Third-Quarter 2013 Financial Results

• Third-quarter net income of $879 million, or $7.27 per diluted share

• Third-quarter net revenue increase of 16%, to $2.2 billion

• Third-quarter gross dollar volume up 15% and purchase volume up 14%

Purchase, NY, October 31, 2013– MasterCard Incorporated (NYSE: MA) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2013. The company reported net income of$879million, up14%, and earnings per diluted share of $7.27, up18%, in each case versus the year-ago period.

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $2.2billion, a16% increase versus the same period in 2012. Adjusted for currency, net revenue increased15%. Net revenue growth was driven by the impact of the following:

• A15% increase in gross dollar volume, on a local currency basis, to over $1 trillion;

• An increase in processed transactions of16%, to10billion; and

• An increase in cross-border volumes of19%.

These factors were partially offset by an increase in rebates and incentives.

Worldwide purchase volume during the quarter grew14% on a local currency basis versus the third quarter of 2012, to $763 billion. As of September 30, 2013, the company’s customers had issued almost2 billion MasterCard and Maestro-branded cards.

“We had another good quarter with growth across all geographies,” said Ajay Banga, MasterCard president and CEO. “A key component of our strategy involves using our technology and expertise to provide secure acceptance solutions that make it simpler and more convenient for people to pay and be paid. In the quarter, we partnered with technology companies and merchants to develop standards and solutions that ensure safer and more secure transactions and we launched services like Simplify Commerce, our developer-friendly solution which allows merchants to begin accepting mobile and e-Commerce payments, regardless of brand, in a matter of minutes.”

Total operating expenses increased14%, to$970 million, during the third quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Adjusted for currency, operating expenses increased13%. The increase was primarily driven by higher investments in people and marketing to support strategic initiatives.

Operating income for the third quarter of 2013 increased17% over the year-ago period and the company delivered an operating margin of56.3%.

MasterCard reported other income of$6 million in the third quarter of 2013 versus other income of$2 million in the third quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily driven by an adjustment to interest expense related to the reversal of tax reserves.

MasterCard’s effective tax rate was29.9% in the third quarter of 2013, versus a rate of27.6% in the comparable period in 2012. The increase in the effective tax rate for the period was primarily due to higher tax benefits recognized in the third quarter of 2012.

During the third quarter of 2013, MasterCard repurchased approximately575,000shares of Class A common stock at a cost of approximately $345 million, with$912million remaining under the current repurchase program authorization.

Footnote

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

Debit transactions on Maestro^® and Cirrus^®-branded cards, Mondex^® transactions 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 and debit programs, and data relating to each type of program is included in the tables. Debit programs include MasterCard-branded debit programs where the primary means of cardholder validation at the point of sale is for cardholders either to sign a sales receipt or enter a PIN. The tables include information with respect to transactions involving MasterCard-branded cards that are not processed 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 processing systems. The data set forth in the accounts and 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 accounts and 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’s customers subsequent to the date of its release.

In 2012, certain MasterCard Debit and Credit Programs in the Europe region have changed due to a reclassification of programs. There is no impact at the All MasterCard Programs level. In addition, Purchase Transactions for certain Credit Programs in the Latin America region have been revised due to changes from several customers. MasterCard revenue is not impacted from these changes. Data for the comparable periods in 2012, 2011 and 2010 have been revised to be consistent with these approaches.

Performance information for prior periods can be found in the “Investor Relations” section of MasterCard’s website at www.mastercard.com.
