Banking segment performance reached the high end of outlook ranges, driven by sustained momentum in both core banking and payments ecosystems.
The Total Issuing Solutions acquisition is playing out as expected and performing well., evidenced by a 35% year-over-year increase in enterprise-wide ACV sold to joint clients.
Capital Markets underperformed due to a combination of known client attrition from the UBS/Credit Suisse merger and internal execution misses in professional services conversion.
Management attributed the Capital Markets weakness to 'self-inflicted' operational delays in converting backlog rather than broader market demand shifts.
The company is shifting its commercial focus from lower-margin products to higher-margin solutions, resulting in double-digit enterprise-wide sales growth over the last 12 months.
AI adoption is being integrated across four layers—engineering, servicing, workforce, and products—to drive both internal productivity and client-facing differentiation.
A strategic review of the Capital Markets portfolio is underway to identify and potentially divest products that do not align with the core focus on large financial institutions.

Outlook and Strategic Assumptions

Full-year free cash flow guidance was raised by $100 million to a midpoint of $2.2 billion, driven by faster-than-expected reductions in one-time cash expenses.
Capital Markets revenue growth expectations were lowered to 3%-3.5%, reflecting a slow start to sales in the first half and delayed professional services implementation.
Management anticipates a modest reacceleration in Capital Markets during Q4 2026 as the impact of specific client attrition begins to normalize.
The 2027 framework assumes recurring revenue acceleration in Capital Markets as lower attrition and improved backlog conversion offset the absence of M&A contributions.
Long-term free cash flow targets remain set at greater than $3 billion by 2028, supported by disciplined capital deployment and the phase-out of integration costs.

Risk Factors and Structural Adjustments

UBS's acquisition of Credit Suisse created a 1 percentage point headwind for Capital Markets revenue growth in 2026 due to resulting client attrition.
Interest rate pressures have tempered growth in the lending business, which was previously expected to contribute 1 point of organic growth to the Capital Markets segment.
One-time cash expenses for legacy FIS operations were reduced by 17% compared to the original guide, reflecting aggressive cost rationalization.
Management addressed competitive concerns regarding Visa Pismo, stating their focus remains on large-scale financial institutions where Visa has indicated it is not prioritizing.

Q&A Session Summary

Root causes of professional services weakness in Capital Markets

One stock. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here.

Management clarified the miss was primarily due to lower-than-planned ACV sales in the first half, which typically converts to revenue at a 75% rate within the same year.
Secondary factors included overly aggressive internal assumptions regarding the timing of backlog and pipeline conversion.

Competitive landscape and Visa Pismo disruption concerns

FIS maintains an 85% win rate for large financial institutions with over 1 million accounts, emphasizing that scale and complexity are their primary moats.
Management noted that Visa's own commentary suggests Pismo is targeting small-to-mid-sized banks and fintechs, not the large-scale clients FIS serves.

Strategic review parameters for Capital Markets products

The review focuses on products that do not serve the core large financial institution base or fall outside the primary solution ecosystems of trading, lending, and treasury.
Management acknowledged that while divestitures are being evaluated, these products are often highly integrated into core infrastructure, making separation complex.

Modernization strategy and 'hollowing out the core'

FIS is utilizing a recent acq-hire to build orchestration layers that allow banks to modernize from the 'inside out' without a full core replacement.
The strategy aims to provide a 'safer bet' for large banks by offering both modern banking platforms and the ability to hollow out existing legacy cores.
