SunGard Announces Second Quarter 2009 Results

Wayne, PA – August 6, 2009 – SunGard, one of the world’s leading software and IT services companies, reported today that revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $1.37 billion, an increase of 1% compared to the same period in 2008. On a constant currency basis, organic revenue decreased by one-half of 1% in the quarter. Organic revenue is revenue from businesses owned for at least one year and excludes revenue from businesses sold in the previous twelve months. One of our broker/dealer businesses contributed approximately six percentage points to overall organic revenue growth in the quarter.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, adjusted EBITDA (defined in Note 1 to the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Information) was $355 million compared to $363 million in 2008, a 2% decrease.

Adjusted income from operations (defined in Note 2 to the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Information) for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $275 million, a 4% decrease from $285 million in 2008.

Reported income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $134 million compared to $145 million for the year 2008, a decrease of $11 million. Reported income from operations in 2009 and 2008 includes amortization of acquired intangible assets of $130 million and $118 million, respectively, and stock-based compensation, purchase accounting adjustments and other costs of $11 million and $22 million, respectively.

Cristóbal Conde, president and chief executive officer, commented, “We are very pleased that we achieved our targets in a very challenging environment and our overall performance is better than we expected at the start of the year. Part of the reason we are doing so well competitively is that all of our businesses are staying close to our customers and are getting in front of decision-makers. Apart from merger situations, the fog is starting to lift and quarter on quarter the mood is slightly on the uptick. However, we expect the second half of the year to remain challenging given that enterprise IT spending continues to be cautious, with long sales cycles and tough pricing pressure being the new normal. We are responding by bundling solutions and adding more value for our customers. Our competitiveness is very strong and we are very well positioned to take advantage of the changing landscape and industry trends.”

Revenue for the first six months of 2009 increased 2% over the same period in 2008 to $2.70 billion. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $675 million compared to $691 million last year. Adjusted income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $516 million compared to $542 million last year. Reported income from operations in 2009 and 2008 was $234 million and $269 million and includes amortization of acquired intangible assets of $254 million and $230 million, respectively, and stock-based compensation, purchase accounting adjustments and other costs of $28 million and $43 million, respectively.

Financial Systems organic revenue growth was 2% for the quarter on a constant currency basis. Approximately 12% of organic revenue growth was attributable to one of our broker/dealer businesses. The broker/dealer revenue has remained uncharacteristically high and is a function of market volatility and customer mix; while this broker/dealer revenue increased year over year, sequentially it was unchanged after declining from the fourth quarter of 2008. Total Financial Systems revenue increased 8% to $766 million for the quarter. License fees were $33 million for the quarter, a decrease of $18 million compared to the same quarter in 2008.

SunGard’s “Safe Harbor” Statement under Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Statements in this release other than historical facts constitute forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or similar expressions which concern our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. All of these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those we expected. We derive most of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include: our high degree of leverage; general economic and market conditions; the overall condition of the financial services industry, including the effect of any further consolidation among financial services firms; the integration of acquired businesses, the performance of acquired businesses, and the prospects for future acquisitions; the effect of war, terrorism, natural disasters or catastrophic events; the effect of disruptions to our systems and infrastructure; the timing and magnitude of software sales; the timing and scope of technological advances; customers taking their information availability solutions in-house; the trend in information availability toward solutions utilizing more dedicated resources; the market and credit risks associated with clearing broker operations; the ability to retain and attract customers and key personnel; risks relating to the foreign countries where we transact business; the ability to obtain patent protection and avoid patent-related liabilities in the context of a rapidly developing legal framework for software and business-method patents; and a material weakness in our internal controls. The factors described in this paragraph and other factors that may affect our business or future financial results are discussed in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, copies of which may be obtained from us without charge. We assume no obligation to update any written or oral forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf as a result of new information, future events or other factors.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Information

Note 1. Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and Reconciliation of EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and goodwill impairment. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to give effect to certain items that are required in calculating covenant compliance under our senior and senior subordinated notes as well as under our senior secured credit facilities, which were entered into in August 2005 and our senior notes entered into in September 2008. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by subtracting from or adding to EBITDA items of income or expense described below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent net income (loss), as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow available for management or discretionary use as such measures do not consider certain cash requirements such as capital expenditures (including capitalized software expense), tax payments and debt service requirements. SunGard considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be key indicators of our ability to pay our debt. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures. The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the GAAP measure we believe to be most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Further information regarding this reconciliation is included in our periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Information

Note 2. Reconciliation of Income from Operations to Adjusted Income from Operations

Adjusted income from operations represents income from operations adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, goodwill impairment charges, merger costs, adjustments for deferred revenue, stock-based compensation expense and management fee expense. Adjusted income from operations is not a recognized term under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Adjusted income from operations does not represent income from operations, as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to income from operations as an indicator of our operating performance. We have included information concerning adjusted income from operations because we use such information when evaluating income from operations to better evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Adjusted income from operations as presented herein is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures. The following is a reconciliation between adjusted income from operations and income from operations, the GAAP measure we believe to be most directly comparable to adjusted income from operations.
