Insights

The reported increase in full-year adjusted EPS beat prior expectations and reflects a company that's managing to enhance profitability despite the backdrop of challenging economic conditions. Combing through the figures, the expanded adjusted EBITDA margin of 200 basis points to 39.5% reveals cost-saving measures are bearing fruit, improving operational efficiency. However, investors should consider the one-off transitory impacts that negatively affected free cash flow this quarter. In terms of capital allocation, the upped share repurchase program to $4 billion signals a confident stance from management in the company's financial health and may indicate an undervalued stock in their view. Such shareholder-friendly moves are often well-received in the market, potentially pushing up share price. However, it's also important to monitor the resultant impact on the company's leverage, with current debt standing at $11.2 billion.

The recurring revenue growth, particularly in the Banking Solutions segment, suggests that FIS is maintaining a steady inflow of predictable income streams, which is a positive indicator for sustainability in the long term. Investors should take note that this segment has expanded its adjusted EBITDA margin significantly due to favorable revenue mix and cost-saving efforts, showing not only growth but also improved profitability. This kind of granularity can help investors discern which segments are the key drivers of growth within the company. Also of note is the Capital Market Solutions segment, which witnessed a lower margin contraction than might be expected given the 9% adjusted recurring revenue growth. However, the revenue mix here needs to be analyzed further for sustainability. The reduction in corporate revenue and associated EBITDA loss should be assessed for its potential drag on overall performance.

The sale of a 55% stake in Worldpay Merchant Solutions is a strategic move that has reshaped FIS's revenue profile. Investors need to closely evaluate the implications of this decision. While it provides a capital influx and simplifies the business structure, it also changes the future revenue composition. With FIS retaining a 45% ownership in the joint venture, the proportionate share of earnings will continue to contribute to the financials, but it's a reduced influence on the overall business. This kind of divestiture typically aims to unlock shareholder value and can be perceived as a realignment towards core competencies. Yet, it's important to continuously monitor the performance of Worldpay as it will still have an impact on FIS's earnings, albeit to a lesser extent.

  • Continuing operations revenue increased 3% on a GAAP basis and 3% on an adjusted basis to $2.5 billion
  • Continuing operations adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 200 basis points (bps) to 39.5%
  • Announces $500 million increase to 2024 share repurchase goal; targeting $4.0 billion of repurchases for the year

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- FIS® (NYSE:FIS), a global leader in financial technology, today reported its first quarter 2024 results.

“We are off to a very strong start in 2024. This marks the fifth straight quarter of exceeding our financial outlook, and we are pleased with the continued new sales momentum we are seeing across the business,” said FIS CEO and President Stephanie Ferris. “We are confident in our ability to deliver on our full-year outlook, as the Future Forward strategy we put in place last year is delivering improved operational and financial outcomes. We look forward to updating you on FIS’ corporate strategy and medium-term financial targets at tomorrow’s Investor Day.”

Financial Reporting Considerations for Completed Worldpay Sale

On July 6, 2023, the Company announced an acceleration of its previously announced separation plan to create two highly focused global companies with greater strategic flexibility. FIS signed a definitive agreement to sell a 55% stake in its Worldpay Merchant Solutions business to private equity funds managed by GTCR (the "Worldpay Sale"). The Worldpay Sale was completed on January 31, 2024.

Unless otherwise noted, all results are presented on a continuing operations basis and exclude the results of the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business that was classified as discontinued operations as of the third quarter of 2023.

Following the close of the Worldpay Sale on January 31, 2024, FIS retains a non-controlling 45% ownership interest in a new standalone joint venture, Worldpay Holdco, LLC ("Worldpay"), and records its proportionate share of Worldpay's earnings (loss) in the "Equity method investment earnings (loss), net of tax" (EMI) line of the income statement, which for the first quarter of 2024 consists of the two-month period from February 1 to March 31, 2024.

Capital Allocation Update

The Company remains committed to shareholder returns and is increasing its goal to repurchase approximately $4.0 billion of shares in 2024, up from the previous goal of at least $3.5 billion. The Company repurchased $1.4 billion of shares in the first quarter. Additionally, the Company continues to target a dividend payout ratio of 35% of adjusted net earnings, excluding EMI.

Investor Day

FIS will sponsor a live webcast of its Investor Day with the investment community beginning at 8:30 a.m. (EDT) on Tuesday, May 7, 2024. At the conference, FIS' executive leadership team will be providing an update to the company’s corporate strategy and a medium-term financial outlook. To access the webcast, go to the Investor Relations section of FIS’ homepage, www.fisglobal.com. A replay will be available after the conclusion of the live webcast.

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

On a GAAP basis, excluding $403 million of revenue classified as discontinued operations, revenue increased 3% as compared to the prior-year period to approximately $2.5 billion. GAAP net earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders for continuing operations were $17 million or $0.03 per diluted share. Including discontinued operations, GAAP net earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders were $724 million or $1.25 per diluted share.

On an adjusted basis, revenue increased 3% as compared to the prior-year period driven by 5% adjusted recurring revenue growth, offset by a 10% decline in professional services adjusted revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 200 basis points (bps) over the prior-year period to 39.5% primarily driven by cost saving initiatives. Adjusted net earnings for continuing operations were approximately $635 million, and adjusted EPS increased by 53% as compared to the prior-year period to $1.10 per diluted share. Including discontinued operations, adjusted net earnings were approximately $768 million and adjusted EPS increased 3% as compared to the prior-year period to $1.33 per diluted share reflecting one month of discontinued operations contribution in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to three months in the prior year.

Segment Information

  • Banking Solutions:
    First quarter revenue increased 2% on a GAAP basis and 2% on an adjusted basis as compared to the prior-year period to $1.7 billion, including adjusted recurring revenue growth of 4%. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 350 basis points as compared to the prior-year period to 44.3% primarily driven by cost saving initiatives and a favorable revenue mix compared to the prior year, including an increase in high-margin license revenue.
  • Capital Market Solutions:
    First quarter revenue increased by 7% on a GAAP basis and 6% on an adjusted basis as compared to the prior-year period to $706 million reflecting adjusted recurring revenue growth of 9%. Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted by 80 basis points over the prior-year period to 47.4% primarily due to revenue mix.
  • Corporate and Other:
    First quarter revenue decreased by 12% as compared to the prior-year period to $77 million. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $105 million, including $117 million of corporate expenses.

Discontinued Operations (Worldpay Merchant Solutions)

For the month of January, discontinued operations revenue was $403 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $187 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 46.4%. Having completed the Worldpay Sale on January 31, 2024, year-over-year growth comparisons are not meaningful.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flows

As of March 31, 2024, debt outstanding totaled $11.2 billion. First quarter net cash provided by operating activities for continuing operations was $206 million, and free cash flow for continuing operations was approximately $95 million. Free cash flow in the quarter was negatively impacted by approximately $195 million of transitory impacts. In the quarter, the Company returned $1.6 billion of capital to shareholders through $1.4 billion of share repurchases and $209 million of dividends paid.

Second Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Outlook

The Company is introducing its second quarter outlook and, for the full-year, is reaffirming its outlook for revenue and adjusted EBITDA and is increasing its outlook for adjusted EPS by $0.22 compared to the prior outlook. The adjusted EPS outlook reflects 11 months of EMI contribution for the full-year.

Following the close of the Worldpay Sale on January 31, 2024, FIS retains a non-controlling 45% ownership interest in a new standalone joint venture, Worldpay Holdco, LLC ("Worldpay"), and records its proportionate share of Worldpay's earnings (loss) in the EMI line of the income statement, which for the first quarter of 2024 consists of the two-month period from February 1 to March 31, 2024.

FIS Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting in the United States. GAAP includes the standards, conventions, and rules accountants follow in recording and summarizing transactions and in the preparation of financial statements. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we have provided certain non-GAAP financial measures.

These non-GAAP measures include constant currency revenue, adjusted revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS, and free cash flow. These non-GAAP measures may be used in this release and/or in the attached supplemental financial information.

We believe these non-GAAP measures help investors better understand the underlying fundamentals of our business. As further described below, the non-GAAP revenue and earnings measures presented eliminate items management believes are not indicative of FIS’ operating performance. The constant currency revenue and adjusted revenue growth measures adjust for the effects of exchange rate fluctuations and exclude discontinued operations, while adjusted revenue growth also excludes revenue from Corporate and Other, giving investors further insight into our performance. Finally, free cash flow provides further information about the ability of our business to generate cash. For these reasons, management also uses these non-GAAP measures in its assessment and management of FIS’ performance.

Constant currency revenue represents reported segment revenue excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in the current period.

Adjusted revenue growth reflects the percentage change in constant currency revenue for the current period as compared to the prior period. When referring to adjusted revenue growth, revenue from our Corporate and Other segment is excluded.

Adjusted EBITDA reflects net earnings (loss) before interest, other income (expense), taxes, equity method investment earnings (loss), and depreciation and amortization, and excludes certain costs and other transactions that management deems non-operational in nature, or that otherwise improve the comparability of operating results across reporting periods by their exclusion. This measure is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to our segments, is presented in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting, and is excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures under the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K.

Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, divided by revenue.

Adjusted net earnings excludes the impact of certain costs and other transactions which management deems non-operational in nature or that otherwise improve the comparability of operating results across reporting periods by their exclusion. These include, among others, the impact of acquisition-related purchase accounting amortization which is recurring. For purposes of calculating Adjusted net earnings, our equity method investment earnings (loss) (EMI) from Worldpay is also adjusted to exclude certain costs and other transactions in a similar manner.

Adjusted EPS reflects adjusted net earnings, as defined above, divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Free cash flow reflects net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for the net change in settlement assets and obligations and excluding certain transactions that are closely associated with non-operating activities or are otherwise non-operational in nature and not indicative of future operating cash flows, less capital expenditures. Free cash flow does not represent our residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since we have mandatory debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. Free cash flow as presented in this earnings release excludes cash flow from discontinued operations, which our management will not be able to freely access following the Worldpay separation.

Any non-GAAP measures should be considered in context with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures. Further, FIS’ non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently from similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to related GAAP measures, including footnotes describing the adjustments, are provided in the attached schedules and in the Investor Relations section of the FIS website, www.fisglobal.com.

  • the effect of legislative initiatives or proposals, statutory changes, governmental or applicable regulations and/or changes in industry requirements, including privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations;
  • 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 other setbacks suffered by firms in those industries;
  • changes in the growth rates of the markets for our solutions;
  • the amount, declaration and payment of future dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on, among other things, our investment 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;
  • the amount and timing of any future share repurchases is subject to, among other things, our share price, our other investment opportunities and cash requirements, our results of operations and financial condition, our future prospects and other factors that may be considered relevant by our Board of Directors and management;

  • internal or external security or privacy breaches of our systems, including those relating to unauthorized access, theft, corruption or loss of personal information and computer viruses and other malware affecting our software or platforms, and the reactions of customers, card associations, government regulators and others to any such events;
  • the risk that implementation of software, including software updates, for customers or at customer locations or employee error in monitoring our software and platforms may result in the corruption or loss of data or customer information, interruption of business operations, outages, exposure to liability claims or loss of customers;
  • the risk that partners and third parties may fail to satisfy their legal obligations to us;
  • risks associated with managing pension cost, cybersecurity issues, IT outages and data privacy;
  • the reaction of current and potential customers to communications from us or regulators regarding information security, risk management, internal audit or other matters;
  • risks associated with the expected benefits and costs of the separation of the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business, including the risk that the expected benefits of the transaction or any contingent purchase price will not be realized within the expected timeframe, in full or at all, or that dis-synergies may be greater than anticipated;
  • the risk that the costs of restructuring transactions and other costs incurred in connection with the separation of the Worldpay business will exceed our estimates or otherwise adversely affect our business or operations;
  • the impact of the separation of Worldpay on our businesses, including the impact on relationships with customers, governmental authorities, suppliers, employees and other business counterparties;
  • the risk that the earnings from our minority stake in the Worldpay business will be less than we anticipate;
  • competitive pressures on pricing related to the decreasing number of community banks in the U.S., the development of new disruptive technologies competing with one or more of our solutions, increasing presence of international competitors in the U.S. market and the entry into the market by global banks and global companies with respect to certain competitive solutions, each of which may have the impact of unbundling individual solutions from a comprehensive suite of solutions we provide to many of our customers;
  • the failure to innovate in order to keep up with new emerging technologies, which could impact our solutions and our ability to attract new, or retain existing, customers;

December 31, 2023, was the final deadline for states to complete all benefit issuance under federally funded pandemic relief programs. Accordingly, revenue associated with services the Company provided related to these programs has been classified as Other non-recurring commencing in the fourth quarter of 2023, and related prior-period amounts have been reclassified from Transaction processing and services to Other non-recurring for comparability.

FIDELITY NATIONAL INFORMATION SERVICES, INC.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION — RECAST AND UNAUDITED

(In millions)

Exhibit F

As a result of our ongoing portfolio assessments, the Company reclassified certain non-strategic operations from Banking Solutions to Corporate and Other during the fourth quarter of 2023. Revenue during the year ended December 31, 2023, from the operations reclassified during the fourth quarter of 2023 represented approximately 1% of consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023. During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company also reclassified revenue associated with federally funded pandemic relief programs from recurring to non-recurring based on the publicly announced termination of benefits under these programs. The following tables recast 2023 and 2022 quarterly and full-year revenue to reflect the impact of these reclassifications.

Free cash flow reflects adjusted cash flows from operations less capital expenditures (additions to property and equipment and additions to software). Free cash flow does not represent our residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, since we have mandatory debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. Free cash flow as presented in this earnings release excludes cash flows from discontinued operations.

Adjusted cash flows from operations and free cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, exclude cash payments for certain acquisition, integration and other costs (see Note 2 to Exhibit H), net of related tax impact. The related tax impact totaled $18 million and $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Notes to Unaudited - Supplemental GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

 

(1)

This item represents purchase price amortization expense on all intangible assets acquired through various Company acquisitions, including customer relationships, contract value, technology assets, trademarks and trade names. The Company has excluded the impact of purchase price amortization expense as such amounts can be significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Although the Company excludes these amounts from its non-GAAP expenses, the Company believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of future assets.

(a)

For purposes of calculating Adjusted net earnings, this item includes incremental amortization expense associated with shortened estimated useful lives and accelerated amortization methods for certain software and deferred contract cost assets driven by the Company's platform modernization. The incremental amortization expenses are included in the Depreciation and amortization, excluding purchase accounting amortization line item within the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation.

 

(3)

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, this item includes impairments primarily related to the termination of certain internally developed software projects.

 

(4)

This item represents costs that were incurred in support of the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business prior to the separation but are not directly attributable to it and thus were not recorded in discontinued operations. The Company expects that it will be reimbursed for these expenses as part of Transition Services Agreements with the purchaser or eliminate them post separation; therefore, the expenses have been adjusted out of continuing operations and added to discontinued operations.

 

(5)

Non-operating (income) expense primarily consists of other income and expense items outside of the Company's operating activities, including fair value adjustments on certain non-operating assets and liabilities and foreign currency transaction remeasurement gains and losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, this item also includes loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $174 million relating to tender discounts and fees; the write-off of unamortized bond discounts, debt issuance costs and fair value basis adjustments; and gains on related derivative instruments.

 

(6)

This adjustment is based on a normalized adjusted earnings tax rate of 14.5% and 14.0% for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $991 million in its earnings from discontinued operations primarily from the write-off of U.S. deferred tax liabilities that were not transferred in the Worldpay Sale, net of the estimated current U.S. tax cost that the Company expects to incur as a result of the Worldpay Sale. This adjustment includes the removal of the impact of the tax benefit of these items from our earnings for this period.

 

(7)

FIS completed the separation of Worldpay on January 31, 2024, retaining a non-controlling 45% ownership interest that is recorded under the equity method of accounting. FIS' share of Worldpay's results for the first quarter of 2024 under the equity method of accounting reflects activity for the two-month period beginning on February 1, 2024.

 

(8)

This item represents FIS' proportionate share of Worldpay's non-GAAP adjustments on its earnings (loss) consistent with FIS' non-GAAP measures and is comprised of the following:

$

Amounts in table may not sum due to rounding.

 

 

 

(a)

Worldpay acquisition, integration, and other costs for the two months ended March 31, 2024, consist primarily of transaction costs related to the separation from FIS.

 

 

(9)

The Company stopped recording depreciation and amortization on the long-lived assets classified as held for sale beginning July 5, 2023. The amount of depreciation and amortization that would have been recorded in discontinued operations had these assets not been classified as held for sale has been deducted from adjusted net earnings for comparability purposes.

 

 

(10)

We closed the sale of Worldpay on January 31, 2024. Loss on sale of disposal group of $466 million reflects the impact of the excess of the carrying value of the disposal group to the estimated fair value less estimated cost to sell.
