Global Payments Reports First Quarter 2023 Results

Raises 2023 Outlook

Completes EVO Payments Acquisition

Closes Netspend Consumer Divestiture

Executes Sale of Gaming Solutions Business

ATLANTA -- Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230501005138/en/

“We are pleased to have delivered our best first quarter in four years, exceeding our expectations to start 2023,” said Jeff Sloan, Chief Executive Officer. “Both of our key businesses posted exceptional results. Our merchant business proved highly resilient as we saw accelerated growth across a number of worldwide markets and ongoing stability despite incremental macroeconomic distractions. And our core issuer business improved 340 basis points sequentially and delivered its highest rate of year-over-year growth in more than five years. This performance reflects the wisdom of our long term strategies and our consistent focus on execution.

“We accomplished these results while turning the page on the strategic initiatives we have been executing over the last 12 plus months. First, we are delighted to have closed our acquisition of EVO Payments in late March, and we are off to a strong start with our integration activities. Second, we are pleased to announce the successful closing of the sale of our Netspend consumer business in late April. Third, we completed the divestiture of the Gaming Solutions business immediately following the end of the first quarter.”

Sloan concluded, “These transactions serve to better align our businesses with our strategy, simplify our portfolio, sharpen our focus on core corporate clients and provide us with enhanced confidence in our growth and margin targets. We are delighted to raise our outlook for the full year following the outstanding financial and operating performance we produced in the first quarter.”

First Quarter 2023 Summary

  • GAAP revenues were $2.29 billion, compared to $2.16 billion in 2022; diluted (loss) earnings per share were $(0.04) compared to $0.87 in the prior year; and operating margin was 2.5% compared to 17.4% in the prior year.
  • Adjusted net revenues increased 5% (7% constant currency) to $2.05 billion, compared to $1.95 billion in 2022; excluding the impact of dispositions and the acquisition of EVO Payments, adjusted net revenue increased 9% on a constant currency basis.
  • Adjusted earnings per share increased 16% (18% constant currency) to $2.40, compared to $2.07 in 2022.
  • Adjusted operating margin expanded 200 basis points to 43.1%.

2023 Outlook

“We are pleased with our strong financial performance in the first quarter, which exceeded our expectations despite ongoing macro concerns,” said Josh Whipple, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Based on our strong performance and continuing momentum, we are raising our guidance for calendar 2023.

“The company now expects adjusted net revenue to be in a range of $8.635 billion to $8.735 billion, reflecting growth of 7% to 8% over 2022 (an increase from 6% to 7% previously), and adjusted earnings per share to be in a range of $10.32 to $10.44, reflecting growth of 11% to 12% over 2022 (up from 10% to 11% previously), or 16% to 17% excluding dispositions. We continue to expect adjusted operating margin for 2023 to expand by up to 120 basis points.”

Whipple concluded, “Our 2023 outlook reflects the now completed execution of all three of our previously announced strategic transactions and assumes a worldwide macroeconomic backdrop that is consistent with the current environment throughout the remainder of the calendar year.”

Capital Allocation

Global Payments’ Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.25 per share payable June 30, 2023 to shareholders of record as of June 15, 2023.

Conference Call

Global Payments’ management will host a live audio webcast today, May 1, 2023, at 8:00 a.m. EDT to discuss financial results and business highlights. The audio webcast, along with supplemental financial information, can be accessed via the investor relations page of the company’s website at investors.globalpayments.com. A replay of the audio webcast will be archived on the company's website following the live event.

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. The constant currency growth measures adjust for the impact of exchange rates and are calculated using average exchange rates during the comparable period in the prior year.

Global Payments also has provided supplemental non-GAAP information to reflect the divestiture of the consumer portion of the 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.

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 guidance and projected financial results for the year 2023; the effects of general economic conditions on our business; statements about the benefits of our acquisitions or divestitures, including future financial and operating results, the company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, and the successful integration of our acquisitions or completion of anticipated benefits or strategic initiatives; our success and timing in developing and introducing new services and expanding our business; and other statements regarding our future financial performance. 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, continuing 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; 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” 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.

________________________

(1)

Includes adjustments to revenues for gross-up related payments (included in operating expenses) associated with certain lines of business to reflect economic benefits to the company. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, net revenue adjustments also included $0.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively, to eliminate the effect of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments for software-related contract liabilities associated with acquired businesses. Adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2023 also included a $14.5 million adjustment to exclude revenues that were associated with certain excluded expenses of our consumer business, which was classified as assets held for sale on our balance sheet, as noted in footnote 2 below.

 

 

(2)

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, earnings adjustments to operating income included $303.6 million in cost of services (COS) and $291.3 million in selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A). Adjustments to COS included amortization of acquired intangibles of $301.3 million and other items of $2.3 million. Adjustments to SG&A included share-based compensation expense of $89.6 million, acquisition, integration and separation expenses of $174.8 million, facilities exit charges of $7.7 million, and employee termination charges of $19.2 million.

 

 

 

Acquisition, integration and separation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included $74.2 million related to the divestiture of our consumer business, which was classified as assets held for sale on our balance sheet. These incremental expenses, which include card and marketing expenses, compensation and benefit expenses, and other expenses, were incurred as a result of contractual obligations with the purchasers of the consumer business and do not reflect the manner in which the Company would have operated the business and would not have otherwise been incurred absent the transaction.

 

 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, earnings adjustments to operating income also included the $244.8 million loss on business dispositions.

 

 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, earnings adjustments to operating income included $329.2 million in COS and $93.7 million in SG&A. Adjustments to COS represent amortization of acquired intangibles of $329.0 million and other items of $0.2 million. Adjustments to SG&A include share-based compensation expense of $38.4 million, acquisition and integration expenses of $51.0 million and other items of $4.3 million.

 

 

(3)

Income taxes on adjustments reflect the tax effect of earnings adjustments to income before income taxes. The tax rate used in determining the 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 for the period, depending on the nature and timing of the adjustment.

 

 

(4)

Includes 270,957 dilutive shares for non-GAAP. All awards are antidilutive for GAAP due to reporting a net loss.

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 believes adjusted net revenue more closely reflects the economic benefits to the company's core business and allows for better comparisons with industry peers. 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 net income and adjusted EPS should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, revenues, operating income, net income and earnings per share 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. 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 on business divestitures, and certain other items specific to each reporting period as more fully described in the accompanying reconciliations in Schedules 6 to 7. Adjusted operating margin is derived by dividing adjusted operating income by adjusted net revenue. The constant currency growth measures adjust for the impact of exchange rates and are calculated using average exchange rates during the comparable period in the prior year. 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 for the period, depending on the nature and timing of the adjustment.

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.

Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN) announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.
