First Data Reports First Quarter 2007 Revenue Growth of 12%;
Operating Cash Flow From Continuing Operations of $440 million;
EPS of $0.24 Excluding Items or $0.23 from Continuing Operations
DENVER, April 19, 2007 – First Data Corp. (NYSE: FDC) today reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2007. Consolidated revenues were up 12% to $1.8 billion. Free cash flow was $232 million and operating cash flow from continuing operations was $440 million. Earnings per share was $0.24 excluding items or $0.23 from continuing operations. The items were primarily related to a non cash impairment charge from the wind-down of the Official Check and Money Order business.
First quarter 2007 earnings per share of $0.24 excluding items represents strong growth of 20% over first quarter 2006 earnings per share of $0.20 excluding items. First quarter 2006 earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.28 (reflective of the Western Union spin-off) includes a favorable $0.08 of items, primarily due to a SFAS 133 derivative accounting restatement.
“We have enjoyed an excellent quarter and a great start to the year. Underlying these results were strong individual performances from each of our three main business segments,” said Ric Duques, chairman and chief executive officer. “I’m proud to report that our 29,000 employees around the world delivered another quarter of results that met or exceeded our expectations.”
Revenues for Commercial Services and Financial Institution Services each grew 9% and First Data International grew revenues 39%. Results reflected continued progress in executing our four key strategies: 1) Growing the core business; 2) Expanding product offerings; 3) Improving the overall cost structure, and; 4) Expanding the business globally.

Segment Results
Commercial Services
For the quarter,Commercial Servicesgenerated revenue of $1.0 billion, a growth rate of 9% or 5% excluding reimbursable debit network fees. Operating profit was $225 million, up 5%. As anticipated, the first quarter was impacted by the buyout of a revenue sharing agreement with Discover Financial Services. Excluding the Discover buyout, operating profit growth was 9%. Margin improved to 29.6% excluding reimbursable debit network fees and the Discover buyout. Reported margin for the quarter was 22.1%.
Financial Institution Services
For the quarter,Financial Institution Servicesgenerated revenue of $485 million, up 9% or 7% excluding reimbursables. Operating profit was $97 million, up 15%. Operating profit improved due to continued progress in cost-cutting initiatives. Margin for the quarter improved to 19.9% from 18.9%, or to 31.0% from 28.8% excluding reimbursables.
First Data International
For the quarter,First Data International generated revenue of $367 million, up 39%. Revenue growth on a constant currency basis, excluding acquisitions and divestitures, was 9%.

These incremental investments negatively impacted margin by approximately two percentage points during the quarter.
Outlook
On April 1, 2007, First Data entered into an agreement to be acquired by an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. in a transaction with a total value of approximately $29 billion or $34 per share in cash.

This guidance excludes costs related to the aforementioned proposed transaction as well as costs related to the wind-down of the Official Check and Money Order business, which the company is not able to accurately estimate at this time.

FIRST DATA CORPORATION
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
(Unaudited)
(in millions, except per share amounts)
Management believes the following non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information to assist investors and analysts in understanding our financial results and to better analyze trends in our underlying business. Management uses these measures to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and its segments. Since management finds these measures useful, we believe that our investors will benefit from seeing the Company's results through the eyes of management in addition to seeing our GAAP results.
The Company’s non-GAAP EPS measure excludes certain items that represent fluctuations that may not be indicative of the Company’s future operating performance and may obscure underlying trends in the business, such as impairments, changes in derivative values related to the previously announced SFAS 133 restatement, litigation and regulatory settlements, divestitures and other charges. Non-GAAP measures for the Company’s domestic segments exclude the current year buyout of a revenue sharing agreement for comparative purposes and exclude revenue earned from reimbursements of pass-through costs such as debit network fees and postage. Non-GAAP measures for the Company's international segment exclude acquisitions less than a year old, divestitures and foreign exchange impact from revenue. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide insight into the Company's core performance.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our business. Investors are strongly encouraged to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included below.
