Prepared remarks Upbeat (was upbeat)
Answers to analysts Typical (was typical)

Management sounded noticeably less positive answering analysts than in its prepared script — a bigger drop than in 84% of calls. Scripts are polished in advance; a drop under questioning often marks the topics analysts pressed on, so the answers deserve a closer read than the script.

“Adjusted EBITDA grew 7.4%, margins expanded 113 basis points and adjusted EPS grew 9% toward the high end of the range, reflecting stronger execution across the business.”
“Banking grew 6.1% at the high end of our outlook, driven by continued momentum in both Banking and Payments.”
“Banking grew at the high end of our range with continued strength across Banking and Payments.”
