Throughout its history FIS has made many acquisitions. Its largest to date would have been the reported merger with Global Payments, a deal estimated around US$70 billion, but which fell apart at the last minute in December 2020. * Alltel Information Services, 2003 $1.05 billion *Finances
A 50% year-over-year increase in Quarterly Revenue was reported in FIS' Q1 2020 Earnings Report climbing from $2.07 billion to $3.01 billion, while Adjusted Net Earnings more than doubled (+112%) from $378 Million to $802 Million. According to FIS Q1 2020 Earnings Report, a majority of these substantial increases can be attributed to the historically massive $35 billion merger/acquisition deal with Worldpay Inc. which closed in Q3 2019. For the fiscal year 2017, FIS reported earnings of US$1.319 billion, with an annual revenue of US$9.123 billion, a decrease of 1.3% over the previous fiscal cycle. FIS shares traded at over $106 per share, and its market capitalization was valued at over US$33 billion in November 2018.Controversies
On July 3, 2007, Certegy Check Services, part of FIS, announced that a worker at one of its subsidiaries stole 2.3 million consumer records containing credit card, bank account, and other personal information. This estimate was later increased to 8.5 million consumer records. The next month, a law firm filed a class-action lawsuit against CCS and parent company FIS based on the privacy breach; the firm claims that, since CCS provides check-verification services to many major U.S. stores, "consumers do not choose to use the services of these companies but rather are forced to do so". In August 2011, Florida based eFunds Prepaid Solutions, part of FIS, was the victim of a sophisticated cyberattack that saw hackers steal $13 million from ATMs using 22 stolen prepaid cards belonging to a single client of FIS.References
