Delivers Record Results for Third Quarter

Reaffirms Constant Currency Outlook (Excluding Dispositions)

Receives HSR Clearance for EVO Payments Acquisition and Netspend Consumer Divestiture

Global Payments Inc. (NYSE:GPN) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20221031005242/en/

"We delivered record results in the third quarter consistent with our raised cycle guidance (on a constant currency basis and excluding dispositions), highlighting the resiliency of our business model and our ongoing track record of execution across market cycles," said Jeff Sloan, Chief Executive Officer. "Importantly, our Merchant business delivered strong 11% adjusted net revenue growth (ex Russia) and our Issuer business delivered 6% adjusted net revenue growth, each on a foreign exchange neutral basis relative to the prior year period. Our core Issuer business continued to accelerate sequentially versus Q2 2022.

"We achieved these results while making substantial progress on our strategic and financing initiatives during the period. We received Hart-Scott-Rodino clearance in the United States for our acquisition of EVO Payments and divestiture of Netspend's consumer business, and we have now made regulatory filings in all jurisdictions, foreign and domestic, contemplated by the transactions."

Sloan continued, "We took steps to finance the EVO transaction with a $2.5 billion debt capital raise in August at attractive rates, and we completed a successful long-term extension and enhancement of our revolving credit facility. We also closed on our $1.5 billion strategic investment with Silver Lake and associated transactions."

Sloan concluded, "These transactions will serve to accelerate our strategy and provide us with enhanced confidence in our growth and margin targets over the cycle. Upon closing, Merchant Solutions will represent approximately 75% of our adjusted net revenue with Issuer Solutions, including B2B, comprising roughly 25%. We have multiple levers in each segment to continue to gain share over the cycle and a simpler model more geared toward our core customers with enhanced growth and margin prospects."

Third Quarter 2022 Summary

GAAP revenues were $2.29 billion, compared to $2.20 billion in the third quarter of 2021; diluted earnings per share were $1.05 compared to $1.01 in the prior year; and operating margin was 16.9% compared to 18.2% in the prior year.
Adjusted net revenues increased 3% (6% constant currency) to $2.06 billion, compared to $2.00 billion in the third quarter of 2021; excluding the impact of exiting Russia and the Netspend consumer assets, classified as held for sale, adjusted net revenue increased 9% on a constant currency basis.
Adjusted earnings per share increased 14% (18% constant currency) to $2.48, compared to $2.18 in the third quarter of 2021.
Adjusted operating margin expanded 240 basis points to 45.2%.

2022 Outlook

"We are pleased with our strong financial performance in the third quarter, which was consistent with our expectations despite ongoing macro headwinds," said Josh Whipple, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "On a constant currency basis, we achieved high-single-digit adjusted net revenue growth excluding the impact of exiting Russia and the Netspend consumer assets, expanded adjusted operating margins meaningfully and delivered high-teens adjusted earnings per share growth driven by consistent execution of our technology-enabled strategy.

"For 2022, we continue to expect constant currency adjusted net revenue growth of 10% to 11% over 2021, excluding dispositions. Further, we continue to expect adjusted earnings per share on a constant currency basis to be in a range of $9.53 to $9.75, reflecting growth of 17% to 20% over 2021. We also now expect adjusted operating margin expansion of up to 170 basis points, an increase from our prior outlook of up to 150 basis points.

"Our 2022 outlook presumes continuing recovery from the pandemic worldwide and a stable global macroeconomic environment throughout the remainder of this calendar year."

Whipple concluded, "We continue to expect the acquisition of EVO and the disposition of Netspend's consumer business to close in the first quarter of 2023, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of customary closing conditions."

Capital Allocation

Global Payments' Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.25 per share payable December 30, 2022 to shareholders of record as of December 16, 2022. Our Board of Directors has also reauthorized up to $1.5 billion of share repurchase capacity.

Conference Call

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Global Payments supplements revenues, operating income, operating margin and net income and earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP by providing these measures with certain adjustments (such measures being non-GAAP financial measures) in this earnings release to assist with evaluating our performance. In addition to GAAP measures, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to focus on the factors the company believes are pertinent to the daily management of our operations. The constant currency growth measures adjust for the impact of exchange rates and are calculated using average exchange rates during the comparable period in 2021.

Global Payments also has provided supplemental non-GAAP information to reflect the pending divestiture of the consumer portion of the Consumer Solutions segment. Management believes that providing such supplemental financial information should enhance shareholders' ability to evaluate how the business will be managed going forward.

Reconciliations of each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the schedules to this release.

See Schedules 8 and 9 for a reconciliation of adjusted net revenue and adjusted operating income by segment to the most comparable GAAP measures and Schedule 10 for a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures.

During the third quarter of 2022, as a result of the pending divestiture of our consumer business and changes in how the business is now managed, we have realigned the businesses previously comprising our Business and Consumer Solutions segment to include the business-to-business portion within our Issuer Solutions segment and the consumer portion within our Consumer Solutions segment. Our three reportable segments now are: Merchant Solutions, Issuer Solutions and Consumer Solutions. The presentation of segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 has been recast to align with the segment presentation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Note: Amounts may not sum due to rounding.

(3)	Income taxes on adjustments reflect the tax effect of earnings adjustments to income before income taxes. The tax rate used in determining the tax impact of earnings adjustments is either the jurisdictional statutory rate in effect at the time of the adjustment or the jurisdictional expected annual effective tax rate for the period, depending on the nature and timing of the adjustment.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Global Payments supplements revenues, operating income, operating margin and net income and earnings per share (EPS) determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP by providing these measures with certain adjustments (such measures being non-GAAP financial measures) in this document to assist with evaluating our performance. In addition to GAAP measures, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to focus on the factors the company believes are pertinent to the daily management of our operations. Management believes adjusted net revenue more closely reflects the economic benefits to the company's core business and allows for better comparisons with industry peers. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, together with other metrics, to set goals for and measure the performance of the business and to determine incentive compensation.

Adjusted net revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, revenues, operating income, net income and earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures reflect management's judgment of particular items, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted net revenue excludes gross-up related payments associated with certain lines of business to reflect economic benefits to the company. On a GAAP basis, these payments are presented gross in both revenues and operating expenses. Adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS exclude acquisition-related amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, acquisition, integration and separation expense, goodwill impairment charges and gain or losses on business divestitures, and certain other items specific to each reporting period as more fully described in the accompanying reconciliations in Schedules 6 to 9. Adjusted operating margin is derived by dividing adjusted operating income by adjusted net revenue. The constant currency growth measures adjust for the impact of exchange rates and are calculated using average exchange rates during the comparable period in 2021. The tax rate used in determining the income tax impact of earnings adjustments is either the jurisdictional statutory rate in effect at the time of the adjustment or the jurisdictional expected annual effective tax rate for the period, depending on the nature and timing of the adjustment.

The supplemental non-GAAP information reflects the pending divestiture of our consumer business. Management believes that providing such supplemental financial information should enhance shareholders' ability to evaluate how the business will be managed going forward.
