SAN FRANCISCO, July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) today announced financial results for the Company's fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2008. GAAP net income for the quarter was $422 million, or $0.51 per diluted class A common share. GAAP diluted class A common shares outstanding were 776 million. On an adjusted basis (reflective of a normalized tax rate and excluding certain litigation, restructuring and purchase amortization), net income for the quarter was $457 million, or $0.59 per diluted class A common share. Adjusted diluted class A common shares outstanding were 779 million.
Net operating revenue in the fiscal third quarter 2008 was $1.6 billion, driven by strong contributions from service fees, data processing fees, and international transaction fees as payment volumes and processed transactions rose across all regions worldwide.
"We are very pleased with our fiscal third quarter results as Visa continues to lead and benefit from the global migration to electronic payments while expanding our business worldwide," said Joe Saunders, Visa's chairman and chief executive officer. "Despite a challenging economic environment in the United States and a softening in traditional credit card spending, the strength of Visa's debit business drove solid growth in the region. In Asia Pacific, Latin America, Canada and CEMEA, Visa achieved strong growth across its range of product offerings, reinforcing our position as the world's leading payments brand and network."
"The Company's strong financial performance and double-digit increases in payments volume and transactions in this current economic environment are further proof of the resiliency of our network business model," added Saunders. "As we look to the future, we remain committed to being the best partner for our financial institution and merchant clients by investing in innovations that deliver measurable returns to their businesses and value to consumers and merchants."
Fiscal Third Quarter 2008 Financial Highlights:
Visa Inc.'s operational performance highlights for the fiscal third quarter, as measured by March 31, 2008 statistical data, include:
-- Payments volume grew 19% over the prior year to $652 billion;
-- Total volume, inclusive of cash volume was $1.0 trillion, an increase of 22% over the prior year;
-- Total cards carrying the Visa brands rose 14% worldwide to 1.6 billion over the prior year; and
-- Total payment transactions increased by 15% over the prior year to 10.7 billion.
Total processed transactions, which are based on current fiscal third quarter results on Visa's processing system, were 9.5 billion, a 13% increase over the prior year.
For the fiscal third quarter 2008, service fees were $749 million, up 13% over the prior year on a pro forma basis, and were recognized based on payment volume in the prior quarter. All other fee categories are recognized based on current quarter activity and are also compared on a pro forma basis. Data processing fees rose 20% over the prior year on a pro forma basis to $539 million. International transaction fees, which are driven by cross-border payments volume, grew 44% over the prior year on a pro forma basis to $449 million, as we continued to benefit from higher multi-currency payments volumes across all regions during the fiscal third quarter. Other revenue, which includes the Visa Europe licensing fee, was $150 million during the fiscal third quarter, up 26% over the prior year on a pro forma basis. Volume and incentive payments, which are a contra revenue item, were $274 million for the fiscal third quarter.
Total operating expenses were $965 million for the fiscal third quarter, a 5% increase over the prior year on a pro forma basis.
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and available-for-sale investment securities were $8.4 billion at June 30, 2008, and includes $2.7 billion that the Company intends to use to redeem all of the Company's class C (series II) and a portion of the class C (series III) shares in October 2008.
The Company's net income and earnings per share, excluding special items, are non-GAAP financial measures that are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measure in the accompanying financial tables.
Management believes the presentation of adjusted operating income and adjusted net income provides a clearer understanding of the one-time items related to the Company's reorganization and initial public offering. These measures also adjust for expenses related to covered litigation that will be funded by the litigation escrow account through the retrospective responsibility plan and a $31 million after-tax charge taken in the third quarter related to non-recurring legacy litigation items. The third quarter charge is not funded by the litigation escrow account. These items have a significant impact on our financial results but are either non-recurring or have no operating cash impact. Recognizing that we have a very complex equity structure incorporating multiple classes and series of common stock, the Company has also presented adjusted diluted class A earnings per share calculated based on adjusted net income and the adjusted weighted average number of shares outstanding in the periods presented. This non-GAAP financial measure has been presented to illustrate our per share results reflecting our capital structure after the redemption of all class C (series II) common stock and a portion of class C (series III) common stock, which the Company intends to redeem in October 2008. The class C (series II) common stock is classified as temporary equity and the class C (series III) common stock is classified as a liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2008. Management believes this non-GAAP presentation provides the reader with a clearer understanding of our per share results by excluding those shares to be redeemed and allocating adjusted net income only to classes and series of common stock classified as permanent equity.
Fiscal Year-to-Date 2008 Results:
For the nine months ended June 30, 2008, Visa Inc. reported GAAP net income of $1.2 billion, or $1.44 per diluted class A common share. GAAP diluted class A common shares outstanding were 767 million.
On an adjusted basis, (reflective of a normalized tax rate and excluding litigation, restructuring, and purchase amortization) net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, was $1.3 billion, or $1.67 per diluted class A common share. Adjusted diluted class A common shares outstanding were 779 million.
Net operating revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, was $4.6 billion, an increase of 22% over the prior year on a pro forma basis.
Total operating expenses were $2.9 billion for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of 15% over the prior year on a pro forma basis.
Financial Outlook:
Visa Inc. raises its financial outlook for the following metric for FY 2008:
-- Annual adjusted operating margin in the mid 40%'s range.
Visa Inc. raises its financial outlook for the following metric for FY 2009 and 2010:
-- Annual adjusted operating margin in the mid-to-high 40%'s range.
Visa Inc. reaffirms its financial outlook for the following metrics through 2010:
-- Annual net revenue growth of 11% to 15%;
-- Annual adjusted diluted class A common earnings per share growth of 20% or greater; and
-- Annual free cash flow (cash flow from operations plus cash reimbursements from litigation escrow less capital spending) in excess of $1 billion.
This outlook reflects an assumed 41% percent GAAP tax rate for fiscal year 2008. The Company's intent is to reduce this rate to a level around 35-36% over the next five years.

(1) Litigation expense recorded in the period that is non-recurring and
management believes is not indicative of Visa's future anticipated
expenses. Litigation expense recorded in the quarter ended June 30,
2008 is related to non-recurring legacy litigation items. This
expense is not covered under the retrospective responsibility plan and
will not be paid from the litigation escrow account. Amounts recorded
in prior quarters relate to covered litigation. Settlements of, or
judgments in, covered litigation will be paid from the litigation
escrow account.
(2) Restructuring costs, primarily severance in fiscal 2008, associated
with workforce consolidation and elimination of overlapping functions.
(3) Non-cash amortization and depreciation of the incremental basis in
technology and building assets acquired in the reorganization.
(4) Non-cash interest expense recorded on future payments to be made under
the settlement agreement with American Express. These payments will be
paid from the litigation escrow account.
(5) Investment income earned during the period on all IPO proceeds held,
including amounts held in the litigation escrow and amounts the
Company intends to use in October 2008 to redeem all class C (series

(1) For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and nine months ended June
30, 2008, for GAAP purposes, the number of class A common shares
outstanding is weighted to reflect the issuance of 446,600,000 shares
at the IPO date of March 19, 2008. In the calculation of the adjusted
weighted average shares outstanding, these shares are assumed to have
been issued at January 1, 2008 for the three months ended March 31,
2008 and October 1, 2007 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008.
(2) For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and nine months ended June
30, 2008, for GAAP purposes, the number of class B common shares
outstanding is weighted to reflect the redemption of 154,738,487
shares on March 28, 2008 and the reduction of the conversion ratio
applicable to remaining shares outstanding to 0.71 to 1. In the
calculation of the adjusted weighted average shares outstanding, these
shares are weighted to assume that the redemption and reduction in
conversion ratio had occurred at January 1, 2008 for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and October 1, 2007 for the nine months ended
June 30, 2008.
(3) For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and nine months ended June
30, 2008, for GAAP purposes, the number of class C (series I, II, III
& IV) common shares is weighted to reflect the redemption of
159,657,751 shares of class C (series I) common stock on March 28,
2008, and the reclassification of all shares of class C (series II)
common stock to temporary equity and 35,263,585 shares of class C
(series III) common stock to liabilities on the IPO date of March 19,
2008. Upon reclassification of the class C (series II) and class C
(series III) common stock these shares are no longer convertible into
shares of class A common stock. In the calculation of adjusted
weighted average shares outstanding, these shares are weighted to
assume that the redemption and reclassifications occurred at January
1, 2008 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and October 1, 2007
for the nine months ended June 30, 2008.
(4) For GAAP purposes, the number of class A common shares outstanding is
weighted to reflect the assumed issuance of class A common stock
underlying stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units
to employees and directors at the IPO date of March 19, 2008 and
during the three months ended June 30, 2008, by applying the treasury
stock method. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and nine
months ended June 30, 2008, in the calculation of adjusted weighted
shares outstanding, these shares are assumed to have been issued at
October 1, 2007 and were outstanding for the entire period. The share
adjustments also reflect the estimated number of stock options,
restricted stock and restricted stock units estimated to be
outstanding in October 2008 after the redemption of the class C
(series II and series III) common shares held by Visa Europe.
Class A Common Stock Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share
-- Management believes the presentation of adjusted operating income and adjusted net income provides a clearer understanding of the one-time items related to the Company's reorganization, initial public offering and other non-recurring events. These measures also adjust for expenses related to covered litigation that will be funded by the litigation escrow account and a $31 million after-tax charge taken in the third quarter related to non-recurring legacy litigation items that will not be funded by the litigation escrow account. These items have a significant impact on our financial results but are either non-recurring or have no operating cash impact.
-- Recognizing that we have a very complex equity structure incorporating multiple classes and series of common stock, the Company has also presented adjusted diluted class A earnings per share calculated below based on adjusted net income and the adjusted weighted average number of shares outstanding in the periods presented. This non-GAAP financial measure has been presented to illustrate our per share results reflecting our capital structure after the redemption of all class C (series II) common stock and a portion of class C (series III) common stock, which the Company intends to redeem in October 2008. The class C (series II) common stock is classified as temporary equity and the redeemable class C (series III) common stock is classified as a liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2008. Management believes this non-GAAP presentation provides the reader with a clearer understanding of our per share results by excluding these shares to be redeemed and allocating adjusted net income only to permanent equity.

Footnote
The preceding tables present Payments Volume, Cash Volume, Total Volume, 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 periods 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 period-over-period 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.

The table below represents transactions involving Visa, Visa Electron, Interlink and PLUS cards processed on Visa's networks.
