NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, all references to “FIS,” “we,” the “Company” or the “registrant” are to Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., a Georgia corporation, and its subsidiaries.

(1) Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial information included in this report includes the accounts of FIS and its subsidiaries prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2017. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and the reported amounts of ~~revenues~~revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made in the ~~2016~~2017 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) to conform to the classifications used in ~~2017.~~2018. Amounts in tables in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes may not sum due to rounding.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, with a date of initial application of January 1, 2018. As a result, all 2017 financial information has been adjusted for the implementation of Topic 606 (Note 3).

We report the results of our operations in three reporting segments: Integrated Financial Solutions (“IFS”), Global Financial Solutions (“GFS”) and Corporate and Other (Note ~~10)~~13).

(2) ~~Acquisitions~~Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

~~SunGard~~

FIS completed the SunGard acquisition on November 30, 2015, and SunGard's results of operations and financial position are included in the consolidated financial statements from and after the date of acquisition.

In accordance with ASU 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments", the financial statements were not retrospectively adjusted for any measurement-period adjustments that occurred in subsequent periods. Rather, any adjustments to provisional amounts that were identified during the measurement period are recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment was determined. During the year ended December 31, 2016, adjustments were recorded to increase the fair values assigned to intangible assets, deferred taxes, other liabilities and property and equipment and to reduce the value assigned to goodwill. We are also required to record, in the same period’s financial statements in which adjustments are recorded, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of any change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting adjustment had been completed at the acquisition date. Additional depreciation and amortization of $6 million that would have been recognized in 2015 was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 related to the changes in provisional values of intangible assets.

The Company enters into arrangements with customers to provide services, software and software-related services such as maintenance, implementation and training either individually or as part of an integrated offering of multiple services. At contract inception, the Company assesses the solutions and services promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a solution or service (or bundle of solutions or services) that is distinct - i.e., if a solution or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. To identify its performance obligations, the Company considers all of the solutions or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. The Company recognizes revenue when or as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a solution or service to a customer.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration that the Company expects to receive in a contract with a customer. The Company’s contracts with its customers frequently contain variable consideration. Variable consideration exists when the amount which the Company expects to receive in a contract is based on the occurrence or non-occurrence of future events, such as processing services performed under usage-based pricing arrangements or professional services billed on a time and materials basis. Variable consideration is also present in certain transactions in the form of discounts, credits, price concessions, penalties, and similar items. If the amount of a discount or rebate in a contract is fixed and not contingent, that discount or rebate is not variable consideration. The Company estimates variable consideration in its contracts primarily using the expected value method. In some contracts, the Company applies the most likely amount method by considering the single most likely amount in a limited range of possible consideration amounts. The Company develops estimates of variable

AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

consideration on the basis of both historical information and current trends. Variable consideration included in the transaction price is constrained such that a significant revenue reversal is not probable.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenue. Postage costs associated with print and mail services are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of revenue.

Technology or service components from third parties are frequently embedded in or combined with our applications or service offerings. We are often responsible for billing the client in these arrangements and transmitting the applicable fees to the third party. The Company determines whether it is responsible for providing the actual solution or service as a principal, or for arranging for the solution or service to be provided by the third party as an agent. Judgment is applied to determine whether we are the principal or the agent by evaluating whether the Company has control of the solution or service prior to it being transferred to the customer. The principal versus agent assessment is performed at the performance obligation level. Indicators that the Company considers in determining if it has control include whether the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified solution or service to the customer, the Company has inventory risk and the Company has discretion in establishing the price the customer ultimately pays for the solution or service. Depending upon the level of our contractual responsibilities and obligations for delivering solutions to end customers, we have arrangements where we are the principal and recognize the gross amount billed to the customer and other arrangements where we are the agent and recognize the net amount retained.

Once the Company has determined the transaction price, the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in a manner depicting the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the solution(s) or service(s) to the customer (the “allocation objective”). If the allocation objective is met at contractual prices, no allocations are made. Otherwise, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract on a relative standalone selling price basis, except when the criteria are met for allocating variable consideration or a discount to one or more, but not all performance obligations in the contract. The Company allocates variable consideration to one or more, but not all performance obligations when the terms of the variable payment relate specifically to the Company’s efforts to satisfy the performance obligation (or transfer the distinct solution or service) and when such allocation is consistent with the allocation objective when considering all performance obligations in the contract. Determining whether the criteria for allocating variable consideration to one or more, but not all, performance obligations in the contract requires significant judgment and may affect the timing and amount of revenue recognized. The Company does not typically meet the requirements to allocate discounts to one or more, but not all, performance obligations in a contract.

In order to determine the standalone selling price of its promised solutions or services, the Company conducts a regular analysis to determine whether various solutions or services have an observable standalone selling price. If the Company does not have an observable standalone selling price for a particular solution or service, then standalone selling price for that particular solution or service is estimated using all information that is reasonably available and maximizing observable inputs with approaches including historical pricing, cost plus a margin, adjusted market assessment, and residual approach.

The following describes the nature of the Company’s primary types of revenue and the revenue recognition policies and significant payment terms as they pertain to the types of transactions the Company enters into with its customers.

Processing Services Revenue

Processing services are primarily comprised of data processing and application management, including our SaaS, BPaaS, and cloud offerings. Revenue from processing services are typically volume- or activity-based depending on factors such as the number of accounts processed, transactions or trades processed, users, number of hours of services or computer resources used. The payment terms may include tiered pricing structures with the base tier representing a minimum monthly usage fee. Pricing within the tiers typically resets on a monthly basis and minimum monthly volumes are generally met or exceeded. Contract lengths for processing services typically span multiple years. Payment is generally due in advance or in arrears on a monthly or quarterly basis and may include fixed or variable payment amounts depending on the specific payment terms and activity in the period.

For processing services revenue, the nature of the Company’s promise to the customer is to stand ready to provide continuous access to the Company’s processing platforms and perform an unspecified quantity of outsourced and transaction-processing services for a specified term or terms. Accordingly, processing services are generally viewed as a stand-ready performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct daily services. The Company typically satisfies its processing services

AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

performance obligations over time as the services are provided. A time-elapsed output method is used to measure progress because the Company’s efforts are expended evenly throughout the period given the nature of the promise is a stand-ready service. The Company has evaluated its variable payment terms related to its processing services revenue accounted for as a series of distinct days of service and concluded that they generally meet the criteria for allocating variable consideration entirely to one or more, but not all, performance obligations in a contract. Accordingly, when the criteria are met, variable amounts based on the number and type of services performed during a period are allocated to and recognized on the day in which the Company performs the related services. Fixed fees for processing services are generally recognized ratably over the contract period.

License and Software Related Revenue

The Company’s software licenses generally have significant stand-alone functionality to the customer upon delivery and are considered to be functional intellectual property (“IP”). Additionally, the nature of the Company’s promise in granting these software licenses to a customer is typically to provide the customer a right to use the Company’s intellectual property. The Company’s software licenses are generally considered distinct performance obligations, and revenue allocated to the software license is typically recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the license.

In conjunction with software licenses, the Company commonly provides the customer with additional services such as maintenance as well as associated implementation and other professional services related to the software license. Payments for maintenance are typically due annually, quarterly, or monthly in advance. Maintenance is typically comprised of technical support and unspecified updates and upgrades. The Company generally satisfies these performance obligations evenly using a time-elapsed output method over the contract term given there is no discernible pattern of performance. When a software license contract also includes professional services that provide significant modification or customization of the software license, the Company combines the software license and professional services into a single performance obligation, and revenue for the combined performance obligation is recognized as the professional services are provided consistent with the methods described below for professional services revenue.

The Company has contracts where the licensed software is offered in conjunction with hosting services. The licensed software may be considered a separate performance obligation from the hosting services if the customer can take possession of the software during the contractual term without incurring a significant penalty and if it is feasible for the customer to run the software on its own infrastructure or hire a third party to host the software. If the licensed software and hosting services are separately identifiable, license revenue is recognized when the hosting services commence and it is within the customer's control to obtain a copy of the software, and hosting revenue is recognized using the time-elapsed output method as the service is provided. If the software license is not separately identifiable from the hosting service, then the related revenue for the combined performance obligation is recognized ratably over the hosting period.

Occasionally, the Company offers extended payment terms on its license transactions and evaluates whether any potential significant financing components exist. For certain of its business units, the Company will provide a software license through a rental model for customers who would prefer a periodic fee instead of a larger upfront payment. Revenue recognition under these arrangements follows the same recognition pattern as the arrangements outlined above; however, the customer generally pays for the software license and maintenance in monthly or quarterly installments as opposed to an upfront software license fee. Judgment is required to determine whether these arrangements contain a significant financing component. The Company evaluates whether there is a significant difference between the amount of promised consideration over the rental term and the cash selling price of the software license, and the overall impact of the time value of money on the transaction. Rental software license arrangements that include a significant financing component are adjusted for the time value of money at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate by recording a contract asset and interest income. The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money if it is expected, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised solution or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that solution or service will be one year or less.

Professional Services Revenue

Professional services revenue is comprised of implementation, conversion, and programming services associated with the Company’s data processing and application management agreements, implementation or installation services related to licensed software, and other consulting services. A significant portion of our professional services revenue is derived from contracts for dedicated personnel resources who are often working full-time at a client site and under the client's direction. This revenue

AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

generally re-occurs as contracts are renewed. Payment terms for professional services may be based on an upfront fixed fee, fixed upon the achievement of milestones, or on a time and materials basis.

In assessing whether implementation services provided on data processing, application management or software agreements are a distinct performance obligation, the Company considers whether the services are both capable of being distinct (i.e., can the customer benefit from the services alone or in combination with other resources that are readily available to the customer) and distinct within the context of the contract (i.e., separately identifiable from the other performance obligations in the contract). Implementation services and other professional services are typically considered distinct performance obligations. However, when these services involve significant customization or modification of an underlying solution or offering, or if the services are complex and not available from a third-party provider and must be completed prior to a customer having the ability to benefit from a solution or offering, then such services and the underlying solution or offering will be accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

The Company’s professional services that are accounted for as distinct performance obligations and that are billed on a fixed fee basis are typically satisfied as services are rendered; thus the Company uses a cost-based input method, such as cost-to-cost or efforts expended (labor hours), to provide a faithful depiction of the transfer of those services. For professional services that are distinct and billed on a time and materials basis, revenue is generally recognized using an output method that corresponds with the time and materials billed and delivered, which is reflective of the transfer of the services to the customer. Professional services that are not distinct from an associated solution or offering are recognized over the common measure of progress for the overall performance obligation (typically a time-elapsed output measure that corresponds to the period over which the solution or offering is made available to the customer).

Hardware and Other Revenue

Hardware and other miscellaneous revenue is generally recognized at a point in time upon delivery. The Company typically does not stock in inventory the hardware solutions sold but arranges for delivery of hardware from third-party suppliers. The Company determines whether hardware delivered from third-party suppliers should be recognized on a gross or net basis by evaluating whether the Company has control of the solution or service prior to it being transferred to the customer.

Material Rights

Some of the Company’s contracts with customers include options for the customer to acquire additional solutions or services in the future, including options to renew existing services. Options may represent a material right to acquire solutions or services if the discount is incremental to the range of discounts typically given for those solutions or services to that class of customer in that geographical area or market, and the customer would not have obtained the option without entering into the contract. If deemed to be a material right, the Company will account for the material right as a separate performance obligation and determine the standalone selling price based on directly observable prices when available. If the standalone selling price is not directly observable, then the Company estimates the standalone selling price to be equal to the discount that the customer would obtain by exercising the option, as adjusted for any discount that the customer would receive without exercising the option and for the likelihood that the option will be exercised.

(b) Deferred Contract Costs

The Company incurs costs as a result of both the origination and fulfillment of our contracts with customers. Origination costs relate primarily to the payment of sales commissions that are directly related to sales transactions. Fulfillment costs include the cost of implementation services related to SaaS and other cloud-based arrangements when the implementation service is not distinct from the ongoing service. When origination costs and fulfillment costs that will be used to satisfy future performance obligations are directly related to the execution of our contracts with customers, and the costs are recoverable under the contract, the costs are capitalized as a deferred contract cost.

Origination costs for contracts that contain a distinct software license recognized at a point in time are allocated between the license and all other performance obligations of the contract and amortized according to the pattern of performance for the respective obligations. Otherwise, origination costs are capitalized as a single asset for each contract and amortized using an appropriate single measure of performance considering all of the performance obligations in the contract. The Company amortizes origination costs over the expected benefit period to which the deferred contract cost relates. Origination costs related to initial contracts with a customer are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the solution or the expected

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

customer relationship period. Commissions paid on renewals are amortized over the renewal period. Capitalized fulfillment costs are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the solution or the expected customer relationship period.

(3) Changes in Accounting Policies

The Company adopted Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, with a date of initial application of January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for revenue recognition. The details of the significant changes and quantitative impact of the changes are disclosed below.

The Company applied Topic 606 retrospectively using certain practical expedients in paragraph 606-10-65-1(f). For completed contracts that have variable consideration, the Company used the transaction price at the date the contract was completed rather than estimating variable consideration amounts in the comparative reporting periods. Further, the Company did not disclose the amount of consideration allocated to the remaining performance obligations or an explanation of when the Company expects to recognize that amount as revenue for the 2017 interim reporting periods presented before the date of the initial application. Lastly, the Company did not retrospectively restate contracts modified before the beginning of the earliest reporting period presented but reflects the aggregate effect of all modifications that occurred before the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Principal vs. Agent Considerations

In customer transactions that also involve third parties, the Company determines whether it is responsible for providing the ultimate solution or service as a principal, or whether it is merely arranging for the solution or service to be provided by the third party as an agent. When the Company is acting as a principal in a transaction, the Company recognizes the gross amounts billed as revenue. When the Company is acting as an agent in a transaction, the Company recognizes the net amount retained as revenue. Previously, the Company followed the guidance of Topic 605, which lists eight specific indicators that are determinative in evaluating whether a contract is recorded on a gross or a net basis. Under Topic 606, the determination is based on whether an entity obtains control of goods or services prior to transfer to a customer. The Company determined interchange and third-party network fees associated with certain parts of the payment processing business were significantly impacted by the adoption of Topic 606. Previously, gross accounting applied to certain types of these transactions, depending on the specific facts and circumstances. However, under Topic 606 revenue from these arrangements will be presented on a net basis because the Company has concluded that it is acting as an agent in the transaction.

Software License Rentals

The Company previously recognized revenue for initial license fees only when a contract existed, the fee was fixed or determinable, software delivery had occurred, collection was deemed probable, and vendor specific objective evidence of fair value had been established for any undelivered elements in the arrangement. If those criteria were not met, the initial license revenue was either deferred or recognized over time depending on the specific facts and circumstances. Software license rentals typically include payments that are delayed for a period of time, causing the Company to conclude that some portion of the license fee was not fixed or determinable. In these arrangements, license revenue would be deferred until payments become due and payable. Under Topic 606, the Company’s software licenses are generally considered distinct performance obligations, and revenue allocated to the software license is typically recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the license. Software license revenue is also typically recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the license under Topic 606 even if it is sold in a rental model or with extended payment terms, provided collectability is probable. Accordingly, a larger portion of software license revenue is recognized upfront for such transactions under Topic 606 than under Topic 605.

Term License Early Renewals

The Company previously recognized revenue for term software license renewals upon execution of a license renewal contract, provided all other revenue recognition requirements were met. Under Topic 606, revenue attributable to software term license renewals is now recognized at a later date than it would have been recognized under the previous accounting policy.

Contract Balances

The following table provides information about trade receivables, contract assets, and deferred revenue from contracts with customers (in millions).



	As of
	September 30,		December 31,
	2018		2017
			As adjusted

Trade receivables	$	1,398	$	1,624
Contract assets (current)	115		108
Contract assets (non-current), included in other noncurrent assets	96		118
Deferred revenue (current)	692		776
Deferred revenue (non-current)	61		106

The payment terms and conditions in our customer contracts may vary. In some cases, customers pay in advance of our delivery of solutions or services; in other cases, payment is due as services are performed or in arrears following the delivery of the solutions or services. Differences in timing between revenue recognition and invoicing result in accrued trade receivables, contract assets, or deferred revenue on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited). Receivables are accrued when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing but the right to payment is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required). This occurs most commonly when software term licenses recognized at a point in time are paid for periodically over the license term. Contract assets result when amounts allocated to distinct performance obligations are recognized when or as control of a solution or service is transferred to the customer but invoicing is contingent on performance of other performance

obligations or on completion of contractual milestones. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional, typically upon invoicing of the related performance obligations in the contract or upon achieving the requisite project milestone. Deferred revenue results from customer payments in advance of our satisfaction of the associated performance obligation(s) and relates primarily to prepaid maintenance or other recurring services. Deferred revenue is relieved as revenue is recognized. Contract assets and deferred revenue are reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the contract assets and deferred revenue balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were not materially impacted by any factors other than those described above.

The Company recognized revenue of $178 million and $185 million during the three months and $629 million and $598 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, that was included in the corresponding deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the periods.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, amounts recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in prior periods were insignificant.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of September 30, 2018, approximately $19.5 billion of revenue is estimated to be recognized in the future from the Company’s remaining unfulfilled performance obligations, which are primarily comprised of recurring account- and volume-based processing services. This excludes the amount of anticipated recurring renewals not yet contractually obligated. The Company expects to recognize approximately 35% of our remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, approximately another 25% over the next 13 to 24 months, and the balance thereafter.

Settlement Activity

We manage certain integrated electronic payment services and programs and wealth management processes for our clients that require us to hold and manage client cash balances used to fund their daily settlement activity. Settlement deposits represent funds we hold that were drawn from our clients to facilitate settlement activities. Settlement receivables represent amounts funded by us. Settlement payables consist of settlement deposits from clients, settlement payables to third parties, and outstanding checks related to our settlement activities for which the right of offset does not exist or we do not intend to exercise our right of offset. Our accounting policy for such outstanding checks is to include them in settlement payables on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited) and operating cash flows on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited).

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be used for general corporate purposes, including backstopping any Notes that FIS may issue under the Commercial Paper Program described below. As of September 30, 2018, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility was $582 million, with $3,412 million of borrowing capacity remaining thereunder (net of $6 million in outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility).

On September 21, 2018, FIS established a U.S. commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”) for the issuance and sale of senior, unsecured commercial paper notes (the “Notes”), up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $4.0 billion. The Notes will have maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. The proceeds of the Notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2018, there were no outstanding Notes under the Commercial Paper Program.

The obligations of FIS under the FIS Credit Agreement, Commercial Paper Program and under all of its outstanding senior notes rank equal in priority and are unsecured. The FIS Credit Agreement and the senior notes are subject to customary

~~(2)~~	Interest on the Revolving Loan is generally payable at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of up to 1.75% plus an unused commitment fee of up to 0.25%, each based upon the Company's corporate credit ratings. As of September 30, 2017, the weighted average interest rate on the Revolving Loan, excluding fees, was 2.60%.

~~FIS has a syndicated credit agreement (the "FIS Credit Agreement") that~~ provides total committed capital of $3,000 million in the form of a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Loan") maturing on August 10, 2021. As of September 30, 2017, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan was $568 million, with $2,425 million of borrowing capacity remaining thereunder (net of $7 million in outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Loan).

The obligations of FIS under the FIS Credit Agreement and under all of its outstanding senior notes rank equal in priority and are unsecured. The FIS Credit Agreement and the senior notes remain subject to customary covenants, including, among others, limitations under the FIS Credit Agreement on the payment of dividends by FIS, and customary events of default.

On March 15, 2017, FIS redeemed 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of its $700 million 5.000% Senior Notes due March 2022 (the "March 2022 Notes"). On February 1, 2017, the Company also paid down the outstanding balance on the syndicated term loan agreement ("2018 Term Loans"). The redemption of the March 2022 Notes and the repayment of the 2018 Term Loans were funded by borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and cash proceeds from the sale of the Public Sector and Education business. As a result of the redemption of the March 2022 Notes and the repayment of the 2018 Term Loans, FIS incurred a pre-tax charge of approximately $25 million consisting of the call premium on the March 2022 Notes and the write-off of previously capitalized debt issuance costs.

On July 10, 2017, FIS issued €1,000 million and £300 million principal amount of ~~new~~ senior notes in an inaugural European bond offering. The ~~new~~ senior notes include €500 million of Senior Notes due in 2021 ~~(the “2021 Euro Notes”)~~ that bear interest at 0.400%, £300 million of Senior Notes due in 2022 ~~(the “2022 GBP Notes”)~~ that bear interest at 1.700% and €500 million of Senior Notes due in 2024 ~~(the “2024 Euro Notes”)~~ that bear interest at 1.100%. Net proceeds from the offering, after deducting discounts and underwriting fees, were $1,491 million using a conversion rate of 1.12 EUR/USD and 1.27 GBP/USD. ~~The new senior notes include covenants and events of default customary for similar debt obligations.~~

On July 25, 2017, pursuant to cash tender offers ("Tender Offers"), FIS repurchased approximately $2,000 million in aggregate principal amount of debt securities with a weighted average coupon of approximately 4%. The following approximate amounts of ~~FIS's~~FIS' debt securities were repurchased: $600 million of its 3.625% notes due 2020, $600 million of its 5.000% notes due 2025, $200 million of its 4.500% notes due 2022, $300 million of its 3.875% notes due 2024 and $300 million of its 3.500% notes due 2023. The Company funded the Tender Offers with proceeds from the European bond offering and borrowings on its Revolving ~~Loan,~~Credit Facility, approximately $469 million of which were almost immediately repaid with proceeds from

the sale of a majority ownership stake in the Capco consulting business and risk and compliance consulting business, which was completed on July 31, 2017 (see Note 9)12). FIS paid approximately $150 million in tender premiums to par to purchase the notes in the Tender ~~Offers.~~

~~During the third quarter of 2017, due to the issuance of the 2021~~Offers and 2024 Euro Notes and 2022 GBP Notes, FIS recorded approximately $13 million of deferred financing costs, which will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes. Also, as a result of the Tender Offers above, FIS incurred a pre-tax charge upon extinguishment of approximately $167 million in tender premiums, the write-off of previously capitalized debt issue costs and other direct costs.

On ~~March~~May 16, 2018, FIS issued $1,000 million principal amount of new senior notes, including $400 million of Senior Notes due in 2028 that bear interest at 4.250% and $600 million of Senior Notes due in 2048 that bear interest at 4.750%. Net proceeds from the offering, after deducting discounts and underwriting fees, were $979 million. FIS used the proceeds to partially repay its Revolving Credit Facility.

On June 15, ~~2017,~~2018, FIS redeemed 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of its ~~$700~~$750 million ~~5.000%~~2.850% Senior Notes due March 2022 (the "Notes"). On February 1, 2017, the Company also paid down the outstanding balance on the 2018 Term Loans. The Notes and 2018 Term Loans were funded by borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Loan and cash proceeds from the sale of the Public Sector and Education ("PS&E") business.October 2018. As a result of the redemption, ~~of the Notes and the pay down of the 2018 Term Loans,~~ FIS incurred a pre-tax charge of approximately ~~$25~~$1 million consisting of the call premium ~~on the Notes~~ and the write-off of previously capitalized debt issuance ~~costs.~~

Net Investment Hedges

In June 2017, the Company entered into two ~~Euro denominated~~Euro-denominated foreign currency exchange forward contracts totaling €999 million and a ~~GBP denominated~~GBP-denominated foreign currency exchange forward contract of £298 million, which were designated as a net investment hedge of its investment in Euro and GBP denominated operations, respectively, ~~which has a functional currency of the Euro and GBP,~~ in order to reduce the volatility in the income statement caused by the changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro and GBP with respect to the U.S. dollar.

In July 2017, the forward contracts above were terminated and the Company designated its Euro-denominated Senior Notes due 2021 (€500 million) and Senior Notes due 2024 (€500 million) and GBP-denominated Senior Notes due 2022 (£300 million) as a net investment hedge of its investment in Euro and GBP denominated operations, respectively, ~~which has a functional currency of the Euro and GBP,~~ in order to reduce the volatility in the income statement caused by the changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro and GBP with respect to the U.S. dollar.

(9) Commitments and Contingencies

~~Litigation~~

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various pending and threatened litigation matters related to operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. The Company believes at this time that no actions depart from customary litigation incidental to its business.

The Company reviews all of its litigation on an on-going basis and follows the authoritative provisions for accounting for contingencies when making accrual and disclosure decisions. A liability must be accrued if (a) it is probable that a liability has been incurred and (b) the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If one of these criteria has not been met, disclosure is required when there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss may be incurred. When assessing reasonably possible and probable outcomes, the Company bases decisions on the assessment of the ultimate outcome following all appeals. Legal fees associated with defending litigation matters are expensed as incurred.

Reliance Trust Claims

Reliance Trust Company (“Reliance”), the Company’s subsidiary, is named as a defendant in a class action arising out of its provision of services as the discretionary trustee for a 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) for one of its customers. Plaintiffs in the action seek damages and attorneys’ fees, as well as equitable relief, on behalf of Plan participants for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and prohibited transactions under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The action also makes claims against the Plan's sponsor and ~~recordkeeper.~~record-keeper. Reliance ~~Trust Company~~ is vigorously defending the action and believes that it has meritorious defenses. Pre-trial discovery has now been completed. Reliance contends that no breaches of fiduciary duty or prohibited transactions occurred and that the Plan suffered no damages. Plaintiffs allege damages of approximately $125 million. While we are unable at this time to estimate more precisely the potential loss or range of loss because of unresolved questions of fact and law, we believe that the ultimate resolution of the matter will not have a material impact on our financial ~~condition, we are unable at~~condition. We do not believe a liability for this ~~time to make an estimate of potential losses arising from the~~ action ~~because the matter~~ is ~~at an early stage~~probable and, ~~involves unresolved questions of fact and law.~~

therefore, have not recorded a liability for this action.

Brazilian Tax Authorities Claims

In 2004, Proservvi Empreendimentos e Servicos, Ltda., the predecessor to Fidelity National Servicos de Tratamento de Documentos e Informatica Ltda. (“Servicos”), a subsidiary of Fidelity National Participacoes Ltda., our former item processing and remittance services operation in Brazil, acquired certain assets and employees and leased certain facilities from the Transpev Group (“Transpev”) in Brazil. Transpev’s remaining assets were later acquired by Prosegur, an unrelated third party. When Transpev discontinued its operations after the asset sale to Prosegur, it had unpaid federal taxes and social contributions owing to the Brazilian tax authorities. The Brazilian tax authorities brought a claim against Transpev and beginning in 2012 brought claims against Prosegur and Servicos on the grounds that Prosegur and Servicos were successors in interest to Transpev. To date, the Brazilian tax authorities filed 11 claims against Servicos asserting potential tax liabilities of approximately ~~$15~~$13 million. There are potentially 2326 additional claims against Transpev/Prosegur for which Servicos is named as a co-defendant or may be named, but for which Servicos has not yet been served. These additional claims amount to approximately ~~$56~~$51 million making the total potential exposure for all 3437 claims approximately ~~$71~~$64 million. We do not believe a liability for these 3437 total claims is probable and, therefore, have not recorded a liability for any of these claims.

Acquired Contingencies (SunGard)

The Company became responsible for certain contingencies which were assumed in the SunGard acquisition. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as of September 30, ~~2017~~2018 includes ~~a liability~~liabilities of ~~$89~~$66 million ~~mostly~~largely related to ~~unclaimed property examinations and~~ tax compliance matters.

Indemnifications and Warranties

The Company generally indemnifies its clients, subject to certain limitations and exceptions, against damages and costs resulting from claims of patent, copyright, or trademark infringement associated solely with its customers' use of the Company's software applications or services. Historically, the Company has not made any material payments under such indemnifications, but continues to monitor the conditions that are subject to the indemnifications to identify whether it is probable that a loss has occurred, and would recognize any such losses when they are estimable. In addition, the Company warrants to customers that its software operates substantially in accordance with the software specifications. Historically, no material costs have been incurred related to software warranties and no accruals for warranty costs have been made.

~~(9)~~(12) Divestitures

On July 31, 2017, FIS closed on the sale of a majority ownership stake in its Capco consulting business and risk and compliance consulting business to CD&R for cash proceeds of approximately $469 million, resulting in a pre-tax loss of approximately $41 million. The divestiture is consistent with our strategy to focus on our IP-led businesses. CD&R acquired preferred units convertible into 60% of the common units of ~~the venture~~Cardinal and FIS obtained common units representing the remaining 40%, in each case before equity is issued to management. The preferred units are entitled to a quarterly dividend at an annual rate of 12%, payable in cash (if available) or additional preferred units at FIS' option. The businesses sold were included within the GFS and IFS segments. ~~As a result of the sale the Company recorded a pre-tax loss of approximately $41 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017.~~ The sale did not meet the standard necessary to be reported as discontinued operations; therefore, the pre-tax loss and related prior period earnings remain reported within earnings.

The divestiture is consistent with our strategy to serve the financial services markets.

~~ITEM~~Item 2. ~~MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS~~Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Item 1: Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and the Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. The statements contained in this Form 10-Q or in our other documents or in oral presentations or other statements made by our management that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about anticipated financial outcomes, including any earnings guidance of the Company, business and market conditions, outlook, foreign currency exchange rates, expected dividends and share repurchases, the Company’s sales pipeline and anticipated profitability and growth, as well as other statements about our expectations, beliefs, intentions, or strategies regarding the future are forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events and our future results and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. Any statements that refer to beliefs, expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances and other statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. In many cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology.

Actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that forward-looking statements are subject to include, without limitation:

the risk that acquired businesses will not be integrated successfully, or that the integration will be more costly or more time-consuming and complex than anticipated;

the risk that cost savings and other synergies anticipated to be realized from acquisitions may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected;

the risk of doing business internationally;

changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including the possibility of intensified international hostilities, acts of terrorism, changes in either or both the United States and international lending, capital and financial markets and currency fluctuations;

the effect of legislative initiatives or proposals, statutory changes, governmental or other applicable regulations and/or changes in industry requirements, including privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations;

the risks of reduction in revenue from the elimination of existing and potential customers due to consolidation in, or new laws or regulations affecting, the banking, retail and financial services industries or due to financial failures or other setbacks suffered by firms in those industries;

changes in the growth rates of the markets for our solutions;

failures to adapt our solutions to changes in technology or in the marketplace;

internal or external security breaches of our systems, including those relating to unauthorized access, theft, corruption or loss of personal information and computer viruses and other malware affecting our software or platforms, and the reactions of customers, card associations, government regulators and others to any such events;

the risk that implementation of software (including software updates) for customers or at customer locations or employee error in monitoring our software and platforms may result in the corruption or loss of data or customer information, interruption of business operations, outages, exposure to liability claims or loss of customers;

the reaction of current and potential customers to communications from us or regulators regarding information security, risk management, internal audit or other matters;

competitive pressures on pricing related to the decreasing number of community banks in the U.S., the development of new disruptive technologies competing with one or more of our solutions, increasing presence of international competitors in the U.S. market and the entry into the market by global banks and global companies with respect to certain competitive solutions, each of which may have the impact of unbundling individual solutions from a comprehensive suite of solutions we provide to many of our customers;

the failure to innovate in order to keep up with new emerging technologies, which could impact our solutions ~~including the~~and our ability to attract new, or retain existing, customers;

the failure to meet financial goals to grow the business in Brazil after the unwinding of the Brazilian Venture;

the risks of reduction in revenue from the loss of existing and/or potential customers in Brazil after the unwinding of the Brazilian Venture;

an operational or natural disaster at one of our major operations centers; and

other risks detailed elsewhere in this document orand in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, we do not undertake (and expressly disclaim) any obligation and do not intend to publicly update or review any of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should carefully consider the possibility that actual results may differ materially from our forward-looking statements.

Overview

FIS is a global leader in financial services technology with a focus on retail and institutional banking, payments, asset management and wealth ~~management,~~and retirement, risk and compliance and outsourcing solutions. Through the depth and breadth of our solutions portfolio, global capabilities and domain expertise, FIS serves more than 20,000 clients in over 130 countries. Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, FIS employs more than ~~53,000~~52,000 people worldwide and holds leadership positions in payment processing, financial software and banking solutions. Providing software, services and outsourcing of the technology that empowers the financial world, FIS is a Fortune 500 company and is a member of the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index.

We have grown organically as well as through acquisitions, which have contributed critical applications and services that complement or enhance our existing offerings, diversifying our ~~revenues~~revenue by customer, geography and service offering. The completion of the SunGard acquisition on November 30, 2015 increased our existing portfolio to include solutions that automate a wide range of complex business processes for financial services institutions and corporate and government treasury departments.

FIS reports its financial performance based on three segments: Integrated Financial Solutions (“IFS”), Global Financial Solutions (“GFS”) and Corporate and Other. A description of these segments is included in Note 1013 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ~~(unaudited)~~(Unaudited). ~~Revenues~~Revenue by segment and the adjusted EBITDA of our segments are discussed below in Segment Results of Operations.

Business Trends and Conditions

Our revenue is primarily derived from a combination of recurring technology and processing services, professional services and software license fees. The majority of our revenue has historically been recurring and has been provided under multi-year contracts that contribute relative stability to our revenue stream. These services, in general, are considered critical to our clients' operations. A considerable portion of ~~these~~our recurring ~~revenues~~revenue is derived from transaction processing fees that fluctuate with the level of accounts and card transactions, among other variable measures, associated with consumer, commercial and capital ~~markets.~~markets activity. Professional services ~~revenues are~~revenue is typically non-recurring, and sales of software licenses are less predictable, a portion of which can be regarded as discretionary spending by our clients. In 2016, macroeconomic challenges of a slowing global economy, as well as unique events such as Brexit, affected our clients by predominantly delaying their buying decisions of consulting and professional services in certain markets.

The SunGard acquisition broadened our solution portfolio, enabling us to expand beyond our traditional banking and payments markets into the institutional and wholesale side of financial institutions as well as other capital markets organizations. It also significantly expanded our existing solutions and client base in wealth ~~management,~~and retirement, treasury and corporate payments. These solutions are in demand among our regional and community financial institution clients as they look for ways to replace highly regulated fee ~~revenues.~~revenue. The combination also favorably impacted our revenue mix, with a greater concentration of license ~~revenues~~revenue and higher margin services. ~~As we continue to integrate~~Through the integration of SunGard into our existing operations, we ~~anticipate~~achieved significant cost savings around administration and technology expenses and ~~expect to exit~~exited 2017 with a cost synergy run-rate savings exceeding $325 million.

We are actively migrating many financial institutions to outsourced integrated technology solutions to improve their profitability and address increasing and ~~on-going~~ongoing regulatory requirements. As a provider of outsourcing solutions, we benefit from multi-year recurring revenue streams, which help moderate the effects of broader year-to-year economic and market changes that otherwise might have a larger impact on our results of operations. We believe our integrated solutions and outsourced services are well-positioned to address this outsourcing trend across the markets we serve.

Consumer preference continues to shift from traditional branch banking services to digital banking solutions, and our clients seek to provide a single integrated banking experience through their branch, mobile, internet and voice-banking channels. We are focused on enabling our clients to deliver this experience to their customers through our integrated solutions

and services. We continue to innovate and invest in these integrated solutions and services to assist clients as they address this

market demand. This is an area of ~~on-going~~ongoing competition from global banks, international providers and disruptive technology innovators.

We continue to see demand for innovative solutions in the payments market that will deliver faster, more convenient payment solutions in mobile channels, internet applications and cards. We believe digital payments will grow and partially replace existing payment tender volumes over time as consumers and merchants embrace the convenience, incremental services and benefits. ~~Digital payment volume is growing significantly but does not yet represent a meaningful amount of the payments market.~~ Additionally, new formidable non-traditional payments competitors and large merchants are investing in and innovating digital payment technologies to address the emerging market opportunity, and it is unclear the extent to which particular technologies or services will succeed. We believe the growth of digital payments continues to present both an opportunity and a risk to us as the market develops. Although we cannot predict which digital payment technologies or solutions will be successful, we cautiously believe our client relationships, payments infrastructure and experience, adapted solutions and emerging solutions are well-positioned to maintain or grow our clients' existing payment volumes, which is our focus.

High profile North American merchant payment card information security breaches have pushed the payment card industry towards EMV integrated circuit cards as financial institutions, card networks and merchants seek to improve information security and reduce fraud costs. We invested in our card management solutions and card manufacturing and processing capabilities to accommodate EMV integrated circuit cards so we can continue to guide our clients through this technology transition and grow our card-driven businesses. ~~We believe~~A large portion of the ~~trend to migrate~~migration to EMV ~~cards~~is complete. The remaining portion will continue ~~but at a slower volume and pace.~~as financial institutions issue replacement cards.

We anticipate consolidation within the banking industry will continue, primarily in the form of merger and acquisition activity, which we believe as a whole is detrimental to our business. However, consolidation resulting from specific merger and acquisition transactions may be beneficial to our business. When consolidations of financial institutions occur, merger partners often operate systems obtained from competing service providers. The newly formed entity generally makes a determination to migrate its core and payments systems to a single platform. When a financial institution processing client is involved in a consolidation, we may benefit by their expanding the use of our services if such services are chosen to survive the consolidation and support the newly combined entity. Conversely, we may lose revenue if we are providing services to both entities, or if a client of ours is involved in a consolidation and our services are not chosen to survive the consolidation and support the newly combined entity. It is also possible that larger financial institutions resulting from consolidation may have greater leverage in negotiating terms or could decide to perform in-house some or all of the services that we currently provide or could provide. We seek to mitigate the risks of consolidations by offering other competitive services to take advantage of specific opportunities at the surviving company.

Notwithstanding challenging global economic conditions, our ongoing international business continued to experience growth in the first nine months of 2018 on a constant currency basis. Demand for our solutions ~~will~~may also continue to be driven in developing countries by government-led financial inclusion policies aiming to reduce the unbanked population and by growth in the middle classes in these markets driving the need for more sophisticated banking solutions. For the full year of 2018, we anticipate an approximate $55 million adverse impact to revenue due to foreign currency translation.

On September 28, 2018, FIS entered into an agreement with Banco Bradesco to unwind the Brazilian Venture. Under this agreement, the Brazilian Venture will spin-off certain assets of the business that also provide services to non-Bradesco clients to a new wholly-owned FIS subsidiary. The ~~majority~~subsidiary will enter into a long-term commercial agreement to provide current and new services to Banco Bradesco that include software application licensing and management, card portfolio migration, business process outsourcing, fraud management and professional services. Banco Bradesco will then own 100% of ~~our European revenue is generated by clients~~the entity that previously housed the Brazilian Venture and its remaining assets that relate to card processing for Banco Bradesco, which Banco Bradesco will thereafter perform internally. FIS expects to complete the transaction in the ~~United Kingdom, France~~first half of 2019. Post-closing, the transaction is expected to result in an annualized reduction in FIS’ reported revenue of approximately $200 million with minimal impact to its net earnings. In addition, it resulted in impairment charges of $95 million in the third quarter of 2018. The transaction is subject to Brazilian regulatory approval and ~~Germany. In 2016, we experienced adverse currency impacts~~FIS expects to complete the transaction in the first half of 2019.

Risk Factors included in ~~part to Brexit. In 2017, we have experienced minimal foreign currency impacts.~~Part II in this report on Form 10-Q.

Globally, attacks on information technology systems continue to grow in frequency, complexity and sophistication. This is a trend we expect to continue. Such attacks have become a point of focus for individuals, businesses and governmental entities. The objectives of these attacks include, among other things, gaining unauthorized access to systems to facilitate financial fraud, disrupt operations, cause denial of service events, corrupt data, and steal non-public information. These circumstances present both a threat and an opportunity for FIS. As part of our business, we electronically receive, process, store and transmit a wide

range of confidential information, including sensitive customer information and personal consumer data. We also operate payment, cash access and prepaid card systems.

FIS remains focused on making strategic investments in information security to protect our clients and our information systems. This includes both capital expenditures and operating expense on hardware, software, personnel and consulting services. We also participate in industry and governmental initiatives to improve information security for our clients. Through the expertise we have gained with this ongoing focus and involvement, we have developed fraud, security, risk management and compliance solutions to target this growth opportunity in the financial services industry.

As described in Note 912 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), on July 31, 2017, we sold a majority interest in certain of our consulting businesses to affiliates of CD&R. These businesses had lower margins than

many of our other businesses. The consulting businesses sold were included within the GFS and IFS segments. Also, on ~~Feburary~~February 1, 2017, we sold our PS&E business, which had been ~~recorded~~included in our Corporate and Other segment. These divestitures affect the comparability of our results of operations for the 2018 and 2017 periods presented.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017, except for "Revenue Recognition" noted below.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue in a number of ways, including from the delivery of account- or transaction-based processing, software as a service ("SaaS"), business process as a service ("BPaaS"), cloud offerings, software licensing, software related services, and professional services. We are frequently a party to multiple concurrent contracts with the same client. These situations require judgment to determine whether the individual contracts should be combined or evaluated separately for purposes of revenue recognition. In making this determination, we consider the timing of negotiating and executing the contracts, whether the different elements of the contracts are negotiated as a package with a single commercial objective, whether the solutions or services promised in the contracts are a single performance obligation, and whether any of the payment terms of the contracts are interrelated. Our individual contracts also frequently include multiple promised solutions or services. At contract inception, we assess the solutions and services promised in our contracts with customers and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a solution or service (or bundle of solutions or services) that is distinct - i.e., if a solution or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. We must apply judgment in these circumstances in determining whether individual promised solutions or services can be considered distinct or should instead be combined with other promised solutions or services in the contract. We recognize revenue when or as we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of a solution or service to a customer. We must use judgment to determine the appropriate measure of progress for performance obligations satisfied over time and the timing of when the customer obtains control for performance obligations satisfied at a point in time. Judgment is also required in estimating and allocating variable consideration to one or more, but not all, performance obligations in a contract, determining the standalone selling prices of each performance obligation, and allocating the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation in a contract.

Due to the large number, broad nature and average size of individual contracts we are party to, the impact of judgments and assumptions that we apply in recognizing revenue for any single contract is not likely to have a material effect on our consolidated operations or financial position. However, the broader accounting policy assumptions that we apply across similar contracts or classes of clients could significantly influence the timing and amount of revenue recognized in our historical and future results of operations or financial position. Additional information about our revenue recognition policies is included in Notes 2 and 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

~~Processing~~Comparisons of three-month and ~~Services Revenues~~

~~Processing and services revenue totaled $2,198 million and $2,309 million during the three month periods and $6,794 million and $6,795 million during the nine month~~nine-month periods ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016, respectively. Processing and services revenues~~2017

Revenue

Revenue decreased ~~$111~~$12 million, or ~~4.8% and $1 million, or 0.0%~~0.6%, during the ~~three and nine month periods, respectively,~~three-month period, due to (1) the reduction in revenue from ~~the sale of the PS&E business during the first quarter of 2017 and~~ the sale of the Capco consulting business and the risk and compliance consulting business during the third quarter of ~~2017.~~2017 and (2) the sale of the Certegy Check Services business unit during the third quarter of 2018. These decreases were partially offset by ~~continued growth with our existing customers for our post-trade derivatives solutions,~~

~~volume~~(1) growth in ~~payment solutions in Brazil and Asia regions,~~retail payments; (2) increased ~~demand~~volumes in banking and wealth solutions (excluding the effects of the sale of the risk and compliance consulting business); (3) growth in ~~corporate and digital solutions driven by mobile banking, internet~~GFS banking and ~~a new business payment solution. The three~~payments solutions in North America; and ~~nine months ended September 30, 2017 also benefit from a lower purchase accounting adjustment, as compared to the 2016 periods, to reduce SunGard acquired deferred revenue to fair value.~~(4) payments growth in Latin America. Additionally, the three months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 was also ~~benefited~~impacted from a ~~$10~~$30 million ~~favorable~~unfavorable foreign currency impact primarily resulting from a ~~weaker~~stronger U.S. Dollar in ~~2017.~~ 2018 versus the Brazilian Real.

Revenue decreased $246 million, or 3.8% during the nine-month period, due to (1) the reduction in revenue from the sale of the Capco consulting business and the risk and compliance consulting business during the third quarter of 2017; (2) the reduction in revenue from the sale of the PS&E business during the first quarter of 2017; and (3) a decline in retail check processing volumes and the sale of the Certegy Check Services business unit during the third quarter of 2018. This decrease was partially offset by (1) increased volumes in banking and wealth solutions (excluding the effects of the sale of the risk and compliance consulting business); (2) growth in GFS banking and payments solutions in North America; (3) growth in corporate and digital solutions; (4) growth in retail payments; and (5) payments growth in Latin America. Additionally, the nine months

ended September 30, 2018 was also impacted by a $9 million unfavorable foreign currency impact primarily resulting from a stronger U.S. Dollar in 2018 versus the Brazilian Real.

See "Segment Results of Operations (Unaudited)" below for more detailed explanation.

Cost of ~~Revenues~~Revenue and Gross Profit

Cost of ~~revenues~~revenue totaled ~~$1,483~~$1,364 million and ~~$1,527~~$1,386 million during the three-month periods and ~~$4,677~~$4,192 million and ~~$4,680~~$4,397 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively, resulting in gross profit of ~~$715~~$720 million and ~~$782~~$710 million during the respective three-month periods and ~~$2,117~~$2,064 million and ~~$2,115~~$2,105 million during the nine-month ~~periods.~~periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of ~~revenues~~revenue was ~~32.5%~~34.5% and 33.9% during the three-month periods and ~~31.2%~~33.0% and ~~31.1%~~32.4% during the nine-month periods ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively. The change in gross profit during the ~~2017 periods~~2018 period as compared to ~~2016~~2017 primarily resulted from the revenue variances noted above. The gross profit percentage change during the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, as compared to ~~2016 is negatively impacted~~2017, was positively affected by ~~higher acquired intangible asset amortization expense resulting from~~ the ~~SunGard acquisition, partially offset by higher margin item processing solutions and the realization of ongoing expense synergies.~~Capco consulting business divestiture during 2017 as well as cost management initiatives.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled ~~$327~~$283 million and ~~$384~~$325 million during the three-month periods and ~~$1,110~~$980 million and ~~$1,250~~$1,104 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively. The year-over-year decrease is primarily driven by the sale of PS&E during the first quarter of 2017, the sale of the Capco consulting business and risk and compliance consulting business during the third quarter of 2017, ~~and integration~~the sale of Certegy Check Services business unit during the third quarter of 2018 and cost management initiatives.

Asset Impairments

During September 2018, as a result of entering into an agreement to unwind the Brazilian Venture that the Company operates with Banco Bradesco, the Company recorded pre-tax asset impairments totaling $95 million, including $42 million for the Brazilian Venture contract intangible asset, $25 million for goodwill, and $28 million for the assets being held for sale that will be transferred to Banco Bradesco upon closing of the agreement (see Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)).

Operating Income

Operating income totaled ~~$388~~$342 million and ~~$398~~$385 million during the three-month periods and ~~$1,007~~$989 million and ~~$865~~$1,001 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively. Operating income as a percentage of revenue (“operating margin”) was ~~17.7%~~16.4% and ~~17.2%~~18.4% during the three-month periods and ~~14.8%~~15.8% and ~~12.7%~~15.4% during the nine-month periods ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively. The changes in operating income for the ~~three~~three-month and ~~nine month~~nine-month periods of ~~2017~~2018 as compared to ~~2016~~2017 resulted from the variances addressed above. The ~~increase~~change in operating margin ~~resulted~~during the 2018 periods was negatively impacted by asset impairments. Excluding the asset impairments, operating margins improved primarily from ~~integration and~~ cost management initiatives and ~~revenue from higher margin item processing solutions.~~the Capco consulting business divestiture during 2017.

Total Other Income (Expense), Net

Total other income (expense), net was $(266) million and $(104) million during the three-month periods and $(390) million and $(292) million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Interest expense is typically the primary component of total other income (expense),; however, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, other income (expense) was also a significant component.

The decrease of $4 million and $42 million in interest expense during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the 2017 periods is primarily due to a lower weighted average interest rate on the outstanding debt.

Other income (expense) net decreased $124 million for the three-month periods and $63 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the 2017 periods. Other income (expense) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes a pre-tax loss of $54 million on the sale of the Certegy Check Services business unit. Other income (expense) net for the ~~three and nine months~~three-month period ended September 30, 2017, includes a pre-tax loss of $33 million on the sale of the Capco consulting and risk and compliance business and other divestitures and a pre-tax charge of $167 million in tender premiums and the write-off of previously capitalized debt issuance costs on the repurchase of approximately $2,000 million in aggregate principal of debt securities. Additionally, the nine months ended September 30, 2017 also ~~includes~~include a ~~pre-tax~~pre-

tax gain of $85 million on the sale of the PS&E business and a pre-tax charge of approximately $25 million due to the redemption of the Senior Notes due March 2022 and the pay down of the 2018 Term Loans, consisting of the call premium on the Senior Notes due March 2022 and the write-off of previously capitalized debt issuance costs.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Income tax expense ~~from continuing operations~~ totaled ~~$51~~$37 million and ~~$103~~$50 million during the three-month periods and ~~$262~~$122 million and ~~$200~~$260 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, resulting in effective tax rates ~~from continuing operations~~ of ~~42%~~18% and ~~35%~~42% for the ~~three month~~three-month periods and ~~42%~~17% and ~~35%~~43% for the the nine-month periods, respectively. The 2018 effective tax rate includes the impact of the reduction in the U.S. federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% due to tax reform enacted December 22, 2017. In addition to the federal tax rate of 35% for 2017, the 2017 effective tax rates include the impact of the write-off of goodwill with no tax basis in connection with the ~~sales~~sale of our PS&E ~~business and consulting~~ business and additional taxes related to book basis in the units of Cardinal in excess of tax ~~basis, partially offset by the tax benefit for the deduction of share based payment awards where the tax deduction exceeded the compensation cost for financial reporting purposes.~~basis.

The Company included provisional amounts in its December 31, 2017 annual financial statements for certain tax reform items. These items were provisional as the data necessary for their completion was not fully available. As the amounts are finalized during the measurement period, the required adjustments, if any, will be recorded in the quarter when the final amount is determined.

Equity Method Investment Earnings (Loss)

On July 31, 2017, FIS obtained a minority equity interest in Cardinal as further described in Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited). We recorded losses from ~~Continuing Operations,~~ this equity method investment totaling $4 million and $11 million during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Net ~~of Tax,~~Earnings Attributable to FIS Common Stockholders

~~Earnings from continuing operations, net of tax,~~Net earnings attributable to FIS common stockholders totaled ~~$61~~$154 million and ~~$185~~$59 million resulting in earnings per diluted share of ~~$0.18~~$0.47 and ~~$0.56~~$0.18 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and ~~$331~~2017, respectively, and $548 million and ~~$360~~$327 million resulting in earnings per diluted share of ~~$0.99~~$1.65 and ~~$1.09~~$0.98 for the ~~nine-months~~nine-month periods ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively. These results reflect the variances described above.

Segment Results of Operations (Unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (defined as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax provision (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, including amortization of purchased intangibles), plus certain non-operating items. This measure is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to our segments, is presented in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280, "Segment ~~Reporting".~~Reporting." The non-operating items affecting the segment profit measure generally include acquisition accounting ~~adjustments,~~adjustments; acquisition, integration and ~~severance costs,~~certain other costs; and ~~restructuring expenses.~~asset impairments. For consolidated reporting purposes, these costs and adjustments are recorded in the Corporate and Other segment for the periods discussed below. Adjusted EBITDA for the respective segments excludes the foregoing costs and adjustments. Financial information, including details of our adjustments to EBITDA, for each of our segments is set forth in Note 1013 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in Part I of this Quarterly Report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements

Our ongoing cash requirements include operating expenses, income taxes, mandatory debt service payments, capital expenditures, stockholder dividends, working capital and timing differences in settlement-related assets and liabilities, and may include discretionary debt ~~payments,~~repayments, share repurchases and business acquisitions. Our principal sources of funds are cash generated by operations and borrowings, including the capacity under our Revolving ~~Loan~~Credit Facility and the Commercial Paper Program described in Note ~~4 to~~7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

As of September 30, ~~2017~~2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$720~~$632 million and long-term debt of ~~$9.1~~$9.0 billion, including the current portion, net of capitalized debt issuance costs. Of the ~~$720~~$632 million cash and cash equivalents, approximately ~~$518~~$367 million is held by our foreign ~~entities and would generally be subject to U.S. income taxation upon repatriation to the U.S.~~entities. The majority of our ~~U.S.~~domestic cash and cash equivalents represents net deposits-in-transit at the balance sheet dates and relates to daily settlement activity. We expect that cash and cash equivalents plus cash flows from operations over the next ~~twelve~~12 months will be sufficient to fund our operating cash requirements, capital expenditures and mandatory debt service.

We currently expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends. However, the amount, declaration and payment of future dividends is at the discretion of ~~the~~our Board of Directors and depends on, among other things, our investment opportunities, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors that may be considered relevant by our Board of Directors, including legal and contractual restrictions. Additionally, the payment of cash dividends may be limited by covenants in certain debt agreements. A regular quarterly dividend of ~~$0.29~~$0.32 per common share ~~will be~~was paid on ~~December 29, 2017~~September 28, 2018 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on ~~December 15, 2017.~~September 14, 2018.

On July 20, 2017 our Board of Directors approved a plan authorizing repurchases of up to $4.0 billion of our outstanding common stock in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions through December 31, 2020. This share repurchase authorization replaced any existing share repurchase authorization.

Cash Flows from Operations

Cash flows from operations were ~~$1,079~~$1,288 million and ~~$1,342~~$1,079 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively. Our net cash provided by operating activities consists primarily of net earnings, adjusted to add back depreciation and amortization. Cash flows from operations were ~~$263~~$209 million ~~lower~~higher in the ~~2017~~2018 period primarily due to (1) higher net earnings during 2018 due to the impact of the reduction in the U.S. federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% due to tax reform enacted December 22, 2017 resulting in lower U.S. federal income tax payments onand (2) lower trade receivables from increased collections resulting from a reduction in days sales outstanding. These increases were partially offset by U.S. federal estimated income tax payments normally due in the ~~gain realized on~~third and fourth quarters of 2017 that were paid during the ~~sale~~first quarter of ~~PS&E.~~2018 due to the Hurricane Irma Relief Program and timing of working capital.

Capital Expenditures and Other Investing Activities

Our principal capital expenditures are for computer software (purchased and internally developed) and additions to property and equipment. We invested approximately ~~$448~~$464 million and ~~$446~~$448 million in capital expenditures (excluding capital leases) during the nine-month periods ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments" ("ASU 2015-16"). ASU 2015-16 requires adjustments to provisional amounts initially recorded in a business combination that are identified during the measurement period to be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. This includes any effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 also requires an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. Prior to the issuance of the standard, entities were required to retrospectively apply adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination. The guidance is effective for the fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015. This guidance requires FIS to record and disclose any measurement-period adjustments for the SunGard acquisition or other future business combinations as current period adjustments as opposed to retroactive adjustments to the opening balance sheet of the acquired entity.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 ("ASU 2015-17"), "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes". The amendment is intended to simplify the presentation of deferred taxes on the balance sheet. Under the new guidance, deferred tax assets and liabilities are to be classified as non-current assets and liabilities. This replaces the current guidance, which requires the deferred tax assets and liabilities to be presented as current and non-current. For public companies, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Thus, ASU 2015-17 was effective for FIS as of January 1, 2017. FIS applied prospectively the recording of deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current and therefore, prior periods have not been adjusted.

On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 (“ASU 2016-09”), “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The amendments were intended to simplify and improve the accounting for employee share-based payments. Under the new guidance, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies over/under compensation expense recognized will be reflected in the income statement as they occur. This will replace the prior guidance, which required tax benefits that exceed compensation expense (windfalls) to be recognized in equity. It also eliminates the need to maintain a “windfall pool,” and removes the requirement to delay recognizing a windfall until it reduces current taxes payable. The new guidance also changes the cash flow presentation of excess tax benefits, classifying them as operating inflows, consistent with other cash flows related to income taxes. Under prior guidance, windfalls were classified as financing activities. These changes may result in more volatile net earnings. Similarly, effective tax rates are subject to more variability since the new guidance reflects all tax benefit excesses and deficiencies in tax expense. Under prior practice, stock compensation generally did not impact the effective tax rate since any difference between compensation expense and the ultimate tax deduction was reflected in additional paid in capital. Also under the new guidance, excess tax benefits are no longer to be included in assumed proceeds from applying the treasury stock method when computing diluted earnings per share since they no longer are recognized in additional paid in capital. Consequently, the reduction to common stock equivalents for assumed purchases from proceeds are lower and the impact of common stock equivalents are more dilutive. For public companies, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Thus, ASU 2016-09 was effective for FIS as of January 1, 2017. FIS applied prospectively the recording of excess tax benefits as income tax expense and the presentation of those benefits as an operating activity within the statement of cash flows and, therefore, prior periods have not been adjusted. During 2016, 2015 and 2014, we recorded $32 million, $29 million and $40 million, respectively, to consolidated equity as excess tax benefits from our stock plans.

On August ~~26,~~ 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 (“ASU ~~2016-15"~~2016-15”), “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The amendments are meant to reduce the diversity in how certain

cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 provides guidance as to the presentation on the statement of cash flows for eight specific cash flow issues, which are 1) debt prepayment for debt extinguishment costs, 2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, 3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, 4) proceeds for the settlement of insurance claims, 5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, 6) distributions received from equity method investees, 7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and 8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. For public companies, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any organization in any interim or annual period. FIS ~~has~~ elected to adopt this standard in the ~~current quarter.~~third quarter of 2017. FIS has applied the presentation guidance above to its statements of cash flows and all adjustments have been reflected on a retrospecive basis. The primary impact of adopting the new guidance is our 2017 presentation of debt prepayment and related costs being reflected in financing activities rather than operating activities. ~~This~~

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12 (“ASU 2017-12”), “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” The amendments were meant to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. The amendments in this update also make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; the ASU allows for early adoption ~~impacts~~in any interim period after issuance of the update. FIS elected to adopt this

standard as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07 (“ASU 2017-07”), “Compensation - Retirement Benefits.” The ASU improves the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the statements of operations. Under ASU 2017-07, the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost is disclosed in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period, and the other components are reported separately from the line item that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income. ASU 2017-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. FIS adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-07 as of January 1, 2018. There was no material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) resulting from the adoption of this guidance.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 (“ASU 2016-18”), “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.” ASU 2016-18requires companies to include restricted amounts with Cash and cash ~~flows but~~equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period total amounts shown on the Statements of Cash Flows. FIS adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-18 as of January 1, 2018. FIS had no ~~impact~~restricted cash during 2017 or 2018. As a result, there was no effect on ~~2016.~~the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

~~Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted~~

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 (“ASU 2016-01”), “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 amends guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, including significant revisions in accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities when the fair value option is elected. The amendment requires equity securities to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through net earnings and amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. In the period of adoption, the Company is required to reclassify the unrealized gains/losses on equity securities within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-03, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10),”which clarified certain aspects of the previously issued ASU. FIS adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2018. As a result, there was no material effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ~~(“ASU 2014-09”).~~ ASU 2014-09 amends substantially all authoritative literature for revenue recognition, including industry-specific requirements, and converges the guidance under this topic with that of the International Financial Reporting Standards. It also includes guidance on accounting for the incremental costs of obtaining and costs incurred to fulfill a contract with a customer. The ASU implements a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards. The amendment also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of ~~revenues~~revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers. The FASB has issued several amendments to Topic 606, including further guidance on principal versus agent consideration, clarification on identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property.

The effective date of the standard was postponed to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption allowed for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We ~~will adopt~~adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018.

Entities can transition to the standard with retrospective application to the earliest years presented in their financial statements, ~~retrospective~~retrospectively using certain practical expedients, or with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We ~~currently anticipate adopting~~adopted the new standard using the retrospective method with the application of certain practical expedients.

~~Overall, we do not anticipate~~The largest impacts from the adoption of ~~ASU 2014-09 to have a significant impact~~Topic 606 on our financial statements when taken as a whole, except for the newly required expanded disclosures. While we continue to quantify the effect the adoption will have on our historical financial position and results of operations, we currently anticipate the largest impacts to berevenue recognition are related to the following areas:

Certain revenues, ~~currently~~particularly those related to interchange and third-party network fees associated with our payment processing business, previously recorded on a gross basis as a principal ~~may be~~are now recorded on a net basis as an agent to the extent the Company does not control the good or service before it is transferred to the customer.

~~The timing of recognition~~Recognition of certain term license early renewals ~~will be~~are now deferred until the conclusion of the term ~~under~~in effect at the ~~existing license agreement. Currently,~~time of renewal. Previously, term license early renewals ~~are~~were generally recognized upon execution of the renewal agreement.

~~In addition~~Impacts related to other changes introduced by the standard were substantially less significant than those listed above.

Upon retrospective application of Topic 606, our revenue decreased by approximately $455 million and $410 million and net earnings decreased approximately $58 million and $43 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We recorded a net reduction to opening retained earnings of approximately $23 million as of January 1, 2016 due to the ~~above, we considered other areas~~cumulative impact of adopting the standard. The impact of Topic 606 on our 2017 and ~~determined that all have a substantially smaller impact. The Company is in the process of finalizing the quantification~~2016 operating results may or may not be representative of the impact ~~to these areas.~~on subsequent years’ results.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” ~~(“ASU 2016-02”). Under the new guidance,~~which requires lessees ~~will be required~~ to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, “Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842;” ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases;” and ASU No. 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements” (collectively, the ~~following~~“new standard”). The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all ~~leases (with the exception of~~ leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of ~~twelve months or less) at~~expense recognition in the commencement date: (a) a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (b) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.income statement. Under the new ~~guidance,~~standard, lessor accounting is largely unchanged.

The ~~pronouncement requires a~~new standard is effective for public business entities on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach ~~for~~is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or ~~entered into after,~~(2) the beginning

of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial ~~statements.~~statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The ~~modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expire before the earliest~~entity must also recast its comparative period ~~presented. A full retrospective transition approach is~~financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. We will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 and use the effective date as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not ~~permitted. Public business entities should apply~~be updated and the ~~amendments~~disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019.

The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in ~~ASU 2016-02~~transition. We expect to elect the "package of practical expedients," which permits us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We do not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements. The new standard also provides practical expedients for ~~fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,~~an entity’s ongoing accounting including ~~interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.~~short-term lease recognition and measurement exemption and non-separation of lease and non-lease components by asset class. We are currently assessing the ~~impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02~~extent to which we will elect these practical expedients.

We expect that this standard will have an immaterial effect on ~~our financial position and~~ results of operations. While we continue to assess all of the effects of adoption, we currently believe the most significant effects relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for our real estate operating leases and providing new disclosures about our leasing activities.

On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”), “Financial Instrument - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements on Credit Losses of Financial Instruments.” This ASU's primary objectives are to implement new methodology for calculating credit losses on financial instruments (e.g., trade receivables) based on expected credit losses and broadens the types of information companies must use when calculating the estimated losses. Under current guidance, the credit losses are calculated based on multiple credit impairment objectives and recognition is delayed until the loss is probable to occur. Under the new guidance, financial assets measured at amortized cost basis must ~~now~~ be shown as the net amount expected to be collected. The credit loss allowance is a contra-valuation account. Available-for-sale securities should continue to be recognized in a similar manner to current GAAP; however, the allowance should be presented as an allowance instead of a write-down of the basis of the asset. For public ~~companies that are SEC filers,~~business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any organization in any interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2018. We do not plan to early adopt and expect that the new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statement presentation, financial position, or results of operations.

On August 29, 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15 (“ASU 2018-15”), “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” This ASU clarifies that implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements should be deferred and recognized over the term of the arrangement, if those costs would be capitalized by the customer in a software licensing arrangement under the internal-use software guidance. The provisions in ASU 2018-15 should

be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. For public business entities, ASU 2018-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2018-15 will have on our financial position and results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks

Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks primarily from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We periodically use certain derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts, to manage interest rate and foreign currency risk. We do not use derivatives for trading purposes, to generate income or to engage in speculative activity.

Interest Rate Risk

In addition to existing cash balances and cash provided by operating activities, we use ~~fixed rate~~fixed-rate and ~~variable rate~~variable-rate debt to finance our operations. We are exposed to interest rate risk on these debt obligations and related interest rate swaps, if any.

The senior notes as described in Note ~~4 to~~7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) represent substantially all of our fixed-rate long-term debt obligations as of September 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The carrying value excluding unamortized discounts of the senior notes was ~~$8,532~~$8,501 million as of September 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The fair value of the senior notes was approximately ~~$8,735~~$8,405 million as of September 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The potential reduction in fair value of the senior notes from a hypothetical 10 percent increase in market interest rates would not be material to the overall fair value of the debt.

Our floating rate long-term debt obligations principally relate to borrowings under the FIS Credit Agreement (as defined in Note ~~4 to~~7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)). An increase of 100 basis points in the LIBOR rate would increase our annual debt service under the FIS Credit Agreement by approximately $6 million (based on principal amounts outstanding as of September 30, ~~2017)~~2018). We performed the foregoing sensitivity analysis based on the principal amount of our floating rate debt as of September 30, ~~2017.~~2018. This sensitivity analysis is based solely on the principal amount of such debt as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, and does not take into account any changes that occurred in the prior 12 months or that may take place in the next 12 months in the amount of our outstanding debt. Further, in this sensitivity analysis, the change in interest rates is assumed to be applicable for an entire year. For comparison purposes, based on principal amounts of floating rate debt outstanding as of September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, and calculated in the same manner as set forth above, an increase of 100 basis points in the LIBOR rate would have increased our annual interest expense, after we calculate the impact of our interest rate swaps, by $1approximately $6 million.

As of September 30, 2018, we had no interest rate swaps.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include the translation of local currency balances of foreign subsidiaries, transaction gains and losses associated with intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in currencies other than a location's functional currency. We manage the exposure to these risks through a combination of normal operating activities and the use of foreign currency forward ~~contracts.~~contracts and non-derivative investment hedges. Contracts are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries.

Our exposure to foreign currency exchange risks generally arises from our non-U.S. operations, to the extent they are conducted in local currency. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates affect translations of ~~revenues~~revenue denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. During the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, we generated approximately ~~$437~~$376 million and ~~$1,379~~$1,133 million, respectively, in ~~revenues~~revenue denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The major currencies to which our revenues are exposed are the Brazilian Real, the Euro, the British Pound Sterling and the Indian Rupee. A 10% move in average exchange rates for these currencies (assuming a simultaneous and immediate 10% change in all of such rates for the relevant period) would have resulted in the following increase or decrease in our reported ~~revenues~~revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017 (in millions):


	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,				Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,

Total increase or decrease	$	33	$	34	$	99	$	95	$	28	$	33	$	84	$	99

While our results of operations have been impacted by the effects of currency fluctuations, our international operations' ~~revenues~~revenue and expenses are generally denominated in local currency, which reduces our economic exposure to foreign exchange risk in those jurisdictions.

~~Revenues~~Revenue included ~~$10~~$30 million and $9 million of ~~favorable~~unfavorable foreign currency impact during the three ~~months~~ and ~~$1 million of unfavorable currency impact during the~~ nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively, resulting from changes in the U.S. Dollar during ~~2017~~2018 as compared to ~~2016.~~2017. Net earnings attributable to FIS common stockholders included $2$5 million and $5 million of ~~favorable~~unfavorable foreign currency impact during the three ~~months~~ and ~~$1 million of unfavorable currency impact during the~~ nine months ended September 30, ~~2017, respectively. In 2017,~~2018. For the full year of 2018, we ~~expect minimal~~anticipate an approximate $55 million adverse impact to revenue due to foreign currency ~~impact on our net earnings.~~translation.

Our foreign exchange risk management policy permits the use of derivative instruments, such as forward contracts and options, to reduce volatility in our results of operations and/or cash flows resulting from foreign exchange rate fluctuations. We do not enter into foreign currency derivative instruments for trading purposes or to engage in speculative activity. We do periodically enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure to intercompany loans. We did not have ~~any of these derivatives~~significant forward contracts as of September 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The Company also utilizes non-derivative net investment hedges in order to reduce the volatility in the income statement caused by the changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)).

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act ~~is:~~is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and ~~forms;~~forms and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, in connection with the adoption of ASC 606, we did implement changes to our processes related to revenue recognition and the control activities within those processes. These included the development of new policies based on the new standard, new training, and gathering of information provided for disclosures.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

See “Item 1A. - Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017 for a detailed discussion of risk factors affecting the Company. ~~There~~The following new risk factor replaces in its entirety the risk factor in our Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2017, titled, “We have ~~been no material changes~~a substantial investment in our Brazilian Venture and obtain significant revenue through that venture that would be lost and result in significant termination costs if our venture partner were to terminate the agreement, to the extent not replaced by further commercial agreements.”

The future results of our Brazilian operations may not meet our financial goals following the unwinding of the Brazilian Venture.

While FIS expects the net earnings from current non-Bradesco customers and the current and new services provided to Bradesco by FIS to substantially replace the net earnings lost from the unwinding of the Brazilian Venture, no assurance can be made in this regard, and FIS may fail to meet its financial goals to grow the business following the closing of the transaction. Further, it is possible that existing non-Bradesco clients may reduce the amount of services we perform for them following the unwinding of the Brazilian Venture. In addition, the costs of unwinding the Brazilian Venture or of operating in Brazil on a stand-alone basis could be higher than we anticipate.

For further detail on our Brazilian Venture see Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this report on Form 10-Q.

Our Board of Directors has approved a series of plans authorizing repurchases of our common stock in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions, the most current of which on July 20, 2017, authorized repurchases of up to $4.0 billion through December 31, 2020. This share repurchase authorization replaced any existing share repurchase authorization plan. Approximately $2.8 billion of plan capacity remained available for repurchases as of September 30, 2018.
