Global Payments Reports Second Quarter Earnings
Further Increases Annual Fiscal 2015 Revenue, Margin and Cash EPS Outlook
Raises Share Repurchase Authorization to $300 Million

ATLANTA, January 8, 2015 -- Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN) today announced results for its fiscal second quarter ended November 30, 2014.

“We are very pleased to deliver another quarter of solid performance across our direct businesses,” said Chief Executive Officer Jeff Sloan. “We also continue to successfully expand our worldwide footprint, one of our key strategies to accelerate growth. During the quarter, we completed the acquisition of Ezidebit, a technology company with direct distribution in Australia and New Zealand and an expanding presence throughout Asia. We also announced an agreement to establish a new joint venture with Bank of the Philippine Islands. This partnership will increase our existing distribution in the highly attractive Philippines market. These transactions help fulfill the vision we set forth in 2012 with the purchase of the minority interest in our then joint venture in Asia.”

Second Quarter 2015 Summary
Revenues grew 10% to $697.3 million, compared to $634.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.
Cash diluted earnings per share1 grew 19% to $1.27, compared to $1.07 in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.
GAAP diluted earnings per share were $1.10, compared to $1.02 in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

2015 Outlook
Cameron Bready, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, “We experienced strong organic revenue growth and margin expansion during the quarter, despite the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, and we continue to see solid performance from our recent acquisitions. Based on these results and our outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year, we are increasing our revenue, margin and cash earnings per share guidance.”


1See Schedule 2 for cash earnings and Schedules 6, 7, and 8 for reconciliations of historical cash earnings to GAAP.




The company is raising its annual fiscal 2015 revenue outlook to $2.75 billion to $2.80 billion, or 8% to 10% growth. In addition, Global Payments is increasing its outlook for annual fiscal 2015 diluted earnings per share on a cash basis to a range of $4.75 to $4.83, reflecting growth of 15% to 17% over fiscal 2014, and annual fiscal 2015 GAAP diluted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $3.99 to $4.07. The company also now expects annual fiscal 2015 core cash operating margins to expand by as much as 50 basis points.

1 Represents insurance proceeds associated with the fiscal 2012 processing system intrusion.

3 Represents adjustments to cost of service to exclude acquisition intangible amortization expense and the related income tax benefit.

We supplemented our reporting of income and the related earnings per share information determined in accordance with GAAP by reporting income and the related earnings per share for the three months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013 on a "cash earnings" basis in this earnings release as a measure to help evaluate performance. In the three months ended November 30, 2014, we calculated income and earnings per share on a cash basis by excluding amounts related to acquisition intangible amortization. In the three months ended November 30, 2013, we calculated income and earnings per share on a cash basis by excluding amounts related to acquisition intangible amortization, the processing system intrusion, one-time charges related to employee termination benefits and a one-time credit related to the gain on the sale of an interest in a business. We exclude these charges in order to more clearly focus on the factors we believe are pertinent to the daily management of our operations. Our income and earnings per share reported on a cash earnings basis should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, income and earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP. Our measures of income and earnings per share on a cash earnings basis reflect management’s judgment of particular items, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

We supplemented our reporting of income and the related earnings per share information determined in accordance with GAAP by reporting income and the related earnings per share for the fiscal years 2015 and 2014 on a "cash earnings" basis in this earnings release as a measure to help evaluate performance. We calculated income and earnings per share on a cash basis by excluding amounts related to acquisition intangible amortization, the processing system intrusion, acceleration of equity awards and other costs associated with the retirement of our former Chairman and CEO, a credit related to the sale of an interest in our Brazil business and a subsequent charge associated with our retained interest, non-cash losses from the retirement of fixed assets, employee termination benefits, resolution of a contract related contingency, costs associated with debt refinancing and HSBC's share of dividends declared by Global Payments Asia-Pacific. We exclude these charges in order to more clearly focus on the factors we believe are pertinent to the daily management of our operations. Our income and earnings per share reported on a cash earnings basis should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, income and earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP. Our measures of income and earnings per share on a cash earnings basis reflect management’s judgment of particular items, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

1 Fiscal 2015 reflects $0.72 of acquisition intangible amortization and $0.04 of one-time charges. Fiscal 2014 reflects acquisition intangible amortization of $0.51, a processing system intrusion credit of ($0.07) and non-recurring items of $0.31. Other non-recurring items include acceleration of equity awards and other costs associated with the retirement of our former Chairman and CEO, a credit related to the sale of an interest in our Brazil business and a subsequent charge associated with our retained interest, non-cash losses from the retirement of fixed assets, employee termination benefits, resolution of a contract related contingency, costs associated with debt refinancing and HSBC's share of dividends declared by Global Payments Asia-Pacific.
