	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, 2013. 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 at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2013 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) to conform to the classifications used in 2014.
	We report the results of our operations in four reporting segments: 1) Financial Solutions Group (“FSG”), 2) Payment Solutions Group (“PSG”), 3) International Solutions Group (“ISG”) and 4) Corporate and Other (Note 11).

	Related Party Transactions
	Brazilian Venture
	The Company operates a joint venture ("Brazilian Venture") with Banco Bradesco S.A. ("Banco Bradesco"), in which we own a 51% controlling interest, to provide comprehensive, fully outsourced transaction processing, call center, cardholder support and collection services to multiple card issuing clients in Brazil, including Banco Bradesco. The Company recorded Brazilian Venture revenues of $72.5 million and $71.9 million during the three months and $211.2 million and $225.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, from Banco Bradesco relating to these services. Brazilian Venture revenues included $1.4 million and $23.3 million of unfavorable currency impact during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively resulting from a stronger U.S. Dollar in 2014, as compared to 2013.
	The passage of time and the achievement of certain targets triggered payments to Banco Bradesco of $5.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The remaining related party payable was $44.6 million and $48.2 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. In addition, the board of directors for the Brazilian Venture declared a one-time dividend during the three months ended September 30, 2014, resulting in a payment of $34.8 million to Banco Bradesco and thereby reducing the value of the noncontrolling interest as of September 30, 2014 to $123.4 million.

Discontinued Operations	'
	Discontinued Operations
	Certain operations are reported as discontinued in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Unaudited) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
	China eCas Business Line
	During the second quarter of 2014, the Company committed to a plan to sell our business operation that provides eCas core banking software solutions to small financial institutions in China because it did not align with our strategic plans. This line of business had revenues of $0.6 million and $1.7 million for the three months and $0.9 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The discontinued China eCas business line had earnings (losses) before taxes of $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three months and $(2.7) million and $(1.3) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Brazil Item Processing and Remittance Services Operations
	During the third quarter of 2010, the Company decided to pursue strategic alternatives for Fidelity National Participacoes Ltda. (“Participacoes”). Participacoes' processing volume was transitioned to other vendors or back to its customers during the second quarter of 2011. There were no revenues for the 2014 and 2013 periods. Participacoes had expenses of $2.2 million and $5.1 million for the three months and $3.4 million and $15.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As a result of the dismissal of employees related to the shut-down activities completed in 2011, the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 included charges of $6.1 million and $15.3 million, respectively, to settle claims or increase our provision for potential labor claims. Charges for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 were nominal. The shut-down activities involved the transfer and termination of approximately 2,600 employees. As of September 30, 2014, there were approximately 820 active labor claims. Former employees generally had up to two years from the date of termination to file labor claims, which extended through April 2013. Consequently, we have continued exposure on these active claims, which were not transferred with other assets and liabilities in the disposal. Our accrued liability for active labor claims, net of $15.5 million in court ordered deposits, is $15.6 million as of September 30, 2014. Any changes in the estimated liability related to these labor claims will be recorded as discontinued operations.
	ClearPar
	On January 1, 2010, FIS sold certain assets and liabilities constituting our ClearPar automated syndicated loan trade settlement business. Terms of the sale included an initial cash payment of $71.5 million at closing, with the potential for an additional earn-out payment calculated as a function of the business' 2012 operating results. In May 2013, we recorded in discontinued operations a gain of $26.8 million ($16.7 million, net of tax) upon final determination and receipt of the earn-out payment.

	The Company entered into capital lease obligations of $0.9 million and $15.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The assets are included in property and equipment and computer software and the remaining capital lease obligation is classified as long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as of September 30, 2014. Periodic payments are included in repayment of borrowings on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited).
	Settlement Activity
	Settlement deposits represent funds we hold that were drawn from our customers to facilitate our settlement activities and, as of September 30, 2014, included $100.0 million of short-term investments in certificates of deposit with original maturities of greater than 90 days. These certificates of deposit are Level 2 type securities in the fair-value hierarchy. Settlement payables consist of settlement deposits from customers, 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 balance sheet and in operating cash flows on the statement of cash flows.

	__________________________________________
	-1	Interest on the Term Loans A-4 is generally payable at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of up to 2.00% based upon the Company's corporate credit ratings and the ratings on the FIS Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2014, the weighted average interest rate on the Term Loans A-4 was 1.40%.
	-2	Interest on the Revolving Loan is generally payable at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of up to 2.00% plus an unused commitment fee of up to 0.35%, each based upon the Company's corporate credit ratings and the ratings on the FIS Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2014, the applicable margin on the Revolving Loan, excluding facility fees and unused commitment fees, was 1.25%.
	FIS is a party to a syndicated credit agreement (the "FIS Credit Agreement"), which as of September 30, 2014, provided total committed capital of $3,300.0 million comprised of: (1) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate maximum principal amount of $2,000.0 million maturing on March 30, 2017 (the "Revolving Loan"); and (2) term loans of $1,300.0 million maturing on March 30, 2017 (the "Term Loans A-4"). As of September 30, 2014, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan was $723.0 million, with $1,276.2 million of borrowing capacity remaining thereunder (net of $0.8 million in outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Loan).
	In June 2014, FIS issued $1,000.0 million of new senior notes, including $300.0 million of Senior Notes due in 2017 that bear interest at 1.450% and $700.0 million of Senior Notes due in 2024 that bear interest at 3.875%. The proceeds were used to pay down a portion of the Term Loans A-4 and to temporarily reduce borrowings under the Revolving Loan until the 2020 Notes were callable.
	On July 15, 2014, FIS called the full $500.0 million principal amount of 2020 Notes, funded by borrowings under the Company's Revolving Loan and cash on hand. As a result of the redemption, FIS incurred a pre-tax charge upon extinguishment of approximately $35.4 million, consisting of the call premium and the write-off of associated previously capitalized debt issuance costs.
	The obligations of FIS under the FIS Credit Agreement and under all of its outstanding senior notes rank equal in priority, are unsecured and are guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of FIS. The FIS Credit Agreement and the senior notes remain subject to customary covenants, including, among others, limitations on the payment of dividends by FIS, and events of default.
	The following table summarizes the mandatory principal payments pursuant to the FIS Credit Agreement and the senior notes' indentures as of September 30, 2014 (in millions). There are no mandatory principal payments on the Revolving Loan and any balance outstanding on the Revolving Loan will be due and payable at its scheduled maturity date:
		Term Loan				2017				2018				2022			2023		2024
		A-4				Notes				Notes				Notes			Notes		Notes		Total
	2014	$	—			$	—			$	—			$	—		$	—	$	—	$	—
	2015	—				—				—				—			—		—		—
	2016	—				—				—				—			—		—		—
	2017	1,300.00				300				—				—			—		—		1,600.00
	2018	—				—				250				—			—		—		250
	Thereafter	—				—				—				700			1,000.00		700		2,400.00
	Total	$	1,300.00			$	300			$	250			$	700		$	1,000.00	$	700	$	4,250.00
	Voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans is generally permitted at any time without fee upon proper notice and subject to a minimum dollar requirement. In addition to scheduled principal payments, the Term Loans are (with certain exceptions) subject to mandatory prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events.
	FIS may redeem some or all of the 2022 Notes on or before May 14, 2020 at a specified premium to par, and thereafter at par, as outlined in the indenture agreement. FIS may also redeem the 2017 Notes, 2018 Notes, 2023 Notes and the 2024 Notes at its option in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed and a make-whole amount calculated as described in the related indenture in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption; provided no make-whole amount will be paid for redemptions of the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes during the three months prior to their maturity.
	We monitor the financial stability of our counterparties on an ongoing basis. The lender commitments under the undrawn portions of the Revolving Loan are comprised of a diversified set of financial institutions, both domestic and international. The combined commitments of our top 10 revolving lenders comprise about 58% of our Revolving Loan. The failure of any single lender to perform its obligations under the Revolving Loan would not adversely impact our ability to fund operations. If the single largest lender were to default under the terms of the FIS Credit Agreement (impacting the capacity of the Revolving Loan), the maximum loss of available capacity on the undrawn portion of the Revolving Loan, as of September 30, 2014, would be approximately $87.8 million.
	Debt issuance costs of $39.4 million, net of accumulated amortization, remain capitalized as of September 30, 2014, related to all of the above outstanding debt.
	The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated to be approximately $33.0 million higher than the carrying value as of September 30, 2014. This estimate is based on quoted prices of our senior notes and trades of our other debt in close proximity to September 30, 2014, which are considered Level 2-type measurements. This estimate is subjective in nature and involves uncertainties and significant judgment in the interpretation of current market data. Therefore, the values presented are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize or settle currently.
	As of September 30, 2014, we have entered into the following interest rate swap transactions converting a portion of the interest rate exposure on our Term and Revolving Loans from variable to fixed (in millions):
	Effective date		Termination date		Notional amount				Bank pays		FIS pays
									variable rate of		fixed rate of
	1-Jul-12		1-Jul-15		300				1 Month LIBOR (1)		0.58	%	-2
	February 3, 2014		February 1, 2017		400				1 Month LIBOR (1)		0.89	%	-2
					$	700
	___________________________________
	-1	0.16% in effect as of September 30, 2014.
	-2	Does not include the applicable margin and facility fees paid to lenders on the Term Loans and Revolving Loan as described above.
	We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges and, as such, they are carried on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited) at fair value with changes in fair value included in other comprehensive earnings, net of tax.
	A summary of the fair value of the Company’s interest rate derivative instruments as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, is as follows (in millions):
		September 30, 2014						December 31, 2013
		Balance sheet location		Fair				Balance sheet location		Fair
				value						value
	Interest rate swap contracts	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		$	1			Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		$	2.5
	Interest rate swap contracts	Other long-term liabilities		$	0.4			Other long-term liabilities		$	1.9
	In accordance with the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements, the inputs used to determine the estimated fair value of our interest rate swaps are Level 2-type measurements. We considered our own credit risk and the credit risk of the counterparties when determining the fair value of our interest rate swaps. Adjustments are made to these amounts and to accumulated other comprehensive earnings ("AOCE") within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Earnings (Unaudited) and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity as the factors that impact fair value change, including current and projected interest rates, time to maturity and required cash transfers/settlements with our counterparties. Periodic actual and estimated settlements with counterparties are recorded to interest expense as a yield adjustment to effectively fix the otherwise variable rate interest expense associated with the Term and Revolving Loans for hedged notional amounts.
	A summary of the effect of derivative instruments on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Earnings (Unaudited) and recognized in AOCE for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows (in millions):
			Amount of gain (loss)										Amount of loss reclassified
			recognized in AOCE on										from AOCE into
			derivatives										income
	Derivatives in cash		Three months ended								Location of loss		Three months ended
	flow hedging		September 30,								reclassified from		September 30,
	relationships		2014				2013				AOCE into income		2014			2013
	Interest rate swap contracts		$	1.1			$	(3.5	)		Interest expense		$	(1.7	)	$	(1.2	)
			Amount of gain (loss)										Amount of loss reclassified
recognized in AOCE on							from AOCE into
derivatives							income
Derivatives in cash		Nine months ended								Location of loss		Nine months ended
flow hedging		September 30,								reclassified from		September 30,
relationships		2014				2013				AOCE into income		2014			2013
Interest rate swap contracts		$	(2.2	)		$	1.3			Interest expense		$	(5.2	)	$	(4.2	)
Approximately $0.6 million of the balance in AOCE as of September 30, 2014, is expected to be reclassified into income over the next twelve months.
Our existing cash flow hedges are highly effective and there was no impact on earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness. It is our practice to execute such instruments with credit-worthy banks at the time of execution and not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. As of September 30, 2014, we believe that our interest rate swap counterparties will be able to fulfill their obligations under our agreements and we believe we will have debt outstanding through the various expiration dates of the swaps such that the forecasted transactions remain probable of occurring.

	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 that no actions, other than the matters listed below, depart from customary litigation incidental to its business. As background to the disclosure below, please note the following:
	•	These matters raise difficult and complicated factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties and complexities.
	•	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.
	CheckFree Corporation and CashEdge, Inc. v. Metavante Corporation and Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.
	This is a patent infringement action that was filed by CheckFree Corporation and CashEdge, Inc., subsidiaries of Fiserv, Inc. (collectively, the "Plaintiffs") against Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. and our subsidiary, Metavante Corporation (collectively the “Defendants”) in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division on January 5, 2012. The complaint seeks damages, injunctive relief and attorneys' fees for the alleged infringement of three patents. Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants infringe the patents at issue by providing customers financial and payment solutions that process payment instructions, provide electronic biller notifications, and/or process account-to-account funds transfer transactions and have requested financial damages and injunctive relief. Defendants filed their Answer and Counterclaims to Plaintiffs' complaint for patent infringement denying the claims of patent infringement and asserting defenses, including non-infringement and invalidity. Additionally, Defendants filed counterclaims asserting patent infringement of three patents and adding Fiserv, Inc. as a Counter Defendant. Defendants seek damages, injunctive relief and attorneys' fees. Plaintiffs and Counter Defendant Fiserv, Inc., filed their Answer to Defendants' counterclaims denying the claims of patent infringement and asserting defenses, including non-infringement and invalidity. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Court granted Plaintiffs' Motion to Amend its First Amended Complaint to add a fourth patent and Defendants' Motion to Amend its First Amended Answer and Counterclaims. Defendants filed a Motion for Summary Judgment seeking an order invalidating all of the Plaintiffs' asserted patents. Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Summary Judgment seeking to invalidate select patent claims from one of Defendants' asserted patents.   On June 24, 2013, Defendants filed for covered business method (“CBM”) post-grant reviews of the validity of the Plaintiff's asserted patents at the US Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO").  On June 25, 2013, Defendants filed a Motion to Stay the case pending the outcome of the CBM post-grant reviews.  The Court denied Plaintiffs' Motion for Summary Judgment. On December 23, 2013, the US Patent Office instituted Defendants’ CBM Petitions, thereby agreeing to review the validity of Plaintiff's patents. Additionally, on January 17, 2014, the Court granted Defendants’ Motion to Stay the litigation pending the outcome of the CBM review proceedings. The deadline for the final written decision of the CBM review proceedings is December 23, 2014. An estimate of a possible loss or range of possible loss, if any, for this litigation cannot be made at this time.
	DataTreasury Corporation v. Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. et. al.
	This patent infringement lawsuit was filed on May 28, 2013 by DataTreasury Corporation (the “Plaintiff”) against Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (the “Company”) and multiple customer banks in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division.  Plaintiff alleges that the Company infringes the patents at issue by making, using, selling or offering to sell systems and methods for image-based check processing. The Complaint seeks damages, injunctive relief and attorneys' fees for the alleged infringement of two patents.  On October 25, 2013, the Company filed for covered business method (“CBM”) post-grant reviews of the validity of the Plaintiff's asserted patents at the USPTO.  The Company filed a Motion to Stay the case pending the outcome of the CBM post-grant reviews. On April 29, 2014, the USPTO instituted the Company's two CBM petitions. On August 14, 2014, the Court granted the Company's Motion to Stay the litigation pending the outcome of the CBM review proceedings. The oral hearing for the CBM review proceedings is scheduled for December 9, 2014. An estimate of a possible loss or range of possible loss, if any, for this action cannot be made at this time.
	Indemnifications and Warranties
	The Company generally indemnifies its customers, 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.

Acquisitions	'
	Acquisitions
	We have completed a number of acquisitions in 2014 and 2013 that were not significant, individually or in the aggregate. Among these were Clear2Pay, Reliance and MFoundry.
	Clear2Pay
	On September 2, 2014, FIS signed a definitive agreement to acquire Brussels-based Clear2Pay NV. We completed the acquisition on October 1, 2014, paying $461.5 million, net of acquired cash for 100 percent ownership interest. The addition of Clear2Pay will expand FIS’ global payments capabilities and enhance our ability to deliver differentiated enterprise payments solutions.
	Because the purchase price was denominated in Euros, we initiated a foreign currency forward contract to purchase Euros and sell U.S. Dollars to manage the risk arising from fluctuations in exchange rates until the closing.  As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of this derivative of $16.2 million is included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities.   As this derivative did not qualify for hedge accounting, a corresponding amount  was recorded in Other income (expense), net.  This forward contract was settled on October 1, 2014.
	Reliance
	On May 5, 2014, FIS signed a definitive agreement to acquire Atlanta-based Reliance Financial Corporation (“Reliance”), including its subsidiaries Reliance Trust Company, Reliance Trust Company of Delaware and Reliance Integrated Solutions LLC. We completed the acquisition on July 15, 2014, paying approximately $110.0 million to acquire 100 percent ownership interest. The resulting combination creates a full-service wealth management and retirement offering encompassing technology, full back-office operations outsourcing, and retirement trust and fiduciary services.
	mFoundry
	In March 2013, we completed the acquisition of mFoundry, Inc. ("mFoundry"), paying $115.0 million, net of cash acquired, for the remaining interest that we did not already own. mFoundry is a leading provider of mobile banking and payment solutions for financial institutions and retailers. Owning underlying technology that enables mobile commerce is expected to enhance our strategic positioning as the mobile channel continues to expand, and to enable us to leverage our capabilities over a broader customer base.   The acquisition of the remaining interest resulted in a $9.2 million pretax gain on our pre-acquisition investment in mFoundry, which is included in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Unaudited) for the 2013 period.
