The following information is provided to aid in understanding Mastercard’s second quarter 2025 results, versus the year ago period.

•Net revenue increased 17%, or 16% on a currency-neutral basis. This includes a 1 percentage point increase from acquisitions. The remaining increase was attributable to growth in our payment network and our value-added services and solutions.

▪Payment network net revenue increased 13%, as reported and on a currency-neutral basis. Primary drivers of the increase were as follows:

•T3Gross dollar volume growth of 9%, on a local currency basis, to $2.6 trillion.

•T4Cross-border volume growth of 15% on a local currency basis.

•Switched transactions growth of 10%.

This increase in payment network net revenue includes growth in payment network rebates and incentives provided to customers. Payment network rebates and incentives increased 17%, or 16% on a currency-neutral basis, primarily due to an increase in our key drivers as well as new and renewed deals.

▪T5Value-added services and solutions net revenue increased 23%, or 22% on a currency-neutral basis. This includes a 4 percentage point increase from acquisitions. The remaining increase was driven primarily by our security and digital and authentication solutions, and consumer acquisition and engagement services, growth in our underlying key drivers, and pricing.

•Total operating expenses increased 15%. Excluding the impact of Second Quarter Special Items, adjusted operating expenses increased 15%, or 14% on a currency-neutral basis. This includes a 4 percentage point increase from acquisitions. The remaining increase was primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses.

•Other income (expense) was unfavorable $8 million versus the year ago period, primarily due to increased interest expense related to our debt portfolio, partially offset by net gains in the current period versus net losses in the prior period on our equity investments and increased investment income. Excluding the impact of net gains and losses on our equity investments, adjusted other income (expense) was unfavorable $25 million versus the year ago period.

•T6The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 was 20.8%, versus 17.3% for the comparable period in 2024. The adjusted effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 was 20.9%, versus 17.5% for the comparable period in 2024. Both the as-reported and as-adjusted effective tax rates were higher in 2025 primarily due to the 15% global minimum tax (“Pillar 2 Rules”) that took effect in 2025 in Singapore and various other jurisdictions. The Pillar 2 Rules primarily offset the reduction to our effective tax rate resulting from our incentive grant received from the Singapore Ministry of Finance.

•As of June 30, 2025, the company’s customers had issued 3.6 billion Mastercard and Maestro-branded cards.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Non-GAAP financial information is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Mastercard discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating margin, adjusted other income (expense), adjusted effective income tax rate, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share (as well as related applicable growth rates versus the comparable period in the prior year). As described more fully below, these non-GAAP financial measures exclude, where applicable, the impact of gains and losses on the company’s equity investments, which includes mark-to-market fair value adjustments, impairments and gains and losses upon disposition, as well as the related tax impacts.

These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude, where applicable, the impact of special items, which represent litigation judgments and settlements and/or certain one-time items, as well as the related tax impacts.

In addition, the company presents growth rates adjusted for the impact of currency, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Currency-neutral growth rates are calculated by remeasuring the prior period’s results using the current period’s exchange rates for both the translational and transactional impacts on operating results. The impact of currency translation represents the effect of translating operating results where the functional currency is different from the company’s U.S. dollar reporting currency. The impact of the transactional currency represents the effect of converting revenue and expenses occurring in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity. The impact of the related realized gains and losses resulting from the company’s foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments (specifically those that manage the impact of foreign currency variability on anticipated revenues and expenses) is recognized in the respective financial statement line item on the statements of operations when the underlying forecasted transactions impact earnings.

The translational and transactional impact of currency and the related impact of the company’s foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments as specified above have been excluded from the company’s currency-neutral growth rates.

The company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented facilitate an understanding of operating performance and provide a meaningful comparison of its results between periods. The company’s management uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its ongoing operations in relation to historical results, for internal planning and forecasting purposes and in the calculation of performance-based compensation, among other things. The company excluded these items because management evaluates the underlying operations and performance of the company separately from these recurring and nonrecurring items. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon as substitutes for the company’s measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The company includes reconciliations of the requisite non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the non-GAAP reconciliation tables below.

Footnote

The tables set forth the gross dollar volume (“GDV”), purchase volume, cash volume and the number of purchase transactions, cash transactions and cards on a regional and global basis for Mastercard™-branded cards. Growth rates over prior periods are provided for volume-based data.

Debit transactions on Maestro® and Cirrus®-branded cards and transactions involving brands other than Mastercard are not included in the preceding tables.

For purposes of the table: GDV represents purchase volume plus cash volume and includes the impact of balance transfers and convenience checks; “purchase volume” means the aggregate dollar amount of purchases made with Mastercard-branded cards for the relevant period; and “cash volume” means the aggregate dollar amount of cash disbursements and includes the impact of balance transfers and convenience checks obtained with Mastercard-branded cards for the relevant period. The number of cards includes virtual cards, which are Mastercard-branded payment accounts that do not generally have physical cards associated with them.

The Mastercard payment products are comprised of credit, charge, debit and prepaid programs, and data relating to each type of program is included in the tables. The tables include information with respect to transactions involving Mastercard-branded cards that are not switched by Mastercard and transactions for which Mastercard does not earn significant revenues.

Information denominated in U.S. dollars is calculated by applying an established U.S. dollar/local currency exchange rate for each local currency in which Mastercard volumes are reported. These exchange rates are calculated on a quarterly basis using the average exchange rate for each quarter. Mastercard reports period-over-period rates of change in purchase volume and cash volume on the basis of local currency information, in order to eliminate the impact of changes in the value of currencies against the U.S. dollar in calculating such rates of change.

The data set forth in the GDV, purchase volume, purchase transactions, cash volume and cash transactions columns is provided by Mastercard customers and is subject to verification by Mastercard and partial cross-checking against information provided by Mastercard’s transaction switching systems. The data set forth in the cards columns is provided by Mastercard customers and is subject to certain limited verification by Mastercard. A portion of the data set forth in the cards columns reflects the impact of routine portfolio changes among customers and other practices that may lead to over counting of the underlying data in certain circumstances. All data is subject to revision and amendment by Mastercard or Mastercard’s customers.

Performance information for prior periods can be found in the Investor Relations section of the Mastercard website at investor.mastercard.com.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
