Visa Inc. Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2014 Net Income of $1.4 Billion or $2.17 Per Diluted Share

July 24, 2014 at 4:05 PM EDT

FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 24, 2014-- Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) today announced financial results for the Company’s fiscal third quarter 2014. Net income for the quarter was $1.4 billion, an increase of 11% over the prior year, or $2.17 per share, an increase of 15% over the prior year. All references to earnings per share assume fully-diluted class A share count unless otherwise noted.

Net operating revenue in the fiscal third quarter of 2014 was $3.2 billion, an increase of 5% nominally or 7% on a constant dollar basis over the prior year, driven by solid growth in service revenue and data processing revenues. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the prior year quarter negatively impacted net operating revenue growth by 2 percentage points.

“We are pleased to report 15% earnings per share growth in the face of a continued, subdued global economy,” said Charlie Scharf, Chief Executive Officer of Visa Inc. “As expected, revenue growth was affected by a strong U.S. dollar and tepid growth from cross-border transactions. More importantly, global payments volume and processed transactions remained healthy and strong. While some of the headwinds will likely continue in the short-term, we are confident our investments in products such as Visa Checkout, new technologies like tokenization, and new relationships with financial institutions and merchants will continue to drive double-digit revenue growth over the long-term.”

Fiscal Third Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights:

Payments volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, on which fiscal third quarter service revenue is recognized, was 12% over the prior year at $1.1 trillion.

Payments volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, was 11% over the prior year at $1.2 trillion.

Cross-border volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, was 7% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Total processed transactions, which represent transactions processed by VisaNet, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, were 16.7 billion, an 11% increase over the prior year.

Fiscal third quarter 2014 service revenues were $1.4 billion, an increase of 9% 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 11% over the prior year to $1.3 billion. International transaction revenues grew 1% over the prior year to $860 million. Other revenues, which include the Visa Europe licensing fee, were $195 million, an increase of 9% over the prior year. Client incentives, which are a contra revenue item, were $638 million and represent 16.8% of gross revenues.

Total operating expenses were $1.1 billion for the quarter, a 3% decrease over the prior year, primarily related to a reduction in personnel, marketing expense and professional fees.

The effective tax rate was 33.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale investment securities were $6.8 billion at June 30, 2014.

The weighted-average number of diluted shares of class A common stock outstanding was 628 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Notable Events:

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company repurchased 5.6 million shares of class A common stock, at an average price of $207.13 per share, using $1.2 billion of cash on hand. At June 30, 2014, the Company had $1.9 billion of remaining funds, authorized by the board of directors, available for share repurchase under the current program.

On July 23, 2014, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 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 September 3, 2014, to all holders of record of the Company’s class A, class B and class C common stock as of August 15, 2014.

Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make about our revenue, client incentives, operating margin, earnings per share, free cash flow, tax rate 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:

    • rules capping debit interchange reimbursement rates and expanding financial institutions’ and merchants’ choices among debit payment 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 payment networks outside the United States; and
    • increased regulation on consumer privacy, data use and security;
  • developments in litigation and government enforcement, including those affecting interchange reimbursement fees, antitrust and tax;

  • 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;
    • material changes in cross-border activity, foreign exchange controls and fluctuations in currency exchange rates; 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, 2013 and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Footnote

The preceding tables present regional total volume, payments volume and cash volume, and the number of payments transactions, cash transactions, accounts and cards for cards carrying the Visa, Visa Electron and Interlink brands. Card counts include PLUS proprietary cards. Nominal and constant dollar growth rates over prior years are provided for volume-based data.

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.

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.

2. Cross Border Volume

The table below represents cross border volume growth for cards carrying the Visa, Visa Electron, Interlink and PLUS brands. Cross border volume refers to payments and cash volume where the issuing country is different from the merchant country.
