Fiserv Reports Record Earnings During Second Quarter of 2002 BROOKFIELD, Wis., Jul 22, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Fiserv, Inc. (Nasdaq: FISV) announced today record earnings for the second quarter of 2002.

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2002, Fiserv revenues (excluding customer reimbursements) were $563.0 million, a 17% increase over the $481.4 million for the second quarter of 2001. Net income per share-diluted (excluding realized gains from sale of investment) for the second quarter of 2002 was $0.34 per share, compared to $0.27 per share for the second quarter of 2001.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, Fiserv revenues (excluding customer reimbursements) were $1,122.9 million, a 19% increase over the $943.5 million for the first six months of 2001. Net income per share-diluted (excluding realized gains from sale of investment) for the first six months of 2002 was $0.67 per share, compared to $0.53 per share for the first six months of 2001.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 requires that intangible assets with definite lives be amortized over their useful lives and that goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives not be amortized but evaluated for impairment. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 142 would have increased 2001 diluted net income per share (excluding realized gains from sale of investment) by approximately $0.02 per share in the second quarter and $0.04 on a year-to-date basis, due to the elimination of goodwill amortization.

"Fiserv management is pleased to report record earnings for the second quarter of 2002," said Leslie M. Muma, President and CEO of Fiserv, Inc. "We are seeing a continuation of consistent growth within our various lines of business, with most of our business units performing at or above our expectations in both internal revenue growth from existing clients and new sales contracts.

"Our Financial Institution Outsourcing, Systems and Services Segment, which accounts for approximately 85% to 90% of our total revenue, once again reported strong growth. Our sales efforts for the second quarter generated a record number of new banking, lending, securities and insurance relationships company-wide.

"Our estimate for full-year earnings per share for 2002 (excluding realized gains from sale of investment) continues to be $1.35 to $1.37 per share," Muma concluded.

Fiserv continued to see new sales growth across all of its business lines during the second quarter, including the following major agreements: GMAC Mortgage, one of the top residential mortgage lenders and servicers in the country, selected the Fiserv mortgage loan servicing solution to be its single platform for the servicing of both residential and consumer loan products. Fiserv also will provide a comprehensive range of technology services, including account and check processing, for Community Bank, a $1.3 billion banking company in Pasadena, California. Fiserv was successful in expanding its relationship with Isuzu Motors Acceptance Corporation to include proactively managing all sport-utility vehicle remarketing in the vehicle manufacturer's portfolio. Regions Bank, Birmingham, Alabama, chose Fiserv for a full suite of automotive lease services, including complete account management and collections. United Trust Group of Springfield, Illinois, signed a license agreement for the Fiserv life, annuity and health insurance administration system to provide business process outsourcing services. The State of Nevada selected Fiserv as third-party administrator for the 31,000 employees covered by its Public Employees' Benefits Program. Also during the quarter, Fiserv significantly expanded its relationship with WR Hambrecht + Company, LLC, a San Francisco investment firm, to include execution and clearing services for Hambrecht's large-volume institutional account business.

In the second quarter, Fiserv announced the acquisition of Case Shiller Weiss, Inc. (CSW), the nationally recognized provider of automated home valuation services and collateral risk management products. Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and founded in 1991, CSW serves mortgage banks, consumer home loan companies, mortgage insurers, mortgage servicers, investment banks and bond-rating agencies.
