| MasterCard Incorporated Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2008 Financial Results |
| PURCHASE, N.Y., Feb 05, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- - Fourth-quarter net income of $243 million, or $1.87 per diluted share, excluding a special item
- Fourth-quarter net income of $239 million, or $1.84 per diluted share, including a special item - Fourth-quarter net revenue growth of 14.2%, to $1.2 billion - Fourth-quarter gross dollar volume up 3.4%; purchase volume up 3.1% MasterCard Incorporated (NYSE: MA) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2008. The company reported net income of $243 million, or $1.87 per diluted share, excluding a special item of $6 million related to a litigation settlement. Including the special item, the company reported net income of $239 million, or $1.84 per diluted share. The company's total operating expenses, operating margin, other income, effective tax rate, net income and earnings per share, excluding special items, are non-GAAP financial measures that are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the accompanying financial tables. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20061031/MCLOGO ) Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $1.2 billion, a 14.2% increase versus the same period in 2007. Currency fluctuations (driven by movement of the euro and the Brazilian real relative to the U.S. dollar) tempered net revenue growth by 3.5 percentage points for the quarter. The higher net revenue in the fourth quarter versus the same period in 2007 was fueled by:
-- Pricing changes, which contributed approximately 8 percentage points of
the net revenue growth; and
-- A 6.0% increase in the number of transactions processed, to 5.5 billion.
MasterCard's gross dollar volume increased 3.4%, on a local currency basis, to $605 billion. Worldwide purchase volume during the quarter rose 3.1% on a local currency basis, versus the fourth quarter of 2007, to $455 billion, driven by modest growth in cardholder spending on a growing number of MasterCard cards. As of December 31, 2008, the company's financial-institution customers had issued 981 million MasterCard cards, an increase of 7.6% over the cards issued at December 31, 2007. "Despite the significant economic turbulence around the world, we were able to achieve excellent fourth-quarter operating results while maintaining a healthy balance sheet, which is a strength in this environment," said Robert W. Selander, MasterCard president and chief executive officer. "Our 2008 full-year results reflect our unique business model and the value we provide to our financial-institution customers around the world." Selander stated, "We remain committed to taking a prudent approach to our business to ensure effective cost management, while opportunistically investing to drive long-term growth for MasterCard and deliver value to our customers and shareholders. Our recent organizational realignment and our acquisition of Orbiscom, a leading payments solutions software provider, reflect that approach. "The economic environment remains challenging, with businesses, governments and consumers around the world rethinking how finances are managed. One thing is certain in this new reality of increased financial management control --- the value and importance of electronic payments has never been greater," concluded Selander. The special item for the fourth quarter of 2008 represented:
-- A $6 million charge related to the settlement of a consumer protection
case in California.
There were no special items for the fourth quarter of 2007. Excluding the special item, total operating expenses decreased 16.0%, to $756 million, during the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Currency fluctuations of 2.0 percentage points contributed to the rate of decline for total operating expenses. The decrease in total operating expenses was driven by:
-- A 3.4% decrease in general and administrative expenses, primarily
resulting from initiatives to reduce travel expenses, personnel costs
and professional fees. Currency fluctuations representing approximately
2.0 percentage points contributed to the rate of decline; and
-- A 32.8% decrease in advertising and marketing expenses versus the
year-ago period, with approximately 1.9 percentage points related to the
impact of foreign currency fluctuations contributing to the rate of
decline.
Including the special item, total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2008 decreased 15.3% versus the year-ago period, to $762 million. Excluding the special item, the operating margin was 38.2% for the fourth quarter of 2008, up 22.2 percentage points over the year-ago period. Including the special item, the operating margin was 37.7% for the fourth quarter of 2008. Total other expense was $17 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 versus total other income of $295 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. The decrease was primarily due to gains realized in the fourth quarter of 2007 from the sale of a portion of the company's investment in Redecard S.A. Interest expense versus the year-ago period increased $21 million, primarily due to the interest accretion associated with the American Express settlement that occurred in the second quarter of 2008. Excluding the special item, MasterCard's effective tax rate was 46.1% in the fourth quarter of 2008, versus 34.9% in the comparable period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to deferred tax remeasurement and increased FIN 48 tax reserves. Including the special item, the effective tax rate was 46.2% for the fourth quarter of 2008. Full-Year 2008 Results For the year-ended December 31, 2008, MasterCard reported net income of $1.2 billion, or $9.45 per diluted share, excluding the impact of special items, and a net loss of $254 million, or $1.95 per diluted share, including special items. Both earnings per share figures include after-tax gains from the sale of a portion of the company's investment in Redecard S.A. of $0.42 per share on a diluted basis. Special items on a pre-tax basis for the full-year 2008 included:
-- A $1.65 billion charge related to the antitrust litigation settlement
between MasterCard and American Express;
-- An $827.5 million net charge related to the Discover litigation
settlement;
-- A $75 million gain in other income from the termination of a customer
business agreement; and
-- A $6 million charge related to the settlement of a consumer protection
case in California.
Special items on a pre-tax basis for full-year 2007 included:
-- $90 million in other income related to a settlement received under an
agreement to discontinue the company's sponsorship of the 2010 and
2014 World Cup soccer events; and
-- A $3.4 million reserve recorded for a litigation settlement.
Net revenue for full-year 2008 was $5.0 billion, a 22.7% increase versus 2007. In addition to growth in GDV, processed transactions and cross-border transaction volumes, this increase was driven by pricing changes of approximately 6 percentage points, primarily associated with the cross-border transaction pricing implemented in 2008. Currency fluctuation contributed approximately 2.5 percentage points of the increase in revenue. Excluding special items for both periods, total operating expenses increased 2.9%, to $3.0 billion, for full-year 2008 compared to 2007, primarily due to higher personnel expenses. Currency fluctuations contributed 1.7 percentage points of this increase. Growth in total operating expenses was driven by:
-- An increase in general and administrative expenses, which was primarily
driven by an 11.6% increase in personnel expenses due to new personnel
and higher contractor costs. Currency fluctuations represented
approximately 1.4 percentage points of the increase; and
-- Advertising and marketing expenses, which decreased 5.8% versus
full-year 2007 due to cost-containment activities, partially offset by
approximately 2.0 percentage points related to the impact of foreign
currency fluctuations.
Including special items, operating expenses increased 86.7%, to $5.5 billion. Excluding special items, the operating margin was 39.0% for full-year 2008, up 11.7 percentage points over the year-ago period. Including special items, the operating margin was a negative 10.7% for full-year 2008. Total other income was $76 million for full-year 2008 versus $473 million for the same period in 2007, excluding special items in both periods. Other income decreased due to larger gains recorded in 2007 from the sale of Redecard securities. Additionally, interest expense versus the year-ago period increased $46 million, primarily due to the interest accretion associated with the 2008 American Express settlement. Including special items, total other income was $151 million for full-year 2008 and $563 million for full-year 2007. MasterCard's effective tax rate, excluding litigation settlements, was 38.7% for the full-year 2008, versus a rate of 35.0% for the full-year 2007. The increase was primarily due to deferred tax remeasurement and increased FIN 48 tax reserves. Including the litigation settlements, the effective tax rate was 33.7% for 2008 and 35.0% for 2007.

Note that columns in the tables above may not add due to rounding; growth represents change from the comparable year-ago period.
Footnote The tables set forth the gross dollar volume ("GDV"), purchase volume, cash volume and the number of purchase transactions, cash transactions, accounts, cards and acceptance locations on a regional and global basis for MasterCard(R)-branded and MasterCard Electronic(TM)-branded cards. Growth rates over prior periods are provided for volume-based data. Debit transactions on Maestro(R) and Cirrus(R)-branded cards, Mondex(R) transactions 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 obtained with MasterCard-branded cards for the relevant period. The number of cards includes virtual cards, which are MasterCard-branded payment accounts in connection with which functional cards are not generally issued. Acceptance locations include merchant locations, ATMs and other locations where cash may be obtained. The MasterCard payment product is comprised of credit, charge and debit programs, and data relating to each type of program is included in the tables. Debit programs include MasterCard-branded debit programs where the primary means of cardholder validation at the point of sale is for cardholders either to sign a sales receipt or enter a PIN. The tables include information with respect to transactions involving MasterCard-branded cards that are not processed 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 foreign 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 processing systems. The data set forth in the accounts and 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 accounts and 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. In order to provide a true indication of how broadly our cards can be used, MasterCard seeks to provide the most accurate acceptance figures possible and to maintain that MasterCard acceptance is unsurpassed worldwide by periodically validating our results with third parties. The data set forth in the acceptance locations column is derived through a proprietary methodology designed to minimize the impact of multiple acquiring in certain markets. This data is based on information provided by our customers and other third parties and is subject to certain limited verification by MasterCard and partial cross-checking against information provided by MasterCard's transaction processing systems. All data is subject to revision and amendment by MasterCard's customers subsequent to the date of its release. Performance information for prior periods can be found in the "Investor Relations" section of MasterCard's website at www.mastercard.com.
