Revenue reached $5.25 billion for the quarter, up 6.8% year-over-year, with the headline figures underpinned by a remarkable 23% organic revenue surge in the Merchant Solutions segment, which generated $2.50 billion in GAAP revenue while expanding its operating margin to 39.2%. Adjusted operating margin for the company overall widened 180 basis points to 42.9%, reflecting sustained operational discipline even as non-cash charges, including a $595.00 million equity investment impairment tied to the Wells Fargo Merchant Services joint venture, weighed on GAAP results. The quarter extended Fiserv's streak to 39 consecutive years of double-digit adjusted EPS growth, a milestone management cited as it issued 2025 guidance calling for organic revenue growth of 10% to 12% and adjusted EPS of $10.10 to $10.30, representing 15% to 17% growth.

Key Takeaways

  • Merchant Solutions organic revenue growth of 23% in Q4 and 27% for the full year
  • Financial Solutions organic revenue growth of 4% in Q4 and 6% for the full year
  • Adjusted operating margin expansion of 180 basis points in Q4 to 42.9%
  • High recurring revenue business model with strong incremental margins
  • 39th consecutive year of double-digit adjusted EPS growth
