Enters Agreement to Purchase EVO Payments

Silver Lake Commits Strategic Investment

Executes Agreement to Sell Netspend Consumer Assets

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“Our second quarter performance was the best in our history and exceeded our expectations despite incremental challenges throughout the period,” said Jeff Sloan, Chief Executive Officer. “Our Merchant and Issuer businesses both exceeded our targets, with our Issuer business delivering significant sequential improvement as expected. And we achieved this performance while further aligning our business with our strategy, expanding our unique partnerships, extending our lead and deepening our competitive moat.”

“We made substantial progress on our strategy during the quarter. First, we are delighted to announce we have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire EVO Payments for $4.0 billion, significantly increasing our target addressable markets, enhancing our leadership in integrated payments worldwide, expanding our presence in new and further scaling in existing faster growth geographies, and augmenting our business-to-business (or B2B) software and payment solutions.”

“Second, we are thrilled to announce that Silver Lake, the global leader in technology investing, has committed a $1.5 billion long-term strategic investment in Global Payments in the form of convertible senior notes. Silver Lake has an outstanding track record of successful investments in technology-driven companies, and we are humbled by their confidence in us as a winner in the digital payments space. This new partnership serves as further proof of the distinctiveness of our model, provides more evidence of the success of our disruptive role in the payments ecosystem, and positions us as a leading driver and beneficiary of innovation in payments for many years to come.”

“Third, we made significant progress in refining our portfolio to focus on our core corporate clients this quarter by entering into a definitive agreement to sell Netspend’s consumer assets to Searchlight Capital and Rev Worldwide for $1.0 billion. Consistent with our strategy, we will retain Netspend’s B2B assets, which will be included in our Issuer Solutions business beginning with the third quarter of 2022.”

Sloan concluded, “The completion of these important transactions will provide us with enhanced confidence in the raised growth and margin targets over the cycle that we articulated at our investor conference last September. Upon closing, Merchant Solutions will represent approximately 75% of our adjusted net revenue with Issuer Solutions, including B2B, comprising roughly 25%.”

Second Quarter 2022 Summary

• GAAP revenues were $2.28 billion, compared to $2.14 billion in the second quarter of 2021; diluted (loss) earnings per share were $(2.42) compared to $0.89 in the prior year; and operating margin was (23.0)% compared to 17.0% in the prior year.
• Adjusted net revenues increased 6.1% to $2.06 billion, compared to $1.94 billion in the second quarter of 2021; excluding the Netspend consumer assets, now classified as held for sale, adjusted net revenue increased 9.0%.
• Adjusted earnings per share increased 15.7% to $2.36, compared to $2.04 in the second quarter of 2021.
• Adjusted operating margin expanded 200 basis points to 43.8%; excluding the Netspend consumer assets, adjusted operating margin was 45.3%.

2022 Outlook

“We are pleased with our strong financial performance in the second quarter, which exceeded our expectations despite ongoing macro concerns, the exit of our Russian business and incremental headwinds from adverse foreign currency exchange rates,” said Josh Whipple, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “On a constant currency basis, we achieved high-single-digit adjusted net revenue growth, expanded adjusted operating margins meaningfully and delivered high-teens adjusted earnings per share growth driven by consistent execution of our technology-enabled strategy.”

“For 2022, we expect constant currency adjusted net revenue before dispositions in a range of $8.48 billion to $8.55 billion, reflecting growth of 10% to 11% over 2021 and consistent with our prior outlook. Further, adjusted earnings per share on a constant currency basis are expected to be in a range of $9.53 to $9.75, reflecting growth of 17% to 20% over 2021 and consistent with our prior outlook. Also, we are raising our expectation for adjusted operating margin expansion to up to 150 basis points, an increase from the prior outlook of up to 125 basis points.”

“Our 2022 outlook presumes continuing recovery from the pandemic worldwide and a stable global macroeconomic environment throughout the remainder of this calendar year.”

Whipple concluded, “We expect the acquisition of EVO Payments and the disposition of Netspend’s consumer business to close in the first quarter of 2023, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of customary closing conditions.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Global Payments supplements revenues, income (loss), operating income (loss), operating margin and earnings (loss) 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 planned divestiture of the consumer portion of our Business and Consumer Solutions segment and the realignment of the retained business-to-business portion of the Business and Consumer Solutions segment to the Issuer Solutions segment that we anticipate will take place during the third quarter of 2022. 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.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Global Payments supplements revenues, income (loss), operating income (loss), operating margin and earnings (loss) 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 (loss), net income (loss) and earnings (loss) 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 and integration expense, the effect of any goodwill impairment charges and gain or losses on business dispositions, and certain other items specific to each reporting period as more fully described in the accompanying reconciliations in Schedules 8 or 9. Adjusted operating margin is derived by dividing adjusted operating income by adjusted net revenue. Adjusted net revenue and adjusted EPS range on a constant currency basis excludes the estimated impact of foreign currency fluctuations and is calculated using average exchange rates during the comparable period in 2021. Constant currency adjusted EPS outlook for 2022 excludes the effect of any goodwill impairment charges and business dispositions. 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 reflects the planned divestiture of the consumer portion of our Business and Consumer Solutions segment and the realignment of the retained business-to-business portion of the Business and Consumer Solutions segment to the Issuer Solutions segment that we anticipate will take place during the third quarter of 2022. Management believes that providing such supplemental financial information should enhance shareholders’ ability to evaluate how the business will be managed going forward.
