Certain statements contained in this press release are forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are subject to the “safe
harbor”
created by those sections. These statements can be identified by the terms
“anticipate,”
“believe,”
“continue,”
“could,”
“estimate,”
“expect,”
“intend,”
“may,”
“plan,”
“potential,”
“predict,”
“project,”

and similar expressions which are intended

forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include but are not limited
to statements regarding certain of Visa’s goals and expectations with respect to adjusted
earnings
per
share,
revenue,
adjusted
operating
margin,
and
free
cash
flow,
and
the
growth rate in those items, as well as other measures of economic performance.
By their nature, forward-looking statements: (i) speak only as of the date they are made,
(ii) are not guarantees of future performance or results and (iii) are subject to risks,
uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict or quantify. Therefore, actual

including
all
the
risks
discussed
in

class C (series II) common stock and a portion of the class C (series III) common stock stock held by Visa Europe.
Other expense (income) recorded in the periods presented as a result of changes in the Company's estimated liability under the Framework Agreement, which governs its relationship
with Visa Europe. The changes were primarily due to movement in the LIBOR rates in the periods presented. This liability terminated after the October 2008 redemptions described
above.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share
Class A Common Stock
Management believes the presentation of adjusted operating income and adjusted net income provides a clearer understanding
of
the
one-time
items
related
to
the
Company's
reorganization,
initial
public
offering
and
other
non-recurring
events.
These
measures
also
adjust
for
expenses
related
to
covered
litigation
that
will
be
funded
by
the
litigation
escrow
account.
These
items
have
an
impact
on
our
financial
results
but
are
either
non-recurring
or
have
no
operating
cash
impact.
Recognizing that we have a very complex equity structure incorporating multiple classes and series of common stock, the
Company
has
also
presented
adjusted
diluted
class
A
earnings
per
share
calculated
below
based
on
adjusted
net
income
and
the
weighted
average
number
of
diluted
class
A
shares
outstanding
in
the
periods
presented.
This
non-GAAP
financial
measure
has
been
presented
to
illustrate
our
per
share
results
reflecting
our
capital
structure
after
the
redemption
of
all
class
C
(series
II)
common
stock
and
a
portion
of
class
C
(series
III)
common
stock,
which
the
Company
redeemed
in
October
2008.
Management
believes
this
non-GAAP
presentation
provides
the
reader
with
a
clearer
understanding
of
our
per
share
results
by
excluding
these
redeemed
shares
and
allocating
adjusted
net
income
only
to
permanent
equity.
