Q2 2020 Key Business Drivers (YoY growth)
	Gross dollar volume	Cross-border volume	Switched transactions
	(local currency basis)	(local currency basis)	Switched transactions
	down 10%	down 45%	down 10%

The following additional details are provided to aid in understanding Mastercard’s second-quarter 2020 results, versus the year-ago period:


•	Net revenue decreased 19%, or 17% on a currency-neutral basis, reflecting the impacts of COVID-19 and includes a 1% benefit from acquisitions. The decline was driven by the impact of the following factors:


◦	A 10% decrease in gross dollar volume, on a local currency basis, to $1.4 trillion.


◦	A decrease in cross-border volume of 45% on a local currency basis.


◦	A decrease in switched transactions of 10%.


◦	These decreases were partially offset by:


▪	An increase in other revenues of 12%, or 14% on a currency-neutral basis. This includes a 4 percentage point increase due to acquisitions. The remaining 10% growth was driven primarily by the company’s Cyber & Intelligence and Data & Services solutions.


▪	A decrease in rebates and incentives of 10%, or 7% on a currency-neutral basis, primarily due to decreased volumes offset by new and renewed deals.

•

Total operating expenses decreased 5%. Excluding the impact of Second-Quarter Special Items, adjusted operating expenses decreased 6%, or 5% on a currency-neutral basis, and includes 4 percentage points of growth from acquisitions. Excluding acquisitions, the 9% decline was primarily related to lower advertising and marketing, travel and professional fee spend, some of which the company expects to incur in the third quarter of 2020.


•	Other income (expense) was unfavorable $139 million versus the year-ago period, primarily due to lower net unrealized gains recorded on equity investments in the current period versus the year-ago period. Excluding this activity, adjusted other income (expense) was unfavorable by $72 million versus the year-ago period, primarily due to higher interest expense related to recent debt issuances.


•	The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2020 was 16.0%, versus 18.7% for the comparable period in 2019. The adjusted effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2020 was 16.3%, versus 18.5% for the comparable period in 2019, primarily due to a more favorable geographic mix of earnings.


•	As of June 30, 2020, the company’s customers had issued 2.6 billion Mastercard and Maestro-branded cards.

Return of Capital to Shareholders

During the second quarter of 2020, Mastercard paid $401 million in dividends. The company resumed its share repurchase program at the end of the second quarter. Quarter-to-date through July 27, the company repurchased approximately 3.3 million shares at a cost of $1.0 billion, which leaves $5.9 billion remaining under the current repurchase program authorization.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Mastercard discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures: 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 excluded these 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. 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. 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 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, 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.

Performance information for prior periods can be found in the Investor Relations section of the Mastercard website at investor.mastercard.com.
