Summary
Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FIS) filed this Form 8-K on May 8, 2015, primarily to recast prior period financial statements in accordance with SEC regulations. This recasting reflects a significant organizational realignment completed in March 2015, which changed how the company's chief operating decision maker reviews and allocates resources. As a result, FIS is now reporting its financial performance under three new segments: Integrated Financial Solutions, Global Financial Solutions, and Corporate and Other, effective from the first quarter of 2015. This filing does not alter previously reported revenues, operating income, or net earnings but provides updated segment information for the years 2014, 2013, and 2012. Investors should note that this report is for compliance purposes related to future filings (e.g., registration statements, proxy statements) and does not update or modify disclosures made in the 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than to illustrate the new segment structure. For subsequent developments, investors should refer to FIS's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, also filed on May 8, 2015.
