JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fidelity
National Information Services, Inc. (NYSE:FIS) announced today that
it expects pro forma full year 2006 diluted earnings per share of
$1.50 to $1.55, compared to $1.28 pro forma diluted earnings per
share in 2005, and pro forma diluted cash earnings per share of
$2.11 to $2.17, compared to $1.92 pro forma diluted cash earnings
per share in 2005. The company's outlook is based on the following
assumptions: -- Revenue growth of 4% to 6% over $3.9 billion
combined revenue in 2005. -- EBITDA growth of 9% to 11% over $1.0
billion pro forma combined EBITDA in 2005. -- Capital expenditures
of approximately $225 million to $275 million. -- Average weighted
diluted common shares outstanding of approximately 197 million. --
An effective tax rate of approximately 38.3%. -- Free cash flow of
approximately $475 million to $525 million. The merger between
Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. and Certegy Inc. was
effective February 1, 2006. Projected pro forma results for 2006
will include full year 2006 results for both companies, and will
exclude all merger related expenses and costs incurred in
conjunction with Certegy's previously announced potential joint
venture in Brazil. Also excluded will be approximately $24.5
million pre-tax expense associated with the vesting of certain FIS
performance based options issued in conjunction with the
recapitalization and sale of minority interests by FIS in March
2005, as described in Certegy's proxy statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on December 22, 2005. On a GAAP
basis, which will exclude January results for Certegy and include
the aforementioned stock option expense and joint venture costs,
the company expects full year 2006 diluted earnings per share of
$1.39 to $1.44. FIS presents its financial results in accordance
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). However, in
order to provide the investment community with a more thorough
means of evaluating the operating performance of its operations,
FIS also reports several non-GAAP measures, including earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"),
net earnings plus depreciation and amortization less capital
expenditures ("Free Cash Flow") and net earnings plus other
intangible amortization, net of income tax ("Cash Earnings"). Any
non-GAAP measures should be considered in context with the GAAP
financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for GAAP net earnings. Reconciliations between the
aforementioned pro forma, non-GAAP and GAAP results are provided in
the attachments to this press release. FIS will host an investor
and analyst meeting today at 8:30 a.m. EST. William P. Foley II,
chairman, and Lee A. Kennedy, chief executive officer, will host
the meeting. To listen to the broadcast and view the slide

Forma Combined Statements of Continuing Operations for the Year
Ended December 31, 2005 and Year Ended December 31, 2004 These
combined statements of continuing operations include the historical
statements of continuing operations of Certegy and FIS as though
the merger had occurred on January 1, 2004, adjusted for items
related to the transaction as described below: (1) Reflects the
increase in amortization expense as a result of allocating an
assumed portion of the merger consideration to intangible assets of
Certegy, namely customer relationship intangibles and acquired
software, and amortizing such intangibles over their estimated
useful lives commencing as of the assumed acquisition date, offset
by the amortization expense for such intangibles actually recorded
by Certegy during the respective periods. Customer relationships
are being amortized over 10 years on an accelerated method.
Acquired computer software is being amortized over its estimated
useful life of up to 10 years on an accelerated method. The
acquired trademarks are considered to have indefinite useful lives
and, therefore, are not reflected in these adjustments. The
increase in amortization expense is $111.7 million offset by
historical amortization of $26.6 million, or $85.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004, and $111.7 million offset by
historical amortization of $29.4 million, or $82.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2005. For comparison purposes, the first
year purchase amortization for the Certegy purchase accounting is
used for both 2004 and 2005. (2) Under the merger agreement, all
Certegy stock options and restricted stock and restricted stock
units will vest upon the closing of the merger. Accordingly, this
adjustment reflects the elimination of historical stock
compensation expense relating to the vesting of Certegy options in
2004 and 2005, because such expense will be reflected at the time
of closing of the merger. This adjustment amounts to a reduction in
cost of revenues of $1.8 million and $1.0 million and in selling,
general and administrative costs of $14.4 million and $11.2 million
for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. Also,
at closing, Certegy will grant approximately (1) 1.1 million
options, which based on current assumptions, would have a fair
value under SFAS No. 123R of approximately $11 per option, vesting
over four years, and (2) 750,000 options, which based on current
assumptions would have a fair value under SFAS No. 123R of
approximately $12 per option, vesting over three years. The pro
forma adjustment to increase stock compensation expense for these
option grants is $5.9 million in 2004 and 2005, all of which is
reflected in selling, general and administrative costs. (3)
Reflects the removal of merger and acquisition costs that were
recognized as expense by Certegy in 2005. A tax benefit for these
costs was not recorded because the ultimate tax treatment of these
costs cannot be determined with adequate certainty at this time.
(4) Reflects the tax benefit relating to the pro forma adjustments
at the FIS tax rate of approximately 37.6% for the year ended
December 31, 2004, and approximately 37.2% for the year ended
December 31, 2005. (5) This column is the sum of the historical
activity of Aurum, Sanchez, Kordoba and InterCept from January 1,

$8,662 (6) Reflects the increase in amortization expense as a
result of allocating the purchase price of each acquisition to
intangible assets, namely customer relationship intangibles and
computer software, and amortizing such intangibles over their
estimated useful lives commencing as of the assumed acquisition
date. The increase in amortization expense is $23.4 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004 (Aurum-$1.6 million; Sanchez-$1.6
million; Kordoba-$5.9 million; and Intercept-$14.3 million). (7) In
accordance with SFAS No. 123, unearned compensation cost was
measured upon consummation of the Sanchez acquisition for the
unearned portion of the fair value of the unvested Sanchez options
that were exchanged for unvested FNF options. The amortization of
the unearned compensation cost over the remaining vesting periods
results in compensation expense, which is charged to the combined
statements of earnings, of $1.0 million for the year ended December
31, 2004. (8) Reflects an increase in interest expense for the
years ended December 31, 2004, and 2005, of $91.1 million and $21.0
million, respectively, as if the recapitalization completed on
March 9, 2005 was completed on January 1, 2004. (9) Reflects the
tax benefit relating to the pro forma adjustments at FIS's tax rate
of approximately 37.6% for the year ended December 31, 2004, and
approximately 37.2% for the year ended December 31, 2005. Appendix
C Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. Reconciliation of
Non-GAAP Measures-2006 Projections (All amounts in millions, except
per share amounts) FIS presents its financial results in accordance
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). However, in
order to provide the investment community with a more thorough
means of evaluating the operating performance of its operations,
FIS also reports several non-GAAP measures, including earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"),
net earnings plus depreciation and amortization less capital
expenditures ("Free Cash Flow") and net earnings plus other
intangible amortization, net of income tax ("Cash Earnings"). Any
non- GAAP measures should be considered in context with the GAAP
financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or
