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

GAAP revenues were $2.45 billion, compared to $2.28 billion in 2022; diluted earnings per share were $1.05 compared to a loss per share of $2.42 in the prior year; and operating margin was 24.6% compared to (23.0)% in the prior year.
Adjusted net revenues increased 7% to $2.20 billion, compared to $2.06 billion in 2022.
Adjusted earnings per share increased 11% to $2.62, compared to $2.36 in 2022.
Adjusted operating margin expanded 100 basis points to 44.8%.

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.

⁽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, 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.
