At the closing of the acquisition of Visa Europe in June 2016, Visa issued convertible participating preferred stock to cover certain expenses incurred by Visa in defending and resolving multilateral interchange fee-related claims asserted in the UK and Europe. Visa is required to undertake periodic release assessments to determine if value should be released from the series B and C preferred stock. The fourth release assessment occurred on June 21, 2025, the ninth anniversary of the Visa Europe acquisition. Visa released approximately $1.4 billion of the as-converted value from its series B and C preferred stock and issued series A preferred stock, effective August 18, 2025. This did not affect the fully diluted share count.

On September 25, 2025, Visa deposited $500 million into its litigation escrow account, which was previously established under the Company’s U.S. retrospective responsibility plan to insulate the Company and class A common stockholders from financial liability for certain litigation cases. This deposit has the same economic effect on earnings per share as repurchasing the Company's class A common stock as it reduced each of the as-converted class B-1 common stock and class B-2 common stock share counts at a volume weighted average price of $340.92.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, Visa repurchased approximately 14 million shares of class A common stock at an average cost of $349.77 per share for $4.9 billion. In the twelve months ended September 30, 2025, Visa repurchased a total of approximately 54 million shares of class A common stock at an average cost of $335.44 per share for $18.2 billion. The Company had $24.9 billion of remaining authorized funds for share repurchases as of September 30, 2025.

On October 28, 2025, the board of directors declared an increase to Visa's quarterly cash dividend to $0.670 per share of class A common stock (determined in the case of all other outstanding common and preferred stock on an as-converted basis) payable on December 1, 2025, to all holders of record as of November 12, 2025.

We use non-GAAP financial measures of our performance which exclude certain items which we believe are not representative of our continuing operations, as they may be non-recurring or have no cash impact, and may distort our longer-term operating trends. Constant-dollar financial measures are calculated by using a fixed current year U.S. dollar/foreign currency exchange rate for each local currency for the current and prior year periods, which eliminates the impact of foreign currency transactions in measuring financial performance. We consider non-GAAP measures useful to investors because they provide greater transparency into management’s view and assessment of our ongoing operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon as substitutes for, or considered in isolation from, measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We exclude the following from our GAAP financial results to arrive at our non-GAAP financial results:

•Gains and losses on equity investments. Gains and losses on equity investments include periodic non-cash fair value adjustments and gains and losses upon sale of an investment. These long-term investments are strategic in nature and are primarily private company investments. Gains and losses associated with these investments are tied to the performance of the companies that we invest in and therefore do not correlate to the underlying performance of our business.

•Amortization of acquired intangible assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets such as technology and customer relationships acquired in connection with business combinations executed beginning in fiscal 2019. Amortization charges for our acquired intangible assets are non-cash and are significantly affected by the timing, frequency and size of our acquisitions, rather than our core operations. As such, we have excluded this amount to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to our past operating performance.

•Acquisition-related costs. Acquisition-related costs consist primarily of one-time transaction and integration costs associated with our business combinations. These costs include professional fees, technology integration fees, restructuring activities and other direct costs related to the purchase and integration of acquired entities. These costs also include retention equity and deferred compensation when they are agreed upon as part of the purchase price of the transaction but are required to be recognized as expense post-combination. We have excluded these amounts as the expenses are recognized for a limited duration and do not reflect the underlying performance of our business.

•Severance costs. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded severance costs within personnel expense to realign our organizational structure and focus on areas that will drive higher long-term growth. This broad-based optimization effort has been excluded as it is not representative of our ongoing operations.

•Lease consolidation costs. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded charges within general and administrative expense associated with the consolidation of certain leased office spaces. We have excluded these amounts as it does not reflect the underlying performance of our business.

•Litigation provision. Litigation provision includes significant accruals related to certain legal matters that are not covered by the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan or the Europe retrospective responsibility plan (uncovered legal matters) and additional accruals associated with the interchange multidistrict litigation which are covered by the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan (U.S. covered litigation). Litigation provision associated with these matters can vary significantly based on the facts and circumstances related to each matter and do not correlate to the underlying performance of our business. For the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we have excluded these amounts to facilitate a comparison to our past operating performance.

•Indirect taxes. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2024, as a result of the resolution of an audit, we recognized a benefit within general and administrative expense related to the release of the reserve previously recognized in fiscal 2021. This one-time benefit is not representative of our ongoing operations.

•Charitable contribution. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2024, we donated investment securities to the Visa Foundation and recognized a non-cash general and administrative expense. We have excluded this amount as it does not reflect the underlying performance of our business.
