Fiscal Third Quarter 2026 — Financial Highlights

GAAP net income in the fiscal third quarter was $5.6 billion or $2.97 per share, an increase of 7% and 10%, respectively, over prior year’s results. T3Current year's results included special items of $563 million for severance costs, $T4237 million for a litigation provision associated with the interchange multidistrict litigation ("MDL") case and $18 million for a deferred tax benefit recognized due to a change in the U.S. taxation of certain foreign earnings. Current year's results also included $9 million of net losses from equity investments and $78 million from the amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related costs. Prior year's results included a special item of $615 million for a litigation provision associated with the MDL case and other legal matters, $35 million of net losses from equity investments and $73 million from the amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related costs.

Excluding these items and related tax impacts, non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $6.3 billion or $3.32 per share, increases of 8% and 11%, respectively, over prior year’s results (refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details). GAAP earnings per share increase was approximately 9% on a constant-dollar basis, which excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar. Non-GAAP earnings per share growth was approximately 11% on a constant-dollar basis. All references to earnings per share assume fully diluted class A share count.

Net revenue in the fiscal third quarter was $11.6 billion, an increase of 14%, driven by the year-over-year growth in payments volume, cross-border volume and processed transactions. Net revenue increased 13% on a constant-dollar basis.

Payments volume for the three months ended March 31, 2026, on which fiscal third quarter service revenue is recognized, increased 9% over the prior year on a constant-dollar basis.

Payments volume for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased 10% over the prior year on a constant-dollar basis.

Cross-border volume excluding transactions within Europe, which drives our international transaction revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, increased 12% on a constant-dollar basis over the prior year. Total cross-border volume on a constant-dollar basis increased 13% over the prior year.

Total processed transactions, which represent transactions processed by Visa, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, were 71.7 billion, a 10% increase over the prior year.

Fiscal third quarter service revenue was $4.9 billion, an increase of 14% over the prior year, and is recognized based on payments volume in the prior quarter. All other revenue categories are recognized based on current quarter activity. Data processing revenue rose 17% over the prior year to $6.0 billion. International transaction revenue grew 6% over the prior year to $3.9 billion. T5Other revenue of $1.5 billion rose 45% over the prior year. Client incentives were $4.7 billion, up 18% over the prior year.

GAAP operating expenses were $4.8 billion for the fiscal third quarter, a 19% increase over the prior year's results, primarily driven by an increase in personnel expenses. GAAP operating expenses included the special items as well as the amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related costs in the current and prior year. Excluding these items, non-GAAP operating expenses increased 17% over the prior year, primarily driven by increases in marketing and personnel expenses.

GAAP non-operating expense was $44 million for the fiscal third quarter, including $9 million of net equity investment losses. Excluding this item, non-GAAP non-operating expense was $35 million.

GAAP effective income tax rate was 17.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Excluding the special item related to the deferred tax benefit and the related tax impacts from the non-GAAP items, the non-GAAP effective income tax rate was 18.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Cash, cash equivalents and investment securities were $13.9 billion at June 30, 2026.

The weighted-average number of diluted shares of class A common stock outstanding was 1.90 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Other Notable Items

On May 12, 2026, Visa settled its previously announced exchange offer for class B-1 common stock and class B-2 common stock (together, "eligible class B common stock"). The exchange offer allowed each participating holder of eligible class B common stock to exchange their shares of eligible class B common stock for a combination of Visa's class B-3 common stock, Visa's class C common stock and, where applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares.

On June 25, 2026, Visa deposited $250 million into its litigation escrow account, which was previously established under the Company’s U.S. retrospective responsibility plan to insulate the Company and class A common stockholders from financial liability for certain litigation cases. This deposit has the same economic effect on earnings per share as repurchasing the Company's class A common stock as it reduced each of the as-converted class B-1 common stock, class B-2 common stock and class B-3 common stock share counts at a volume-weighted average price of $333.42.

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, Visa repurchased approximately 14.5 million shares of class A common stock at an average cost of $330.71 per share for $4.9 billion. The Company had $28.4 billion of remaining authorized funds for share repurchases as of June 30, 2026.

On July 28, 2026, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.670 per share of class A common stock (determined in the case of all other outstanding common and preferred stock on an as-converted basis) payable on September 1, 2026, to all holders of record as of August 11, 2026.

Visa Non-GAAP Financial Measures (unaudited)

We use non-GAAP financial measures of our performance which exclude certain items which we believe are not representative of our continuing operations, as they may be non-recurring or have no cash impact, and may distort our longer-term operating trends. Constant-dollar financial measures are calculated by using a fixed current year U.S. dollar/foreign currency exchange rate for each local currency for the current and prior year periods, which eliminates the impact of foreign currency transactions in measuring financial performance. We consider non-GAAP measures useful to investors because they provide greater transparency into management’s view and assessment of our ongoing operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon as substitutes for, or considered in isolation from, measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We exclude the following from our GAAP financial results to arrive at our non-GAAP financial results:

•Gains and losses on equity investments. Gains and losses on equity investments include periodic non-cash fair value adjustments and gains and losses upon sale of an investment. These long-term investments are strategic in nature and are primarily private company investments. Gains and losses associated with these investments are tied to the performance of the companies that we invest in and therefore do not correlate to the underlying performance of our business.

•Amortization of acquired intangible assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets such as technology and customer relationships acquired in connection with business combinations executed beginning in fiscal 2019. Amortization charges for our acquired intangible assets are non-cash and are significantly affected by the timing, frequency and size of our acquisitions, rather than our core operations. As such, we have excluded this amount to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to our past operating performance.

•Acquisition-related costs. Acquisition-related costs consist primarily of one-time transaction and integration costs associated with our business combinations. These costs include professional fees, technology integration fees, restructuring activities and other direct costs related to the purchase and integration of acquired entities. These costs also include retention equity and deferred compensation when they are agreed upon as part of the purchase price of the transaction but are required to be recognized as expense post-combination. We have excluded these amounts as the expenses are recognized for a limited duration and do not reflect the underlying performance of our business.

•Litigation provision. Litigation provision includes significant accruals related to certain legal matters that are not covered by the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan or the Europe retrospective responsibility plan (uncovered legal matters) and additional accruals associated with the interchange multidistrict litigation which are covered by the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan (U.S. covered litigation). Litigation provision associated with these matters can vary significantly based on the facts and circumstances related to each matter and do not correlate to the underlying performance of our business. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we have excluded these amounts to facilitate a comparison to our past operating performance.

•Deferred tax benefit. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded a deferred tax benefit within income tax provision due to a change in the U.S. taxation of certain foreign earnings. We have excluded this one-time non-cash benefit as it is not representative of our ongoing operations.

•Severance costs. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, and nine months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded severance costs within personnel expense resulting from actions taken to drive operational efficiencies and reinvest in high-growth opportunities. These costs have been excluded as they are not representative of our ongoing operations.

•Lease consolidation costs. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a charge within general and administrative expense associated with the consolidation of certain leased office spaces. We have excluded this amount as it does not reflect the underlying performance of our business.
