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.

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.

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.
