GAAP revenue for the company increased 129% to $3.47 billion in the second quarter and increased 140% to $7.23 billion in the first six months of 2020 compared to the prior year periods. GAAP revenue in the second quarter and first six months of 2020 included $1.22 billion and $2.62 billion, respectively, from the acquired First Data businesses within the Acceptance segment, 2% decline in both periods in the Fintech segment, and 99% and 106% growth in the second quarter and first six months, respectively, in the Payments segment including revenue from acquired First Data businesses.

GAAP earnings per share in the second quarter and the first six months of 2020 included integration costs and acquired intangible asset amortization from the application of purchase accounting associated with the First Data acquisition. GAAP earnings per share in the first six months of 2020 also included a gain from the sale of a 60% interest of the company's Investment Services business ("Investment Services Transaction").

GAAP operating margin was 4.7% and 11.0% in the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively, compared to 25.4% and 25.1% in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively. GAAP operating margin in the second quarter and the first six months of 2020 included the operating margin impacts from integration costs and acquired intangible asset amortization associated with the acquisition of First Data. GAAP operating margin in the first six months of 2020 also included the operating margin impact from a gain resulting from the Investment Services Transaction.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by 400% to $1.03 billion and by 231% to $1.92 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively, compared to $206 million and $579 million in the prior year periods, primarily attributable to the First Data acquisition.

"We demonstrated the strength and resilience of our business model during the quarter, producing significant free cash flow while delivering value for our clients. Our results also included excellent sales performance which provides strong market momentum entering the second half of the year," said Frank Bisignano, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fiserv. "Most important, we are incredibly proud of our people who have displayed unwavering stamina, commitment and courage as we navigate the uncharted waters of a rapidly changing world."

Second Quarter 2020 Non-GAAP Results and Additional Information

On an adjusted non-GAAP basis, the company's financial performance measures in this release, including adjusted revenue, internal revenue, internal revenue growth, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share and free cash flow, have been recalculated to provide current and historical results on a combined company basis to enhance investors' ability to evaluate the company's operating performance including First Data.

  • Internal revenue declined 2% in the first six months of 2020, with a 5% decline in the Acceptance segment, and relatively consistent performance in both the Fintech and Payments segments compared to the prior year.
  • Adjusted earnings per share decreased 4% to $0.93 in the second quarter and increased 6% to $1.92 in the first six months of 2020 compared to the prior year periods.

Outlook for 2020

While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to drive significant uncertainty over market conditions for the remainder of the year, Fiserv expects full year 2020 adjusted earnings per share to grow at least 10% over adjusted earnings per share for 2019, as revised for the net impact of divestitures.

"Given the strength of the results to date and improving performance trends around the world, we expect to deliver our 35th consecutive year of double digit adjusted earnings per share growth and are well-positioned for 2021," said Bisignano.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Due to the financial impact of the First Data acquisition, the company's non-GAAP financial performance measures have been recalculated in this news release on a combined company basis reflecting its new reportable segments as realigned during the first quarter of 2020. The combined financial information has been prepared by making certain adjustments to the sum of historical First Data financial information determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and historical Fiserv financial information determined in accordance with GAAP. The historical combined financial information includes various estimates and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results of the combined companies had the transaction been completed at the assumed date or of the combined companies in the future. The historical combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings or other synergies anticipated as a result of the acquisition. In addition, the historical combined financial information does not reflect the impact of any purchase accounting adjustments that may arise from the acquisition as those impacts would be excluded in the preparation of the combined financial information. The combined financial information is not pro forma information prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the preparation of information in accordance with Article 11 would result in a significantly different presentation.

The company supplements its and First Data's historical reporting of information determined in accordance with GAAP, such as revenue, operating income, operating margin, net income, earnings per share and net cash provided by operating activities, with "combined revenue," "adjusted revenue," "internal revenue," "internal revenue growth," "combined operating income," "adjusted operating income," "adjusted operating margin," "combined net income attributable to Fiserv," "adjusted net income," "adjusted net income, as adjusted for divestitures," "combined earnings per share," "adjusted earnings per share," "adjusted earnings per share, as adjusted for divestitures," "combined net cash provided by operating activities," and "free cash flow." Management believes that providing combined historical financial information, making adjustments for certain non-cash or other items and excluding certain pass-through revenue and expenses with respect to such combined information should enhance shareholders' ability to evaluate the combined company's performance, including providing a reasonable basis of comparison with its results for post-acquisition periods and providing additional insights into the factors and trends affecting the combined company's business. Therefore, the company excludes these items from its and First Data's historical combined revenue, combined operating income, combined net income attributable to Fiserv, combined earnings per share and combined net cash provided by operating activities to calculate these non-GAAP measures. The corresponding reconciliations of adjusted financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are included in this news release.

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 and restructuring costs; net charges associated with debt financing activities including foreign currency transaction gains or losses, early debt extinguishment and bridge financing costs; merger and integration costs; gains or losses from the sale of businesses; and certain discrete tax benefits and expenses. The company excludes these items to more clearly focus on the factors management believes are pertinent to the company's operations, and management uses this information to make operating decisions, including the allocation of resources to the company's various businesses.

The company adjusts its non-GAAP results to exclude amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Management believes that the adjustment of acquisition-related intangible asset amortization supplements GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the comparability of operating performance. Although the company excludes amortization from acquisition-related intangible assets from its non-GAAP expenses, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.

Management believes internal revenue growth is useful because it presents combined adjusted revenue growth including deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustments and excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions, dispositions and the company's Output Solutions postage reimbursements. Management believes free cash flow is useful to measure the funds generated in a given period that are available for debt service requirements and strategic capital decisions. Management believes this supplemental information enhances shareholders' ability to evaluate and understand the company's core business performance.

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

Earnings per share is calculated using actual, unrounded amounts.

1

Represents the financial results of First Data prior to the date of acquisition. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, this includes the results of First Data from April 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 and from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, respectively.

2

Represents acquisition and related integration costs incurred as a result of the company's various acquisitions. Merger and integration costs include $219 million and $23 million in the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $440 million and $80 million in the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to the First Data acquisition. First Data integration-related costs in the second quarter and first six months of 2020 primarily include $56 million and $103 million, respectively, of third party professional service fees associated with integration-related activities; $40 million and $92 million, respectively, of incremental share-based compensation, including the fair value of stock awards assumed by Fiserv; $33 million and $80 million, respectively, of accelerated depreciation and amortization associated with the termination of certain vendor contracts; $28 million and $78 million, respectively, of other integration-related compensation costs; and a $40 million non-cash impairment charge in both the second quarter and first six months of 2020 associated with the early exit of certain leased facilities. Merger and integration costs related to the First Data acquisition in the second quarter and first six months of 2019 include $16 million and $53 million, respectively, of legal and other professional service fees, primarily consisting of transaction costs.

3

Represents severance and other costs associated with the achievement of ongoing expense management initiatives, including real estate and data center consolidation activities. Amounts during the second quarter of 2020 consisted entirely of severance costs.

4

Represents amortization of intangible assets acquired through various acquisitions, including customer relationships, software/technology, and trade names. This adjustment does not exclude the amortization of other intangible assets such as contract assets (sales commissions and deferred conversion costs), capitalized and purchased software, and financing costs and debt discounts. See additional information on page 17 for an analysis of the company's amortization expense.

5

Represents expenses associated with entering into and maintaining a bridge term loan facility for the purpose of refinancing certain indebtedness of First Data upon the closing date of the acquisition.

6

Represents the earnings attributable to divested businesses and the gain/loss on the associated divestiture transactions, including two businesses acquired as part of the First Data acquisition that were sold in October 2019 and the sale of a 60% interest in the Investment Services business in February 2020.

7

Represents the company’s share of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets at its unconsolidated affiliates, as well as the minority interest share of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets at its subsidiaries in which it holds a controlling financial interest.

8

The tax impact of adjustments is calculated using a tax rate of 23%, which approximates the combined company's annual effective tax rate, exclusive of the actual tax impacts associated with the gain/loss on sale of businesses.

9

GAAP earnings per share is computed by dividing GAAP net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted during the period. Combined earnings per share is computed by dividing combined net income attributable to Fiserv by the combined weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted during the period. The combined weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted is computed based on the historical Fiserv weighted average shares outstanding - diluted determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to include the Fiserv shares issued as merger consideration and shares subject to First Data equity awards assumed by Fiserv in connection with the First Data acquisition.

Operating margin percentages are calculated using actual, unrounded amounts.

1

Represents the financial results of First Data prior to the date of acquisition. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, this includes the results of First Data from April 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 and from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, respectively.

2

Represents the elimination of intercompany revenue and expense between First Data and the company.

3

Represents an adjustment primarily related to the company's joint venture with Bank of America. The Banc of America Merchant Services joint venture ("BAMS") was dissolved effective July 1, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the company owned 51% of BAMS and BAMS' financial results were 100% consolidated into the company's financial statements for GAAP reporting purposes. In connection with the dissolution of the joint venture, the company received a 51% share of the joint venture's value via an agreed upon contractual separation. In addition, the company will continue providing merchant processing and related services to Bank of America's merchant clients. The non-GAAP adjustment reduces adjusted revenue and adjusted operating income by the joint venture revenue and expense that is not expected to be retained by the company upon dissolution and is partially offset by an increase to processing and services revenue.

4

For all periods presented in the Fintech segment, there were no adjustments to GAAP measures presented and thus the adjusted measures are equal to the GAAP measures presented.

Internal revenue growth is calculated using actual, unrounded amounts.

1

Internal revenue growth is measured as the change in adjusted revenue (see pages 10-12) for the current period excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and revenue attributable to acquisitions (except for revenue attributable to First Data which is presented on a combined company basis) and dispositions, divided by adjusted revenue from the prior period excluding revenue attributable to dispositions. Revenue attributable to dispositions includes the revenue associated with Banc of America Merchant Services, which was dissolved effective July 1, 2020, transition services revenue within Corporate and Other, and, in the Payments segment, certain adjustments to conform prior period amounts to be consistent with the combined company's presentation.

2

Currency impact is measured as the increase or decrease in adjusted revenue for the current period by applying prior period foreign currency exchange rates to present a constant currency comparison to prior periods.

The company adjusts its non-GAAP results to exclude amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions (see corresponding adjustment on page 8). The adjustment for acquired First Data software/technology excludes only the incremental amortization related to the fair value purchase accounting allocation. Management believes that the adjustment of acquisition-related intangible asset amortization supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the comparability of operating performance. Although the company excludes amortization from acquisition-related intangible assets from its non-GAAP expenses, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets.

2

Represents the financial results of First Data prior to the date of acquisition. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, this includes the results of First Data from April 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 and from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, respectively.

Full Year Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Earnings Per Share - The company's adjusted earnings per share outlook for 2020 excludes certain non-cash or other items which should enhance shareholders' ability to evaluate the company's performance, as such measures provide additional insights into the factors and trends affecting its business. Non-cash or other items may be significant and 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 and restructuring costs; net charges associated with debt financing activities including foreign currency transaction gains, early debt extinguishment and bridge financing costs; merger and integration costs; gains or losses from the sale of businesses; and certain discrete tax benefits and expenses. Adjustments to earnings per share that have been incurred in 2019 are presented on page 8 but are not necessarily indicative of adjustments that may be incurred in 2020. Estimates of these adjustments on a forward-looking basis are not available due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of these items.

The company's adjusted earnings per share growth outlook for 2020 is based on 2019 adjusted earnings per share performance, including the historical results of First Data on an adjusted combined company basis, as adjusted for the Investment Services Transaction and other divestitures.

1

Represents the financial results of First Data prior to the date of acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2019, this includes the results of First Data from January 1, 2019 through July 28, 2019.

2

Represents acquisition and related integration costs incurred as a result of the company's various acquisitions. Merger and integration costs include $408 million, related to the acquisition of First Data and primarily consist of legal and other professional service fees and incremental share-based compensation including the fair value of stock awards assumed by Fiserv in connection with the First Data acquisition. Legal and other professional service fees were $199 million and incremental share-based compensation including the fair value of assumed stock awards was $108 million.

3

Represents severance and other costs associated with the achievement of ongoing expense management initiatives, including real estate and data center consolidation activities. Severance and restructuring costs includes a non-cash impairment charge of $48 million primarily related to an international core processing platform.

4

Represents amortization of intangible assets acquired through various acquisitions, including customer relationships, software/technology, and trade names. This adjustment does not exclude the amortization of other intangible assets such as contract assets (sales commissions and deferred conversion costs), capitalized and purchased software, and financing costs and debt discounts. See additional information on page 17 for an analysis of the company's amortization expense.

5

Represents losses on early debt extinguishments and other costs associated with the refinancing of certain indebtedness, including that of First Data. Debt financing activities include $220 million of early debt extinguishment costs and $98 million of bridge term loan facility expenses, partially offset by $50 million of net currency transaction gains related to foreign currency denominated debt.

6

Represents the company’s share of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets at its unconsolidated affiliates, as well as the minority interest share of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets at its subsidiaries in which it holds a controlling financial interest. This adjustment also includes a $14 million net gain on the merger of a joint venture.

7

The tax impact of adjustments is calculated using a tax rate of 23%, which approximates the combined company's annual effective tax rate, exclusive of the actual tax impacts associated with the net gain on sale of businesses.

8

Represents the earnings attributable to divested businesses and the gain on the associated divestiture transactions, including two businesses acquired as part of the First Data acquisition that were sold in October 2019 and the sale of a 60% interest in the Investment Services business in February 2020.

9

Represents certain discrete tax items, such as tax effects associated with U.S. federal tax reform, deferred tax on basis difference related to the Investment Services Transaction and tax impacts from valuation allowance releases, tax reserves and non-deductible transaction costs associated with the acquisition of First Data.

10

GAAP earnings per share is computed by dividing GAAP net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding - diluted during the period. Combined earnings per share is computed by dividing combined net income attributable to Fiserv by the combined weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted during the period. The combined weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted is computed based on the historical Fiserv weighted average shares outstanding - diluted determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to include the Fiserv shares issued as merger consideration and shares subject to First Data equity awards assumed by Fiserv in connection with the First Data acquisition for all periods presented.
