August 1, 2023 6:55 AM

Delivers Strong Second Quarter Performance

Raises 2023 Outlook

Remains on Track to Achieve Targeted Synergies from EVO Acquisition

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230801220353/en/

“We delivered strong second quarter results, as the effectiveness of our four-pillared strategy and outstanding execution by our team members worldwide continue to propel our business,” said Cameron Bready, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our differentiated focus on software primacy, omnichannel solutions, faster growth markets and business-to-business payments generated significant growth across our go forward businesses.”

Bready continued, “We also remain delighted with the EVO Payments acquisition and the progress we have made with our integration activities. We are even more excited now about our prospects together as a combined business than we were at the time we announced the transaction, and remain on course to deliver at least $125 million in run-rate synergies.”

Bready concluded, “I have been at Global Payments for nearly a decade and have never been more enthusiastic about the opportunities available to us. We have a compelling technology-enabled strategy, a world-class team, great partners and clients and a global presence with distribution capabilities that are second to none. And having completed our strategic pivot to focus on a simpler model, I am confident that our best days remain in front of us.”

Second Quarter 2023 Summary

2023 Outlook

“Our outstanding financial results for the second quarter and year-to-date period reflect continued strong and consistent execution across our businesses, despite an uncertain macroeconomic environment,” said Josh Whipple, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Based on this performance, we are raising our expectations for 2023.

“The company now expects 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 adjusted earnings per share to now be in a range of $10.35 to $10.44, reflecting growth of 11% to 12% over 2022, or 16% to 17% excluding dispositions. We continue to expect adjusted operating margin for 2023 to expand by up to 120 basis points.”

Whipple concluded, “Our 2023 outlook reflects the continued momentum we are seeing in our business, while also accommodating the potential for a more tempered macroeconomic environment over the remainder of the year.”

Capital Allocation

Global Payments’ Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.25 per share payable on September 29, 2023 to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2023.

Conference Call

Global Payments’ management will host a live audio webcast today, August 1, 2023, at 8:00 a.m. EDT to discuss financial results and business highlights. The audio webcast, along with supplemental financial information, can be accessed via the investor relations page of the company’s website at investors.globalpayments.com. 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 the 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.

These forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which we operate, and beliefs of and assumptions made by our management, involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect the financial condition, results of operations, business plans and the future performance of Global Payments. Actual events or results might differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that our plans and expectations will be achieved. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding guidance and projected financial results for the year 2023; the effects of general economic conditions on our business; statements about the benefits of our acquisitions or divestitures, including future financial and operating results, the company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, and the successful integration of our acquisitions or completion of anticipated benefits or strategic initiatives; our success and timing in developing and introducing new services and expanding our business; and other statements regarding our future financial performance. Although we believe that the plans and expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our plans and expectations will be attained, and therefore actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements.

In addition to factors previously disclosed in Global Payments’ reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: the effects of global economic, political, market, health and social events or other conditions; foreign currency exchange, continuing inflation and rising interest rate risks; difficulties, delays and higher than anticipated costs related to integrating the businesses of acquired companies, including with respect to implementing controls to prevent a material security breach of any internal systems or to successfully manage credit and fraud risks in business units; the effect of a security breach or operational failure on our business; failing to comply with the applicable requirements of Visa, Mastercard or other payment networks or card schemes or changes in those requirements; the ability to maintain Visa and Mastercard registration and financial institution sponsorship; the ability to retain, develop and hire key personnel; the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations; the continued availability of capital and financing; increased competition in the markets in which we operate and our ability to increase our market share in existing markets and expand into new markets; our ability to safeguard our data; risks associated with our indebtedness; our ability to meet environmental, social or governance targets, goals and commitments; the potential effect of climate change including natural disasters; the effects of new or changes in current laws, regulations, credit card association rules or other industry standards on us or our partners and customers, including privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations; and other events beyond our control, and other factors included in the “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other documents that we file with the SEC, which are available at https://www.sec.gov.

Includes adjustments to revenues for gross-up related payments (included in operating expenses) associated with certain lines of business to reflect economic benefits to the company. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, net revenue adjustments also included $0.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, to eliminate the effect of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments for software-related contract liabilities associated with acquired businesses. Adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2023 also included a $5.2 million adjustment to exclude revenues that were associated with certain excluded expenses of our consumer business, which was divested in April 2023.

(2)

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, earnings adjustments to operating income included $344.3 million in cost of services (COS) and $150.3 million in selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A). Adjustments to COS included amortization of acquired intangibles of $344.4 million and other items of $(0.1) million. Adjustments to SG&A included share-based compensation expense of $47.1 million, acquisition, integration and separation expenses of $86.6 million, facilities exit charges of $3.6 million, employee severance charges of $11.2 million, and other items of $1.8 million. Earnings adjustments to operating income also included the $105.7 million gain on business dispositions.

Acquisition, integration and separation expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 included $19.4 million related to our divested consumer business. These incremental expenses, which include card and marketing expenses, compensation and benefit expenses, and other expenses, were incurred as a result of contractual obligations with the purchasers of the consumer business and do not reflect the manner in which the Company would have operated the business and would not have otherwise been incurred absent the transaction.

Earnings adjustments to net income also included an allowance for current expected credit losses (CECL) of $18.2 million within interest and other expense related to the seller financing issued in connection with the business dispositions.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, earnings adjustments to operating income included $327.8 million in COS and $117.3 million in SG&A. Adjustments to COS represent amortization of acquired intangibles of $327.4 million and other items of $0.4 million. Adjustments to SG&A include share-based compensation expense of $47.0 million, acquisition and integration expenses of $61.8 million and other items of $8.5 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, earnings adjustments to operating income also included the $833.1 million noncash goodwill impairment charge in connection with the strategic review of the former Business and Consumer Solutions segment and sale of the consumer business and the $152.2 million loss on business dispositions.

(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. In addition, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, income taxes on adjustments include the removal of tax expense related to business dispositions.

(4)

Includes 341,681 dilutive shares for non-GAAP. All awards are antidilutive for GAAP due to reporting a net loss.

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 or 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.
