Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On July 29, 2015, MasterCard Incorporated (“MasterCard”) issued a press release announcing financial results for its second quarter 2015.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. All information in the press release is furnished but not filed.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In the attached press release, MasterCard discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures:
Total operating expenses, operating income, net income and earnings per diluted share, as well as related applicable growth rates, presented on a pro forma basis giving effect to the exclusion of a charge related to a UK merchant litigation settlement recorded during each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015. MasterCard excluded this item because its management monitors material litigation settlements separately from ongoing operations and evaluates ongoing performance without these amounts. MasterCard’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented facilitate an understanding of MasterCard’s operating performance and meaningful comparison of its results between periods.

Operating margin presented on a pro forma basis giving effect to the exclusion of a pre-tax charge related to the UK merchant litigation settlement during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015. MasterCard’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure presented facilitates an understanding of MasterCard’s operating performance and meaningful comparison of its results between periods.

Effective tax rate presented on a pro forma basis giving effect to the exclusion of income tax benefits associated with the after-tax charge related to the UK merchant litigation settlement during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015. MasterCard’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure presented facilitates an understanding of MasterCard’s operating performance and meaningful comparison of its results between periods.

Presentation of growth rates adjusted for currency. Due to the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuations on reported results, MasterCard’s management believes the presentation of certain growth rates adjusted for currency, calculated by re-measuring the prior period’s results using the current period’s exchange rates, provides relevant information.

MasterCard’s management uses non-GAAP financial measures to, among other things, evaluate its ongoing operations in relation to historical results, for internal planning and forecasting purposes and in the calculation of performance-based compensation. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation S-K, the attached press release includes reconciliations of the requisite non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s related financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On July 29, 2015, MasterCard will host a conference call to discuss its second-quarter 2015 financial results. A copy of the presentation to be used during the conference call is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2. All information in the presentation is furnished but not filed.

Second-Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Second-quarter net income of $965 million, excluding a special item, or $0.85 per diluted share
Second-quarter net income of $921 million, including a special item, or $0.81 per diluted share
Second-quarter net revenue increase of 1%, to $2.4 billion
Second-quarter gross dollar volume up 13% and purchase volume up 12%

Purchase, NY, July 29, 2015 - MasterCard Incorporated (NYSE: MA) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2015. Excluding a special item, the company reported net income of $965 million, up 4%, or 12% after adjusting for currency, and earnings per diluted share of $0.85, up 6% or 15% adjusted for currency, versus the year-ago period. Including the special item, a $44 million after-tax charge related to a U.K. merchant litigation settlement, the company reported net income of $921 million, a decrease of 1%, or an increase of 7% after adjusting for currency, and earnings per diluted share of $0.81, up 1%, or 9% adjusted for currency, versus the year-ago period. The net income and earnings per diluted share figures, excluding the special item, are reconciled to their comparable GAAP measures in the accompanying tables. Acquisitions had a $0.03 dilutive impact on earnings per diluted share.

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2015 was $2.4 billion, a 1% increase versus the same period in 2014. Adjusted for currency, net revenue increased 7%. Net revenue growth was driven by the impact of the following:

An increase in cross-border volumes of 17%;
A 13% increase in gross dollar volume, on a local currency basis, to $1.1 trillion; and
An increase in processed transactions of 13%, to 12.0 billion.

These factors were partially offset by an increase in rebates and incentives, primarily due to new and renewed agreements and increased volumes. Acquisitions contributed 2 percentage points to total net revenue growth.

Worldwide purchase volume during the quarter was up 12% on a local currency basis versus the second quarter of 2014, to $841 billion. As of June 30, 2015, the company’s customers had issued 2.2 billion MasterCard and Maestro-branded cards.

“Our business continues to perform well with good transaction and volume growth, particularly in cross-border, despite the mixed global economic environment and foreign exchange headwinds,” said Ajay Banga, president and CEO, MasterCard. “We are executing on our strategy to grow our business by focusing on winning new deals in our core payments business, while building out our data analytics, processing and safety applications. A blend of acquisitions and organic investments in these spaces remain at the foundation of our strategy.”

Excluding the special item, total operating expenses increased 9%, or increased 14% when adjusted for currency, to $1.1 billion during the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Acquisitions contributed 10 percentage points of the FX-adjusted growth, with the remainder primarily due to higher data processing and advertising & marketing expenses. Including the special item, total operating expenses increased 15%, or 21% when adjusted for currency, from the year-ago period.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2015 decreased 5%, or increased 2% adjusted for currency, versus the year-ago period, excluding the special item. The company delivered an operating margin of 54.9%.

MasterCard reported other expense of $10 million in the second quarter of 2015, unchanged from the second quarter of 2014.

MasterCard’s effective tax rate was 25.8% in the second quarter of 2015, versus a rate of 32.2% in the comparable period in 2014, excluding the special item. The decrease was primarily due to a larger repatriation benefit, the recognition of a discrete U.S. foreign tax credit benefit and a more favorable mix of taxable earnings.

During the second quarter of 2015, MasterCard repurchased approximately 9 million shares of Class A common stock at a cost of approximately $849 million. Quarter-to-date through July 22nd, the company repurchased an additional 1.9 million shares at a cost of approximately $182 million, with $2.0 billion remaining under the current repurchase program authorization.

Year-to-Date 2015 Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, excluding the special item, MasterCard reported net income of $2.0 billion, an increase of 10%, or 18% after adjusting for currency, and earnings per diluted share of $1.73, up 13%, or 21% adjusting for currency versus the year-ago period. Including the special item, net income was $1.9 billion and earnings per diluted share was $1.69. Acquisitions had a $0.06 dilutive impact on earnings per diluted share.

Net revenue for the first half of 2015 was $4.6 billion, an increase of 2%, or 8% after adjusting for currency, versus the same period in 2014. Gross dollar volume growth of 12%, transaction processing growth of 13% and cross-border volume growth of 18% contributed to the net revenue growth in the year-to-date period. These factors were partially offset by an increase in rebates and incentives. Acquisitions contributed 2 percentage points to total net revenue growth.

Excluding the special item, total operating expenses increased 4%, or 9% after adjusting for currency, to $2.0 billion, for the first half of 2015, compared to the same period in 2014. The increase was entirely due to the impact of acquisitions. Including the special item, total operating expenses increased 8%, or 12% after adjusting for currency.





MasterCard Incorporated - Page 3

Excluding the special item, operating income of $2.7 billion was essentially unchanged versus the first half of 2014 or increased 7% adjusted for currency, resulting in an operating margin of 57.7%.

MasterCard’s effective tax rate was 24.9% for the first half of 2015 versus a rate of 32.1% in the same period in 2014, excluding the special item. The decrease was primarily due to the recognition of a discrete U.S. foreign tax credit benefit, a larger repatriation benefit and a more favorable mix of taxable earnings.

Footnote

The tables set forth the gross dollar volume (“GDV”), purchase volume, cash volume and the number of purchase transactions, cash transactions, accounts and cards on a regional and global basis for MasterCard®-branded and MasterCard Electronic™-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 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. 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.
