ATLANTA, July 26, 2012 — Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN) today announced results for its fiscal fourth quarter and year ended May 31, 2012.

Chairman and CEO Paul R. Garcia said, “I am pleased that in a challenging year we delivered strong results with revenues of $2.2 billion or 18% growth, and cash earnings per share of $3.53 or 15% growth over prior year. In addition, I am delighted to announce that we recently completed our data intrusion investigation, and we are focused on executing the remediation plan.

“We continue to drive strategies that will produce sustainable long-term growth, so I am pleased to announce that we have signed an agreement to acquire the remaining 44% interest in our merchant services joint venture in Asia-Pacific from HSBC. Lastly, our Board of Directors has authorized a $150 million share repurchase program, which I believe demonstrates our confidence in the company,” Garcia concluded.

¹	See Schedule 2 for Cash Earnings and Schedules 6 and 7 for Reconciliations of Cash Earnings to GAAP.

Fourth Quarter 2012 Summary

Revenues grew 15% to $597.0 million compared to $519.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Cash diluted earnings per share¹ from continuing operations grew 13% to $0.97 compared to $0.86 in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Data Intrusion Investigation

With the completion of our data intrusion investigation, GAAP results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2012 include a pre-tax charge of $84.4 million or $0.68 diluted earnings per share. This charge includes an estimate of charges from the card brands and investigation and remediation expenses. A qualified security assessor is conducting the independent review required to return the company to the lists of PCI compliant service providers.

Agreement to Acquire Remaining Interest in Asia-Pacific Joint Venture

In 2006, Global Payments and HSBC formed a joint venture, Global Payments Asia Pacific Limited, to provide payment processing services to merchants in Asia-Pacific, in which Global Payments’ ownership was 56%. Under the terms of the most recent agreement, Global Payments plans to acquire the remaining 44% ownership interest in this joint venture and will pay HSBC a total of USD$242 million. The company plans to use existing cash and lines of credit to complete the transaction and anticipates the deal will close during the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Assuming an October 1, 2012 close date, the deal is anticipated to be as much as $0.07 accretive to GAAP and cash diluted earnings per share and is included in our fiscal 2013 outlook.

2013 Outlook

For the full-year of fiscal 2013, the company expects annual revenue of $2,360 million to $2,400 million, or 7% to 9% growth over fiscal 2012. The company expects annual fiscal 2013 diluted earnings per share on a cash basis of $3.59 to $3.66, and includes a benefit of as much as $0.07 related to the Asia-Pacific acquisition. This reflects growth of 2% to 4% over fiscal 2012. On a constant currency basis, the company expects revenue to grow 8% to 10% and diluted earnings per share on a cash basis to grow 4% to 6%. Annual fiscal 2013 GAAP diluted earnings per share is expected to be $3.22 to $3.29. These expectations exclude the impact of any potential share repurchases.

David Mangum, Senior Executive Vice President and CFO, stated, “We completed fiscal 2012 with flexibility in our capital structure. As we go forward, our primary priority for capital deployment will

continue to be organic growth and acquisitions as demonstrated by our purchase of the remaining 44% of our Asia-Pacific joint venture, complemented by share repurchases.”

Share Repurchase Authorization

The Board of Directors approved a new $150 million share repurchase authorization of Global Payments’ stock. Under this new program, Global Payments may repurchase shares in the open market or as otherwise may be determined by the company, subject to market conditions, business opportunities, and other factors. The company has no obligation to repurchase shares under this program. This authorization has no expiration date and may be suspended or terminated at any time.

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 May 31, 2012 and 2011 on a "cash earnings" basis in this earnings release as a measure to help evaluate performance. We calculated May 31, 2012 income from continuing operations and earnings per share on a cash basis by excluding costs related to the processing system intrusion, acquisition intangible amortization and one-time charges related to employee termination benefits, two contractual disputes and other immaterial items from our results. We calculated May 31, 2011 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.

We supplement our fiscal 2013 outlook of total revenues and earnings per share information determined in accordance with GAAP by reporting revenues and earnings per share on a “constant currency” basis in this earnings release as a measure to help evaluate performance. We calculated revenues and earnings per share on a constant currency basis by converting our fiscal 2013 expected revenues and expenses at fiscal 2012 exchange rates. We exclude the impact of exchange rate fluctuations in order to more clearly focus on the factors we believe are pertinent to the daily management of our operations, and our management uses constant currency measures to evaluate the impact of operational business decisions. Our revenues and earnings per share reported on a constant currency basis should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, revenues and earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP. Our measures of revenues and earnings per share on a constant currency basis reflect management’s judgment of particular items, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

¹	Reflects current period and forecasted results on a pro forma basis as if foreign currency rates did not change from the comparable prior year period.

²	Reflects the impact of actual and forecasted changes in foreign currency rates from the comparable prior year period.

³	Fiscal 2013 reflects $0.33 of acquisition-related intangibles and $0.04 of non-recurring items. Acquisition-related intangibles accounted for $0.35 in fiscal 2012 and non-recurring items $0.13.

*	Not able to accurately estimate 2013 charges for processing system intrusion, remediation, true-ups, etc. We currently anticipate that such additional costs may be $55 to $65 million in fiscal 2013. We anticipate that may receive additional recoveries up to $28 million.
