GAAP revenue in the fourth quarter was $1.26 billion compared with $1.15 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012. Adjusted revenue was $1.19 billion in the fourth quarter compared with $1.07 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of 10 percent.

GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations in the fourth quarter was $0.84 compared with $0.58 in the fourth quarter of 2012. The fourth quarter 2013 GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations included a $0.21 per share gain on the partial divestiture of a business from StoneRiver Group, L.P. (“StoneRiver”), a joint venture in which the company owns a 49% interest. GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations for the full year was $2.44 compared with $2.15 in 2012.

“Our fourth quarter performance capped off a strong year of delivering on our financial commitments including our 28th consecutive year of double digit adjusted earnings per share growth,” said Jeffery Yabuki, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fiserv. “We enter 2014 with important market momentum and a focus on driving exceptional client value.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013

 

  Adjusted revenue grew 10 percent over the prior year periods both in the quarter and for the full year to $1.19 billion and $4.55 billion, respectively.

 

  Adjusted internal revenue growth in the quarter was 4 percent for the company, driven by 6 percent growth in the Payments segment and 2 percent growth in the Financial segment.

 

  Adjusted internal revenue grew 3 percent for the full year of 2013, with 5 percent growth in the Payments segment. Financial segment adjusted internal revenue growth was flat compared with 2012.

 

  Adjusted earnings per share increased 14 percent in the quarter to $0.79 and increased 18 percent for the full year of 2013 to a record $2.99, as compared with the prior year periods.

 

  Free cash flow for the year was $887 million compared with $765 million in 2012, an increase of 16 percent.

 

  Adjusted operating margin for the quarter was 30.5 percent, a decrease of 30 basis points compared with the fourth quarter of 2012, and increased 30 basis points for the full year to 30.0 percent.

 

  The company completed a two-for-one stock split on December 16, 2013.

 

  In October 2013, the company entered into a new $900 million term loan agreement that matures in 2018 and used the net proceeds from the loan to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. It also extended the maturity of its $2 billion revolving credit facility to 2018.

 

  The company repurchased 2.3 million shares of common stock in the quarter for $124 million and for the full year repurchased 12.6 million shares for $587 million. The company had 18.5 million shares authorized for repurchase as of December 31, 2013.

 

  The company signed 10 new DNATM account processing clients in the quarter and 31 for the full year.

 

  The company signed 77 Mobiliti™ clients in the quarter and 401 for the full year. As of December 31, 2013, the company has nearly 1,800 mobile banking clients.

  The company signed 96 electronic bill payment clients and 44 debit processing clients in the quarter, and 335 electronic bill payment clients and 145 debit clients for the full year.

Outlook for 2014

Fiserv expects adjusted revenue growth in a range of 4 to 5 percent, and adjusted internal revenue growth of 4 to 4.5 percent. The company expects adjusted earnings per share in a range of $3.28 to $3.37, which represents growth of 10 to 13 percent over $2.99 in 2013.

“We expect continued internal revenue growth acceleration in 2014 resulting from our focus on high-quality revenue, delivered through our market-leading solutions,” said Yabuki.

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, gains or losses from unconsolidated affiliates, 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 postage reimbursements in our Output Solutions business, acquisitions and dispositions, and including 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, including a non-cash impairment charge of $30 million, or $ 0.07 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 exclusive of the tax impact on the StoneRiver transaction gain in the fourth quarter of 2013 and the 2012 tax benefit adjustment.
3  Represents the company’s share of gains/losses associated with two transactions at StoneRiver, including a gain on a partial divestiture of a subsidiary business in the fourth quarter of 2013 and a non-cash write-off of deferred financing costs associated with a recapitalization in the second quarter of 2013, and the related tax impact of these transactions. StoneRiver is a joint venture in which the company owns a 49% interest.
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.

1  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 $68 million and $282 million for the fourth quarter and the full year of 2013, respectively, which was all in the Financial segment.

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  “Other adjustments” in 2013 primarily includes $60 million of transaction expenses, transaction-related assumed liabilities, and merger and integration costs attributable to the acquisition of Open Solutions.

See page 3 for disclosures related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures.
