Global Payments Reports Second Quarter Earnings

ATLANTA, January 5, 2012 -- Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN) today announced results for its fiscal second quarter ended November 30, 2011. For the second quarter, revenues grew 20% to $530.5 million compared to $443.5 million in the prior fiscal year. Cash earnings per share grew 13% to $0.86 compared to $0.76 in the prior year (See Schedule 2 for Cash Earnings). On a GAAP basis, the company reported fiscal 2012 second quarter diluted earnings per share of $0.78 compared to $0.67 in the prior year (See Schedule 1 for GAAP Consolidated Statements of Income).

GAAP and cash earnings per share results include approximately $15 million of revenue and nearly $0.02 of earnings per share related to debit interchange legislation with corresponding unfavorable impact on operating margin.

Chairman and CEO Paul R. Garcia stated, “We delivered solid second quarter results driven by continued steady performances in all of our businesses and the December 2010 addition of Spain. I am also pleased to announce three targeted merchant portfolio acquisitions which will expand our international footprint and U.S. ecommerce presence. First, we increased our distribution in Russia by acquiring a merchant business with more than 6,000 merchants from Alfa-Bank. Secondly, we have agreed to acquire HSBC’s merchant business in Malta consisting of nearly 4,000 merchants, which is pending regulatory approval, and thirdly we have signed an agreement to acquire CyberSource’s U.S. merchant acquiring portfolio from Visa.

“I am pleased to note that we continue to expect overall total company cash margin expansion of as much as 50 basis points in fiscal 2012 excluding the effect of recent debit legislation and the acquisitions,” continued Mr. Garcia.

David E. Mangum, Senior Executive Vice President and CFO, stated, “Including the effect of the debit legislation as well as the three recent acquisitions, we are increasing our annual revenue expectations for fiscal 2012 to $2,150 million to $2,200 million, or 16% to 18% growth over fiscal 2011. We are also increasing fiscal 2012 diluted earnings per share expectations on a cash basis to a range of $3.50 to $3.58, reflecting 14% to 16% growth over fiscal 2011 and annual fiscal 2012 GAAP diluted earnings per share to $3.14 to $3.22, reflecting 20% to 23% growth over the prior year.” (See Schedule 9 for Outlook Summary.)

Cash earnings exclude normalized adjustments and acquisition intangible amortization expense from continuing operations. (See Schedule 6 and 7 for Reconciliations of Cash Earnings to GAAP, Schedule 2 for Cash Earnings and Schedule 3 for Segment Information on GAAP and Cash Earnings).

¹ Represents adjustments to cost of service to exclude acquisition intangible amortization expense from continuing operations and the related income tax benefit.

²Reflects expenses of start-up costs related to our new Global Service Center in Manila, Philippines and employee termination and relocation benefits and the related income tax benefits.

We supplemented our reporting of income from continuing operations and the related earnings per share information determined in accordance with GAAP by reporting income from continuing operations and the related earnings per share for the three months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010 on a “cash earnings” basis in this earnings release as a measure to help evaluate performance. We calculated November 30, 2011 income from continuing operations and earnings per share on a cash basis by excluding acquisition intangible amortization from our results. We calculated November 30, 2010 income from continuing operations and earnings per share on a cash basis by excluding charges related to employee termination and relocation benefits, certain one-time costs related to our Global Service Center, and acquisition intangible amortization from our results. 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 from continuing operations and earnings per share reported on a cash earnings basis should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, income from continuing operations and earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP. Our measures of income from continuing operations 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.
