Third Quarter 2023 Summary

GAAP revenues were $2.48 billion, compared to $2.29 billion in 2022; diluted earnings per share were $1.39 compared to $1.05 in the prior year; and operating margin was 22.5% compared to 16.9% in the prior year.
Adjusted net revenues increased 9% to $2.23 billion, compared to $2.06 billion in 2022.
Adjusted earnings per share increased 11% to $2.75, compared to $2.48 in 2022.
Adjusted operating margin expanded 50 basis points to 45.7%.

2023 Outlook

"We are pleased with our continued solid financial performance and results for the third quarter and year-to-date period," said Josh Whipple, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "We achieved 9% adjusted net revenue growth, strong adjusted operating margin expansion and 11% adjusted earnings per share growth compared to the same period in 2022."

Whipple continued, "We remain encouraged by the trends we are seeing in our business, despite ongoing macroeconomic concerns and foreign currency exchange rate volatility. The company continues to expect adjusted net revenue to be in a range of $8.660 billion to $8.735 billion, reflecting growth of 7% to 8% over 2022, and for adjusted operating margin to expand by up to 120 basis points in 2023. We now anticipate adjusted earnings per share to be in a range of $10.39 to $10.45, reflecting growth of 11% to 12% over 2022, or roughly 17% excluding dispositions."

Whipple concluded, "Our 2023 outlook reflects the ongoing momentum in our business, while also accommodating for a more tempered economic environment given the continued uncertainty."

Conference Call

Global Payments' management will host a live audio webcast today, October 31, 2023, at 8:00 a.m. EDT to discuss financial results and business highlights.

A replay of the audio webcast will be archived on the company's website following the live event.

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.

Global Payments also has provided supplemental non-GAAP information to reflect the divestiture of the consumer portion of our Netspend business, which comprised our former Consumer Solutions segment, which closed in April 2023. 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, except for forward-looking measures where a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the items that are excluded from the non-GAAP outlook measures.

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, 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 and 7. Adjusted operating margin is derived by dividing adjusted operating income by adjusted net revenue. 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 excludes the results of the consumer business that was divested in April 2023. Management believes that providing such supplemental financial information should enhance shareholders' ability to evaluate how the business will be managed going forward.
