Segment Realignment
Fiserv, Inc. (the “Company”) is effecting changes in its business designed to further enhance operational performance in the delivery of its integrated portfolio of products and solutions to its financial institution clients. As a result, the Company expects to realign its reportable segments to correspond with these organizational changes (the “Segment Realignment”), which the Company expects to be completed effective for the quarter ending March 31, 2024. As further described below under Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company’s new reportable segments are expected to be Merchant Solutions and Financial Solutions. The Company continues to allocate resources and assess performance based on the current reportable segment structure.
Supplemental Revenue Information
In connection with the Company’s investor conference on November 15, 2023, the Company is providing updated information in the schedules included in Exhibit 99.1 to recalculate certain non-GAAP measures of its historical revenue under the expected new segment reporting structure for each of the quarters in 2022, the first three quarters of 2023, and the full year 2022. The schedules have been prepared by making certain adjustments to the underlying composition of the Company’s historical revenue information. The adjustments are discussed in the notes to the schedules. In addition, the Company is providing anticipated new segment organic revenue growth outlook for 2024-2026, as follows:
| Organic Revenue Growth | ||||
| Preliminary Outlook 2024 |
Medium Term Outlook 2025 - 2026 | |||
| Merchant Solutions |
18% - 20% | 12% - 15% | ||
| Financial Solutions |
5% - 7% | 6% - 8% | ||
| Total Company |
11% - 13% | 9% - 12% | ||
A reconciliation of unaudited non-GAAP revenue measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are included in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Form 8-K”), except for forward-looking revenue measures where a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of these items that are excluded from the non-GAAP outlook measures. The Company’s forward-looking non-GAAP revenue measures, including adjusted revenue, organic revenue and organic revenue growth, are designed to enhance shareholders’ ability to evaluate the company’s performance by excluding certain items to focus on factors and trends affecting its business.
The Company’s organic revenue growth outlook excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions, dispositions and the impact of the Company’s postage reimbursements. The currency impact is measured as the increase or decrease in the expected adjusted revenue for the period by applying prior period foreign currency exchange rates to present a constant currency comparison to prior periods.
| Preliminary 2024 Growth | ||
| Revenue |
6.5% - 8.5% | |
| Postage reimbursements |
(0.5)% | |
|
| ||
| Adjusted revenue |
6% - 8% | |
|
| ||
| Currency impact |
4.5% | |
| Acquisition adjustments |
0.0% | |
| Divestiture adjustments |
0.5% | |
|
| ||
| Organic revenue |
11% - 13% | |
|

The Company anticipates the 2024 adjustments will occur as follows: postage reimbursements in Corporate and Other, currency impact in Merchant Solutions and divestiture adjustments in Financial Solutions.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding anticipated organic revenue growth. Statements can generally be identified as forward-looking because they include words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “could,” “should,” or words of similar meaning. Statements that describe the Company’s future plans, outlook, objectives or goals are also forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. The factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially include, among others, the following: the Company’s ability to compete effectively against new and existing competitors and to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost-effective basis; changes in customer demand for the Company’s products and services; the ability of the Company’s technology to keep pace with a rapidly evolving marketplace; the success of the Company’s merchant alliances, some of which are not controlled by the Company; the impact of a security breach or operational failure on the Company’s business, including disruptions caused by other participants in the global financial system; losses due to chargebacks, refunds or returns as a result of fraud or the failure of the Company’s vendors and merchants to satisfy their obligations; changes in local, regional, national and international economic or political conditions, including those resulting from heightened inflation, rising interest rates, a recession, bank failures, or intensified international hostilities, and the impact they may have on the Company and its employees, clients, vendors, supply chain, operations and sales; the effect of proposed and enacted legislative and regulatory actions affecting the Company or the financial services industry as a whole; the Company’s ability to comply with government regulations and applicable card association and network rules; the protection and validity of intellectual property rights; the outcome of pending and future litigation and governmental proceedings; the Company’s ability to successfully identify, complete and integrate acquisitions, and to realize the anticipated benefits associated with the same; the impact of the Company’s strategic initiatives; the Company’s ability to attract and retain key personnel; volatility and disruptions in financial markets that may impact the Company’s ability to access preferred sources of financing and the terms on which the Company is able to obtain financing or increase its costs of borrowing; adverse impacts from currency exchange rates or currency controls; changes in corporate tax and interest rates; and other factors included in “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in other documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available at http://www.sec.gov. The preliminary 2024 outlook and medium term outlook for 2025 and 2026 reflect the anticipated organic revenue growth of the Company in each year based on its current and expected assets, businesses and operations. The estimates assume no material acquisitions or dispositions and that there are no other factors, including those described above in this Form 8-K, materially impacting the operations of the Company.
You should consider these factors carefully in evaluating forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 8-K.
