• Second-quarter net income of $983 million, including a special item, or $0.89 per diluted share
  • Second-quarter net income of $1.1 billion, excluding a special item, or $0.96 per diluted share
  • Second-quarter net revenue increase of 13%, to $2.7 billion
  • Second-quarter gross dollar volume up 11% and purchase volume up 9%

MasterCard Incorporated (NYSE:MA) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2016. The company reported net income of $983 million, an increase of 7% or 8% on a currency-neutral basis, and earnings per diluted share of $0.89, up 10% or 11% on a currency-neutral basis versus the year-ago period. Excluding special items related to separate U.K. merchant litigations taken in both this quarter and the previous year’s quarter, the company reported net income of $1.1 billion, an increase of 10% or 11% on a currency-neutral basis, and earnings per diluted share of $0.96, up 13% or 14% on a currency-neutral basis versus the year-ago period.

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2016 was $2.7 billion, a 13% increase versus the same period in 2015. On a currency-neutral basis, net revenue increased 14%. Net revenue growth was driven by the impact of the following:

  • An increase in processed transactions of 14%, to 13.7 billion;
  • An 11% increase in gross dollar volume, on a local currency basis, to $1.2 trillion; and
  • An increase in cross-border volumes of 10%.

These factors were partially offset by an increase in rebates and incentives, primarily due to increased volumes and new and renewed agreements.

Worldwide purchase volume during the quarter was up 9% on a local currency basis versus the second quarter of 2015, to $897 billion. As of June 30, 2016, the company’s customers had issued 2.3 billion MasterCard and Maestro-branded cards.

“We carried solid momentum into the second quarter, delivering 14 percent revenue growth for the first half of the year, after adjusting for currency,” said Ajay Banga, president and CEO, MasterCard. “With last week’s VocaLink announcement, we will expand our capabilities beyond core card-based solutions into a broader set of transactions and payments. The collective technology and experience will provide consumers, businesses and governments more choice and value in how they pay and are paid.”

Total operating expenses increased 15%, or 17% on a currency-neutral basis, to $1.3 billion during the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. Excluding special items, total operating expenses were $1.2 billion, an increase of 12%, or 13% on a currency-neutral basis, compared to the year-ago period. The increase was primarily due to continued investments in strategic initiatives, as well as higher legal costs.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2016 increased 10%, or 11% on a currency-neutral basis, versus the year-ago period. Excluding special items, operating income increased 13%, or 15% on a currency-neutral basis, versus the year-ago period. The company delivered an operating margin of 51.2% or 55.2% excluding special items.

MasterCard reported other expense of $15 million in the second quarter of 2016, versus $10 million in the second quarter of 2015. The change was mainly driven by higher interest expense related to the company’s Euro bond debt issuance in November 2015.

MasterCard’s effective tax rate was 28.0% in the second quarter of 2016, versus a rate of 25.7% in the comparable period in 2015. Excluding special items, the effective tax rate was 27.9% in the second quarter of 2016, versus a rate of 25.8% in the comparable period in 2015. The increase was primarily due to the recognition of a discrete U.S. foreign tax credit benefit which occurred in the second quarter of 2015, as well as a larger 2015 repatriation benefit.

During the second quarter of 2016, MasterCard repurchased approximately 5 million shares of Class A common stock at a cost of $462 million. Quarter-to-date through July 21, the company did not repurchase any additional shares, which leaves $2.7 billion remaining under the current repurchase program authorization.

Year-to-Date 2016 Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, MasterCard reported net income of $1.9 billion, essentially flat, or an increase of 2% on a currency-neutral basis, and earnings per diluted share of $1.75, up 4% or 6% on a currency-neutral basis versus the year-ago period. Excluding special items, net income was $2.0 billion, up 2% or 4% on a currency-neutral basis, and earnings per diluted share was $1.82, up 5%, or 8% on a currency-neutral basis, compared to the same period in 2015.

Net revenue for the first half of 2016 was $5.1 billion, an increase of 11%, or 14% on a currency-neutral basis, versus the same period in 2015. Transaction processing growth of 14%, gross dollar volume growth of 12% and cross-border volume growth of 11% contributed to the net revenue growth in the year-to-date period. These factors were partially offset by an increase in rebates and incentives.

Total operating expenses were $2.4 billion, an increase of 20%, or 22% on a currency-neutral basis for the first half of 2016, compared to the same period in 2015. Excluding special items, total operating expenses were $2.3 billion, an increase of 18%, or 20% on a currency-neutral basis, compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily due to continued investments to support strategic initiatives, as well as higher legal costs. In addition, the impact from foreign currency hedging activity and balance sheet remeasurement had a negative impact of approximately 6 percentage points on operating expense growth, compared to the same period in 2015.

Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $2.7 billion, an increase of 5%, or 8% on a currency-neutral basis, versus the same period in 2015. Excluding special items, operating income was $2.8 billion, an increase of 6%, or 9% on a currency-neutral basis, compared to the same period in 2015. The company delivered an operating margin of 53.1% or 55.2% excluding special items.

MasterCard’s effective tax rate was 28.1% for six months ended June 30, 2016, versus a rate of 24.8% in the same period in 2015. Excluding special items, the effective tax rate was 28.1% in the first half of 2016, versus a rate of 24.9% in the comparable period in 2015. The increase was primarily due to the recognition of a discrete U.S. foreign tax credit benefit which occurred in 2015, as well as a larger 2015 repatriation benefit.

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 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 2015 Q3, several customers purged inactive MasterCard cards and accounts. Data for the comparable periods has been revised to be consistent with this approach.

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