Historical Capital Allocation Capital deployed to support growth strategy and enhance shareholder returns (dollars in millions) Over the past four years, we have deployed cash and cash flow to fund our capital activities. We also entered into a $150 million credit facility ($75 million outstanding) to provide more flexibility.


 

Non-GAAP Reconciliation This presentation includes non-GAAP information: EBITDA and EBITDA Adjusted. EBITDA is defined as net income (oss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA Adjusted is EBITDA less non-recurring items that are not likely to be indicative of the ongoing operations of our business. EBITDA and EBITDA Adjusted are considered non-GAAP measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. We used EBITDA and EBITDA Adjusted in this presentation for illustrative purposes in comparison with Operating Free Cash Flow which we utilize as a further indicator of operating performance and for planning investing activities. Because EBITDA and EBITDA Adjusted exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and the definition of EBITDA may vary among other companies, the EBITDA measure presented may not be calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.


 

Non-GAAP Reconciliation This presentation also includes operating free cash flow, which is defined as net cash provided (used) by operating activities, excluding cash payments associated with one-time non-recurring items (including employee related activities and early termination of facility leases), less capital expenditures and plus or minus net proceeds from IBM. Operating free cash flow is considered a non- GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. We utilize this non-GAAP financial measure, and believe it is useful to investors, as an indicator of cash flow available for debt repayment and other investing activities, such as capital investments and acquisitions. We utilize operating free cash flow as a further indicator of operating performance and for planning investing activities. Operating free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net cash provided (used) by operating activities. A limitation of operating free cash flow is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period. This measure also does not exclude mandatory debt service obligations and, therefore, does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. We believe that operating free cash flow is useful to investors to provide disclosures of our operating results on the same basis as that used by our management. We also believe that this measure can assist investors in comparing our performance to that of other companies on a consistent basis without regard to certain items, which do not directly affect our ongoing cash flow.


 

Non-GAAP Reconciliation Management generally compensates for limitations in the use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying on comparable GAAP financial measures and providing investors with a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non- GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. This presentation also includes discussion on backlog estimates which are all software license fees, maintenance fees and services specified in executed contracts, as well as revenues from assumed contract renewals to the extent that we believe recognition of the related revenue will occur within the corresponding backlog period. We have historically included assumed renewals in backlog estimates based upon automatic renewal provisions in the executed contract and our historic experience with customer renewal rates. Backlog is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. • Our 60-month backlog estimate represents expected revenues from existing customers using the following key assumptions: • Maintenance fees are assumed to exist for the duration of the license term for those contracts in which the committed maintenance term is less than the committed license term. • License and facilities management arrangements are assumed to renew at the end of their committed term at a rate consistent with our historical experiences. • Non-recurring license arrangements are assumed to renew as recurring revenue streams. • Foreign currency exchange rates are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period for those contracts stated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. • Our pricing policies and practices are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period. Estimates of future financial results are inherently unreliable. Our backlog estimates require substantial judgment and are based on a number of assumptions as described above. These assumptions may turn out to be inaccurate or wrong, including for reasons outside of management's control. For example, our customers may attempt to renegotiate or terminate their contracts for a number of reasons, including mergers, changes in their financial condition, or general changes in economic conditions in the customer's industry or geographic location, or we may experience delays in the development or delivery of products or services specified in customer contracts which may cause the actual renewal rates and amounts to differ from historical experiences. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may also impact the amount of revenue actually recognized in future periods. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contracts included in backlog estimates will actually generate the specified revenues or that the actual revenues will be generated within the corresponding 60-month period. Backlog should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, reported revenue and deferred revenue. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to our GAAP results and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements (continued) Any or all of the forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by the judgments and estimates underlying such assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many of these factors will be important in determining our actual future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. In addition, we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this presentation. All of the foregoing forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by the risk factors discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For a detailed discussion of these risk factors, parties that are relying on the forward-looking statements should review our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Form 10-K filed on March 4, 2009, and our Form 10-Q filed on May 8, 2009, and specifically the sections entitled "Factors That May Affect Our Future Results or the Market Price of Our Common Stock". The risks identified in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include: The global financial crisis affecting the banking system and financial markets and the current global economic conditions which could reduce the demand for our products and services or otherwise adversely impact our cash flows, operating results and financial condition; Restrictions and other financial covenants contained in our current credit facility that limit our flexibility in operating our business; The volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets and adverse changes in the global economy that may negatively impact our liquidity and our ability to access financing; The possibility that our announced restructuring and efficiency efforts as part of the implementation of our strategic plan may not achieve the expected efficiencies and cost savings which could affect our results of operations and financial condition;


 

Forward-Looking Statements (continued) The recent restatements of our financial statements; The consolidation in the financial services industry that may adversely impact the number of customers and revenues in the future; The economic changes in the banking and financial services industries, that apply to most of our customers, that could reduce the demand for our products and services; Management's backlog estimate which may not be accurate and may not generate the predicted revenues; A material weakness that management has identified in our internal control over financial reporting; Our possible exposure to unknown tax liabilities, which could adversely affect our financial condition and/or results of operations; Our stock price, which may be volatile; Our international operations; Rapid change and high competition in the software industry which may limit our ability to compete effectively; The offshore software development activities that we are engaged in, which may not be successful and which may put our intellectual property at risk; One of our most strategic products, BASE24-eps, which could prove to be unsuccessful in the market; Our announcement of the maturity of certain legacy retail payment products, which may result in decreased customer investment in our products, and the possibility that our strategy to migrate customers to our next generation products may be unsuccessful, which may adversely impact our business and financial condition; Our future profitability's dependence on demand for our products and the possibility that lower demand in the future could adversely affect our business; The possibility that if we are unable to successfully perform under the terms of our alliance with IBM or our customers are not receptive to the alliance, then our business, financial condition and/or results of operations may be adversely affected; Our outsourcing agreement with IBM, which may not achieve the level of savings that we anticipate, and the many associated changes in systems and personnel being made, along with the increases in operational and control risk during transition, which may have an impact on the business and its financial condition; Undetected errors or other defects which may be contained in our software products which could damage our reputation with customers, decrease profitability and expose us to liability;
