“We are pleased with our solid financial performance in the
third quarter, which reflects strong execution despite ongoing
macroeconomic uncertainty,” said Cameron Bready, chief executive
officer. “These results highlight the resiliency and durability of
our business as we move aggressively to position Global Payments
for the next phase of its growth journey as a leader in
payments.”
Bready continued, “We are making substantial progress on the
broad transformation agenda we detailed at our Investor Conference
in September. We have refocused our strategy and are unifying our
organization across assets and go-to-market activities, allowing us
to unleash our full potential and play to our competitive
strengths. I remain confident that our efforts to streamline and
simplify our business will unlock substantial value and support
sustainable growth well into the future, as we relentlessly pursue
our ambition to be the worldwide partner of choice for commerce
solutions.”
Bready concluded, “Consistent with these efforts, we have
reached a definitive agreement to sell AdvancedMD to Francisco
Partners. In connection with this sale, we also established a
long-term commercial partnership with AdvancedMD, whereby we will
continue to work together to deliver leading payments and commerce
enablement solutions to its customers. This transaction further
highlights the high quality assets in our portfolio and allows us
to enhance value creation for shareholders. We expect this sale to
close in the fourth quarter.”
Third Quarter 2024 Summary
- GAAP revenues were $2.60 billion, compared to $2.48 billion in
2023; diluted earnings per share were $1.24, compared to $1.39 in
the prior year; and operating margin was 18.3%, compared to 22.5%
in the prior year.
- Adjusted net revenues increased 6% to $2.36 billion, compared
to $2.23 billion in the third quarter of 2023.
- Adjusted earnings per share increased 12% to $3.08, compared to
$2.75 in the third quarter of 2023.
- Adjusted operating margin expanded 40 basis points to
46.1%.
2024 Outlook
“We are pleased with our financial and operational performance
in the third quarter and year-to-date period,” said Josh Whipple,
chief financial officer. “Notably, we produced strong adjusted free
cash flow in the third quarter and also reduced our net leverage
position by nearly a quarter-turn sequentially to 3.3 times,
positioning us well to achieve our target by year end.”
Whipple continued, “The company continues to expect adjusted net
revenue to be in a range of $9.17 billion to $9.30 billion,
reflecting growth of 6% to 7%, and adjusted earnings per share to
be in a range of $11.54 to $11.70, reflecting growth of 11% to 12%
over 2023. Annual adjusted operating margin for 2024 is still
expected to expand by up to 50 basis points.”
Whipple concluded, “Our outlook highlights the consistency of
our model and the benefits of our sharpened focus as we execute on
our strategic priorities.”

per share payable on December 27, 2024 to shareholders of record as
of December 13, 2024. The Board of Directors also approved an
increase in the company's share repurchase authorization capacity

Conference Call

today, October 30, 2024, at 8:00 a.m. ET to discuss financial
results and business highlights. The audio webcast, along with

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Global Payments supplements revenues, operating income,
operating margin and net income and earnings per share determined
in accordance with GAAP by providing these measures with certain
adjustments (such measures being non-GAAP financial measures) in
this earnings release to assist with evaluating our performance. In
addition to GAAP measures, management uses these non-GAAP financial
measures to focus on the factors the company believes are pertinent
to the daily management of our operations.
Global Payments also has provided supplemental non-GAAP
information to reflect the divestiture of the consumer portion of
our Netspend business, which comprised our former Consumer
Solutions segment, which closed in April 2023. Management believes
that providing such supplemental financial information should
enhance shareholders’ ability to evaluate how the business will be
managed going forward.
Reconciliations of each of the non-GAAP financial measures to
the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the
schedules to this release, except for forward-looking measures
where a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measures is not
available due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility
of the items that are excluded from the non-GAAP outlook
measures.

Forward-Looking Statements
Investors are cautioned that some of the statements we use in
this release contain forward-looking statements and are made
pursuant to the "safe-harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements,
which are based on current expectations, estimates and projections
about the industry and markets in which we operate, and beliefs of
and assumptions made by our management, involve risks and
uncertainties that could significantly affect the financial
condition, results of operations, business plans and the future
performance of Global Payments. Actual events or results might
differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in these
forward-looking statements. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that
our plans and expectations will be achieved. Examples of
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements we make regarding future financial and operating
results, including revenue, earnings estimates, liquidity, and
deleveraging plans, management’s expectations regarding future
plans, objectives and goals; market and growth opportunities;
capital available for allocation; the effects of general economic
conditions on our business; statements about the benefits of
acquisitions or divestitures, such as the proposed sale of
AdvancedMD, Inc., including future financial and operating results,
and the successful integration of our acquisitions; statements
about the completion of anticipated benefits and strategic or
operational initiatives; statements regarding our success and
timing in developing and introducing new services and expanding our
business; and other statements regarding our future financial
performance and the company’s plans, objectives, expectations and
intentions. Statements can generally be identified as
forward-looking because they include words such as “believes,”
“anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plan,” “forecast,” “could,”
“should,” “will,” “would,” or words of similar meaning. Although we
believe that the plans and expectations reflected in any
forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we
can give no assurance that our plans and expectations will be
attained, and therefore actual outcomes and results may differ
materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such
forward-looking statements.
In addition to factors previously disclosed in Global Payments’
reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this
communication, the following factors, among others, could cause
actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements
or historical performance: the effects of global economic,
political, market, health and social events or other conditions;
foreign currency exchange, inflation and rising interest rate
risks; difficulties, delays and higher than anticipated costs
related to integrating the businesses of acquired companies,
including with respect to implementing controls to prevent a
material security breach of any internal systems or to successfully
manage credit and fraud risks in business units; Global Payments’
ability to complete the proposed sale of AdvancedMD, Inc. on the
proposed terms or on the anticipated timeline, or at all; the
effect of a security breach or operational failure on our business;
failing to comply with the applicable requirements of Visa,
Mastercard or other payment networks or card schemes or changes in
those requirements; the ability to maintain Visa and Mastercard
registration and financial institution sponsorship; the ability to
retain, develop and hire key personnel; the diversion of
management’s attention from ongoing business operations; the
continued availability of capital and financing; increased
competition in the markets in which we operate and our ability to
increase our market share in existing markets and expand into new
markets; our ability to safeguard our data; risks associated with
our indebtedness; our ability to meet environmental, social or
governance targets, goals and commitments; the potential effect of
climate change including natural disasters; the effects of new or
changes in current laws, regulations, credit card association rules
or other industry standards on us or our partners and customers,
including privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations; and other
events beyond our control, and other factors included in the “Risk
Factors” section in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and
in other documents that we file with the SEC, which are available
at https://www.sec.gov.
These cautionary statements qualify all of our forward-looking
statements, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date they are made and should not be relied
upon as representing our plans and expectations as of any
subsequent date. While we may elect to update or revise
forward-looking statements at some time in the future, we
specifically disclaim any obligation to publicly release the
results of any revisions to our forward-looking statements, except
as required by law.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Global Payments supplements revenues, operating income,
operating margin and net income, and earnings per share (EPS)
determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP by providing these measures
with certain adjustments (such measures being non-GAAP financial
measures) in this document to assist with evaluating our
performance. In addition to GAAP measures, management uses these
non-GAAP financial measures to focus on the factors the company
believes are pertinent to the daily management of our operations.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, together with
other metrics, to set goals for and measure the performance of the
business and to determine incentive compensation. Adjusted net
revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin,
adjusted EPS and adjusted free cash flow should be considered in
addition to, and not as substitutes for, revenues, operating
income, EPS and net operating cash flows determined in accordance
with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures reflect management's
judgment of particular items, and may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Adjusted net revenue excludes gross-up related payments
associated with certain lines of business to reflect economic
benefits to the company. On a GAAP basis, these payments are
presented gross in both revenues and operating expenses. Management
believes adjusted net revenue more closely reflects the economic
benefits to the company's core business and allows for better
comparisons with industry peers.
Adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS
exclude acquisition-related amortization expense, share-based
compensation expense, acquisition, integration and separation
expense, gain or losses in business divestitures, business
transformation activities, and certain other items specific to each
reporting period as more fully described in the accompanying
reconciliations in Schedules 6 and 7. The tax rate used in
determining the income tax impact of earnings adjustments is either
the jurisdictional statutory rate in effect at the time of the
adjustment or the jurisdictional expected annual effective tax rate

adjustment.
Adjusted operating margin is derived by dividing adjusted
operating income by adjusted net revenue.
The supplemental non-GAAP information excludes the results of
the consumer business that was divested in April 2023. Management
believes that providing such supplemental financial information
should enhance shareholders’ ability to evaluate how the business
will be managed going forward.
