NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. | Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ACI Worldwide, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2015, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 is derived from the audited financial statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed on February 26, 2015. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be attained in the future.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Receivables, net

Receivables represent amounts billed and amounts earned that are to be billed in the near future. Included in accrued receivables are services and software hosting revenues earned in the current period but billed in the following period as well as license revenues that are determined to be fixed and determinable but that will be billed in future periods.

Individuals and businesses settle their obligations to the Company’s various clients, primarily utility and other public sector clients, using credit or debit cards or via ACH payments. The Company creates a receivable for the amount due from the credit or debit card company and an offsetting payable to the client. Once confirmation is received that the funds have been received, the Company settles the obligation to the client. Due to timing, in some instances, the Company may receive the funds into bank accounts controlled by and in the Company’s name that are not disbursed to its clients by the end of the day resulting in a settlement deposit on the Company’s books.

Off Balance Sheet Accounts

The Company also enters into agreements with certain clients to process payment funds on their behalf. When an automated clearing house or automated teller machine network payment transaction is processed, a transaction is initiated to withdraw funds from the designated source account and deposit them into a settlement account, which is a trust account maintained for the benefit of the Company’s clients. A simultaneous transaction is initiated to transfer funds from the settlement account to the intended destination account. These “back to back” transactions are designed to settle at the same time, usually overnight, such that the funds are received from the source at the same time as the funds are sent to their destination. However, due to the transactions being with various financial institutions there may be timing differences that result in float balances. These funds are maintained in accounts for the benefit of the client which are separate from the Company’s corporate assets. As the Company does not take ownership of the funds, those settlement accounts are not included in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company is entitled to interest earned on the fund balances. The collection of interest on these settlement accounts is considered in the Company’s determination of its fee structure for clients and represents a portion of the payment for services performed by the Company. The amount of off balance sheet settlement funds as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $223.4 million and $224.9 million, respectively.

(1) | Goodwill from acquisitions relates to adjustments in the goodwill recorded for the acquisition of Retail Decisions Europe Limited and Retail Decisions, Inc. (collectively “ReD”) as discussed in Note 2. The purchase price allocation for ReD is preliminary as of June 30, 2015 and accordingly is subject to future changes during the maximum one-year allocation period.

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, we assess goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year using October 1 balances or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. We evaluate goodwill at the reporting unit level and have identified our reportable segments, Americas, EMEA, and Asia/Pacific, as our reporting units. Recoverability of goodwill is measured using a discounted cash flow model incorporating discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. Use of a discounted cash flow model is common practice in impairment testing in the absence of available transactional market evidence to determine the fair value.

The calculated fair value was substantially in excess of the current carrying value for all reporting units based upon our October 1, 2014 annual impairment test and there have been no indications of impairment in the subsequent periods.

Revenue

Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”)

ASC 985-605, Revenue Recognition: Software, requires the seller of software that includes post contract customer support (maintenance or “PCS”) to establish VSOE of fair value of the undelivered element of the contract in order to account separately for the PCS revenue. The Company establishes VSOE of fair value of PCS by reference to stated renewals for all identified market segments. The Company also considers factors such as whether the period of the initial PCS term is relatively long when compared to the term of the software license or whether the PCS renewal is significantly below the Company’s normal pricing practices. In determining whether PCS pricing is significantly below the Company’s normal pricing practice, the Company considers the population of stated renewal rates that are within a reasonably narrow range of the median within the identified market segment over the trailing 12 month period.

Certain of the Company’s software license arrangements include PCS terms that fail to achieve VSOE of fair value due to non-substantive renewal periods, or contain a range of possible non-substantive PCS renewal amounts. For these arrangements, VSOE of fair value of PCS does not exist and revenues for the software license, PCS and services, if applicable, are considered to be one accounting unit and are therefore recognized ratably over the longer of the contractual service term or PCS term once the delivery of both services has commenced. The Company typically classifies revenues associated with these arrangements in accordance with the contractually specified amounts, which approximate fair value assigned to the various elements, including software license, maintenance and services, if applicable.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which states that entities should present the debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The effective date for the revised standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the impact of this standard to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standard Codification 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The standard requires that entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. On July 9, 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date for this ASU to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. At this time, the Company has not selected a transition method. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flow.

2. | Acquisitions

Fiscal 2014 Acquisitions

In 2014, the Company completed one acquisition at an aggregate cost of $205.1 million.

Retail Decisions

On August 12, 2014, the Company completed the acquisitions of Retail Decisions Europe Limited (“ReD Europe”) and all its subsidiaries and Retail Decisions, Inc (“ReD, Inc.”) for $205.1 million in cash. The Company has included the financial results of ReD in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. As a leader in fraud prevention solutions, the acquisition of ReD enhances the Company’s Universal Payments strategy and further strengthens the Company’s leadership position in the fast-growing payments risk management space.

To fund this acquisition and related transaction fees, the Company drew an additional $60.5 million on the Revolving Credit Facility and increased the Term portion of the Credit Agreement by an additional $150.0 million. See Note 3, Debt, for terms of the financing arrangement.

The Company incurred approximately $2.7 million in transaction related expenses during the year ended December 31, 2014, including fees to the investment bank, legal and other professional fees.

ReD contributed approximately $9.8 million and $20.1 million in revenue and an estimated operating loss of $2.1 million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, which includes severance expense related to the integration activities.

The consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition has been allocated preliminarily to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price is based upon certain analyses that have not been completed as of the date of this filing, including but not limited to, other assets and liabilities, and certain tax matters. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation is considered preliminary and is subject to future adjustments during the maximum one-year allocation period.

The Company made adjustments to the purchase price allocation as certain analysis was completed and additional information became available for deferred income taxes, goodwill, accrued employee compensation, income taxes payable and other current liabilities. These adjustments and any resulting adjustments to the condensed consolidated statements of income were not material to the Company’s previously reported operating results or financial position.

Factors contributing to the purchase price that resulted in the goodwill (which is not tax deductible) include the acquisition of management, sales, and technology personnel with the skills to market new and existing products of the Company, enhanced product capabilities, complementary products and customers. Pro forma results for ReD are not presented because they are not material.

3. | Debt

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $508.2 million and $300.0 million outstanding under its Term Credit Facility and Senior Notes, respectively, with up to $250.0 million of unused borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility portion of the Credit Agreement, as amended. The amount of unused borrowings actually available varies in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Credit Agreement

The Company entered into the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), as amended, with a syndicate of financial institutions, as lenders, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Administrative Agent, providing for revolving loans, swingline loans, letters of credit and a term loan on November 10, 2011. The Credit Agreement consists of a five-year $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which includes a sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a sublimit for swingline loans, and $650.0 million total under the five-year senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Credit Facility” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement also allows the Company to request optional incremental term loans and increases in the revolving commitment.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the rate of interest per annum publicly announced by the Administrative Agent as its Prime Rate, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (3) a LIBOR based rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for a one-month interest period adjusted for certain additional costs plus 1% or (b) a LIBOR based rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is, based on the calculation of the applicable consolidated total leverage ratio, between 0.50% to 1.50% with respect to base rate borrowings and between 1.50% and 2.50% with respect to LIBOR based borrowings. Interest is due and payable monthly. The interest rate in effect at June 30, 2015 for the Credit Facility was 2.44%.

In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears. The Company is also required to pay letter of credit fees on the maximum amount available to be drawn under all outstanding letters of credit in an amount equal to the applicable margin on LIBOR based borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility on a per annum basis, payable quarterly in arrears, as well as customary fronting fees for the issuance of letters of credit fees and agency fees.

The Company is permitted to voluntarily reduce the unutilized portion of the commitment amount and repay outstanding loans under the Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR based loans.

Senior Notes

On August 20, 2013, the Company completed a $300.0 million offering of Senior Notes at an issue price of 100% of the principal amount in a private placement for resale to qualified institutional buyers. The Senior Notes bear an interest rate of 6.375% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on August 15 and February 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2014. Interest began accruing on August 20, 2013. The Senior Notes will mature on August 15, 2020.

Maturities on long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2015 are as follows:

Fiscal year ending December 31, |  |  |

2019 |  |  | — |
Thereafter |  |  | 300,000 |
Total |  | $ | 808,230 |

The Credit Agreement and Senior Notes also contain certain customary mandatory prepayment provisions. If certain events, as specified in the Credit Agreement or Senior Notes agreement, shall occur, the Company may be required to repay all or a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility or Senior Notes.

The Credit Facility will mature on August 20, 2018 and the Senior Notes will mature on August 15, 2020. The Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes do not amortize and the Term Credit Facility does amortize, with principal payable in consecutive quarterly installments.

Of this amount, $12.8 million was remaining as of June 30, 2015. The Company recorded $7.0 million and $5.8 million in other current liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

4. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

| • |  | Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

| • |  | Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

| • |  | Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Available-for-Sale Securities

Equity securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs. The Company’s equity securities of $33.8 million at December 31, 2014, were comprised entirely of Yodlee, Inc. (“Yodlee”) common stock and were included in noncurrent assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company utilized quoted prices from an active exchange market to fair value its equity securities.

13

##### Table of Contents

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company sold all of its Yodlee stock holdings in a series of sales and realized a total gain of $24.5 million, which is included in other, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Debt

The fair value of our Credit Agreement approximates the carrying value due to the floating interest rate (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The Company measures the fair value of its Senior Notes based on Level 2 inputs, which include quoted market prices and interest rate spreads of similar securities. The fair value of our Senior Notes was $316.9 million at June 30, 2015 and $315.0 million at December 31, 2014, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents approximate the carrying values due to the short period of time to maturity (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy).

The Company assesses its classifications within the fair value hierarchy at each reporting period. There were no transfers between any levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

5. | Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the Company’s 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the “ESPP”), a total of 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance to eligible employees. Participating employees are permitted to designate up to the lesser of $25,000 or 10% of their annual base compensation for the purchase of common stock under the ESPP. Purchases under the ESPP are made one calendar month after the end of each fiscal quarter. The price for shares of common stock purchased under the ESPP is 85% of the stock’s fair market value on the last business day of the three-month participation period. Shares issued under the ESPP during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 totaled 85,659 and 68,079, respectively.

Stock-Based Payments

A summary of stock options issued pursuant to the Company’s stock incentive plans is as follows:

|  | Number of Shares |  |  | Weighted- Average Exercise Price |  |  | Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) |  |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value of In-the-Money Options |
Outstanding as of December 31, 2014 |  |  | 5,282,693 |  |  | $ | 12.06 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

As of June 30, 2015, the Company expects that 93.1% of the options will vest over the vesting period.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $6.49 and $9.02, respectively. The Company issued treasury shares for the exercise of stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $10.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

##### Table of Contents

The fair value of options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, a pricing model acceptable under U.S. GAAP, with the following weighted-average assumptions:

|  | Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 |  |  | Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 |
Expected life (years) |  |  | 5.93 |  |  |  | 5.93 |
Interest rate |  |  | 1.4 | % |  |  | 1.8 | %
Volatility |  |  | 32.1 | % |  |  | 45.2 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |

Expected volatilities are based on the Company’s historical common stock volatility derived from historical stock price data for historical periods commensurate with the options’ expected life. The expected life is the average number of years that the Company estimated that the options will be outstanding, based primarily on historical employee option exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on United States Treasury zero coupon issues with a term equal to the expected term at the date of grant of the options. The expected dividend yield is zero as the Company has historically paid no dividends and does not anticipate dividends to be paid in the future.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company granted supplemental stock options with three tranches at a grant date fair value of $8.01, $7.56, and $7.00, respectively, per share that vest, if at all, based upon (i) tranche one - any time after the third anniversary date if the stock has traded at 133% of the exercise price for at least 20 consecutive trading days, (ii) tranche two - any time after the fourth anniversary date if the stock has traded at 167% of the exercise price for at least 20 consecutive trading days, and (iii) tranche three - any time after the fifth anniversary date if the stock has traded at 200% of the exercise price for at least 20 consecutive trading days. The employees must also remain employed with the Company as of the anniversary date in order for the options to vest. The exercise price of the supplemental stock options is the closing market price on the date the awards were granted. In order to determine the grant date fair value of the supplemental stock options, a Monte Carlo simulation model was used. With respect to options granted that vest based on the achievement of certain market conditions, the grant date fair value of such options was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

|  | Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 |
Expected life (years) |  |  | 7.50 |
Interest rate |  |  | 1.7 | %
Volatility |  |  | 41.9 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | — |

Performance-Based Restricted Share Awards

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, pursuant to the Company’s 2005 Incentive Plan, the Company granted Performance-Based Restricted Share Awards (“PBRSAs”). The PBRSA grants provide for the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock, if any, to the participant during the requisite service period (vesting period) and the participant has voting rights for each share of common stock. These PBRSA awards are earned, if at all, based upon the achievement of performance goals over a specific period (the “Performance Period”) and completion of the service period. The PBRSAs have a graded-vesting period of three years (33% vest each year) and are subject to performance targets based on the Company’s earnings before income tax, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”). The first 33% of the PBRSAs issued vest subject to meeting the EBITDA target based for the year-ending December 31, 2015. The remaining 66% of the PBRSAs issued, vest 33% at the end of year two and 33% at the end of year three, subject to meeting the EBITDA target for the year ending December 31, 2016. In no event will any of the PBRSA shares become earned if the Company’s EBITDA is below a predetermined minimum threshold level at the conclusion of the Performance Period. Assuming achievement of the predetermined EBITDA threshold level, up to 150% of the PBRSA shares may be earned upon achievement of performance goals equal to or exceeding the maximum target levels for the performance goals over the Performance Period. Management will evaluate, on a quarterly basis, the probability that the threshold performance goals will be achieved, if at all, and the anticipated level of attainment in order to determine the amount of compensation costs to record in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Through June 30, 2015, the Company has accrued compensation costs assuming an attainment level of 100% for all PBRSA grants. The Company recognizes compensation expense for PBRSAs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods.

A summary of nonvested PBRSAs as of June 30, 2015 and changes during the period are as follows:

11. | Segment Information

The Company’s chief operating decision maker, together with other senior management personnel, currently focus their review of consolidated financial information and the allocation of resources based on reporting of operating results, including revenues and operating income, for the geographic regions of the Americas, EMEA and Asia/Pacific and the Corporate line item. The Company’s products are sold and supported through distribution networks covering these three geographic regions, with each distribution network having its own sales force. The Company supplements its distribution networks with independent reseller and/or distributor arrangements. All administrative costs that are not directly attributable or reasonably allocable to a geographic segment are tracked in the Corporate line item. As such, the Company has concluded that its three geographic regions are its reportable segments.

The Company allocates segment support expenses such as global product development, business operations, and product management based upon percentage of revenue per segment. Depreciation and amortization costs are allocated as a percentage of the headcount by segment. The Corporate line item consists of the corporate overhead costs that are not allocated to reportable segments. Corporate overhead costs relate to human resources, finance, legal, accounting, merger and acquisition activity and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and other costs that are not considered when management evaluates segment performance. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, the Corporate line item also includes the gain on the sale of the Company’s holdings in Yodlee.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was positively impacted by the gain on the sale of the Company’s investment in Yodlee as well as by profits in certain foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates and domestic losses taxed at higher rates. The

21

##### Table of Contents

effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was positively impacted by profits in certain foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates and domestic losses taxed at higher rates, partially offset by losses in other foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 16.5%. The Company reported a tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2014 while reporting a pretax profit for the same period. The resulting effective tax rate is negative. The earnings of the Company’s foreign entities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 were $20.0 million and $24.2 million, respectively. The tax rates in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates are less than the domestic tax rate. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was positively impacted by the gain on the sale of the Company’s investment in Yodlee as well as by profits in certain foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates and domestic losses taxed at higher rates. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was positively impacted by profits in certain foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates and domestic losses taxed at higher rates, partially offset by losses in other foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates.

The Company’s effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis and could be negatively affected to the extent earnings are lower in the countries in which it operates that have a lower statutory rate or higher in the countries in which it operates that have a higher statutory rate or to the extent it has losses sustained in countries where the future utilization of losses are uncertain. The Company’s effective tax rate could also fluctuate due to changes in the valuation of its deferred tax assets or liabilities, or by changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles, or interpretations thereof. In addition, the Company is occasionally subject to examination of its income tax returns by tax authorities in the jurisdictions it operates. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was $24.3 million as of June 30, 2015 and $14.8 million as of December 31, 2014, excluding related liabilities for interest and penalties of $2.7 million and $2.4 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease within the next 12 months by approximately $3.9 million, due to the settlement of various audits and the expiration of statutes of limitation.

Overview

ACI Worldwide powers electronic payments and banking for more than 5,600 financial institutions, retailers, billers, and processors around the world. In addition, we provide bill presentment and payment collection services to billers such as tax authorities, higher education, utilities, and health care providers. Through our integrated suite of software products and hosted services, we deliver a broad range of solutions for electronic payments, transaction banking, mobile, branch and voice banking, fraud detection and trade finance.

In addition to our own products, we distribute, or act as a sales agent for, software developed by third parties. Our products are sold and supported through distribution networks covering three geographic regions – the Americas, EMEA and Asia/Pacific. Each distribution network has its own globally coordinated sales force and supplements its sales force with independent reseller and/or distributor networks. Our products and services are used principally by financial institutions, retailers and electronic payment processors, both in domestic and international markets. Accordingly, our business and operating results are influenced by trends such as information technology spending levels, the growth rate of the electronic payments industry, mandated regulatory changes, and changes in the number and type of customers in the financial services industry. Our products are marketed under the ACI Worldwide and ACI Universal Payment Systems brands.

We derive a majority of our revenues from domestic operations and believe we have large opportunities for growth in international markets as well as continued expansion domestically in the United States. Refining our global infrastructure is a critical component of driving our growth. We have launched a globalization strategy, which includes elements intended to streamline our supply chain and maximize expertise in several geographic locations to support a growing international customer base and competitive needs. We utilize our Irish subsidiaries to manage certain of our intellectual property rights and to oversee and manage certain international product development and commercialization efforts. We also continue to grow centers of expertise in Timisoara, Romania and Pune and Bangalore in India as well as key operational centers such as Cape Town, South Africa and in multiple locations in the United States.

Key trends that currently impact our strategies and operations include:

Increasing electronic payment transaction volumes. Electronic payment volumes continue to increase around the world, taking market share from traditional cash and check transactions. In September 2014, McKinsey predicted that electronic payment transactions would grow in volume at an annual rate of 8%, from 370 billion in 2013 to 550 billion in 2018, with varying growth rates based on the type of payment and part of the world. We leverage the growth in transaction volumes through the licensing of new systems to customers whose older systems cannot handle increased volume and through the licensing of capacity upgrades to existing customers.

Adoption of real-time payments. Customer expectations, from both consumers and corporate, are driving the payments world to more real-time delivery. In the UK, payments sent through the traditional ACH multi-day batch service can now be sent through the Faster Payments service giving almost immediate access to the funds, and this is being considered in several countries including Australia and the US. Corporate customers expect real-time information on the status of their payments instead of waiting for an end of day report. And regulators expect banks to be monitoring key measures like liquidity in real time. ACI’s focus has always been on the real-time execution of transactions and delivery of information through real-time tools such as dashboards so our experience will be valuable in addressing this trend.

Increasing competition. The electronic payments market is highly competitive and subject to rapid change. Our competition comes from in-house information technology departments, third-party electronic payment processors and third-party software companies located both within and outside of the United States. Many of these companies are significantly larger than we are and have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources. As electronic payment transaction volumes increase, third-party processors tend to provide competition to our solutions, particularly among customers that do not seek to differentiate their electronic payment offerings or are eliminating banks from the payments service reducing the need for our solutions. As consolidation in the financial services industry continues, we anticipate that competition for those customers will intensify.

Adoption of cloud technology. In an effort to leverage lower-cost computing technologies, some financial institutions, retailers and electronic payment processors are seeking to transition their systems to make use of cloud technology. Our market sizing exercises have indicated that cloud based payment services will grow at a faster rate than on-premise payment software. Our investment in ACI On Demand provides us the grounding to deliver cloud capabilities in the future.

Electronic payments fraud and compliance. As electronic payment transaction volumes increase, criminal elements continue to find ways to commit a growing volume of fraudulent transactions using a wide range of techniques. Financial institutions, retailers and electronic payment processors continue to seek ways to leverage new technologies to identify and prevent fraudulent transactions and other attacks such as denial of service attacks. Due to concerns with international terrorism and money laundering, financial institutions in particular are being faced with increasing scrutiny and regulatory pressures. We continue to see opportunity to offer our fraud detection solutions to help customers manage the growing levels of electronic payment fraud and compliance activity.

Adoption of smartcard technology. In many markets, card issuers are being required to issue new cards with embedded chip technology, with the liability shift going into effect in 2015 in the United States. Chip-based cards are more secure, harder to copy and offer the opportunity for multiple functions on one card (e.g. debit, credit, electronic purse, identification, health records, etc.). The EMV standard for issuing and processing debit and credit card transactions has emerged as the global standard, with many regions throughout the world already having rolled out EMV. The primary benefit of EMV deployment is a reduction in card present payment fraud, with the additional benefit that the core infrastructure necessary for multi-function chip cards is being put in place (e.g., chip card readers in ATMs and POS devices) allowing the deployment of other technologies like contactless. EMV would not prevent the data breaches that have occurred at major retailers in the past 36 months, however EMV makes the cards more difficult to use at the physical point of sale.

Single Euro Payments Area (“SEPA”). SEPA, primarily focused on the European Economic Community and the United Kingdom, is designed to facilitate lower costs for cross-border payments and reduce timeframes for settling electronic payment transactions. Recent moves to set an end date for the transition to SEPA payment mechanisms will drive more volume to these systems with the potential to cause banks to review the capabilities of the systems supporting these payments. Our retail and wholesale banking solutions facilitate key functions that help financial institutions address these mandated regulations.

Financial institution consolidation. Consolidation continues on a national and international basis, as financial institutions seek to add market share and increase overall efficiency. Such consolidations have increased, and may continue to increase, in their number, size and market impact as a result of recent economic conditions affecting the banking and financial industries. There are several potential negative effects of increased consolidation activity. Continuing consolidation of financial institutions may result in a smaller number of existing and potential customers for our products and services. Consolidation of two of our customers could result in reduced revenues if the combined entity were to negotiate greater volume discounts or discontinue use of certain of our products. Additionally, if a non-customer and a customer combine and the combined entity decides to forego future use of our products, our revenue would decline. Conversely, we could benefit from the combination of a non-customer and a customer when the combined entity continues use of our products and, as a larger combined entity, increases its demand for our products and services. We tend to focus on larger financial institutions as customers, often resulting in our solutions being the solutions that survive in the consolidated entity.

Global vendor sourcing. Global and regional financial institutions, processors and retailers are aiming to reduce the costs in supplier management by picking suppliers that can service them across all their geographies instead of allowing each country operation to choose suppliers independently. Our global footprint from both a customer and a delivery perspective enables us to be successful in this global sourced market. However, projects in these environments tend to be more complex and therefore of higher risk.

Electronic payments convergence. As electronic payment volumes grow and pressures to lower overall cost per transaction increase, financial institutions are seeking methods to consolidate their payment processing across the enterprise. We believe that the strategy of using service-oriented-architectures to allow for re-use of common electronic payment functions such as authentication, authorization, routing and settlement will become more common. Using these techniques, financial institutions will be able to reduce costs, increase overall service levels, enable one-to-one marketing in multiple bank channels, leverage volumes for improved pricing and liquidity, and manage enterprise risk. Our product strategy is, in part, focused on this trend, by creating integrated payment functions that can be re-used by multiple bank channels, across both the consumer and wholesale bank. While this trend presents an opportunity for us, it may also expand the competition from third-party electronic payment technology and service providers specializing in other forms of electronic payments. Many of these providers are larger than we are and have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources.

Mobile banking and payments. There is a growing demand for the ability to carry out banking services or make payments using a mobile phone. Recent Accenture statistics show that 40% of people in the United States have used their phone to make a payment. Our customers have been making use of existing products to deploy mobile banking, mobile payment and mobile commerce and mobile payment solutions for their customers in many countries. In addition, ACI has invested in mobile products of our own and via partnerships to support mobile functionality in the marketplace.

The banking, financial services and payments industries have come under increased scrutiny from federal, state and foreign lawmakers and regulators in response to the crises in the financial markets and the global recession. In particular, the

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), which was signed into law July 21, 2010, represents a comprehensive overhaul of the U.S. financial services industry and requires the implementation of many new regulations that will have a direct impact on our customers and potential customers. This is not limited to the United States; in April 2014, the European Commission voted to adopt a number of amendments with regards to the Payment Services Directive, placing further pressure on industry incumbents.

These regulatory changes may create both opportunities and challenges for us. The application of the new regulations on our customers could create an opportunity for us to market our product capabilities and the flexibility of our solutions to assist our customers in addressing these regulations. At the same time, these regulatory changes may have an adverse impact on our operations and our financial results as we adjust our activities in light of increased compliance costs and customer requirements. It is currently too difficult to predict the long term extent to which the Dodd-Frank Act, Payment Services Directive or the resulting regulations will impact our business and the businesses of our current and potential customers.

Several other factors related to our business may have a significant impact on our operating results from year to year. For example, the accounting rules governing the timing of revenue recognition in the software industry are complex and it can be difficult to estimate when we will recognize revenue generated by a given transaction. Factors such as maturity of the software product licensed, payment terms, creditworthiness of the customer, and timing of delivery or acceptance of our products often cause revenues related to sales generated in one period to be deferred and recognized in later periods. For arrangements in which services revenue is deferred, related direct and incremental costs may also be deferred. Additionally, while the majority of our contracts are denominated in the United States dollar, a substantial portion of our sales are made, and some of our expenses are incurred, in the local currency of countries other than the United States. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates in a given period may result in the recognition of gains or losses for that period.

We continue to seek ways to grow through organic sources, partnerships, alliances, and acquisitions. We continually look for potential acquisitions designed to improve our solutions’ breadth or provide access to new markets. As part of our acquisition strategy, we seek acquisition candidates that are strategic, capable of being integrated into our operating environment, and financially accretive to our financial performance.

Restructuring

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we reduced our headcount as a part of our integration of our recent acquisitions. In connection with these actions, approximately $1.3 million of termination costs were recognized in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The charges by segment were as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2015: $0.7 million in the Americas segment and $0.6 million in the EMEA segment.

Backlog

Included in backlog estimates are all software license fees, maintenance fees and services fees 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.

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, facilities management, and software hosting 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.

In computing our 60-month backlog estimate, the following items are specifically not taken into account:

| • |  | Anticipated increases in transaction, account, or processing volumes in customer systems.

| • |  | Optional annual uplifts or inflationary increases in recurring fees.

| • |  | Services engagements, other than facilities management and software hosting engagements, are not assumed to renew over the 60-month backlog period.

| • |  | The potential impact of merger activity within our markets and/or customers.

We review our customer renewal experience on an annual basis. The impact of this review and subsequent update may result in a revision to the renewal assumptions used in computing the 60-month and 12-month backlog estimates. In the event a revision to renewal assumptions is determined to be necessary, prior periods will be adjusted for comparability purposes.

The following table sets forth our 60-month backlog estimate, by geographic region, as of June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in millions). Dollar amounts reflect foreign currency exchange rates as of each period end.

Total |  | $ | 4,148 |  |  | $ | 4,137 |  |  | $ | 4,160 |

Included in our 60-month backlog estimates are amounts expected to be recognized during the initial license term of customer contracts (“Committed Backlog”) and amounts expected to be recognized from assumed renewals of existing customer contracts (“Renewal Backlog”). Amounts expected to be recognized from assumed contract renewals are based on our historical renewal experience.

We also estimate 12-month backlog, segregated between monthly recurring and non-recurring revenues, using a methodology consistent with the 60-month backlog estimate. Monthly recurring revenues include all monthly license fees, maintenance fees and processing services fees. Non-recurring revenues include other software license fees and services fees. Amounts included in our 12-month backlog estimate assume renewal of one-time license fees on a monthly fee basis if such renewal is expected to occur in the next 12 months. The following table sets forth our 12-month backlog estimate, by geographic region, as of June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in millions). For all periods reported, approximately 80% of our 12-month backlog estimate is committed backlog and approximately 20% of our 12-month backlog estimate is renewal backlog. Dollar amounts reflect currency exchange rates as of each period end.

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 amounts included in backlog estimates will actually generate the specified revenues or that the actual revenues will be generated within the corresponding 12-month or 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.

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased $11.0 million, or 4%, as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase is the result of a $9.3 million, or 9%, increase in hosting revenue and a $5.8 million, or 9%, increase in license revenue partially offset by a $2.2 million, or 3%, decrease in maintenance revenue, and a $1.9 million, or 8%, decrease in services revenue.

The increase in total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was due to an $11.2 million, or 19%, increase in the EMEA reportable segment partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in the Asia/Pacific reportable segment, and a minimal decrease in the Americas reportable segment.

The addition of ReD contributed $9.8 million of the increase in total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014. Total revenue was $8.3 million lower in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to the impact of foreign currencies weakening against the U.S. dollar. Excluding the impact of the addition of ReD and foreign currency, total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015, increased $9.5 million, or 4%, compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to increased initial license fees.

License Revenue

Customers purchase the right to license ACI software for the term of their agreement which term is generally 60 months. Within these agreements are specified capacity limits typically based on customer transaction volumes. ACI employs measurement tools that monitor the number of transactions processed by customers and if contractually specified limits are exceeded, additional fees are negotiated and/or charged for the overage. Capacity overages may occur at varying times throughout the term of the agreement depending on the product, the size of the customer, and the significance of customer transaction volume growth. Depending on specific circumstances, multiple overages or no overages may occur during the term of the agreement.

Initial License Revenue

Initial license revenue includes license and capacity revenues that do not recur on a monthly or quarterly basis. Included in initial license revenue are license and capacity fees that are recognizable at the inception of the agreement and license and capacity fees that are recognizable at interim points during the term of the agreement, including those that are recognizable annually due to negotiated customer payment terms. Initial license revenue increased by $10.2 million, or 26%, during the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014.

##### Table of Contents

Initial license revenue increased in the EMEA and Asia/Pacific reportable segments by $13.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in the Americas reportable segment of $3.9 million. The increase in initial license revenue was primarily driven by an increase in capacity related license revenue of $22.7 million partially offset by a decrease in non-capacity related license revenue of $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in capacity related license revenue was attributable to the timing and relative size of capacity events as compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease in non-capacity related license revenue was largely attributable to the execution of several license renewal arrangements and the release of deferred revenue for several large complex projects during the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2015.

The addition of ReD contributed $0.1 million of the increase in initial license revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014. Total initial license revenue was $1.9 million lower in the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014 due to the impact of foreign currencies weakening against the U.S, dollar. Excluding the impact of ReD and foreign currency, total initial license revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased $12.0 million, or 31%, compared to the same period in 2014.

Monthly License Revenue

Monthly license revenue is license and capacity revenue that is paid monthly or quarterly due to negotiated customer payment terms as well as initial license and capacity fees that are recognized as revenue ratably over an extended period as monthly license revenue. Monthly license revenue decreased $4.4 million, or 19%, during the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014 with the Americas, EMEA and Asia/Pacific reportable segments decreasing by $2.7 million, $1.3, million and $0.4 million, respectively. The decrease in monthly license revenue is primarily due to a decrease in the amount of initial license revenue that was being recognized ratably over an extended period during the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. Monthly license revenue was also impacted by the recognition of cumulative monthly license fee revenue related to large, complex projects that were completed and recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2014, that did not reoccur in the same period in 2015.

Total monthly license revenue was $0.9 million lower in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to the impact of foreign currencies weakening against the U.S. dollar. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, total monthly license revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased $3.5 million, or 15%, compared to the same period in 2014.

Maintenance Revenue

Maintenance revenue includes standard and enhanced maintenance or any post contract support fees received from customers for the provision of product support services. Maintenance revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014 decreased $2.2 million, or 3%. Maintenance revenue decreased in the EMEA reportable segment by $4.2 million partially offset by the increase in the Americas and Asia/Pacific reportable segments of $1.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

The addition of ReD contributed $0.8 million of maintenance revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014. Total maintenance revenue was $3.5 million lower in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to the impact of foreign currencies weakening against the U.S. dollar. Excluding the impact of ReD and foreign currency, total maintenance revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased $0.5 million, or 1%, compared to the same period in 2014.

Services Revenue

Services revenue includes fees earned through implementation services, professional services and facilities management services. Implementation services include product installations, product configurations, and retrofit CSMs. Professional services include business consultancy, technical consultancy, on-site support services, CSMs, product education, and testing services. These services include new customer implementations as well as existing customer migrations to new products or new releases of existing products. During the period in which non-essential services revenue is being deferred, direct and incremental costs related to the performance of these services are also being deferred.

Cost of License

The cost of license for our products sold includes third-party software royalties as well as the amortization of purchased and developed software for resale. In general, the cost of license for our products is minimal because we internally develop most of the software components, the cost of which is reflected in research and development expense as it is incurred as technological feasibility coincides with general availability of the software components.

Cost of license decreased $1.0 million, or 14%, in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to a decrease in third party product royalty expenses.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was 18%. The earnings of our foreign entities for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $12.3 million. The tax rates in the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate are less than the domestic tax rate.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was 18%. The earnings of our foreign entities for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were $18.6 million. The tax rates in the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate are less than the domestic tax rate. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was positively impacted by profits in certain foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates and domestic losses taxed at a higher rate, partially offset by losses in other foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates.

Our effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis and could be negatively affected to the extent earnings are lower in the countries in which we operate that have a lower statutory rate or higher in the countries in which we operate that have a higher statutory rate or the extent we have losses sustained in countries where the future utilization of losses are uncertain. Our effective tax rate could also fluctuate due to changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities, or by changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles, or interpretations thereof. In addition, we are occasionally subject to examination of our income tax returns by tax authorities in the jurisdictions we operate. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes.

##### Table of Contents

The increase in total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was due to a $9.0 million, or 3%, increase in the Americas reportable segment, a $13.1 million, or 12%, increase in the EMEA reportable segment and a $0.3 million, or 1%, increase in the Asia/Pacific reportable segment.

The addition of ReD contributed $20.1 million of the increase in total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014. Total revenue was $14.2 million lower in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to the impact of foreign currencies weakening against the U.S. dollar.

The increase in initial license revenue was primarily driven by an increase in capacity related license revenue of $25.7 million partially offset by a decrease in non-capacity related license revenue of $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in capacity related license revenue was attributable to the timing and relative size of capacity events as compared to the same period in 2014.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased $2.9 million, or 16%, as compared to the same period in 2014 due to the additional Term Credit Facility obtained in the third quarter of 2014 used to fund the acquisition of ReD. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased $0.2 million as compared to the same period in 2014.

We realized a $24.5 million gain from the sale of our holdings in Yodlee common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Foreign currency losses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $1.1 million and $4.8 million, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 16%. The earnings of our foreign entities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $20.0 million. The tax rates in the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate are less than the domestic tax rate. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was positively impacted by the gain on the sale of our investment in Yodlee and profits in certain foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates and domestic losses taxed at a higher rate, partially offset by losses in other foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates.

The Company reported a tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2014 while reporting a pretax profit for the same period. The resulting effective tax rate is negative. The earnings of our foreign entities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $24.2 million. The tax rates in the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate are less than the domestic tax rate. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was positively impacted by profits in certain foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates and domestic losses taxed at a higher rate, partially offset by losses in other foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates.

Our effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis and could be negatively affected to the extent earnings are lower in the countries in which we operate that

have a lower statutory rate or higher in the countries in which we operate that have a higher statutory rate or the extent we have losses sustained in countries where the future utilization of losses are uncertain. Our effective tax rate could also fluctuate due to changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities, or by changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles, or interpretations thereof. In addition, we are occasionally subject to examination of our income tax returns by tax authorities in the jurisdictions we operate. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes.

Reportable segment results are impacted by both direct expenses and allocated shared function costs such as global product development, global customer operations and global product management. Shared function costs are allocated to the geographic reportable segments as a percentage of revenue or as a percentage of headcount. All administrative costs that are not directly attributable or able to be allocated to a geographic segment are included in the corporate line item.

The Americas segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 3015 was flat compared to the same period in 2014 with a decrease in income before income taxes due primarily due to a $4.3 million increase in interchange fees. The EMEA segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased as a result of an increase in initial license, which drove the increase in income before income taxes. The Asia/Pacific segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was flat compared to the same period in 2014 with a decrease in income before income taxes due primarily to a $1.6 million increase in personnel related expenses. Corporate’s decrease in loss before income taxes is due to the gain on sale of Yodlee common stock of $24.5 million, which is partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in significant transaction related expenses, a $1.1 million in interest expense, and a $0.9 million increase in amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.

The Americas segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 3015 increased $9.0 million compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to hosting with a decrease in income before income taxes due primarily due to a $7.3 million increase in interchange fees. The EMEA segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased as a result of an increase in initial license, which drove the increase in income before income taxes. The Asia/Pacific segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was flat compared to the same period in 2014 with an increase in income before income taxes due primarily due to a $1.9 million decrease in allocated expenses. Corporate’s decrease in loss before income taxes is due to the gain on sale of Yodlee common stock of $24.5 million, which is partially offset by a $3.0 million in interest expense and a $1.4 million increase in amortization of intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our primary liquidity needs are: (i) to fund normal operating expenses; (ii) to meet the interest and principal requirements of our outstanding indebtedness; and (iii) to fund acquisitions, capital expenditures and lease payments. We believe these needs will be satisfied using cash flow generated by our operations, our cash and cash equivalents and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

36

##### Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2015, we had $50.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

As of June 30, 2015, $41.2 million of the $50.4 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries. If these funds were needed for our operations in the U.S., we would be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds. However, our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside the U.S. and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our U.S. operations.

The following table sets forth summary cash flow data for the periods indicated.

|  | Six Months Ended June 30, |
|  | 2015 |  |  | 2014 |
|  | (amounts in thousands) |
Net cash provided by (used by): |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Operating activities |  | $ | 49,933 |  |  | $ | 48,323 |
Investing activities |  |  | 6,407 |  |  |  | (16,810 | )
Financing activities |  |  | (81,308 | ) |  |  | (75,679 | )

Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 amounted to $49.9 million as compared to $48.3 million during the same period in 2014.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company received proceeds of $35.3 million on the sale of its holdings in Yodlee common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we used cash of $21.9 million to purchase software, property and equipment as compared to $15.3 million during the same period in 2014.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we repaid a net $44.0 million on the revolver portion of the Credit Facility and we repaid $39.7 million of the term Credit Facility. In addition, during the first six months of 2015, we received proceeds of $16.6 million, including corresponding excess tax benefits, from the exercises of stock options and the issuance of common stock under our 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended, and used $4.0 million for the repurchase of restricted stock and performance shares for tax withholdings.

We may decide to use cash to acquire new products and services or enhance existing products and services through acquisitions of other companies, product lines, technologies and personnel, or through investments in other companies.

We believe that our existing sources of liquidity, including cash on hand and cash provided by operating activities, will satisfy our projected liquidity requirements, which primarily consists of working capital requirements, for the next twelve months and foreseeable future.

Debt

As of June 30, 2015, we had $508.2 million outstanding under our Term Credit Facility, with up to $250.0 million of unused borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility portion of the Credit Agreement, as amended. The amount of unused borrowings actually available varies in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, asset dispositions, acquisitions, investments, dividends and other restricted payments, liens and transactions with affiliates. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants relating to maximum permitted leverage ratio and the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The facility does not contain any subjective acceleration features and does not have any required payment or principal reduction schedule and is included as a long-term liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2015 (and at all times during this period) we were in compliance with our debt covenants. The interest rate in effect at June 30, 2015 was 2.44%.

On August 20, 2013, we completed a $300.0 million offering of 6.375% Senior Notes due in 2020 (the “Notes”) at an issue price of 100% of the principal amount in a private placement for resale to qualified institutional buyers. The Notes bear an interest rate of 6.375% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on August 15 and February 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2014. Interest will accrue from August 20, 2013. The Notes will mature on August 15, 2020.

Stock Repurchase Program

As of December 31, 2011, our Board of Directors had approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us, from time to time as market and business conditions warrant, to acquire up to $210 million of its common stock. In February 2012, our Board of Directors approved an increase of $52.1 million to their current stock repurchase authorization, bringing the total authorization to $262.1 million.

On September 13, 2012, our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 7,500,000 shares of our common stock, or up to $113.0 million in place of the remaining repurchase amounts previously authorized. In July 2013, the Board of Directors approved an additional $100 million for the stock repurchase program. In February 2014, they again approved an additional $100 million for the stock repurchase program.

We did not repurchase any shares under the program during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Under the program to date, we have purchased 37,108,467 shares for approximately $395.8 million. The maximum remaining authorized for purchase under the stock repurchase program was approximately $138.3 million as of June 30, 2015.

There is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased by us. Repurchased shares are returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. In March 2005, our Board of Directors approved a plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to facilitate the repurchase of shares of common stock under the existing stock repurchase program. Under our Rule 10b5-1 plan, we have delegated authority over the timing and amount of repurchases to an independent broker who does not have access to inside information about the Company. Rule 10b5-1 allows us, through the independent broker, to purchase shares at times when we ordinarily would not be in the market because of self-imposed trading blackout periods, such as the time immediately preceding the end of the fiscal quarter through a period three business days following our quarterly earnings release.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, other than as discussed below, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations and commercial commitments disclosed in Item 7 of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

We are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate amount or timing of settlement of our reserves for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Tax. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2015 is $24.3 million.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be proper and reasonable under the circumstances. We continually evaluate the appropriateness of estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates, judgments and assumptions and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

| • |  | Revenue Recognition

| • |  | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

| • |  | Business Combinations

| • |  | Intangible Assets and Goodwill

| • |  | Stock-Based Compensation

| • |  | Accounting for Income Taxes

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates. Please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed on February 26, 2015, for a more complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Item 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Excluding the impact of changes in interest rates and the uncertainty in the global financial markets, there have been no material changes to our market risk for the six months ended June 30, 2015. We conduct business in all parts of the world and are thereby exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The U.S. dollar is the single largest currency in which our revenue contracts are denominated. Thus, any decline in the value of local foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar

38

##### Table of Contents

results in our products and services being more expensive to a potential foreign customer, and in those instances where our goods and services have already been sold, may result in the receivables being more difficult to collect. Additionally, any decline in the value of the U.S. dollar in jurisdictions where the revenue contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars and operating expenses are incurred in local currency will have an unfavorable impact to operating margins. We at times enter into revenue contracts that are denominated in the country’s local currency, principally in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and other European countries. This practice serves as a natural hedge to finance the local currency expenses incurred in those locations. We have not entered into any foreign currency hedging transactions. We do not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments for the purpose of speculation or arbitrage.

The primary objective of our cash investment policy is to preserve principal without significantly increasing risk. Based on our cash investments and interest rates on these investments at June 30, 2015, and if we maintained this level of similar cash investments for a period of one year, a hypothetical 10 percent increase or decrease in effective interest rates would increase or decrease interest income by less than $0.1 million annually.

We had approximately $808.2 million of debt outstanding at June 30, 2015 with $300.0 million in Senior Notes and $508.2 million outstanding under our Credit Facility. Our Senior Notes are fixed-rate long-term debt obligations with a 6.375% interest rate. Our Credit Facility has a floating rate which was 2.44% at June 30, 2015. The potential increase (decrease) in interest expense for the Credit Facility from a hypothetical ten percent increase (decrease) in effective interest rates would be approximately $1.2 million.

Item 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report, June 30, 2015. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2015.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Company’s quarter ended June 30, 2015, and determined that there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, we believe would be likely to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. | RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Additional risks and uncertainties, including risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, could also have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.

Total |  |  | 1,113 |  |  | $ | 25.35 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  |  |

(1) | Pursuant to our 2005 Incentive Plan, we granted restricted share awards (“RSAs”). These awards have requisite service periods of either three or four years and vest in increments of either 33% or 25% on the anniversary dates of the grants. Under each arrangement, stock is issued without direct cost to the employee. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, 98,271 RSAs vested. We withheld 1,113 of those shares to pay the employees’ portion of applicable payroll taxes.

As of December 31, 2011, our Board of Directors had approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us, from time to time as market and business conditions warrant, to acquire up to $210 million of its common stock. In February 2012, our Board of Directors approved an increase of $52.1 million to their current stock repurchase authorization, bringing the total authorization to $262.1 million. On September 13, 2012, our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 7,500,000 shares of our common stock, or up to $113.0 million in place of the remaining repurchase amounts previously authorized. In July 2013, the Board of Directors approved an additional $100 million for the stock repurchase program. In February 2014, they again approved an additional $100 million for the stock repurchase program. The maximum remaining authorized for purchase under the stock repurchase program was approximately $138.3 million as of June 30, 2015. There is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased by us. Repurchased shares are returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. In March 2005, our Board of Directors approved a plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to facilitate the repurchase of shares of common stock under the existing stock repurchase program. Under our Rule 10b5-1 plan, we have delegated authority over the timing and amount of repurchases to an independent broker who does not have access to inside information about the Company. Rule 10b5-1 allows us, through the independent broker, to purchase shares at times when we ordinarily would not be in the market because of self-imposed trading blackout periods, such as the time immediately preceding the end of the fiscal quarter through a period three business days following our quarterly earnings release.
