Net Revenues | $7.9 | 12% | ||||||||||||
GAAP Net Income | $4.2 | 6% | "In our fiscal first quarter of 2023, Visa grew net revenues 12% year over year as we saw stable payments volume and processed transaction growth and a continued cross-border travel recovery. We had 8% growth in GAAP EPS, 21% growth in non-GAAP EPS and returned $4 billion to shareholders. I continue to see a bright future for Visa and believe that we have the right strategy to invest in and capitalize on the opportunities ahead across consumer payments, new flows and value added services. On February 1, Ryan McInerney will become CEO of Visa and I will assume the role of Executive Chairman. I am confident Ryan will lead Visa to new heights and I am grateful to all of our 26,500 employees who continue to position Visa at the center of money movement in increasingly innovative ways." | |||||||||||

GAAP net income in the fiscal first quarter was $4.2 billion or $1.99 per share, an increase of 6% and 8%, respectively, over prior year’s results. Current year’s results included a special item of $341 million for a litigation provision associated with the interchange multidistrict litigation ("MDL") case, $106 million of net losses from equity investments and $66 million from the amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-recurring acquisition-related costs. Prior year’s results included a special item of $145 million for a litigation provision associated with the MDL case, $231 million of net gains from equity investments, and $23 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 $4.6 billion or $2.18 per share, increases of 17% and 21%, 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 12% 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 24% on a constant-dollar basis. All references to earnings per share assume fully-diluted class A share count. | ||
Net revenues in the fiscal first quarter were $7.9 billion, an increase of 12%, driven by the year-over-year growth in payments volume, cross-border volume and processed transactions. Net revenues increased 15% on a constant-dollar basis. | ||
Payments volume for the three months ended September 30, 2022, on which fiscal first quarter service revenues are recognized, increased 10% over the prior year on a constant-dollar basis. | ||
Payments volume for the three months ended December 31, 2022, increased 7% over the prior year on a constant-dollar basis. | ||
Cross-border volume excluding transactions within Europe, which drive our international transaction revenues, increased 31% on a constant-dollar basis for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Total cross-border volume on a constant-dollar basis increased 22% in the quarter. | ||
Total processed transactions, which represent transactions processed by Visa, for the three months ended December 31, 2022, were 52.5 billion, a 10% increase over the prior year. | ||
Fiscal first quarter service revenues were $3.5 billion, an increase of 10% 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 6% over the prior year to $3.8 billion. International transaction revenues grew 29% over the prior year to $2.8 billion. Other revenues of $587 million rose 31% over the prior year. Client incentives, a contra-revenue item, were $2.8 billion and represented 26.0% of gross revenues. | ||
GAAP operating expenses were $2.8 billion for the fiscal first quarter, a 25% increase over the prior year's results, primarily driven by increases in personnel expenses and the litigation provision. GAAP operating expenses included the special item related to the litigation provision associated with the MDL case, the amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-recurring acquisition-related costs in the current and prior year. Excluding these operating expense items, non-GAAP operating expenses increased 15% over the prior year, primarily driven by increases in personnel and general and administrative expenses. | ||
GAAP non-operating expense was $113 million for the fiscal first quarter, including $106 million of net equity investment losses. Excluding this item, non-GAAP non-operating expense was $7 million. | ||
GAAP effective income tax rate was 16.0% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, including the tax impacts from the non-GAAP items. Excluding these items, the non-GAAP effective income tax rate was 16.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates had a tax benefit related to prior years due to the reassessment of an uncertain tax position as a result of new information obtained during an ongoing tax examination. | ||
Cash, cash equivalents and investment securities were $18.9 billion at December 31, 2022. | ||
The weighted-average number of diluted shares of class A common stock outstanding was 2.10 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. | ||
(1) As previously disclosed, in March 2022, we suspended our operations in Russia and therefore our financial highlights from April 2022 through December 2022 do not include Russia-related results. |

On November 17, 2022, Visa announced the appointment of Ryan McInerney as CEO, effective February 1, 2023. Mr. McInerney currently serves as President of Visa, a role he has held since 2013. He will take over as CEO from Alfred F. Kelly, Jr., who has served as the company’s CEO since 2016 and Chairman since 2019. In connection with Mr. McInerney’s appointment, Mr. Kelly will assume the role of Executive Chairman of the Board on February 1, 2023. | ||
On December 15, 2022, Visa repaid $2.25 billion of principal upon maturity of its senior notes. | ||
On December 29, 2022, Visa deposited $350 million into its litigation escrow account, which was previously established under the Company’s U.S. retrospective responsibility plan to insulate the Company and class A shareholders from financial liability for certain litigation cases. This deposit has the same economic effect on earnings per share as repurchasing the Company’s class A common stock as it reduces the as-converted class B common stock share count at a volume weighted average price of $209.14. | ||
During the three months ended December 31, 2022, Visa repurchased 15.6 million shares of class A common stock at an average price of $198.74 per share for $3.1 billion. The Company had $14.0 billion of remaining authorized funds for share repurchase as of December 31, 2022. | ||
On January 24, 2023, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 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 March 1, 2023, to all holders of record as of February 10, 2023. |
Visa’s executive management team will host a live audio webcast beginning at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (2:00 p.m. Pacific Time) today to discuss the financial results and business highlights. All interested parties are invited to listen to the live webcast at investor.visa.com. A replay of the webcast will be available on the Visa Investor Relations website for 30 days.

Visa Inc. Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Results (unaudited) | ||
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 three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded an additional accrual to address claims associated with the interchange multidistrict litigation of $341 million and $145 million, respectively, and related tax benefit of $76 million and $32 million, respectively, 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 rate at which shares of our class B common stock convert into shares of class A common stock. 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, we report 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"). |
