Insights

The Q3 results showcase a mixed performance with notable highlights. The $2.36 billion adjusted net revenue growth of 6% and adjusted EPS increase of 12% to $3.08 demonstrate resilient business fundamentals. The strategic sale of AdvancedMD and $600 million accelerated share repurchase plan signal proactive portfolio management.

The adjusted operating margin expansion of 40 basis points to 46.1% is particularly impressive given the challenging macro environment. The reduction in net leverage to 3.3x and maintained full-year guidance of 6-7% revenue growth suggests strong financial discipline and operational stability.

The increased share repurchase authorization to $2.5 billion and quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share reflect management's confidence in future cash flow generation and commitment to shareholder returns.

Bready continued, “We are making substantial progress on the broad transformation agenda we detailed at our Investor Conference in September. We have refocused our strategy and are unifying our organization across assets and go-to-market activities, allowing us to unleash our full potential and play to our competitive strengths. I remain confident that our efforts to streamline and simplify our business will unlock substantial value and support sustainable growth well into the future, as we relentlessly pursue our ambition to be the worldwide partner of choice for commerce solutions.”

Bready concluded, “Consistent with these efforts, we have reached a definitive agreement to sell AdvancedMD to Francisco Partners. In connection with this sale, we also established a long-term commercial partnership with AdvancedMD, whereby we will continue to work together to deliver leading payments and commerce enablement solutions to its customers. This transaction further highlights the high quality assets in our portfolio and allows us to enhance value creation for shareholders. We expect this sale to close in the fourth quarter.”

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 our Netspend business, which comprised our former 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.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, net revenue adjustments also included $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, to eliminate the effect of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments for software-related contract liabilities associated with acquired businesses.

 

 

(2)

(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. In addition, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, income taxes on adjustments include the removal of tax expense related to business dispositions.

Adjustments to COS included amortization of acquired intangibles of $986.0 million and other items of $2.7 million. Adjustments to SG&A included share-based compensation expense of $173.3 million, acquisition, integration and separation expenses of $336.4 million, facilities exit charges of $15.0 million, employee termination benefits of $31.5 million, and other items of $5.4 million. Earnings adjustments to operating income also included the $139.1 million loss on business dispositions.

 

 

 

Acquisition, integration and separation expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included $93.6 million related to our divested consumer business. These incremental expenses, which include card and marketing expenses, compensation and benefit expenses, and other expenses, were incurred as a result of contractual obligations with the purchasers of the consumer business and do not reflect the manner in which the company would have operated the business and would not have otherwise been incurred absent the transaction.

 

 

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, earnings adjustments to net income also included an allowance for current expected credit losses (CECL) of $18.2 million within interest and other expense related to the seller financing issued in connection with the business dispositions.

 

 

(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. In addition, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, income taxes on adjustments include the removal of tax expense related to business dispositions.

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 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 EPS and adjusted free cash flow should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, revenues, operating income, EPS and net operating cash flows 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. 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.

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 in business divestitures, business transformation activities, and certain other items specific to each reporting period as more fully described in the accompanying reconciliations in Schedules 6 and 7. 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.

Adjusted operating margin is derived by dividing adjusted operating income by adjusted net revenue.

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.
