NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q, and do not contain certain information included in the annual consolidated financial statements and notes of Fiserv, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”). It is recommended that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. See the Company’s results by business segment in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

 

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncement

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), that requires companies to expense the value of employee stock purchase plans, stock option grants and similar awards. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) announced the adoption of a new rule that amends the compliance dates for SFAS 123R. The new rule allows companies to implement SFAS 123R at the beginning of their next fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period, that begins after June 15, 2005. The new rule does not change the accounting required by SFAS 123R; it only changes the date for compliance with the standard. The Company will adopt SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 and continues to evaluate the impact that the adoption of the final standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.

 

3. Discontinued Operations

 

On March 24, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its securities clearing businesses to Fidelity Global Brokerage Group, Inc. for $344.9 million paid in cash at closing, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. Prior to completion of the sale, the securities clearing businesses paid a $68.0 million cash distribution to the Company. The sales proceeds, net of related expenses, including taxes that became due upon the sale of the securities clearing businesses, approximated the Company’s carrying value of its investment. The stock purchase agreement also provides for a contingent payment of up to $15.0 million to be paid after the first anniversary of the closing date based on achievement of certain revenue targets. In addition, as part of the stock purchase agreement, the Company retained the liability associated with the SEC investigation of the mutual fund trading practices of the securities clearing businesses. In April 2005, Fiserv Securities, Inc. settled with the SEC on this matter for $15.0 million, which was fully accrued for in the Company’s 2004 financial statements.

 

The Company’s securities clearing businesses have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented and are excluded from reported revenue, cost of revenues and operating cash flows. Summarized financial information for discontinued operations included in the financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:

4. Long-Term Debt

 

The Company has a credit facility totaling $700.0 million, which is comprised of a $465.3 million five-year revolving credit facility due in 2009 and a $234.7 million 364-day revolving credit facility that is renewable annually through 2009. The Company must, among other requirements, maintain a minimum net worth of $1.9 billion as of June 30, 2005 and limit its total debt to no more than three and one-half times the Company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at June 30, 2005.

5. Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company has accounted for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with the intrinsic value provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly, the Company did not record compensation expense in the condensed consolidated financial statements for its stock-based compensation plans.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share had compensation expense been recognized consistent with the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). The fair value of each option issued prior to January 1, 2004 was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For options granted on or after January 1, 2004, the fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option-pricing model. Stock options are typically granted in the first quarter of the year, generally vest 20% on the date of grant and 20% each year thereafter and expire 10 years from the date of the award. As a result, the expense that would be recognized under SFAS 123 during the first quarter is significantly higher than the expense for the remaining quarters. The calculated expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 was higher than the expense in the comparable period in 2004 as certain participants met accelerated vesting provisions stipulated in the stock option agreements related to age and years of service with the Company in the first quarter of 2005.

The components of comprehensive income for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 was negatively impacted by the realized gain on the sale of the Company’s remaining ownership of 3.2 million shares of Bisys Group, Inc. common stock that was recorded in the first quarter of 2005.

 

8. Subsequent Event

 

On July 27, 2005, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire BillMatrix Corp. for a total purchase price of approximately $350 million. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2005.

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

 

Results of Operations

 

The Company is an independent provider of financial data processing systems and related information management services and products to financial institutions, other financial intermediaries and employers who self-insure their health plans. The Company’s continuing operations are classified into three business segments: Financial institution outsourcing, systems and services (“Financial”); Health plan management services (“Health”); and Investment support services (“Investment”).

 

The following tables and discussion exclude the revenues and expenses associated with customer reimbursements because management believes that it is not appropriate to include customer reimbursements in analyzing the current performance of the Company as these balances offset in revenues and expenses with no impact on operating income and these amounts are not an indicator of current or future business trends. Customer reimbursements, which primarily consist of pass-through expenses such as postage and data communication costs, were $83.3 million and $89.9 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and $174.1 million and $187.3 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The following tables present, for the periods indicated, certain amounts included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income, the relative percentage that those amounts represent to processing and services revenues, and the change in those amounts from period to period.

Internal Revenue Growth

 

Internal revenue growth percentages are measured as the increase in total processing and services revenues for the current period less “acquired revenue from acquisitions” divided by total processing and services revenues from the prior year period plus “acquired revenue from acquisitions.” “Acquired revenue from acquisitions” represents pre-acquisition normalized revenue of acquired companies, less dispositions, for the comparable prior year period. Internal revenue growth percentage is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes is useful to investors because it provides a breakdown of internal and acquisition-related revenue growth. The following tables set forth the calculation of internal revenue growth for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005:

Processing and Services Revenues

 

Total processing and services revenues increased $83.3 million, or 10%, in the second quarter of 2005 compared to 2004 and $154.0 million, or 9%, in the first six months of 2005 compared to 2004. Internal revenue growth for the second quarter of 2005 was 8% compared to 11% in 2004 and for the first six months of 2005 was 8% compared to 10% in 2004. The decrease in the Company’s overall internal revenue growth rate in 2005 compared to 2004 was primarily due to lower revenue growth in the Health segment, offset by increased internal revenue growth in the Financial segment. Overall internal revenue growth in 2005 was primarily derived from sales to new clients, cross-sales to existing clients and increases in transaction volumes from existing clients.

 

The Financial segment had revenue growth of $51.9 million, or 9%, in the second quarter of 2005 compared to 2004 and $85.9 million, or 7%, in the first six months of 2005 compared to 2004 primarily driven by increases in internal revenue growth. The internal revenue growth rate in this segment for the second quarter was 7% in 2005 compared to 1% in 2004 and for the first six months was 6% in 2005 and 2% in 2004. The largest contributors to the increased 2005 internal revenue growth rate in this segment were increased volumes in the Company’s lending division’s loan settlement services businesses, incremental revenue associated with the newly signed Australian check processing business that began operations in mid-April, continued strong software license revenues, and higher than normal revenues associated with one-time flood insurance claims processing.

 

Financial segment revenues, primarily in 2006, will be negatively impacted by approximately $40 million due to changes affecting three client relationships. One client is in the process of being acquired, another client transitioned from an outsourced solution to license Fiserv software, and a third client plans to convert from an outsourced solution to an in-house solution.

Table of Contents

The Financial segment revenues included early contract termination fees from clients that were acquired by other financial institutions of $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2005 compared to $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2004. For the first six months of 2005, the Financial segment revenues included early contract termination fees of $22.0 million compared to $19.4 million for the first six months of 2004. This segment’s businesses generally enter into three to five-year contracts with their clients that contain early contract termination fees. These fees are very unpredictable and can vary significantly from period to period based on the number of terminated contracts and how early in the contract term a contract is terminated.

 

The Health segment had revenue growth of $28.0 million, or 13%, in the second quarter of 2005 compared to 2004 and $62.5 million, or 15%, in the first six months of 2005 compared to 2004. The internal revenue growth rate in this segment for the second quarter of 2005 was 10% (6% due to the inclusion in revenues and cost of revenues of prescription ingredient costs) compared to 50% in 2004 (36% due to the inclusion in revenues and cost of revenues of prescription ingredient costs) and for the first six months of 2005 was 12% (8% due to the inclusion in revenues and cost of revenues of prescription ingredient costs) compared to 46% (34% due to the inclusion in revenues and cost of revenues of prescription ingredient costs). The decrease in the second quarter and year to date 2005 internal revenue growth rates compared to 2004 was primarily due to significant growth of the Company’s pharmacy services businesses in early 2004 based on the signing of some very large clients. In addition, growth of the health plan administration businesses in 2005 has been negatively impacted by increased competition in the large commercial employer market.

 

The Investment segment had internal revenue growth of $3.3 million, or 10%, in the second quarter of 2005 compared to 2004 and $5.6 million, or 9%, in the first six months of 2005 compared to 2004.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Total cost of revenues increased $57.9 million, or 9%, in the second quarter of 2005 compared to 2004 and $102.0 million, or 8%, in the first six months of 2005 compared to 2004. As a percentage of processing and services revenues, cost of revenues were 79% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 compared to 80% in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004. The make-up of expense categories included in cost of revenues in 2005 as a percentage of processing and services revenues was relatively consistent with the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, prescription costs as a percentage of revenues increased to 14% compared to 12% in the prior year period due to growth in the pharmacy services businesses in the Health segment. The pharmacy services businesses have a very high proportion of total costs related to the prescription cost which increased by $50.8 million in the first six months of 2005 from 2004 as a result of increased revenues.

 

Operating Income

 

Operating income increased $25.3 million, or 16%, in the second quarter of 2005 compared to 2004 and $52.0 million, or 16%, in the first six months of 2005 compared to 2004. The operating income increases were primarily derived from the Financial segment. Operating margins in the Financial segment were 25% in the second quarter of 2005 and 26% for the first six months of 2005. The increase in operating margins in 2005 compared to the prior year periods was primarily driven by increased software license revenues and higher than normal flood insurance claims processing revenue (both of which generate higher incremental margins) along with continued cost synergies from previously completed product consolidations.

 

The Health segment’s operating margin was 8% in the second quarter of 2005 and 2004 and 8% in the first six months of 2005 compared to 9% in 2004.

 

The Investment segment’s operating margin was 24% in the second quarter of 2005 compared to 16% in 2004 and 20% in the first six months of 2005 compared to 15% in 2004. The increase in operating margin in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the prior periods was primarily due to a temporary increase in cash investment balances that improved net investment income and continued client growth, especially in the custody and trading services for registered investment advisors.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

On March 24, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its securities clearing businesses to Fidelity Global Brokerage Group, Inc. for $344.9 million paid in cash at closing, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. Prior to completion of the sale, the securities clearing businesses paid a $68.0 million cash distribution to the Company. The sales proceeds, net of related expenses, including taxes that became due upon the sale of the securities clearing businesses, approximated the Company’s carrying value of its investment. In the first quarter of 2005, the Company recorded a net loss on the sale of discontinued operations of $0.4 million, net of related income taxes of $48.7 million. The higher income tax expense on the sale of the securities clearing operations was primarily due to a significantly lower tax basis than book basis in the discontinued operations due primarily to a tax free exchange in the Company’s initial purchase of one of the companies included in discontinued operations. The stock purchase agreement also provides for a contingent payment of up to $15.0 million to be paid after the first anniversary of the closing date based on achievement of certain revenue targets. In addition, as part of the stock purchase agreement, the Company retained the liability associated with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) investigation of the mutual fund trading practices of the securities clearing businesses. In April 2005, Fiserv Securities, Inc. settled with the SEC on this matter for $15.0 million which was fully accrued for in the Company’s 2004 financial statements.

 

Interest expense-net

 

During the first six months of 2005, net interest expense was $4.9 million compared to $9.2 million for the same period in 2004. The decrease in net interest expense was due to interest income earned on increased cash balances which primarily resulted from the proceeds received on the sale of the securities clearing businesses.

 

Realized Gain from Sale of Investment

 

During the first six months of 2005, the Company recorded a one-time realized gain of $43.5 million, or $0.14 per share, from the sale of its remaining ownership of 3.2 million shares of Bisys Group, Inc. common stock.

 

Income Tax Provision

 

The year to date effective income tax rate on continuing operations was 38.7% in 2005 and 38.9% in 2004.

 

Net Income Per Share - Diluted

 

Net income per share-diluted for the second quarter was $0.59 in 2005 compared to $0.48 in 2004. Net income per share-diluted for the first six months of 2005 was $1.30 compared to $0.95 in the comparable 2004 period. The $1.30 in net income per share for the first six months of 2005 was positively impacted by $0.14 per share due to a one-time realized gain on the sale of the 3.2 million shares of Bisys Group, Inc. common stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Free cash flow is measured as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures including capitalization of software costs for external customers, as reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes is useful to investors because it provides another measure of available cash flow after the Company has satisfied the capital requirements of its operations. The following table summarizes free cash flow for the Company:

Free cash flow

  $180.0  $260.3 
   


 


 

Free cash flow in the first six months of 2005 was $180.0 million, decreasing $80.3 million over the prior year period. A majority of the decline in free cash flow was due to changes in accrued and deferred income taxes of $53.0 million compared to 2004 resulting primarily from higher required estimated tax payments in the first six months of 2005 compared to 2004. In addition, free cash flow was also negatively impacted by an increase in accounts receivable of $24.7 million in 2005, or 6%, primarily due to increased internal revenue growth in the Financial segment and the timing of accounts receivable collections. Gross software development costs for external customers capitalized in the first six months of 2005 were $22.7 million, offset by associated amortization of $25.5 million.

 

In the first quarter of 2005, the Company received a $68.0 million cash distribution from the discontinued securities clearing businesses prior to the sale and received $344.9 million in proceeds from the sale of the Company’s securities clearing businesses. During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Company paid additional expenses related to the sale of its securities clearing businesses for income taxes and the settlement of the SEC’s investigation of the mutual fund trading practices of the securities clearing businesses.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company made payments of $135.7 million related to the acquisition of businesses and contingent payments on previous acquisitions. In addition, the Company repurchased $263.2 million of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and has 1.8 million shares available for repurchase as of June 30, 2005. In July 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 10 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Company has a credit facility totaling $700.0 million, which is comprised of a $465.3 million five-year revolving credit facility due in 2009 and a $234.7 million 364-day revolving credit facility which is renewable annually through 2009. Long-term debt includes $190.2 million borrowed under the credit facility at June 30, 2005. The Company must, among other requirements, maintain a minimum net worth of $1.9 billion as of June 30, 2005 and limit its total debt to no more than three and one-half times the Company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. At June 30, 2005, the Company had $490.7 million of long-term debt, while shareholders’ equity was $2.6 billion. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2005.

 

The Company believes that its cash flow from operations together with its existing cash balances will be adequate to meet its operating requirements. In the event the Company makes significant future acquisitions, however, it may raise funds through additional borrowings or the issuance of securities.
