(a) Revenue for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 included $238.5 million and $35.2 million, respectively, of
revenue related to Travelex Global Business Payments ("TGBP"), which was acquired in November 2011 and is included
in our Business Solutions segment.
(b) Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 included $46.8 million of restructuring and related expenses,
respectively, associated with a restructuring plan designed to reduce overall headcount and migrate positions from various
facilities, primarily within the United States and Europe, to regional operating centers.
(c) During the year ended December 31, 2015, operating expenses included $35.3 million of expenses as a result of a settlement
agreement between the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and one of our subsidiaries, Paymap, Inc., which operates
solely in the United States. For further discussion of this matter, see Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data, Note 5, "Commitments and Contingencies."
(d) Interest income consists of interest earned on cash balances not required to satisfy settlement obligations.
(e) Interest expense primarily relates to our outstanding borrowings.
(f) In 2011, we recognized gains of $20.5 million and $29.4 million, in connection with the remeasurement of our former
equity interests in Finint S.r.l. and Angelo Costa S.r.l., respectively, to fair value. These equity interests were remeasured
in conjunction with our purchases of the remaining interests in these entities that we previously did not hold. Additionally,
in 2011, we recognized a $20.8 million net gain on foreign currency forward contracts entered into in order to reduce the
economic variability related to the cash amounts used to fund acquisitions of businesses with purchase prices denominated
in foreign currencies, primarily for the TGBP acquisition.
(g) In December 2011, we reached an agreement with the United States Internal Revenue Service ("IRS Agreement") resolving
substantially all of the issues related to the restructuring of our international operations in 2003. As a result of the IRS
Agreement, we recognized a tax benefit of $204.7 million related to the adjustment of reserves associated with this matter.
(h) Net cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2012 was impacted by tax payments of
$92.4 million made as a result of the IRS Agreement.
(i) Capital expenditures include capitalization of contract costs, capitalization of purchased and developed software and
purchases of property and equipment.
(j) On February 10, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized $1.2 billion of common stock repurchases through December
31, 2017, of which $711.9 million remained available as of December 31, 2015. During the years ended December 31,
2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011, we repurchased 25.1 million, 29.3 million, 25.7 million, 51.0 million, and 40.3 million
shares, respectively.
