Annual adjusted operating margin is expected to expand 50 basis points, excluding dispositions.”

The strategic initiatives we are undertaking this year give us confidence in our ability to quickly and fully integrate Worldpay and realize the synergy benefits we outlined, providing us greater conviction in our medium-term guidance and ability to accelerate our long-term revenue growth.”
