Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Fiserv, Inc. (the “Company”). These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fiserv, Inc. and all 100% owned subsidiaries. Investments in less than 50% owned affiliates in which the Company has significant influence but not control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability rather than as an asset. The standard does not affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs; therefore, the amortization of such costs shall continue to be reported as interest expense. ASU 2015-03 will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permissible for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The new guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis to all prior periods. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”), which changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. ASU 2015-02 clarifies how to determine whether equity holders as a group have power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the legal entity’s economic performance and could affect whether it is a variable interest entity. ASU 2015-02 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015; early adoption is allowed, including in any interim period. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2015-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and to create common revenue recognition guidance between U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This model involves a five-step process for achieving that core principle, along with comprehensive disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for annual and interim periods after December 15, 2016; early application is not permitted. In April 2015, the FASB issued a proposed ASU to defer for one year the effective date of the new revenue standard and to permit entities to early adopt the standard as of the original effective date in ASU 2014-09. Comments on the proposed ASU are due by May 29, 2015. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach to adopt this new guidance. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies fair value accounting for all assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in its consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value represents the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The fair values of cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, settlement assets and obligations, and accounts payable approximate their respective carrying values due to the short period of time to maturity. The estimated fair value of total debt was $4.0 billion at March 31, 2015 and $3.9 billion at December 31, 2014 and was estimated using quoted prices in inactive markets (level 2 of the fair value hierarchy) or using discounted cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates (level 3 of the fair value hierarchy).

 

4. Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate

The Company owns a 49% interest in StoneRiver Group, L.P. (“StoneRiver”), which is accounted for as an equity method investment, and reports its share of StoneRiver’s net income as income from investment in unconsolidated affiliate. The Company’s investment in StoneRiver was $21 million at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and was reported within other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets. To the extent that the Company’s cost basis is different than the basis reflected at the unconsolidated affiliate level, the basis difference is generally amortized over the lives of the related assets and included in the Company’s share of equity in earnings of the unconsolidated affiliate.

 

5. Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognized $18 million and $15 million of share-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company’s annual grant of share-based awards generally occurs in the first quarter. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company granted 1.1 million stock options and 0.3 million restricted stock units at weighted-average estimated fair values of $25.41 and $78.98, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company granted 1.3 million stock options and 0.4 million restricted stock units at weighted-average estimated fair values of $18.77 and $56.98, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, stock options to purchase 1.4 million and 0.5 million shares, respectively, were exercised.

 

6. Shares Used in Computing Net Income Per Share

The computation of shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income per common share is as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended
March 31,
 

(In millions)

   2015      2014  

Weighted-average common shares outstanding used for the calculation of net income per share - basic

Common stock equivalents

     4.2         4.2   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Weighted-average common shares outstanding used for the calculation of net income per share - diluted

  243.0      258.6   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, stock options for 0.6 million and 0.7 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average outstanding shares because their impact was anti-dilutive.

Based on the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2015, the Company estimates that it will recognize approximately $14 million in interest expense during the next twelve months related to settled interest rate hedge contracts.

The Company has entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts, which have been designated as cash flow hedges, to hedge foreign currency exposure to the Indian Rupee. As of March 31, 2015, the notional amount of these derivatives was approximately $62 million, and the fair value was nominal. As of December 31, 2014, the notional amount of these derivatives was approximately $73 million, and the fair value totaling approximately $1 million was recorded within current accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet.

12. Subsequent Event

On April 30, 2015, the Company entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement that restated its existing $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and extended its maturity from October 2018 to April 2020. The amended and restated credit agreement also provided that the Company’s subsidiaries that were guaranteeing its obligations under the revolving credit facility were released from their respective guarantees. Borrowings under the amended revolving credit facility continue to bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR or on a base rate, plus a specified margin based on the Company’s long-term debt rating in effect from time to time. There are no significant commitment fees and no compensating balance requirements. The amended revolving credit facility contains various restrictions and covenants that are substantially similar to those under the Company’s previously existing credit agreement. On April 30, 2015, the Company also entered into an amendment to its term loan facility to conform certain of its terms to those in the amended and restated credit agreement, including providing that its subsidiaries that were guaranteeing its obligations under the term loan facility were released from their respective guarantees. In addition, on April 30, 2015, the Company provided notice to the trustee under the indenture and supplemental indentures governing its outstanding senior notes that the subsidiary guarantors of the outstanding senior notes were automatically released from all of their obligations under the supplemental indentures and their respective guarantees.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include those that express a plan, belief, expectation, estimation, anticipation, intent, contingency, future development or similar expression, and can generally be identified as forward-looking because they include words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “could,” “should” or words of similar meaning.

Overview

Company Background

We are a leading global provider of financial services technology. We provide account processing systems, electronic payments processing products and services, internet and mobile banking systems, and related services. We serve approximately 14,500 clients worldwide, including banks, thrifts, credit unions, investment management firms, leasing and finance companies, retailers, and merchants. The majority of our revenue is generated from recurring account- and transaction-based fees under contracts that generally have terms of three to five years and high renewal rates. Most of the services we provide are necessary for our clients to operate their businesses and are, therefore, non-discretionary in nature.

Our operations are principally located in the United States and are comprised of the Payments and Industry Products (“Payments”) segment and the Financial Institution Services (“Financial”) segment. The Payments segment primarily provides debit, credit and prepaid card processing and services, electronic bill payment and presentment services, internet and mobile banking software and services, person-to-person payment services, and other electronic payments software and services. Our businesses in this segment also provide card and print personalization services, investment account processing services for separately managed accounts, and fraud and risk management products and services. The Financial segment provides banks, thrifts, credit unions, and leasing and finance companies with account processing services, item processing and source capture services, loan origination and servicing products, cash management and consulting services, and other products and services that support numerous types of financial transactions. The Corporate and Other segment primarily consists of unallocated corporate expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, intercompany eliminations and other costs that are not considered when management evaluates segment performance.

Enterprise Priorities

We continue to implement a series of strategic initiatives to help accomplish our mission of providing integrated technology and services solutions that enable best-in-class results for our clients. These strategic initiatives include active portfolio management of our various businesses, enhancing the overall value of our existing client relationships, improving operational effectiveness, being disciplined in our allocation of capital, and differentiating our products and services through innovation. Our key enterprise priorities for 2015 are: (i) to continue to build high-quality revenue while meeting our earnings goals; (ii) to build and extend client relationships with an increased emphasis on payment and channel solutions; and (iii) to deliver innovation and integration which enables differentiation and value for our clients.

Industry Trends

The market for products and services offered by financial institutions continues to evolve rapidly. The financial industry regularly introduces and implements new payment, deposit, lending, investment and risk management products, and the distinctions among the products and services traditionally offered by different types of financial institutions continue to narrow as they seek to serve the same customers. At the same time, regulatory conditions have continued to create a difficult operating environment for financial institutions. In particular, legislation such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act has generated, and will continue to generate, numerous new regulations that will impact the financial industry. These conditions, along with mild economic improvement, have created heightened interest in solutions that help financial institutions win and retain customers, generate incremental revenue, comply with regulations and enhance operating efficiency. Examples of these solutions include our electronic payments solutions and channels such as internet, mobile and tablet banking, sometimes referred to as “digital channels.”

This increased focus on digital channels by both financial institutions and their customers, as well as the growing volume and types of payment transactions in the marketplace, have increased the data and transaction processing needs of financial institutions. We expect that financial institutions will continue to invest significant capital and human resources to process transactions, manage information and offer innovative new services to their customers in this rapidly evolving and competitive environment. We anticipate that we will benefit over the long term from the trend of financial institutions moving from in-house technology to outsourced solutions as they seek to remain current on technology changes amidst an evolving marketplace. We believe that economies of scale in developing and maintaining the infrastructure, technology, products, services and networks necessary to be competitive in such an environment are essential to justify these investments, and we anticipate that demand for products that facilitate customer interaction with financial institutions, including electronic transactions through digital channels, will continue to increase, which we expect to create revenue opportunities for us. Based on these market conditions, we believe that our sizable and diverse client base, combined with our position as a leading provider of non-discretionary, recurring revenue-based products and services, gives us a solid foundation for growth. Furthermore, we believe that the integration of our products and services creates a compelling value proposition for our clients.

In addition to the trends described above, the financial institutions marketplace has experienced change in composition as well. During the past 25 years, the number of financial institutions in the United States has declined at a relatively steady rate of approximately 3% per year, primarily as a result of voluntary mergers and acquisitions. Rather than reducing the overall market, these consolidations have transferred accounts among financial institutions. An acquisition benefits us when a newly combined institution is processed on our system, or elects to move to one of our systems, and negatively impacts us when a competing system is selected. Financial institution acquisitions also impact our financial results due to early contract termination fees in our multi-year client contracts, which are primarily generated when an existing client with a multi-year contract is acquired by another financial institution. These fees can vary from period to period based on the number and size of clients that are acquired and how early in the contract term the contract is terminated. Our revenue is diversified, and our focus on long-term client relationships and recurring, transaction-oriented products and services has reduced the impact that consolidation in the financial services industry has had on us. We have clients that span the entire range of financial institutions in terms of asset size and business model, and our 50 largest financial institution clients represent less than 25% of our annual revenue. In addition, we believe that our products and services can assist financial institutions with the regulatory and market challenges that they currently face by providing, among other things, new sources of revenue and opportunities to reduce their costs.

Total Revenue

Total revenue increased $41 million, or 3%, in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 2014, with revenue growth of 3% in each of our Payments and Financial segments.

Revenue in our Payments segment increased $23 million, or 3%, in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 2014. Payments segment revenue growth during 2015 was driven by our recurring revenue businesses as processing and services revenue increased $25 million, or 5%, over the prior year period. This growth was primarily due to new clients and increased transaction volumes from existing clients in our card services business, as well as in our digital channels business, which includes our online and mobile banking solutions.

Revenue in our Financial segment increased $18 million, or 3%, in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 2014. Increased processing and services revenue in our account processing and lending businesses favorably impacted segment revenue growth in the first quarter of 2015 over the prior year period.

Total Expenses

Total expenses were generally consistent in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 2014, decreasing slightly by $2 million.

Cost of processing and services as a percentage of processing and services revenue decreased to 50.8% in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 52.7% in the first quarter of 2014. Cost of processing and services as a percentage of processing and services revenue was favorably impacted by increased operating leverage in our recurring revenue businesses, as well as by operating efficiency initiatives across the company that have lowered our overall cost structure.

Cost of product expenses increased $1 million, or 1%, in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 2014. Cost of product as a percentage of product revenue was consistent at 87.0% in the first quarter of both 2015 and 2014.

 

18


Table of Contents

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 18.7% in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 19.6% in the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue in 2015 was largely due to lower employee severance expenses.

Operating Income and Operating Margin

Total operating income increased $43 million, or 16%, and total operating margin increased 270 basis points to 24.6% in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014. Operating income and operating margin were positively impacted in 2015 by scale efficiencies and operational effectiveness initiatives, along with lower employee severance expenses in our Corporate and Other segment.

Operating income in our Payments segment increased $11 million, or 6%, in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 2014, and operating margin increased 70 basis points to 27.5%. The increases in operating income and margin in 2015 were primarily due to revenue growth and scale efficiencies in our card services and digital channels businesses, partially offset by increased expenses associated with additional investments in our biller and output solutions businesses.

Operating income in our Financial segment increased $19 million, or 10%, and operating margin increased 220 basis points to 34.3% in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 2014. Operating income and operating margin in 2015 were positively impacted by revenue growth and scale efficiencies in our account processing and lending businesses, along with operational effectiveness initiatives.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $41 million in the first quarter of both 2015 and 2014 as average outstanding debt and variable interest rates remained generally consistent.

Income Tax Provision

Our effective income tax rate for continuing operations was 35.1% and 28.5% in the first quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2014 was primarily attributed to the favorable resolution of certain tax matters. We anticipate that our full year effective tax rate will be approximately 35% in 2015.

Income from Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate

Our share of the income of StoneRiver Group, L.P. (“StoneRiver”), a joint venture in which we own a 49% interest, decreased by $4 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in income in 2015 was primarily due to our share of a gain on the sale of a subsidiary business at StoneRiver in the first quarter of 2014. Additionally, the income contribution from StoneRiver has declined as StoneRiver monetizes its business portfolio.

Net Income Per Share – Diluted from Continuing Operations

Net income per share-diluted from continuing operations was $0.73 in the first quarter of 2015 and $0.65 in the first quarter of 2014. Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets reduced net income per share-diluted from continuing operations by $0.13 per share in the first quarter of both 2015 and 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our primary liquidity needs are: (i) to fund normal operating expenses; (ii) to meet the interest and principal requirements of our outstanding indebtedness; and (iii) to fund capital expenditures and operating lease payments. We believe these needs will be satisfied using cash flow generated by our operations, our cash and cash equivalents of $296 million at March 31, 2015 and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The following table presents our operating cash flow and capital expenditure amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Our net cash provided by operating activities, or operating cash flow, was $346 million in the first quarter of 2015, an increase of 18% compared with $292 million in 2014. This increase in the first quarter of 2015 was primarily due to increased earnings and favorable working capital changes. Working capital was favorably impacted in 2015 by a decrease in accounts receivable.

Our current policy is to use our operating cash flow primarily to repay debt and fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and share repurchases, rather than to pay dividends. Our capital expenditures were approximately 7% and 5% of our total revenue in the first quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2015 include approximately $10 million related to our Atlanta facility consolidation plan, which is offset by a landlord reimbursement included in net changes in working capital and other.

During the first quarter of 2015, we purchased $290 million of our common stock. As of March 31, 2015, we had approximately 16.0 million shares remaining under our current share repurchase authorization. Shares repurchased are generally held for issuance in connection with our equity plans.

At March 31, 2015, our debt consisted primarily of $2.95 billion of senior notes and $810 million of term loan borrowings. Interest on our senior notes is paid semi-annually. During the first three months of 2015, we were in compliance with all financial debt covenants.

Variable Rate Debt

We maintain a term loan and a $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks. Both the term loan and outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR or on a base rate, plus a specified margin based on our long-term debt rating in effect from time to time. As of March 31, 2015, the variable interest rate on the term

Table of Contents

loan borrowings was 1.43% and the weighted average variable interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 1.28%. Scheduled principal payments on the term loan of $90 million commenced on December 31, 2014 and are due on the last business day of December of each year, with the remaining principal balance of $540 million due at maturity in October 2018. There are no significant commitment fees and no compensating balance requirements on the revolving credit facility. The term loan and revolving credit facility contain various, substantially similar restrictions and covenants that require us, among other things, to (i) limit our consolidated indebtedness as of the end of each fiscal quarter to no more than three and one-half times consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments during the period of four fiscal quarters then ended, and (ii) maintain consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments of at least three times consolidated interest expense as of the end of each fiscal quarter for the period of four fiscal quarters then ended. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our $300 million, 3.125% senior notes due in October 2015 were classified in the consolidated balance sheets as long-term as we have the intent to refinance this debt on a long-term basis and the ability to do so under our revolving credit facility.

On April 30, 2015, we entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement that restated our existing $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and extended its maturity from October 2018 to April 2020. The amended and restated credit agreement also provided that our subsidiaries that were guaranteeing our obligations under the revolving credit facility were released from their respective guarantees. Borrowings under the amended revolving credit facility continue to bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR or on a base rate, plus a specified margin based on our long-term debt rating in effect from time to time. There are no significant commitment fees and no compensating balance requirements. The amended revolving credit facility contains various restrictions and covenants that are substantially similar to those under our previously existing credit agreement. On April 30, 2015, we also entered into an amendment to our term loan facility to conform certain of its terms to those in the amended and restated credit agreement, including providing that our subsidiaries that were guaranteeing our obligations under the term loan facility were released from their respective guarantees. In addition, on April 30, 2015, we provided notice to the trustee under the indenture and supplemental indentures governing our outstanding senior notes that the subsidiary guarantors of the outstanding senior notes were automatically released from all of their obligations under the supplemental indentures and their respective guarantees.
