Our business is characterized by transaction related fees, multi-year contracts, and a diverse client base, which allows us to grow alongside our clients. Our multi-year contracts allow us to achieve a high level of recurring revenues with the same clients. While the contracts typically do not specify fixed revenues to be realized thereunder, they do provide a framework for revenues to be generated based on volume of services provided during such contract's term. Our business also generally requires minimal incremental capital expenditures and working capital to support additional revenue within our existing business lines. In 2014. we generated $11.2 billion of revenue. $1.4 billion of operating profit. and had a net loss attributable to First Data of $458 million, reflecting an increase of 3%, 28% and 52% (decrease of loss), respectively, over 2013.
