DST SYSTEMS, INC. ANNOUNCES

FOURTH QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Board Declares 6% Increase in Quarterly Cash Dividend to $0.35 Per Share

KANSAS CITY, MO - January 26, 2017 – DST Systems, Inc. (NYSE: DST) reported consolidated net income attributable to DST of $59.9 million ($1.84 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter 2016 compared to $67.8 million ($1.94 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter 2015. Net income attributable to DST for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $444.3 million ($13.33 per diluted share) compared to $358.2 million ($9.83 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Income from continuing operations attributable to DST Systems, Inc. (“DST Earnings”), which excludes discontinued operations, was $54.6 million ($1.68 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter 2016 compared to $55.0 million ($1.57 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter 2015. DST Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $179.0 million ($5.37 per diluted share) compared to $309.7 million ($8.50 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Taking into account certain non-GAAP adjustments, adjusted DST Earnings were $53.9 million ($1.66 per diluted share) for fourth quarter 2016 compared to $48.9 million ($1.40 per diluted share) for fourth quarter 2015, and $190.9 million ($5.73 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $179.8 million ($4.93 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2015.

“We are very pleased with our fourth quarter results which demonstrate the capability and dedication of our teams around the world to operate in a challenging environment and still deliver excellent results for our clients and our shareholders. We generated positive operating results during the quarter with growth and expanded margins in both our healthcare and financial services segments,” said Steve Hooley, Chairman, CEO and President of DST. “We are encouraged by the expansion of highly-valued services we are able to provide our clients while improving overall profitability as we implement operational enhancements.”

Consolidated Financial Highlights

Fourth quarter 2016 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, after non-GAAP adjustments, was $1.66, an increase of $0.26 or 18.6% from fourth quarter 2015. Significant items impacting the quarterly results include the following:

Consolidated operating revenues (excluding out-of-pocket reimbursements) increased $11.4 million or 3.1% to $373.7 million as compared to fourth quarter 2015, primarily due to new and existing client growth within our Healthcare Services segment.

Consolidated operating income increased $11.9 million or 16.7% to $83.2 million as compared to fourth quarter 2015. The increase in operating income is primarily due to growth within our Healthcare Services segment as well as $5.1 million lower stock compensation expense as certain performance-based stock units (“PSU”) are no longer expected to vest.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased $2.9 million to $3.3 million as compared to fourth quarter 2015, primarily from lower earnings from IFDS.

Weighted average diluted shares outstanding for fourth quarter 2016 were 32.5 million, a decrease of 2.5 million shares or 7.1% from fourth quarter 2015, primarily as a result of share repurchases.

Share Repurchase and Dividend Activity

During the fourth quarter 2016, the Company repurchased approximately 675,000 shares of DST common stock for $75.0 million. Through January 25, 2017, approximately 425,000 shares of DST common stock were repurchased for approximately $47.0 million, resulting in $103.0 million remaining under the existing share repurchase plan.

On January 25, 2017, the Board of Directors of DST declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per share on its common stock, an increase of $0.02 per share or 6.0% as compared to the prior quarterly dividends paid in 2016. The dividend is payable on March 10, 2017, to shareholders of record at close of business on February 24, 2017.

Detailed Review of Financial Results

The following discussion of financial results takes into account the non-GAAP adjustments described in the section entitled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” and detailed in the attached schedule titled “Reconciliation of Reported Results to Non-GAAP Results.”

Financial Services Segment

Operating revenues for the Financial Services segment (excluding out-of-pocket reimbursements) remained relatively flat for fourth quarter 2016 at $272.7 million as compared to $272.6 million for fourth quarter 2015. The operating revenue increase of $0.1 million is primarily driven from the businesses acquired during 2016, which contributed $6.2 million of incremental operating revenues during the fourth quarter 2016, as well as increased professional services revenues associated with our wealth management platform business. These increases were largely offset by lower revenue due to the previously announced extension of certain long-term contracts with lower pricing and a decline in mutual fund registered shareowner account processing revenue due to lower registered accounts, primarily as a result of subaccounting conversions. Software license revenues of $8.4 million in fourth quarter 2016 were also $0.3 million lower as compared to fourth quarter 2015.

Financial Services segment operating income increased $4.8 million or 8.9% during fourth quarter 2016 to $58.6 million as compared to fourth quarter 2015. The increase in operating income is primarily due to cost savings resulting from previously implemented restructuring and other cost containment initiatives as well as a $4.0 million reduction of stock compensation expense as certain PSUs are no longer expected to vest, partially offset by the acceleration of depreciation on certain capitalized software in fourth quarter 2016. Operating margin for fourth quarter 2016 was 21.5% as compared to 19.7% in 2015.

Healthcare Services Segment

Healthcare Services segment operating revenues (excluding out-of-pocket reimbursements) increased $13.5 million or 13.7% during fourth quarter 2016 to $111.9 million as compared to fourth quarter 2015. The increase is primarily attributable to organic growth and expansion of the high-value services we are offering to existing clients in both the medical and pharmacy businesses, new medical claims processing clients implemented during 2016, as well as a $0.7 million increase from higher software license revenue in fourth quarter 2016 as compared to fourth quarter 2015.

Healthcare Services segment operating income increased $7.7 million or 44.3% during fourth quarter 2016 to $25.1 million, primarily due to higher revenues and margin expansion as well as a $1.1 million reduction of stock compensation expense as certain PSUs are no longer expected to vest. While costs and expenses increased from higher staffing costs associated with supporting the new and existing client growth, enhanced economies of scale were achieved as incremental volumes were processed. Additionally, costs and expenses associated with implementing new clients were lower in fourth quarter 2016, as compared to fourth quarter 2015. Operating margin for fourth quarter 2016 was 22.4% as compared to 17.7% in the fourth quarter 2015.

Other Financial Results

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates

The following table summarizes the Company’s equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates (in millions):



	Three Months Ended				Year Ended
	December 31,				December 31,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
IFDS	$	0.1	$	4.3	$	12.2	$	29.9
BFDS	2.8		1.4		8.3		5.3
Other	0.4		0.5		6.7		6.6
	$	3.3	$	6.2	$	27.2	$	41.8

DST’s equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased primarily from lower earnings at IFDS partially offset by higher BFDS earnings. The decrease in IFDS equity in earnings from fourth quarter 2015 is primarily the result of lower revenues recognized related to the ongoing client conversion activities and higher operating costs as IFDS expands its infrastructure to address increasing regulatory, compliance and security needs. The decline is also attributable in part to a realignment of certain product and service offerings within the European market resulting in exit costs. The increased earnings at BFDS is primarily related to higher revenues.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to reporting financial information on a GAAP basis, DST has disclosed non-GAAP financial information which has been reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures in the following financial schedules titled “Reconciliation of Reported Results to Non-GAAP Results.” In making these adjustments to determine the non-GAAP results, the Company takes into account the impact of items that are not necessarily ongoing in nature, that do not have a high level of predictability associated with them or that are non-operational in nature. Generally, these items include net gains on dispositions of business units, net gains (losses) associated with securities and other investments, restructuring and impairment costs and other similar items. Beginning in first quarter 2016, we have also included acquired intangible asset amortization. Management believes the exclusion of these items provides a useful basis for evaluating underlying business unit performance, but should not be considered in isolation and is not in accordance with, or a substitute for, evaluating business unit performance utilizing GAAP financial information. Management uses non-GAAP measures in its budgeting and forecasting processes and to further analyze its financial trends and “operational run-rate,” as well as making financial comparisons to prior periods presented on a similar basis. The Company believes that providing such adjusted results allows investors and other users of DST’s financial statements to better understand DST’s comparative operating performance for the periods presented.

DST’s management uses each of these non-GAAP financial measures in its own evaluation of the Company’s performance, particularly when comparing performance to past periods. DST’s non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. Although DST’s management believes non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the performance of its business, DST acknowledges that items excluded from such measures may have a material impact on the Company’s financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, management typically uses non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP results. These factors should be considered when evaluating DST’s results.
