Purchase, NY - April 28, 2022 - Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE: MA) today announced financial results for the first quarter 2022.

"Russia’s invasion of Ukraine marked a somber start to 2022, as war returned to Europe for the first time in decades,” said Michael Miebach, Mastercard CEO. “Even in the context of this challenging geopolitical environment, we’re off to a strong start in 2022 with robust revenue and earnings growth as cross-border volumes grew 53% versus a year ago on a local currency basis. As of March, cross-border travel is above 2019 levels for the first time since the pandemic began, and ahead of our expectations. We continue to make good progress against our strategic priorities, deepening relationships with key issuers and co-brand partners across the globe. We’re seeing strong traction in consumer and small business payments, Mastercard Installments and our work across the digital asset space. This complements the continued growth of acceptance and the expansion of our services capabilities through our acquisition of Dynamic Yield."

up 17% up 53% up 22%

The following information is provided to aid in understanding Mastercard’s first quarter 2022 results, during which we suspended our business operations in Russia, versus the year ago period:

•Net revenue increased 24%. Excluding the impact of Special Items, adjusted net revenue increased 24%, or 27% on a currency-neutral basis, which includes a 2 percentage point benefit from acquisitions. Primary drivers of the increase were as follows:

•Gross dollar volume growth of 17%, on a local currency basis, to $1.9 trillion.

•Cross-border volume growth of 53% on a local currency basis.

•Switched transactions growth of 22%.

•Other revenues increased 18%, or 20% on a currency-neutral basis, which includes 7 percentage points 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-revenue) increased 26%, or 29% on a currency-neutral basis, which includes a 1 percentage point reduction from Special Items.

•Total operating expenses increased 13%. Excluding the impact of Special Items, adjusted operating expenses increased 11%, or 13% on a currency-neutral basis. This includes a 6 percentage point increase from acquisitions. The remaining increase was primarily due to increased spending on advertising and marketing, higher personnel costs to support the continued investment in our strategic initiatives and increased data processing costs.

•Other income (expense) was unfavorable $170 million, primarily due to net losses in the current period versus net gains in the prior period related to unrealized fair market value adjustments on marketable and nonmarketable equity securities. Adjusted other income (expense) was flat versus the year ago period.

•The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was 5.1%, versus 16.5% for the comparable period in 2021. The adjusted effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was 5.3%, versus 16.9% for the comparable period in 2021. The current year adjusted effective tax rate includes an 11.7 percentage point discrete tax benefit due to final U.S. tax regulations published in the current period resulting in a valuation allowance release of $333 million associated with the U.S. foreign tax credit carryforward deferred tax asset.

•As of March 31, 2022, the company’s customers had issued 2.9 billion Mastercard and Maestro-branded cards.

Return of Capital to Shareholders

During the first quarter of 2022, Mastercard repurchased 6.8 million shares at a cost of $2.4 billion and paid $479 million in dividends. Quarter-to-date through April 25 the company repurchased 1.7 million shares at a cost of $599 million, which leaves $8.9 billion remaining under the approved share repurchase programs.

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.

**    Not applicable

Gains and Losses on Equity Investments

  1. Q1’22 and Q1’21, pre-tax net losses of $76 million and net gains of $94 million, respectively, were primarily related to unrealized fair market value adjustments on marketable and nonmarketable equity securities.

First Quarter Special Items

  1. Q1’22 pre-tax net charges of $4 million were 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 $34 million primarily related to reserves on uncollectible balances with certain sanctioned customers, offset by a net benefit of $30 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.

Other Notes

  1. Represents the translational and transactional impact of currency and the related impact of the company’s foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments.

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. In the first quarter of 2022, data related to sanctioned Russian banks was not reported to us and hence such amounts are not included.

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