Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On July 29, 2015, MasterCard Incorporated (“MasterCard”) issued a press release announcing financial results for its second quarter 2015.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. All information in the press release is furnished but not filed.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
In the attached press release, MasterCard discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures:
• | Total operating expenses, operating income, net income and earnings per diluted share, as well as related applicable growth rates, presented on a pro forma basis giving effect to the exclusion of a charge related to a UK merchant litigation settlement recorded during each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015. MasterCard excluded this item because its management monitors material litigation settlements separately from ongoing operations and evaluates ongoing performance without these amounts. MasterCard’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented facilitate an understanding of MasterCard’s operating performance and meaningful comparison of its results between periods. |
• | Operating margin presented on a pro forma basis giving effect to the exclusion of a pre-tax charge related to the UK merchant litigation settlement during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015. MasterCard’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure presented facilitates an understanding of MasterCard’s operating performance and meaningful comparison of its results between periods. |
• | Effective tax rate presented on a pro forma basis giving effect to the exclusion of income tax benefits associated with the after-tax charge related to the UK merchant litigation settlement during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015. MasterCard’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure presented facilitates an understanding of MasterCard’s operating performance and meaningful comparison of its results between periods. |
• | Presentation of growth rates adjusted for currency. Due to the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuations on reported results, MasterCard’s management believes the presentation of certain growth rates adjusted for currency, calculated by re-measuring the prior period’s results using the current period’s exchange rates, provides relevant information. |
MasterCard’s management uses non-GAAP financial measures to, among other things, evaluate its ongoing operations in relation to historical results, for internal planning and forecasting purposes and in the calculation of performance-based compensation. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation S-K, the attached press release includes reconciliations of the requisite non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s related financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On July 29, 2015, MasterCard will host a conference call to discuss its second-quarter 2015 financial results. A copy of the presentation to be used during the conference call is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2. All information in the presentation is furnished but not filed.
