PART I
Safe Harbor Statement
We have included or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form
10-K, and from time to time our management may make, statements that may constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but
instead represent only our belief regarding future events, many of which by their nature are
inherently uncertain and outside our control. These statements include statements other than
historical information or statements of current condition and may relate to our future plans,
objectives and results, among other things, and also include (without limitation) statements made
in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part
II, Item 7 of this Annual Report. It is possible that our actual results may differ, possibly
materially, from the anticipated results indicated in these forward-looking statements. Important
factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements
include, among others, those discussed under Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual
Report and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report.
Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements,
which speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update
publicly or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events
that arise after the dates they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise except as required by applicable law. You should, however, consult further disclosures
we may make in future filings of our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q
and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments thereto.
Item 1. Business
Business. We provide electronic payment processing and related services to financial and
nonfinancial institutions. Services include processing consumer, retail, commercial, government
services, stored value and debit cards. Based in Columbus, Georgia, and traded on the New York
Stock Exchange under the symbol TSS, we provide services to financial and nonfinancial
institutions throughout the United States and internationally. We currently offer merchant
acquiring services to financial institutions and other organizations in the United States through
our wholly owned subsidiary, TSYS Acquiring Solutions, L.L.C., and in Japan through our majority
owned subsidiary, GP Network Corporation. We also offer optional value added products and services
to support our core processing services. Value added products and services include: risk management
tools and techniques, such as credit evaluation, fraud detection and prevention and behavior
analysis tools; and revenue enhancement tools and customer retention programs, such as loyalty
programs and bonus rewards. Synovus Financial Corp., a diverse financial services company with
more than $31 billion in assets, owns 81.1% of us.
1
The services we provide are divided into three operating segments, domestic-based support
services, which accounted for approximately 74% of our revenues in 2006, international-based
support services, which accounted for approximately 10% of our revenues in 2006 and merchant
acquiring services, which accounted for approximately 16% of our revenues in 2006.
Seasonality. Due to the somewhat seasonal nature of the credit card industry, our revenues
and results of operations have generally increased in the fourth quarter of each year because of
increased transaction and authorization volumes during the traditional holiday shopping season.
Intellectual Property. Our intellectual property portfolio is a component of our ability to
be a leading electronic payment services provider. We diligently protect and work to build our
intellectual property rights through patent, servicemark and trade secret laws. We also use
various licensed intellectual property to conduct our business. In addition to using our
intellectual property in our own operations, we grant licenses to certain of our clients to use our
intellectual property.
Major Customers. A significant amount of our revenues is derived from long-term contracts
with large clients, including our major customers during 2006, Bank of America Corporation and JP
Morgan Chase & Co. In October 2006, we completed the deconversion of Bank of Americas consumer
card portfolio as a result of its decision to shift the processing of that portfolio in house in
connection with its merger with MBNA Corporation. For the year ended December 31, 2006, Bank of
America and JP Morgan Chase & Co accounted for approximately 24.3% and 10.1%, respectively, of
our total revenues. As a result, the loss of Bank of America or JP Morgan Chase & Co, or other
large clients, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of
operations and cash flows. See Major Customers under the Financial Review Section on pages 34
and 35 of the Annual Report which is incorporated in this document by reference.
Competition. We encounter vigorous competition in providing electronic payment processing
services from several different sources. Most of the national market in third party card
processors is presently being provided by approximately three vendors. We believe that as of
December 31, 2006 we are the second largest third party card processor in the United States. In
addition, we compete with in house processors and software vendors which provide their products to
institutions which process in house. We are presently encountering, and in the future anticipate
continuing to encounter, substantial competition from data processing and bankcard computer service
firms and other such third party vendors located throughout the United States and from certain
international processors with respect to international-based support services. Based upon
available market share data that includes cards processed in house, we believe that during 2006 we
held a 39% share of the domestic consumer card processing market, an 86% share of the Visa and
MasterCard domestic commercial card processing market and a 14% share of the domestic retail card
processing market. With respect to merchant acquiring services, we believe that TSYS Acquiring
Solutions is the second largest processor of merchant accounts and holds a 20% market share of all
bank-card accepting merchant locations in the U.S.
2
Our major competitor in the card processing industry is First Data Resources, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of First Data Corporation, which provides card processing services. The principal
methods of competition between us and First Data Resources are price, system performance and
reliability, breadth of features and functionality, disaster recovery capabilities, data security,
scalability and flexibility of infrastructure and servicing capability. Certain other subsidiaries
of First Data Corporation also compete with us with respect to the provision of merchant acquiring
services.
Backlog of Accounts. As of December 31, 2006, we had a pipeline of approximately ten million
accounts associated with new clients. We expect to convert our entire backlog of ten million new
accounts in 2007.
Regulation and Examination. We are subject to being examined, and are indirectly regulated,
by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the National Credit Union Administration,
and the various state financial regulatory agencies which supervise and regulate the financial
institutions for which we provide electronic payment processing services. Matters reviewed and
examined by these federal and state financial institution regulatory agencies have included our
internal controls in connection with our present performance of electronic payment processing
services, and the agreements pursuant to which we provide such services. In addition, we are
registered with Visa and MasterCard as a service provider for member institutions and are subject
to applicable card association rules.
As the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta has approved Synovus indirect ownership of us through
Columbus Bank and Trust Company, we are subject to direct regulation by the Federal Reserve Board.
We were formed with the prior written approval of, and are subject to regulation and examination
by, the Department of Banking and Finance of the State of Georgia as a subsidiary of Columbus Bank
and Trust Company. In addition, as we and our subsidiaries operate as subsidiaries of Columbus
Bank and Trust Company, we are subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Employees. As of December 31, 2006, we had 6,644 full-time employees.

our board committees are available in the Corporate Governance section of our website at
www.tsys.com/ir/governance. Copies of these documents are also available in print upon written

Item 1A. Risk Factors
This section highlights specific risks that could affect our business and us. Although this
section attempts to highlight key factors, please be aware that other risks may prove to be
important in the future. New risks may emerge at any time and we cannot predict such risks or
estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance. In addition to the factors
discussed elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this report, among the other factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially are the following:
If we do not successfully renew or renegotiate our agreements with our clients, our business will
suffer.
A significant amount of our revenues is derived from long-term contracts with large clients,
including certain major customers. Consolidation among financial institutions has resulted in an
increasingly concentrated client base. The financial position of these clients and their
willingness to pay for our products and services are affected by general market positions,
competitive pressures and operating margins within their industries. Renewal or renegotiation time
presents our clients with the opportunity to consider other providers. The loss or renegotiation
of our contracts with existing clients or a significant decline in the number of transactions we
process for them could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of
operation.
Consolidation among financial institutions, including the merger of TSYS clients with entities that
are not TSYS clients or the sale of portfolios by TSYS clients to entities that are not TSYS
clients could materially impact our financial position and results of operation.
Consolidation among financial institutions, particularly in the area of credit card
operations, continues to be a major risk. Specifically, we face the risk that our clients may
merge with entities that are not our clients or our clients may sell portfolios to entities that
are not our clients, thereby impacting our existing agreements and projected revenues with these
clients. For example, we completed the deconversion of Bank of Americas consumer card portfolio
in October 2006 as a result of its decision to shift the processing of that portfolio in house in
connection with its merger with MBNA Corporation. In addition, consolidation among financial
institutions has led to an increasingly concentrated client base at TSYS which increases the
pressure on our profit margins. Consolidation among financial institutions and the loss of any
4
significant client by us could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results
of operations.
Accounts on file may be lower than anticipated and internal growth rates for our existing clients
may be lower than anticipated.
Our electronic payment processing services revenues are generated from charges based on
several factors, one of which is the number of accounts on file. There is no guarantee that
accounts on file will be as we anticipate and this could have a material adverse effect on our
financial position and results of operations. Furthermore, a significant amount of our revenues is
derived from certain large clients and internal growth rates for these existing clients may be
lower than anticipated, thereby negatively impacting our business.
We may incur expenses associated with the signing of a significant client to our processing system
and in connection with our efforts to grow internationally or incur other costs that may hurt our
financial results.
We incur significant up-front expenses prior to converting a significant client to our
processing systems. In the event we enter into a processing contract with a significant client,
these expenses will directly affect our earnings results. In addition, we provide services to our
clients worldwide and plan to continue to expand our service offerings internationally in the
future. We are likely to incur costs in growing our business internationally, and there is no
guarantee that such international expansion will be successful. We may also incur other expenses
and costs, such as operating and marketing expenses. If we are unable to successfully manage these
expenses as our business develops, changes and expands, our financial position and results of
operations could be negatively impacted. In addition, changes in accounting policies can
significantly affect how we calculate expenses and earnings.
There may be a decline in the use of credit cards as a payment mechanism for consumers or adverse
developments with respect to the credit card industry in general.
If consumers do not continue to use credit cards as a payment mechanism for their transactions
or if there is a change in the mix of payments between cash, credit cards and debit cards, it could
have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. We believe
future growth in the use of credit cards will be driven by the cost, ease-of-use, and quality of
products and services offered to consumers and businesses. In order to consistently increase and
maintain our profitability, consumers and businesses must continue to use credit cards. Moreover,
if there is an adverse development in the credit card industry in general, such as new legislation
or regulation that makes it more difficult for our clients to do business, our financial position
and results of operations may be adversely affected.
We may not convert and deconvert clients portfolios as scheduled.
The timing of the conversion of card portfolios of new clients to our processing systems and
the deconversion of existing clients to other systems impacts our revenues and expenses.
5
There is no guarantee that conversions and deconversions will occur as scheduled and this may have
a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
We have pursued various strategic acquisitions and these acquisitions may be more difficult to
integrate than anticipated.
We regularly explore opportunities for strategic acquisitions and expect to grow, in part,
through such acquisitions. Difficulty in integrating an acquired company may cause us not to
realize expected revenue increases, cost savings, increases in geographic or product presence,
and/or other projected benefits of the acquisition. The integration could result in loss of key
employees, disruption of our business or the business of the acquired company, or otherwise
adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with clients or achieve the anticipated
benefits of the acquisition. These factors could contribute to us not achieving the anticipated
benefits of the acquisition within the desired time frames, if at all.
Our business may be adversely affected by risks associated with foreign operations.
We provide services to our clients worldwide and plan to continue to expand our service
offerings internationally in the future. As a result, our business and revenues derived from
international operations are subject to risk of loss from currency fluctuations, social
instability, changes in government policies, unfavorable political or diplomatic developments and
changes in legislation related to non-U.S. ownership. Any adverse change in one of the foregoing
factors could impact our plans to continue to expand our business internationally and adversely
affect our financial position and results of operations.
The costs and effects of litigation, investigations or similar matters, or adverse facts and
developments related thereto, could materially affect our financial position and results of
operations.
We may be involved from time to time in a variety of litigation, investigations or similar
matters arising out of our business. Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted
against it, and any claims asserted against us, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, may harm
our reputation. Should the ultimate judgments or settlements in any litigation or investigation
significantly exceed our insurance coverage, they could have a material adverse effect on our
financial position and results of operations. In addition, we may not be able to obtain
appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future, nor may we be able to obtain adequate
replacement policies with acceptable terms, if at all.
Changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board, or other authoritative bodies, could materially impact our
financial statements.
Our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we record and report our financial
position and results of operations. From time to time, the regulatory agencies, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board, and other authoritative bodies change the financial
6
accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our financial statements. These
changes can be hard to predict and can materially impact how we record and report our financial
position and results of operations.
If we do not anticipate and respond to technological change or changes in industry standards,
particularly with respect to e-commerce, our services could become obsolete and we could lose our
clients.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to timely, successfully and cost-effectively
improve and implement processing systems to provide new products, increased functionality and
increased efficiencies. The widespread adoption of new technologies could require us to make
substantial expenditures to modify or adopt our existing products and services, and we may not be
successful in improving and implementing our processing systems or in achieving market acceptance
of these new technologies. If competitors introduce new products and services embodying new
technologies, or if new industry standards and practices emerge, particularly with respect to
e-commerce, our existing product and service offerings, proprietary technology and systems may
become obsolete. Further, if we fail to adopt or develop these new technologies or to adapt our
products and services to emerging industry standards, we may lose current and future clients, which
could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. Our
industry is changing rapidly. To remain competitive, we must continue to enhance and improve the
functionality and features of our processing systems, products, services and technologies.
Changes in the laws, regulations, credit card association rules or other industry standards
affecting our business may require significant product redevelopment efforts or may reduce the
market for or value of our products.
There may be changes in the laws, regulations, credit card association rules or other industry
standards that affect our operating environment in substantial and unpredictable ways. Changes to
statutes, regulations or industry standards, including interpretation and implementation of
statutes, regulations or standards, could increase or decrease the cost of doing business or affect
the competitive balance. We cannot predict whether any of this potential legislation will be
enacted or whether any credit card association rule or other industry standard will change, and if
enacted or changed, the effect that it would have on our financial position or results of
operations. These changes may require us to incur significant expenses to redevelop our products,
but there is no guarantee that we would be successful or that there would be a market for or value
of our products. Also, if we do not comply with laws, regulations, policies or standards, we could
receive regulatory sanctions and damage to our reputation.
We may not be able to successfully manage our intellectual property and may be subject to
infringement claims.
In the rapidly developing legal framework, we rely on a combination of contractual rights and
copyright, trademark, patent and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary
technology. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property, third parties may infringe
or
7
misappropriate our intellectual property or may develop software or technology competitive to us.
Our competitors may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products or services or
design around our intellectual property rights. We may have to litigate to enforce and protect our
intellectual property rights, trade secrets and know-how or to determine their scope, validity or
enforceability, which is expensive and could cause a diversion of resources and may not prove
successful. The loss of intellectual property protection or the inability to secure or enforce
intellectual property protection could harm our business and ability to compete.
We may also be subject to costly litigation in the event our products and technology infringe
upon another partys proprietary rights. Third parties may have, or may eventually be issued,
patents that would be infringed by our products or technology. Any of these third parties could
make a claim of infringement against us with respect to our products or technology. We may also be
subject to claims by third parties for breach of copyright, trademark or license usage rights. Any
such claims and any resulting litigation could subject us to significant liability for damages. An
adverse determination in any litigation of this type could require us to design around a third
partys patent or to license alternative technology from another party. In addition, litigation is
time consuming and expensive to defend and could result in the diversion of the time and attention
of our management and employees. Any claim from third parties may result in limitation on our
ability to use the intellectual property subject to these claims.
Security and privacy breaches in our systems may damage client relations and inhibit our growth.
The uninterrupted operation of our processing systems and the confidentiality of the client
information that resides on our systems is critical to our business. We have security backups and
recovery systems in place, as well as a business continuity plan to ensure our systems will not be
inoperable. We also have what we believe to be sufficient security around our systems to prevent
unauthorized access. Any failures in our security and privacy measures could have a material
adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. We electronically store
personal information about consumers who are customers of our clients. If we are unable to
protect, or our clients perceive that we are unable to protect, the security and privacy of our
electronic transactions, our growth could be materially adversely affected. A security or privacy
breach may:
|
|
|
cause our clients to lose confidence in our services; |
|
|
|
|
harm our reputation; |
|
|
|
|
expose us to liability; and |
|
|
|
|
increase our expenses from potential remediation costs. |
While we believe we use proven applications designed for data security and integrity to
process electronic transactions, there can be no assurance that our use of these applications will
be sufficient to address changing market positions or the security and privacy concerns of existing
and potential clients.
8
If we lose key personnel or are unable to attract additional qualified personnel as we grow, our
business could be adversely affected.
We are dependent upon the ability and experience of a number of highly skilled technical,
management and sales and marketing personnel who have substantial experience with our operations,
the rapidly changing transaction processing industry and markets in which we offer our services.
It is possible that the loss of the services of one or a combination of our key personnel would
have an adverse effect on our operations. Our success also depends on our ability to continue to
attract, manage and retain additional qualified management and technical personnel as we grow.
Competition for the best people, particularly those individuals with technology experience, is
intense. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to attract or retain such personnel.
Our financial condition and outlook may be adversely affected by damage to our reputation.
Our financial condition and outlook is highly dependent upon perceptions of our business
practices and reputation. Our ability to attract and retain clients and employees could be
adversely affected to the extent our reputation is damaged. Negative public opinion could result
from our actual or alleged conduct in any number of activities, including corporate governance,
regulatory compliance, mergers and acquisitions, disclosure and security breaches. Damage to our
reputation could give rise to legal risks, which, in turn, could increase the size and number of
litigation claims and damages asserted or subject us to enforcement actions, fines and penalties
and cause us to incur related costs and expenses.
Various domestic or international military or terrorist activities or conflicts could affect our
business and financial position.
Acts or threats of war or terrorism, actions taken by the U.S. or other governments in
response to acts or threats of terrorism and/or military conflicts, could negatively affect
business and economic positions in the U.S. If terrorist activity, acts of war or other
international hostilities cause an overall economic decline, our financial position and results of
operations could be materially adversely affected. The potential for future terrorist attacks, the
national and international responses to terrorist attacks or perceived threats to national security
and other actual or potential conflicts or acts of war, including conflict in the Middle East, have
created many economic and political uncertainties that could seriously harm our business and
results of operations in ways that cannot presently be predicted.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Exchange Risk. We are exposed to foreign exchange risk because we have assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies including the Euro, British
Pounds Sterling (BPS), Mexican Peso, Canadian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Chinese Renminbi, Brazilian
Real, Cypriot Pounds and Malaysian Ringgets. These currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at
current exchange rates, except for revenues, costs and expenses and net income, which are
translated at the average exchange rate for each reporting period. Net exchange gains or losses
resulting from the translation of assets and liabilities of our foreign operations, net of tax, are
accumulated in a separate section of shareholders equity entitled accumulated other comprehensive
income. The amount of other comprehensive income related to foreign currency translation for the
year ended December 31, 2006 was $15.9 million net of tax. The amount of other comprehensive loss
for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $9.6 million. The amount of other comprehensive income
for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $7.1 million net of tax. Currently, we do not use
financial instruments to hedge our exposure to exchange rate changes.

We record foreign currency translation adjustments associated with other balance sheet
accounts. See Nonoperating Income (Expense) under the
Financial Review Section on page 42 of
the Annual Report which is incorporated in this document by reference. We maintain several cash
accounts denominated in foreign currencies, primarily in Euros and BPS. As we translate the
foreign-denominated cash balances into U.S. dollars, the translated cash balance is adjusted upward
or downward depending upon the foreign currency exchange movements. The upward or downward
adjustment is recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency translation in our statements of
income. As those cash accounts have increased, the upward or downward adjustments have increased.
We recorded a translation loss of approximately $1.7 million for the year ended
11
December 31, 2006 relating to the translation of cash accounts. The balance of the
foreign-denominated cash accounts subject to risk of translation gains or losses at December 31,
2006 was approximately $32.8 million, the majority of which is denominated in Euros.
We provide financing to our international operations in Europe and Japan through intercompany
loans that require each operation to repay the financing in U.S. dollars. The functional currency
of each operation is the respective local currency. As we translate the foreign currency
denominated financial statements into U.S. dollars, the translated balance of the financing
(liability) is adjusted upward or downward to match the U.S. dollar obligation (receivable) on our
financial statements. The upward or downward adjustment is recorded as a gain or loss on foreign
currency translation. As a result of these financing arrangements, we recorded a foreign currency
translation gain on our financing with foreign operations during the year ended December 31, 2006
of $3.8 million. The balance of the financing arrangements at December 31, 2006 was approximately
$64 million.
To follow is a summary of account balances subject to foreign currency exchange rates between
the local currencies and the U.S. dollar:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors
Total System Services, Inc.:
Under date
of February 28, 2007, we reported on the consolidated balance sheets of Total System
Services, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholders equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, as contained in the 2006 annual report to
shareholders. These consolidated financial statements and our report thereon are incorporated by
reference in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. In connection
with our audits of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements, we also audited the
related consolidated financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying index. This
financial statement schedule is the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on this financial statement schedule based on our audits.
In our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.
As discussed in Notes 1 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006,
the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation as required by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.
As discussed in Notes 16 and 19 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the
recognition and disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158,
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, as of December
31, 2006.
