Operating Cash Flow Trends

Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. · 2026-11-04 · Importance 48 · Surprise 40 · From source text

Cash provided by operating activities increased $333 million to $2.183 billion for the first nine months of 2026 from $1.850 billion in 2025, primarily due to improved operating performance. The increase was partially offset by working-capital changes, including higher receivables associated with business growth and customer payment terms and increased prepaid balances. Capital expenditures were $799 million for the nine months, up from $665 million in 2025, as FIS continued investing in software and property and equipment. Cash used for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $7.859 billion for the nine months, compared with $574 million in 2025; FIS said it expects to limit further acquisition investment to accelerate deleveraging until it returns to its target leverage ratio.
