Visa Inc. Posts Strong Fiscal Second Quarter 2009 Earnings Results and Reaffirms 2009 Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share Guidance
- Adjusted quarterly net income of $553 million or $0.73 per diluted class A common share
- GAAP quarterly net income of $536 million or $0.71 per diluted class A common share
SAN FRANCISCO, April 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Visa Inc. (NYSE: V - News) today announced financial results for the company's fiscal second quarter 2009 ended March 31, 2009. On an adjusted basis (reflective of a normalized tax rate, restructuring and purchase amortization), net income for the quarter was $553 million, or $0.73 per diluted class A common share. GAAP net income for the quarter was $536 million, or $0.71 per diluted class A common share. The weighted average number of diluted class A common shares outstanding was 753 million. The company's adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per class A common share are non-GAAP financial measures that are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the accompanying financial tables.
Net operating revenue in the fiscal second quarter of 2009 was $1.6 billion, an increase of 13% over the prior year, driven by contributions across all revenue categories. Though slightly negative in the U.S., payments volume continued to grow on a constant dollar basis in all other regions globally. Processed transactions continued to post solid growth globally.
"Despite the challenging economy, Visa continued to post strong operational and financial performance during our fiscal second quarter, and we remain confident in delivering our EPS guidance for FY 2009," said Joseph Saunders, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Visa Inc. "While expense management and efficiency remain key priorities, we will continue to carefully right-size our pricing structure and further invest in our business with the intent of driving incremental growth and realizing operating advantages."
"The resiliency in our business reflects the strength of Visa's credit, debit, and prepaid products worldwide, which continue to benefit from the ongoing secular shift from cash and check to electronic forms of payments," added Saunders. "These diverse products, combined with further expansion of our processing capabilities worldwide, should continue to benefit our shareholders, clients, and cardholders in the future."
Fiscal Second Quarter 2009 Financial Highlights:
Visa Inc.'s operational performance highlights for the fiscal second quarter, as measured by business activity through December 31, 2008, include:
* Payments volume growth, on a nominal basis, was a negative 1% over the prior year at $675 billion;
* Total volume, on a nominal basis and inclusive of cash volume, was $1.1 trillion, flat over the prior year;
* Total cards carrying the Visa brands rose 8% worldwide over the prior year to over 1.7 billion; and
* Total transactions increased by 9% over the prior year to 14.9 billion.
Total processed transactions, which represent transactions processed by VisaNet through March 31, 2009, totaled 9.4 billion, a 6% increase over the prior year.
For the fiscal second quarter 2009, service revenues were $804 million, an increase of over 2% versus the prior year, and are recognized based on payment volume in the prior quarter. All other revenue categories are recognized based on current quarter activity. Data processing revenues rose 10% over the prior year to $544 million. International transaction revenues, which are driven by cross-border payments volume, grew 18% over the prior year to $446 million, as the company benefited from previously enacted pricing initiatives. Other revenues, which include the Visa Europe licensing fee, were $148 million, up 17% over the prior year. Volume and support incentives, which are a contra revenue item, were $295 million, a decline of 13% over the prior year.
Adjusted total operating expenses were $745 million for the fiscal second quarter, a 5% decrease from the prior year's adjusted total operating expenses of $783 million. Total operating expenses on a GAAP basis were $766 million for the quarter, a 31% decrease from the prior year's total operating expenses of $1.1 billion.
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investment securities were $5.8 billion at March 31, 2009.
Notable Events:
On March 2, 2009, the company unveiled its first global advertising campaign, entitled "More people go with Visa," reflecting the company's evolution to a single, global company. The new campaign enables Visa to align its worldwide marketing under a single theme that highlights the superior value Visa delivers versus cash and checks - including more security, more control and more convenience.
Also in March, MoneyGram International, a leading provider of global payment services, and Visa announced plans to introduce Visa ReadyLink - Visa's prepaid load network - in MoneyGram's 40,000 agent locations across the United States, providing financially underserved consumers with more convenient options to add funds to their Visa reloadable prepaid cards. MoneyGram joins more than 8,000 participating Visa ReadyLink locations, further extending the convenience and security of reload services to Visa prepaid cardholders in more convenient, everyday shopping locations.

I'm going to give you guys some truth. The truth is you missed the boat. The spike is over. This will continue to drifted down until the results of the independent testing are done and released. IF those findings are good then you will see another spike. IF those findings are not so good then you won't see another spike and the SP will continue to drifted down.
You guys really don't seem to know anything about the fundamentals of the company and seem only to be trying to create interest. You can't be using TA be if you were you would know that the SP is in a downtrend.
BTW, if you are going to use a different nick over at RB make sure your posts are different. I can pretty much tell who is who on each board by the similarity of the posts on both boards.
