Summary

Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FIS) reported solid revenue growth in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, with a 6% increase year-over-year to $2.7 billion. This growth was primarily driven by recurring revenue from its Banking and Capital Markets segments, underscoring the resilience of its core business operations. The company continues to navigate a dynamic financial technology landscape, marked by ongoing investments in innovation and strategic acquisitions/divestitures. Significant strategic moves are underway, including the pending acquisition of Global Payments' Issuer Solutions business, expected to close in Q1 2026, and the sale of FIS's remaining equity interest in Worldpay. These transactions are poised to reshape the company's operational and financial profile. Despite increased interest expenses due to new debt financing for the acquisition, FIS maintains sufficient liquidity and is focused on deleveraging post-acquisition, while continuing its regular dividend payouts and active share repurchase program.

Frequently Asked Questions

FIS is undertaking two major strategic transactions: the acquisition of Global Payments' Issuer Solutions business for $13.5 billion, expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, and the simultaneous sale of its remaining equity interest in Worldpay. These moves are expected to significantly reshape the company's business and financial structure.

The planned acquisition of Issuer Solutions involves approximately $8.0 billion in new debt. This has led to an increase in interest expenses, particularly due to bridge facility fees incurred in anticipation of the closing. While this impacts profitability, FIS is focused on deleveraging post-acquisition.

FIS continues to actively engage in its share repurchase program, repurchasing approximately $301 million in shares during the quarter, with $2.1 billion remaining available. The company also confirmed a regular quarterly dividend of $0.40 per common share, payable in December 2025, and expects to continue targeting dividend-per-share growth aligned with adjusted earnings-per-share growth.

The divestiture of a non-strategic business in the first quarter of 2025, along with a decrease in non-recurring revenue from remaining non-strategic businesses, led to a 34% decrease in revenue for the Corporate and Other segment during the three months ended September 30, 2025. This segment also experienced higher corporate costs, impacting its Adjusted EBITDA.
