NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Fiserv, Inc. (the Company). These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fiserv, Inc. and all 100% owned subsidiaries. Investments in less than 50% owned affiliates in which the Company has significant influence are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Fair Value Measurements
The Company determined the fair values identified below using a market-based approach that incorporates market inputs where observable and internally developed inputs where observable market data is not readily available. For unobservable inputs, consideration is given to the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The valuation of interest rate hedge contracts includes inputs which are available through third party dealers and are related to market price risk, such as the LIBOR interest rate curve, credit risk and time value. Assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value are classified in the following categories:
Level 1 At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair values of available-for-sale investments in asset-backed securities totaled $28 million and $11 million, respectively.
Level 2 At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair values of available-for-sale investments in asset-backed securities totaled $5 million and $6 million, respectively, and liabilities for interest rate hedge contracts were $91 million and $92 million, respectively.
Level 3 At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair values of available-for-sale investments of $18 million and $23 million, respectively, were based on valuation models with unobservable pricing inputs. No realized gains or losses have been recorded in net income related to these investments. Unrealized losses of $2 million were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
The fair value of the Companys total debt was estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Companys current incremental borrowing rates or quoted prices in active markets and totaled $3.9 billion and $3.8 billion at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
3. Share-Based Compensation
The Company recognized $9 million and $29 million of share-based compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and $8 million and $28 million of expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The Companys annual grant of share-based awards generally occurs in the first quarter. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company granted 1.1 million stock options and 0.4 million restricted stock units at weighted-average estimated fair values of $17.46 and $47.81, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company granted 1.6 million stock options and 0.5 million restricted stock units at weighted-average estimated fair values of $12.65 and $33.67, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, stock options to purchase 1.1 million shares and 0.5 million shares, respectively, were exercised.

4. Dividend Receivable
In September 2010, StoneRiver, Inc. (StoneRiver), of which the Company owns 49%, declared a cash dividend. The Company recorded its share of this dividend, $61 million, as a dividend receivable and a corresponding reduction in its investment in StoneRiver as of September 30, 2010. The dividend was paid on October 1, 2010.
5. Long-Term Debt and Other Obligations
Senior Notes Offering
In September 2010, the Company issued $300 million of 3.125% senior notes due in October 2015 and $450 million of 4.625% senior notes due in October 2020. The notes pay interest semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 commencing on April 1, 2011. The interest rates applicable to these notes are subject to an increase of up to two percent in the event that the Companys credit rating is downgraded below investment grade. The indenture governing the senior notes contains covenants that, among other matters, limit: the Companys ability to consolidate or merge into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to, another person; the Companys and certain of its subsidiaries ability to create or assume liens; and the Companys and certain of its subsidiaries ability to engage in sale and leaseback transactions.
Tender Offer to Purchase Senior Notes
In September 2010, the Company commenced a cash tender offer to purchase up to $250 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.125% senior notes due in November 2012. In October 2010, the Company completed the tender offer and purchased $250 million aggregate principal amount of notes for an aggregate purchase price of $275 million. In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company will record a pre-tax charge of approximately $27 million for the premium paid and other costs associated with the closing of the tender offer in the quarter. The aggregate principal amount of notes purchased in the tender offer is included in current maturities of long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2010.
Revolving Credit Facility
In September 2010, the Company entered into a new $1.0 billion revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks and terminated its then existing $900 million revolving credit facility, which was set to expire in March 2011. Borrowings under the new revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a specified margin or the banks base rate. There are no significant commitment fees and no compensating balance requirements. The revolving credit facility contains various restrictions and covenants that require the Company, among other things, to (i) limit its consolidated indebtedness to no more than three and one-half times consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments, and (ii) maintain consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments of at least three times consolidated interest expense. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2010. The facility expires on September 29, 2014. As of September 30, 2010, the Company issued letters of credit totaling $30 million under its new facility and available borrowings were $970 million.
Interest Rate Hedge Contracts
The Company maintains interest rate swap agreements (Swaps) with total notional values of $1.2 billion at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. Additionally, in August 2010, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements (Forward-Starting Swaps) with total notional values of $100 million to hedge against changes in interest rates applicable to forecasted fixed rate borrowings. The Swaps and Forward-Starting Swaps have been designated by the Company as cash flow hedges. The Swaps effectively fix the interest rates on floating rate term loan borrowings at a weighted-average rate of approximately 4.8%, prior to financing spreads and related fees, and have expiration dates through September 2012. The Forward-Starting Swaps, which expire in September 2012, effectively fix the benchmark interest rate on forecasted five-year and ten-year borrowings at weighted-average rates of approximately 2.8% and 3.3%, respectively. The fair values of the Swaps and Forward-Starting Swaps, as discussed in Note 2, were recorded in other long-term liabilities and in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The components of other comprehensive income pertaining to interest rate hedge
5
contracts are presented in Note 7. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, interest expense recognized due to hedge ineffectiveness was not significant, and no amounts were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Based on the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at September 30, 2010, the Company estimates that it will recognize approximately $40 million in interest expense related to interest rate hedge contracts during the next twelve months.
Other Long-Term Assets and Liabilities
In a non-cash transaction in the third quarter of 2010, the Company retired a $59 million obligation owed to StoneRiver, which was included in other long-term liabilities, in exchange for the retirement of a $59 million loan receivable due from StoneRiver, which was included in other long-term assets.
6. Shares Used in Computing Net Income Per Share
Basic weighted-average outstanding shares used in calculating net income per share were 149.7 million and 153.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and were 151.2 million and 154.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Diluted weighted-average outstanding shares used in calculating net income per share were 150.9 million and 155.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and included 1.2 million and 1.3 million common stock equivalents, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, diluted weighted-average outstanding shares used in calculating net income per share were 152.4 million and 155.7 million, respectively, and included 1.2 million and 0.9 million common stock equivalents, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, stock options for 2.9 million and 2.2 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average outstanding shares because their impact was anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, stock options for 2.9 million and 5.0 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average outstanding shares because their impact was anti-dilutive.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include those that express a plan, belief, expectation, estimation, anticipation, intent, contingency, future development or similar expression, and can generally be identified as forward-looking because they include words such as believes, anticipates, expects, could, should or words of similar meaning. Statements that describe our future plans, objectives or goals are also forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this report involve significant risks and uncertainties, and a number of factors, both foreseen and unforeseen, that could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations. The factors that may affect our results include, among others: the impact on our business of the current state of the economy, including the risk of reduction in revenue resulting from decreased spending on the products and services we offer or from the elimination of existing or potential clients due to consolidation or financial failures in the financial services industry; legislative and regulatory actions in the United States, including the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and related regulations, and internationally; changes in client demand for our products or services; pricing or other actions by competitors; the impact of our Fiserv 2.0 initiatives; our ability to comply with government regulations, including privacy regulations; and other factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and in other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should consider these factors carefully in evaluating forward-looking statements, and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report.
Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is provided as a supplement to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, the changes in our financial condition and our results of operations. Our discussion is organized as follows:
| Overview. This section contains background information on our company and the services and products that we provide, our enterprise priorities, and the business challenges and trends facing our industry in order to provide context for managements discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations. |
| Results of operations. This section contains an analysis of our results of operations presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income by comparing the results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 to the comparable periods in 2009. |
| Liquidity and capital resources. This section provides an analysis of our cash flows and a discussion of our outstanding debt as of September 30, 2010. |
Overview
Company Background
We provide integrated information management and electronic commerce systems and services, including transaction processing, electronic bill payment and presentment, business process outsourcing, document distribution services, and software and systems solutions. Our solutions serve approximately 16,000 clients worldwide including banks and thrifts, credit unions, savings institutions, retailers, merchants, leasing companies, lenders, government agencies, and publicly and privately owned companies. The majority of our revenue is generated from recurring account and transaction fees under contracts with terms ranging from three to five years, and we benefit from high contract renewal rates with our existing clients. The majority of the services we provide to our clients are non-discretionary in nature and are necessary for them to operate their business.
12
Our operations are primarily in the United States and are comprised of our Payments and Industry Products (Payments) segment, Financial Institution Services (Financial) segment, and Corporate and Other segment. The Payments segment primarily provides electronic bill payment and settlement, electronic funds transfer, and debit processing products and services to meet the electronic transaction processing needs of the financial services industry. Our businesses in this segment also provide card and print personalization services, Internet banking, investment account processing services for separately managed accounts, and fraud and risk management products and services. The Financial segment provides banks, thrifts and credit unions with account processing services, item processing services, loan origination and servicing products, cash management and consulting services, and other products and services that support numerous types of financial transactions. The Corporate and Other segment primarily consists of unallocated corporate overhead expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and intercompany eliminations.
Industry Trends
Market conditions and volatility over the past two years have created a difficult operating environment for financial institutions and other businesses in the United States and internationally. As a result, financial institutions have exercised caution in their information technology spending. Despite this challenging environment, in the first nine months of 2010, our revenue was $3.1 billion, net income per share from continuing operations was $2.54, and net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $654 million which increased 1%, 15% and 2%, respectively, over the first nine months of 2009. We believe these results demonstrate the resilience of our recurring fee-based revenue model and the largely non-discretionary nature of our products and services. We believe that financial institutions are increasingly focused on technology solutions that can help them win and retain customers, generate incremental revenue and enhance their operating efficiency. We anticipate that we will benefit over the long term from the trend of financial institutions moving from in-house transaction processing solutions to outsourced solutions.
In each of 2009 and year to date in 2010, approximately 1% of all financial institutions in the United States have failed or been subject to government action, which has resulted in the loss of a small number of our clients. However, to date, such actions have not significantly impacted our revenue or results of operations. We believe that the number of government actions in 2011 will be comparable to 2010. The increase in bank failures and forced consolidations has been, to some extent, offset by a general decline in the level of acquisition activity among financial institutions. A consolidation benefits us when a newly combined institution is processed on our platform, or elects to move to one of our platforms, and negatively impacts us when a competing platform is selected. Consolidations and acquisitions also impact our financial results due to early contract termination fees in our multi-year client contracts. These fees are primarily generated when an existing client is acquired by another financial institution and can vary from period to period based on the number and size of clients that are acquired and how early in the contract term the contract is terminated. We generally do not receive contract termination fees when a financial institution is subject to a government action.
In addition, new legislation, such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, will result in numerous new regulations impacting the financial industry. It is too early to determine the impact of this complex legislation on our clients and on us.
Enterprise Priorities
We continue to implement a series of strategic initiatives that we refer to as Fiserv 2.0 to help accomplish our mission of providing integrated technology and services solutions which enable best-in-class results for our clients. These strategic initiatives include active portfolio management of our various businesses, enhancing the overall value of our existing client relationships, improving operational effectiveness, being disciplined in our allocation of capital, and differentiating through innovation in our products and services. Our three key enterprise priorities for 2010 are: (i) to deliver positive internal revenue growth and increased earnings per share results as compared to 2009; (ii) to center the Fiserv culture on growth to improve enterprise win rates and to secure a higher share of strategic solutions; and (iii) to provide innovative solutions that increase differentiation and enhance results for our clients. We believe we are making progress towards achieving our 2010 enterprise priorities.
Business Developments
Despite the challenges facing the financial industry and our clients, we continue to invest in the development of new and strategic products in categories such as payments, including ZashPaySM, our person-to-person payment service; account processing, including AcumenTM, our next generation account processing platform for large credit unions; and others that we believe will increase value to our clients and enhance the capabilities of our existing solutions. We believe our wide range of market-leading solutions along with the investments we are making in new and differentiated products will favorably position us and our clients to capitalize on the opportunities in the marketplace.

Revenue growth percentage |

Total revenue increased $33 million and $40 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively, compared to 2009. Revenue growth was 3% in the third quarter and 1% in the first nine months of 2010. Revenue from an acquisition contributed $1 million to revenue in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010.
Total revenue in our Payments segment increased $26 million, or 5%, and $36 million, or 2%, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively, compared to 2009. Revenue growth in our Payments segment during 2010 was primarily driven by our recurring revenue businesses as processing and services revenue increased $19 million, or 5%, and $44 million, or 4%, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively, compared to 2009. This growth was primarily due to new clients and increased transaction volumes from existing clients in our electronic payments businesses, including our electronic banking and electronic funds transfer businesses. During the first nine months of 2010, Payments segment revenue growth was partially offset by lower product revenue, which decreased $8 million, or 2%, due to a decline in our output solutions business primarily in the first quarter of 2010.
Total revenue in our Financial segment increased $11 million, or 2%, in the third quarter and was flat in the first nine months of 2010 compared to 2009. Revenue growth in our Financial segment during 2010 was favorably impacted by increased processing and services revenue in our bank and credit union account processing businesses and higher contract termination fee revenue and was negatively impacted by continued volume declines in our check processing business.
Total Expenses
Total expenses increased $13 million, or 2%, and decreased $10 million, or less than 1%, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively, compared to 2009. Total expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 75.5% and 76.7% in the third quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively, and were 75.8% and 77.1% for the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Cost of processing and services as a percentage of processing and services revenue decreased from 54.8% and 55.4% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, to 53.7% and 54.2% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively. These improvements were primarily driven by increased operating leverage in our recurring revenue businesses and operating efficiency initiatives across the company, which had a positive overall impact on our operating margin.
15
Although cost of product remained relatively unchanged in 2010 compared to 2009, cost of product as a percentage of product revenue increased from 75.9% and 74.2% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, to 76.6% and 77.1% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively, due primarily to a decline in higher margin project revenue in our output solutions business and lower software license revenue during 2010.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 and 2009 were consistent at approximately 18% of total revenue. During the first nine months of 2010, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $14 million, or 3%, compared to 2009 due primarily to employee severance expenses recognized in the first quarter of 2009 and a decline in merger and integration costs associated with our acquisition of CheckFree Corporation (CheckFree).

Total operating income increased $20 million, or 9%, in the third quarter of 2010 and $50 million, or 7%, in the first nine months of 2010 compared to 2009. Our operating margin was 24.4% and 23.3% in the third quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 24.2% and 22.9% in the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Operating margins in 2010 represented improvements of 110 and 130 basis points in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, compared to 2009.
Operating income in our Payments segment increased $8 million, or 5%, in the third quarter of 2010 and increased $5 million, or 1%, in the first nine months of 2010 compared to 2009. Operating margin increased 20 basis points to 29.0% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 2009 and decreased 30 basis points from 28.5% to 28.2% in the first nine months of
16
2010 compared to 2009. Operating income and operating margins during 2010 were favorably impacted by increased operating leverage in our electronic payments businesses and negatively impacted by increased expenditures associated with the development of new products and a decline in higher margin project revenue in our output solutions business, primarily during the first quarter of 2010.
Operating income in our Financial segment increased $2 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 compared to 2009. Operating margin decreased 10 basis points to 29.5% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 2009 and increased 20 basis points to 29.8% in the first nine months of 2010 compared to 2009. Operating income and operating margins during 2010 were positively impacted by revenue growth and scale efficiencies in our account processing businesses and an increase in higher margin contract termination fee revenue, offset by declines in higher margin software license revenue.
The operating loss in our Corporate and Other segment decreased $10 million and $43 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively, compared to 2009. These decreases were primarily due to $15 million of employee severance expenses recognized in the first quarter of 2009 and lower merger and integration costs associated with our acquisition of CheckFree.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense decreased $3 million, or 6%, in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 2009 and $21 million, or 13%, in the first nine months of 2010 compared to 2009 primarily due to a decrease in average outstanding borrowings during 2010 and the positive impact of interest rate hedge contracts that expired at the end of 2009.
Income Tax Provision
Our effective income tax rate was 35.8% and 33.7% in the third quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 37.3% and 36.7% in the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The effective income tax rates in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 were higher than 2009 due primarily to the positive impact of the final settlement of a CheckFree purchase accounting income tax reserve in 2009.
Discontinued Operations
Income (loss) from discontinued operations was $(2) million and $(9) million in the third quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $(7) million and $13 million in the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The results of our discontinued operations during the first nine months of 2009 included an after-tax gain of $25 million for a contingent purchase price payment we received in relation to the sale of our investment support services business.
Net Income Per Share Diluted from Continuing Operations
Net income per share-diluted from continuing operations was $0.89 and $0.79 in the third quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively, and was $2.54 and $2.21 in the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets reduced net income per share-diluted from continuing operations by $0.15 per share in the third quarter of 2010 and 2009 and by $0.45 per share and $0.43 per share in the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our primary liquidity needs are: (i) to fund normal operating expenses; (ii) to meet the interest and principal requirements of our outstanding indebtedness; and (iii) to fund capital expenditures and operating lease payments. We believe these needs will be satisfied using our cash flow generated by operations, our cash and cash equivalents of $743 million at September 30, 2010, and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $970 million at September 30, 2010.

Our net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, or operating cash flow, was $654 million in the first nine months of 2010, an increase of 2% compared with $639 million in 2009. Our current policy is to use our operating cash flow primarily to repay debt and fund share repurchases, capital expenditures, and acquisitions, rather than to pay dividends. Capital expenditures were equal to or less than 5% of our total revenue in the first nine months of 2010 and 2009.
In the fourth quarter of 2010, we received $89 million from StoneRiver, Inc., of which we own 49%, comprised of a $61 million dividend and $28 million repayment of a loan.
Share Repurchases
In the first nine months of 2010, we purchased approximately 5.2 million shares of our common stock for $254 million and, as of September 30, 2010, we had approximately 1.9 million shares remaining under our existing authorization. Shares repurchased are generally held for issuance in connection with our equity plans.

(1) | In October 2010, we purchased $250 million aggregate principal amount of our senior notes due in 2012 which reduced our long-term debt, including current maturities, to $3.46 billion at October 31, 2010. |
In September 2010, we issued $750 million of senior notes due in 2015 and 2020. We used the proceeds from this offering to repay $480 million of our senior term loan borrowings in September 2010 and, as described below, to repurchase a portion of our senior notes due in 2012 in October 2010. In addition, we used operating cash flow to repay $200 million of our senior term loan in the first and second quarters of 2010.
At September 30, 2010, our long-term debt consisted primarily of $1.2 billion under our unsecured senior term loan facility and $2.5 billion of senior notes. The unsecured senior term loan bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a specified margin or the banks base rate and matures in November 2012. The term loan facility contains various restrictions and covenants substantially similar to those contained in the revolving credit facility described below. In addition, at September 30, 2010, we had $1.25 billion of 6.125% senior notes due in November 2012 and $500 million of 6.8% senior
18
notes due in November 2017, which pay interest at the stated rate on May 20 and November 20 of each year. We also have $300 million of 3.125% senior notes due in October 2015 and $450 million of 4.625% senior notes due in October 2020, which pay interest semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 commencing on April 1, 2011. The interest rates applicable to our senior notes are subject to an increase of up to two percent in the event that our credit rating is downgraded below investment grade. The indenture governing the senior notes contains covenants that, among other matters, limit: our ability to consolidate or merge into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to, another person; our and certain of our subsidiaries ability to create or assume liens; and our and certain of our subsidiaries ability to engage in sale and leaseback transactions.
Tender Offer to Purchase Senior Notes
In September 2010, we commenced a cash tender offer to purchase up to $250 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.125% senior notes due in November 2012. In October 2010, we completed the tender offer and purchased $250 million aggregate principal amount of the notes for an aggregate purchase price of $275 million. In the fourth quarter of 2010, we will record a pre-tax charge of approximately $27 million for the premium paid and other costs associated with the closing of the tender offer in the quarter. The aggregate principal amount of notes purchased in the tender offer is included in current maturities of long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2010.
Interest Rate Hedge Contracts
We maintain interest rate swap agreements (Swaps) with total notional values of $1.2 billion at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. In August 2010, we entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements (Forward-Starting Swaps) with total notional values of $100 million to hedge against changes in interest rates applicable to forecasted fixed rate borrowings. The Swaps effectively fix the interest rates on floating rate term loan borrowings at a weighted-average rate of approximately 4.8%, prior to financing spreads and related fees, and have expiration dates through September 2012. The Forward-Starting Swaps, which expire in September 2012, effectively fix the benchmark interest rate on forecasted five-year and ten-year borrowings at weighted-average rates of approximately 2.8% and 3.3%, respectively.
Revolving Credit Facility
In September 2010, we entered into a new $1.0 billion revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks and terminated our then existing $900 million revolving credit facility, which was set to expire in March 2011. Borrowings under the new revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a specified margin or the banks base rate. There are no significant commitment fees and no compensating balance requirements. The revolving credit facility contains various restrictions and covenants that require us, among other things, to (i) limit our consolidated indebtedness to no more than three and one-half times consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments, and (ii) maintain consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments of at least three times consolidated interest expense. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2010. The facility expires on September 29, 2014. As of September 30, 2010, we issued letters of credit totaling $30 million under the new facility and available borrowings were $970 million.
