MEETS THE CHALLENGE OF CHANGE
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measure indicated in the tables, which exclude
certain business combination accounting entries related to the acquisitions of Online Resources and S1 and significant transaction
related expenses, as well as other significant non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation,
that we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results.  The presentation of these non-GAAP
financial
measures
should
be
considered
in
addition
to
our
GAAP
results
and
are
not
intended
to
be
considered
in
isolation
or
as
a
substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management generally compensates for
limitations in the use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying on comparable GAAP financial measures and providing investors with a
reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed
with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.  Certain non-GAAP
measures include:  
20
Non-GAAP
revenue:
revenue
plus
deferred
revenue
that
would
have
been
recognized
in
the
normal
course
of
business
by
S1
and
Online Resources if not for GAAP purchase accounting requirements.  Non-GAAP revenue should be considered in addition to,
rather than as a substitute for, revenue.
Non-GAAP operating income: operating income plus deferred revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of
business by S1 and Online Resources if not for GAAP purchase accounting requirements and significant transaction related
expenses.  Non-GAAP operating income should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, operating income.
Adjusted EBITDA: net income plus income tax expense, net interest income (expense), net other income (expense),
depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation, as well as deferred revenue that would have been recognized in the
normal course of business by S1 and Online Resources if not for GAAP purchase accounting requirements and significant
transaction
related
expenses.
Adjusted
EBITDA
should
be
considered
in
addition
to,
rather
than
as
a
substitute
for,
operating
income.


MEETS THE CHALLENGE OF CHANGE
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
ACI is also presenting operating free cash flow, which is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, plus
payments
associated
with
cash
settlement
of
acquisition
related
options
and
opening
balance
sheet
liabilities,
net
after-
tax payments associated with employee-related actions and facility closures, net after-tax payments associated with
significant transaction related expenses, payments associated with acquired opening balance sheet liabilities, and less
capital expenditures. Operating free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC
Regulation G.  We utilize this non-GAAP financial measure, and believe it is useful to investors, as an indicator of cash
flow available for debt repayment and other investing activities, such as capital investments and acquisitions. We utilize
operating free cash flow as a further indicator of operating performance and for planning investing activities.  Operating
free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net cash provided by operating
activities.
A
limitation
of
operating
free
cash
flow
is
that
it
does
not
represent
the
total
increase
or
decrease
in
the
cash
balance for the period. This measure also does not exclude mandatory debt service obligations and, therefore, does not
represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. We believe that operating free cash flow is
useful to investors to provide disclosures of our operating results on the same basis as that used by our management.
ACI also includes backlog estimates, which include all software license fees, maintenance fees and services specified in
executed contracts, as well as revenues from assumed contract renewals to the extent that we believe recognition of the
related revenue will occur within the corresponding backlog period.  We have historically included assumed renewals in
backlog
estimates
based
upon
automatic
renewal
provisions
in
the
executed
contract
and
our
historic
experience
with
customer renewal rates. 
21


MEETS THE CHALLENGE OF CHANGE
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Backlog is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G.  Our 60-month backlog estimate
represents expected revenues from existing customers using the following key assumptions:
Estimates
of
future
financial
results
are
inherently
unreliable.
Our
backlog
estimates
require
substantial
judgment
and
are
based on a number of assumptions as described above. These assumptions may turn out to be inaccurate or wrong,
including
for
reasons
outside
of
management’s
control.
For
example,
our
customers
may
attempt
to
renegotiate
or
terminate
their contracts for a number of reasons, including mergers, changes in their financial condition, or general changes in
economic conditions in the customer’s industry or geographic location, or we may experience delays in the development or
delivery
of
products
or
services
specified
in
customer
contracts
which
may
cause
the
actual
renewal
rates
and
amounts
to
differ
from
historical
experiences.
Changes
in
foreign
currency
exchange
rates
may
also
impact
the
amount
of
revenue
actually recognized in future periods.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contracts included in backlog estimates
will
actually
generate
the
specified
revenues
or
that
the
actual
revenues
will
be
generated
within
the
corresponding
60-month
period.
Backlog should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, reported revenue and deferred revenue.
22
Maintenance fees are assumed to exist for the duration of the license term for those contracts in which the
committed maintenance term is less than the committed license term.
License, facilities management, and software hosting arrangements are assumed to renew at the end of their
committed term at a rate consistent with our historical experiences.
Non-recurring
license
arrangements
are
assumed
to
renew
as
recurring
revenue
streams.
Foreign currency exchange rates are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period for those
contracts stated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
Our pricing policies and practices are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period.

the
performance
of
our strategic product, UP, BASE24-eps, demand for our products, restrictions and other financial covenants in our credit
facility, consolidations and failures in the financial services industry, customer reluctance to switch to a new vendor, the
accuracy of management’s backlog estimates, the maturity of certain products, our strategy to migrate customers to our next
generation products, ratable or deferred recognition of certain revenue associated with customer migrations and the maturity of
certain of our products, failure to obtain renewals of customer contracts or to obtain such renewals on favorable terms, delay or
cancellation of customer projects or inaccurate project completion estimates, volatility and disruption of the capital and credit
markets and adverse changes in the global economy, our existing levels of debt, impairment of our goodwill or intangible
assets, litigation, future acquisitions, strategic partnerships and investments, risks related to the expected benefits to be
achieved
in
the

or failure of our information technology and communication systems, our offshore software development activities, risks from
operating internationally, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, exposure to unknown tax liabilities, and volatility in
our stock price.  For a detailed discussion of these risk factors, parties that are relying on the forward-looking statements
should review our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recently filed Annual Report on
Form 10-K, Registration Statement on Form S-4, and subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K.
