Fiscal Second Quarter 2024 - Financial Highlights

GAAP net income in the fiscal second quarter was $4.7 billion or $2.29 per share, an increase of 10% and 12%, respectively, over prior year's results. Current year's results included special items of $424 million for the litigation provision associated with the injunctive relief class of the interchange multidistrict litigation case and other legal matters, and $57 million for lease consolidation costs. Current year's results also included $30 million of net losses from equity investments and $69 million from the amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related costs. Prior year's results included $90 million of net losses from equity investments and $68 million from the amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related costs. Excluding these items and related tax impacts, non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $5.1 billion or $2.51 per share, increases of 17% and 20%, respectively, over prior year's results (refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details). GAAP earnings per share growth was approximately 13% on a constant-dollar basis, which excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar. Non-GAAP earnings per share growth was approximately 21% on a constant-dollar basis. All references to earnings per share assume fully diluted class A share count.

Net revenue in the fiscal second quarter was $8.8 billion, an increase of 10%, driven by the year-over-year growth in payments volume, cross-border volume and processed transactions. Net revenue increased 10% on a constant-dollar basis.

Payments volume for the three months ended December 31, 2023, on which fiscal second quarter service revenue is recognized, increased 8% over the prior year on a constant-dollar basis.

Payments volume for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased 8% over the prior year on a constant-dollar basis.

Cross-border volume excluding transactions within Europe, which drives our international transaction revenue, increased 16% on a constant-dollar basis for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Total cross-border volume on a constant- dollar basis increased 16% in the quarter.

Total processed transactions, which represent transactions processed by Visa, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, were 55.5 billion, an 11% increase over the prior year.

Fiscal second quarter service revenue was $4.0 billion, an increase of 7% over the prior year, and is recognized based on payments volume in the prior quarter. All other revenue categories are recognized based on current quarter activity. Data processing revenue rose 12% over the prior year to $4.3 billion. International transaction revenue grew 9% over the prior year to $3.0 billion. Other revenue of $756 million rose 37% over the prior year. Client incentives were $3.3 billion, up 12% over the prior year.

GAAP operating expenses were $3.4 billion for the fiscal second quarter, a 29% increase over the prior year's results, primarily driven by increases in the litigation provision and general and administrative expenses. GAAP operating expenses included the special items in the current year as well as the amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related costs in the current and prior year. Excluding these operating expense items, non-GAAP operating expenses increased 11% over the prior year, primarily driven by increases in general and administrative and personnel expenses.

GAAP non-operating income was $159 million for the fiscal second quarter, including $30 million of net equity investment losses. Excluding this item, non-GAAPnon-operating income was $189 million.

GAAP effective income tax rate was 15.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Excluding the related tax impacts from the non-GAAP items noted above, the non-GAAP effective income tax rate was 16.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates had a tax benefit related to the resolution of some non U.S. tax matters.

Cash, cash equivalents and investment securities were $20.8 billion at March 31, 2024.

The weighted-average number of diluted shares of class A common stock outstanding was 2.04 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Other Notable Items

On January 16, 2024, Visa announced it completed its acquisition of Pismo, a global cloud-native issuer processing and core banking platform. With the transaction complete, the combination of Visa and Pismo will provide clients with core banking and card-issuer processing capabilities across all product types via cloud-native APIs. Pismo's platform will also enable Visa to provide support and connectivity for emerging payment schemes and RTP networks for financial institution clients.

On March 26, 2024, Visa announced it agreed to a landmark settlement with U.S. merchants, more than 90 percent of which are small businesses, lowering credit interchange rates and capping those rates into 2030. The interchange multidistrict litigation injunctive relief class settlement also provides updates to several key network rules, giving merchants more choice in how they accept digital payments. The attorneys' fees and other expenses provided for in the settlement will be paid from existing funds in the litigation escrow account and therefore will not result in a class B-1 conversion rate adjustment. The settlement is subject to approval by the court.

On April 8, 2024, Visa announced the commencement of an exchange offer for any and all outstanding shares of its class B-1 common stock for a combination of Visa's class B-2 common stock, Visa's class C common stock and, where applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares. The class B-1 exchange offer will expire at one minute after 11:59 p.m. New York City time on May 3, 2024, unless extended or earlier terminated by Visa.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Visa repurchased 9.7 million shares of class A common stock at an average cost of $280.80 per share for $2.7 billion. The Company had $23.6 billion of remaining authorized funds for share repurchases as of March 31, 2024.

On April 23, 2024, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.520 per share of class A common stock (determined in the case of all other outstanding common and preferred stock on an as-converted basis) payable on June 3, 2024, to all holders of record as of May 17, 2024.

Forward-Looking Statements

Our earnings release and related materials contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that relate to, among other things, our future operations, prospects, developments, strategies, business growth, anticipated timing and benefits of our acquisitions, financial outlook, and the completion of the class B-1 exchange offer. Forward-looking statements generally are identified by words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "may," "projects," "outlook," "could," "should," "will," "continue" and other similar expressions. All statements other than statements of historical fact could be forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made, are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict.

Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, our forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:

• impact of complex and evolving global regulations;
• increased oversight and regulation of the global payments industry and our business;
• impact of government-imposed obligations and/or restrictions on international payment systems;
• impact of laws and regulations regarding the handling of personal data and information;
• outcome of tax, litigation and governmental investigation matters, or changes in tax laws;
• increasingly intense competition in the payments industry, including competition for our clients and merchants;
• continued efforts to lower acceptance costs and challenge industry practices;
• our ability to maintain relationships with our clients, acquirers, processors, merchants, payments facilitators, ecommerce platforms, fintechs and other third parties;
• brand or reputational damage;
• impact of global economic, political, market, health and social events or conditions, including conflicts and wars;
• our aspirations to address corporate responsibility and sustainability matters and considerations;
• exposure to loss or illiquidity due to settlement guarantees;
• proliferation and continuous evolution of new technologies and business models in the payments industry;
• a disruption, failure, breach or cyber-attack of our networks or systems;
• risks, uncertainties and the failure to achieve the anticipated benefits with respect to our acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic investments;
• the conversions of our class C common stock issued in the class B-1 exchange offer or our outstanding series A, B and C preferred stock into shares of class A common stock would result in voting dilution to, and could impact the market price of, our existing class A common stock; and
• other factors described in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2023, and any subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8- K.

Except as required by law, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Visa Non-GAAP Financial Measures (unaudited)

We use non-GAAP financial measures of our performance which exclude certain items which we believe 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. Constant-dollar financial measures are calculated by using a fixed current year U.S. dollar/ foreign currency exchange rate for each local currency for the current and prior year periods, which eliminates the impact of foreign currency transactions in measuring financial performance. We consider non-GAAP measures useful to investors because they provide greater transparency into management's view and assessment of our ongoing operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon as substitutes for, or considered in isolation from, measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We exclude the following from our GAAP financial results to arrive at our non-GAAP financial results:

• Gains and losses on equity investments. Gains and losses on equity investments include periodic non-cash fair value adjustments and gains and losses upon sale of an investment. These long-term investments are strategic in nature and are primarily private company investments. Gains and losses associated with these investments are tied to the performance of the companies that we invest in and therefore do not correlate to the underlying performance of our business.
• Amortization of acquired intangible assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets such as technology, customer relationships and trade names acquired in connection with business combinations executed beginning in fiscal 2019. Amortization charges for our acquired intangible assets are non-cash and are significantly affected by the timing, frequency and size of our acquisitions, rather than our core operations. As such, we have excluded this amount to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to our past operating performance.
• Acquisition-relatedcosts. Acquisition-related costs consist primarily of one-time transaction and integration costs associated with our business combinations. These costs include professional fees, technology integration fees, restructuring activities and other direct costs related to the purchase and integration of acquired entities. These costs also include retention equity and deferred compensation when they are agreed upon as part of the purchase price of the transaction but are required to be recognized as expense post-combination. We have excluded these amounts as the expenses are recognized for a limited duration and do not reflect the underlying performance of our business.
• Litigation provision. Litigation provision includes significant accruals related to certain legal matters that are not covered by the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan or the Europe retrospective responsibility plan (uncovered legal matters) and additional accruals associated with the interchange multidistrict litigation which are covered by the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan (U.S. covered litigation). Litigation provision associated with these matters can vary significantly based on the facts and circumstances related to each matter and do not correlate to the underlying performance of our business. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, and six months ended March 31, 2023, we have excluded these amounts to facilitate a comparison to our past operating performance.
• Lease consolidation costs. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a charge within general and administrative expense associated with the consolidation of certain leased office spaces. We have excluded these amounts as they do not reflect the underlying performance of our business.
