• Banking Solutions remained a key growth driver, with revenue up 6.1% and EBITDA up 10.6%; recurring revenue was steady at 5%. Management cited strong demand for payments, fraud prevention, data, lending, modernization, and cybersecurity solutions.
• TSYS integration is progressing well: FIS reported wins with two large international banks, 72% of Total Issuing revenue is now contracted through 2029 or later, and joint-client ACV sales rose 35% year over year. The company remains on track for more than $150 million of EBITDA benefit from synergies by 2028.
• Capital Markets underperformed expectations: Revenue grew 3.2%, while professional services declined 17% because of weaker sales and slower backlog conversion. FIS cut its full-year Capital Markets growth outlook to 3%–3.5% from 5.5%, citing execution issues, UBS/Credit Suisse-related attrition, and continued pressure in lending.
• FIS is evaluating strategic alternatives for select Capital Markets products that do not fit its long-term profile, though management emphasized that this is not a review of the entire segment.
