The following additional details are provided to aid in understanding Mastercard's third-quarter 2020 results, versus the year-ago period:

  • Net revenue decreased 14% on both an as reported and a currency-neutral basis, which reflects the impacts of COVID-19 and includes a 1 percentage point benefit from acquisitions. The decline was driven by the impact of the following factors:
    • Cross-bordervolume decline of 36% on a local currency basis.
    • Rebates and incentives were flat, but increased 2% on a currency-neutral basis.
    • These decreases to net revenue were partially offset by:
      • Gross dollar volume growth of 1% , on a local currency basis, to $1.6 trillion.
      • Switched transactions growth of 5%.
      • Other revenues growth of 5%, or 6% on a currency-neutral basis. This includes a 2 percentage point increase due to acquisitions. The remaining growth was driven primarily by the company's Cyber & Intelligence and Data & Services solutions.
  • Total operating expenses decreased 4%, or 5% on a currency-neutral basis. This includes 3 percentage points of growth from acquisitions. Excluding acquisitions, expenses decreased 8% primarily related to lower advertising and marketing, travel, personnel costs and professional fee spend. There were no special items in the current or comparable period.
  • Other income (expense) was unfavorable $69 million versus the year-ago period. Excluding the impact of gains and losses on equity investments, adjusted other income (expense) was unfavorable by $78 million versus the year-ago period, primarily due to increased interest expense related to debt issuances in the current year.
  • The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 was 21.0%, versus 16.9% for the comparable period in 2019, primarily due to a discrete tax benefit related to a favorable court ruling in 2019 and certain losses on equity investments that did not provide any tax benefit in the current period. The adjusted effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 was 20.0%, versus 16.8% for the comparable period in 2019, primarily due to a discrete tax benefit related to a favorable court ruling in 2019.
  • As of September 30, 2020, the company's customers had issued 2.7 billion Mastercard and Maestro- branded cards.

Return of Capital to Shareholders

During the third quarter of 2020, Mastercard repurchased approximately 6.5 million shares at a cost of $2.1 billion and paid $402 million in dividends. Quarter-to-date through October 23, the company repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares at a cost of $392 million, which leaves $4.5 billion remaining under the current repurchase program authorization.

The following additional details are provided to aid in understanding Mastercard's Year-to-Date 2020 results, versus the year-ago period:

  • Net revenue decreased 10%, or 9% on a currency-neutral basis, which reflects the impacts of COVID-19 and includes a 1 percentage point benefit from acquisitions. The decline was driven by the impact of the following factors:
    • Gross dollar volume decline of 0.4% , on a local currency basis, to $4.6 trillion.
    • Cross-bordervolume decline of 29% on a local currency basis.
    • Rebates and incentives growth of 4%, or 6% on a currency-neutral basis, primarily due to new and renewed deals, partially offset by a favorable mix of incentive-related volumes.
    • These decreases to net revenue were partially offset by:
      • Switched transactions growth of 2%.
      • Other revenues growth of 14%, or 15% on a currency-neutral basis. This includes a 4 percentage point increase due to acquisitions. The remaining growth was driven primarily by the company's Cyber & Intelligence and Data & Services solutions.

3

  • Total operating expenses decreased 1%. Excluding the impact of Year-to-Date Special Items, adjusted operating expenses decreased 1% both as adjusted and on a currency-neutral basis. This includes 4 percentage points of growth from acquisitions. Excluding acquisitions, expenses decreased 5% primarily related to lower advertising and marketing, travel and professional fee spend, partially offset by higher personnel costs to support the company's continued investment in its strategic initiatives.
  • Other income (expense) was unfavorable $422 million versus the year-ago period, primarily due to net unrealized losses recorded on equity investments in the current period versus net gains in the prior period. Excluding this activity, adjusted other income (expense) was unfavorable by $184 million versus the year-ago period, primarily due to increased interest expense related to recent debt issuances.
  • The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2020 was 17.3%, versus 17.1% for the comparable period in 2019, primarily due to discrete tax benefits related to a favorable court ruling and a reduction to the Company's transition tax liability in 2019 as well as certain losses on equity investments that did not provide any tax benefit in the current period, partially offset by a more favorable geographic mix of earnings in the current period. The adjusted effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2020 was 17.1%, versus 17.4% for the comparable period in 2019, primarily due to a more favorable geographic mix of earnings, partially offset by a discrete tax benefit related to a favorable court ruling in 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Mastercard discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating margin, adjusted other income (expense), adjusted effective income tax rate, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share (as well as related applicable growth rates versus the comparable period in the prior year). These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of gains and losses on the company's equity investments which includes mark-to-market fair value adjustments, impairments and gains and losses upon disposition, as well as the related tax impacts. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude the impact of special items, where applicable, which represent litigation judgments and settlements and certain one-time items, as well as the related tax impacts. The company excluded these items because management evaluates the underlying operations and performance of the company separately from these recurring and nonrecurring items.

In addition, the company presents growth rates adjusted for the impact of currency, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Currency-neutral growth rates are calculated by remeasuring the prior period's results using the current period's exchange rates for both the translational and transactional impacts on operating results. The impact of currency translation represents the effect of translating operating results where the functional currency is different from the company's U.S. dollar reporting currency. The impact of the transactional currency represents the effect of converting revenue and expenses occurring in a currency other than the functional currency. The company believes the presentation of currency-neutral growth rates provides relevant information to facilitate an understanding of its operating results.

The company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented facilitate an understanding of operating performance and provide a meaningful comparison of its results between periods. The company's management uses non-GAAP financial measures to, among other things, evaluate its ongoing operations in relation to historical results, for internal planning and forecasting purposes and in the calculation of performance-based compensation.

The company includes reconciliations of the requisite non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company's related financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Footnote

The tables set forth the gross dollar volume ("GDV"), purchase volume, cash volume and the number of purchase transactions, cash transactions and cards on a regional and global basis for Mastercard™-branded cards. Growth rates over prior periods are provided for volume-based data.

Debit transactions on Maestro® and Cirrus®-branded cards and transactions involving brands other than Mastercard are not included in the preceding tables.

For purposes of the table: GDV represents purchase volume plus cash volume and includes the impact of balance transfers and convenience checks; "purchase volume" means the aggregate dollar amount of purchases made with Mastercard-branded cards for the relevant period; and "cash volume" means the aggregate dollar amount of cash disbursements obtained with Mastercard-branded cards for the relevant period. The number of cards includes virtual cards, which are Mastercard-branded payment accounts that do not generally have physical cards associated with them.

The Mastercard payment product is comprised of credit, charge, debit and prepaid programs, and data relating to each type of program is included in the tables. The tables include information with respect to transactions involving Mastercard-branded cards that are not switched by Mastercard and transactions for which Mastercard does not earn significant revenues.

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 Mastercard volumes are reported. These exchange rates are calculated on a quarterly basis using the average exchange rate for each quarter. Mastercard reports period-over-period rates of change in purchase volume and cash volume on the basis of local currency information, in order to eliminate the impact of changes in the value of currencies against the U.S. dollar in calculating such rates of change.

The data set forth in the GDV, purchase volume, purchase transactions, cash volume and cash transactions columns is provided by Mastercard customers and is subject to verification by Mastercard and partial cross- checking against information provided by Mastercard's transaction switching systems. The data set forth in the cards columns is provided by Mastercard customers and is subject to certain limited verification by Mastercard. A portion of the data set forth in the cards columns reflects the impact of routine portfolio changes among customers and other practices that may lead to over counting of the underlying data in certain circumstances. All data is subject to revision and amendment by Mastercard or Mastercard's customers.

Performance information for prior periods can be found in the Investor Relations section of the Mastercard website at investor.mastercard.com.
