Fiscal Third Quarter 2019 - Financial Highlights

GAAP net income in the fiscal third quarter was $3.1 billion or $1.37 per share, increases of 33% and 36%, respectively, over prior year's results. On an adjusted basis, the Company's prior year financial results exclude a $600 million litigation provision and the related tax benefit associated with the interchange multi district litigation case. Excluding this special item, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share increased 11% and 14%, respectively, over prior year's results (refer to the accompanying financial tables for further details and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures presented). Adjusted earnings per share growth was approximately 18% on a constant-dollar basis. All references to earnings per share assume fully-diluted class A share count.

Net revenues in the fiscal third quarter were $5.8 billion, an increase of over 11%, driven by continued growth in payments volume, cross-border volume and processed transactions. Net revenues growth was approximately 13% on a constant-dollar basis. The Company adopted the new revenue accounting standard effective October 1, 2018, which positively impacted reported net revenues growth by approximately 1.5 percentage points.

Payments volume for the three months ended March 31, 2019, on which fiscal third quarter service revenues are recognized, grew 8% over the prior year on a constant-dollar basis.

Payments volume for the three months ended June 30, 2019, grew 9% over the prior year on a constant-dollar basis.

Cross-border volume growth, on a constant-dollar basis, was 7% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Excluding cross- border transactions within Europe, which have revenue yields similar to Europe's domestic volume, growth was 9% in the quarter.

Total processed transactions, which represent transactions processed by Visa, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, were 35.4 billion, a 12% increase over the prior year.

Fiscal third quarter service revenues were $2.4 billion, an increase of 10% over the prior year, and are recognized based on payments volume in the prior quarter. All other revenue categories are recognized based on current quarter activity. Data processing revenues rose 13% over the prior year to $2.7 billion. International transaction revenues grew 8% over the prior year to $2.0 billion. Other revenues of $342 million rose 49% over the prior year. Client incentives, which are a contra-revenue item, were $1.5 billion and represented 20.9% of gross revenues.

GAAP operating expenses were $1.9 billion for the fiscal third quarter, an 18% decrease over the prior year's results, including the special item. Excluding the $600 million operating expense impact of the special item, adjusted operating expense grew 10% over the prior year, primarily driven by general and administrative and marketing costs. The new revenue accounting standard increased GAAP and adjusted operating expense growth by 2.0 and 2.5 percentage points, respectively.

Non-operating expense was $42 million for the fiscal third quarter, including $9 million of net investment gains.

Effective income tax rate was 19.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Cash, cash equivalents and investment securities were $14.1 billion as of June 30, 2019.

The weighted-average number of diluted shares of class A common stock outstanding was 2.27 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

  • Client incentives as a percentage of gross revenues: 21.5% to 22.0% range
  • Annual operating expense growth: Low single-digit decrease on a GAAP basis and an approximately 10% increase adjusted for special items in fiscal 2018 (see note below). GAAP and non-GAAP growth includes an approximately 2.5 percentage point increase from the new revenue accounting standard
  • Effective tax rate: 19.5% to 20.0% range
  • Annual diluted class A common stock earnings per share growth: Low twenties on a GAAP nominal-dollar basis and mid-to- high teens on an adjusted, non-GAAPnominal-dollar basis (see note below). Both include approximately 2.0 percentage points of negative foreign currency impact

Note: Annual adjusted operating expense growth is derived from adjusted full-year 2018 operating expenses of $6.9 billion.

Our financial results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 reflected the impact of certain significant items that we believe were not indicative of our operating performance in these or future periods, as they were either non-recurring or had no cash impact. As such, we believe the presentation of adjusted financial results excluding the following items provides a clearer understanding of our operating performance for the periods presented. There were no comparable adjustments recorded for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019.

  • Litigation provision. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a litigation provision of $600 million and related tax benefits of $137 million, associated with the interchange multidistrict litigation. The tax impact is determined by applying applicable federal and state tax rates to the litigation provision. Under the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan, we recover the monetary liabilities related to the U.S. covered litigation through a reduction to the conversion rate of our class B common stock to shares of class A common stock.
  • Remeasurement of deferred tax balances. During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, in connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act's reduction of the corporate income tax rate, we remeasured our net deferred tax liabilities as of the enactment date, resulting in the recognition of a non-recurring,non-cash income tax benefit of $1.1 billion.
  • Transition tax on foreign earnings. During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, in connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act's requirement that we include certain untaxed foreign earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries in our fiscal 2018 taxable income, we recorded a one-time transition tax estimated to be approximately $1.1 billion.

Adjusted financial results are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be relied upon as substitutes for measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following table reconciles our as-reported financial measures, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to our respective non-GAAP adjusted financial measures for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018. There were no comparable adjustments recorded for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019.

Visa Inc. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Results - continued (unaudited)

Our financial outlook for fiscal full-year 2019 annual operating expense growth and annual diluted class A common stock earnings per share growth are based on adjusted non-GAAP fiscal full-year 2018 results, which are reconciled to their closest comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure below.

Our financial results during the twelve months ended September 30, 2018 reflected the impact of certain significant items that we believe were not indicative of our ongoing operating performance in these or future periods as they were either non-recurring or had no cash impact. As such, we believe the presentation of adjusted financial results excluding the following items provides a clearer understanding of our operating performance for the periods presented.

  • Charitable contribution. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we donated available-for-sale investment securities to the Visa Foundation and recognized a non-cash general and administrative expense of $195 million, before tax, and recorded $193 million of realized gain on the donation of these investments as non-operating income. Net of the related cash tax benefit of $51 million, determined by applying applicable tax rates, adjusted net income decreased by $49 million.
  • Litigation provision. During the twelve months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a litigation provision of $600 million and related tax benefits of $137 million associated with the interchange multidistrict litigation. The tax impact is determined by applying applicable federal and state tax rates to the litigation provision. Under the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan, we recover the monetary liabilities related to the U.S. covered litigation through a reduction to the conversion rate of our class B common stock to shares of class A common stock.
  • Remeasurement of deferred tax balances.

Footnote

Payments volume, including Visa Direct volume, represents the aggregate dollar amount of purchases made with cards and other form factors carrying the Visa, Visa Electron, V PAY and Interlink brands and excludes Europe co-badged volume for the relevant period, and cash volume represents the aggregate dollar amount of cash disbursements obtained with these cards for the relevant period and includes the impact of balance transfers and convenience checks, but excludes proprietary PLUS volume. Total volume represents payments and cash volume.

Visa payment products are comprised of credit and debit programs, and data relating to each program is included in the tables. Debit programs include Visa's signature based and Interlink (PIN) debit programs.

The data presented is based on transactions processed by Visa and reported by Visa's financial institution clients on their operating certificates. Estimates may be utilized if data is unavailable.

On occasion, previously presented information may be updated. Prior period updates, if any, are not material.

Visa's CEMEA region is comprised of countries in Central Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Several European Union countries in Central Europe, Israel and Turkey are not included in CEMEA. LAC is comprised of countries in Central and South America and the Caribbean. International includes Asia Pacific, Canada, CEMEA, Europe and LAC.

Information denominated in U.S. dollars is calculated by applying an established U.S. dollar/local currency exchange rate for each local currency in which Visa Inc. volumes are reported ("Nominal USD"). These exchange rates are calculated on a quarterly basis using the established exchange rate for each quarter. To eliminate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar in measuring performance, Visa Inc. also reports year-over-year growth in total volume, payments volume and cash volume on the basis of local currency information ("Constant USD"). This presentation represents Visa's historical methodology which may be subject to review and refinement.
