The following additional details are provided to aid in understanding Mastercard’s third-quarter 2019 results, versus the year-ago period:
Net revenue increased 15%, or 16% on a currency-neutral basis. This includes an approximately 1 percentage point increase due to acquisitions. The growth was driven by the impact of the following factors:
An increase in switched transactions of 20%.
An increase in cross-border volumes of 17% on a local currency basis.
A 14% increase in gross dollar volume, on a local currency basis, to $1.7 trillion.
An increase in other revenues of 33%, or 34% on a currency-neutral basis. This includes a 4 percentage point increase due to acquisitions. The remaining growth was driven primarily by the company’s Data & Services and Cyber & Intelligence solutions.
These increases were partially offset by an increase in rebates and incentives, primarily due to new and renewed agreements and increased volumes.
Total operating expenses increased 12%, or 14% on a currency-neutral basis. Excluding the impact of Third-Quarter Special Items, adjusted operating expenses increased 15%, or 16% on a currency-neutral basis. This includes a 3 percentage point increase due to acquisitions. The remaining 13 percentage points of growth was primarily related to the company’s continued investment in strategic initiatives.
Other income (expense) was unfavorable $98 million versus the year-ago period, primarily due to net unrealized losses recorded on equity investments in the current period. Excluding these losses, adjusted other income (expense) remained relatively flat. This includes other nonrecurring gains of approximately $16 million partially offset by higher interest expense. 

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2019 was 16.9%, versus 16.1% for the comparable period in 2018. The adjusted effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2019 was 16.8%, versus 19.1% for the comparable period in 2018, primarily attributable to a discrete tax benefit related to a favorable court ruling in 2019 and a more favorable geographic mix of earnings in the current period.
As of September 30, 2019, the company’s customers had issued 2.6 billion Mastercard and Maestro-branded cards.

Return of Capital to Shareholders

During the third quarter of 2019, Mastercard repurchased approximately 6.4 million shares at a cost of $1.8 billion and paid $335 million in dividends. Quarter-to-date through October 24, the company repurchased an additional 1.6 million shares at a cost of $449 million, which leaves $0.8 billion remaining under current repurchase program authorizations.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Mastercard discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating margin, adjusted other income (expense), adjusted effective income tax rate, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share (as well as related applicable growth rates versus the comparable period in the prior year). These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of gains and losses on the company’s equity investments which includes mark-to-market fair value adjustments, impairments and gains and losses upon disposition, as well as the related tax impacts. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude the impact of special items which represent litigation judgments and settlements and certain one-time items, as well as the related tax impacts. The company excluded these items because management evaluates the underlying operations and performance of the company separately from these recurring and nonrecurring items.
In addition, the company presents growth rates, including net revenue, adjusted for the impact of foreign currency, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Currency-neutral growth rates are calculated by remeasuring the prior period’s results using the current period’s exchange rates for both the translational and transactional impacts on operating results. The impact of foreign currency translation represents the effect of translating operating results where the functional currency is different from the company’s U.S. dollar reporting currency. The impact of the transactional foreign currency represents the effect of converting revenue and expenses occurring in a currency other than the functional currency. The company believes the presentation of currency-neutral growth rates provides relevant information to understanding its operating results.
The company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented facilitate an understanding of operating performance and provide a meaningful comparison of its results between periods. The company’s management uses non-GAAP financial measures to, among other things, evaluate its ongoing operations in relation to historical results, for internal planning and forecasting purposes and in the calculation of performance-based compensation.
The company includes reconciliations of the requisite non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be

considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company’s related financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Note that the figures in the preceding tables may not sum due to rounding; growth represents change from the comparable year-ago period.
Effective Q1 2018, our operational metrics reflect the impact of the Venezuela deconsolidation.

Footnote

The tables set forth the gross dollar volume (“GDV”), purchase volume, cash volume and the number of purchase transactions, cash transactions and cards on a regional and global basis for Mastercard™-branded cards. Growth rates over prior periods are provided for volume-based data.

Debit transactions on Maestro® and Cirrus®-branded cards and transactions involving brands other than Mastercard are not included in the preceding tables.

For purposes of the table: GDV represents purchase volume plus cash volume and includes the impact of balance transfers and convenience checks; “purchase volume” means the aggregate dollar amount of purchases made with Mastercard-branded cards for the relevant period; and “cash volume” means the aggregate dollar amount of cash disbursements obtained with Mastercard-branded cards for the relevant period. The number of cards includes virtual cards, which are Mastercard-branded payment accounts that do not generally have physical cards associated with them.

The Mastercard payment product is comprised of credit, charge, debit and prepaid programs, and data relating to each type of program is included in the tables. The tables include information with respect to transactions involving Mastercard-branded cards that are not switched by Mastercard and transactions for which Mastercard does not earn significant revenues.

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 Mastercard volumes are reported. These exchange rates are calculated on a quarterly basis using the average exchange rate for each quarter. Mastercard reports period-over-period rates of change in purchase volume and cash volume on the basis of local currency information, in order to eliminate the impact of changes in the value of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar in calculating such rates of change.

The data set forth in the GDV, purchase volume, purchase transactions, cash volume and cash transactions columns is provided by Mastercard customers and is subject to verification by Mastercard and partial cross-checking against information provided by Mastercard’s transaction switching systems. The data set forth in the cards columns is provided by Mastercard customers and is subject to certain limited verification by Mastercard. A portion of the data set forth in the cards columns reflects the impact of routine portfolio changes among customers and other practices that may lead to over counting of the underlying data in certain circumstances. All data is subject to revision and amendment by Mastercard or Mastercard’s customers.

Performance information for prior periods can be found in the “Investor Relations” section of the Mastercard website at www.mastercard.com/investor.

Gains and Losses on Equity Investments
1 For 2019 Mastercard updated its non-GAAP methodology to exclude the impact of gains and losses on the company’s equity investments. Q3’19 net losses of $100 million ($84 million after tax, or $0.08 per diluted share), primarily related to unrealized fair market value adjustments on marketable equity investments. Prior year periods were not restated, as the impact of the change was de minimis.
Third-Quarter Special Items
2 Q3’18 pre-tax charges of $29 million ($22 million after tax, or $0.02 per diluted share) related to litigation settlements with U.K. and Pan-European merchants. Additionally, a $50 million ($0.05 per diluted share) discrete tax benefit related to provisions for legal matters in the United States resulting in a net gain of $28 million after tax, or $0.03 per diluted share.
3 Q3’18 discrete tax benefit of $15 million ($0.01 per diluted share) related to the remeasurement of the company’s net deferred tax asset due to U.S. tax reform.
