Backlog as a Contributor of Annual Revenue Increasing Backlog from monthly recurring revenues and project go-lives continues to grow and drive quarterly GAAP revenue, leading to predictable quarterly performance We expect backlog to contribute a similar percentage of 2011 revenue led by recurring revenue and project go-live events 18

Revenue by Industry Type Increase of $13 million or 5% in the amount of revenue generated by banking sector as sales rebounded from aftermath of financial crisis Processor sales increased on the mid-year renewal of the FDC contract Retail stores segment stayed fairly constant and we continue to see good opportunities in this area with our Retail Commerce ServerTM product family product family product family product family product family product family product family product family product family

Revenue by Region Americas Strong renewals and add-on business across the region led to stable performance EMEA EMEA's growth was led by the global accounts deals with major processors as well business with existing banking customers across the region Markets of note included UK, Italy, Oman, UAE and South Africa Asia Slight rise in revenue led by renewals as well as healthy banking sector in Australia/New Zealand

2011 Guidance 22 Revenue Revenue growth range higher than last year Revenue and margin phasing consistent with prior-year Operating Income Operating income improves from on-going growth in recurring revenue and continued expense management 15%-20% growth range Operating EBITDA Depreciation and amortization flat over prior year Non-cash compensation expense of approximately $9 million Operating EBITDA = operating income + Depreciation and Amortization + non-cash compensation expense

Key Takeaways from the First Quarter 2011 Strong Sales & Backlog Growth Sales growth in the EMEA and Americas regions led by large renewals with add- ons as well as higher capacity revenue; new sales increased 57% Backlog growth of $47 million largely led by ISD acquisition and FX translation Strong Revenue Quarter Led by strong growth in recurring revenue, up $14.0 million, or 22%, over prior- year quarter 95% of quarter's revenue, or $99 million, derived from backlog Strong Growth in Operating Income Up $8.4 million over prior-year quarter Strong Growth in Operating EBITDA Up $9.3 million over prior-year quarter 23

Non-GAAP Financial Measures ACI also includes backlog estimates which are all software license fees, maintenance fees and services specified in executed contracts, as well as revenues from assumed contract renewals to the extent that we believe recognition of the related revenue will occur within the corresponding backlog period. We have historically included assumed renewals in backlog estimates based upon automatic renewal provisions in the executed contract and our historic experience with customer renewal rates. Backlog is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. Our 60-month backlog estimate represents expected revenues from existing customers using the following key assumptions: Maintenance fees are assumed to exist for the duration of the license term for those contracts in which the committed maintenance term is less than the committed license term. License and facilities management arrangements are assumed to renew at the end of their committed term at a rate consistent with our historical experiences. Non-recurring license arrangements are assumed to renew as recurring revenue streams. Foreign currency exchange rates are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period for those contracts stated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our pricing policies and practices are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period. Estimates of future financial results are inherently unreliable. Our backlog estimates require substantial judgment and are based on a number of assumptions as described above. These assumptions may turn out to be inaccurate or wrong, including for reasons outside of management's control. 24

Non-GAAP Financial Measures For example, our customers may attempt to renegotiate or terminate their contracts for a number of reasons, including mergers, changes in their financial condition, or general changes in economic conditions in the customer's industry or geographic location, or we may experience delays in the development or delivery of products or services specified in customer contracts which may cause the actual renewal rates and amounts to differ from historical experiences. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may also impact the amount of revenue actually recognized in future periods. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contracts included in backlog estimates will actually generate the specified revenues or that the actual revenues will be generated within the corresponding 60-month period. Backlog should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, reported revenue and deferred revenue. ACI also includes Operating EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss) plus income tax expense, net interest income (expense), net other income (expense), depreciation and amortization and non-cash compensation. Operating EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. Operating EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, operating income (loss). 25
