Establishes Growth Targets for 2023

Expects to Complete Acquisition of EVO Payments no later than March 31

Netspend Consumer Divestiture On Track to Close by end of First Quarter

Executes Agreement to Sell Gaming Solutions Business



ATLANTA -- Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN) today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

"We delivered strong results for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, highlighting consistent execution across market cycles,” said Jeff Sloan, Chief Executive Officer. "For the fourth quarter, our Merchant business delivered 9% adjusted net revenue growth (excluding dispositions) and our Issuer business delivered 5% adjusted net revenue growth, each on a foreign exchange neutral (FXN) basis relative to the prior year. Notably, our core Issuer business accelerated sequentially in the fourth quarter to produce its best performance since our merger with TSYS in 2019.

“For calendar 2022, our Merchant business delivered 13% adjusted net revenue growth (excluding dispositions) and our Issuer business delivered 5% adjusted net revenue growth, each on a FXN basis. For the year, we produced 10% adjusted net revenue growth (FXN and excluding dispositions), expanded adjusted margins by 190 basis points and delivered 17% adjusted earnings per share growth (on a FXN basis), consistent with our September 2021 cycle guidance despite the incremental challenges of the macroeconomic environment.”

Sloan continued, “We also made great progress on our strategy in 2022. First, we look forward to closing our acquisition of EVO Payments no later than the end of March as anticipated. The transaction will significantly increase our target addressable markets, enhance our leadership in integrated payments worldwide, expand our presence in new and provide further scale in existing faster growth geographies, and augment our business-to-business software and payment solutions.

“Second, we remain on track to close the divestiture of Netspend’s consumer business by the end of the first quarter. Third, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Gaming Solutions business to Parthenon Capital Partners for $415 million, which is consistent with our efforts to refine our portfolio to focus on our corporate clients and away from consumer centric businesses.

“Fourth and finally, we effectively balanced capital investment with return of capital to our shareholders. Through stock repurchases and dividends, we returned over $3 billion in 2022. And we welcomed Silver Lake, the global leader in technology investing, to our base of investors.”

Sloan concluded, “These transactions further our strategic objectives, simplify our businesses and provide us with enhanced confidence in our growth and margin targets over the cycle. Each of our primary businesses is growing at attractive rates with improved margin profiles.”

GAAP revenues were $2.25 billion, compared to $2.19 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021; diluted earnings per share were $0.94 compared to $0.72 in the prior year; and operating margin was 18.1% compared to 14.6% in the prior year.

“We achieved strong financial performance in the fourth quarter and for the full year, which highlights the durability of our business model and consistent execution of our technology-enabled strategy,” said Josh Whipple, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We remain well positioned from a financial and operating perspective as we enter 2023.

“Looking ahead, the company expects adjusted net revenue to be in a range of $8.575 billion to $8.675 billion, reflecting growth of 6% to 7% over 2022, and adjusted earnings per share to be in a range of $10.25 to $10.37, reflecting growth of 10% to 11% over 2022 (15% to 16% excluding dispositions). Annual adjusted operating margin for 2023 is expected to expand by up to 120 basis points.

“Our 2023 outlook reflects the closings of the acquisition of EVO Payments, the divestiture of Netspend’s consumer business and the sale of Gaming Solutions in each case by the end of the first quarter.”

Whipple concluded, “We presume a stable worldwide macroeconomic backdrop throughout calendar year 2023.”

Capital Allocation
Global Payments’ Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.25 per share payable March 31, 2023 to shareholders of record as of March 17, 2023. Our Board of Directors has also reauthorized up to $1.5 billion of share repurchase capacity.

Conference Call
Global Payments’ management will host a live audio webcast today, February 10, 2023, at 8:00 a.m. EDT to discuss financial results and business highlights.

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. The constant currency growth measures adjust for the impact of exchange rates and are calculated using average exchange rates during the comparable period in the prior year.

Global Payments also has provided supplemental non-GAAP information to reflect the pending divestiture of the consumer portion of the Consumer Solutions segment. 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, net revenue adjustments also included $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, to eliminate the effect of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments for software-related contract liabilities associated with acquired businesses. Adjustments for the three months ended December 31, 2022 also included a $5.9 million adjustment to exclude revenues that were associated with certain excluded expenses of our consumer business, which is classified as assets held for sale on our balance sheet, as noted in footnote 2 below.

(2)For the three months ended December 31, 2022, earnings adjustments to operating income included $302.1 million in cost of services (COS) and $195.8 million in selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A).

(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.

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 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, net income and earnings 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, integration and separation expense, goodwill impairment charges and gain or losses on business divestitures, and certain other items specific to each reporting period as more fully described in the accompanying reconciliations in Schedules 6 to 9. Adjusted operating margin is derived by dividing adjusted operating income by adjusted net revenue. The constant currency growth measures adjust for the impact of exchange rates and are calculated using average exchange rates during the comparable period in the prior year. 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 pending divestiture of our consumer business. Management believes that providing such supplemental financial information should enhance shareholders’ ability to evaluate how the business will be managed going forward.
