Visa Inc. Posts Strong Fiscal Third Quarter 2011 Earnings Results and Authorizes New $1 Billion Share Repurchase Program

July 27, 2011 at 4:11 PM EDT

SAN FRANCISCO, July 27, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --

  • GAAP quarterly net income of $1.0 billion including a non-operating gain related to the Visa Europe put option revaluation
  • Adjusted quarterly net income of $883 million or $1.26 per diluted class A common share excluding the revaluation of the Visa Europe put option
  • The Company authorized a new $1 billion share repurchase program

Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) today announced financial results for the Company's fiscal third quarter 2011 ended June 30, 2011. GAAP net income for the quarter, inclusive of a non-cash, non-operating gain related to the Company's revaluation of its Visa Europe put option, was $1.0 billion.

On an adjusted basis, which excludes the revaluation of the Company's Visa Europe put option, net income for the quarter was $883 million, an increase of 23% over the prior year, and diluted class A common stock earnings per share were $1.26, an increase of 29% over the prior year. The weighted-average number of diluted class A common shares outstanding was approximately 704 million. The Company's adjusted quarterly net income per class A common shares outstanding is a non-GAAP financial measure that is reconciled to its most directly comparable GAAP measure in the accompanying financial tables.

GAAP net operating revenue in the fiscal third quarter of 2011 was $2.3 billion, an increase of 14% over the prior year and driven by strong double-digit growth in service revenues, data processing revenues and international transaction revenues. Currency fluctuations contributed two percentage points of growth towards quarterly net operating revenues.

"Visa delivered another quarter of strong financial and operational performance as we benefitted from growth in global payments volume, and solid cross border and processed transaction growth," said Joseph Saunders, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Visa Inc. "As we address the new regulatory landscape, we are prepared to deliver on our financial goals and remain an industry leading growth company in the global transactions space."

"Visa is a diverse global enterprise, with strong positions in both developed and emerging markets around the world, and we are committed to further diversifying our business and accelerating growth in key markets worldwide," said Saunders. "We are executing on our growth strategy, investing heavily in innovation and taking important steps to bring new products and solutions to our partners and consumers."

Fiscal Third Quarter 2011 Financial Highlights:

Payments volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2011, on which fiscal third quarter service revenue is recognized, was a positive 13% over the prior year at $862 billion.

Payments volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, was a positive 13% over the prior year at $941 billion.

Cross border volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, was a positive 14% for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Total processed transactions, which represent transactions processed by VisaNet, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, were 13 billion, a positive 11% increase over the prior year.

For the fiscal third quarter 2011, service revenues were $1.1 billion, an increase of 21% versus 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 12% over the prior year to $886 million. International transaction revenues, which are driven by cross border payments volume, grew 15% over the prior year to $662 million. Other revenues, which include the Visa Europe licensing fee, were $167 million, a 10% decrease over the prior year. Client incentives, which are a contra revenue item, were $448 million and represents 16% of gross revenues.

Total operating expenses on a GAAP basis were $977 million for the quarter, a 10% increase over the prior year.

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and available-for-sale investment securities were $6.7 billion at June 30, 2011.

Visa's effective tax rate was 38% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, excluding the revaluation of the Visa Europe put option.

Notable Events:

On June 6, 2011, the Company acquired Fundamo, a leading platform provider of mobile financial services for mobile network operators and financial institutions in developing economies, for total consideration of approximately $110 million paid with cash on hand. In addition, the Company announced a new, long-term commercial agreement with Monitise plc, a leading provider of mobile money solutions for financial institutions in more developed geographies. The combination of acquiring Fundamo and expanding the relationship with Monitise will enable Visa to deliver best-in-class mobile financial services and payments capabilities to consumers across the full spectrum of uses, geographies and mobile environments from basic services on simple handsets to more advanced services for smart phone owners.

During the quarter, the Company received regulatory approval for the sale of its 10 percent investment in Visa Vale issuer Companhia Brasileira de Solucoes e Servicos, or CBSS, to Banco do Brasil and Bradesco. This resulted in a pre-tax gain, net of transaction costs, of $85 million recognized in the investment income net line on the consolidated statements of operations. The amount of the gain net of tax was $44 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 13.7 million class A common shares, at an average price of $77.36 per share, for a total cost of $1.1 billion.

As announced on July 22, 2011, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend in the aggregate amount of $0.15 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 7, 2011, to all holders of record of the Company's class A, class B and class C common stock as of August 19, 2011.

Today, the Company announces that its Board of Directors has authorized a new $1 billion class A share repurchase program. The authorization will be in place through July 20, 2012, and is subject to further change at the discretion of the Board.

Forward Looking Statements:

This press release contains forward--looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by the terms "expect," "will," "continue" and similar references to the future. Examples of such forward--looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make about gross and net revenue, client incentive payments, expenses, operating margin, tax rate, earnings per share, capital expenditures, 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 neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees of future performance and (iii) are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. Therefore, actual results could differ materially and adversely from those forward-looking statements because of a variety of factors, including the following:

  • the impact of new laws, regulations and marketplace barriers, particularly the rules recently promulgated under the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, including:
    • rules expanding issuers' and retailers' choice among debit payment networks;
    • rules capping debit interchange rates;
    • the spread of regulation of debit payments to credit and other product categories;
    • the spread of U.S. regulations to other countries;
    • rules about consumer privacy and data use and security; and
    • designation as a systemically important payment system;
  • developments in current or future disputes and our ability to absorb their impact, including interchange; currency conversion; and tax;
  • macroeconomic factors such as:
    • global economic, political, health, environmental and other conditions;
    • cross-border activity and currency exchange rates; and
    • material changes in our clients' performance compared to our estimates;
  • industry and systemic developments, such as:
    • competitive pressure on client pricing and in the payments industry generally;
    • bank and merchant consolidation and their increased focus on payment card costs;
    • disintermediation from the payments value stream through government actions or bilateral agreements;
    • adverse changes in our relationships and reputation;
    • our clients' failure to fund settlement obligations we have guaranteed;
    • disruption of our transaction processing systems or the inability to process transactions efficiently;
    • rapid technological developments;
    • account data breaches and increased fraudulent and other illegal activity involving our cards; and
    • issues arising at Visa Europe, including failure to maintain interoperability between our systems;
  • costs arising if Visa Europe were to exercise its right to require us to acquire all of its outstanding stock;
  • loss of organizational effectiveness or key employees;
  • failure to integrate successfully CyberSource, PlaySpan, Fundamo or other acquisitions;
  • changes in accounting principles or treatment; and

the other factors discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10--K. You should not place undue reliance on such statements. Unless required to do so by law, we do not intend to update or revise any forward--looking statement, because of new information or future developments or otherwise.

(1) As previously announced, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company changed its presentation for non-Visa transactions pass-through revenues and expenses from a gross reporting to a net reporting basis. Previously, pass-through revenues were recorded in data processing and related expenses were recorded in network and processing. This change in presentation does not impact operating income or net income attributable to Visa Inc. as revenue and expense amounts completely offset. On a quarterly basis, related fiscal 2010 revenues and expenses were $35 million in Q3 and $38 million in Q4. These amounts will not recur in fiscal 2011 as a result of this change in presentation.

(2) As previously announced, as a result of certain contractual changes relating to our Visa Extras rewards platform, certain fiscal 2010 revenues recorded in other revenues, and expenses recorded in marketing, will not recur in fiscal 2011. These changes do not impact operating income or net income attributable to Visa Inc. as revenue and expense amounts completely offset. On a quarterly basis, related fiscal 2010 revenues and expenses were $27 million in Q3 and $7 million in Q4.

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 reported quarterly by Visa's members on their operating certificates and is subject to verification by Visa. On occasion, members may update previously submitted information.

Visa's CEMEA region is comprised of countries in Central Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Effective with the 3 months ended September, 2009, Pakistan and Afghanistan were moved from the AP to CEMEA region. 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. Rest of World 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.
