Foster City, CA, October 29, 2014 – Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) today announced financial results for the Company’s fiscal fourth quarter and full-year 2014. GAAP net income in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2014 was $1.1 billion or $1.72 per share, a decrease of 10% and 7% over the prior year, respectively. GAAP net income for the full-year 2014 was $5.4 billion or $8.62 per share, an increase of 9% and 14% over the prior year, respectively. All references to earnings per share assume fully-diluted class A share count unless otherwise noted.
On an adjusted basis, the Company’s financial results excluded the impact of a special item related to amounts covered by the retrospective responsibility plan of $450 million and related tax benefit during the fiscal fourth quarter. On an adjusted basis, net income in the fiscal fourth quarter was $1.4 billion or $2.18 per share, an increase of 14% and 17% over the prior year, respectively. On an adjusted basis, net income for the full-year 2014 was $5.7 billion or $9.07 per share, an increase of 15% and 19% over the prior year, respectively.

GAAP net operating revenue in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2014 was $3.2 billion, an increase of 9% nominally or 10% on a constant dollar basis over the prior year. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the prior year quarter negatively impacted net operating revenue growth by about 1.5 percentage points.
GAAP net operating revenue for the full-year 2014 was $12.7 billion, an increase of 8% nominally or 10% on a constant dollar basis over the prior year, driven by solid revenue growth contributions from service and data processing revenues. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the prior year negatively impacted net operating revenue growth by about 2 percentage points.
Adjusted quarterly and full-year operating expenses and net income per class A common share outstanding are non-GAAP financial measures that are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the accompanying financial tables.
“Our enviable competitive position, strong business model, and great talent helped us deliver adjusted EPS growth of 17% for the fourth quarter and 19% for the full year in the face of continued tepid economic growth and a strengthening dollar. More importantly, the underlying metrics which will drive our revenue growth over the longer term are strong and getting stronger,” said Charlie Scharf, Chief Executive Officer of Visa Inc. “Our partnerships are growing, our capabilities are improving, and the opportunity for Visa to disintermediate cash across the globe is bigger than ever. Our investments in Visa Checkout, Visa Token Services, and Visa Digital Solutions are just beginning to have an impact in the marketplace. We will continue to invest in these and other areas and remain confident in our ability to capture the growing opportunity in payments.
Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights:
Payments volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, on which fiscal fourth quarter service revenue is recognized, was 12% over the prior year at $1.2 trillion.
Payments volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, was 11% over the prior year at $1.2 trillion.
Cross-border volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, was 10% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
Total processed transactions, which represent transactions processed by VisaNet, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, were 16.9 billion, a 9% increase over the prior year.
Fiscal fourth quarter 2014 service revenues were $1.5 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 14% over the prior year to $1.3 billion. International transaction revenues grew 4% over the prior year to $938 million. Other revenues, which include the Visa Europe licensing fee, were $212 million, a 16% increase over the prior year. Client incentives, which are a contra revenue item, were $768 million and represent 19.2% of gross revenues.

The Company recorded a $450 million pre-tax litigation provision, or $283 million on an after-tax basis, in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2014 related to the interchange multidistrict litigation case.
Excluding the covered litigation provision, total adjusted operating expenses were $1.2 billion for fiscal fourth quarter 2014, flat over the prior year results, primarily related to a reduction in professional fees offset by increases in general and administrative costs and other corporate expenses to support the Company’s global business growth initiatives.
GAAP effective tax rate was 30.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.
The weighted-average number of diluted class A common shares outstanding in the fiscal fourth quarter was 623 million.
Cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale investment securities were $6.9 billion at September 30, 2014.
Fiscal Full-Year 2014 Financial Highlights:
For the fiscal full-year 2014, service revenues were $5.8 billion, an increase of 8% over the prior year. Data processing revenues rose 11% over the prior year to $5.2 billion. International transaction revenues, which are driven by cross-border volume, grew 5% over the prior year to $3.6 billion. Other revenues, which include the Visa Europe licensing fee, were $770 million, a 7% increase over the prior year. Client incentives, which are a contra revenue item, were $2.6 billion and represent 16.9% of gross revenues.
Total processed transactions, which represent transactions processed by VisaNet for the twelve months ended September 30, 2014, totaled 64.9 billion, an 11% increase over the prior year.
Excluding the aforementioned litigation provision, total adjusted operating expenses were $4.6 billion for the twelve months ended September 30, 2014, flat over the prior year adjusted results, primarily related to a reduction in professional fees and personnel, offset by continued investments in infrastructure, technology and network processing to support the Company’s global growth initiatives.

GAAP effective tax rate was 29.6% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2014.
The weighted-average number of diluted class A common shares outstanding for the full year was 631 million.
Notable Events:
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, total as-converted class A common stock was reduced by 5.7 million shares, which was funded from $1.2 billion of our operating cash on hand. Of the $1.2 billion, $756 million was used to repurchase 3.6 million shares of class A common stock in the open market, at an average price of $211.19. In addition, we deposited $450 million from our operating cash into the litigation escrow account previously established under the retrospective responsibility plan. This deposit has the same economic effect on earnings per share as repurchasing the Company’s class A common stock as it reduces the as-converted class B common stock share count.
During the twelve months ended September 30, 2014, total as-converted class A common stock was reduced by 21.8 million shares, at an average price of $209.15 per share, using $4.6 billion of cash on hand. Of the $4.6 billion, $4.1 billion was used to repurchase shares of class A common stock in the open market at an average price of $208.50. At September 30, 2014, the Company had $682 million of remaining funds, authorized by the board of directors, available for share repurchase under the current program.
As announced on October 22, 2014, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend in the aggregate amount of $0.48 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 December 2, 2014, to all holders of record of the Company’s class A, class B and class C common stock as of November 14, 2014.
The Board of Directors has authorized a new $5.0 billion class A common stock share repurchase program. The shares may be repurchased from time to time as market conditions warrant, and authorization for the program is subject to further change at the discretion of the Board.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Results
US$ in millions, except margin ratio and per share data
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, we recorded a provision of $450 million and related tax benefits associated with litigation covered by the retrospective responsibility plan (“litigation provision”). We believe the presentation of our adjusted financial results, excluding the litigation provision, provides a clearer understanding of our operating performance for the periods presented.

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.
