The following information is provided to aid in understanding Mastercard’s fourth quarter 2023 results, versus the year ago period.
•Net revenue increased 13%, or 11% on a currency-neutral basis. The increase was attributable to growth in our payment network and our value-added services and solutions.
▪Payment network net revenue increased 9%, or 7% on a currency-neutral basis. Primary drivers of the increase were as follows:
•Gross dollar volume growth of 10%, on a local currency basis, to $2.4 trillion.
•Cross-border volume growth of 18% on a local currency basis.
•Switched transactions growth of 12%.
This increase in payment network net revenue includes growth in payment network rebates and incentives provided to customers. Payment network rebates and incentives increased 19%, or 18% on a currency-neutral basis, primarily due to an increase in our key drivers as well as new and renewed deals.
▪Value-added services and solutions net revenue increased 19%, or 17% on a currency-neutral basis. The increase was driven primarily by the continued growth of our cyber and intelligence solutions, driven by our underlying key drivers, the continued scaling of our fraud and security solutions and our identity and authentication solutions, as well as continued growth in our marketing, data analytics, consulting, and loyalty solutions.
•Total operating expenses increased 21%. Excluding the impact of Fourth Quarter Special Items, adjusted operating expenses increased 10%, or 9% on a currency-neutral basis primarily due to higher personnel costs.
•Other income (expense) was favorable $44 million versus the year ago period, primarily due to an increase in investment income and net gains in the current year versus net losses in the prior year related to realized and unrealized fair market value adjustments on marketable and nonmarketable equity securities, partially offset by increased interest expense related to our debt portfolio and losses on sales of certain assets. Adjusted other income (expense) was unfavorable $1 million versus the prior year, primarily due to increased interest expense related to our debt portfolio and losses on sales of certain assets, partially offset by an increase in investment income.
•The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 16.0%, versus 18.3% for the comparable period in 2022. The adjusted effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 17.0%, versus 18.2% for the comparable period in 2022. Both the as reported and as adjusted effective tax rates were lower in 2023 primarily due to a tax benefit recognized in the current period associated with certain tax capital losses.
•As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s customers had issued 3.3 billion Mastercard and Maestro-branded cards.

The following information is provided to aid in understanding Mastercard’s full year 2023 results, versus the year ago period. As a reminder, we suspended our business operations in Russia in March 2022.
•Net revenue increased 13%, as reported and on a currency-neutral basis. Excluding the impact of Full Year Special Items, adjusted net revenue increased 13%, as reported and on a currency-neutral basis. The increase was attributable to growth in our payment network and our value-added services and solutions.
▪Payment network net revenue increased 10%, as reported and on a currency-neutral basis. Primary drivers of the increase were as follows:
•Gross dollar volume growth of 12%, on a local currency basis, to $9.0 trillion.
•Cross-border volume growth of 24% on a local currency basis.
•Switched transactions growth of 14%.
This increase in payment network net revenue includes growth in payment network rebates and incentives provided to customers. Payment network rebates and incentives increased 22%, as reported and on a currency-neutral basis, primarily due to an increase in our key drivers as well as new and renewed deals.
▪Value-added services and solutions net revenue increased 18%, or 17% on a currency-neutral basis. The increase was driven primarily by the continued growth of our cyber and intelligence solutions, driven by growth of our underlying key drivers and the scaling of our fraud and security solutions, as well as growth of our consulting, marketing, and loyalty solutions.
•Total operating expenses increased 11%. Excluding the impact of Full Year Special Items, adjusted operating expenses increased 10%, or 11% on a currency-neutral basis. This includes a 1 percentage point increase from acquisitions. The remaining increase was primarily due to higher personnel costs.
•Other income (expense) was favorable $163 million, primarily due to an increase in investment income and lower mark-to-market losses on our equity investments in 2023, partially offset by increased interest expense related to our debt portfolio. Adjusted other income (expense) was favorable $79 million versus the prior year, primarily due to an increase in investment income, partially offset by increased interest expense related to our debt portfolio.
•The effective tax rate for 2023 was 17.9%, versus 15.4% for the comparable period in 2022. The adjusted effective tax rate for 2023 was 18.5%, versus 15.7% for the comparable period in 2022. Both the as reported and as adjusted effective tax rates were higher in 2023 primarily due to the release of a $333 million valuation allowance in 2022 and the establishment of a $327 million valuation allowance in 2023, partially offset by the ability to now claim more U.S. foreign tax credits generated in 2022 and 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
Mastercard discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted net revenue, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating margin, adjusted other income (expense), adjusted effective income tax rate, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share (as well as related applicable growth rates versus the comparable period in the prior year). These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of gains and losses on the Company’s equity investments which includes mark-to-market fair value adjustments, impairments and gains and losses upon disposition, as well as the related tax impacts. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude the impact of special items, where applicable, which represent litigation judgments and settlements and certain one-time items, as well as the related tax impacts. The Company excludes these Special Items because management evaluates the underlying operations and performance of the Company separately from these recurring and nonrecurring items.
In addition, the Company presents growth rates adjusted for the impact of currency, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Currency-neutral growth rates are calculated by remeasuring the prior period’s results using the current period’s exchange rates for both the translational and transactional impacts on operating results, as well as removing the related impact of the Company’s foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments. The impact of currency translation represents the effect of translating operating results where the functional currency is different from the Company’s U.S. dollar reporting currency. The impact of the transactional currency represents the effect of converting revenue and expenses occurring in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity. The impact of the related realized gains and losses resulting from the Company’s foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments is recognized in the respective financial statement line item on the statement of operations when the underlying forecasted transactions impact earnings. The Company believes the presentation of currency-neutral growth rates provides relevant information to facilitate an understanding of its operating results.
The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented facilitate an understanding of operating performance and provide a meaningful comparison of its results between periods. The Company’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.
The Company 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.

Footnote
The tables set forth the gross dollar volume (“GDV”), purchase volume, cash volume and the number of purchase transactions, cash transactions and cards on a regional and global basis for Mastercard™-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 and includes the impact of balance transfers and convenience checks 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 products are comprised of credit, charge, debit and prepaid programs, and data relating to each type of program is included in the tables. The tables include information with respect to transactions involving Mastercard-branded cards that are not switched 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 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 switching systems. The data set forth in the 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 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 or Mastercard’s customers. Starting in the first quarter of 2022, data related to sanctioned Russian banks was not reported to us and therefore such amounts are not included. Subsequent to the suspension of our business operations in Russia in March 2022, there is no Russian data to be reported.
Performance information for prior periods can be found in the Investor Relations section of the Mastercard website at investor.mastercard.com.
