- Had we recognized service revenues on current quarter payments volume and other revenue components remained unchanged, net revenues would have decreased approximately 11%.
- Non-GAAPresults exclude special items, equity investment gains and losses, amortization of acquired intangible assets for acquisitions in fiscal year 2019 and subsequent periods, and non-recurringacquisition-related costs.
- Adjusted financial results are on a constant-dollar basis and exclude the impact of the non-GAAP items and operating revenues and expenses of the acquired entities that were not in the entire quarter of the previous year and the incremental interest expense or forgone interest income as a result of funding the acquisition through debt or cash, respectively. Adjusted diluted class A common stock earnings per share growth is derived from adjusted fourth quarter 2019 earnings per share results of $1.46, which excludes $370 million of the non-GAAP special item, $42 million of net equity investment gains, and $5 million related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-recurringacquisition-related costs.
Note: Refer to the Adjusted Constant-Dollar Results Footnote for further information.

Non-GAAP and Adjusted Constant-Dollar Results Footnote
We consider the non-GAAP measures useful to investors because they provide greater transparency into management´s view and assessment of the Company´s ongoing operating performance by removing items management believes are not representative of our continuing operations, as they may be non-recurring or have no cash impact, and may distort our longer-term operating trends. We believe these measures to be useful to enhance the comparability of our results from period to period and with our competitors, as well as to show ongoing results from operations distinct from items that are infrequent or not associated with the Company´s core operations. The Company does not, nor does it suggest investors should, consider such non- GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial information.
We exclude the following to arrive at our Adjusted Constant-Dollar Financial Results:
• non-GAAP impacts of (refer to the financial tables in the earnings release for further details):
• special items;
• equity investment gains and losses;
• amortization of acquired intangible assets for acquisitions in fiscal year 2019 and subsequent periods;
• non-recurringacquisition-related costs;
• impact of foreign currency to provide currency-neutral growth rates which management believes are a better reflection of the underlying performance of our business; and
• impact of acquisitions, which include operating revenues and expenses of the acquired entities that were not in the entire quarter of the previous year and the incremental interest expense or forgone interest income as a result of funding the acquisition through debt or cash, respectively, which management believes enhances the comparability of our results. These amounts will be adjusted until we lap the quarter that the entity was acquired in, at which time there will be comparable results within each reported period.

Other Financial Results and Highlights
- Visa continues to monitor the COVID-19 impact globally. Many countries had stable to positive year-over- year domestic spending growth in the fiscal fourth quarter. Overall cross-border spending remains depressed, led by travel spending, as the majority of borders remain closed. Card not present excluding travel in both domestic and cross-border volume continued to grow at elevated levels even with the gradual recovery of card present spend.
- On August 17, 2020, Visa issued fixed-rate senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $3.25 billion with maturities ranging between 7 and 30 years, and interest rates from 0.75% to 2.0%. The weighted- average interest rate is 1.53%. The net proceeds from the offering of the 2027 Notes will be used to fund eligible green projects and the net proceeds from the offering of the 2031 Notes and the 2050 Notes will be used for general corporate purposes.
- At the closing of the acquisition of Visa Europe in June 2016, Visa Inc. issued preferred stock to cover certain expenses incurred by Visa in defending and resolving multilateral interchange fee-related claims asserted in the UK and Europe. Visa is required to undertake periodic release assessments to determine if value should be released from the series B and C preferred stock. The first such release assessment occurred on June 21, 2020, the 4th anniversary of the closing of the Visa Europe acquisition. On September 24, 2020, Visa released approximately $7.3 billion from the series B and C convertible participating preferred stock. This did not affect the fully diluted share count.
- On October 27, 2020, Visa announced it signed a definitive agreement to acquire YellowPepper. We believe this acquisition will accelerate the adoption of Visa's "network of networks" strategy in Latin America and the Caribbean by significantly reducing the time-to-market and cost for issuers and processors associated with accessing innovative and interoperable solutions, regardless of who owns or operates the payment rails.

Operational Performance Data Footnote
Current quarter payments volume and other select metrics are provided in the operational performance data supplement in the earnings release to provide more recent operating data. Service revenues continue to be recognized based on payments volume in the prior quarter.
Total transactions represent payments and cash transactions as reported by Visa clients on their operating certificates. Processed transactions represent transactions involving cards and other form factors carrying the Visa, Visa Electron, Interlink, V PAY and PLUS cards processed on Visa's networks.
On occasion, reported payments volume, transaction and card information may be updated to reflect revised client submissions or other adjustments. Prior-period updates, other than the change to the payments volume definition, are not material. Figures may not recalculate exactly due to rounding. Percentage changes and totals are calculated based on unrounded numbers. Constant-dollar growth rates exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar in measuring performance.
