requirement that the Federal Reserve Board enact regulations governing interchange fees and network fees arising from electronic debit card and reloadable general-use gift card transactions. Under the legislation, the amount of interchange fees that issuers with more than $10 billion in assets may charge must be “reasonable and proportional” to the cost incurred by the issuer. The final rules in Section 1075 of the Dodd-Frank Act amended the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (''EFTA'') by adding a new section 920 regarding interchange transaction fees and rules for payment card transactions. As required by the statute, the final rule establishes standards for assessing whether debit card interchange fees received by debit card issuers are reasonable and proportional to the costs incurred by issuers for electronic debit transactions. Under the final rule, the maximum permissible interchange fee that a covered issuer may receive for an electronic debit transaction will be the sum of $0.21 per transaction and five basis points multiplied by the value of the transaction, plus a possible $0.01 fraud prevention adjustment. In accordance with the statute, issuers that, together with their affiliates, have assets of less than $10 billion are exempt from the debit card interchange fee standards. The provision regarding debit card interchange fees became effective on October 1, 2011.
• | The final rule also prohibits all issuers and networks from restricting the number of networks over which electronic debit transactions may be processed to less than two unaffiliated networks. The effective date for the network exclusivity prohibition is April 1, 2012, with respect to issuers, and October 1, 2011, with respect to payment card networks. Issuers of certain health-related and other benefit cards and general-use prepaid cards have a delayed effective date of April 1, 2013, or later in certain circumstances. |
• | Issuers and networks are also prohibited from inhibiting a merchant's ability to direct the routing of the electronic debit transaction over any network that the issuer has enabled to process them. The merchant routing provisions became effective on October 1, 2011. |
The fee changes are a significant reduction from the current per transaction average rate. For FIS, interchange fees are primarily pass-through fees and this change would not have a direct impact to our earnings. However, it is uncertain what the indirect impact will be on FIS as our clients are faced with significant revenue reductions from the interchange rate changes. Moreover, since the regulations implementing the Dodd-Frank Act have not been finalized, we are uncertain as to what degree the legislation may affect our business in the future. The proposed regulations do not appear to be intended to directly affect interchange fees applicable to credit card transactions, but do prohibit networks from “inhibiting” retailers from setting minimum purchase amounts for use of credit cards as long as the minimum does not discriminate among issuers or networks and the minimum is not greater than $10.
• | Oversight by Banking Regulators. As a provider of electronic data processing and back-office services to financial institutions, FIS is subject to regulatory oversight and examination by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC"), an interagency body of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the National Credit Union Administration and various state regulatory authorities as part of the Multi-Region Data Processing Servicer Program ("MDPS"). The MDPS program includes technology providers that provide mission critical applications for a large number of financial institutions that are regulated by multiple regulatory agencies. Periodic information technology examination assessments are performed using FFIEC Interagency guidelines to identify potential risks that could adversely affect serviced financial institutions, determine compliance with applicable laws and regulations that affect the services provided to financial institutions and to ensure the services we provide to financial institutions do not create systemic risk to the banking system or impact the safe and sound operation of the financial institutions we process. In addition, independent auditors annually review several of our operations to provide reports on internal controls for our customers’ auditors and regulators. We are also subject to review under state and foreign laws and rules that regulate many of the same activities that are described above, including electronic data processing and back-office services for financial institutions and the use of consumer information. |
The foregoing list of laws and regulations to which our Company is subject is not exhaustive, and the regulatory framework governing our operations changes continuously. Enactment of new laws and regulations may increasingly affect the operations of our business, directly and indirectly, which could result in substantial regulatory compliance costs, litigation expense, adverse publicity, and/or loss of revenue.

Information Security
As part of our business, we electronically receive, process, store and transmit sensitive business information and payments of our customers. FIS takes information security and risk management very seriously and is committed to providing industry leading secure and reliable solutions to our clients. Cyber incidents include gaining unauthorized access to digital systems to facilitate financial fraud, disrupt operations, corrupt data, steal sensitive information, or cause denial-of-service on Web sites. Globally, there have been an increasing number of these types of incidents and it is commonplace to read about such attacks in the media.
FIS was the victim of a cyber attack against one of our prepaid clients on our Sunrise prepaid card platform in early 2011, which resulted in a financial loss to FIS of approximately $13.0 million. At that time, we identified information relating to approximately 7,200 prepaid accounts that may have been viewed and that three individual cardholders' non-public information may have been disclosed as a result of the unauthorized activities. FIS worked with the clients to take appropriate action including blocking and reissuing potentially impacted cards for the affected accounts. We have continued to monitor these accounts. No financial institutions or financial institution customers suffered any financial loss as a result of the attack.
In response to the Sunrise event and in support of our ongoing commitment to information security, FIS dedicated substantial additional resources in 2011 and continuing into 2012. These resources continue to advance FIS' information security activities including, but not limited to:
• | Increased review of all servers within our environment to identify any potential impacts of the unauthorized activity and implementing enhanced fraud monitoring and network controls; |
• | Performing the necessary re-certifying Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard compliance of the Sunrise prepaid platform required after any incident; |
• | Implementing enhanced information security processes including creating a cross-functional team to implement enhanced transaction monitoring to detect or prevent fraudulent activity; |
• | Expanding risk assessment coverage and performing a risk assessment of all Internet-facing products; |
• | Enhancing the Information Security Strategic Plan with short-term and long-term measures to improve FIS' information security; |
• | Adding a new Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) with extensive security and fraud experience; and |
• | Improving our inventory of technology, data and information security assets worldwide. |
We anticipate that these initiatives will require additional resources. We increased the amounts spent on information security in 2011 and will nearly double this spend in 2012. See “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Business and Operations - Security breaches or our own failure to comply with privacy regulations and industry security requirements imposed on providers of services to financial institutions and card processing services could harm our business by disrupting our delivery of services and damaging our reputation.”
Employees
As of December 31, 2011, we had approximately 33,000 employees, including approximately 19,000 employees principally employed outside of the U.S. None of our U.S. workforce currently is unionized. Approximately 10,500 of our employees, primarily in Brazil and Germany, are represented by labor unions. We consider our relations with employees to be good.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors. |
In addition to the normal risks of business, we are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including those listed below and others described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any of the risks described herein could result in a significant adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Related to Our Markets and Industry
Consolidations and business failures in the banking and financial services industry could adversely affect our business by eliminating some of our existing and potential customers and making us more dependent on a more limited number of customers.
There has been and continues to be substantial consolidation activity in the banking and financial services industry. In addition, many financial institutions that experienced negative operating results, including some of our customers, have failed.
The consolidations and failures reduce the number of our potential customers and may reduce the number of our customers, which could adversely affect our revenues, even if the events do not reduce the aggregate activities of the consolidated entities. Further, if our customers fail and/or merge with or are acquired by other entities that are not our customers, or that use fewer of our services, they may discontinue or reduce use of our services. It is also possible that larger financial institutions resulting from consolidations would have greater leverage in negotiating terms or could decide to perform in-house some or all of the services which we currently provide or could provide. Any of these developments could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If we fail to adapt our services to changes in technology or in the marketplace, or if our ongoing efforts to upgrade our technology are not successful, we could lose customers and have difficulty attracting new customers for our services.
The markets for our services are characterized by constant technological changes, frequent introductions of new services and evolving industry standards. Our future success will be significantly affected by our ability to enhance our current services, and develop and introduce new services that address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers and their clients. These initiatives carry the risks associated with any new service development effort, including cost overruns, delays in delivery, and performance issues. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing, marketing and selling new services that meet these changing demands, that we will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction, and marketing of these services, or that our new services and their enhancements will adequately meet the demands of the marketplace and achieve market acceptance. Any of these developments could have an adverse impact on our future revenues and/or business prospects.
We operate in a competitive business environment, and if we are unable to compete effectively our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
The market for our services is intensely competitive. Our competitors vary in size and in the scope and breadth of the services they offer. Some of our competitors have substantial resources. We face direct competition from third parties, and since many of our larger potential customers have historically developed their key applications in-house and therefore view their system requirements from a make-versus-buy perspective, we often compete against our potential customers’ in-house capacities. In addition, we expect that the markets in which we compete will continue to attract new competitors and new technologies. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures we face in the markets in which we operate will not materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See "Item I. Business. Competition."
Global economic, political and other conditions including business cycles and consumer confidence may adversely affect our customers or trends in consumer spending, which may adversely impact the demand for our services and our revenue and profitability.
A significant portion of our revenue is derived from transaction processing fees. The global transaction processing industries depend heavily upon the overall level of consumer, business and government spending. Any change in economic factors including a sustained deterioration in general economic conditions or consumer confidence, particularly in the United
11
States, or increases in interest rates in key countries in which we operate may adversely affect consumer spending including related consumer debt, reduce check writing, change credit and debit card usage, and may adversely affect our financial performance by reducing the number or average purchase amount of transactions that we service.
Constraints within global financial markets or international regulatory requirements could constrain our financial institution customers working or available capital, reducing their ability to purchase our services and impacting our future growth and profitability.
A significant number of our customers or potential customers may hold sovereign debt or be subject to emerging international requirements such as Basel III, which could require changes in their capitalization and hence free working capital to purchase our services. These organizations could have their capital constrained if the value of sovereign debt of nations such as Greece, Spain, Italy, Ireland or Portugal continues to decline, if additional countries default on their debt, or if emerging regulatory requirements such as Basel III require institutions to alter their capital structures. These potential constraints could alter the ability of customers or potential customers to purchase our services and thus could have a significant impact on our future growth and profitability.
Potential customers may be reluctant to switch to a new vendor, which may adversely affect our growth.
For banks and other potential customers of our financial information software and services, switching from one vendor of bank core processing or related software and services (or from an internally-developed system) to a new vendor is a significant undertaking. Many potential customers perceive potential disadvantages such as loss of accustomed functionality, increased costs (including conversion costs) and business disruption. As a result, potential customers may resist change. We seek to overcome this resistance through value enhancing strategies such as a defined conversion process, system integration including bundling additional services and making ongoing investments to enhance the functionality of our software. However, there can be no assurance that our strategies for overcoming potential customers’ reluctance to change vendors will be successful, and this resistance may adversely affect our growth.
The sales and implementation cycles for many of our software and services can be lengthy and require significant investment from both our customers and FIS. If we fail to close sales or if a customer chooses not to complete an installation after expending significant time and resources to do so, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.
The sales and associated deployment of many of our software or services often involve significant capital commitments by our customers and/or FIS. Potential customers generally commit significant resources to an evaluation of available software and services and require us to expend substantial time, effort, and money educating them as to the value. Further, as part of the sale or deployment of our software and services, customers may also require FIS to perform significant related services to complete a proof of concept or custom development to meet their needs. All of the aforementioned activities may expend significant funds and management resources and ultimately the customer may determine not to close the sale or complete the implementation. If we are unsuccessful in closing sales or if the customer decides not to complete an implementation after expending significant funds and management resources or we experience delays, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Failure to obtain new clients or renew client contracts on favorable terms could result in a lower number or loss of clients and adversely affect results of operations and financial condition.
We may face pricing pressure in obtaining and retaining our larger clients. Larger clients may be able to seek price reductions from us when they renew a contract, when a contract is extended, or when the client's business has significant volume changes. Further, our smaller and mid-size clients may exert pricing pressure due to pricing competition or other economic needs or pressures being experienced by the customer. On some occasions, this pricing pressure results in lower revenue from a client than we had anticipated based on our previous agreement with that client. This reduction in revenue could result in an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Further, failure to renew client contracts on favorable terms could have an adverse effect on our business. Our contracts with customers generally run for several years and provide for early termination fees. Terms are generally renegotiated prior to the end of a contract's term. If we are not successful in achieving a high rate of contract renewals on favorable terms, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Business and Operations
We may experience defects, development delays, installation difficulties, system failure, or other service disruptions with
12
respect to our technology solutions, which would harm our business and reputation and expose us to potential liability.
Many of our services are based on sophisticated software and computing systems, and we may encounter delays when developing new technology solutions and services. Further, the technology solutions underlying our services have occasionally contained and may in the future contain undetected errors or defects when first introduced or when new versions are released. In addition, we may experience difficulties in installing or integrating our technologies on platforms used by our customers or our customers may cancel a project after we have expended significant effort and resources to complete an installation. Finally, our systems and operations could be exposed to damage or interruption from fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failure, unauthorized entry and computer viruses. Defects in our technology solutions, errors or delays in the processing of electronic transactions, or other difficulties could result in: (i) interruption of business operations; (ii) delay in market acceptance; (iii) additional development and remediation costs; (iv) diversion of technical and other resources; (v) loss of customers; (vi) negative publicity; or (vii) exposure to liability claims. Any one or more of the foregoing could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although we attempt to limit our potential liability through controls including system redundancies, security controls, application development and testing controls and disclaimers and limitation-of-liability provisions in our license and customer agreements, we cannot be certain that these measures will always be successful in preventing disruption or limiting our liability.
The Dodd-Frank Act may result in business changes for our customers that could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, or prospects for future growth and overall business.
Our customers, and as a result our associated software and services, are required to comply with numerous regulations. The Dodd-Frank Act and associated Durbin Amendment were passed and signed into law in 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act represents a comprehensive overhaul of the financial services industry within the United States, establishes the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and will require this and other federal agencies to implement many new regulations, including the potential to increase the amount and types of regulation on areas of our business that were not previously regulated. The Durbin Amendment established interchange fee ceilings and allows merchants to direct routing of transactions, both effective October 1, 2011, and establishes provisions which require all issuers to utilize at least two unaffiliated networks for processing, which will be effective April, 1, 2012. These changes may alter the nature or type of card programs offered by our customers, which could have an ongoing impact to our future growth or revenue for debit cards or other card programs. Further, these changes could impact the volume or dollar amount of transactions that are routed through our network, which could alter the number of transactions that we process and could have an impact on our future processing fee revenue.
Several new regulations and rules will be written and implemented as directed by the aforementioned legislation throughout 2012 and beyond and these new rules and regulations will require our customers or potential customers to comply with new requirements and could require FIS to directly comply with new regulations. See "Item I. Business. Government Regulation" for more information regarding certain of these new requirements. These new requirements could result in the need for FIS to make capital investments to modify our products and services to facilitate our customers and potential customers' compliance, as well as to deploy additional processes or reporting to comply with new regulations. Further, requirements of the new regulations could result in changes in our customers' business practices and those of other marketplace participants that may alter the delivery of services to consumers which could impact the demand for our software and services as well as alter the type or volume of transactions that we process on behalf of our customers. As a result, the new legislation could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, prospects for future growth and overall business.
Many of our customers are subject to a regulatory environment and to industry standards that may change in a manner that reduces the number of transactions in which our customers engage and therefore reduces our revenues.
Our customers are subject to a number of government regulations and industry standards with which our services must comply. Our customers must ensure that our services and related products work within the extensive and evolving regulatory and industry requirements applicable to them. Federal, state, foreign or industry authorities could adopt laws, rules or regulations affecting our customers' businesses that could lead to increased operating costs and could reduce the convenience and functionality of our products and services, possibly resulting in reduced market acceptance. In addition, action by regulatory authorities relating to credit availability, data usage, privacy, or other related regulatory developments could have an adverse effect on our customers and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Regulations enacted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau may require FIS to enact new business practices which may require capital investment which could impact our future operating results.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will regulate non-financial institutions and providers to those organizations.
13
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is establishing its regulatory agenda and will likely pass additional rules for regulating non-financial institution providers to ensure adequate protection of consumer privacy and to ensure consumers are not impacted by deceptive business practices. The impact of these rules may require FIS or its subsidiaries to be subject to additional regulation and adopt additional business practices which could require additional capital expenditures or impact our operating results.
Our revenues from the sale of services to members of VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and other similar organizations are dependent upon our continued certification and sponsorship, and the loss or suspension of certification or sponsorship could adversely affect our business.
In order to provide our card processing services, we must be certified (including applicable sponsorship) by VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and other similar organizations. These certifications are dependent upon our continued adherence to the standards of the issuing bodies and sponsoring member banks. The member financial institutions, some of which are our competitors, set the standards with which we must comply. If we fail to comply with these standards we could be fined, our certifications could be suspended, or our registration could be terminated. The suspension or termination of our certifications, or any changes in the rules and regulations governing VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, or other similar organizations could prevent our registration or otherwise limit our ability to provide services, which could result in a reduction in revenue or increased costs of operation, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Changes in card association and debit network fees or products could increase costs or otherwise limit our operations.
From time to time, card associations and debit networks increase the interchange fees that they charge. It is possible that competitive pressures will result in our absorption of a portion of such increases in the future, which would increase our operating costs, reduce our profit margin and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operation. Furthermore, the rules and regulations of the various card associations and networks prescribe certain capital requirements. Any increase in the capital level required would further limit our use of capital for other purposes.
Interchange fees and related practices have been receiving significant legal and regulatory scrutiny worldwide. The resulting regulatory changes that could occur from proposed regulations could alter the fees charged by card associations and debit networks worldwide. The impact from the regulations could change from time to time and the resulting changes in fees could impact the card issuance or services offered by our customers, which could have an adverse impact to our business or financial condition due to reductions or changes in types of transactions processed on behalf of our customers. See "Item I. Business. Government Regulation" for more information.
If we fail to comply with applicable regulations or to meet regulatory expectations, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be adversely impacted.
The majority of our data processing services for financial institutions are not directly subject to federal or state regulations specifically applicable to financial institutions such as banks, thrifts and credit unions. However, as a provider of services to these financial institutions, our data processing operations are examined on a regular basis by various federal and state regulatory authorities. If we fail to comply with any applicable regulations or guidelines for operations of a data services provider, we could be subject to regulatory actions or rating changes, may not meet contractual obligations, or suffer harm to our client relationships or reputation. Failure to meet the aforementioned requirements or to adapt to new requirements at the Federal, state or international level could inhibit our ability to retain existing customers or obtain new customers, which could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition to our data processing services described above, we also have business operations that store, process or transmit consumer information or have direct relationships with consumers that are obligated to comply with regulations including, but not limited to, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Debt Collection Practices Act and applicable privacy requirements. Further, our international businesses must comply with applicable U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Failure to maintain compliance with or adapt to changes in any of the aforementioned requirements could result in fines, penalties or regulatory actions that could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Security breaches or our own failure to comply with laws and regulations and industry security requirements imposed on providers of services to financial institutions and card processing services could harm our business by disrupting our delivery of services and damaging our reputation.
As part of our business, we electronically receive, process, store and transmit sensitive business information of our customers. In addition, we collect personal consumer data, such as names and addresses, social security numbers, driver's
14
license numbers, cardholder data and payment history records to support our customers transaction processing, as well as part of our check authorization and collection businesses. The uninterrupted operation of our information systems and the confidentiality of the customer/consumer information that resides on such systems are critical to our successful operation. If we fail to maintain an adequate security infrastructure, adapt to emerging security threats, or implement sufficient security standards and technology to protect against security breaches the confidentiality of the information we secure could be compromised. Unauthorized access to our computer systems or databases could result in the theft or publication of confidential information, the deletion or modification of records or could otherwise cause interruptions in our operations. These risks are increased when we transmit information over the Internet and due to increasing security risks posed by organized crime and politically motivated hackers. The Company experienced a security breach in 2011 (see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Any additional breach could result in significant remediation costs, increased cybersecurity protection costs, lost revenues, litigation and reputational damage.
Unauthorized access can also result in financial losses; for example, we reported a loss of approximately $13.0 million during the first quarter of 2011 related to unauthorized activities involving one client and twenty-two prepaid card accounts on our Sunrise platform. At that time, we identified approximately 7,200 prepaid accounts that may have been at risk and that three individual cardholders' non-public information may have been disclosed as a result of the unauthorized activities. FIS worked with the clients to take appropriate action including blocking and reissuing potentially impacted cards for the affected accounts. We have continued to monitor these accounts. No financial institutions or financial institution customers suffered any financial loss as a result of the attack. See “Business - Government Regulation” for specific steps we intend to take. However, there can be no assurance that these steps will eliminate the possibility that unauthorized access could occur.
Further, as a provider of services to financial institutions and card processing services, we are bound by the same limitations on disclosure of the information we receive from our customers as apply to the customers themselves. If we fail to comply with these regulations and industry security requirements, we could be exposed to suits for breach of contract, governmental proceedings or the imposition of fines, or prohibitions on card processing services. In addition, if more restrictive privacy laws, rules or industry security requirements are adopted in the future on the federal or state level or by a specific industry body, they could have an adverse impact on us through increased costs or restrictions on business processes. Any inability to prevent security or privacy breaches, or the perception that such breaches may occur, could cause our existing customers to lose confidence in our systems and terminate their agreements with us, inhibit our ability to attract new customers and/or result in increasing regulation or other adverse consequences from the government agencies that regulate our business.
Misappropriation of our intellectual property and proprietary rights could impair our competitive position.
Our ability to compete depends upon proprietary systems and technology. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our services or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our proprietary rights is difficult. We cannot make any assurances that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of technology or that the agreements entered into for that purpose will be enforceable. Effective trademark, service mark, copyright, and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which our applications and services are made available online. Misappropriation of our intellectual property or potential litigation concerning such matters could have an adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
If our applications or services are found to infringe the proprietary rights of others, we may be required to change our business practices and may also become subject to significant costs and monetary penalties.
As our information technology applications and services develop, we are increasingly subject to infringement claims. Any claims, whether with or without merit, could: (i) be expensive and time-consuming to defend; (ii) result in an injunction or other equitable relief which could cause us to cease making, licensing or using applications that incorporate the challenged intellectual property; (iii) require us to redesign our applications, if feasible; (iv) divert management’s attention and resources; and (v) require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements in order to obtain the right to use necessary technologies or pay damages resulting from any infringing use.
We face liability to our merchant customers if checks that we have guaranteed are dishonored by the check writer’s bank.
If a check that we have guaranteed is dishonored by the check writer’s bank, we must reimburse our merchant customer for the check’s face value and pursue collection of the amount from the check writer. In some cases, we recognize a liability to our merchant customers for estimated check returns and a receivable for amounts we estimate we will recover from the check writers, based on historical experience and other relevant factors. The estimated check returns and recovery amounts are subject to the risk that actual amounts returned may exceed our estimates and actual amounts recovered may be less than our estimates.
15
Lack of system integrity, fraudulent payments, credit quality related to funds settlement or the availability of clearing services could result in a financial loss.
We settle funds on behalf of financial institutions, other businesses and consumers and receive funds from clients, card issuers, payment networks and consumers on a daily basis for a variety of transaction types. Transactions facilitated by us include debit card, credit card, electronic bill payment transactions, Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) payments and check clearing that supports consumers, financial institutions and other businesses. These payment activities rely upon the technology infrastructure that facilitates the verification of activity with counterparties, the facilitation of the payment as well as the detection or prevention of fraudulent payments. If the continuity of operations, integrity of processing, or ability to detect or prevent fraudulent payments were compromised this could result in a financial loss to us. In addition, we rely on various financial institutions to provide ACH services in support of funds settlement for certain of our products. If we are unable to obtain such ACH services in the future, that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations. In addition, we may issue credit to consumers, financial institutions or other businesses as part of the funds settlement. A default on this credit by a counterparty could result in a financial loss to us. Furthermore, if one of our customers for which we facilitate settlement suffers a fraudulent event due to an error of their controls, we may suffer a financial loss if the customer does not have sufficient capital to cover the loss.
Our business is subject to the risks of international operations, including movements in foreign currency exchange rates.
Our international operations represent approximately 20% of total 2011 revenues, with approximately 18% of our total revenues conducted in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, including the Brazilian Real, British Pound and Euro. As a result, our financial condition and operating results could be significantly affected by risks associated with international activities, including economic and labor conditions, political instability, tax laws (including U.S. taxes on foreign subsidiaries), differences in business practices and changes in the value of the U.S. Dollar versus local currencies. In addition, we are less well-known internationally than in the United States, have less experience with local business conditions and may face challenges in successfully managing small operations located far from our headquarters, because of the greater difficulty in overseeing and guiding operations from a distance.
As we expand our international operations, more of our customers may pay us in foreign currencies. Conducting business in currencies other than U.S. Dollars subjects us to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Our primary exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates relates to foreign currencies in Brazil, Europe, Australia and parts of Asia. The U.S. Dollar value of our net investments in foreign operations, the periodic conversion of foreign-denominated earnings to the U.S. Dollar (our reporting currency), our results of operations and, in some cases, cash flows, could be adversely affected in a material manner by movements in foreign currency exchange rates. These risks could cause an adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.
Failure to attract and retain skilled technical employees or senior management personnel could harm our ability to grow.
Our future success depends upon our ability to attract and retain highly-skilled technical personnel. Because the development of our products and services requires knowledge of computer hardware, operating system software, system management software and application software, our technical personnel must be proficient in a number of disciplines. Competition for such technical personnel is intense, and our failure to hire and retain talented personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our future growth will also require sales and marketing, financial and administrative personnel to develop and support new products and services, to enhance and support current products and services and to expand operational and financial systems. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain the necessary personnel to accomplish our growth strategies and we may experience constraints that could adversely affect our ability to satisfy client demand in a timely fashion.
Our ability to maintain compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations and to manage and monitor the risks facing our business relies upon the ability to maintain skilled compliance, security, risk and audit professionals. Competition for such skillsets is intense, and our failure to hire and retain talented personnel could have an adverse effect on our internal control environment and impact our operating results.
Our senior management team has significant experience in the financial services industry, either at FIS or with clients or competitors, and the loss of this leadership could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Further, the loss of this leadership may have an adverse impact on senior management's ability to provide effective oversight and strategic direction for all key functions within the company which could impact future business, operating results and financial condition.
16
We are the subject of various legal proceedings that could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and profitability.
We are involved in various litigation matters, including in some cases class-action and patent infringement litigation, and also are involved in or the subject of governmental or regulatory agency inquiries or investigations from time to time. If we are unsuccessful in our defense in the litigation matters, or compliance with any governmental or regulatory rules, we may be forced to pay damages or fines and/or change our business practices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Unfavorable resolution of tax contingencies could adversely affect our tax expense.
Our tax returns and positions are subject to review and audit by Federal, state, local and international taxing authorities. An unfavorable outcome to a tax audit could result in higher tax expense, and could negatively impact our effective tax rate, financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the current and/or future periods.
The chairman of our Board of Directors and other officers and directors have interests and positions that could present potential conflicts.
We and certain of our subsidiaries are parties to a variety of related party agreements and relationships with FNF. William P. Foley, II, who is our Chairman, is currently the Chairman of the Board of Directors of FNF. Brent B. Bickett and Michael L. Gravelle, who are executive officers of FIS, are also executive officers of FNF. William P. Foley, II, Brent B. Bickett and Michael L. Gravelle also own or hold substantial amounts of FNF stock and stock options. Thomas M. Hagerty and Richard N. Massey, who are both directors of FIS, are also directors of FNF. As a result of the foregoing, there may be circumstances where certain of our executive officers and directors may be subject to conflicts of interest with respect to, among other things: (i) our ongoing relationship with FNF, including related party agreements and other arrangements with respect to the administration of tax matters, employee benefits and indemnification; (ii) the quality, pricing and other terms associated with services that we provide to FNF, or that FNF provides to us, under related party agreements; (iii) business opportunities arising for either us or FNF, that could be pursued by either us or by FNF; and (iv) conflicts of time with respect to matters potentially or actually involving or affecting FIS.
We seek to manage these potential conflicts through abstention, oversight by independent members of our Board of Directors and provisions in our agreements with FNF. However, there can be no assurance that such measures will be effective or that we will be able to resolve all potential conflicts with FNF, or that the resolution of any such conflicts will be no less favorable to us than if we were dealing with an unaffiliated third party.
Our agreements with related parties may be more or less favorable than agreements negotiated at arm's-length with independent parties.
We have entered into various agreements with certain related parties, including, without limitation, FNF and Ceridian Corporation, pursuant to which we will provide services to each such related party as a client. We believe the amount earned from or charged by us under each such arrangement is fair and reasonable, and that our service arrangements are priced within the range of prices we offer to third parties; however, the amounts we earned or that were charged under these arrangements were not negotiated at arm's-length, and may not represent the terms that we might have obtained from an unrelated third party for similar services. Any inferior terms that such agreements may contain as compared to agreements negotiated with unrelated third parties may have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
Risks Related to Business Combinations
If we are unable to successfully consummate and integrate acquisitions, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
We have made numerous acquisitions in recent years as a part of our growth strategy. We anticipate that we will continue to seek to acquire complementary businesses and services. This strategy will depend on the ability to find suitable acquisitions and finance them on acceptable terms. We may require additional debt or equity financing for future acquisitions, and doing so may be made more difficult by our existing debt. If we are unable to acquire suitable acquisition candidates, we may experience slower growth. Further, after successfully completing acquisitions, we face challenges in integrating acquired businesses. These challenges include eliminating redundant operations, facilities and systems, coordinating management and personnel, retaining key employees, managing different corporate cultures, and achieving cost reductions and cross-selling opportunities. There can
17
be no assurance that we will be able to fully integrate all aspects of acquired businesses successfully or fully realize the potential benefits of bringing them together, and the process of integrating these acquisitions may disrupt our business and divert our resources.
We have a substantial investment in our Brazilian Venture and drive significant revenue through that venture that would be lost and result in significant termination costs if our venture partner were to terminate the agreement.
Revenue attributable to our Brazilian Venture partner, Banco Bradesco, accounted for $300.2 million in 2011. The Brazilian Venture processes over 50 million cards and is continuing to grow. The contract that we have with our Brazilian Venture partner allows for the termination of the contract at any point during the ten year term. This risk of contract termination is mitigated by guaranteed performance targets and minimum payments that would be triggered upon the event of a termination. These payments have been established based on FIS' expected rate of return for the contract over a 10-year period. The required payments and buyouts decline each year and are further reduced by returns in excess of the expected returns for the contract and reduce the overall barrier to exiting the venture. If our partner were to exit the agreement, this could have a significant impact on our future revenue and growth. For further detail on our Brazilian Venture see Note 6.
Additionally, we employ approximately 10,000 employees in Brazil who would have the ability to file labor claims if their employment is terminated. If our Brazilian Venture partner were to terminate the agreement, we may be subject to labor claims filed by employees of the Venture. These claims, if realized, could result in a significant cost and impact to our earnings.
We have substantial investments in recorded goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of prior acquisitions, and a severe or extended economic downturn could cause these investments to become impaired, requiring write-downs that would reduce our operating income.
As of December 31, 2011, goodwill aggregated to $8,542.8 million, or 61.7% of total assets, and other indefinite lived intangible assets aggregated to $81.0 million, or 0.6% of total assets. Current accounting rules require goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets to be assessed for impairment at least annually or whenever changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstance include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, a significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization, and negative industry or economic trends. The results of our fiscal year 2011 annual assessment of the recoverability of goodwill indicated that the fair values of the Company’s reporting units were in excess of the carrying values of those reporting units, and thus no goodwill impairment existed as of December 31, 2011. With the exception of the Capco trademark in North America (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), the fair value of indefinite lived intangible assets was in excess of the carrying value of those assets. However, if worldwide or United States economic conditions decline significantly with negative impacts to bank spending and consumer behavior, or if other business or market changes impact our outlook, the carrying amount of our goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets may no longer be recoverable and we may be required to record an impairment charge, which would have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
As of December 31, 2011, intangible assets with definite useful lives aggregated to $1,822.3 million, or 13.2% of total assets. Current accounting rules require intangible assets with definite useful lives to be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstance include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, a significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization, and negative industry or economic trends.
We will continue to monitor the fair value of our other intangible assets as well as our market capitalization and the impact of any economic downturn on our business to determine if there is an impairment in future periods.
Risks Related to our Indebtedness
Losses, consolidations and failures in the financial services industry may impact our ability to borrow funds or the ability of our lenders to fulfill their obligations under our interest rate swap agreements.
Many financial institutions are currently experiencing negative operating results. In some cases, these negative operating results have led to financial institution failures and/or consolidations. As a result, lenders may become insolvent or further tighten lending standards, which could in turn make it more difficult or impossible for lenders to perform their obligations under our interest rate swap agreements or for us to borrow under our Credit Agreement, obtain financing on favorable terms, or obtain financing or interest rate swap agreements at all. Our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely
18
affected if a financial institution fails to fulfill its obligations under our interest rate swap agreements or we are unable to draw funds under our Credit Agreement or obtain other cost-effective financing.
Our existing levels of debt and debt service requirements may adversely affect our financial condition or operational flexibility and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our outstanding indebtedness.
As of December 31, 2011, we had total debt of approximately $4,809.8 million. This level of debt could have adverse consequences for our business, financial condition, operating results and operational flexibility, including the following: (i) the debt level may cause us to have difficulty borrowing money in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes; (ii) our debt level may limit operational flexibility and our ability to pursue business opportunities and implement certain business strategies; (iii) we use a large portion of our operating cash flow to pay principal and interest on our senior secured credit facilities and interest on our notes, which reduces the amount of money available to finance operations, acquisitions and other business activities, repay other indebtedness, purchase our outstanding stock and pay shareholder dividends; (iv) some of our debt has a variable rate of interest, which exposes us to the risk of increased interest rates; (v) we have a higher level of debt than some of our competitors or potential competitors, which may cause a competitive disadvantage and may reduce flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions, including increased competition and vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; (vi) there are significant maturities on our debt that we may not be able to fulfill or that may be refinanced at higher rates; and (vii) if we fail to satisfy our obligations under our outstanding debt or fail to comply with the financial or other restrictive covenants contained in the indenture governing our notes, or our senior secured credit facility, an event of default could result that would cause all of our debt to become due and payable and could permit the lenders under our senior secured credit facility to foreclose on the assets securing such debt.
The covenants relating to our notes and the FIS Credit Agreement are limited and do not prohibit us from incurring additional debt or taking other actions that could exacerbate the risks described in the preceding risk factor or otherwise negatively impact holders of our notes.
We may be able to incur substantially more debt in the future. Although the indenture governing our Notes and the agreements governing the FIS Credit Agreement and other indebtedness each contain restrictions on our incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, and under certain circumstances, indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. As of December 31, 2011, we had approximately $824.0 million of borrowing capacity available under our existing FIS Credit Agreement. To the extent new debt is added to our current levels, the risks described above could substantially increase.
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
The statements contained in this Form 10-K or in our other documents or in oral presentations or other statements made by our management that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions, or strategies regarding the future. These statements relate to, among other things, future events and our future results and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are based on management's beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. Any statements that refer to beliefs, expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances and other statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. In many cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. Actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that forward-looking statements are subject to include without limitation:
• | changes in or continued difficulties in general economic, business and political conditions, including the possibility of intensified international hostilities, acts of terrorism, and changes and conditions in either or both the United States and international lending, capital and financial markets; |
• | the effect of legislative initiatives or proposals, statutory changes, governmental or other applicable regulations and/or changes in industry requirements, including privacy regulations; |
• | the effects of our substantial leverage which may limit the funds available to make acquisitions and invest in our business; |
• | the risks of reduction in revenue from the elimination of existing and potential customers due to consolidation in or new laws or regulations affecting the banking, retail and financial services industries or due to financial failures or |
19
other setbacks suffered by firms in those industries;
• | changes in the growth rates of the markets for core processing, card issuer, and transaction processing services; |
• | failures to adapt our services and products to changes in technology or in the marketplace; internal or external security breaches of our systems, including those relating to the theft of personal information and computer viruses affecting our software or platforms, and the reactions of customers, card associations and others to any such future events; |
• | the failure to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect from acquisitions; our potential inability to find suitable acquisition candidates or finance such acquisitions, which depends upon the availability of adequate cash reserves from operations or of acceptable financing terms and the variability of our stock price, or difficulties in integrating past and future acquired technology or business' operations, services, clients and personnel; |
• | competitive pressures on product pricing and services including the ability to attract new, or retain existing, customers; |
• | an operational or natural disaster at one of our major operations centers; and |
• | other risks detailed elsewhere in this Risk Factors section and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, we do not undertake (and expressly disclaim) any obligation and do not intend to publicly update or review any of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should carefully consider the possibility that actual results may differ materially from our forward-looking statements.
Item 1B. | Unresolved Staff Comments. |
None.
Item 2. | Properties. |
FIS’ corporate headquarters is located at 601 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida in a facility leased from LPS. In addition, FIS owns or leases support centers, data processing facilities and other facilities at approximately 140 locations. We believe our facilities and equipment are generally well maintained and are in good operating condition. We believe that the computer equipment that we own and our various facilities are adequate for our present and foreseeable business needs. We maintain our own, and contract with multiple service providers to provide processing back-up in the event of a disaster.
Item 3. | Legal Proceedings. |
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various pending and threatened litigation matters related to operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. The Company believes that no actions, other than the matters listed below, depart from customary litigation incidental to its business.
Searcy, Gladys v. eFunds Corporation
This is a nationwide putative class action that was filed against our subsidiary eFunds and its affiliate Deposit Payment Protection Services, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois during the first quarter of 2008. The complaint seeks damages for an alleged willful violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) in connection with the operation of the Shared Check Authorization Network. Plaintiff's principal allegation is that consumers did not receive appropriate disclosures pursuant to §1681g of the FCRA because the disclosures did not include: (i) all information in the consumer's file at the time of the request; (ii) the source of the information in the consumer's file; and/or (iii) the names of any persons who requested information related to the consumer's check writing history during the prior year. Plaintiff filed a motion for class certification, which was granted with respect to two subclasses during the first quarter of 2010. The motion was denied with respect to all other subclasses. The Company filed a motion for reconsideration. The motion was granted and the two subclasses were decertified. The plaintiff also filed motions to amend her complaint to add two additional plaintiffs to the lawsuit. The court granted the motions. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment as to the original plaintiff and a motion for sanctions against the plaintiff and her counsel based on plaintiff's alleged false statements that were filed in support of the motion for class certification. In the third quarter of 2010, the court denied the motion for summary judgment and granted in part and denied in part the motion for sanctions. The Company filed a motion requesting the court to allow it to file an interlocutory appeal on the order denying the motion for summary judgment. The
20
court granted the motion; however, in the first quarter of 2011, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals denied the Company's petition for interlocutory appeal. Discovery regarding the new plaintiffs and other matters is ongoing.
CheckFree Corporation and CashEdge, Inc. v. Metavante Corporation and Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.
This is a patent infringement action that was filed by CheckFree Corporation and CashEdge, Inc., wholly-owned subsidiaries of Fiserv, Inc., against Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. and our subsidiary Metavante Corporation (collectively the “Defendants”) in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division on January 5, 2012. The complaint seeks damages, injunctive relief and attorneys' fees for the alleged infringement of three patents. Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants infringe the patents at issue by providing customers financial and payment solutions that process payment instructions, provide electronic biller notifications, and/or process account-to-account funds transfer transactions and have requested financial damages and injunctive relief. The Defendants are preparing to file their answer to the complaint.
Indemnifications and Warranties
The Company generally indemnifies its customers, subject to certain exceptions, against damages and costs resulting from claims of patent, copyright, or trademark infringement associated with its customers' use of the Company's products or services. Historically, the Company has not made any significant payments under such indemnifications, but continues to monitor the conditions that are subject to the indemnifications to identify whether it is probable that a loss has occurred, and would recognize any such losses when they are estimable. In addition, the Company warrants to customers that its software operates substantially in accordance with the software specifications. Historically, no significant costs have been incurred related to software warranties and no accruals for warranty costs have been made.

(a)The sales prices of our common stock for the third and fourth quarter of 2010 reflect our leveraged recapitalization resulting in the purchase of 86.2 million shares, including 6.4 million shares underlying previously unexercised stock options. As of January 31, 2012, there were approximately 19,000 shareholders of record of our common stock.
We have historically paid a $0.05 dividend on a quarterly basis. We expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends and to increase the amount to $0.20 per share per quarter beginning in 2012. The declaration and payment of future dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on, among other things, our investment policy and opportunities, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors that may be considered relevant by our Board of Directors, including legal and contractual restrictions. Additionally, the payment of cash dividends may be limited by covenants in our debt agreements. A regular quarterly dividend of $0.20 per common share is payable March 30, 2012 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 16, 2012.
21
Item 12 of Part III contains information concerning securities authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans.
On February 4, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a plan authorizing repurchases of up to 15.0 million shares of our common stock in the open market, at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions, through January 31, 2013. We repurchased 1.4 million shares of our common stock for $32.2 million at an average price of $22.97 in 2010 under this plan. We repurchased an additional 13.6 million shares of our common stock for $361.2 million at an average price of $26.56 during the year ended December 31, 2011 under this plan. No additional shares of our common stock remain available to repurchase under this plan as of December 31, 2011.
On May 25, 2010, our Board of Directors authorized a leveraged recapitalization plan to repurchase up to $2.5 billion of our common stock at a price range of $29.00 - $31.00 per share of common stock through a modified "Dutch auction" tender offer (the "Tender Offer"). The Tender Offer commenced on July 6, 2010 and expired on August 3, 2010. The Tender Offer was oversubscibed at $29.00, resulting in the purchase of 86.2 million shares, including 6.4 million shares underlying previously unexercised stock options. The repurchased shares were added to treasury stock.
On October 18, 2011, our Board of Directors approved a plan authorizing additional repurchases of up to $500.0 million of our outstanding common stock in the open market, at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions, through December 31, 2013. We repurchased 1.4 million shares of our common stock for $38.0 million at an average price of $26.51 during the year ended December 31, 2011 under this plan. Approximately $462.0 million of our common stock was available to repurchase under this plan as of December 31, 2011. During January 2012 we repurchased an additional 3.7 million shares of our common stock for $101.1 million at an average price of $27.32 per share.
On February 7, 2012 our Board of Directors approved a plan authorizing share repurchases of up to $1,000.0 million through December 31, 2015. This share repurchase authorization replaces the plan approved on October 18, 2011.
Stock Performance Graph
The performance graph below shows the cumulative total shareholder return on our common stock for the period starting on December 31, 2006, and ending on December 31, 2011. This is compared with the cumulative total returns over the same period of (1) the S&P 500 Index and (2) the S&P Supercap Data Processing & Outsourced Services Index (peer group). The graph assumes that on December 31, 2006, $100 was invested in our common stock and $100 was invested in the other two indices, with dividends reinvested on the date of payment without payment of any commissions. The performance shown in the graph represents past performance and should not be considered an indication of future performance.

Item 7. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following section discusses management’s view of the financial condition and results of operations of FIS and its consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.
This section should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes of FIS included elsewhere in this Annual Report. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these forward-looking statements that could cause future results to differ materially from those reflected in this section.
Overview
FIS is a leading global provider dedicated to banking and payments technologies. With a long history deeply rooted in the financial services sector, FIS serves more than 14,000 institutions in over 100 countries. Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, FIS employs approximately 33,000 people worldwide and holds leadership positions in payment processing and banking solutions, providing software, services and outsourcing of the technology that drives financial institutions. FIS tops the 2011 annual FinTech 100 list, is a member of the Fortune 500 U.S. and of Standard and Poor’s (S&P) 500® Index. We have four reporting segments: FSG, PSG, ISG and Corporate and Other. A description of these segments is included above in Item 1. Revenues by segment and the results of operations of our segments are discussed below in Segment Results of Operations.
Business Trends and Conditions
Our revenue is derived from a combination of recurring services, professional services and software license fees. Recurring services, which have historically represented more than 80% of our revenue, are provided under multi-year contracts that contribute relative stability to our revenue stream. However, a significant portion of these recurring revenues are derived from transaction processing fees and fluctuate with the level of deposit and card transactions associated with consumer and commercial activity. Sales of software licenses and professional services are less predictable and can be regarded as discretionary spending by our customers. We continually seek opportunities to enhance revenues and to manage our costs and capital expenditures prudently in light of any shifting revenue trends in response to broader economic conditions.
We acquired Capco in December 2010 to broaden our capabilities to provide strategic and business transformation consulting. While this will generate increased revenues, the lower profit margin realized for professional services as compared to our other solutions has resulted in profit margin compression. The addition of Capco has also reduced the relative proportion of our recurring revenue stream.
As the payment market continues to evolve from paper-based to electronic, we continue to add new services responsive to this trend. Card transactions continue to increase as a percentage of total point-of-sale payments, which fuels continuing demand for card-related services. In recent years, we have added a variety of stored-value card types, Internet banking, and electronic bill presentment/payment services, as well as a number of card enhancement and loyalty/reward programs. The common goal of these offerings continues to be convenience and security for the consumer coupled with value to the financial institution. The evolution to electronic transactions also intensifies the vulnerability to fraud, increasing the demand for our risk management solutions. At the same time, the use of checks continues to decline as a percentage of total payments, which negatively impacts our check warranty and item-processing businesses.
We compete for both licensing and outsourcing business, and thus are affected by the decisions of financial institutions to utilize our services under an outsourced arrangement or to process in-house under a software license and maintenance agreement. As a provider of outsourcing solutions, we benefit from multi-year recurring revenue streams, which help moderate the effects of year-to-year economic changes on our results of operations. One of the current trends from which we are benefiting in the financial services industry is the migration by our clients to an outsourced model to improve their profitability.
While we are cautious regarding broader economic improvement, we expect banks to continue investing in new technology and believe we are well positioned to capitalize as the overall market continues to recover. We anticipate consolidation within the banking industry to continue, including additional bank failures and increased merger and acquisition activity. As a whole, consolidation activity is detrimental to our business. Consolidation at the transaction level may be beneficial or detrimental to our business. When consolidations occur, merger partners often operate disparate systems licensed from competing service providers. The newly formed entity generally makes a determination to migrate its core and payments
26
systems to a single platform. When a financial institution processing client is involved in a consolidation, we may benefit by expanding the use of our services if such services are chosen to survive the consolidation and support the newly combined entity. Conversely, we may lose market share if we are providing services to both entities, or we are not the merging parties' provider of core or payment processing, or if a customer of ours is involved in a consolidation and our services are not chosen to survive the consolidation and support the newly combined entity. It is also possible that larger financial institutions resulting from consolidation would have greater leverage in negotiating terms or could decide to perform in-house some or all of the services which we currently provide or could provide. We seek to mitigate the risks of consolidations by offering other competitive services to take advantage of specific opportunities at the surviving company.
The Dodd-Frank Act and associated Durbin Amendment were passed and signed into law in 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act represents a comprehensive overhaul of the financial services industry within the United States, establishes the new federal Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection and will require this and other federal agencies to implement many new regulations. The Durbin Amendment, released by the Federal Reserve in June 2011, mandates a cap on debit transaction interchange fees for card issuers with assets greater than $10.0 billion. This legislated interchange fee cap has the potential to alter the type and/or volume of card-based transactions that we process on behalf of our customers. We believe we are competitively positioned to offset or take advantage of any potential shifts in payment transaction volume as we offer multiple payment solutions and options to our clients. We also believe that compliance with the network exclusivity provisions of the Durbin Amendment, which require all debit card issuers to have at least two unaffiliated networks for purposes of processing signature debit and PIN debit transactions, could positively or negatively impact transaction volumes in our NYCE PIN debit network. These new regulations could result in the need for us to make capital investments to modify our products and services to facilitate our existing customers and potential customers' compliance. Further, the requirements of the new regulations and the timing of their effective dates could result in changes in our customers' business practices that may alter their delivery of services to consumers and the timing of their investment decisions, which could change the demand for our software and services as well as alter the type or volume of transactions that we process on behalf of our customers.
Notwithstanding challenging global economic conditions, our international business continued to experience growth across all major regions during the year ended December 31, 2011, including Europe. The majority of our European revenue is generated by clients in Germany, France and the United Kingdom. Those countries encountering the most significant economic challenges, including Spain, Italy, Greece, Ireland and Portugal, account for less than 1% of our international revenue base.
Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting policies described below are those we consider critical in preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements. These policies require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures with respect to contingent liabilities and assets at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed description of the significant accounting policies that have been followed in preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenues from the delivery of bank processing, credit and debit card processing services, other payment processing services, professional services, software licensing and software related services and products. Revenues are recognized when evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, fees are fixed or determinable and collection is considered probable. We are frequently a party to multiple concurrent contracts with the same customer. These situations require judgment to determine whether the individual contracts should be aggregated or evaluated separately for purposes of revenue recognition. In making this determination, we consider the timing of negotiating and executing the contracts, whether the different elements of the contracts are interdependent and whether any of the payment terms of the contracts are interrelated. Due to the large number, broad nature and average size of individual contracts we are party to, the impact of judgments and assumptions that we apply in recognizing revenue for any single contract is not likely to have a material effect on our consolidated operations or financial position. However, the broader accounting policy assumptions that we apply across similar arrangements or classes of customers could significantly influence the timing and amount of revenue recognized in our historical and future results of operations or financial position. Additional information about our revenue recognition policies is included in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company analyzes trade accounts receivable by considering historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends, changes in customer payment terms and collection trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for
27
doubtful accounts. Any change in the assumptions used may result in an additional allowance for doubtful accounts being recognized in the period in which the change occurs. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $33.1 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Reserves for Check Guarantee Losses
In our check guarantee business, if a guaranteed check presented to a merchant customer is dishonored by the check writer’s bank, we reimburse our merchant customer for the check’s face value and pursue collection of the amount from the delinquent check writer. Loss reserves and anticipated recoveries are primarily determined by performing a historical analysis of our check loss and recovery experience and considering other factors that could affect that experience in the future. Such factors include the general economy, the overall industry mix of our customer volumes, statistical analysis of check fraud trends within our customer volumes, and the quality of returned checks. Once these factors are considered, we establish a rate for check losses that is calculated by dividing the expected check losses by dollar volume processed and a rate for anticipated recoveries that is calculated by dividing the anticipated recoveries by the total amount of related check losses. These rates are then applied against the dollar volume processed and check losses, respectively, each month and charged to costs of revenues. The estimated check returns and recovery amounts are subject to risk that actual amounts returned and recovered may be different than our estimates.
Historically, such estimation processes have proved to be materially accurate; however, our projections of probable check guarantee losses and anticipated recoveries are inherently uncertain and as a result, we cannot predict with certainty the amount of such items. Changes in economic conditions, the risk characteristics and composition of our customers, and other factors could impact our actual and projected amounts. We recorded check guarantee losses, net of anticipated recoveries excluding service fees, of $68.0 million and $69.4 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. A ten percent difference in our estimated check guarantee loss reserve net of estimated recoveries as of December 31, 2011 would have impacted 2011 net earnings by less than $2.0 million, after-tax.
Computer Software
Computer software includes the fair value of software acquired in business combinations, purchased software and capitalized software development costs. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, computer software, net of accumulated amortization, was $881.5 million and $909.0 million, respectively. Purchased software is recorded at cost and amortized using the straight line method over its estimated useful life and software acquired in business combinations is recorded at its fair value and amortized using straight line and accelerated methods over its estimated useful life.
The capitalization of software development costs is governed by FASB ASC Subtopic 985-20 if the software is to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed, or by FASB ASC Subtopic 350-40 if the software is for internal use. After the technological feasibility of the software has been established (for software to be marketed), or at the beginning of application development (for internal-use software), software development costs, which include salaries and related payroll costs and costs of independent contractors incurred during development, are capitalized. Research and development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility (for software to be marketed), or prior to application development (for internal-use software), are expensed as incurred. Software development costs are amortized on a product by product basis commencing on the date of general release of the products (for software to be marketed) or the date placed in service (for internal-use software). Software development costs for software to be marketed are amortized using the greater of (1) the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, which ranges from three to ten years, or (2) the ratio of current revenues to total anticipated revenue over its useful life.
In determining useful lives, management considers historical results and technological trends which may influence the estimate. Useful lives for all computer software range from three to 10 years. Amortization expense for computer software was $209.4 million, $195.1 million and $149.8 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Included in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings was amortization expense on computer software of $0.0 million, $3.3 million and $0.7 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We also assess the recorded value of computer software for impairment on a regular basis by comparing the carrying value to the estimated future cash flows to be generated by the underlying software asset. There are inherent uncertainties in determining the expected useful life or cash flows to be generated from computer software. While we have not historically experienced significant changes in these estimates we could be subject to such changes in the future.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
We are required to allocate the purchase price of acquired businesses to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the
28
transaction at their estimated fair values. The estimates used to determine the fair value of long-lived assets, such as intangible assets, are complex and require a significant amount of management judgment. We generally engage independent valuation specialists to assist us in making fair value determinations. We are also required to estimate the useful lives of intangible assets to determine the amount of acquisition-related intangible asset amortization expense to record in future periods. We periodically review the estimated useful lives assigned to our definite-lived intangible assets to determine whether such estimated useful lives continue to be appropriate. Additionally we review our indefinite-lived intangible assets to determine if there is any change in circumstances that may indicate the asset’s useful life is no longer indefinite.
We review the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Prior to 2011, the authoritative guidance required us to perform a two-step impairment test on goodwill. First, we compared the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. We determine the fair value of our reporting units based on a weighted average of multiple valuation techniques, principally a combination of an income approach and a market approach. The income approach calculates a value based upon the present value of estimated future cash flows, while the market approach utilizes earnings multiples of similarly situated guideline public companies. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets, goodwill is not impaired and further testing is not required. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we would perform the second step of the impairment test to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill and any impairment charge.
In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company early adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08 ("ASU 2011-08"), Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The revised standard allows an entity first to assess qualitatively whether it is necessary to perform the step-one quantitative test ("step zero"). An entity is required to perform step one only if the entity concludes that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent). ASU 2011-08 provided examples of events and circumstances that should be considered in performing the step zero qualitative assessment, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, events affecting a reporting unit or the entity as a whole and a sustained decrease in share price. There was a substantial excess of fair value over carrying value for each of our reporting units in the 2010 step one analysis. In performing the 2011 step zero qualitative analysis, examining those factors most likely to affect our valuations, we concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each of our reporting units continues to exceed their carrying amounts. Consequently, we did not perform a step one analysis in 2011.
We also estimate the fair value of acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives and compare this amount to the underlying carrying value annually. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we recorded an impairment charge of $9.1 million related to the Capco trademark in North America. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the portion of the unamortized contract intangible asset recorded at the initiation of the Brazilian Venture that was attributable to Banco Santander was deemed impaired due to the exit of Banco Santander. Accordingly, we recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $140.3 million in the third quarter of 2010. Additionally, in 2010 we recorded a $5.2 million impairment of intangible assets related to the discontinued operations of Participacoes, as discussed in Notes 6 and 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For the year ended December 31, 2009, our analysis of indefinite-lived intangible assets indicated an impairment of certain trademarks which were discontinued as a result of the Company’s rebranding campaign initiated on October 1, 2009, following the acquisition of Metavante. Accordingly, we recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $124.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit or acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives involves judgment and the use of significant estimates and assumptions, which include assumptions regarding the revenue growth rates and operating margins used to calculate estimated future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates and future economic and market conditions and other assumptions.
Accounting for Income Taxes
As part of the process of preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, we are required to determine income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating actual current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing recognition of items for income tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We must then assess the likelihood that deferred income tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we must reflect this increase as an expense within income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Determination of the income tax expense requires estimates and can involve complex issues that may require an extended period to resolve. Further, changes in the geographic mix of revenues or in the estimated level of annual
29
pre-tax income can cause the overall effective income tax rate to vary from period to period. We believe that our tax positions comply with applicable tax law and that we adequately provide for any known tax contingencies. We believe the estimates and assumptions used to support our evaluation of tax benefit realization are reasonable. However, final determination of prior-year tax liabilities, either by settlement with tax authorities or expiration of statutes of limitations, could be materially different than estimates reflected in assets and liabilities and historical income tax provisions. The outcome of these final determinations could have a material effect on our income tax provision, net income or cash flows in the period that determination is made.
Related Party Transactions
We are a party to certain historical related party agreements with FNF and other related parties (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report).
Factors Affecting Comparability
Our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report that present our financial condition and operating results reflect the following significant transactions:
• | In December 2010, we acquired Capco and have included the results of operations and financial position of Capco in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. |
• | In August 2010, we completed a leveraged recapitalization. Through a modified "Dutch Auction" tender offer, we repurchased 86.2 million shares of our common stock, including 6.4 million shares underlying previously unexercised stock options. The repurchased shares were added to treasury stock. The recapitalization was funded by incremental debt, as outlined under "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Financing." |
• | On October 1, 2009, we acquired Metavante in a tax-free reorganization. Each outstanding share of Metavante common stock was converted into 1.35 shares, or approximately 163.6 million total shares, of FIS common stock. Outstanding Metavante stock options and other stock-based awards were converted into FIS stock options and stock-based awards using the same exchange ratio. The results of operations and financial position of Metavante are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. |
As a result of the above transactions, the results of operations and earnings per share in the periods covered by the Consolidated Financial Statements may not be directly comparable.

Processing and Services Revenues
Processing and services revenues totaled $5,745.7 million, $5,269.5 million and $3,711.1 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in revenue during 2011 of $476.2 million, or 9.0%, as compared to 2010 is primarily attributable to incremental revenues of $304.7 million from 2010 acquisitions, increased demand for professional services and increased processing revenues. Total revenue growth in these areas was tempered by lower item processing and retail check activity and the change in reporting certain merchant interchange fees from gross to net revenue recognition, as discussed in greater detail under Segment Results of Operations. The 2011 period also included $47.4 million of favorable foreign currency impact resulting from a weaker U.S. Dollar during the 2011 period. The 2010 period was also favorably impacted by the recognition of an $83.3 million termination fee in connection with Banco Santander’s exit from the Brazilian Venture. The increase in revenue during 2010 of $1,558.4 million, or 42.0%, as compared to 2009 is primarily attributable to incremental revenues from the Metavante Acquisition and to a lesser extent the recognition of the $83.3 million termination fee mentioned above, revenue
31
from 2010 acquisitions of $23.4 million and a favorable foreign currency impact of $26.4 million resulting from a weaker U.S. Dollar.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit
Cost of revenues totaled $3,998.0 million, $3,637.7 million and $2,741.5 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, resulting in gross profit of $1,747.7 million, $1,631.8 million and $969.6 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues (“gross margin”) was 30.4%, 31.0% and 26.1% in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in cost of revenues of $360.3 million in the 2011 period as compared to the 2010 period is directly attributable to the revenue variances addressed above. The termination fee received in connection with Banco Santander's exit from the Brazilian Venture favorably augmented gross margins for the 2010 periods, contributing to a decrease in gross margin of 60 basis points during the 2011 period by comparison. Further, while Capco has provided revenue growth in 2011, the lower margin contribution has unfavorably impacted gross margin. The increase in cost of revenues of $896.2 million in the 2010 period as compared to the 2009 period is directly attributable to the revenue variances addressed above. The increase in gross margin of 490 basis points for 2010 over 2009 was driven by the cost synergy initiatives associated with the Metavante Acquisition as well as by the termination fee received in connection with Banco Santander's exit from the Brazilian Venture.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $671.8 million, $675.8 million and $547.1 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease of $4.0 million in 2011 as compared to 2010 was primarily due to higher expenses included in the 2010 period in connection with our leveraged recapitalization, partially offset by incremental operating costs in 2011 resulting from 2010 acquisitions, as well as the $22.3 million reduction in contingent consideration liability for Capco addressed in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Conversely, the 2010 period expenses were reduced by a $10.1 million recovery in September 2010 of legal costs previously incurred as the result of a favorable court ruling. Additionally, the 2011 period included a $13.0 million loss related to unauthorized activities on the Sunrise prepaid card platform (see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The increase of $128.7 million in 2010 as compared to 2009 was primarily due to incremental costs associated with the Metavante operations and our leveraged recapitalization, partially offset by the $10.1 million recovery in the 2010 third quarter of previously incurred legal costs mentioned above and by lower integration and merger-related charges and stock-based compensation.
Impairment Charges
Impairment charges totaled $9.1 million, $154.9 million and $136.9 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The 2011 charges relate to a reduction in the carrying value of the Capco trademark in North America. The 2010 charges relate to impairments resulting from the exit of Banco Santander from the Brazilian Venture, including $140.3 million representing the portion of the unamortized contract intangible asset recorded at the initiation of the Brazilian Venture that was attributable to Banco Santander, and the net unamortized balance of $14.6 million for certain capitalized software development costs incurred exclusively for use in processing Banco Santander card activity. The 2009 charges relate primarily to the introduction of a new brand identity in conjunction with the Metavante merger, giving rise to the impairment of a number of previously acquired trademarks. The 2009 period also included charges related to impairment of certain capitalized software assets totaling approximately $12.9 million.
Operating Income
Operating income totaled $1,066.8 million, $801.1 million and $285.6 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Operating income as a percentage of revenue (“operating margin”) was 18.6%, 15.2% and 7.7% for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in operating income and margins for the 2011 period as compared to the 2010 period was driven by the revenue and cost variances addressed above. The increase in operating margin for 2010 as compared to the 2009 period was driven by synergies, cost containment initiatives, gross margin improvements and lower stock compensation charges, partially offset by higher integration and merger-related charges incurred during the 2010 period.
Total Other Income (Expense)
Total other income (expense) totaled $(322.5) million, $(184.8) million and $(121.9) million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The primary component of total other income (expense) is interest expense. The increases of $85.1 million in interest expense in 2011 as compared to 2010 and of $45.7 million in 2010 as compared to 2009 resulted from higher overall debt levels as a result of our recapitalization in mid 2010 and higher interest rates on our debt. Apart from interest expense,
32
the 2011 period includes $14.1 million of debt refinancing expenses, $24.7 million in write-off of certain previously capitalized debt issuance costs and $34.0 million of other than temporary impairment of available-for-sale securities acquired in conjunction with the acquisition of Metavante. The 2010 period includes $13.7 million of debt extinguishment expenses, the write-off of certain previously capitalized debt issuance costs and fees and other expenses relating to our leveraged recapitalization. The 2010 period also includes the forgiveness of $19.4 million of notes payable representing additional consideration which was to be paid to the banks in the Brazilian Venture upon migration of their card portfolios and an extinguishment gain of $5.7 million from the restructuring of the remaining Banco Bradesco notes in conjunction with other revisions to the Brazilian Venture agreements (see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax expense from continuing operations totaled $239.0 million, $215.3 million and $54.7 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. This resulted in an effective tax rate on continuing operations of 32.1%, 34.9% and 33.4% for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The net decrease in the overall effective tax rate for the 2011 period is primarily related to a larger proportion of foreign-source pre-tax income versus domestic income during the 2011 period and state income tax planning. Additionally, the 2011 period included a one-time benefit for the favorable resolution of tax contingencies in international jurisdictions, implementation of federal tax planning strategies and a non-recurring benefit related to our United Kingdom operations. The increase in the 2010 period overall effective tax rate as compared to the 2009 period is primarily related to a larger proportion of domestic pre-tax income versus foreign-source income due primarily to the Metavante Acquisition, partially offset by the utilization of foreign tax credits.
Earnings (Loss) from Discontinued Operations
During the 2011, 2010 and 2009 periods, certain operations are classified as discontinued. Reporting for discontinued operations classifies revenues and expenses as one line item, net of tax, in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. During the third quarter of 2010, we determined that we would pursue strategic alternatives for Fidelity National Participacoes Ltda. ("Participacoes"). In January 2010, we closed on the sale of ClearPar. In October 2008, we sold Certegy Australia, Ltd. The table below outlines the components of discontinued operations for the 2011, 2010 and 2009 periods, net of tax. See also Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Participacoes had revenues of $11.7 million, $61.5 million and $58.4 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Participacoes had operating expenses of $48.3 million, $125.0 million and $66.1 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Participacoes' processing volume was transitioned to other vendors or back to its customers during the second quarter of 2011. The 2011 and 2010 periods include charges of $34.6 million and $26.7 million, respectively to increase our accrual for potential labor claims related to the shut-down activities. We expect to have continued exposure to labor claims, which were not transferred with other assets and liabilities in the disposal. Any changes in the estimated liability related to these labor claims will also be recorded as discontinued operations.
Net (Earnings) Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest
Net (earnings) loss attributable to noncontrolling interest totaled $(11.5) million, $46.6 million and $(2.6) million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The 2010 year included after tax charges totaling $50.1 million relating to the minority partner's proportionate share of the write-off of capitalized software development costs and of the impairment to the unamortized contract intangible asset resulting from the exit of Banco Santander from the Brazilian Venture. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Earnings from Continuing Operations, Net of Tax, Attributable to FIS Common Stockholders
Earnings from continuing operations, net of tax, attributable to FIS common stockholders totaled $493.8 million, $447.6
33
million and $106.4 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, or $1.61, $1.27 and $0.44 per diluted share, respectively, due to the factors described above.

Revenues for FSG totaled $2,076.8 million, $1,890.8 million and $1,260.0 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The overall segment increases of $186.0 million, or 9.8%, for 2011 as compared to 2010 were driven by incremental Capco revenues, as well as increased processing revenues and growth in professional services. The overall segment increase of $630.8 million for 2010 as compared to 2009 resulted primarily from incremental Metavante revenues and to a lesser extent increased demand for professional services and software licenses.
Operating income for FSG totaled $680.3 million, $673.4 million and $421.1 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Operating margin was approximately 32.8%, 35.6% and 33.4% for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in operating income during 2011 as compared to 2010 primarily resulted from increased processing revenues and growth in professional services, partially offset by $12.4 million in merger, integration and severance costs. The decrease in operating margin during 2011 as compared to 2010 was due to a higher proportion of professional services revenue during 2011, including Capco consulting services revenue, which has a lower margin than other revenue sources, particularly in relation to the higher license revenues in 2010. The increase in operating income in 2010 as compared to 2009 primarily resulted from incremental Metavante operating income and the increase in operating margin is due to continuing results from the synergy initiatives associated with the Metavante Acquisition.

Revenues for PSG totaled $2,492.2 million, $2,478.1 million and $1,741.9 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The 2011 period included growth in print and mail and card personalization and electronic payment services, offset by lower item processing and retail check activity. Additionally, consolidation of our merchant processing platforms resulted in the utilization of the net method to account for certain merchant interchange fees, causing a $34.4 million unfavorable revenue variance during the 2011 period. The overall segment increase of $736.2 million in 2010 as compared to 2009 resulted primarily from incremental Metavante revenues. Additionally, growth in electronic payment solutions was offset by lower item processing and retail check activity.
Operating income for PSG totaled $853.5 million, $835.0 million and $475.6 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Operating margin was approximately 34.2%, 33.7% and 27.3% for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The 2011 period included $13.6 million of integration and severance costs, which reduced operating margins by approximately 60 basis points for 2011. Integration costs for the 2010 periods were included in the Corporate and Other Segment. The increase in operating income and operating margin in the 2010 period as compared to the 2009 period primarily resulted from incremental Metavante operating income and realized cost savings.

Revenues for ISG totaled $1,177.6 million, $917.0 million and $724.3 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The overall segment increases of $260.6 million for 2011 as compared to 2010 resulted primarily from incremental revenues from Capco's European business and increased credit card volumes in Brazil, growth in the India ATM management business, growth in Australia core banking revenues and license revenues from strategic customer relationships in EMEA. The 2011 period also included $47.4 million of favorable foreign currency impact resulting from a weaker U.S. Dollar during the 2011 period. The overall segment increase of $192.7 million in 2010 as compared to 2009 resulted from growth driven by increased payment volumes in Brazil, growth in professional services, higher license revenue and incremental revenues from the Metavante Acquisition. The 2010 period also included an $83.3 million termination fee received as a result of Banco Santander's exit from the Brazilian Venture and a $26.4 million favorable foreign currency impact resulting from a weaker U.S. Dollar during 2010.
Operating income for ISG totaled $187.6 million, $71.1 million and $121.9 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Operating margin was 15.9%, 7.8% and 16.8% for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The 2010 period included pre-tax impairment charges of $154.9 million attributable to Banco Santander's exit from the Brazilian Venture. Excluding the impact of Banco Santander's exit, operating income and margin would have been $142.7 million or 15.6% for the 2010 period. The increases in operating income in 2011 as compared to 2010 primarily resulted from the revenue growth noted above. While Capco has provided revenue growth, the lower margin contribution from Capco has unfavorably impacted ISG's overall margin. The decrease in operating income and margin in 2010 as compared to 2009 resulted from the impairment charges of $154.9 million attributable to Banco Santander's exit from the Brazilian Venture previously addressed above under total Company Impairment Charges, partially offset by the $83.3 million termination fee received as a result of Banco Santander's exit from the Brazilian Venture.
Corporate and Other
The Corporate and Other segment results consist of selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and intangible asset amortization not otherwise allocated to the reportable segments. Corporate and Other expenses were $654.6 million, $778.4 million and $733.0 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The overall Corporate and Other decrease of $123.8 million for 2011 as compared to 2010 is primarily due to restructuring and integration costs included in the 2010 period associated with merger and acquisition activity and expenses in connection with the leveraged recapitalization, partially offset by the recovery in 2010 of legal costs previously incurred as the result of a favorable court ruling, as addressed above under total Company Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The 2011 period included the $13.0 million loss related to unauthorized activities on the Sunrise prepaid card platform noted under Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in the Consolidated Results of Operations section above, $9.5 million in merger, integration and service costs, and a $13.2 million net benefit from adjustments from the Capco acquisition. The latter was comprised of a reduction in the contingent consideration liability of $22.3 million, partially offset by a $9.1 million impairment of the North American trademark. The overall Corporate and Other increase of $45.4 million for 2010 as compared to 2009 is primarily due to the incremental costs associated with the Metavante operations and merger related charges, partially offset by the recovery of previously incurred legal costs as the result of a favorable court ruling, as addressed above under total Company Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Requirements
Our cash requirements include operating expenses, income taxes, mandatory debt service payments, capital expenditures, stockholder dividends, working capital, timing differences in settlement-related assets and liabilities, and may include discretionary debt service, share repurchases, and business acquisitions. Our principal sources of funds are cash generated by operations and borrowings. In 2012, our cash requirements also include the payment for accrued but unpaid reset payments associated with an interest rate swap assumed in connection with the Metavante Acquisition (see Note 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) as well as the $36.5 million current liability due to the Brazilian venture partner (see Note 6
35
in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Also, our continuing cash requirements will include payments for labor claims related to FIS' former item processing and remittance operations in Brazil (see Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
As of December 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $415.5 million and debt of $4,809.8 million, including the current portion. Of the $415.5 million cash and cash equivalents, approximately $246.3 million is held by our foreign entities. We expect that cash flows from operations over the next twelve months will be sufficient to fund our operating cash requirements and pay principal and interest on our outstanding debt.
We have historically paid a $0.05 per common share dividend on a quarterly basis. We expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends and to increase the amount to $0.20 per share per quarter beginning in 2012. The declaration and payment of future dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and depends on, among other things, our investment policy and opportunities, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors that may be considered relevant by our Board of Directors, including legal and contractual restrictions. Additionally, the payment of cash dividends may be limited by covenants in certain debt agreements. A regular quarterly dividend of $0.05 per common share was paid on December 30, 2011 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 16, 2011. A regular quarterly dividend of $0.20 per common share is payable on March 30, 2012, to shareholders of record as of the close of business March 16, 2012.
Cash Flows from Operations
Cash flows from operations were $1,171.5 million, $1,071.3 million and $714.1 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009 respectively. Cash flows from operations increased $100.2 million in 2011 and $357.2 million in 2010 primarily due to higher earnings from operations.
Capital Expenditures
Our principal capital expenditures are for computer software (purchased and internally developed) and additions to property and equipment. We invested approximately $300.3 million, $314.0 million and $212.5 million on capital expenditures during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We expect to invest approximately 5-6% of 2012 revenue in capital expenditures, including incremental capital expenditures for information security initiatives. See "Business - Information Security."
Financing
On December 19, 2011, FIS amended, restated and supplemented our syndicated credit agreement, which was originally issued on January 18, 2007, amended on July 30, 2007, amended and restated on June 29, 2010, and supplemented July 16, 2010 (as amended and supplemented through December 19, 2011, the “FIS Credit Agreement”). The FIS Credit Agreement, as of December 31, 2011, provides total committed capital of $4,338.6 million comprised of: (1) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate maximum principal amount of $1,000.0 million maturing on July 18, 2014 ( the “Revolving Loan”); and (2) an aggregate of $3,338.6 million of term notes consisting of $2,088.6 million maturing on July 18, 2014 (“Term Loan A-2”), and $1,250.0 million maturing on July 18, 2016 ("New Term Loan B"). As of December 31, 2011, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan was $175.0 million, with $824.0 million of borrowing capacity remaining thereunder (net of $1.0 million in outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Loan).
On January 30, 2012, FIS entered into a joinder agreement under which FIS accepted $50.0 million of additional revolving loan commitments increasing the maximum principal amount of the Revolving Loan to $1,050.0 million.
FIS may borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts under the Revolving Loan from time to time until the applicable maturity date. FIS must make quarterly principal payments under the Term Loan A-2 of $60.1 million per quarter from March 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and $90.1 million per quarter from March 31, 2013 through March 31, 2014, with the remaining principal balance payable on July 18, 2014. As of December 31, 2011, FIS had made principal prepayments under the Term Loan A-2 of $4.4 million, reducing the payment obligation scheduled for March 31, 2012 by the same amount. FIS must make quarterly principal payments under the New Term Loan B of $3.1 million per quarter from March 31, 2012 through June 30, 2016, with the remaining principal balance payable on July 18, 2016. Voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans is generally permitted at any time without fee upon proper notice and subject to a minimum dollar requirement. The Revolving Loan has no scheduled principal payments, but will be due and payable in full on its applicable maturity date. Commitment reductions of the Revolving Loan are also permitted at any time without fee upon proper notice. In addition to scheduled principal payments, the Term Loans are (with certain exceptions) subject to mandatory prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events.
36
The FIS Credit Agreement contains provisions permitting us to obtain additional term and/or revolving loans in the future, conditioned upon our ability to obtain additional commitments from lenders to fund those loans, in a principal amount of up to $750.0 million. The FIS Credit Agreement remains subject to customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants including, among other things, limits on the creation of liens, limits on incurring indebtedness, restrictions on investments and dispositions, limitations on dividends and other restricted payments, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. Upon an event of default under the FIS Credit Agreement, the administrative agent can accelerate the maturity of all amounts borrowed. Events of default include the failure to pay principal and interest in a timely manner and breach of certain covenants.
On July 16, 2010, FIS completed offerings of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes” and together with the 2017 Notes, the “Notes”). FIS issued the Notes in two separate series under an indenture dated as of July 16, 2010 among FIS, FIS' domestic subsidiaries that guaranteed its amended credit facility (the “Guarantors”) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The Notes were offered and sold in the United States to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. We have since completed an exchange offer under which we exchanged identical notes that were SEC registered for the Notes.
On December 19, 2011, FIS entered into a supplemental indenture whereby FIS issued an additional $150.0 million of our 7.625% Senior Notes due July 16, 2017 (the "Additional 2017 Notes") that have the same terms as the existing 2017 Notes. The Additional 2017 Notes were offered and sold in the United States to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Additional 2017 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold without registration unless pursuant to an exemption from, or in, a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable state laws. References to the Notes and 2017 Notes hereinafter include the Additional 2017 Notes.
Interest on the 2017 Notes accrues at the rate of 7.625% per annum and interest on the 2020 Notes accrues at the rate of 7.875% per annum. Interest on each series of Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Guarantors.
The following table summarizes the mandatory annual principal payments pursuant to the FIS Credit Agreement and the Notes as of December 31, 2011 (in millions). There are no mandatory principal payments on the Revolving Loan and any balance outstanding on the Revolving Loan will be due and payable at its scheduled maturity date:

We monitor the financial stability of our counterparties on an ongoing basis. The lender commitments under the undrawn portions of the Revolving Loan are comprised of a diversified set of financial institutions, both domestic and international. The combined commitments of our top 10 revolving lenders comprise about 72% of our Revolving Loan. The failure of any single lender to perform their obligations under the Revolving Loan would not adversely impact our ability to fund operations. If the single largest lender were to default under the terms of the FIS Credit Agreement (impacting the capacity of the Revolving Loan), the maximum loss of available capacity on the undrawn portion of the Revolving Loan, as of December 31, 2011, would be approximately $105.7 million.
As of December 31, 2011, we have entered into interest rate swap transactions converting a portion of the interest rate exposure on our Term Loans from variable to fixed (see Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks).
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company entered into capital lease obligations of $31.4 million for certain
37
computer hardware and software. The assets are included in property and equipment and computer software and any remaining capital lease obligation is classified as long-term debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2011.
Private Placement Investment
On October 1, 2009, pursuant to an investment agreement with Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (“THL”) and FNF dated as of March 31, 2009, FIS issued and sold (a) to THL in a private placement 12.9 million shares of FIS common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $200.0 million and (b) to FNF in a private placement 3.2 million shares of FIS common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $50.0 million. FIS paid each of THL and FNF a transaction fee equal to 3% of their respective investments.
Contractual Obligations
FIS’ long-term contractual obligations generally include its long-term debt, interest on long-term debt, lease payments on certain of its property and equipment and payments for data processing and maintenance. The following table summarizes FIS’ significant contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2011 (in millions):

(2) | Amount includes the payment for accrued but unpaid reset payments associated with an interest rate swap assumed in connection with the Metavante acquisition (see Note 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), amounts due to the Brazilian venture partner and payments for labor claims related to FIS' former item processing and remittance operations in Brazil (see Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). |
FIS believes that its existing cash balances, cash flows from operations and borrowing programs will provide adequate sources of liquidity and capital resources to meet FIS’ expected short-term liquidity needs and its long-term needs for the operations of its business, expected capital spending for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future and the satisfaction of these obligations and commitments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
FIS does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks |
Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks primarily from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We use certain derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward exchange contracts, to manage interest rate and foreign currency risk. We do not use derivatives for trading purposes, to generate income or to engage in speculative activity.
Interest Rate Risk
In addition to existing cash balances and cash provided by operating activities, we use fixed rate and variable rate debt to finance our operations. We are exposed to interest rate risk on these debt obligations and related interest rate swaps.
38
The Notes represent substantially all of our fixed-rate long-term debt obligations. The carrying value of the Notes was $1,250.0 million as of December 31, 2011. The fair value of the Notes was approximately $1,362.5 million as of December 31, 2011. The potential reduction in fair value of the Notes from a hypothetical 10 percent increase in market interest rates would not be material to the overall fair value of the debt. We currently have no plans to repurchase the Notes before their maturity and, therefore, fluctuations in market interest rates would not have an effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Our floating rate long-term debt obligations principally relate to borrowings under the FIS Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2011, we are paying interest on our Term Loan A-2 of LIBOR plus 2.25%, and on our Term Loan B at LIBOR plus 3.25% (with LIBOR subject to a 1.00% floor). Interest on the Revolving Loan is generally payable at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of up to 2.50% and is subject to an unused commitment fee of up to 0.50%, each based upon the Company's leverage ratio. An increase of 100 basis points in the LIBOR rate would increase our annual debt service under the FIS Credit Agreement, after we include the impact of our interest rate swaps, by $12.9 million (based on principal amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2011). We performed the foregoing sensitivity analysis based on the principal amount of our floating rate debt as of December 31, 2011, less the principal amount of such debt that was then subject to an interest rate swap converting such debt into fixed rate debt. This sensitivity analysis is based solely on the principal amount of such debt as of December 31, 2011, and does not take into account any changes that occurred in the prior 12 months or that may take place in the next 12 months in the amount of our outstanding debt or in the notional amount of outstanding interest rate swaps in respect of our debt. Further, in this sensitivity analysis, the change in interest rates is assumed to be applicable for an entire year. For comparison purposes, based on principal amounts on the Revolving Loan and Term Loans A-1 and A-2 and Old Term Loan B outstanding as of December 31, 2010, and calculated in the same manner as set forth above, an increase of 100 basis points in the LIBOR rate would have increased our annual interest expense, after we calculate the impact of our interest rate swaps, by $3.4 million.
We use interest rate swaps for the purpose of managing our interest expense through the mix of fixed rate and floating rate debt. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the notional amount of our outstanding interest rate swaps decreased by $1,100.0 million. As of December 31, 2011, we have entered into the following interest rate swap transactions converting a portion of the interest rate exposure on our Term and Revolving Loan from variable to fixed (in millions):
Effective date | Termination date | Notional amount | Bank pays variable rate of | FIS pays fixed rate of | ||||||||

(2) | 0.30% in effect as of December 31, 2011. |
(3) | Does not include the applicable margin and facility fees paid to bank lenders on Term Loan A-2 and Revolving Loan as described above. |
We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. A portion of the amount included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings is reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment as interest payments are made on the Term and Revolving Loans. In accordance with the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements, the inputs used to determine the estimated fair value of our interest rate swaps are Level 2-type measurements. We considered our own credit risk and the credit risk of the counterparties when determining the fair value of our interest rate swaps.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include the translation of local currency balances of foreign subsidiaries, transaction gains and losses associated with intercompany loans with foreign
39
subsidiaries and transactions denominated in currencies other than a location's functional currency. Our objective is to minimize our exposure to these risks through a combination of normal operating activities and the use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts. Contracts are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries.
Our exposure to foreign currency exchange risks generally arises from our non-U.S. operations, to the extent they are conducted in local currency. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates affect translations of revenues denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Our international operations generated approximately $1,177.6 million in revenues during the year ended December 31, 2011 of which approximately $1,005.8 million was denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The major currencies to which we are exposed are the Brazilian Real, the Euro and the British Pound Sterling. A 10% move in average exchange rates for these currencies (assuming a simultaneous and immediate 10% change in all of such rates for the relevant period) would have resulted in the following increase or decrease in our reported revenues for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (in millions):
Currency | 2011 | 2010 | 2009 | |||||||||
Real | $ | 42.4 | $ | 32.5 | $ | 28.2 | ||||||
Euro | 26.4 | 18.6 | 19.1 | |||||||||
Pound Sterling | 17.6 | 9.0 | 6.4 | |||||||||
Total impact | $ | 86.4 | $ | 60.1 | $ | 53.7 | ||||||
The impact on earnings of the foregoing assumed 10% change in each of the periods presented would not have been significant.
Revenue included $47.4 million and operating income included $8.2 million of favorable foreign currency impact during the year ended December 31, 2011 resulting from a weaker U.S. Dollar during the 2011 period compared to 2010.
Our foreign exchange risk management policy permits the use of derivative instruments, such as forward contracts and options, to reduce volatility in our results of operations and/or cash flows resulting from foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Our international operations' revenues and expenses are generally denominated in local currency, which limits the economic exposure to foreign exchange risk in those jurisdictions. We do not enter into foreign currency derivative instruments for trading purposes. We entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure to intercompany loans. As of December 31, 2011, the notional amount of these derivatives was approximately $59.4 million and the fair value was nominal. These derivatives are intended to hedge the foreign exchange risks related to intercompany loans but have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.:
We have audited Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.’s and subsidiaries’ (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, equity and comprehensive earnings, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, and our report dated February 24, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires all references to “FIS,” “we,” the “Company” or the “registrant” are to Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., a Georgia corporation formerly known as Certegy Inc., which was the surviving legal entity in the Certegy Merger; all references to "Metavante" are to Metavante Technologies, Inc., and its subsidiaries, as acquired by FIS on October 1, 2009; all references to “eFunds” are to eFunds Corporation, and its subsidiaries, as acquired by FIS on September 12, 2007; all references to "Capco" are to The Capital Markets Company NV, as acquired by FIS on December 2, 2010; all references to “Old FNF” are to Fidelity National Financial, Inc., which owned a majority of the Company’s shares through November 9, 2006; all references to “FNF” are to Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (formerly known as Fidelity National Title Group, Inc. (“FNT”)), formerly a subsidiary of Old FNF but now an independent company that remains a related entity from an accounting perspective; and all references to “LPS” are to Lender Processing Services, Inc., a former wholly-owned subsidiary of FIS which was spun-off as a separate publicly traded company on July 2, 2008.
(1) Basis of Presentation
FIS is a leading global provider dedicated to banking and payments technologies. We offer financial institution core processing, card issuer and transaction processing services, including the NYCE Network, a leading national electronic funds transfer (EFT) network. Our business operations and organizational structure result from the February 1, 2006, business combination of FIS and Certegy (the "Certegy Merger"). FIS was viewed as the acquirer for accounting purposes, and our financial statements and other disclosures for periods prior to the Certegy Merger treat FIS as our predecessor company. Immediately after the Certegy Merger, the name of the SEC registrant was changed to Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.
We report the results of our operations in four reporting segments: 1) Financial Solutions Group (“FSG”), 2) Payment Solutions Group (“PSG”), 3) International Solutions Group (“ISG”) and 4) Corporate and Other (Note 19).
(2)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following describes the significant accounting policies of the Company used in preparing the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
(a)Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of FIS, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries that are majority owned. All significant intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
(b)Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all cash on hand, money market funds and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. As part of the Company’s payment processing business, the Company provides cash settlement services to financial institutions and state and local governments. These services involve the movement of funds between the various parties associated with ATM, point-of-sale or electronic benefit transactions (EBT) and this activity results in a balance due to the Company at the end of each business day that it recoups over the next few business days. The in-transit balances due to the Company are included in cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these instruments approximate their fair value. As of December 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $415.5 million of which approximately $246.3 million is held by our foreign entities.
(c)Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for receivables and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of their immediate or short-term maturities. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated to be approximately $88.6 million and $110.8 million higher than the carrying value as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These estimates are based on values of trades of our debt in close proximity to year end, which are considered

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Level 2-type measurements, as discussed below. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and significant judgment in the interpretation of current market data. Therefore, the values presented are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize or settle currently. The Company holds, or has held, certain derivative instruments, specifically interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts. Derivative instruments are valued using Level 2-type measurements.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The authoritative accounting literature defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value.
The fair value hierarchy includes three levels which are based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). If the inputs used to measure the fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1. Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2. Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
•Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
•Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
•Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
• | Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3. Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Fair Value Measurements
Generally accepted accounting principles require that, subsequent to their initial recognition, certain assets be reviewed for impairment on a nonrecurring basis by comparison to their fair value. As more fully discussed in their respective subheadings below, this includes goodwill, long-lived assets, intangible assets, computer software and investments. Following is a summary of the fair value measurement impairments recognized in 2011 and 2010 for assets measured at fair value:

Contingent consideration liabilities recorded in connection with business acquisitions must also be adjusted for changes in fair value until settled. See Note 5 for discussion of the Capco contingent consideration liability, which was reduced by $22.3 million in 2011 based on forecasts of achievement of targeted operating performance (Level 3 measurement).
(d)Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company engaged in hedging activities relating to its variable rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps. The Company designates these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. The estimated fair values of the cash flow hedges are recorded as an asset or liability of the Company and are included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets in prepaid expenses and other current assets, other non-current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities or other long-term liabilities, as appropriate, and as a component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings, net of deferred taxes. A portion of the amount included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings is recorded in interest expense as a yield adjustment as interest payments are made on the Company’s Term and Revolving Loans (Note 13). The Company’s existing cash flow hedges are highly effective and there was no impact on 2011 earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness. It is our policy to execute such instruments with credit-worthy banks and not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. As of December 31, 2011, we believe that our interest rate swap counterparties will be able to fulfill their obligations under our agreements.
Our foreign exchange risk management policy permits the use of derivative instruments, such as forward contracts and options, to reduce volatility in our results of operations and/or cash flows resulting from foreign exchange rate fluctuations. During 2011, we entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure to intercompany loans. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the notional amount of these derivatives was approximately $59.4 million and $56.5 million, respectively and the fair value was nominal. These derivatives have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

(e)Trade Receivables
A summary of trade receivables, net, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in millions):
2011 | 2010 | ||||||
Trade receivables — billed | $ | 760.8 | $ | 725.3 | |||
Trade receivables — unbilled | 130.8 | 147.2 | |||||
Total trade receivables | 891.6 | 872.5 | |||||
Allowance for doubtful accounts | (33.1 | ) | (33.1 | ) | |||
Total trade receivables, net | $ | 858.5 | $ | 839.4 | |||
When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company considers historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends, changes in customer payment terms and collection trends. Any change in the assumptions used may result in an additional allowance for doubtful accounts being recognized in the period in which the change occurs.
A summary roll forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts, as of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 is as follows (in millions):
Allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2008 | $ | (40.6 | ) |
Bad debt expense | (27.6 | ) | |
Write-offs | 26.4 | ||
Allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2009 | (41.8 | ) | |

Settlement Deposits, Receivables, and Payables. The Company records settlement receivables and payables that result from timing differences in the Company’s settlement processes with merchants, financial institutions, and credit card associations related to merchant and card transaction processing and third-party check collections. Cash held by FIS associated with this settlement process is classified as settlement deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(f)Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations. FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, requires that goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives should not be amortized, but shall be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter using a September 30th measurement date unless circumstances require a more frequent measurement.
In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company early adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08 ("ASU 2011-08"), Testing Goodwill for Impairment. Prior guidance required entities to perform an annual quantitative test, calculating and comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount ("step one"). The revised standard allows an entity first to assess qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value. If an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent), the step one quantitative assessment must be performed for that reporting unit. ASU 2011-08 provided examples of events and circumstances that should be considered in performing the "step zero" qualitative assessment, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, events affecting a reporting unit or the entity as a whole and a sustained decrease in share price. There was a
52
FIDELITY NATIONAL INFORMATION SERVICES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
substantial excess of fair value over carrying value for each of our reporting units in the 2010 step one analysis. In performing the 2011 step zero qualitative analysis, examining those factors most likely to affect our valuations, we concluded that it remains more likely than not that the fair value of each of our reporting units continues to exceed their carrying amounts. Consequently, we did not perform a step one analysis in 2011.
(g)Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets and intangible assets with definite useful lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, which are Level 3-type measurements. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
(h)Intangible Assets
The Company has intangible assets which consist primarily of customer relationships and trademarks that are recorded in connection with acquisitions at their fair value based on the results of valuation analysis. Customer relationships are amortized over their estimated useful lives using an accelerated method which takes into consideration expected customer attrition rates up to a ten-year period. Intangible assets with estimated useful lives (principally customer relationships and certain trademarks) are reviewed for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC Section 360-10-35, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, while certain trademarks determined to have indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment at least annually in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350.
(i)Computer Software
Computer software includes software acquired in business combinations, purchased software and capitalized software development costs. Purchased software is recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life and software acquired in business combinations is recorded at its fair value and amortized using straight-line or accelerated methods over its estimated useful life, ranging from five to ten years.
The capitalization of software development costs is governed by FASB ASC Subtopic 985-20 if the software is to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed, or by FASB ASC Subtopic 350-40 if the software is for internal use. After the technological feasibility of the software has been established (for software to be marketed), or at the beginning of application development (for internal-use software), software development costs, which include salaries and related payroll costs and costs of independent contractors incurred during development, are capitalized. Research and development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility (for software to be marketed), or prior to application development (for internal-use software), are expensed as incurred. Software development costs are amortized on a product by product basis commencing on the date of general release of the products (for software to be marketed) or the date placed in service (for internal-use software). Software development costs for software to be marketed are amortized using the greater of (1) the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, which ranges from three to ten years, or (2) the ratio of current revenues to total anticipated revenue over its useful life.
(j)Deferred Contract Costs
Costs of software sales and outsourced data processing and application management arrangements, including costs incurred for bid and proposal activities, are generally expensed as incurred. However, certain costs incurred upon initiation of a contract, including sales commissions, are deferred and expensed over the contract life. These costs represent incremental external costs or certain specific internal costs that are directly related to the contract acquisition or transition activities.
In the event indications exist that a particular deferred contract cost balance may be impaired, undiscounted estimated cash flows of the contract are projected over its remaining term and compared to the unamortized deferred contract cost balance. If the projected cash flows are not adequate to recover the unamortized cost balance, the balance would be adjusted to equal the contract’s net realizable value, including any termination fees provided for under the contract, in the period such a determination is made.
53
FIDELITY NATIONAL INFORMATION SERVICES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(k)Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed primarily using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets: thirty years for buildings and three to seven years for furniture, fixtures and computer equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the initial term of the applicable lease or the estimated useful lives of such
assets.
(l)Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities and expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The impact on deferred income taxes of changes in tax rates and laws, if any, is reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period enacted.
(m)Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenues from the delivery of bank processing, credit and debit card processing services, other payment processing services, professional services, software licensing and software related services. The Company recognizes revenue when: (i) evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the fees are fixed or determinable; and (iv) collection is considered probable.
The following describes the Company’s primary types of revenues and its revenue recognition policies as they pertain to the types of transactions the Company enters into with its customers. The Company enters into arrangements with customers to provide services, software and software-related services such as post-contract customer support and implementation and training either individually or as part of an integrated offering of multiple services. The revenues for services provided under these multiple element arrangements are recognized in accordance with the applicable revenue recognition accounting principles as further described below.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This standard revised the guidance for determining whether multiple deliverables in an arrangement can be separated for revenue recognition and how the consideration should be allocated. It eliminated the use of the residual method of revenue recognition, except where subject to FASB ASC Subtopic 985-605 for software-related elements, and requires the allocation of consideration to each deliverable using the relative selling price method. The selling price for each deliverable is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) if available, third-party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price (“ESP”) if neither VSOE or TPE is available. A deliverable in a multiple element arrangement is considered a separate unit of accounting if (a) the item has value to the customer on a standalone basis; and (b) the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the item is considered probable and substantially in the Company's control. FIS early adopted the provisions of ASU 2009-13 prospectively for all new and materially modified arrangements after January 1, 2010. Processing and services revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 would have been approximately $19.3 million less than reported if the new or materially modified arrangements after January 1, 2010 had been subject to the prior accounting guidance. ASU 2009-13 did not have a material impact on revenue recognition due to the existence of VSOE for most of the Company's solutions.
We establish VSOE of selling price using the price charged when the same element is sold separately, or in the case of post-contract customer support or other recurring services, when a substantive stated renewal rate is provided to the customer. In certain limited circumstances, the Company is not able to establish VSOE for all deliverables in a multiple element arrangement. This may be due to infrequent standalone sales for an element, a limited sales history for new solutions or pricing within a broader range than permissible by our policy to establish VSOE. In those circumstances, we proceed to the alternative levels in the hierarchy of determining selling price. TPE of selling price is established by evaluating largely similar and interchangeable competitor products or services in standalone sales to similarly situated customers. The Company is typically not able to determine TPE and we rarely use this measure since we are generally unable to reliably verify standalone prices of competitive solutions. ESP is established in those instances where neither VSOE nor TPE are available, considering internal factors such as margin objectives, pricing practices and controls, customer segment pricing strategies and the product life cycle. Consideration is also given to market conditions such as competitor pricing strategies and industry technology life cycles.

The Company's arrangements with multiple deliverables may include one or more elements that are subject to the software revenue recognition guidance. The consideration for these multiple element arrangements is allocated to the software deliverables and the non-software deliverables based on the relative selling prices of all of the elements in the arrangement using the hierarchy in ASU 2009-13. The appropriate revenue recognition guidance is then applied to the respective software and non-software elements.
Processing Services
Processing services include data processing and application management. Revenues from processing services are typically volume-based depending on factors such as the number of accounts processed, transactions processed and computer resources utilized. Revenues from these arrangements are recognized as services are performed.
A relatively small percentage of credit card processing revenue is generated from the merchant institution processing business, where the relationship is with the financial institution that contracts directly with the merchant. In this business, the Company is responsible for collecting and settling interchange fees with the credit card associations. Whether a company should recognize revenue based on the gross amount billed to a customer or the net amount retained is a matter of judgment that depends on the relevant facts and circumstances. Certain factors or indicators have been identified in the authoritative literature that should be considered in the evaluation. As a result of changes in contractual relationships in 2010, certain interchange revenues that the company had previously recorded gross, with related expenses recorded to cost of revenue, are now recorded net.
Professional Service Revenues
Revenues and costs related to implementation, conversion and programming services associated with the Company’s data processing and application management agreements during the implementation phase are deferred and subsequently recognized using the straight-line method over the term of the related services agreement when these upfront services do not have standalone value. Revenues and costs related to other consulting service agreements are recognized as the services are provided, assuming the separation criteria outlined above are satisfied.
License and Software Related Revenues
The Company recognizes software license and post-contract customer support fees as well as associated implementation, training, conversion and programming fees in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 985-605. Initial license fees are recognized when a contract exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, software delivery has occurred and collection of the receivable is deemed probable, provided that VSOE of fair value has been established for any undelivered elements. VSOE for each element is based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately, or in the case of post-contract customer support, when a substantive stated renewal rate is provided to the customer. If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but evidence does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue. If evidence of fair value does not exist for one or more undelivered elements of a contract, then all revenue is deferred until all elements are delivered or fair value is determined for all remaining undelivered elements. Revenue from post-contract customer support is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. The Company records deferred revenue for all billings invoiced prior to revenue recognition.
With respect to a small percentage of revenues, the Company uses contract accounting when the arrangement with the customer includes significant customization, modification, or production of software. For elements accounted for under contract accounting, revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method since reasonably dependable estimates of revenues and contract hours applicable to various elements of a contract can be made. Cost-to-cost or efforts-expended (labor hours) methods are used to measure progress toward completion. Revenues in excess of billings on these agreements are recorded as unbilled receivables and are included in trade receivables. Billings in excess of revenue recognized on these agreements are recorded as deferred revenue until revenue recognition criteria are met. Changes in estimates for revenues, costs and profits are recognized in the period in which they are determinable. When the Company’s estimates indicate that the entire contract will be performed at a loss, a provision for the entire loss is recorded in that accounting period.
In arrangements where the licensed software includes hosting the software for the customer, a software element is only considered present if the customer has the contractual right to take possession of the software at any time during the hosting

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
period without significant penalty and it is feasible for the customer to either operate the software on their own hardware or contract with another vendor to host the software. If the arrangement meets these criteria, as well as the other criteria for recognition of the license revenues described above, a software element is present and license revenues are recognized when the software is delivered and hosting revenues are recognized as the service is provided. If a separate software element as described above is not present, the related revenues are combined and recognized ratably over the hosting or maintenance period, whichever is longer.
Hardware revenue is recognized as a delivered element following the separation and recognition criteria discussed above. The Company does not stock in inventory the hardware products sold, but arranges for delivery of hardware from third-party suppliers. The Company has evaluated the gross vs. net indicators for these transactions and records the revenue related to hardware transactions on a gross basis and the related costs are included in cost of revenue as the Company is considered the primary obligor by the customer, bears risk of loss, and has latitude in establishing prices on the equipment.
(n)Cost of Revenue and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Cost of revenue includes payroll, employee benefits, occupancy costs and other costs associated with personnel employed in customer service roles, including program design and development and professional services. Cost of revenue also includes data processing costs, amortization of software, customer relationship intangible assets and depreciation on operating assets.
Selling, general and administrative expenses include payroll, employee benefits, occupancy and other costs associated with personnel employed in sales, marketing, human resources, finance and other administrative roles. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include depreciation on non-operating corporate assets, advertising costs and other marketing-related programs.
(o)Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation plans using the fair value method. Thus, compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the award at the grant date and is recognized over the service period.
(p)Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency for the foreign operations of the Company is either the U.S. Dollar or the local currency. For foreign operations where the local currency is the functional currency, the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the average exchange rate during the period. The gains and losses resulting from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Equity and Comprehensive Earnings and are excluded from net earnings. The cumulative translation adjustment balance was $43.4 million and $92.3 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Realized gains or losses resulting from other foreign currency transactions are included in other income.
(q)Management Estimates
The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(r)Check Guarantee Reserves
In the Company’s check guarantee business, if a guaranteed check presented to a merchant customer is dishonored by the check writer’s bank, the Company reimburses the merchant customer for the check’s face value and pursues collection of the amount from the delinquent check writer. Loss reserves and anticipated recoveries are primarily determined by performing a historical analysis of the Company’s check loss and recovery experience and considering other factors that could affect that experience in the future. Such factors include the general economy, the overall industry mix of customer volumes, statistical analysis of check fraud trends within customer volumes, and the quality of returned checks. Once these factors are considered,
56
FIDELITY NATIONAL INFORMATION SERVICES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
the Company establishes a rate for check losses that is calculated by dividing the expected check losses by dollar volume processed and a rate for anticipated recoveries that is calculated by dividing the anticipated recoveries by the total amount of related check losses. These rates are then applied against the dollar volume processed and check losses, respectively, each month and charged to cost of revenue. The estimated check returns and recovery amounts are subject to risk that actual amounts returned and recovered may be different than the Company’s estimates. The Company had accrued claims payable balances of $17.8 million and $18.0 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to these estimations. The Company had accrued claims recoverable of $20.9 million and $20.8 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to these estimations. In addition, the Company recorded check guarantee losses, net of anticipated recoveries excluding service fees, of $68.0 million, $69.4 million and $83.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The amount paid to merchant customers, net of amounts recovered from check writers excluding service fees, was $61.0 million, $64.0 million and $72.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
(s)Net Earnings per Share
The basic weighted average shares and common stock equivalents for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 are computed using the treasury stock method.
Net earnings and earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 are as follows (in millions, except per share data):

(3) Discontinued Operations
Certain operations are reported as discontinued in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.
Brazil Item Processing and Remittance Services Operations
During the third quarter of 2010, the Company decided to pursue strategic alternatives for Fidelity National Participacoes Ltda. (“Participacoes”). Participacoes had revenues of $11.7 million, $61.5 million and $58.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Participacoes had losses before taxes of $36.6 million, $63.5 million and $7.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Participacoes' processing volume was transitioned to other vendors or back to its customers during the second quarter of 2011. As a result of the dismissal of employees related to the shut-down activities which have now been completed, the year ended December 31, 2011 included charges of $34.6 million to settle or increase our reserve for potential labor claims. Former employees have up to two years from the date of termination to file labor claims. Consequently, we expect to have continued exposure to such claims, which were not transferred with other assets and liabilities in the disposal. Our accrued liability for labor claims is $31.4 million as of December 31, 2011. Any changes in the estimated liability related to these labor claims will be recorded as discontinued operations.
ClearPar
On October 30, 2009, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell ClearPar, LLC ("ClearPar") because its operations did not align with our strategic plans. The net assets were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2009, and the transaction was closed on January 1, 2010. We received cash proceeds of $71.5 million. ClearPar had revenues of $20.8 million and earnings before taxes of $12.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2009.

Brazilian Venture
See Note 6 for a discussion of the Brazilian outsourced card-processing venture (the “Brazilian Venture”). Banco Santander terminated its participation in the Brazilian Venture effective August 5, 2010. The revenue items with Banco Santander are, therefore, summarized above through that date.
FNF
We provide data processing services to FNF, our former parent, consisting primarily of infrastructure support and data center management. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of FIS is currently the Chairman of the Board of Directors of FNF. Our agreement with FNF runs through September 30, 2013, with an option to renew for one or two additional years, subject to certain early termination provisions (including the payment of minimum monthly service and termination fees). Additionally, FNF provides certain risk management support services to us at cost. We also incurred expenses for amounts paid by us to FNF under cost-sharing agreements to use certain corporate aircraft and lease certain real estate. During the 2009 third quarter, FNF entered into a transaction that triggered the repayment of a $5.9 million note payable to FIS. We recorded interest income related to this note of approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. See Note 13 for FNF holdings of our debt securities.
Ceridian
We provide data processing services to Ceridian Corporation (“Ceridian”), a company in which FNF holds an approximate 33% equity interest.
Sedgwick
We provide data processing services to Sedgwick CMS, Inc. (“Sedgwick”), a company in which FNF held an approximate 32% equity interest through May 28, 2010. The revenue items with Sedgwick are, therefore, summarized above as related party activity through that date.
LPS
We provided information technology services to LPS through mid 2010. In addition, we have entered into certain property management and real estate lease agreements with LPS relating to our Jacksonville corporate headquarters. LPS remained a related party through March 1, 2010, as Lee A. Kennedy served as the Executive Vice Chairman and a Director of the Board of FIS as well as the Chairman of the Board of LPS. Effective March 1, 2010, Mr. Kennedy and the Company mutually agreed that he would no longer serve as an executive officer and director of the Company and its subsidiaries. The revenue and expense items with LPS are, therefore, summarized above as related party activity through March 1, 2010.
We believe the amounts earned from or charged by us under each of the foregoing arrangements are fair and reasonable. We believe our service arrangements are priced within the range of prices we offer to third parties, except for certain services provided to FNF, which are at cost. However, the amounts we earned or that were charged under these arrangements were not negotiated at arm's-length, and may not represent the terms that we might have obtained from an unrelated third party.
(5)Acquisitions
The results of operations and financial position of the entities acquired during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from and after the date of acquisition. There were no significant acquisitions in 2011 and 2010.
Metavante
On October 1, 2009, we completed the acquisition of Metavante (the “Metavante Acquisition”). Metavante expanded the scale of FIS core processing and payment capabilities, added trust and wealth management processing services and added to our EFT capabilities with the NYCE Network. Metavante also added significant scale to treasury and cash management offerings and provided an entry into the healthcare and government payments markets. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 31, 2009, Metavante became a wholly-owned subsidiary of FIS. Each issued and outstanding share of Metavante common stock, par value $0.01 per share, was converted into 1.35 shares of FIS common stock. In addition, outstanding Metavante stock options and other stock-based awards were converted into comparable FIS stock options and other
59

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
stock-based awards at the same conversion ratio.
The total purchase price was as follows (in millions):
Value of Metavante common stock | $ | 4,066.4 | |
Value of Metavante stock awards | 121.4 | ||
Total purchase price | $ | 4,187.8 | |
We recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to Metavante tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of October 1, 2009. Goodwill was recorded based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired. The preliminary purchase price allocation was as follows (in millions):
Cash | $ | 439.7 | |
Trade and other receivables | 237.9 | ||
Land, buildings, and equipment | 119.8 | ||
Other assets | 144.4 | ||
Computer software | 287.7 | ||
Intangible assets | 1,572.0 | ||
Goodwill | 4,083.1 | ||
Liabilities assumed | (2,673.4 | ) | |
Noncontrolling interest | (23.4 | ) | |
Total purchase price | $ | 4,187.8 | |
The following table summarizes the liabilities assumed in the Metavante Acquisition (in millions):
Long-term debt including current portion | $ | 1,720.1 | |
Deferred income taxes | 544.4 | ||
Other liabilities | 408.9 | ||
$ | 2,673.4 | ||
During 2010, the Company completed certain tax studies and appraisals and recorded a reduction of $3.7 million in the provisional goodwill balance, an offsetting reduction in other liabilities of $2.2 million, an increase in land, buildings and equipment of $1.5 million and adjustments of less than $1.0 million to trade and other receivables, accrued liabilities and deferred income taxes. These adjustments were not given retrospective application to October 1, 2009 due to their immateriality.
In connection with the Metavante Acquisition, we also acquired Metavante stock option plans and issued approximately 12.2 million options and 0.6 million restricted stock units in replacement of similar outstanding awards held by Metavante employees. The amounts attributable to vested options were included as an adjustment to the purchase price, and the amounts attributable to unvested options and restricted stock units will be expensed over the remaining vesting period based on a valuation as of the date of closing.
As of the Metavante acquisition date, WPM, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership affiliated with Warburg Pincus Private Equity IX, L.P. (collectively “Warburg Pincus”) owned 25% of the outstanding shares of Metavante common stock, and was a party to a purchase right agreement with Metavante that granted Warburg Pincus the right to purchase additional shares of Metavante common stock under certain conditions in order to maintain its relative ownership interest. The Company and Warburg Pincus entered into a replacement stock purchase right agreement effective upon consummation of the merger, granting Warburg Pincus the right to purchase comparable FIS shares in lieu of Metavante shares. The purchase right agreement relates to Metavante employee stock options that were outstanding as of the date of Warburg Pincus' initial investment in Metavante. The stock purchase right may be exercised quarterly for a number of shares equal to one-third of the number of said
60
FIDELITY NATIONAL INFORMATION SERVICES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
employee stock options exercised during the preceding quarter, at a price equal to one-third of the aggregate exercise prices for such options. Alternatively, the right may be exercised for a number of shares equal to the difference between (i) one-third of the number of said employee stock options exercised during the preceding quarter and (ii) the quotient of one-third of the aggregate exercise prices of such options exercised divided by the quoted closing price of a common share on the day immediately before exercise of the purchase right, at a price equal to $0.01 per share (“Net Settlement Feature”). In March 2010, 0.5 million shares were issued to Warburg Pincus relative to 2009 activity. An additional 0.2 million shares were issued during 2010 relative to first, second and third quarter 2010 activity. During the year ended December 31, 2011, 0.2 million shares were issued relative to fourth quarter 2010 and first, second and third quarter 2011 activity. Warburg Pincus paid a nominal amount for these shares under the Net Settlement Feature of the agreement. As of December 31, 2011, approximately 3.1 million employee stock options remained outstanding that were subject to this purchase right; therefore, the right will permit Warburg Pincus to purchase, at most, an additional 1.0 million shares.
Pro Forma Results
Metavante’s revenues of $404.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2009 are included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Disclosure of the earnings of Metavante since the acquisition date is not practicable.
Selected unaudited pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009, assuming the Metavante Acquisition had occurred as of January 1 of that year, are presented for comparative purposes below (in millions, except per share amounts):
2009 | |||
Total revenues | $ | 4,924.7 | |
Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to FIS common stockholders | $ | 155.6 | |
Pro forma earnings per share — basic from continuing operations attributable to FIS common stockholders | $ | 0.42 | |
Pro forma earnings per share — diluted from continuing operations attributable to FIS common stockholders | $ | 0.41 | |
Pro forma results include impairment charges of $136.9 million and Metavante merger and integration related costs of approximately $143.2 million, on a pre-tax basis. Excluding the impact of deferred revenue adjustments, total pro forma revenues would have been $4,993.5 million for 2009.
Other acquisitions
The Company completed a number of other acquisitions in 2011 and 2010 that were not significant, individually or in the aggregate, including ValueCentric Marketing Group, Inc. for $32.8 million in October 2010 and Capco for $411.5 million in December 2010.
The Capco purchase price included cash consideration of $297.8 million at closing for 89% of the outstanding common stock plus future contingent consideration valued at $113.7 million based on targeted operating performance in 2013 through 2015. An advance of $7.8 million against the contingent consideration was paid in December 2010. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on forecasts of achievement of the targeted operating performance. A reduction of $22.3 million in this liability was recorded in 2011 based on current forecasts for the performance period, with a corresponding reduction to selling, general and administrative expense. After giving effect to this adjustment and interest accretion, the liability balance as of December 31, 2011 was $95.4 million. The maximum contingent consideration payout is $232.2 million.
The contingent consideration consists of two components, the deferred purchase price and the balance of common stock not yet transferred. An additional installment of the remaining outstanding stock was transferred to the Company in 2011. The final 1.0% will be transferred in 2012. These transfers represent partial exchange for any contingent consideration ultimately earned. Because the stock was considered mandatorily redeemable, it was classified together with the deferred purchase price in other noncurrent liabilities rather than in equity.
In conjunction with the acquisition, Capco and FIS established a New Hires and Promotions Incentive Plan to attract new employees and to retain and incent existing employees and management. This plan provides for aggregate payments of up to
61
FIDELITY NATIONAL INFORMATION SERVICES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
$67.8 million to eligible participants upon achievement of revenue and EBITDA targets during the performance period, which is January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2015. The Company and Capco also established an Employee Loyalty Incentive Plan, also for the purpose of attracting new and retaining and incentivizing existing employees and management. This plan provides for aggregate payments of up to 1% of Capco's revenue to eligible participants during the performance period, which is January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2015. The expense and liability for expected payments under these plans is being recorded over the performance period. Approximately $10.1 million was recorded in 2011.
(6)Brazilian Venture
In March 2006, we entered into an agreement with ABN AMRO Real (“ABN”) and Banco Bradesco S.A. (“Bradesco”) (collectively, “banks”) to form a venture (the "Brazilian Venture"), to provide comprehensive, fully outsourced card processing services to Brazilian card issuers. In exchange for a 51% controlling interest in the venture, we contributed our existing Brazilian card processing business contracts and Brazilian card processing infrastructure and made enhancements to our card processing system to meet the needs of the banks and their affiliates. The banks executed long-term contracts to process their card portfolios with the venture in exchange for an aggregate 49% interest. The accounting entries for this transaction were recorded during 2008 when certain walkaway rights lapsed, resulting in the establishment of a contract intangible asset of $224.2 million and a liability for amounts payable to the banks upon final migration of their respective card portfolios and achieving targeted volumes (the “Brazilian Venture Notes”).
During 2009, after a downstream merger of legal entities in Brazil that pushed tax deductible goodwill into the venture, we determined that the contract intangible asset established in 2008 created a deferred tax liability of $73.2 million due to a tax basis lower than the book value recorded. Furthermore, the tax deductible goodwill within the venture should have had the impact of increasing the enterprise valuation used to determine the fair value of the acquired contracts. The impact of these two items increased the amount that should have been recorded for the contract intangible by a total of $83.8 million. The deferred tax liability and the contract intangible balances were adjusted by these amounts as of December 31, 2009. The incremental value assigned to the intangible asset resulted in additional amortization, which is recorded as a reduction in revenue.
During the third quarter of 2008, Banco Santander acquired majority control of ABN. Subsequent thereto, Banco Santander publicly stated its intention to consolidate all Brazilian card processing operations onto its own in-house technology platform, and notified the Brazilian Venture during 2009 of its desire to exit the relationship. In late January 2010, Banco Santander ceased processing its card portfolio on the Brazilian Venture's systems, and in August 2010, all documents required to effect a mutually agreeable exit for Banco Santander were executed.
Under the terms of the exit agreements, Banco Santander relinquished its ownership in the Brazilian Venture to Banco Bradesco. Banco Santander paid a termination fee of approximately $83.3 million directly to FIS, which is included in processing and services revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010. Brazilian Venture Notes were forgiven in the amount of $19.4 million, representing Banco Santander's pro rata interest therein. Certain capitalized software development costs incurred exclusively for use in processing Banco Santander card activity with a net unamortized balance of $14.6 million were written off. In addition, $140.3 million, representing the portion of the unamortized contract intangible asset recorded at the initiation of the Brazilian Venture that was attributable to Banco Santander, was deemed impaired due to the exit of Banco Santander and charged to amortization expense. As a result of the above transactions, we recorded $50.1 million after-tax as non-controlling interest loss representing our minority partner's share of the write-offs.
The net impact of the items noted above resulted in an increase in net earnings attributable to FIS common stockholders for 2010 of approximately $17.2 million or $0.05 per share, and is summarized as follows (in millions):

Certain terms of the Brazilian Venture were subsequently renegotiated between Banco Bradesco and FIS and were memorialized in an Amended Association Agreement in November 2010. Among other things, the payout for the Brazilian Venture Notes was extended over a ten-year period, resulting in a reduction to the recorded present-value of the obligation and related extinguishment gain in the amount of $5.7 million. Additional performance remuneration provisions upon the achievement of targeted account and transaction volumes were renegotiated, for which additional related party payables were recorded as of December 31, 2010, based on management's expectation that the targets will be met. The total related party payable, consisting of the original Brazil Venture Notes adjusted for the Santander exit and the performance remuneration, was $87.1 million and $85.7 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. FIS continues to own 51% of the Brazilian Venture and retained control such that we will continue to consolidate the Brazilian Venture's results.
The Brazilian Venture currently processes approximately 50 million cards for clients in Brazil and provides call center, cardholder support and collection services for their card portfolios. Additionally, we are still performing call center and cardholder support for Banco Santander.

On December 19, 2011, FIS amended, restated and supplemented its syndicated credit agreement, which was originally issued on January 18, 2007, amended on July 30, 2007, amended and restated on June 29, 2010, and supplemented July 16, 2010 (as amended and supplemented through December 19, 2011, the “FIS Credit Agreement”). The FIS Credit Agreement, as of December 31, 2011, provides total committed capital of $4,338.6 million comprised of: (1) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate maximum principal amount of $1,000.0 million maturing on July 18, 2014 ( the “Revolving Loan”); and (2) an aggregate of $3,338.6 million of term notes consisting of $2,088.6 million maturing on July 18, 2014 (“Term Loan A-2”) and $1,250.0 million maturing on July 18, 2016 ("New Term Loan B"). As of December 31, 2011, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan was $175.0 million, with $824.0 million of borrowing capacity remaining thereunder (net of $1.0 million in outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Loan).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
respects to the provisions applicable to other term loans under the FIS Credit Agreement. Interest on the New Term Loan B will generally be payable at LIBOR plus 3.25% per annum (with LIBOR subject to a floor of 1.00%).
On January 30, 2012, FIS entered into a joinder agreement under which FIS accepted $50.0 million of additional revolving loan commitments increasing the maximum principal amount of the Revolving Loan to $1,050.0 million.
On July 16, 2010, FIS entered into a Joinder Agreement (the "Joinder Agreement") under which FIS issued a new tranche of term loans under the FIS Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion (the "Old Term Loan B"). On December 19, 2011, FIS repaid the Old Term Loan B in full.
FIS may borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts under the Revolving Loan from time to time until the applicable maturity date. FIS must make quarterly principal payments under the Term Loan A-2 of $60.1 million per quarter from March 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and $90.1 million per quarter from March 31, 2013 through March 31, 2014, with the remaining principal balance payable on July 18, 2014. As of December 31, 2011, FIS had made principal prepayments under the Term Loan A-2 of $4.4 million, reducing the payment obligation scheduled for March 31, 2012 by the same amount. FIS must make quarterly principal payments under the New Term Loan B of $3.1 million per quarter from March 31, 2012 through June 30, 2016, with the remaining principal balance payable on July 18, 2016. Voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans is generally permitted at any time without fee upon proper notice and subject to a minimum dollar requirement. The Revolving Loan has no scheduled principal payments, but will be due and payable in full on its applicable maturity date. Commitment reductions of the Revolving Loan are also permitted at any time without fee upon proper notice. In addition to scheduled principal payments, the Term Loans are (with certain exceptions) subject to mandatory prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events.
The Term Loan A-2 and Revolving Loan mature on July 18, 2014, unless extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of the agreement. Borrowings under the Term Loan A-2 and Revolving Loan bear interest at (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin or (ii) a Base Rate plus an applicable margin. FIS pays an unused commitment fee of 0.50% on the Revolving Loan.
The New Term Loan B matures on July 18, 2016, unless extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of the agreement. Borrowings under the Term Loan B bears interest at (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, or (ii) a Base Rate plus an applicable margin. For the purposes of the New Term B Loan, the definition of Base Rate was amended to include one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%.
The FIS Credit Agreement contains provisions permitting us to obtain additional term and/or revolving loans in the future, conditioned upon our ability to obtain additional commitments from lenders to fund those loans, in a principal amount of up to $750.0 million. The FIS Credit Agreement remains subject to customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants including, among other things, limits on the creation of liens, limits on incurring indebtedness, restrictions on investments and dispositions, limitations on dividends and other restricted payments, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. Upon an event of default under the FIS Credit Agreement, the administrative agent can accelerate the maturity of all amounts borrowed. Events of default include the failure to pay principal and interest in a timely manner and breach of certain covenants.
The obligations of FIS under the FIS Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of FIS and are secured by a pledge of the equity interests issued by substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of FIS and a pledge of 65% of the equity interests issued by certain foreign subsidiaries of FIS.
On July 16, 2010, FIS completed offerings of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes” and together with the 2017 Notes, the “Notes”). FIS issued the Notes in two separate series under an indenture dated as of July 16, 2010 among FIS, FIS' domestic subsidiaries that guaranteed its amended credit facility (the “Guarantors”) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The Notes were offered and sold in the United States to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. We have since completed an exchange offer under which we exchanged identical notes that were SEC registered for the Notes.
On December 19, 2011, FIS entered into a supplemental indenture whereby FIS issued an additional $150.0 million of our 7.625% Senior Notes due July 16, 2017 (the "Additional 2017 Notes") that have the same terms as the existing 2017 Notes. The Additional 2017 Notes were offered and sold in the United States to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A
67

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
under the Securities Act, and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Additional 2017 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold without registration unless pursuant to an exemption from, or in, a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable state laws. References to the Notes and 2017 Notes hereinafter include the Additional 2017 Notes.
Interest on the 2017 Notes accrues at the rate of 7.625% per annum and interest on the 2020 Notes accrues at the rate of 7.875% per annum. Interest on each series of Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2011. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Guarantors.
The Notes and the related guarantees are general senior unsecured obligations of FIS and the Guarantors and (1) rank equally in right of payment with all of FIS' and the Guarantors' existing and future senior debt, (2) are effectively junior to all of FIS' and the Guarantors' existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing that secured debt, (3) are effectively junior to all existing and future debt and liabilities of FIS' non-guarantor subsidiaries and (4) rank senior in right of payment to all of FIS' future debt, if any, that is by its terms expressly subordinated to the Notes.
FIS may redeem some or all of the 2017 Notes and the 2020 Notes before July 15, 2013 and July 15, 2014, respectively, by paying a “make-whole” premium. FIS may redeem some or all of the 2017 Notes and the 2020 Notes on or after July 15, 2013 and July 15, 2014, respectively, at specified redemption prices. In addition, before July 15, 2013, FIS may redeem up to 35% of the Notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings.
FIS is obligated to offer to repurchase the Notes at a price of (a) 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as a result of certain change of control events and (b) 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in the event of certain asset sales. These restrictions and prohibitions are subject to certain qualifications and exceptions.
The indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit FIS' ability and the ability of certain of FIS' subsidiaries (a) to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, (b) to make certain restricted payments, (c) to create or incur certain liens, (d) to create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions to FIS from its restricted subsidiaries, (e) to engage in sale and leaseback transactions, (f) to transfer all or substantially all of the assets of FIS or any restricted subsidiary or enter into merger or consolidation transactions and (g) to engage in certain transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions, limitations and qualifications in the indenture.
The following table summarizes the mandatory annual principal payments pursuant to the FIS Credit Agreement and the Notes as of December 31, 2011 (in millions). There are no mandatory principal payments on the Revolving Loan and any balance outstanding on the Revolving Loan will be due and payable at its scheduled maturity date:

Our New Term Loan B and Notes are held by a number of institutional investors. As of December 31, 2011, $13.0 million of New Term Loan B and $21.8 million of Notes were held by FNF.
We monitor the financial stability of our counterparties on an ongoing basis. The lender commitments under the undrawn portions of the Revolving Loan are comprised of a diversified set of financial institutions, both domestic and international. The combined commitments of our top 10 revolving lenders comprise about 72% of our Revolving Loan. The failure of any single lender to perform their obligations under the Revolving Loan would not adversely impact our ability to fund operations. If the single largest lender were to default under the terms of the FIS Credit Agreement (impacting the capacity of the Revolving Loan), the maximum loss of available capacity on the undrawn portion of the Revolving Loan, as of December 31, 2011, would

be approximately $105.7 million.
Debt issuance costs of $40.7 million, net of accumulated amortization, remain capitalized as of December 31, 2011, related to all of the above credit facilities.
The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated to be approximately $88.6 million higher than the carrying value as of December 31, 2011. This estimate is based on quoted prices of our Notes and trades of our other debt in close proximity to December 31, 2011, which are considered Level 2-type measurements.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements, the inputs used to determine the estimated fair value of our interest rate swaps are Level 2-type measurements. We considered our own credit risk and the credit risk of the counterparties when determining the fair value of our interest rate swaps. Adjustments are made to these amounts and to accumulated other comprehensive earnings ("AOCE") within the Consolidated Statements of Equity and Comprehensive Earnings as the factors that impact fair value change, including current and projected interest rates, time to maturity and required cash transfers/settlements with our counterparties. Periodic actual and estimated settlements with counterparties are recorded to interest expense as a yield adjustment to effectively fix the otherwise variable rate interest expense associated with the Term and Revolving Loans.

As part of the Metavante acquisition, the Company assumed an interest rate swap that is not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. As of December 31, 2011, the accrued but unpaid reset payments and the fair value of the future reset payments total $42.4 million and the aggregate amount is recorded as part of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. This item was paid in February 2012.

Approximately $2.2 million of the balance in AOCE as of December 31, 2011 is expected to be reclassified into income over the next twelve months.
Our existing cash flow hedges are highly effective and there was no impact on earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness. It is our practice to execute such instruments with credit-worthy banks at the time of execution and not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. As of December 31, 2011, we believe that our interest rate swap counterparties will be able to fulfill their obligations under our agreements and we believe we will have debt outstanding through the various expiration dates of the swaps such that the forecasted transactions remain probable of occurring.

Management believes that based on its historical pattern of taxable income, projections of future income, tax planning strategies and other relevant evidence, the Company will produce sufficient income in the future to realize its deferred income tax assets. A valuation allowance is established for any portion of a deferred income tax asset if management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize the benefits of all or a portion of a deferred income tax asset. Adjustments to the valuation allowance will be made if there is a change in management's assessment of the amount of deferred income tax asset that is realizable.
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had income taxes receivable of $10.5 million and $15.1 million, respectively. These amounts are included in other receivables in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards resulting in deferred tax assets of $152.2 million and $187.5 million, respectively.

(15) Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various pending and threatened litigation matters related to operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. The Company believes that no actions, other than the matters listed below, depart from customary litigation incidental to its business. As background to the disclosures below, please note the following:
• | These matters raise difficult and complicated factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties and complexities. |
• | The Company reviews these matters on an on-going basis and follows the authoritative provisions for accounting for contingencies when making accrual and disclosure decisions. A liability must be accrued if (a) it is probable that a liability has been incurred and (b) the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If one of these criteria has not been met, disclosure is required when there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. When assessing reasonably possible and probable outcomes, the Company bases decisions on the assessment of the ultimate outcome following all appeals. Legal fees associated with defending these matters are expensed as incurred. |

Searcy, Gladys v. eFunds Corporation
This is a nationwide putative class action that was filed against our subsidiary eFunds and its affiliate Deposit Payment Protection Services, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois during the first quarter of 2008. The complaint seeks damages for an alleged willful violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) in connection with the operation of the Shared Check Authorization Network. Plaintiff's principal allegation is that consumers did not receive appropriate disclosures pursuant to §1681g of the FCRA because the disclosures did not include: (i) all information in the consumer's file at the time of the request; (ii) the source of the information in the consumer's file; and/or (iii) the names of any persons who requested information related to the consumer's check writing history during the prior year. Plaintiff filed a motion for class certification which was granted with respect to two subclasses during the first quarter of 2010. The motion was denied with respect to all other subclasses. The Company filed a motion for reconsideration. The motion was granted and the two subclasses were decertified. The plaintiff also filed motions to amend her complaint to add two additional plaintiffs to the lawsuit. The court granted the motions. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment as to the original plaintiff and a motion for sanctions against the plaintiff and her counsel based on plaintiff's alleged false statements that were filed in support of the motion for class certification. In the third quarter of 2010, the court denied the motion for summary judgment and granted in part and denied in part the motion for sanctions. The Company filed a motion requesting the court to allow it to file an interlocutory appeal on the order denying the motion for summary judgment. The court granted the motion; however, in the first quarter of 2011, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals denied the Company's petition for interlocutory appeal. Discovery regarding the new plaintiffs and other matters is ongoing. An estimate of a possible loss or range of loss, if any, for this action cannot be made at this time.
CheckFree Corporation and CashEdge, Inc. v. Metavante Corporation and Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.
This is a patent infringement action that was filed by CheckFree Corporation and CashEdge, Inc., wholly-owned subsidiaries of Fiserv, Inc., against Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. and our subsidiary, Metavante Corporation (collectively the “Defendants”) in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division on January 5, 2012. The complaint seeks damages, injunctive relief and attorneys' fees for the alleged infringement of three patents. Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants infringe the patents at issue by providing customers financial and payment solutions that process payment instruction, provide electronic biller notifications, and/or process account-to-account funds transfer transactions and have requested financial and injunctive relief. The Defendants are preparing to file their answer to the complaint. Due to the early stage of this matter, an estimate of a possible loss or range of loss, if any, for this action cannot be made at this time.
Indemnifications and Warranties
The Company generally indemnifies its customers, subject to certain exceptions, against damages and costs resulting from claims of patent, copyright, or trademark infringement associated with its customers' use of the Company's products or services. Historically, the Company has not made any significant payments under such indemnifications, but continues to monitor the conditions that are subject to the indemnifications to identify whether it is probable that a loss has occurred, and would recognize any such losses when they are estimable. In addition, the Company warrants to customers that its software operates substantially in accordance with the software specifications. Historically, no significant costs have been incurred related to software warranties and no accruals for warranty costs have been made.
Leases
The Company leases certain of its property under leases which expire at various dates. Several of these agreements include escalation clauses and provide for purchases and renewal options for periods ranging from one to five years.
Future minimum operating lease payments for leases with remaining terms greater than one year for each of the years in the five years ending December 31, 2016, and thereafter in the aggregate, are as follows (in millions):

In addition, the Company has operating lease commitments relating to office equipment and computer hardware with annual lease payments of approximately $12.2 million per year that renew on a short-term basis.
Rent expense incurred under all operating leases during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $93.6 million, $116.1 million and $100.2 million, respectively. Included in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings was rent expense of $0.5 million, $2.0 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company entered into capital lease obligations of $31.4 million for certain computer hardware and software. The assets are included in property and equipment and computer software and the remaining capital lease obligation is classified as long-term debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2011. Periodic payments are included in Repayment of borrowings on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Data Processing and Maintenance Services Agreements. The Company has agreements with various vendors, which expire between 2012 and 2018, for portions of its computer data processing operations and related functions. The Company’s estimated aggregate contractual obligation remaining under these agreements was approximately $299.8 million as of December 31, 2011. However, this amount could be more or less depending on various factors such as the inflation rate, foreign exchange rates, the introduction of significant new technologies, or changes in the Company’s data processing needs.

Stock compensation expense of $19.3 million was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2009 relating to the acceleration of option vesting for all options and restricted stock awards granted under the Certegy Plan from February 1, 2006 through June of 2008, due to the terms of the change in control provisions relating to those awards triggered by the acquisition of Metavante. Those awards specified that a greater than 33% change in ownership of the Company would trigger the change in control provisions under those agreements and subsequent to the Metavante acquisition, FIS shareholders held approximately 52% of the outstanding shares of the Company. Stock compensation expense for 2009 also includes $8.2 million for acceleration of expense relating to certain options and restricted stock awards held by certain executives granted in 2008 under the terms of their employment agreements. Due to the fact that the terms of these awards included these provisions, the acceleration charge was based on the original fair value attributable to the awards and was not remeasured upon the change in control provision being triggered.
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was estimated to be $7.58, $7.84 and $7.18, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions below:
2011 | 2010 | 2009 | ||||||
Risk free interest rate | 0.8 | % | 1.1 | % | 2.3 | % | ||

forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate that is used in the stock option valuation model on U.S. Treasury securities issued with maturities similar to the expected term of the options. The expected stock volatility factor is determined using historical daily price changes of the Company's common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the expected term of the option and the impact of any expected trends. The dividend yield assumption is based on the current dividend yield at the grant date or management's forecasted expectations. The expected life assumption is determined by calculating the average term from the Company's historical stock option activity and considering the impact of expected future trends.
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock awards is $122.5 million and $129.3 million, respectively, which is expected to be recognized in pre-tax income over a weighted average period of 1.6 years and 1.7 years, respectively.
The Company granted a total of 1.4 million restricted stock shares at prices ranging from $24.16 to $31.80 on various dates in 2011. These shares vest annually over three years. The Company granted a total of 1.5 million restricted stock shares at prices ranging from $25.76 to $28.15 on various dates in 2010. These shares vest annually over three years. The Company also granted 0.9 million performance restricted stock units during 2010. These performance restricted stock units have been granted at the maximum achievable level and the number of shares that can vest is based on specific revenue and EBITDA goals for periods from 2010 through 2012. During 2009, we granted 0.5 million shares of restricted stock at a price of $22.55 that vest annually over three years. On October 1, 2009, the Company granted 0.4 million restricted stock units at a price of $24.85 per share that vested over six months. On March 20, 2008, we granted 0.4 million shares of restricted stock at a price of $38.75 that were to vest quarterly over 2 years. On July 2, 2008, 0.2 million of these shares were canceled and assumed by LPS. The remaining unvested restricted shares were converted by the conversion factor of 1.7952. These awards vested as of October 1, 2009, under the change in control provisions due to the Metavante Acquisition. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we have approximately 2.6 million and 2.2 million unvested restricted shares remaining. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010 we also have 0.6 million and 0.6 million of restricted stock units that have not vested.
Share Repurchase Program and Recapitalization Plan
On February 4, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a plan authorizing repurchases of up to 15.0 million shares of our common stock in the open market, at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions, through January 31, 2013. We repurchased 1.4 million shares of our common stock for $32.2 million at an average price of $22.97 in 2010 under this plan. We repurchased an additional 13.6 million shares of our common stock for $361.2 million at an average price of $26.56 during the year ended December 31, 2011 under this plan. No additional shares of our common stock remain available to repurchase under this plan as of December 31, 2011.
On May 25, 2010, our Board of Directors authorized a leveraged recapitalization plan to repurchase up to $2.5 billion of our common stock at a price range of $29.00 - $31.00 per share of common stock through a modified “Dutch auction” tender offer (the “Tender Offer”). The Tender Offer commenced on July 6, 2010 and expired on August 3, 2010. The Tender Offer was oversubscribed at $29.00 per share, resulting in the purchase of 86.2 million shares, including 6.4 million shares underlying previously unexercised stock options. The repurchased shares were added to treasury stock.
On October 18, 2011, our Board of Directors approved a plan authorizing additional repurchases of up to $500.0 million of our outstanding common stock in the open market, at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions, through December 31, 2013. We repurchased 1.4 million shares of our common stock for $38.0 million at an average price of $26.51 during the year ended December 31, 2011 under this plan. Approximately $462.0 million of our common stock is available to repurchase under this plan as of December 31, 2011.
On February 7, 2012 our Board of Directors approved a plan authorizing additional repurchases of up to $1,000.0 million through December 31, 2015. This share repurchase authorization replaces any existing share repurchase authorization.
Other Benefit Plans
Capco Plans
In connection with the Capco acquisition (Note 5), the Company established the Capco Long-Term Incentive Programs ("LTIPs"), which provide for certain cash and stock bonuses to qualifying Capco employees upon achievement of specified

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
operating results for each fiscal year through December 31, 2014. At targeted performance for fiscal years 2011 through 2013, a total of 1.5 million shares of FIS common stock may be granted under the North American program. As part of its purchase accounting for this acquisition, the Company established a liability of $9.1 million related to the cash component of the LTIPs for 2009 and 2010, which is payable in future years, beginning in 2012. The total accrued as of December 31, 2011 is $14.6 million. The maximum of the cash component of the LTIPs at targeted performance levels through 2014 is $51.4 million.
German Pension Plan
Our German operations have unfunded, defined benefit plan obligations. These obligations relate to retirement benefits to be paid to German employees upon retirement. The accumulated benefit obligation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, was $32.3 million and $30.3 million, respectively, and the projected benefit obligation was $33.0 million and $31.1 million, respectively. The plan remains unfunded as of December 31, 2011.
(17)Concentration of Risk
The Company generates a significant amount of revenue from large customers, however, no individual customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenue in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and trade receivables.
The Company places its cash equivalents with high credit-quality financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up the Company’s customer base, thus spreading the trade receivables credit risk. The Company controls credit risk through monitoring procedures.
(18) Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
The following supplemental financial information sets forth for FIS and its guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries: (a) the condensed consolidating balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010; (b) the condensed consolidating statements of earnings for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009; and (c) the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.
