The following additional details are provided to aid in understanding Mastercard’s second quarter 2017 results, versus the year-ago period:


•	Net revenue growth increased 13% as reported and 14% on a currency-neutral basis, driven by the impact of the following factors:


◦	An increase in switched transactions of 17%, to 16.0 billion;


◦	A 9% increase in gross dollar volume, on a local currency basis and adjusting for the impact of recent EU regulatory changes, to $1.3 trillion;


◦	An increase in cross-border volumes of 14% on a local currency basis; and


◦	Acquisitions, primarily Vocalink, contributed 2 percentage points to this growth.


◦	These increases were partially offset by an increase in rebates and incentives, primarily due to new and renewed agreements and increased volumes.

•

Total operating expenses increased 7%. Excluding the special item in the second quarter 2016, total adjusted operating expenses increased 17% on a currency-neutral basis. This includes a 6 percentage point impact from acquisitions, primarily Vocalink, and a 4 percentage point impact from foreign exchange-related charges. The remainder is primarily related to continued investments in strategic initiatives.


•	Other income (expense) growth was mainly driven by higher interest expense related to the company’s debt issuance in November 2016.


•	The lower effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2017 was primarily due to a more favorable geographic mix of taxable earnings.


•	As of June 30, 2017, the company’s customers had issued 2.4 billion Mastercard and Maestro-branded cards.

Return of Capital to Shareholders

During the second quarter of 2017, Mastercard repurchased approximately 8 million shares at a cost of $931 million and returned $236 million in dividends. Quarter-to-date through July 24, the company repurchased an additional 1.8 million shares at a cost of $226 million, which leaves $2.9 billion remaining under current repurchase program authorizations.

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 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 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 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 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 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’s customers subsequent to the date of its release.

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

Note: Article 8 of the EU Interchange Fee Regulation which relates to card payments and which became effective June 9, 2016, states that a network can no longer charge fees on domestic EEA payment transactions that do not use its payment brand. Prior to that, Mastercard collected a de minimis assessment fee in a few countries, particularly France, on transactions with Mastercard co-badged cards if the brands of domestic networks (as opposed to Mastercard) were used. As a result, the non-Mastercard co-badged volume is no longer being included.


To aid in understanding the underlying trends in the business, the table above reflects adjusted growth rates for the impact of Article 8, by eliminating the related co-badged volumes in prior periods.
