Ferris stated that the office of the CFO represents a global market of over $25 billion with double-digit growth, and that FIS delivers a comprehensive suite of end-to-end capabilities in this space. She noted that the company is on the right path to accelerate growth, expand profitability, and increase shareholder value, while acknowledging that progress is not a straight line and more work remains.

She also discussed a technology outage in the first quarter, stating that the company had taken steps to address the issue and that there was no material financial impact from the event. Ferris emphasized that the company has a full implementation pipeline for 2025 and 2026, particularly from record core wins.

“We are on the right path to accelerate growth, expand profitability, and increase shareholder value. And while progress isn't a straight line and we still have more work to do, I am extremely pleased with the momentum we have and excited about our prospects going forward.”
“We truly are. Um there's three things that are happening in financial services that have never happened before. The first is banks in the banking industry have incredible strength. They don't have any capital issues, they don't have any liquidity issues. They're extraordinarily strong. The second is with the rollback o...”
“I've been saying for a while, given how much data we have, which I thought was our moat, I actually think what our moat is, it's not just data. We have trusted data that we provide to banks so you feel comfortable about everything being compliant, data privacy, it complies with all the risk, etc.”
“You have to be clear-eyed on what your bank strategy is. Don't be confused and get swayed. So, if you're if wealth is part of your strategy, make sure that you have the best set of tools and and what you need to serve that set of customers. If you know, as you think about tokenized deposits or digital currency, it's ve...”
“Innovation in financial services doesn't just happen in this industry. It runs through FIS. For more than 50 years, through every market cycle, every technology shift, every moment of disruption, FIS has been where financial innovation takes hold.”
“We sit on 73 billion annual payment transactions across approximately 1.1 billion accounts on file. And now, the FIS data and AI platform brings those data sets together as fuel for real-time AI-native future.”
“Unlike horizontal data platforms, FIS brings the regulated infrastructure, system of record data, and compliance architecture that makes AI deployable in banking today. That is a durable advantage. It is our modern competitive moat.”
“To be clear, FIS owns the agent and the regulated infrastructure everything that is deployed to the bank. Anthropic provides the underlying LLM model. Client delivery remains fully owned and protected by us.”
“We are not receding from this market. It is a very key market for us and I'll it continues to be the majority of our core wins come from this cohort. We are very excited about our Horizon core that's best in class here that we continue to win on.”
“We delivered a strong quarter led by momentum in our banking business. We are executing on our future forward strategy centered around client centricity, operational simplification and innovation creating greater value for both our shareholders and our clients. The numbers tell the story. We delivered strong 5% revenue...”
“In April, we announced the strategic acquisition of global payments issuer business and the sale of our minority world pay stake transactions that align with our operational simplification strategy while strengthening our financial profile and significantly improving our free cash flow generation. We returned 460 milli...”
“Last week, we announced we're expanding money movement hub capabilities to include digital assets through our partnership with Circle Internet Group, enabling banks to transact in USDC for both domestic and cross-border payments. This perfectly illustrates how our build and partner strategies align to enhance the entir...”
“We are raising our full year outlook ranges for revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS to reflect a strong second quarter, a recently closed acquisition and the favorable impact of currencies. We are raising our revenue target by 75 to 85 million resulting in adjusted revenue growth of 4.8 to 5.3%. We now anticipate...”
“I do think there was some pull forward in second quarter as James recommended, but broadly overall very happy with where recurring is going in terms of the tuck-in. We remain very committed to our buy build partner strategy. It's executing very well for us both in terms of taking advantage of our global distribution an...”
