Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Information

In this earnings release, we supplement our reporting of information determined in accordance with GAAP, such as revenue, operating income, operating margin, income from continuing operations, earnings per share and net cash provided by operating activities, with "adjusted revenue," "adjusted internal revenue growth," "adjusted operating income," "adjusted operating margin," "adjusted income from continuing operations," "adjusted earnings per share" and "free cash flow." Management believes that adjustments for certain non-cash or other items and the exclusion of certain pass-through revenue and expenses enhance our shareholders' ability to evaluate our performance because such items do not reflect how we manage our operations. Therefore, we exclude these items from GAAP revenue, operating income, operating margin, income from continuing operations, earnings per share and net cash provided by operating activities to calculate these non-GAAP measures.

Examples of non-cash or other items may include, but are not limited to, non-cash deferred revenue adjustments arising from acquisitions, non-cash intangible asset amortization expense associated with acquisitions, non-cash impairment charges, severance costs, merger costs, certain integration expenses related to acquisitions and certain discrete tax benefits. We exclude these items to more clearly focus on the factors we believe are pertinent to the management of our operations, and we use this information to allocate resources to our various businesses.

Free cash flow and adjusted internal revenue growth are non-GAAP financial measures and are described on page 10. We believe free cash flow is useful to measure the funds generated in a given period that are available for strategic capital decisions. We believe adjusted internal revenue growth is useful because it presents revenue growth excluding the impact of acquisitions and dispositions and postage reimbursements in our Output Solutions business and includes deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustments. We believe this supplemental information enhances our shareholders' ability to evaluate and understand our core business performance.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, revenue, operating income, operating margin, income from continuing operations, earnings per share and net cash provided by operating activities or any other amount determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures reflect management's judgment of particular items and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The results for 2013 include the acquisition of Open Solutions since January 14, 2013. The company divested its Club Solutions business on March 14, 2013. Accordingly, the financial results of Club Solutions are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

1		Merger and integration costs in 2013 are attributable to the acquisition of Open Solutions and are primarily the result of a non-cash impairment charge of $30 million, or $ 0.14 per share, in the first quarter of 2013 associated with the replacement of the company's Acumen® account processing platform with the DNA™ account processing platform. Merger and integration costs also include deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustments and integration costs associated with the acquisition.
2		The tax impact is calculated using tax rates of 35 percent and 36 percent in 2013 and 2012, respectively, which approximate the company's annual effective tax rates for the applicable periods.
3		Represents the company's share of a non-cash write-off of deferred financing costs in the second quarter associated with the recapitalization of StoneRiver.
4		The tax benefit in 2012 represents certain discrete income tax benefits related to prior years recognized for GAAP purposes that have been excluded from adjusted earnings per share.

Adjusted internal revenue growth is measured as the increase in adjusted revenue (see page 7), excluding the impact of acquisitions and dispositions ("acquired revenue"), for the current period divided by adjusted revenue from the prior year period. Acquired revenue was $80 million and $145 million for the second quarter and the first six months of 2013, respectively, which was all in the Financial segment.

Capital expenditures				(110	)			(101	)

Free cash flow			$	359			$	294

2		Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and excludes the net change in settlement assets and obligations; tax-effected severance, merger and integration payments; certain transaction expenses attributed to the Open Solutions acquisition; and other items which management believes may not be indicative of the future free cash flow of the company.
3		The increase in "other adjustments" in 2013 over the prior year period is primarily due to $40 million of cash payments incurred for Open Solutions transaction expenses and certain transaction-related liabilities assumed on the opening balance sheet, both of which were incurred in the first quarter.
