Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. Segments Disclosure
Segment Information
The Company reports its financial performance based on the following segments: Banking Solutions, Capital Market Solutions and Corporate and Other. Below is a summary of each segment.
Banking Solutions ("Banking")
The Banking segment is focused on serving financial institutions with core processing software, transaction processing software and complementary applications and services, many of which interact directly with core processing software. We sell these solutions on either a bundled or stand-alone basis. Clients in this segment include global financial institutions, U.S. regional and community banks, credit unions and commercial lenders, as well as government institutions and other commercial organizations. We provide our clients integrated solutions characterized by multi-year processing contracts that generate recurring revenue. The predictable nature of cash flows generated from the Banking segment provides opportunities for further investments in innovation, integration, information and security, and compliance in a cost-effective manner.
Capital Market Solutions ("Capital Markets")
The Capital Markets segment is focused on serving global financial services clients and multi-national corporations with a broad array of buy- and sell-side, treasury, risk management and lending solutions. Clients in this segment include asset managers, private equity firms, sell-side securities brokerage and trading firms, insurers, asset and auto financiers and other commercial organizations. Our solutions include a variety of mission-critical buy- and sell-side applications for recordkeeping, data and analytics, trading and financing as well as corporate treasury and risk management applications. Capital Markets clients purchase our solutions in various ways including licensing and managing technology "in-house," using consulting and third-party service providers, as well as procuring fully outsourced end-to-end solutions. Our long-established relationships with many of these financial and commercial institutions generate significant recurring revenue. We have made, and continue to make, investments in modern platforms, advanced technologies, open APIs, machine learning and AI, and regulatory technology to support our Capital Markets clients.
Corporate and Other
The Corporate and Other segment consists of corporate overhead expense, certain leveraged functions and miscellaneous expenses that are not included in the operating segments, as well as certain non-strategic businesses. The overhead and leveraged costs relate to corporate marketing, finance, accounting, human resources, legal, compliance and internal audit functions as well as other costs, such as acquisition, integration and transformation-related expenses and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, that are not considered when management evaluates revenue-generating segment performance. Our other operating income recorded in connection with the TSA is also recorded in Corporate and Other.
In the Corporate and Other segment, the Company recorded acquisition, integration and other costs for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, comprised of the following (in millions):

Amounts in table may not sum due to rounding.
Through the year ended December 31, 2023, Other costs in Corporate and Other also include incremental amortization expense associated with shortened estimated useful lives and accelerated amortization methods for certain software and deferred contract cost assets resulting from the Company's platform modernization, as described in Notes 10 and 11, impairment charges described in Notes 10 and 11 and costs that were previously incurred in support of the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business but are not directly attributable to it and thus were not recorded in discontinued operations.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of segment profit or loss that is reported to the chief operating decision maker, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President, who utilizes the measure for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to our segments, is presented in conformity with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) before net interest expense, net other income (expense), income tax provision (benefit), equity method investment earnings (loss), and depreciation and amortization, and excludes certain costs that do not constitute normal, recurring, cash operating expenses necessary to operate our business. These excluded costs generally consist of the purchase price amortization of acquired intangible assets as well as acquisition, integration and certain other costs and asset impairments. These excluded costs are recorded in the Corporate and Other segment. After adjusting for the foregoing items, our significant segment expenses consist of the following categories:
•Direct cost of revenue, which consists primarily of the cost of shipping, equipment, third-party data processing, loyalty program redemptions, printing, and card stock;
•Net personnel costs, which consist primarily of employee compensation and benefits expense and third-party labor and outsourcing costs, net of capitalized amounts;
•Infrastructure costs, which consist primarily of software, hardware, facilities and network costs;
•Allocated costs, which consist primarily of shared infrastructure and related operational personnel costs, as well as leveraged sales personnel costs, that are allocated to Banking and Capital Markets from Corporate and Other according to estimated usage; and
•Other costs, which consists primarily of the cost of third-party consulting and advisory services, employee travel and training, marketing, insurance, and bad debt, offset by TSA services income.
Summarized financial information for the Company's segments is shown in the following tables. The Company does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment asset data; therefore, such information is not presented.

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
