Second-Quarter 2014 Financial Results

Purchase, NY, July 31, 2014 – MasterCard Incorporated (NYSE: MA) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2014. The company reported net income of $931 million, up 10%, or 9% adjusted for currency, and earnings per diluted share of $0.80, up 14%, in each case versus the year-ago period. Acquisitions had no impact on earnings per diluted share.

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $2.4 billion, a 13% increase versus the same period in 2013, both as-reported and adjusted for currency. Net revenue growth was driven by the impact of the following:

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

Worldwide purchase volume during the quarter was up 13% on a local currency basis versus the second quarter of 2013, to $821 billion. As of June 30, 2014, the company’s customers had issued 2 billion MasterCard and Maestro-branded cards.

“We are pleased with another quarter of solid performance, driven by healthy volume and revenue growth,” said Ajay Banga, president and CEO, MasterCard. “We continue to invest in our strategic initiatives, including acquisitions, while strengthening partnerships with banks, merchants, governments and mobile operators to grow and improve our business and theirs.”

Total operating expenses increased 15%, or 14% after adjusting for currency, to $994 million, during the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, total operating expenses increased 12%, or 11% after adjusting for currency. The increase was primarily driven by higher investments in people to support strategic initiatives.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2014 increased 13% over the year-ago period and the company delivered an operating margin of 58.2%.

MasterCard reported other expense of $10 million in the second quarter of 2014 versus other income of $5 million in the second quarter of 2013. The change was mainly driven by higher interest expense related to the company’s inaugural debt issuance in late March.

MasterCard’s effective tax rate was 32.2% in the second quarter of 2014, versus a rate of 31.2% in the comparable period in 2013. The increase was primarily due to a less favorable geographic mix of taxable earnings.

During the second quarter of 2014, MasterCard repurchased approximately 15.7 million shares of Class A common stock at a cost of approximately $1.2 billion. Quarter-to-date through July 24, the company repurchased an additional 1.4 million shares at a cost of approximately $106 million, with $728 million remaining under the current repurchase program authorization.

Year-to-Date 2014 Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, MasterCard reported net income of $1.8 billion, up 12%, or 11% adjusted for currency, compared to the first half of 2013. Earnings per diluted share was $1.53, up 16%, from the first half of 2013, both including and excluding the impact of acquisitions.

Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $4.6 billion, an increase of 14%, or 13% adjusted for currency, versus the same period in 2013. Gross dollar volume growth of 13%, transaction processing growth of 13% and cross-border volume growth of 16% 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 increased 13%, both before and after adjusting for currency, to $1.9 billion, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, total operating expenses increased 11%, or 10% after adjusting for currency. The increase was primarily due to higher personnel costs related to strategic initiatives.

Operating income increased 14% for the first half of 2014 versus the first half of 2013, delivering an operating margin of 58.6%.

MasterCard’s effective tax rate was 32.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2014, versus a rate of 30.9% in the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily due to a less favorable geographic mix of taxable earnings.

Note that the figures in the preceding tables may not sum due to rounding; growth represents change from the comparable year-ago period

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 2013 Q4, a large Maestro customer revised their number of Maestro cards to exclude inactive cards. Data for the comparable periods in 2013 and 2012 have been revised to be consistent with this approach. In 2014 Q2, a large customer revised their number of MasterCard credit cards to exclude inactive cards. Data for the comparable periods in 2013 have been revised to be consistent with this approach. MasterCard revenue is not impacted from these historical changes.

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