Underlying net income and earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 exclude the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and related tax benefits.

A reconciliation of CheckFree’s quarterly and annual underlying results to its GAAP results is included inAttachment A.
“Our results reflect continued solid execution for the quarter and our fiscal year overall,” said CheckFree Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Pete Kight. “During the year, we significantly increased the number of Consumer Service Providers offering electronic billing and payment services to consumers and extended the services we offer to billers. We also continued to enhance our infrastructure with sizable investments in advanced customer care capability and development of the next generation platform serving our money manager and broker/dealer clients.”

“Delivering process excellence, driving innovation, and defining the quality experience for our customers and their customers will continue to be our focus in fiscal 2005,” he added. “We will continue to consider opportunities for growth by acquisition, optimization of our infrastructure and strategic partnerships.”
Fourth Quarter Highlights
On June 22, 2004, CheckFree completed its acquisition of American Payment Systems, Inc. (APS), a Connecticut-based company offering walk-in bill payment services to 7 million households at more than 10,000 retail and agent locations throughout the United States. The acquisition combines the APS footprint with CheckFree’s current electronic billing and payment infrastructure to offer billing organizations a wider number of payment processing services from a single company.
The Company reported that its Electronic Commerce division processed more than 162.8 million transactions in the quarter, exclusive of APS transactions, a 7 percent sequential increase over the third quarter of fiscal 2004; and delivered 25.9 million electronic bills, a 15 percent sequential increase over the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Refer toAttachment Bfor details on the financial performance of CheckFree’s divisions in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 and the year ending June 30, 2004; andAttachment Cfor core electronic billing and payment metrics.
Financial Outlook
“For fiscal 2005, we expect earnings per share in the range of $0.39 to $0.45 on a GAAP basis,” said CheckFree Chief Financial Officer, David Mangum. “On an underlying basis, the Company expects earnings per share in the range of $1.26 to $1.30. These expectations include a full year of operations for APS within our Electronic Commerce division. We expect APS to be about neutral to GAAP earnings per share, and approximately $0.03 to $0.04 accretive to underlying earnings per share in fiscal 2005. We expect free cash flow to exceed $145 million, which reflects our becoming a cash taxpayer early in the fiscal year.”
“For the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company expects revenue in the range of $170 to $175 million, with GAAP earnings per share in the range of $0.03 to $0.06, and underlying earnings per share in the range of $0.24 to $0.26,” he added. “Included in the first quarter outlook, we expect APS to contribute more than $14 million of revenue and about 27 million bill payment transactions, which will be reported in the Payment Services category of our Electronic Commerce division,” Mangum continued.
The differences between GAAP and underlying earnings per share expected for fiscal 2005 and the first quarter of fiscal 2005 are due to acquisition-related intangible amortization expense and related tax benefits.
“We expect continued steady performance from our Investment Services division during the first quarter, while our Software division is expected to experience a typical seasonally light first quarter for license sales,” Mangum continued. “In Electronic Commerce, we expect first quarter sequential quarterly transaction growth to be in the range of 6 to 8 percent, excluding APS,” he concluded.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Management evaluates the Company’s operations using measures of underlying income, underlying earnings per share, and free cash flow. These financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and they exclude or include items that represent either non-cash charges that do not impact the Company’s free cash flow or other items that are evaluated separately as they arise. The Company believes these measures are useful to investors because they reflect the performance of the Company’s core operations and are consistent with the Company’s internal performance measures. Further, the Company considers free cash flow to be a measure of liquidity that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the Company that can be used for strategic and other purposes. CheckFree’s underlying results and free cash flow should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our GAAP results.
