Visa Inc. Reports Fiscal Second Quarter 2015 Net Income of $1.6 billion or $0.63 per Diluted Share

 

 

Foster City, CA, April 30, 2015 – Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) today announced financial results for the Company’s fiscal second quarter 2015. Net income for the quarter was $1.6 billion. Earnings per share was $0.63 (adjusted for the Company’s four-for-one class A common stock split on March 19, 2015), flat over the prior year period and reflective of the one-time favorable tax benefit of $201 million recognized in that period. All references to earnings per share assume fully-diluted class A share count unless otherwise noted.

Net operating revenue in the fiscal second quarter of 2015 was $3.4 billion, an increase of 8% nominally or 10% on a constant dollar basis over the prior year, driven by solid growth in service revenues, data processing and international transaction revenues. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar impacted net operating revenues by approximately 2.5 percentage points of negative growth during the quarter.

“Visa reported another solid quarter of financial results against the continued backdrop of a tepid global economy. While the negative impacts from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar and lower gasoline prices continued to exert pressure on revenue growth, our results and volume trends have remained strong,” said Charlie Scharf, Chief Executive Officer of Visa Inc. “It continues to be a very exciting time in payments and at Visa. There are trillions of dollars of cash to disintermediate and our work in digital payments will allow us to capture more than we could have contemplated a few years ago. We are very pleased to have been selected by Costco as the credit card network for its U.S. warehouse clubs and gasoline locations commencing next year and to bring this unique and very strategic opportunity to our issuers and their cardholders.”

Fiscal Second Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights:

Payments volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, for the three months ended December 31, 2014, on which fiscal second quarter service revenue is recognized, was 11% over the prior year at $1.2 trillion.

Payments volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, was 11% over the prior year at $1.2 trillion.

Cross-border volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, was 8% for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Total processed transactions, which represent transactions processed by VisaNet, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, were 17.0 billion, an 11% increase over the prior year.

Fiscal second quarter 2015 service revenues were $1.6 billion, an increase of 8% 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 9% over the prior year to $1.3 billion. International transaction revenues grew 11% over the prior year to $964 million. Other revenues, which include the Visa Europe licensing fee, were $204 million, an increase of 12% over the prior year. Client incentives, which are a contra revenue item, were $676 million and represent 16.5% of gross revenues.

Total operating expenses were $1.1 billion for the quarter, a 1% increase over the prior year, primarily related to increased personnel, general and administrative expenses and additional depreciation from our ongoing investments in technology assets and infrastructure, partially offset by the absence of marketing campaigns related to prior year events such as the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics and 2014 FIFA World Cup.

The effective tax rate was 32.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale investment securities were $7.3 billion at March 31, 2015.

The weighted-average number of diluted shares of class A common stock outstanding was 2.5 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Notable Events:

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company repurchased 16.2 million shares of class A common stock, at an average price of $64.84 per share, using $1.1 billion of cash on hand. Fiscal year to date through March 31, 2015, the Company repurchased a total of 28.6 million shares of class A common stock, at an average price of $64.86 per share, using $1.9 billion of cash on hand. The Company has $3.8 billion of remaining funds, authorized by the board of directors, available for share repurchase under the current program.

On April 22, 2015, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share of class A common stock (determined in the case of class B and class C common stock on an as-converted basis) payable on June 2, 2015, to all holders of record of the Company’s class A, B and C common stock as of May 15, 2015.

Financial Outlook:

Visa Inc. reaffirms its financial outlook for the following metrics for fiscal full-year 2015:

 

    Annual net revenue growth: Constant dollar revenue growth of low double digits, with an expectation of two percentage points of negative foreign currency impact;

 

    Client incentives as a percent of gross revenues: 17.5% to 18.5% range;

 

    Annual operating margin: Mid 60s;

 

    Tax rate: Low 30s; and

 

    Annual free cash flow greater than $6 billion.

Visa Inc. updates its financial outlook for the following metric for fiscal full-year 2015:

 

    Annual diluted class A common stock earnings per share growth: Low-end of the mid-teens range.

Fiscal full-year 2015 annual diluted earnings per share growth assumes an adjusted basis for fiscal full-year 2014.

Forward-looking statements generally are identified by words such as “estimates,” “expectation,” “outlook,” “will,” “continued” and other similar expressions. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make about our revenue, client incentives, operating margin, tax rate, earnings per share, free cash flow, and the growth of those items.

By their nature, forward-looking statements: (i) speak only as of the date they are made; (ii) are not statements of historical fact or guarantees of future performance; and (iii) are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. Therefore, actual results could differ materially and adversely from our forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including the following:

 

  the impact of laws, regulations and marketplace barriers, including:

 

    rules capping debit interchange reimbursement rates and expanding financial institutions’ and merchants’ choices among debit payments networks promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act;

 

    increased regulation in jurisdictions outside of the United States and in other product categories;

 

    increased government support of national payments networks outside the United States; and

 

    increased regulation of consumer privacy, data use and security;

 

3


  developments in litigation and government enforcement, including those affecting interchange reimbursement fees, antitrust and tax;

 

  new lawsuits, investigations or proceedings, or changes to our potential exposure in connection with pending lawsuits, investigations or proceedings;

 

  economic factors, such as:

 

    economic fragility in the Eurozone and in the United States;

 

    general economic, political and social conditions in mature and emerging markets globally;

 

    general stock market fluctuations, which may impact consumer spending;

 

    material changes in cross-border activity, foreign exchange controls and fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

 

    volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas; and

 

    material changes in our financial institution clients’ performance compared to our estimates;

 

  industry developments, such as competitive pressure, rapid technological developments and disintermediation from our payments network;

 

  system developments, such as:

 

    disruption of our transaction processing systems or the inability to process transactions efficiently;

 

    account data breaches or increased fraudulent or other illegal activities involving Visa-branded cards or payment products; and

 

    failure to maintain systems interoperability with Visa Europe;

 

  costs arising if Visa Europe were to exercise its right to require us to acquire all of its outstanding stock;

 

  the loss of organizational effectiveness or key employees;

 

  the failure to integrate acquisitions successfully or to effectively develop new products and businesses;

 

  natural disasters, terrorist attacks, military or political conflicts, and public health emergencies; and

various other factors, including those contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014, and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Operational Performance Data

 

 

Footnote

Payments volume represents the aggregate dollar amount of purchases made with cards carrying the Visa, Visa Electron 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 volume plus 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.

Visa’s CEMEA region is comprised of countries in Central Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Effective with the 3 months ended September 2013, Croatia moved from the CEMEA region to Visa Europe. 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 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.
