Summary

Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FIS) filed an 8-K on April 26, 2012, to announce its first-quarter 2012 financial results. While the 8-K itself contains minimal new information, it serves as a formal notification that FIS released its earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Investors looking for the specifics of these results, including revenue, net income, earnings per share, and any forward-looking guidance, would need to refer to the attached exhibits, specifically the press release (Exhibit 99.1) and the financial results presentation (Exhibit 99.2).
