Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the Consolidated Financial Statements

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of earnings (loss), comprehensive earnings (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 26, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Sale of Worldpay Merchant Business

As discussed in Notes 1 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed the sale of a 55% equity interest in their Worldpay Merchant Solutions business to private equity funds managed by GTCR, LLC on January 31, 2024.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Sufficiency of audit evidence over revenue

As disclosed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's revenue consists of the following types of revenue streams: i) transaction processing and services, ii) software maintenance, iii) software license, iv) professional services, and v) other recurring and non-recurring fees.

We identified the sufficiency of audit evidence over revenue as a critical audit matter. Evaluating the sufficiency of audit evidence required subjective auditor judgment because of the number of revenue streams, related revenue recognition processes, and the number of information technology (IT) applications utilized in the revenue recognition process to capture and aggregate the data.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. Based on our knowledge of the Company, we applied auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over revenue. Specifically, we:

evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls within relevant revenue recognition processes, including general IT controls and IT application controls

involved IT professionals, who assisted in the identification and testing of certain IT systems and related controls that are used by the Company in its revenue recognition process

selected certain individual contracts and read the underlying contract and other documents that were part of the contract for each selection and evaluated the consistency of the revenue recognition determinations with the Company's accounting policies and revenue recognition requirements

assessed the recorded revenue by selecting a sample of transactions and comparing the amounts recognized for consistency with the Company's accounting policies and underlying documentation, including contracts with customers and other relevant and reliable third-party data.

We evaluated the sufficiency of the audit evidence obtained by assessing the results of procedures performed over revenue.

Sufficiency of audit evidence over the reporting of discontinued operations

As discussed in Notes 1 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 31, 2024, the Company completed the previously announced sale of a 55% equity interest in its Worldpay Merchant Solutions business (the Disposal Group). During the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, management determined that the proposed sale met the criteria for the Disposal Group to be classified as held-for-sale and the associated results of operations were presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 205-20, Discontinued Operations (ASC 205-20). The Worldpay Merchant Solutions business includes the former Merchant Solutions segment in addition to an insignificant non-strategic business previously included in the Corporate and Other segment. The Company's presentation of discontinued operations excludes general corporate overhead costs which were historically allocated to the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business. The assets and liabilities of the Disposal Group were $27,220 million and $9,977 million as of December 31, 2023 and $34,754 million, and $8,737 million as of December 31, 2022, respectively. The Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, were $(7,157) million, $(17,328) million, and $97 million, respectively, for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023.

We identified the evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence over the reporting of discontinued operations as a critical audit matter. Evaluating the sufficiency of audit evidence required subjective auditor judgment due to the manual process and volume of financial information used to determine the assets and liabilities of the Disposal Group, and the related results of operations, cash flows, and disclosures.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We applied auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over the reporting of discontinued operations. Specifically, we:

evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls within the Company's discontinued operations process, including controls over the amounts recorded and disclosed

obtained and read the purchase and sale agreement for the proposed sale and compared the terms of that agreement to the identification of the assets and liabilities included in the Disposal Group

assessed the Company's identification of assets and liabilities and the related results of operations and cash flows of the Disposal Group by testing the completeness and accuracy of the Company's accounting data and schedules that segregate the Disposal Group from the continuing operations of the Company

assessed the completeness and accuracy of the presentation and disclosures related to the discontinued operations under ASC 205-20.

We evaluated the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained by assessing the results of procedures performed, including the appropriateness of the nature and extent of audit effort.
