TSYS Reports First Quarter 2011 Results

Columbus, Ga., April 26, 2011 — TSYS (NYSE: TSS) today reported results for the first quarter 2011 with total revenues of $429.4 million, an increase of 3.9% over 2010. Excluding termination fees in 2010, total revenues increased 10.0%. Basic EPS from continuing operations was $0.25. Excluding termination fees in 2010, basic EPS from continuing operations increased 35.1%.

“The economic momentum generated during the last two quarters continues to move us forward, and has reinforced our enthusiasm for 2011. Our same-client cardholder transaction volumes increased 9.6%, marking the sixth consecutive quarter of growth. Organic revenue growth continues to improve with the first quarter at 3.9%. We believe we are in-line to achieve our financial guidance for 2011,” said Philip W. Tomlinson, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of TSYS.

“We continue to enhance shareholder value through our deployment of capital through acquisitions and share repurchases. We completed the purchase of the remaining 49% interest in TSYS Merchant Solutions in January for a net purchase price of $169.5 million. In addition, we purchased 2 million shares of stock during the quarter under our share repurchase plan, bringing the total purchased over the past three quarters to 5 million shares,” said Tomlinson.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains statements that are not historical facts and constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding TSYS’ belief that it will achieve its financial guidance for 2011, and the assumptions underlying such statements including, with respect to TSYS’ earnings guidance for 2011: (1) the economy will not worsen during 2011; (2) there will be no deconversions of large clients during the year; (3) there will be no significant movement in foreign currency exchange rates related to TSYS’ business during 2011; (4) TSYS will not incur significant expenses associated with the conversion of new large clients or acquisitions, or any significant impairment of goodwill or other intangibles; and (5) there will be no significant movements in LIBOR, and no significant draws on the remaining balance of TSYS’ revolving credit facility. These statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of TSYS’ management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by our forward-looking statements in this press release. Many of these factors are beyond TSYS’ ability to control or predict. These factors include, but are not limited to: (1) one or more of the assumptions set forth above upon which TSYS’ 2011 earnings guidance is based is inaccurate; (2) adverse developments with respect to entering into contracts with new clients and retaining current clients; (3) continued consolidation and turmoil in the financial services and other industries during 2011, including the merger of TSYS clients with entities that are not TSYS processing clients, the sale of portfolios by TSYS clients to entities that are not TSYS processing clients and the nationalization or seizure by banking regulators of TSYS clients; (4) TSYS is unable to control expenses and increase market share both domestically and internationally; (5) TSYS is unable to manage the impact of slowing economic conditions and consumer spending; (6) the material breach of security of any of TSYS’ systems; (7) the impact of potential and completed acquisitions, including

Page 2 of 11

the costs associated therewith and their being more difficult to integrate than anticipated; (8) the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act on TSYS and on our clients; (9) changes occur in laws, rules, regulations, credit card association rules or other industry standards affecting TSYS and our clients that may result in costly new compliance burdens on TSYS and our clients and lead to a decrease in the volume and/or number of transactions processed; (10) the costs and effects of litigation, investigations or similar matters or adverse facts and developments relating thereto; (11) adverse developments with respect to the credit card industry in general, including a decline in the use of credit cards as a payment mechanism; and (12) internal growth rates of TSYS’ existing clients are lower than anticipated whether as a result of unemployment rates, card delinquencies and charge-off rates or otherwise. Additional risks and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in this release can be found in TSYS’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP

Non-GAAP Measures

The schedule below provides a reconciliation of revenues and operating results on a constant currency basis to reported revenues and operating income. This non-GAAP measure presents year-to-date 2011 financial results using the previous year’s foreign currency exchange rates. On a year-to-date constant currency basis, TSYS’ total revenues grew 3.0% as compared to a reported GAAP increase of 3.9%, and operating income decreased 9.4% versus a GAAP-reported decrease of 8.4%. The schedule below also provides a reconciliation of revenues and basic EPS excluding revenues from termination fees.

The non-GAAP financial measures of constant currency and revenues and basic EPS excluding revenues from termination fees, with respect to year to date revenues and basic EPS presented by TSYS, are utilized by management to better understand and assess TSYS’ operating results and financial performance. TSYS also uses the non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and assess TSYS’ financial performance against budget, as well as to evaluate financial performance for executive and management compensation purposes.

TSYS believes that non-GAAP financial measures are important to enable investors to understand and evaluate its ongoing operating results. Accordingly, TSYS includes non-GAAP financial measures when reporting its financial results to shareholders and investors in order to provide them with an additional tool to evaluate TSYS’ ongoing business operations. TSYS believes that the non-GAAP financial measures are representative of comparative financial performance that reflects the economic substance of TSYS’ current and ongoing business operations.

Although non-GAAP financial measures are often used to measure TSYS’ operating results and assess its financial performance, they are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation.

TSYS believes that its use of non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with the same key financial performance indicators that are utilized by management to assess TSYS’ operating results, evaluate the business and make operational decisions on a prospective, going-forward basis. Hence, management provides disclosure of non-GAAP financial measures to give shareholders and potential investors an opportunity to see TSYS as viewed by management, to assess TSYS with some of the same tools that management utilizes internally and to be able to compare such information with prior periods. TSYS believes that the presentation of GAAP financial measures alone would not provide its shareholders and potential investors with the ability to appropriately analyze its ongoing operational results, and therefore expected future results. TSYS therefore believes that inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional information to help them better understand its financial statements just as management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures to better understand the business, manage budgets and allocate resources.

Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors. More information about these risks, uncertainties and factors may be found in TSYS' 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This slide presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Such non-GAAP financial measures include the following: revenues before reimbursable items; operating margin excluding reimbursable items and the impact of the acquisition of TMS; revenues measured on a constant currency basis; the impact of termination fees on total revenues, operating income, income from continuing operations, and earnings per share from continuing operations; free cash flow; and EBITDA. The most comparable GAAP measures to these measures are revenues; operating margin; revenues; revenues, operating income, income from continuing operations and earnings per share from continuing operations; cash flows from operating activities; and net income, respectively. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess the performance of TSYS' core business. TSYS believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful additional information about TSYS to assist investors in evaluating TSYS' operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The computations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this slide presentation are set forth in the Appendix to this slide presentation. (c)2011 Total System Services, Inc.(r) Proprietary.
