Net Revenues | $7.2 | 25% | ||||||||||||
GAAP Net Income | $3.6 | 21% | "We had a very strong quarter amidst the invasion of Ukraine and our decision to suspend operations in Russia, with GAAP EPS up 23% and non-GAAP EPS up 30%. The Omicron variant impacts were short lived and the global economic recovery that began in the middle of last year continued. We had solid growth in most countries around the globe and across all elements of our business, with revenue growth of over 20% in consumer payments, new flows and value added services. While the geopolitical environment remains uncertain, we expect continued growth driven by a robust travel recovery and through the enablement of traditional and newer ways to pay globally." | |||||||||||

GAAP net income in the fiscal second quarter was $3.6 billion or $1.70 per share, an increase of 21% and 23%, respectively, over prior year’s results. Current year’s results included $127 million of net losses from equity investments, $40 million from the amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-recurring acquisition-related costs, and $60 million from the Russia-Ukraine charges. Prior year’s results included $152 million pertaining to a special item for additional indirect taxes, $156 million of net gains from equity investments, and $18 million from the amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-recurring acquisition-related costs. Excluding these items and related tax impacts, non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $3.8 billion or $1.79 per share, increases of 27% and 30%, respectively, over prior year’s results (refer to the accompanying financial tables for further details and a reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP measures presented). GAAP earnings per share growth was approximately 23% on a constant-dollar basis, which excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar. Non-GAAP earnings per share growth was approximately 30% on a constant-dollar basis. All references to earnings per share assume fully-diluted class A share count. | ||
Net revenues in the fiscal second quarter were $7.2 billion, an increase of 25%, driven by the year-over-year growth in payments volume, cross-border volume and processed transactions. Net revenues increased approximately 27% on a constant-dollar basis. | ||
Payments volume for the three months ended December 31, 2021, on which fiscal second quarter service revenues are recognized, increased 20% over the prior year on a constant-dollar basis. | ||
Payments volume for the three months ended March 31, 2022, increased 17% over the prior year on a constant-dollar basis. | ||
Cross-border volume excluding transactions within Europe, which drive our international transaction revenues, increased 47% on a constant-dollar basis for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Total cross-border volume on a constant-dollar basis increased 38% in the quarter. | ||
Total processed transactions, which represent transactions processed by Visa, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, were 44.8 billion, a 19% increase over the prior year. | ||
Fiscal second quarter service revenues were $3.5 billion, an increase of 24% over 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 16% over the prior year to $3.5 billion. International transaction revenues grew 48% over the prior year to $2.2 billion. Other revenues of $474 million rose 21% over the prior year. Client incentives, a contra-revenue item, were $2.5 billion and represented 25.8% of gross revenues. | ||
GAAP operating expenses were $2.4 billion for the fiscal second quarter, an 11% increase over the prior year's results, primarily driven by increases in personnel and marketing expenses. GAAP operating expenses included the Russia-Ukraine charges in the current year, the amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-recurring acquisition-related costs in the current and prior year and the special item related to the additional indirect taxes for the prior year. Excluding these operating expense items, non-GAAP operating expenses increased 16% over the prior year, primarily driven by increases in marketing, personnel and general and administrative expenses. | ||
GAAP non-operating expense was $260 million for the fiscal second quarter, including $127 million of net equity investment losses. Excluding this item, non-GAAP non-operating expense was $133 million. | ||
GAAP effective income tax rate was 19.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, including the tax impacts from the non-GAAP items. Excluding these items, the non-GAAP effective income tax rate was 19.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. | ||

On March 10, 2022, Visa acquired Tink – an open banking platform that enables financial institutions, fintechs and merchants to build financial products and services and move money. Through a single API, Tink enables its customers to move money, access aggregated financial data, and use smart financial services such as risk insights and account verification. Tink is integrated with more than 3,400 banks and financial institutions, reaching millions of bank customers across Europe. | ||
During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, economic sanctions were imposed on Russia by the U.S., European Union, United Kingdom and other jurisdictions and authorities, impacting Visa and its clients. We announced in March 2022 that we were suspending our operations in Russia. As a result, we are no longer generating revenue from domestic and cross-border activities related to Russia. Since 2015, domestic transactions have been processed by Russia’s state-owned payments operator, National Payment Card System. With respect to cross-border activities, all transactions initiated with Visa cards issued by financial institutions outside Russia no longer work within Russia, and all transactions on cards issued in Russia no longer work outside the country. Furthermore, we have deconsolidated our Russian subsidiary, as required under U.S. GAAP. For the first half of fiscal 2022 and full year fiscal 2021, total net revenues from Russia, including revenues driven by domestic as well as cross-border activities, were approximately 4% of our consolidated net revenues. With respect to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, our priority is ensuring the safety and security of our colleagues and their families who are directly impacted. We are in close contact with those in the region and are providing ongoing support to our colleagues. | ||
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, Visa repurchased 13.8 million shares of class A common stock at an average price of $210.19 per share for $2.9 billion. In the six months ended March 31, 2022, Visa repurchased a total of 33.3 million shares of class A common stock, at an average price of $210.11 per share, using $7.0 billion of cash on hand. The Company had $9.7 billion of remaining authorized funds for share repurchase as of March 31, 2022. | ||
On April 22, 2022, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.375 per share of class A common stock (determined in the case of class B and C common stock and series A, B and C convertible participating preferred stock on an as-converted basis) payable on June 1, 2022, to all holders of record as of May 13, 2022. | ||

We use non-GAAP financial measures of our performance which exclude certain items which we believe are not representative of our continuing operations, as they may be non-recurring or have no cash impact, and may distort our longer-term operating trends. We consider non-GAAP measures useful to investors because they provide greater transparency into management’s view and assessment of our ongoing operating performance. •Gains and losses on equity investments. Gains and losses on equity investments include periodic non-cash fair value adjustments and gains and losses upon sale of an investment. These long-term investments are strategic in nature and are primarily private company investments. Gains and losses and the related tax impacts associated with these investments are tied to the performance of the companies that we invest in and therefore do not correlate to the underlying performance of our business. •Amortization of acquired intangible assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets such as developed technology, customer relationships and brands acquired in connection with business combinations executed beginning in fiscal 2019. Amortization charges for our acquired intangible assets are non-cash and are significantly affected by the timing, frequency and size of our acquisitions, rather than our core operations. As such, we have excluded this amount and the related tax impact to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to our past operating performance. •Acquisition-related costs. Acquisition-related costs consist primarily of one-time transaction and integration costs associated with our business combinations. These costs include professional fees, technology integration fees, restructuring activities and other direct costs related to the purchase and integration of acquired entities. These costs also include retention equity and deferred equity compensation when they are agreed upon as part of the purchase price of the transaction but are required to be recognized as expense post-combination. We have excluded these amounts and the related tax impacts as the expenses are recognized for a limited duration and do not reflect the underlying performance of our business. •Litigation provision. During the six months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded an additional accrual to address claims associated with the interchange multidistrict litigation of $145 million, and related tax benefit of $32 million determined by applying applicable tax rates. Under the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan, we recover the monetary liabilities related to the U.S. covered litigation through a downward adjustment to the conversion rate of our class B common stock to shares of class A common stock. •Russia-Ukraine charges. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a loss within general and administrative expense of $35 million from the deconsolidation of our Russian subsidiary. We also incurred charges of $25 million in personnel expense as a result of steps taken to support our employees in Russia and Ukraine. We have excluded these amounts and the related tax benefit of $4 million, determined by applying applicable tax rates, as they are one-time charges and do not reflect the underlying performance of our business. •Indirect taxes. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized a one-time charge within general and administrative expense of $152 million, and related tax benefit of $40 million determined by applying applicable tax rates. This charge is to record our estimate of probable additional indirect taxes, related to prior periods, for which we could be liable as a result of certain changes in applicable law. This one-time charge is not representative of our ongoing operations. Our results are denominated in U.S. dollars and are calculated each quarter by applying an established U.S. dollar/foreign currency exchange rate for each local currency. To eliminate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar in measuring financial performance, Visa Inc. reports year-over-year growth using a fixed current year U.S. dollar/foreign currency exchange rate for the current and prior year periods ("constant-dollar basis"). | ||
