Summary of Accounting Policies	'
	Summary of Accounting Policies
	The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of DST Systems, Inc. (“DST” or the “Company”) included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to enable a reasonable understanding of the information presented. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position and the results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the periods presented.
	Certain amounts in the 2013 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year 2014.
	Out-of-period adjustment
	During the third quarter of 2014, in connection with the preparation of the Federal tax return for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company determined that a portion of the deferred tax liability associated with the interest deduction on the convertible debentures, which were redeemed during 2013, should have been recorded as additional paid-in capital rather than a current liability within the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013. To correct the error, the reclassification of $11.6 million from other current liabilities to additional paid-in capital has been reflected within the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2014. Based on the Company’s evaluation of all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors related to this adjustment, the Company concluded that the adjustment was not material to either the prior year or current quarter Consolidated Balance Sheet. The adjustment had no impact on income, expenses or cash flows.
	New authoritative accounting guidance
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This standard will replace the existing accounting standard for revenue recognition and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application of this standard is not permitted. This standard permits two transition approaches, either the retrospective transition method or the cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the standard, including which transition approach will be applied and the estimated impact it will have on the consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” This standard changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and modifies the disclosure requirements. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim periods after December 15, 2014. Early adoption of the standard is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The Company has elected to early adopt this standard beginning in the third quarter 2014. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standard update, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” This standard requires netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.

	At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s carrying value of available-for-sale investments was $543.7 million and $654.0 million, respectively. Deferred tax liabilities associated with the available-for-sale investments were approximately $169.5 million and $201.1 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company received $162.4 million and $235.9 million, respectively, from the sale of investments in available-for-sale securities.  Gross realized gains of $50.8 million and $50.5 million and gross realized losses of $0.7 million and $0.5 million were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, from the sale of available-for-sale securities. Gross realized gains of $99.0 million and $136.0 million and gross realized losses of $1.0 million and $1.6 million were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, from the sale of available-for-sale securities.
	The Company recorded losses on available-for-sale securities of $1.2 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to $0.4 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, related to other than temporary investment impairments. A decline in a security’s net realizable value that is other than temporary is treated as a loss based on quoted or derived market value and is reflected in Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
	The following table summarizes the fair value and gross unrealized losses of the Company’s investments by the length of time that the securities have been in a continuous loss position at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in millions):
		Less than 12 months						Greater than 12 months				Total

	Common stock	$	5.9		$	0.4		$	—	$	—	$	5.9	$	0.4
	The Company is a limited partner in various private equity funds which are primarily accounted for using the cost method.  At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s carrying value of these private equity fund investments was approximately $146.2 million and $167.3 million, respectively.  At September 30, 2014, the Company had future capital commitments related to these private equity fund investments of approximately $6.7 million. Additionally, the Company has other investments with a carrying value of $14.5 million and $15.7 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received a $33.2 million cash dividend from a cost method investment in a privately-held company. Following receipt of the dividend, DST sold its remaining interest in the privately-held company during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, resulting in pre-tax cash proceeds and a related gain of $103.6 million.
	The Company records lower of cost or market valuation adjustments on cost method and other investments when impairment conditions are present.  The Company recorded impairments on cost method and other investments of $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to $0.1 million of impairments recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The Company recorded impairments on cost method and other investments of $2.0 million and $0.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying investments could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments that may not be reflected in an investment’s current carrying value, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.  Such a charge could have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

	Fair Value Measurements
	Authoritative accounting guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
	As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company held certain investment assets and certain liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  These investment assets include the Company’s money market funds, available-for-sale equity securities and trading securities whereby fair value is determined using quoted prices in active markets.  Accordingly, the fair value measurements of these investments have been classified as Level 1 in the table below.  Fair value for deferred compensation liabilities that are credited with deemed gains or losses of the underlying hypothetical investments, primarily equity securities, have been classified as Level 1 in the tables below.  In addition, the Company has investments in available-for-sale fixed income securities, pooled funds, and interest rate and foreign currency derivative instruments that are required to be reported at fair value.  Fair value for the available-for-sale fixed income securities and for the derivative instruments was determined using inputs from quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets that are directly or indirectly observable.  Fair value for investments in pooled funds is determined using net asset value.  Accordingly, the Company’s investments in available-for-sale fixed income securities, pooled funds and derivative instruments have been classified as Level 2 in the table below.
	The following tables present assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

	At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, one of DST’s unconsolidated affiliates had an interest rate swap with a fair market value liability of $47.3 million and $45.5 million, respectively.  The unconsolidated affiliate used inputs from quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets that are directly or indirectly observable relating to the measurement of the interest rate swap.  The fair value measurement of the interest rate swap has been classified as Level 2 by the unconsolidated affiliate.  The above table presents only assets and liabilities measured at fair value for which the Company controls and, accordingly, excludes items held by unconsolidated affiliates.

	Accounts receivable securitization program
	DST securitizes certain of its domestic accounts receivable through an accounts receivable securitization program with a third-party bank.  The maximum amount that can be outstanding under this program is $150.0 million.  In May 2014, the Company renewed its accounts receivable securitization program. The facility will expire by its terms on May 14, 2015, unless renewed.
	The outstanding amount under the program was $150.0 million at both September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, total proceeds from the accounts receivable securitization program were approximately $775.4 million and $741.2 million, respectively, and total repayments were approximately $775.4 million and $741.2 million, respectively.
	Term loan credit facility
	The Company repaid its $125.0 million term loan credit facility in June 2014. The facility had a maturity date of October 28, 2014. Amounts prepaid may not be re-borrowed.
	Revolving credit facilities
	On October 1, 2014, the Company entered into a new syndicated line of credit facility that replaces its current $630.0 million facility which had a maturity date of July 1, 2015. The new credit agreement provides for a revolving unsecured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $850.0 million. The interest rates applicable to loans under the new credit agreement are generally based on Eurodollar, Federal Funds or prime rates plus applicable margins as defined in the agreement. The revolving credit facility contains a grid schedule that adjusts borrowing costs up or down based upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The grid schedule may result in fluctuations in borrowing costs ranging from 1.00% to 1.70% over Eurodollar and 0.00% to 0.70% over the base rate, as defined. Additionally, an annual facility fee of 0.125% to 0.30% is required on this revolving syndicated line of credit. Among other provisions, the credit agreement requires certain leverage and interest coverage ratios to be maintained. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, all amounts payable under the credit agreement may be declared immediately due and payable. The maturity date for the new credit facility is October 1, 2019. Borrowings under the old facility are reflected within current portion of long-term debt. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014, borrowings under the new facility will be reflected within long-term debt.
	Fair value
	Based upon the borrowing rates currently available to the Company and its subsidiaries for indebtedness with similar terms and average maturities, the carrying value of long-term debt, with the exception of the Senior Notes, is considered to approximate fair value.  The estimated fair values of the Senior Notes were derived principally from quoted prices for similar financial instruments (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).
	As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying values and estimated fair values of the Senior Notes were as follows (in millions):

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Hedging Transactions and Derivative Financial Instruments	'
	Hedging Transactions and Derivative Financial Instruments
	The Company is directly and indirectly affected by changes in certain market conditions. When determined appropriate, DST uses derivative instruments as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. The primary market risks managed through the use of derivative instruments are foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. The Company may use various types of derivative instruments including, but not limited to, forward contracts, option contracts and swaps. The Company does not enter into derivative arrangements for speculative purposes.
	The Company determines the fair values of its derivatives based on quoted market prices that are directly or indirectly observable as further discussed within Note 5 of these financial statements. The following table presents the fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments that were designated and qualified as part of a hedging relationship (in millions):
					Fair Value
	Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments		Balance Sheet Location		September 30,			December 31,
					2014			2013
	Foreign currency contracts		Other current liabilities		$	0.1		$	0.4
	Interest rate contracts		Other long term liabilities		0.1			0.1
	Total liabilities				$	0.2		$	0.5
	Cash flow hedging strategy
	The Company uses cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows of assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates. The changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and are reclassified into the line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period the hedged items affect earnings. The changes in fair values of hedges that are determined to be ineffective are immediately reclassified from AOCI into earnings. The maximum length of time for which the Company hedges its exposure to future cash flows is typically one to two years.
	The Company has entered into a foreign currency cash flow hedging program to reduce the risk that DST’s net cash outflows resulting from intercompany purchases of services from its international subsidiaries could be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company entered into forward foreign currency contracts (Thai baht) to hedge certain portions of forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. The total notional values of derivatives that were designated and qualified for the Company’s foreign currency cash flow hedging program were $12.4 million and $11.2 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	The Company regularly monitors the mix of short-term debt and long-term debt. From time to time, the Company manages its variable rate interest risk through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements and has designated these instruments as part of the Company’s interest rate cash flow hedging program. The objective of this hedging program is to mitigate the risk of adverse changes in benchmark interest rates on the Company’s future interest payments. The total notional values of these interest rate swap agreements that were designated and qualified for the Company’s interest rate cash flow hedging program were $6.6 million and $7.3 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	The following table presents the pretax impact that changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges had on AOCI and earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (in millions):
		Gain (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”)				Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income	Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Income (Effective Portion)

	Foreign currency contracts	$	—			Costs and expenses	$	(0.2	)
	Interest rate contracts	(0.2		)		Interest expense	—
	2013
	Foreign currency contracts	$	0.1			Costs and expenses	$	(0.2	)
	Interest rate contracts	(0.2		)		Interest expense	(0.5		)
	The following table presents the pretax impact that changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges had on AOCI and earnings during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (in millions):
		Gain (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”)				Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income	Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Income (Effective Portion)
	2014
	Foreign currency contracts	$	(0.1	)		Costs and expenses	$	(0.4	)
	Interest rate contracts	0.2				Interest expense	—
	2013
	Foreign currency contracts	$	(0.1	)		Costs and expenses	$	(0.2	)
	Interest rate contracts	(0.7		)		Interest expense	(2.5		)
	There were no gains or losses recognized into income as a result of ineffectiveness during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. As of September 30, 2014, the Company estimates that the amounts to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months are approximately $0.1 million.
	Economic (nondesignated) hedging strategy
	In addition to derivative instruments that are designated and qualify for hedge accounting, the Company also uses certain derivatives as economic hedges of foreign currency exposure. Although these derivatives were not designated for hedge accounting, they are effective economic hedges. The changes in fair values of economic hedges are immediately recognized into earnings.
	The Company uses foreign currency economic hedges to offset the earnings impact that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have on certain intercompany loans denominated in nonfunctional currencies (British pound and Canadian dollar). The foreign currency economic hedging program consists of rolling, monthly forward foreign currency contracts which settle on the last day of each month. As a result, there are minimal unrealized gains or losses at the end of the period related to these contracts. The changes in fair values of economic hedges used to offset those monetary assets and liabilities are immediately recognized into earnings in Other income, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. The total notional values of derivatives related to the Company’s foreign currency economic hedges were $108.4 million and $115.1 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	The pretax impact that changes in the fair values of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments had on earnings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was not significant.

Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	The Company records income tax expense during interim periods based on its best estimate of the full year’s tax rate as adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant interim period.  Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and any change in the estimated rate is recorded on a cumulative basis. The Company’s tax rate was 30.6% and 33.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to 37.5% and 32.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The Company’s tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was lower than the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily attributable to the release of certain liabilities for uncertain tax positions as the statute of limitations expired and higher foreign tax credits due to higher earnings from foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, the lower tax rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was attributable to the $18.1 million gain on share repurchase which had no tax expense and the completion of a state examination, which resulted in the recognition of $2.5 million of income tax benefits from the reversal of previously reserved tax positions. The Company’s tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was lower than the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily attributable to the completion of an IRS examination which resulted in recognition of $16.1 million of income tax benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	The Company’s estimated annual effective full year 2014 tax rate will vary from the statutory federal rate primarily as a result of variances among the estimates and amounts of full year sources of taxable income (e.g., domestic consolidated, joint venture and/or international), the realization of tax credits (e.g., research and experimentation, foreign tax and state incentive), adjustments which may arise from the resolution of tax matters under review and the Company’s assessment of its liability for uncertain tax positions.

	Diluted earnings per share	$	2.51		$	2.23		$	8.22		$	6.03
	The Company had approximately 38.7 million and 42.5 million common shares outstanding at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. No shares from options to purchase common stock were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
	Share based compensation
	The Company has share based compensation plans covering its employees and non-employee directors.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company granted approximately 0.3 million restricted stock units (“RSU’s”), of which approximately 0.2 million are performance stock units.  Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company had 0.2 million RSU’s vest as the result of the completion of the service requirements or achievement of the service and performance features of the awards, as applicable. At September 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding 0.7 million unvested RSU’s and 0.7 million stock options (of which 0.2 million are not yet exercisable).
	The Company recognized share based compensation expense of $5.3 million and $15.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $3.5 million and $13.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
	At September 30, 2014, the Company had $36.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to its share based compensation arrangements, net of estimated forfeitures.  The Company estimates that compensation expense recognition attributable to currently outstanding stock option and restricted stock unit grants will be approximately $5.4 million for the remainder of 2014, $15.9 million for 2015, $8.0 million for 2016 and $1.2 million for 2017. Future expense recognition is not projected on approximately $6.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense as the related awards are not currently expected to achieve their required performance features and therefore not expected to vest.

	One of DST’s unconsolidated affiliates had an interest rate swap liability with a fair market value of $47.3 million and $45.5 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  DST’s 50% proportionate share of this interest rate swap liability was $23.7 million and $22.8 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  The Company records in investments and AOCI its proportionate share of this liability in an amount not to exceed the carrying value of its investment in this unconsolidated affiliate. Because the carrying value of this unconsolidated affiliate investment balance was zero at both September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no interest rate swap liability or AOCI was recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
	Stock repurchases
On January 29, 2014, the Board of Directors of DST authorized a new $250.0 million share repurchase plan, which allows, but does not require, the repurchase of common stock in open market and private transactions. The Company repurchased approximately 1.0 million shares of DST common stock for $92.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, resulting in approximately $157.9 million remaining under the Company’s existing share repurchase plan. The Company repurchased approximately 2.6 million shares of DST common stock for $181.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 under the previous share repurchase plan.
As of March 23, 2014, the Argyros Group beneficially owned 9.2 million shares or 22% of DST common shares. During March 2014, DST entered into an agreement under which DST agreed to a two-step process to assist the Argyros Group with the disposition of a substantial portion of their common stock ownership in DST.  To implement the Argyros Group’s disposition, DST facilitated the May 2014 registered, secondary common stock offering of $450.0 million (before any overallotment option) of DST common stock beneficially owned by the Argyros Group.  Concurrent with the closing of the secondary offering and based upon a price determined in the secondary offering, DST repurchased, and simultaneously retired, 2.4 million shares of its common stock from the Argyros Group for $200.0 million.  In connection with this share repurchase, DST recorded a non-cash gain of $18.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 resulting from the change in stock price between the date the share repurchase price became fixed and the settlement date. The retirement of the shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reduced Common stock by $0.1 million, Additional paid-in capital by $4.8 million and Retained earnings by $213.2 million within the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Shares received in exchange for satisfaction of the option exercise price and for tax withholding obligations arising from the exercise of options to purchase the Company’s stock or from the vesting of restricted stock shares are included in common stock repurchased in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.  The amount of such share receipts and withholdings for option exercises and restricted stock vesting was $6.1 million and $23.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Dividends
For each quarter of 2014, the Board of Directors of DST has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per common share. Total dividends for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $37.0 million, including cash dividends of $11.8 million paid in September 2014, $11.9 million paid in June 2014 and $12.6 million paid in March 2014.  The remaining amount of the dividend represents dividend equivalent shares of restricted stock units in lieu of the cash dividend. On October 24, 2014, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per common share, payable December 12, 2014, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 26, 2014.

	The Company has letters of credit of $9.3 million and $8.3 million outstanding at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  Letters of credit are secured by the Company’s debt facilities.
	The Company has entered into agreements with certain officers whereby upon defined circumstances constituting a change in control of the Company, certain benefit entitlements are automatically funded and such officers are entitled to specific cash payments upon termination of employment.  The Company has established trusts to provide for the funding of certain corporate commitments and entitlements of Company officers, directors, employees and others in the event of a change in control of the Company. Assets held in such trusts at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were not significant.  The Company has adopted the DST Systems, Inc. Executive Severance Plan which provides certain benefits to participants in the event of a qualifying termination under the plan.
	The Company received a regulatory inquiry in February 2012 regarding information that the Company’s pharmacy claims processing business prepared on behalf of its Medicare Part D Plan Sponsor customers that those Medicare Part D Plan Sponsor customers subsequently provided to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, during the period 2006 to 2009.  That information related to amounts that were paid to Louisiana pharmacies that dispensed prescription drugs to Medicare Part D plan members.  In August 2014, the Company resolved this matter with the regulator resulting in a payment of $2.0 million during the third quarter 2014.
	The Company received a legal claim relating to a 2001 international software development agreement.  Although the software was never completed, the counterparty to the agreement has asserted that DST’s failure to accept the software has resulted in direct damages ranging up to approximately $10.0 million. Claims for interest and other indirect damages could also be asserted.  A trial court and a court of appeals each concluded in 2004 and 2006, respectively, that the conditions for acceptance were not met.  In October 2011, a court of appeals ordered the engagement of an expert to test the software and decide whether it met the acceptance criteria.  The appeals court is currently reviewing the expert’s report. The Company is vigorously defending the case. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has $1.9 million accrued related to this legal claim. Based on the current status of the proceeding, there is a reasonable possibility that losses in excess of the amounts accrued exists, but the Company cannot currently estimate the amount or range of additional reasonably possible losses beyond what has been disclosed. However, the Company’s management believes the eventual outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the overall financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
	In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of their businesses. While the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, that the final outcome in such proceedings, in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.
	Other contractual commitments
	The Company entered into an agreement to guarantee up to $8.0 million of a $38.5 million mortgage loan to a 50% owned real estate joint venture.  The $38.5 million loan matures on September 30, 2018.  At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, total borrowings on the loan were $27.8 million and $28.3 million, respectively, of which the Company guaranteed $1.5 million at both September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	The Company has an agreement for a performance guarantee up to $5.0 million on a 20 year franchise agreement entered into by a 50% owned real estate joint venture.  At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s liability recorded associated with the guarantee was $0.8 million.
	The Company’s 50% owned joint ventures are generally governed by shareholder or partnership agreements.  The agreements generally entitle the Company to elect one-half of the directors to the board in the case of corporations and to have 50% voting/managing interest in the case of partnerships.  The agreements generally provide that a joint venture owner, if it desires to terminate the agreement, may establish a price payable in cash, or a promise to pay cash, for all of the other’s ownership in the joint venture and submit a binding offer, in writing, to the other party to sell to the other party all of its ownership interests in the joint venture or to purchase all ownership interests owned by the other party at such offering price.  The party receiving the offer generally has a specified period of time to either accept the offer to sell its interest, or to elect to purchase the offering party’s interest, in either case at the established offering price.  The Company cannot estimate the potential aggregate offering price that it could be required to receive for its interest in the case of a sale, or to pay for the other party’s interest in the case of a purchase; however, the amount could be material.
	In addition to the guarantees entered into as mentioned above, the Company has also guaranteed certain obligations of certain joint ventures under service agreements entered into by the joint ventures and their customers. The amount of such obligations is not stated in the agreements. Depending on the negotiated terms of the guaranty and/or the underlying service agreement, the Company’s liability under the guaranty may be subject to time and materiality limitations, monetary caps and other conditions and defenses.
	In certain instances in which the Company licenses proprietary systems or third party systems to customers, the Company gives certain warranties and infringement indemnities to the licensee, the terms of which vary depending on the negotiated terms of each respective license agreement, but which generally warrant that such systems will perform in accordance with their specifications. The amount of such obligations is not stated in the license agreements. The Company’s liability for breach of such warranties may be subject to time and materiality limitations, monetary caps and other conditions and defenses.
	The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers and certain other officers.  In addition, from time to time, the Company enters into agreements with unaffiliated parties containing indemnification provisions, the terms of which vary depending on the negotiated terms of each respective agreement.  The amount of the Company’s indemnification obligations is not stated in the agreements.  The Company’s liability under such indemnification agreements and provisions may be subject to time and materiality limitations, monetary caps and other conditions and defenses.
	The Company has entered into purchase and service agreements with its vendors, and consulting agreements with providers of consulting services to the Company, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify certain of such vendors and consultants, respectively, against third party claims arising from the Company’s use of the vendor’s product or the services of the vendor or consultant.
	In connection with the acquisition or disposition of subsidiaries, operating units and business assets by the Company, the Company has entered into agreements containing indemnification provisions, the terms of which vary depending on the negotiated terms of each respective agreement, but which are generally described as follows: (i) in connection with acquisitions made by the Company, the Company has agreed to indemnify the seller against third party claims made against the seller relating to the subject subsidiary, operating unit or asset and arising after the closing of the transaction, and (ii) in connection with dispositions made by the Company, the Company has agreed to indemnify the buyer against damages incurred by the buyer due to the buyer’s reliance on representations and warranties relating to the subject subsidiary, operating unit or business assets in the disposition agreement if such representations or warranties were untrue when made, or due to any breach of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants contained in the agreement.

	Restructuring Charges
	As a result of market changes which have impacted DST’s service offerings to clients, including lower registered account processing, DST has implemented a restructuring initiative to reduce its workforce and consolidate certain facilities to enhance operational efficiency within the Financial Services and Customer Communications Segments. DST anticipates the total costs for these restructuring initiatives will approximate $13.9 million, of which $9.6 million is expected within the Financial Services Segment and $4.3 million is expected within the Customer Communications Segment.
	During the three months ended September 30, 2014, DST incurred pretax charges related to employee termination costs of $6.4 million, of which $5.6 million related to the Financial Services Segment and $0.8 million related to the Customer Communications Segment. These expenses have been included in Costs and expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income. As of September 30, 2014, DST had a liability of $6.0 million associated with these restructuring activities.
	The Company expects to complete the restructuring activities and recognize the remaining $7.5 million of estimated costs during the fourth quarter of 2014. The remaining costs for the Financial Services Segment are anticipated to be $4.0 million, comprised of employee termination costs of $3.8 million and $0.2 million of lease termination costs. The remaining costs for Customer Communications are anticipated to be $3.5 million, comprised of employee termination costs of $0.8 million and $2.7 million of lease termination costs.

	Out-of-period adjustment
	During the third quarter of 2014, in connection with the preparation of the Federal tax return for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company determined that a portion of the deferred tax liability associated with the interest deduction on the convertible debentures, which were redeemed during 2013, should have been recorded as additional paid-in capital rather than a current liability within the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013. To correct the error, the reclassification of $11.6 million from other current liabilities to additional paid-in capital has been reflected within the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2014. Based on the Company’s evaluation of all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors related to this adjustment, the Company concluded that the adjustment was not material to either the prior year or current quarter Consolidated Balance Sheet. The adjustment had no impact on income, expenses or cash flows.
New authoritative accounting guidance	'
	New authoritative accounting guidance
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This standard will replace the existing accounting standard for revenue recognition and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application of this standard is not permitted. This standard permits two transition approaches, either the retrospective transition method or the cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the standard, including which transition approach will be applied and the estimated impact it will have on the consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” This standard changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and modifies the disclosure requirements. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim periods after December 15, 2014. Early adoption of the standard is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The Company has elected to early adopt this standard beginning in the third quarter 2014. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standard update, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” This standard requires netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.
