FIS hits $10.7B in revenue as aggressive buybacks reward shareholders

Fidelity National Information Services (NYSE:FIS) reported a strong fiscal year 2025, meeting its financial targets and signaling a new phase of growth following the successful completion of its structural reorganization.

The company posted full-year revenue of $10.7 billion, representing a 5% increase on a GAAP basis and 6% on an adjusted basis.

While GAAP diluted EPS stood at $0.73, adjusted EPS—which excludes one-time costs associated with the company’s "Future Forward" efficiency program—rose 10% to $5.75.

This performance was underpinned by a 19% increase in free cash flow, which totaled $2.6 billion for the year.

Meanwhile, FIS maintained its aggressive stance on returning value to its stockholders throughout 2025.

The company returned a total of $2.1 billion in capital, including $1.3 billion in share repurchases.

This strategy was supported by a strong balance sheet that was further optimized at the start of 2026.

On January 9, 2026, FIS marked a major milestone by closing the acquisition of Total Issuing™ Solutions, strengthening its core banking technology footprint.

Simultaneously, the company finalized the sale of its remaining stake in Worldpay, a move designed to simplify its corporate structure and focus on high-margin recurring revenue streams in banking and capital markets.

With the portfolio transition largely complete, FIS introduced an ambitious outlook for fiscal 2026.

The company anticipates adjusted revenue growth between 30% to 31%.
