[1] Figures in the table may not recalculate exactly due to rounding. Earnings (loss) per share is calculated based on whole numbers, not the rounded numbers presented.
[2] Net income (loss) attributable to Visa Inc. is allocated based on proportional ownership on an as-converted basis. The weighted-average numbers of shares of as-converted class B common stock used in the income (loss) allocation were 103 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, and 104 million and 110 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.
[3] Weighted-average diluted shares outstanding are calculated on an as-converted basis, and include incremental common stock equivalents, as calculated under the treasury stock method. The computation includes 2 million common stock equivalents for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, and 3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012, because their effect would have been dilutive. The computation excludes less than 1 million common stock equivalents for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 and the nine months ended June 30, 2012, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The computation also excludes 7 million outstanding stock awards for the three months ended June 30, 2012, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive as the Company had a net loss.
