Summary
Summary of the 10-Q filed August 4, 2010. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FIS) reported significant revenue growth in the first half of 2010, primarily driven by the acquisition of Metavante.
Processing and services revenues increased by 55-56%a year-over-year for both the three-month and six-month periods ending June 30, 2010. This acquisition also contributed to improved gross margins, which expanded by 420-470 basis points, reflecting successful synergy initiatives and cost-saving efforts. Despite increased selling, general, and administrative expenses due to integration costs, the company demonstrated stronger operating income and operating margins, particularly in the Financial Solutions Group (FSG) and Payment Solutions Group (PSG) segments.
The company also highlighted a substantial debt load of approximately $5.6 billionb post-recent financing activities, which necessitates careful management of cash flow for debt service. Looking ahead, FIS is navigating evolving regulatory landscapes, including the Dodd-Frank Act, which could impact interchange fees and network rules, and is managing risks associated with economic conditions and industry consolidation.

05—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary driver behind the significant revenue increase in the first half of 2010?
The primary driver for the substantial revenue increase in the first half of 2010 was the acquisition of Metavante, which was completed in October 2009. This acquisition added significant incremental revenues and contributed to the company's overall growth.
How has the Metavante acquisition impacted the company's profitability and margins?
The Metavante acquisition has positively impacted profitability and margins. The company reported improved gross margins due to synergy initiatives and cost efficiencies realized from the integration.

What are the main financial risks or concerns highlighted in this report?
A primary concern highlighted is the company's substantial debt level, which increased to approximately $5.6 billion following recent financing activities (Notes and Term Loan B).

Are there any significant changes in accounting policies or critical accounting policies disclosed?
The report indicates that there have been no significant changes to the company's critical accounting policies, except for a change in revenue recognition related to ASC Subtopic 605-25, 'Revenue Recognition—Multiple-Element Arrangements,' which the company elected to adopt prospectively as of January 1, 2010.
