Visa Inc. Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2013 Net Income of $1.3 billion or $1.93 per diluted share and Authorizes New $1.75 Billion Share Repurchase Program

 

 

 

 

Broad-based net revenue growth of 12%

 

 

Earnings per share of $1.93 includes a catch-up tax benefit effect of approximately $0.11 per share

 

 

New share repurchase authorization on top of remainder at December 31, 2012 brings outstanding authorization to about $2.9 billion

Foster City, CA, February 6, 2013 – Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) today announced financial results for the Company’s fiscal first quarter 2013 ended December 31, 2012. Net income for the quarter was $1.3 billion, an increase of 26% over the prior year, or $1.93 per share, an increase of 30% over the prior year. These results included a catch-up tax benefit effect resulting from new guidance on apportionment rules from the State of California, are consistent with our full-year tax and earnings per share guidance, and represent about 11 cents of earnings per share for the quarter. All references to earnings per share assume fully diluted class A share count unless otherwise noted.

Net operating revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $2.8 billion, an increase of 12% over the prior year, driven by strong growth in service revenues, data processing revenues and international transaction revenues. There was no significant impact on current quarter results related to the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar over the prior year.

“Visa again delivered a strong quarter of revenue and earnings driven by success across our global franchise,” said Charlie Scharf, Chief Executive Officer. “Our results include significant continued investments in our core business, accelerating international expansion and the deployment of next-generation payment solutions for the benefit of our financial institution and merchant partners.” Added Scharf, “We have been committed to using our capital wisely and that includes returning capital to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases. The board’s decision to increase Visa’s repurchase authorization continues that commitment, supported by confidence we have in our future.”

Fiscal First Quarter 2013 Financial Highlights:

Payments volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, for the three months ended September 30, 2012, on which fiscal first quarter service revenue is recognized, was 6% over the prior year at $1.0 trillion.

Payments volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, for the three months ended December 31, 2012, was 9% over the prior year at $1.1 trillion.

Cross-border volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, was 11% for the three months ended December 31, 2012.

Total processed transactions, which represent transactions processed by VisaNet, for the three months ended December 31, 2012, were 14.2 billion, a 4% increase over the prior year.

Fiscal first quarter 2013 service revenues were $1.3 billion, an increase of 13% versus the prior year, and are recognized based on payments volume in the prior quarter. All other revenue categories are recognized based on current quarter activity. Data processing revenues rose 17% over the prior year to $1.1 billion. International transaction revenues, which are driven by cross-border activity, grew 8% over the prior year to $805 million. Other revenues, which include the Visa Europe licensing fee, were $179 million, a 1% increase over the prior year. Client incentives, which are a contra revenue item, were $553 million and represent 16% of gross revenues.

Total operating expenses were $1.0 billion for the quarter, a 13% increase over the prior year, primarily due to higher personnel and professional fees associated with investments in technology projects to support our growth initiatives.

The effective tax rate was 28.2% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. This rate was positively impacted by a tax benefit recognized during the quarter as a result of new guidance issued by the State of California regarding apportionment rules for years prior to fiscal 2012.

Cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale investment securities were $6.1 billion at December 31, 2012.

The weighted-average number of diluted class A common stock outstanding was 669 million.

Notable Events:

Under the terms of the class settlement agreement in the Multidistrict Litigation Proceedings (MDL) 1720, in December 2012, the Company paid approximately $4.0 billion from the litigation escrow account into a settlement fund established pursuant to the definitive class settlement agreement. Additionally, in October 2012, the Company made a payment of $350 million to the individual plaintiffs’ settlement fund.

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company repurchased approximately 9 million shares of class A common stock, at an average price of $145.40 per share, using $1.3 billion of cash on hand.

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a new $1.75 billion class A share repurchase program. The authorization will be in place through January 2014, and is subject to further change at the discretion of the Board.

As announced on January 30, 2013 the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend in the aggregate amount of $0.33 per share of class A common stock (determined in the case of class B and class C common stock on an as-converted basis) payable on March 5, 2013, to all holders of record of the Company’s class A, class B and class C common stock as of February 15, 2013.

On January 30, 2013, the Company held its 2013 annual meeting of stockholders during which holders of the Company’s class A common stock at the close of business on December 4, 2012 voted on the four proposals enumerated in the Company’s proxy statement. All of management’s proposals were approved, but the single stockholder proposal failed to pass.

Financial Outlook:

Visa Inc. updates its financial outlook for the following metric for fiscal 2013:

 

   

Annual free cash flow: About $6 billion. This increase is attributable to tax benefits to be realized during fiscal 2013 related to non-recurring litigation escrow payments of approximately $4.4 billion made during the fiscal first quarter.

Visa Inc. affirms its financial outlook for the following metrics for fiscal 2013:

 

   

Annual net revenue growth: Low double digits;

 

   

Client incentives as a percent of gross revenues: 18% to 18.5% range;

 

   

Marketing expenses: Under $1 billion;

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by the terms “continue,” “expect,” “will,” and similar references to the future. Examples of such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make about our revenue, earnings per share, incentive payments, expenses, operating margin, tax rate, capital expenditures and free cash flow and the growth of those items.

By their nature, forward-looking statements: (i) speak only as of the date they are made, (ii) are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees of future performance and (iii) are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. Therefore, actual results could differ materially and adversely from those forward-looking statements because of a variety of factors, including the following:

 

 

the impact of laws, regulations and marketplace barriers, including:

 

   

rules capping debit interchange reimbursement fees promulgated under the U.S. Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act;

 

   

rules under the Dodd-Frank Act expanding issuers’ and merchants’ choice among debit payment networks;

 

   

increased regulation outside the United States and in other product categories;

 

   

increased government support of national payment networks outside the United States; and

 

   

rules about consumer privacy and data use and security;

 

 

developments in litigation and government enforcement, including:

 

   

those affecting interchange reimbursement fees, antitrust and tax; and

 

   

our failure to satisfy the conditions necessary to make the multidistrict litigation settlement effective;

 

 

economic factors, such as:

 

   

an increase or spread of the current European crisis involving sovereign debt and the euro;

 

   

the failure to raise the “debt ceiling” in the United States and its repercussions;

 

4


   

cross-border activity and currency exchange rates;

 

   

material changes in our clients’ performance compared to our estimates; and

 

   

other global economic, political and health conditions;

 

 

industry developments, such as competitive pressure, rapid technological developments, and disintermediation from the payments value stream;

 

 

system developments, such as:

 

   

disruption of our transaction processing systems or the inability to process transactions efficiently;

 

   

account data breaches or increased fraudulent or other illegal activities involving our cards; and

 

   

issues arising at Visa Europe, including failure to maintain interoperability between our systems;

 

 

costs and liquidity needs arising if Visa Europe were to exercise its right to require us to acquire all of its outstanding stock;

 

 

loss of organizational effectiveness or key employees;

 

 

failure to integrate acquisitions successfully or to effectively launch new products and businesses; and

the other factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Operational Performance Data

 

 

Footnote

The preceding tables present regional total volume, payments volume and cash volume, and the number of payments transactions, cash transactions, accounts and cards for cards carrying the Visa, Visa Electron and Interlink brands. Card counts include PLUS proprietary cards. Nominal and constant dollar growth rates over prior years are provided for volume-based data.

Payments volume represents the aggregate dollar amount of purchases made with cards carrying the Visa, Visa Electron and Interlink brands for the relevant period; and cash volume represents the aggregate dollar amount of cash disbursements obtained with these cards for the relevant period and includes the impact of balance transfers and convenience checks; but excludes proprietary PLUS volume. Total volume represents payments volume plus cash volume.

Visa payment products are comprised of credit and debit programs, and data relating to each program is included in the tables. Debit programs include Visa’s signature based and Interlink (PIN) debit programs.

The data presented is reported quarterly by Visa’s members on their operating certificates and is subject to verification by Visa. On occasion, members may update previously submitted information.

Visa’s CEMEA region is comprised of countries in Central Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Several European Union countries in Central Europe, Israel and Turkey are not included in CEMEA. LAC is comprised of countries in Central and South America and the Caribbean. Rest of World includes Asia Pacific, Canada, CEMEA and LAC.

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 Visa Inc. volumes are reported (“Nominal USD”). These exchange rates are calculated on a quarterly basis using the established exchange rate for each quarter. To eliminate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar in measuring performance, Visa Inc. also reports year-over-year growth in total volume, payments volume and cash volume on the basis of local currency information (“Constant USD”). This presentation represents Visa’s historical methodology which may be subject to review and refinement.
