Global Payments Reports Results for Second Quarter 2019 and Increases 2019 Outlook

Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

"We are pleased to report double digit growth this quarter, an acceleration from terrific first quarter results and further validation of our technology-enabled strategies," said Jeff Sloan, Chief Executive Officer. "We also made substantial progress on our landmark partnership with TSYS announced in May, which we now expect to close as early as the beginning of the fourth quarter."

Sloan continued, "Our preliminary integration work with TSYS has reinforced our confidence in the value creation from the transaction, particularly the ability to drive significant revenue enhancements. We believe there are meaningful opportunities that are worldwide in scope across all three of TSYS' business segments. We look forward to a successful closing."

Second Quarter 2019 Summary

  • GAAP revenues were $935.2 million, compared to $833.2 million in the second quarter of 2018; diluted earnings per share were $0.77 compared to $0.68 in the prior year; and operating margin was 23.7% compared to 22.9% in 2018.
  • Adjusted net revenue plus network fees grew 13.4% to $1.114 billion, compared to $982.5 million in 2018.
  • Adjusted earnings per share grew 17.1% to $1.51, compared to $1.29 in 2018.
  • Adjusted operating margin expanded 100 basis points to 32.4%.

2019 Outlook

“We are delighted with our financial results for the second quarter and year-to-date period, which we delivered while simultaneously advancing our transformational merger with TSYS,” stated Cameron Bready, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Our performance positions us well to exceed our expectations for the year, despite facing further incremental headwinds from foreign currency exchange rates.

“We continue to expect adjusted net revenue plus network fees to range from $4.44 billion to $4.49 billion, reflecting growth of 12% to 13%, which includes an incremental headwind of approximately 50 basis points from foreign currency relative to our May guidance. Despite this impact, we are increasing our outlook for adjusted earnings per share to a range of $6.00 to $6.15, reflecting growth of 16% to 18% over 2018, and we now expect adjusted operating margin for 2019 to expand by up to 90 basis points,” Bready concluded.

Capital Allocation

Global Payments’ Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.01 per share payable September 27, 2019 to shareholders of record as of September 13, 2019.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain of the matters discussed in this communication which are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which Global Payments and TSYS operate and beliefs of and assumptions made by Global Payments management and TSYS management, involve uncertainties that could significantly affect the financial condition, results of operations, business plans and the future performance of Global Payments, TSYS or the combined company. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “targeted,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “plans,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying these statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the strategic rationale and financial benefits of the merger transaction, including expected future financial and operating results and the combined company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future — including statements relating to projections of revenue, income or loss, earnings or loss per share, the payment or nonpayment of dividends, capital structure and other financial items; statements of plans and objectives of Global Payments or TSYS or their management or Board of Directors, including those relating to products or services; and statements of future economic performance — are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained, and therefore actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. In addition to factors previously disclosed in Global Payments’ and TSYS’ reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of Global Payments and TSYS to terminate the merger agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Global Payments, TSYS or their respective directors; the ability to obtain regulatory approvals and meet other closing conditions to the merger on a timely basis or at all, including the risk that regulatory approvals required for the merger are not obtained on a timely basis or at all, or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated or that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the transaction; the ability to obtain approval by Global Payments shareholders and TSYS shareholders on the expected terms and schedule; difficulties and delays in integrating the Global Payments and TSYS businesses, including with respect to implementing systems to prevent a material security breach of any internal systems or to successfully manage credit and fraud risks in business units; failing to fully realize anticipated cost savings and other anticipated benefits of the merger when expected or at all; business disruptions from the proposed merger that will harm Global Payments’ or TSYS’ business, including current plans and operations; potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the merger, including as it relates to Global Payments’ or TSYS’ ability to successfully renew existing client contracts on favorable terms or at all and obtain new clients; failing to comply with the applicable requirements of Visa, Mastercard or other payment networks or card schemes or changes in those requirements; the ability of Global Payments or TSYS to retain and hire key personnel; the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations; uncertainty as to the long-term value of the common stock of Global Payments following the merger, including the dilution caused by Global Payments’ issuance of additional shares of its common stock in connection with the transaction; the continued availability of capital and financing following the merger; the business, economic and political conditions in the markets in which Global Payments and TSYS operate; the impact of new or changes in current laws, regulations, credit card association rules or other industry standards, including privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations; and events beyond Global Payments’ or TSYS’ control, such as acts of terrorism.

Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this communication or as of the date they were made, and neither Global Payments nor TSYS undertakes any obligation to update forward-looking statements. For a more detailed discussion of these factors, also see the information under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Global Payments’ and TSYS’ most recent annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and in other documents that the companies file with the SEC, which are available at www.sec.gov.

As for the forward-looking statements that relate to future financial results and other projections, actual results will be different due to the inherent uncertainties of estimates, forecasts and projections and may be better or worse than projected and such differences could be material. Given these uncertainties, you should not place any reliance on these forward-looking statements.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Global Payments supplements revenues, income and EPS information determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP by providing these measures, and other 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 and adjusted net revenue plus network fees more closely reflect the economic benefits to the company's core business and, in the case of adjusted net revenue, 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 net revenue plus network fees, 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, net income and EPS 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 and certain other items specific to each reporting period as more fully described in the accompanying reconciliations in Schedules 6 and 7. Adjusted operating margin is derived by dividing adjusted operating income by adjusted net revenue plus network fees. The tax rate used in determining the net income 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.
