Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2005 Highlights
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company reported that its Electronic Commerce division processed 244.9 million transactions for the quarter, a 4 percent sequential increase over the third quarter of fiscal 2005, and delivered 41.0 million electronic bills, a sequential increase of 11 percent over the previous quarter. For fiscal 2005, CheckFree processed 905 million transactions compared to 583 million transactions in the previous fiscal year, representing 55 percent annual growth, which includes a full year of walk-in-payment transactions. CheckFree Investment Services now has 1.9 million portfolios under management compared to about 1.6 million portfolios under management at the end of fiscal 2004, representing 20 percent annual growth, and the Software business delivered another solid year of performance, with revenue growth of 20 percent over fiscal 2004.
Refer toAttachment Bfor details on the financial performance of CheckFree’s divisions in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, andAttachment Cfor electronic billing and payment metrics.
Financial Outlook for Fiscal 2006 and the First Quarter of Fiscal 2006
“For fiscal 2006, we expect earnings per share of $1.11 to $1.16 on a GAAP basis and $1.50 to $1.54 on an underlying basis,” said CheckFree Chief Financial Officer, David Mangum. “These expectations take into account the expiration of TransPoint guaranteed revenue minimums during the year.”
“We expect free cash flow of about $170 million for fiscal 2006, essentially flat over fiscal 2005, due to our status as a full-year cash-basis taxpayer without the benefit of the tax credits we utilized in fiscal 2005,” he continued.
“For the first quarter of the year, we estimate revenue between $204 and $209 million with GAAP earnings per share in the range of $0.19 to $0.22,” said Mangum. “This equates to underlying earnings per share in the range of $0.37 to $0.39.”
“We estimate that sequential transaction growth in the first quarter of 2006 will be in the range of 5 to 8 percent, an increase from our traditional quarterly growth expectations primarily due to the migration of former FleetBank Financial electronic billing and payment subscribers to our platform,” he continued. “We expect performance to remain steady in the Investment Services business, while our Software division is expected to experience a normal, seasonally light first quarter for license sales,” Mangum concluded.
The difference between GAAP and underlying earnings expectations for fiscal 2006 and the first quarter of fiscal 2006 is due to expected acquisition-related intangible amortization expense, expenses related to stock options issued prior to July 1, 2004, and related tax benefits.
The Company also announced that in the fourth quarter it repurchased $33.5 million of its common stock under a $40 million stock repurchase program previously authorized by its Board of Directors, which expires August 31, 2005. The Company’s Board of Directors recently approved a new, separate stock repurchase program under which CheckFree may repurchase up to $60 million of its common stock through July 31, 2006.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company supplements its reporting of cash flow information determined in accordance with GAAP by using “free cash flow” in this earnings release as a measure to evaluate its liquidity. The Company defines free cash flow as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, exclusive of the net change in settlement accounts and less capital expenditures. The Company believes free cash flow provides useful information to management and investors in understanding its financial results and assessing its prospects for future performance. CheckFree also uses free cash flow as a factor in determining long-term incentive compensation for senior management.
The Company excludes the net change in settlement accounts from free cash flow because it believes this facilitates management’s and investors’ ability to analyze operating cash flow trends. In connection with its walk-in bill payment business, the Company’s balance sheet reflects settlement assets and settlement obligations. The settlement assets represent payment receipts in transit to the Company from agents, and the settlement obligations represent scheduled but unpaid payments due to billers. Balances in settlement accounts fluctuate daily based on deposit timing and payment transaction volume. These timing differences are not reflective of the Company’s liquidity, and thus, CheckFree excludes the net change in settlement accounts from free cash flow.
As a technology company, CheckFree makes significant capital expenditures in order to update its technology and to remain competitive. The Company’s free cash flow reflects the amount of cash it generated that remains, after it has met those operational needs, for the evaluation and execution of strategic initiatives such as acquisitions, stock and/or debt repurchases and other investing and financing activities, including servicing additional debt obligations.
Free cash flow does not solely represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, as certain of CheckFree’s non-discretionary obligations are also funded out of free cash flow. These consist primarily of payments on capital leases and other long-term commitments, if any, as reflected in the table entitled “Contractual Obligations” in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in CheckFree’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 3, 2004 and in CheckFree’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2004.
The Company’s free cash flow should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net cash provided by operating activities or any other amount determined in accordance with GAAP. Further, CheckFree’s measure of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
CheckFree supplements its reporting of revenue, income (loss) from operations, net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share information determined in accordance with GAAP by using “underlying revenue,” “underlying income (loss) from operations,” “underlying net income (loss)” and “underlying earnings (loss) per share” in this earnings release. Management believes that certain non-cash adjustments to revenue or expense enhance the Company’s evaluation of its performance, and are not pertinent to day to day operational decision making in the business. Therefore, CheckFree excludes these items from GAAP revenue, income (loss) from operations, net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share in calculating underlying revenue, underlying income (loss) from operations, underlying net income (loss) and underlying earnings (loss) per share.
Examples of such non-cash charges may include, but not be limited to, intangible asset amortization expense and in-process research and development costs associated with acquisitions, charges associated with the impairment of intangible assets, charges resulting from warrants issued to third parties, and charges associated with reorganization activities, all offset by the cumulative tax impact of these charges. CheckFree excludes these items in order to more clearly focus on the factors it believes are pertinent to the daily management of the Company’s operations, and management uses underlying results to evaluate the impact of operational business decisions. CheckFree regularly reports underlying results to its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s chief operating decision maker, who uses this information in allocating resources to CheckFree’s various business units. Additionally, as CheckFree rewards its management for their decisions that increase revenue and decrease controllable costs, the Company uses underlying revenue and underlying income (loss) from operations as factors in determining short-term incentive compensation for management, and uses underlying revenue, underlying net income (loss) and underlying earnings (loss) per share as factors in determining long-term incentive compensation for management.
Because CheckFree utilizes underlying financial results in the management of its business and to determine incentive compensation for management, the Company believes this supplemental information is useful to investors for their independent evaluation and understanding of the performance of the Company’s management and its core business performance.
CheckFree’s underlying revenue, underlying income (loss) from operations, underlying net income (loss) and underlying earnings (loss) per share should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, revenue, income (loss) from operations, net income (loss) or earnings (loss) per share or any other amount determined in accordance with GAAP. CheckFree’s measures of underlying revenue, underlying income (loss) from operations, underlying net income (loss) and underlying earnings (loss) per share reflect management’s judgment of particular items, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
