Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Fiserv, Inc. (the “Company”). These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fiserv, Inc. and all 100% owned subsidiaries. Investments in less than 50% owned affiliates in which the Company has significant influence but not control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test that had required a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Rather, entities should apply the same impairment assessment to all reporting units and recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, without exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 will be effective prospectively for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, or those beginning after January 1, 2017 if early adopted. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-04 in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on t he Company’s consolidated financial statements and is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements going forward.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”), which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance and providing a more robust framework to assist reporting organizations with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. For public entities, ASU 2017-01 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for transactions occurring before the issuance or effective date of the standard for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-01 in the first quarter of 2017, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which adds or clarifies guidance on the presentation and classification of eight specific types of cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows, with the intent of reducing diversity in practice. For public entities, ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Entities must apply the guidance retrospectively to all periods presented unless retrospective application is impracticable. The Company early adopted ASU 2016-15 in the first quarter of 2017, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment awards, including the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The standard requires that all tax effects related to share-based payments be recorded as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement at settlement or expiration and, accordingly, excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies be presented as operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For public entities, ASU 2016-09 was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. The recognition of all

Table of Contents

excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement, as well as related changes to the computation of diluted earnings per share, is to be applied prospectively. The impact of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements depends on the intrinsic value of share-based compensation awards at the time of exercise or vesting, may result in more variability in effective tax rates and net earnings, and may impact the dilution of common stock equivalents. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017. As a result of this adoption, the Company recorded excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation awards of $6 million and $31 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, in the income tax provision, whereas such benefits were previously recognized in equity. The Company elected to apply the change in presentation in the statement of cash flows prospectively, and as a result, excess tax benefits are classified as operating activities when realized through reductions to subsequent tax payments. The treatment of forfeitures did not change as the Company elected to continue its current practice of estimating expected forfeitures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”), which provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting. Under ASU 2017-09, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the award are the same immediately before and after the award is modified. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted in any interim period. Entities must apply the standard prospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2017-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (“ASU 2016-16”), which eliminates the current prohibition on immediate recognition of the current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory, with the intent of reducing complexity and diversity in practice. Under ASU 2016-16, entities must recognize the income tax consequences when the transfer occurs rather than deferring recognition. For public entities, ASU 2016-16 is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. Entities must apply the guidance on a modified retrospective basis though a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-16 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which prescribes an impairment model for most financial assets based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under this model, an estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual life of the instrument is to be recorded as of the end of a reporting period as an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. For public entities, ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For most instruments, entities must apply the standard using a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for each lease with a term longer than twelve months. The recognized liability is measured at the present value of lease payments not yet paid, and the corresponding asset represents the lessee’s right to use the underlying asset over the lease term and is based on the liability, subject to certain adjustments. For income statement purposes, the standard retains the dual model with leases classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern. For public entities, ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”), which primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements of financial instruments. For public entities, ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for certain provisions of the standard. Entities must apply the standard, with certain exceptions, using a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and to create common revenue recognition guidance between U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This model involves a five-step process for achieving that core principle, along with comprehensive disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date , to defer the effective date of the new revenue standard for one year and permit early adoption as of the original effective date in ASU 2014-09. For public entities, the new revenue standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018.

The Company has reviewed the requirements of the new revenue standard and related ASUs and is monitoring the activity of the FASB and the transition resource group as it relates to specific interpretive guidance. The Company is reviewing customer contracts and is in the process of applying the five-step model of the new revenue standard to each of its key identified revenue streams included within either processing and services revenue or product revenue and is comparing the results to its current accounting practices. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of adopting this new revenue standard on its consolidated financial statements, related disclosures, and necessary control and process changes, it currently believes the new revenue standard will not have a significant impact on the accounting for stand-ready account- and transaction-based processing fees, the Company’s most significant revenue stream. Areas that the Company currently expects will be impacted by the new revenue standard include the accounting for costs to obtain a contract, such as the capitalization of commissions for sales personnel, which are currently expensed as incurred; the timing of revenue recognition of certain termination fees over the modified contract term, which will generally result in an acceleration of revenue as compared to the Company’s current accounting practice of recognition upon client deconversion; the deferral of professional services revenue from certain transaction processing platform enhancements that are currently recognized as performed; and the expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures required under the new standard.

Entities have the option of adopting this new guidance using either a full retrospective or a modified approach with the cumulative effect of applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. The Company currently anticipates adopting the new standard using the modified retrospective transition approach, which will result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. However, a final decision regarding the adoption method is dependent on several factors, including the completion of the Company’s analysis of the effect the adoption of the new standard will have on its results of operations, financial position and related disclosures.

3. Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies fair value accounting for all assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in its consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value represents the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The fair values of cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, settlement assets and obligations, accounts payable, and client deposits approximate their respective carrying values due to the short period of time to maturity. The estimated fair value of total debt was $4.9 billion at June 30, 2017 and $4.7 billion at December 31, 2016 , and was based on quoted prices in active markets for the Company’s senior notes (level 1 of the fair value hierarchy) and discounted cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for its term loan (level 3 of the fair value hierarchy). The fair value of the Company’s revolving credit facility borrowings approximates carrying value as the underlying interest rate is variable based on LIBOR. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability of $15 million at June 30, 2017 (see Note 4) was based on the present value of a probability-weighted assessment approach derived from the likelihood of achieving the various earn-out criteria (level 3 of the fair value hierarchy). This estimated fair value has not changed since the acquisition date.

4. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisitions

On January 17, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of Online Banking Solutions, Inc. (“OBS”), gaining additional cash management and digital business banking capabilities that complement and enrich the Company’s existing solutions, for a purchase price of $78 million , net of cash acquired, along with earn-out provisions estimated at a fair value of $15 million . OBS products are integrated across a number of the Company’s account processing solutions and with other core processing platforms, and should enable its bank and credit union clients to better serve their commercial customers.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation for this acquisition based upon a final valuation of intangible assets. The final purchase price allocation did not materially change from the preliminary allocation and resulted in technology and customer intangible assets totaling $30 million , goodwill of $62 million and other identifiable net assets of $1 million consisting primarily of accounts receivable. The goodwill, recognized within the Financial Institution Services (“Financial”) segment, from this transaction is deductible for tax purposes and is primarily attributed to synergies and anticipated revenue and earnings growth associated with the products and services that this business provides. The results of operations for OBS have been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income from the acquisition date. Pro forma information is not provided because the acquisition did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

In June 2017, the Company made a recommended cash offer to acquire Monitise plc (“Monitise”) for approximately £70 million ( $89 million ). The transaction is subject to certain conditions including Monitise shareholder approval. In connection with this pending acquisition, the Company entered into a forward currency contract to hedge its net exposure to the British pound. As of June 30, 2017, the notional amount of this forward currency contract approximated $69 million , with a fair value of approximately $1 million recorded to earnings in the consolidated statements of income and prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

Disposition

On May 11, 2017, the Company sold its Australian item processing business, which was reported within the Financial segment, for approximately $17 million , consisting of $19 million in cash received at closing less an estimated closing adjustment of $2 million anticipated to be finalized in the third quarter of 2017. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of $10 million , with the related tax expense of $5 million recorded through the income tax provision, in the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

5. Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate

The Company owns a 49% interest in StoneRiver Group, L.P. (“StoneRiver”), which is accounted for as an equity method investment, and reports its share of StoneRiver’s net income as income from investment in unconsolidated affiliate. During the first quarter of 2017, StoneRiver recognized a gain on the sale of a business. The Company’s $26 million pre-tax share of the gain was recorded within income from investment in unconsolidated affiliate, with the related tax expense of $9 million recorded through the income tax provision, in the consolidated statements of income. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company received cash dividends of $31 million from StoneRiver, which were funded from the sale transaction and recorded as reductions in the Company’s investment in StoneRiver.

During the first quarter of 2016, StoneRiver recognized a gain on the sale of a business interest in which the Company’s pre-tax share of this gain was $190 million . During the first quarter of 2016, the Company also received cash dividends of $140 million from StoneRiver, which were funded from the sale transaction and recorded as reductions in the Company’s investment in StoneRiver. In conjunction with this activity, the Company evaluated its equity method investment in StoneRiver for its ability to recover the remaining carrying amount of such investment. Utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis (level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) to arrive at a measure of the investment’s fair value, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $44 million . The Company’s $146 million pre-tax share of the gain, net of the impairment loss, was recorded within income from investment in unconsolidated affiliate, with the related tax expense of $54 million recorded through the income tax provision, in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company’s investment in StoneRiver was $9 million and $14 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively, and is reported within other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The dividends, in their entirety, represented returns on the Company’s investment and are reported in cash flows from operating activities.

6. Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognized $17 million and $33 million of share-based compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and $17 million and $39 million of share-based compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. The Company’s annual grant of share-based awards generally occurs in the first quarter. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , stock options to purchase 0.9 million and 1.3 million shares, respectively, were exercised.

A summary of stock option, restricted stock unit and performance share unit grant activity is as follows:

Overview

Company Background

We are a leading global provider of financial services technology. We provide account processing systems, electronic payments processing products and services, internet and mobile banking systems, and related services. We serve over 12,000 clients worldwide, including banks, thrifts, credit unions, investment management firms, leasing and finance companies, retailers, merchants, mutual savings banks, and building societies. The majority of our revenue is generated from recurring account- and transaction-based fees under contracts that generally have terms of three to five years and high renewal rates. Most of the services we provide are necessary for our clients to operate their businesses and are, therefore, non-discretionary in nature.

Our operations are principally located in the United States and are comprised of the Payments and Industry Products (“Payments”) segment and the Financial Institution Services (“Financial”) segment. The Payments segment primarily provides electronic bill payment and presentment services, internet and mobile banking software and services, person-to-person payment services, debit and credit card processing and services, and other electronic payments software and services. Our businesses in this segment also provide card and print personalization services, investment account processing services for separately managed accounts, and fraud and risk management products and services. The Financial segment provides banks, thrifts, credit unions, and leasing and finance companies with account processing services, item processing and source capture services, loan origination and servicing products, cash management and consulting services, and other products and services that support numerous types of financial transactions. Corporate and Other primarily consists of unallocated corporate expenses including compensation costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, intercompany eliminations and other costs that are not considered when management evaluates segment performance.

During the first quarter of 2017, StoneRiver Group, L.P. (“StoneRiver”), a joint venture in which we own a 49% interest and account for under the equity method, recognized a gain on the sale of a business, and in the first quarter of 2016, recognized a net gain on the sale of a business interest. Our pre-tax share of the net gains on these transactions was $26 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $146 million in the first quarter of 2016, with related tax expense of $9 million and $54 million , respectively. In addition, we received cash dividends from StoneRiver of $31 million and $140 million during the first quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively, which were funded from the sale transactions.

In June 2017, we made a recommended cash offer to acquire Monitise plc (“Monitise”) for approximately £70 million ( $89 million ). The transaction is subject to certain conditions including Monitise shareholder approval.

Enterprise Priorities

We continue to implement a series of strategic initiatives to help accomplish our mission of providing integrated technology and services solutions that enable best-in-class results for our clients. These strategic initiatives include active portfolio management of our businesses, enhancing the overall value of our existing client relationships, improving operational effectiveness, being disciplined in our allocation of capital, and differentiating our products and services through innovation. Our key enterprise priorities for 2017 are: (i) to continue to build high-quality revenue while meeting our earnings goals; (ii) to enhance client relationships with an emphasis on digital and payments solutions; and (iii) to deliver innovation and integration which enables differentiated value for our clients.

Industry Trends

The market for products and services offered by financial institutions continues to evolve rapidly. The financial industry regularly introduces and implements new payment, deposit, lending, investment and risk management products, and the distinctions among the products and services traditionally offered by different types of financial institutions continue to narrow as they seek to serve the same customers. At the same time, regulatory conditions and increased focus on cybersecurity have continued to create a challenging operating environment for financial institutions. For example, legislation such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act has generated, and may continue to generate, new regulations impacting the financial industry. These conditions, along with mild economic improvement, have created heightened interest in solutions that help financial institutions win and retain customers, generate incremental revenue, comply with regulations and enhance operating efficiency. Examples of these solutions include our electronic payments solutions and channels such as internet, mobile and tablet banking, sometimes referred to as “digital channels.”

This increased focus on digital channels by both financial institutions and their customers, as well as the growing volume and types of payment transactions in the marketplace, have increased the data and transaction processing needs of financial institutions. We expect that financial institutions will continue to invest significant capital and human resources to process transactions, manage information, maintain regulatory compliance and offer innovative new services to their customers in this rapidly evolving and competitive environment. We anticipate that we will benefit over the long term from the trend of financial institutions moving from in-house technology to outsourced solutions as they seek to remain current on technology changes amidst an evolving marketplace. We believe that economies of scale in developing and maintaining the infrastructure, technology, products, services and networks necessary to be competitive in such an environment are essential to justify these investments, and we anticipate that demand for products that facilitate customer interaction with financial institutions, including electronic transactions through digital channels, will continue to increase, which we expect to create revenue opportunities for us. Based on these market conditions, we believe that our sizable and diverse client base, combined with our position as a leading provider of non-discretionary, recurring revenue-based products and services, gives us a solid foundation for growth. Furthermore, we believe that the integration of our products and services creates a compelling value proposition for our clients.

In addition to the trends described above, the financial institutions marketplace has experienced change in composition as well. During the past 25 years, the number of financial institutions in the United States has declined at a relatively steady rate of approximately 3% per year, primarily as a result of voluntary mergers and acquisitions. Rather than reducing the overall market, these consolidations have transferred accounts among financial institutions. An acquisition benefits us when a newly combined institution is processed on our system, or elects to move to one of our systems, and negatively impacts us when a competing system is selected. Financial institution acquisitions also impact our financial results due to early contract termination fees in our multi-year client contracts, which are primarily generated when an existing client with a multi-year contract is acquired by another financial institution. These fees can vary from period to period based on the number and size of clients that are acquired and how early in the contract term the contract is terminated. Our revenue is diversified, and our focus on long-term client relationships and recurring, transaction-oriented products and services has reduced the impact that consolidation in the financial services industry has had on us. We have clients that span the entire range of financial institutions in terms of asset size and business model, and our 50 largest financial institution clients represent less than 25% of our annual

revenue. In addition, we believe that our products and services can assist financial institutions with the regulatory and market challenges that they currently face by providing, among other things, new sources of revenue and opportunities to reduce their costs.

Total Revenue

Total revenue increased $23 million , or 2% , in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 and increased $86 million , or 3% , in the first six months of 2017 compared to the first six months of 2016 .

Revenue in our Payments segment increased $16 million , or 2% , and $61 million , or 4% , during the second quarter and first six months of 2017 , respectively, compared to the prior periods in 2016 . Revenue growth at our card services business contributed approximately 2% to the Payments segment growth in both the second quarter and first six months of 2017 due to increased transaction volumes. In addition, our investment services business contributed approximately 1% to the Payments segment growth in the first six months of 2017 due to increased license revenue. Revenue from acquired businesses of $13 million contributed approximately 1% to the Payments segment growth in the first six months of 2017.

Table of Contents

Revenue in our Financial segment increased $11 million , or 2% , and $32 million , or 3% , during the second quarter and first six months of 2017 , respectively, compared to the prior periods in 2016 , and included revenue from an acquired business of $4 million in the first six months of 2017. Financial segment revenue growth was primarily attributable to contributions of approximately 2% from our lending solutions business in both the second quarter and first six months of 2017 due to increased volumes, and approximately 1% from our account processing businesses in the first six months of 2017.

Total Expenses

Total expenses increased $13 million , or 1% , and $50 million , or 3% , in the second quarter and first six months of 2017 , respectively, compared to the prior periods in 2016 . Total expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased 20 basis points to 73.2% in the second quarter of 2017 and decreased 50 basis points to 73.5% in the first six months of 2017 compared to the prior year periods. Total expenses were favorably impacted by 70 basis points and 40 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, due to the gain on the sale of our Australian item processing business.

Cost of processing and services as a percentage of processing and services revenue increased to 48.3% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 47.2% in the second quarter of 2016 and increased to 48.4% in the first six months of 2017 compared to 48.2% in the first six months of 2016 . The increase in cost of processing and services as a percentage of processing and services revenue in 2017 was due to various expense increases across some of our businesses in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the prior year period, substantially offset by a $10 million non-cash impairment charge in the first six months of 2016 associated with the decision to replace an existing software solution with software purchased in a business acquisition.

Cost of product as a percentage of product revenue decreased to 87.5% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 88.2% in the second quarter of 2016 and decreased to 85.8% in the first six months of 2017 compared to 87.4% in the first six months of 2016 . The decrease in cost of product as a percentage of product revenue in 2017 was primarily due to an increase in higher-margin software license revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue was generally consistent for the second quarter of 2017 at 19.9% compared to 20.1% in the second quarter of 2016 and for the first six months of 2017 at 19.9% compared to 19.7% in the first six months of 2016 .

Operating Income and Operating Margin

Total operating income increased $10 million , or 3% , and $36 million , or 5% , in the second quarter and first six months of 2017 , respectively, compared to the prior periods in 2016 . Total operating margin increased 20 basis points to 26.8% in the second quarter of 2017 and increased 50 basis points to 26.5% in the first six months of 2017 compared to the prior year periods.

Operating income in our Payments segment increased $1 million in the second quarter and $35 million , or 8% , in the first six months of 2017 compared to the prior periods in 2016 . Operating margin decreased 60 basis points to 30.5% in the second quarter of 2017 and increased 110 basis points to 31.6% in the first six months of 2017 compared to the prior year periods. Payments segment operating margin was negatively impacted by approximately 200 basis points during the second quarter of 2017 and by approximately 100 basis points during the first six months of 2017 related to a $15 million charge associated with two projects that were ended including a $10 million write-off of previously capitalized costs. Payments segment operating margin was positively impacted by approximately 50 basis points in the second quarter of 2017 and approximately 90 basis points in the first six months of 2017 from scalable revenue growth in our card services business. In addition, higher margin revenue mix contributed approximately 70 basis points to Payments segment operating margin in both the second quarter and first six months of 2017 compared to the prior year periods.

Operating income in our Financial segment increased $12 million , or 6% , and $13 million , or 3% , in the second quarter and first six months of 2017 , respectively, compared to the prior periods in 2016 . Operating margin increased 130 basis points to 34.3% in the second quarter of 2017 and increased 20 basis points to 33.0% in the first six months of 2017 compared to the prior year periods. Financial segment operating margin was positively impacted by approximately 80 basis points in the second quarter of 2017 and by approximately 70 basis points in the first six months of 2017 from revenue growth in our lending solutions business. For the first six months of 2017, this was partially offset by approximately 60 basis points from increased variable compensation expenses, primarily consisting of commissions related to higher sales performance.

The operating loss in Corporate and Other increased by $3 million and $12 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2017 , respectively, compared to the prior year periods primarily due to increased severance costs of $3 million and $11 million, respectively, as well as increased acquisition and related integration costs of $8 million and $5 million, respectively. These

increased costs were partially offset by a $10 million gain on the sale of our Australian item processing business in the second quarter of 2017.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $4 million , or 10% , and $6 million , or 8% , in the second quarter and first six months of 2017 , respectively, compared to the prior periods in 2016 . Higher average variable interest rates contributed to increased interest expense of approximately $2 million in the second quarter and approximately $3 million in the first six months of 2017 compared to the prior periods in 2016. Higher average outstanding debt contributed to increased interest expense of approximately $1 million in the second quarter and approximately $2 million in the first six months of 2017 compared to the prior periods in 2016.

Interest and Investment Income (Loss), net

The net interest and investment income in the second quarter and first six months of 2017 was primarily attributable to an unrealized gain on a forward currency hedge related to our pending acquisition of Monitise. The net interest and investment loss in the first six months of 2016 was attributable to a non-cash write-off of a $7 million cost-method investment.

Income Tax Provision

Income tax provision as a percentage of income before income from investment in unconsolidated affiliate was 32.8% and 34.2% in the second quarter of 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and was 32.2% and 42.2% in the first six months of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The rate in the first six months of 2017 included $31 million of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation awards recognized as a reduction in the income tax provision as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, partially offset by $9 million of income tax expense associated with our share of the gain on the sale of a business by StoneRiver in the first quarter of 2017. The rate in the first six months of 2016 included $54 million of income tax expense associated with our share of the net gain on the sale of a business interest by StoneRiver in the first quarter, partially reduced by $16 million of discrete benefits from the favorable resolution of tax matters.

Income from Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate

Our share of StoneRiver’s net income was $26 million and $146 million in the first six months of 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and was attributed to the net gains on the disposition of a business and a business interest at StoneRiver.

Net Income Per Share – Diluted

Net income per share-diluted was $1.02 and $0.94 in the second quarter of 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and was $2.15 and $2.21 in the first six months of 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Net income per share-diluted was favorably impacted by $0.08 per share and $0.39 per share in the first six months of 2017 and 2016 , respectively, due to our share of net investment gains, primarily from StoneRiver capital transactions. Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets reduced net income per share-diluted by $0.12 and $0.11 per share in the second quarter of 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and by $0.24 and $0.23 per share in the first six months of 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

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 capital expenditures and operating lease payments. We believe these needs will be satisfied using cash flow generated by our operations, along with our cash and cash equivalents of $299 million and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $1.2 billion at June 30, 2017 . The following table summarizes our operating cash flow and capital expenditure amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.



	Six Months Ended June 30,						Increase (Decrease)
(In millions)	2017			2016			$			%
Net income	$	468		$	501		$	(33	)
Depreciation and amortization	215			202			13

Deferred income taxes	—			5			(5		)
Income from investment in unconsolidated affiliate	(26		)	(146		)	120

Non-cash impairment charges	10			17			(7		)
Gain on sale of business	(10		)	—			(10		)
Net changes in working capital and other	(30		)	(34		)	4
Operating cash flow	$	691		$	687		$	4		1	%
Capital expenditures	$	136		$	145		$	(9	)	(6	)%

Our net cash provided by operating activities, or operating cash flow, was $691 million in the first six months of 2017 , an increase of 1% compared with $687 million in the first six months of 2016 . This increase was primarily due to improved operating results, largely offset by $109 million of lower cash dividends received from our StoneRiver joint venture.

Our current policy is to use our operating cash flow primarily to fund capital expenditures, share repurchases and acquisitions, and to repay debt rather than to pay dividends. Our capital expenditures were approximately 5% of our total revenue in both the first six months of 2017 and 2016 .

During the first six months of 2017 and 2016 , we received cash dividends of $31 million and $140 million , respectively, from our StoneRiver joint venture. These dividends, in their entirety, represented returns on our investment and are reported in cash flows from operating activities. During the first six months of 2017, we also acquired Online Banking Solutions, Inc. for a purchase price of $78 million , net of cash acquired. We funded the acquisition by utilizing a combination of available cash and existing availability under our revolving credit facility.

We purchased $684 million of our common stock during the first six months of 2017 . As of June 30, 2017 , we had approximately 14.6 million shares remaining under our current share repurchase authorizations. Shares repurchased are generally held for issuance in connection with our equity plans.

Total debt (including current maturities)	$	4,741	$	4,562

At June 30, 2017 , our debt consisted primarily of $3.3 billion of senior notes, $819 million of revolving credit facility borrowings and $629 million of term loan borrowings. Interest on our senior notes is paid semi-annually. During the first six months of 2017 , we were in compliance with all financial debt covenants.

Variable Rate Debt

We maintain a $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement and a term loan with a syndicate of banks. Both the outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the term loan bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR or on a base rate, plus a specified margin based on our long-term debt rating in effect from time to time. The variable interest rate was 2.29% on the revolving credit facility borrowings and 2.48% on the term loan borrowings at June 30, 2017 . There are no significant commitment fees and no compensating balance requirements on the revolving credit facility, which expires in April 2020. A scheduled principal payment on the term loan of $90 million is due on December 31, 2017, with the outstanding principal balance of $540 million due at maturity in October 2018. The revolving credit facility and the term loan contain various, substantially similar restrictions and covenants that require us, among other things, to: (i) limit our consolidated indebtedness as of the end of each fiscal quarter to no more than three and one-half times consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments during the period of four fiscal quarters then ended, and (ii) maintain consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments of at least three times consolidated interest expense as of the end of each fiscal quarter for the period of four fiscal quarters then ended.

NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT -

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

1.	Grant Date; Type of Option . The Option is granted to you on the Grant Date set forth in the Award Memorandum. As a “non-qualified stock option,” the Option will not be treated by you or the Company as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code.

Termination of Option . Your right to exercise the Option and to purchase the Option Shares shall expire and terminate in all events on the earliest of (a) the Expiration Date set forth in the Award Memorandum or (b) the date upon which exercise is no longer permitted pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement or (c) your failure to accept the terms of this Agreement, the Award Memorandum and the Plan within the time period and in the manner specified in this Agreement.


3.	Exercise Price . The purchase price to be paid upon the exercise of the Option will be the Exercise Price Per Option Share set forth in the Award Memorandum.

Vesting; Provisions Relating to Exercise. Once you become entitled to exercise any part of the Option (and to purchase Option Shares) pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in the Award Memorandum, that right will continue until the date on which the Option expires and terminates. The right to purchase Option Shares under the Option is cumulative, so that if the full number of Option Shares is not purchased in a single transaction, the balance may be purchased at any time or from time to time thereafter during the term of the Option. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may at any time accelerate the time at which the Option becomes exercisable by you with respect to any Option Shares. The Company may cancel, rescind, suspend, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict any unexpired, unpaid or deferred part of the Option at any time if you are not in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Agreement, the Award Memorandum and the Plan.

Exercise of Option.

Specifically, you understand and agree that you do not have voting rights or the right to receive dividends or any other distributions paid with respect to shares of Company common stock by virtue of this Option or the Option Shares subject hereto.

11.
