(NEW YORK — February 14, 2012) — ACI Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACIW), a leading international provider of payment systems, today announced financial results for the period ended December 31, 2011. We will hold a conference call on February 14, 2012, at 8:30 a.m. EST to discuss this information. Interested persons may also access a real-time audio broadcast of the teleconference at www.aciworldwide.com/investors.

“In 2011, ACI continued to prove the high demand for our market leading products across all geographies. We saw solid growth in both revenue and operating income over the prior year and maintained record growth in sales as customers purchased global or multi-country product offerings. Our 60-month backlog of committed and renewable client


bookings continues to rise strongly as average deal size expands. Furthermore, we anticipate another good year in 2012, with continued growth in profitability and EBITDA margin,” said Chief Executive Officer Philip Heasley. “Finally, we are excited to have closed the transaction with S1 Corporation which we believe will provide greater growth prospects and expanded customer relationship opportunities.”

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Sales

Sales bookings in the quarter totaled $171.4 million which was a decrease of $3.4 million, or 2%, as compared to the December 2010 quarter. Noteworthy changes in the mix of sales compared to last year’s quarter included a rise of $44.8 million in add-on sales.

For the full year 2011, sales bookings rose by $31.1 million to total $556.3 million as compared to $525.2 million for the full year 2010. The positive variance was driven by a rise of $15.5 million in new and add-on sales with the remaining $15.7 million of growth due to higher term extensions.

Revenues

Revenue was $135.0 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $6.2 million, or 4%, over the prior-year quarter. The change in revenue reflects lower non-recurring implementation services revenues as fewer projects moved out of backlog into current period revenue compared to the prior-year quarter.

Revenue for the full year 2011 was $465.1 million, an increase of $46.7 million, or 11%, over revenues of $418.4 million for the full year 2010. Revenue growth was strong across all revenue categories and geographies.

Backlog

As of December 31, 2011, our estimated 60-month backlog was $1.617 billion, an increase of $62 million as compared to $1.555 billion at December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to the sales bookings signed during calendar 2011. As of December 31, 2011, our 12-month backlog was $424 million, an increase of $43 million as compared to $381 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.


Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $98.0 million in the December 2011 quarter compared to $98.4 million in the December 2010 quarter, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 0.4%. Excluding $3.2 million of professional fees related to the S1 acquisition, operating expenses decreased $3.6 million, or 4%.

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $398.9 million, an increase of $34.1 million, or 9%, as compared to $364.8 million for the prior year ended December 31, 2010. Excluding $6.7 million of professional fees related to the S1 acquisition, operating expenses increased $27.4 million, or 8%. Operating expense growth was led primarily by higher sales and marketing expenses and higher research and development expenses.

Operating Income

Operating income was $37.0 million in the December 2011 quarter, a decrease of approximately $5.8 million, or 14%, compared to $42.8 million for the December 2010 quarter as fewer project ‘go-lives’ were recognized in the fourth quarter of 2011 as compared to prior-year fourth quarter. Excluding $3.2 million of professional fees related to the S1 acquisition, operating income decreased $2.6 million, or 6%.

Operating income for the full year 2011 was $66.2 million, an improvement of $12.6 million, or 24%, compared to operating income of $53.6 million for the full year 2010. Excluding $6.7 million of professional fees related to the S1 acquisition, operating income increased $19.3 million, or 36%.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was $48.6 million in the December 2011 quarter as compared to $51.7 million in Adjusted EBITDA in the December 2010 quarter. Excluding $3.2 million of professional fees related to the S1 acquisition, Adjusted EBITDA was essentially flat with the prior year quarter.

Full year 2011 Adjusted EBITDA was $105.9 million, an increase of $18.1 million, or 21%, as compared to $87.8 million for full year 2010. Excluding $6.7 million of professional fees related to the S1 acquisition, Adjusted EBITDA increased $24.8 million, or 28%.


Liquidity

We had $197.1 million in cash on hand at December 31, 2011. Cash on hand increased $17.4 million as compared to September 30, 2011 primarily as a result of strong operating income as well as strong cash collections. As of December 31, 2011, we also had $175.0 million in unused borrowings under the revolving credit facility portion of our credit agreement.

In February 2012, our board of directors approved an increase of $52.1 million to its current stock repurchase authorization, bringing the total authorization to $262.1 million, of which $75 million remains available.

Operating Free Cash Flow

Operating free cash flow (“OFCF”) for the quarter was $30.0 million as compared to $28.0 million for the December 2010 quarter.

OFCF for the full year 2011 was $67.2 million, an increase of $4.4 million over the full year 2010.

Other Expense

Other expense for the quarter was $1.0 million, compared to other expense of $0.4 million in the December 2010 quarter. The increase in other expense versus the prior-year quarter resulted primarily from a $0.6 million negative variance in foreign exchange losses.

Other expense for the full year 2011 was $1.9 million as compared to other expense of $4.9 million for the full year 2010. The improvement was led primarily by a $2.5 million positive variance in foreign exchange losses.

Taxes

Income tax expense in the December 2011 quarter was $12.1 million, or a 34% effective tax rate, compared to $15.3 million, or a 36% effective tax rate, in the prior-year quarter.

Income tax expense for the year ended December 2011 was $18.5 million, or a 29% effective tax rate, as compared to $21.5 million, or a 44% effective tax rate, for the prior year ended December 2010. The year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate was largely due to a $3.1 million liability release related to our IP transfer and a $2.2 million release of tax reserves in 2011 that did not occur in 2010.


Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was $23.9 million, compared to net income of $27.1 million during the fourth quarter 2010.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $45.9 million, compared to net income of $27.2 million during the same period last year, an increase of $18.7 million, or 69%.

Earnings per share for the quarter and year ended December 2011 was $0.70 and $1.34 per diluted share, respectively, compared to $0.80 earnings per diluted share for the quarter and year ended December 2010. Annual EPS represented a rise of 68% compared to the same period last year. The improvement was largely due to stronger operating income and lower income tax expense.

Weighted Average Shares Outstanding

Total diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 34.2 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to 33.7 million shares outstanding for the quarter and 33.9 million shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2010.

S1 Transaction

On February 10, 2012, we closed the exchange offer for S1 Corporation for approximately $360 million in cash and 5.9 million shares of our stock resulting in a total purchase price of $569 million, or $10.36 per share.

2012 Guidance

ACI is guiding on three metrics for calendar year 2012. On an organic basis, we currently expect to achieve revenue in a range of $490-$500 million, operating income of $84-$89 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $124-$129 million. Including the incremental impact of the acquisition of S1 Corporation, we expect to achieve revenue in a range of $696-$706 million, operating income of $99-$104 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $165-$170 million. The above guidance excludes approximately $16 million of one-time charges resulting from the transaction.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

ACI is presenting operating free cash flow, which is defined as net cash provided (used) by operating activities, less net after-tax payments associated with S1 acquisition costs, net after-tax payments associated with IBM IT outsourcing transition costs, 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.

ACI also includes 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. Additionally, because backlog estimates are operating metrics, the estimates are not required to be subject to the same level of internal review or controls as a GAAP financial measure.

Backlog should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, reported revenue and deferred revenue.

ACI also includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income plus income tax expense, net interest expense, net other expenses, depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income.

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.

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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
32
ACI is presenting operating free cash flow, which is defined as net cash provided
(used) by operating activities, less net after-tax payments associated with S1
acquisition costs, net after-tax payments associated with IBM IT outsourcing
transition costs, and 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 Financial Measures
33
ACI also includes 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.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures
34
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.
ACI also includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income plus income tax expense,
net interest expense, net other expenses, depreciation, amortization and non-cash
compensation.  Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by
SEC Regulation G.  Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a
substitute for, net income.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures
35
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.
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.


Forward-Looking Statements
36
This presentation contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve
a number of risks and uncertainties. Generally, forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to
historical or current facts and may include words or phrases such as “believes,” “ will,” “expects,”
“anticipates,” “intends,” and words and phrases of similar impact.  The forward-looking
statements are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements regarding:
Our belief that we have visibility into forward revenue and profitability attainment;
Expectations and assumptions regarding the recent acquisition of S1 relating to (i) creating a
worldwide industry leader in financial and payments software serving FIs, processors and
merchant retailers, (ii) creating compelling pro forma financials, (iii) complementary products and
customers expand breadth and features/ functions, (iv) enhanced global product capabilities to
expand growth opportunities (v) greater scale and cost synergies to drive margin expansion and
earnings accretion and (vi) strong financial cash profile post closing and leverage ratio;
The company’s 12-month and 60-month backlog estimates and assumptions, including (i) our
belief that backlog from monthly recurring revenues and project go-lives will continue to drive
current quarter GAAP revenue and lead to predictable quarterly performance, and (ii) expectations
for backlog to contribute a similar percentage of 2012 revenue led by recurring revenue and
project go-live events as it did in 2011; and
Expectations and assumptions regarding (i) ACI organic and ACI/S1 combined 2012 financial
guidance related to revenue, operating income and adjusted EBITDA and (ii) expectations and
assumptions regarding other factors impacting our 2012 financial guidance.


Forward-Looking Statements
37
All of the foregoing forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by the risk factors discussed in our filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such factors include but are not limited to, risks related to the
global financial crisis and the continuing decline in the global economy; volatility and disruption of the capital
and credit markets and adverse changes in the global economy; consolidations and failures in the financial
services industry; increased competition; restrictions and other financial covenants in our credit facility; the
restatement of our financial statements; the accuracy of management’s backlog estimates; impairment of our
goodwill or intangible assets; exposure to unknown tax liabilities; risks from operating internationally; our
offshore software development activities; customer reluctance to switch to a new vendor; the performance of
our strategic product, BASE24-eps; our strategy to migrate customers to our next generation products;
ratable or deferred recognition of certain revenue associated with customer migrations and the maturity of
certain of our products; demand for our products; failure to obtain renewals of customer contracts or to
obtain such renewals on favorable terms; delay or cancellation of customer projects or inaccurate project
completion estimates; business interruptions or failure of our information technology and communication
systems; our alliance with International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”); the complexity of our
products and services and the risk that they may contain hidden defects or be subjected to security breaches
or viruses; compliance of our products with applicable legislation, governmental regulations and industry
standards; our compliance with privacy regulations; the protection of our intellectual property in intellectual
property litigation; future acquisitions, strategic partnerships and investments and litigation; the risk that
expected synergies, operational efficiencies and cost savings from our recent acquisition of S1 Corporation
(“S1”) may not be fully realized or realized within the expected timeframe; the cyclical nature of our revenue
and earnings and the accuracy of forecasts due to the concentration of revenue generating activity during the
final weeks of each quarter; and volatility in our stock price.  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 most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports
on Forms 10-Q and 8-K.
