up 8% up 31% up 8%

The following information is provided to aid in understanding Mastercard’s fourth quarter 2022 results, versus the year ago period. As a reminder, we suspended our business operations in Russia in March 2022.

•Net revenue increased 12%, or 17% on a currency-neutral basis, which includes a 1 percentage point benefit from acquisitions. Primary drivers of the increase were as follows:

▪Gross dollar volume growth of 8%, on a local currency basis, to $2.1 trillion.

▪Cross-border volume growth of 31% on a local currency basis.

▪Switched transactions growth of 8%.

▪Other revenues increase of 11%, or 16% on a currency-neutral basis, which includes 1 percentage point of growth due to acquisitions. The remaining growth was driven primarily by the Company’s Cyber & Intelligence and Data & Services solutions.

▪Rebates and incentives (contra-revenues) increase of 14%, or 18% on a currency-neutral basis, primarily due to increased volumes and transactions and new and renewed deals.

•Total operating expenses increased 10%. Excluding the impact of Fourth Quarter Special Items, adjusted operating expenses increased 10%, or 13% on a currency-neutral basis. This includes a 3 percentage point increase from acquisitions. The remaining increase was primarily due to higher personnel costs to support our continued investment in our strategic initiatives across payments, services and new network capabilities, partially offset by a decrease in advertising and marketing costs.

•Other income (expense) was unfavorable $91 million, due to net losses in the current period versus net gains in the prior period related to realized and unrealized fair market value adjustments on marketable and non-marketable equity securities. Adjusted other income (expense) was favorable $30 million versus the year ago period, primarily due to an increase in our investment income, partially offset by increased interest expense related to our 2022 debt issuances.

•The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 18.3%, versus 15.7% for the comparable period in 2021. The adjusted effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 18.2%, versus 14.7% for the comparable period in 2021, primarily due to a change in the Company’s geographic mix of earnings.

•As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s customers had issued 3.1 billion Mastercard and Maestro-branded cards.

Return of Capital to Shareholders

During the fourth quarter of 2022, Mastercard repurchased 7.4 million shares at a cost of $2.4 billion and paid $473 million in dividends. Quarter-to-date through January 23, the Company repurchased 1.6 million shares at a cost of $590 million, which leaves $11.6 billion remaining under the approved share repurchase programs.

up 12% up 45% up 12%

The following information is provided to aid in understanding Mastercard’s full year 2022 results, versus the year ago period. As a reminder, we suspended our business operations in Russia in March 2022.

•Net revenue increased 18%. Excluding the impact of Full Year Special Items, adjusted net revenue increased 18%, or 23% on a currency-neutral basis, which includes a 1 percentage point benefit from acquisitions. Primary drivers of the increase were as follows:

•Gross dollar volume growth of 12%, on a local currency basis, to $8.2 trillion.

•Cross-border volume growth of 45% on a local currency basis.

•Switched transactions growth of 12%.

•Other revenues increase of 16%, or 20% on a currency-neutral basis, which includes 3 percentage point of growth due to acquisitions. The remaining growth was driven primarily by the Company’s Cyber & Intelligence and Data & Services solutions.

•Rebates and incentives (contra-revenues) increase of 19%, or 23% on a currency-neutral basis, primarily due to increased volumes and transactions and new and renewed deals.

•Total operating expenses increased 13%. Excluding the impact of Full Year Special Items, adjusted operating expenses increased 11%, or 14% on a currency-neutral basis. This includes a 4 percentage

point increase from acquisitions. The remaining increase was primarily due to higher personnel costs, travel and meeting costs, and unfavorable foreign exchange activity.

•Other income (expense) was unfavorable $757 million, primarily due to net losses in the current year versus net gains in the prior year related to unrealized fair market value adjustments on marketable and non-marketable equity securities. Adjusted other income (expense) was favorable $26 million versus the prior year, primarily due to an increase in our investment income, partially offset by increased interest expense related to our 2022 debt issuances.

•The effective tax rate for 2022 was 15.4%, versus 15.7% for the comparable period in 2021. The adjusted effective tax rate for 2022 was 15.7%, versus 15.4% for the comparable period in 2021. The adjusted effective tax rate was higher in 2022 primarily due to the recognition of U.S. tax benefits in 2021, the majority of which were discrete, a discrete tax benefit in 2021 related to the remeasurement of the Company’s net deferred tax asset in the U.K., and a discrete tax expense related to an unfavorable court ruling in 2022, all of which was partially offset by a discrete tax benefit in the first quarter of 2022 due to final U.S. tax regulations published in the current year.

Return of Capital to Shareholders

During the full year 2022, Mastercard repurchased 25.7 million shares at a cost of $8.8 billion and paid $1.9 billion in dividends.

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 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. 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.

Gains and Losses on Equity Investments

  1. Full Year 2022 pre-tax net losses of $145 million and 2021 pre-tax net gains of $645 million were primarily related to unrealized fair market value adjustments on marketable and non-marketable equity securities.

Full Year Special Items

  1. Full Year 2022 pre-tax charges of $356 million as a result of settlements (both final and agreements in principle) with a number of U.K. merchants, and as a result of change in estimate related to the claims of merchants who opted out of the U.S. merchant class litigation.

  2. Full Year 2022 pre-tax net charges of $30 million directly related to imposed sanctions and the suspension of our business operations in Russia. The net charge is comprised of general and administrative expenses of $67 million primarily related to incremental employee-related costs and reserves on uncollectible balances with certain sanctioned customers, offset by a net benefit of $37 million in rebates and incentives (contra-revenue) primarily related to a reduction in liabilities as a result of lower estimates of customer performance for certain customer business agreements due to the suspension of our business operations in Russia.

  3. Full Year 2021 pre-tax charges of $94 million related to litigation settlements and estimated attorneys’ fees with U.K. merchants and Pan-European merchants.

  4. Full Year 2021 pre-tax charges of $88 million related to the resolution of a foreign indirect tax matter for 2015 through 2021 and the related interest expense.

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.
