Visa Inc. Reports Strong Fiscal Third Quarter 2017 Results
Performance Driven by Continued Strength in Payments Volume, Cross-Border Volume and Processed Transactions
San Francisco, CA, July 20, 2017 - Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) today announced financial results for the Company’s fiscal third quarter 2017, ended June 30, 2017

Fiscal Third Quarter 2017 Key Highlights:
GAAP net income of $2.1 billion or $0.86 per share
Net operating revenue of $4.6 billion, an increase of 26%, driven by inclusion of Europe and continued growth in payments volume, cross-border volume and processed transactions
Payments volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, was 38% over the prior year at $1.9 trillion
Cross-border volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, was 147% or 11% inclusive of Europe in prior year results
Total Visa processed transactions were 28.5 billion, a 44% increase over the prior year, or 13% growth inclusive of Europe in prior year results
Returned approximately $2.1 billion of capital to shareholders in the form of share repurchases and dividends

“I’m pleased to report Visa’s fiscal third quarter results which reflect strong growth in payments volume, cross-border volume, and processed transactions, which were powered by economic tailwinds in the U.S. and globally,” said Alfred F. Kelly, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Visa Inc. “Our results and growth are a reflection of our strategy to pursue the conversion of cash and checks to electronic payments in partnership with our clients around the world.”

Fiscal Third Quarter 2017 Financial Highlights:
GAAP net income in the fiscal third quarter was $2.1 billion or $0.86 per share. Prior year's results included several special items related to the acquisition of Visa Europe. Excluding these special items, net income and earnings per share both increased 26% over the prior year. Exchange rate shifts versus the prior year negatively impacted earnings per share growth by approximately 2 percentage points. All references to earnings per share assume fully-diluted class A share count, inclusive of series B and C convertible participating preferred stock, unless otherwise noted.

Net operating revenue in the fiscal third quarter was $4.6 billion, an increase of 26%, driven by the inclusion of Europe and continued growth in payments volume, cross-border volume and processed transactions. Exchange rate shifts versus the prior year negatively impacted reported net operating revenue growth by approximately 1.5 percentage points.
Payments volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2017, on which fiscal third quarter service revenue is recognized, was 38% over the prior year at $1.7 trillion. Effective with the three months ended December 31, 2016, Europe co-badge volume is no longer included in reported volume.
Payments volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2017, was 38% over the prior year at $1.9 trillion.
Cross-border volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, was 147% for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Cross-border volume growth, on a constant dollar basis and inclusive of Europe in prior year results, was 11%.
Total processed transactions, which represent transactions processed by Visa, for the three months ended June 30, 2017, were 28.5 billion, a 44% increase over the prior year. Total processed transactions growth was 13%, inclusive of Europe in prior year results.
Fiscal third quarter service revenues were $1.9 billion, an increase of 19% 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 29% over the prior year to $2.0 billion. International transaction revenues grew 45% over the prior year to $1.6 billion. Other revenues were $209 million, flat over the prior year. Client incentives, which are a contra revenue item, were $1.1 billion and represent 20.1% of gross revenues.
GAAP operating expenses were $1.5 billion for the fiscal third quarter, a 52% decrease over the prior year's results which included special items related to the acquisition of Visa Europe. Excluding these special items, operating expenses grew 31% over the prior year, primarily driven from the inclusion of Visa Europe's operating expenses following the acquisition.
GAAP effective income tax rate was 29.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
Cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale investment securities were $12.2 billion at June 30, 2017.
The weighted-average number of diluted shares of class A common stock outstanding was 2.39 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Financial Outlook for Fiscal Full-Year 2017:

Visa Inc. reaffirms its financial outlook for the following GAAP metrics for fiscal full-year 2017:
Annual operating margin: Mid 60s; and
Effective tax rate: Mid 40s on a GAAP basis and approximately 30% on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis.

Visa Inc. updates its financial outlook for the following GAAP metrics for fiscal full-year 2017:
Annual net revenue growth: Approximately 20% on a nominal dollar basis, including approximately 2.0 ppts of negative foreign currency impact;
Client incentives as a percent of gross revenues: 20.0% to 20.5% range; and
Annual diluted class A common stock earnings per share growth: Low double-digits on a GAAP nominal dollar basis and approximately 20% on an adjusted, non-GAAP nominal dollar basis (see note below), both including approximately 2.5 ppts of negative foreign currency impact.

Note: The financial outlook for fiscal full-year 2017 includes Visa Europe integration expenses of approximately $60 million for the full-year. Differences in our financial outlook for fiscal full-year 2017 GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures relate to the one-time, non-recurring items that are included in the accompanying reconciliation. Annual adjusted diluted class A common stock earnings per share growth is derived from adjusted full-year 2016 earnings per share results of $2.84. Refer to the accompanying financial tables for further details and a reconciliation of the adjusted fiscal full-year 2016 results.

VISA INC.
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL RESULTS
FISCAL THIRD QUARTER 2017 and 2016
(UNAUDITED)
Our financial results for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 reflect the impact of certain significant items that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operating performance in these or future periods as they are either non-recurring or have 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 months ended June 30, 2017.
Elimination of deferred tax balances. During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, in connection with our legal entity reorganization, we eliminated deferred tax balances originally recognized upon the acquisition of Visa Europe, resulting in the recognition of a non-recurring, non-cash income tax provision of $1.5 billion.
Charitable contribution. During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, associated with our legal entity reorganization, we recognized a non-recurring, non-cash general and administrative expense of $192 million, before tax, related to the charitable donation of Visa Inc. shares that were acquired as part of the Visa Europe acquisition and held as treasury stock. Net of the related cash tax benefit of $71 million, determined by applying applicable tax rates, adjusted net income increased by $121 million.
Acquisition-related costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we incurred $152 million of non-recurring acquisition costs in operating expense as a result of the Visa Europe transaction. This amount is comprised of $60 million of transaction expenses recorded in professional fees, and $92 million of U.K. stamp duty recorded in general and administrative expenses. Net of related tax benefit of $56 million, determined by applying applicable federal and state tax rates, the adjustment to net income was an increase of $96 million.
Visa Europe Framework Agreement loss. Upon consummation of the transaction, on June 21, 2016, we recorded a non-recurring loss of $1.9 billion, before tax, in operating expense resulting from the effective settlement of the Framework Agreement between us and Visa Europe. Net of related tax benefit of $693 million, determined by applying applicable federal and state tax rates, the adjustment to net income was an increase of $1.2 billion.
Net (losses) gains on currency forward contracts. During the second and third quarter of fiscal 2016, we entered into currency forward contracts to mitigate a portion of our foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with the upfront cash consideration paid in the Visa Europe acquisition. As a result, we recorded non-recurring, net losses of $42 million and net gains of $74 million, before tax, in other non-operating (expense) income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Net of related tax benefit of $8 million and tax expense of $27 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, determined by applying applicable federal and state tax rates, the adjustment to net income was an increase of $34 million and a decrease of $47 million, respectively.
Foreign exchange gain on euro deposits. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded a non-recurring foreign exchange gain of $145 million, before tax, in other non-operating income resulting from holding euro-denominated bank balances for a short period in advance of the Closing. Net of related tax expense of $54 million, determined by applying applicable federal and state tax rates, the impact to net income was a decrease of $91 million.
Revaluation of Visa Europe put option. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we recorded a decrease of $255 million in the fair value of the Visa Europe put option, resulting in the recognition of non-cash income in other non-operating income. This amount is not subject to income tax and therefore has no impact on our reported income tax provision.

VISA INC.
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL RESULTS
FISCAL FULL-YEAR 2016
(UNAUDITED)

Our fiscal full-year 2017 annual diluted class A common stock earnings per share growth outlook is based on adjusted non-GAAP fiscal full-year 2016 results, which are reconciled to their closest comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure below.
Our financial results during the twelve months ended September 30, 2016 reflect the impact of certain significant items that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operating performance, as they are either non-recurring or have 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 period presented.
Severance cost. In the fiscal fourth quarter, we recorded a $110 million charge for severance costs related to personnel reductions including planned reductions at Visa Europe. Although we routinely record severance expenses, these charges are larger than any past quarterly accrual due to the acquisition and integration of Visa Europe. Net of related tax benefit of $38 million, determined by applying applicable tax rates, the adjustment to net income was an increase of $72 million.
Remeasurement of deferred tax liability. In September 2016, we recorded a non-cash, non-recurring $88 million gain upon the remeasurement of a deferred tax liability, recorded upon the acquisition of Visa Europe, to reflect a tax rate change in the United Kingdom.
Acquisition-related costs. During the twelve months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred $152 million of non-recurring acquisition costs in operating expense as a result of the Visa Europe transaction. This amount is comprised of $60 million of transaction expenses recorded in professional fees, and $92 million of U.K. stamp duty recorded in general and administrative expenses. Net of related tax benefit of $56 million, determined by applying applicable federal and state tax rates, the adjustment to net income was an increase of $96 million.
Visa Europe Framework Agreement loss. Upon consummation of the transaction, on June 21, 2016, we recorded a non-recurring loss of $1.9 billion, before tax, in operating expense resulting from the effective settlement of the Framework Agreement between Visa and Visa Europe. Net of related tax benefit of $693 million, determined by applying applicable federal and state tax rates, the adjustment to net income was an increase of $1.2 billion.
Net gains on currency forward contracts. During the twelve months ended September 30, 2016, we entered into currency forward contracts to mitigate a portion of the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with the upfront cash consideration paid in the Visa Europe acquisition. As a result, we recorded non-recurring, net gains of $74 million, before tax, in other non-operating income. Net of related tax expense of $27 million, determined by applying applicable federal and state tax rates, the adjustment to net income was a decrease of $47 million.
Foreign exchange gain on euro deposits. During the twelve months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded a non-recurring foreign exchange gain of $145 million, before tax, in other non-operating income as a result of holding euro-denominated bank balances for a short period in advance of the closing date of the Visa Europe transaction. Net of related tax expense of $54 million, determined by applying applicable federal and state tax rates, the impact to net income was a decrease of $91 million.
Revaluation of Visa Europe put option. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we recorded a decrease of $255 million in the fair value of the Visa Europe put option, resulting in the recognition of non-cash income in other non-operating income. This amount is not subject to income tax and therefore has no impact on the reported income tax provision.

Europe volumes were first included in Visa Inc.’s volumes starting in the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Europe Normalized growth includes Europe volumes for the prior year period before Visa Inc. acquired Visa Europe.

Note:
Effective June 9, 2016, Article 8 of the EU Interchange Fee Regulation states that payment card networks cannot impose reporting requirements or the obligation to pay fees on payment transactions where their payment brand is present but their network is not used. Prior to this regulation, Visa collected a small service fee in a few countries, particularly France, on domestic payment transactions where Visa cards are co-badged with a domestic network. Clients in Europe continued to report co-badged volume through the quarter ended September 2016; however, effective with the quarter ended December 2016 Visa co-badge volume is no longer included in reported volume.

Footnote
Payments volume represents the aggregate dollar amount of purchases made with cards carrying the Visa, Visa Electron, V PAY and Interlink brands 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 results reported quarterly 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.
Europe is reported and included in Visa Inc. results effective with the 3 months ended September 2016. 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.
