This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251104047485/en/

"We are pleased to deliver third quarter results that accelerated sequentially across our key financial metrics as we advance our transformation program," said Cameron Bready, chief executive officer. "Our team continues to execute at a high level, positioning us well to deliver on our overall expectations for the year."

Bready continued, "Our Merchant business is exhibiting ongoing momentum with adjusted net revenue growth accelerating to 6% constant currency excluding dispositions. Our strategic focus remains on the development and roll-out of Genius, while also improving our overall sales effectiveness and unifying our business globally. In the few months since we launched Genius, monthly sales increased significantly, demonstrating how well Genius is resonating in the market."

Bready concluded, "Further, we recently received merger control approval for our acquisition of Worldpay from the Competition & Markets Authority in the U.K., which is a critical regulatory milestone. Given the strong progress we have made with the regulatory approval process, we now expect to close our acquisition of Worldpay and divestiture of Issuer Solutions in the first quarter of 2026. We are eager to complete these transactions, which will catalyze our transformation and unlock compelling value creation opportunities by positioning Global Payments as a pureplay merchant solutions provider with sustainable revenue growth, leading scale, focused investments, and meaningful synergies."

Third Quarter 2025 Summary

GAAP revenues were $2.01 billion¹, diluted EPS were $2.64, and operating margin was 38.8%.
Adjusted net revenues increased 3% (6% constant currency excluding dispositions) to $2.43 billion.
Adjusted EPS increased 12% (11% constant currency) to $3.26.
Adjusted operating margin expanded 110 basis points to 45.0%.

2025 Outlook

"We are pleased with our financial and operational performance in the third quarter, which were consistent with our expectations and the outlook we previously provided," said Josh Whipple, chief financial officer. "In addition to the financial metrics that Cameron referenced, we also produced strong adjusted free cash flow of $784 million in the quarter, allowing us to de-lever to 2.9-times adjusted net leverage at the end of the quarter, below the 3.0 times target we had committed to achieve by year end."

Whipple concluded, "The company continues to expect constant currency adjusted net revenue growth in the range of 5% to 6%, excluding dispositions, for the full year. We still expect annual adjusted operating margin expansion to be more than 50 basis points, excluding dispositions, and for our constant currency adjusted earnings per share growth to be at the high end of the 10% to 11% range in 2025."

Financial Reporting Considerations for Pending Issuer Solutions Transaction

Effective in the second quarter of 2025, the company began accounting for the Issuer Solutions business as discontinued operations as a result of the announced divestiture to Fidelity National Information Services. Until closing, Issuer Solutions will continue to operate as a business of Global Payments; accordingly, our non-GAAP financial measures reflect total company performance.

Capital Allocation

Global Payments' Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.25 per share payable on December 26, 2025 to shareholders of record as of December 12, 2025.

Conference Call

Global Payments' management will host a live audio webcast today, November 4, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. ET 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 revenue, operating income, operating margin, net income, earnings per share, free cash flow, and free cash flow conversion 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.

Reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is 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. The company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

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 geographies in which we operate, and beliefs of and assumptions made by our management, involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions 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 our business strategy and means to implement the strategy; measures of future results of operations, such as revenues, expenses, operating margin, income tax rates and earnings per share; other operating metrics such as shares outstanding and capital expenditures; liquidity and deleveraging plans and capital available for allocation, statements we make regarding guidance and projected financial results for the year 2025; the effects of general economic conditions on our business; statements about the strategic rationale and anticipated benefits of acquisitions or dispositions, such as our proposed acquisition of Worldpay and divestiture of our Issuer Solutions business, including future financial and operating results, and the successful integration of our acquisitions; our ability to timely complete the acquisition of Worldpay and divestiture of our Issuer Solutions business, including receiving all required regulatory approvals in connection with the transactions; 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 occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or more of the parties to terminate the transaction agreements for the divestiture of the Company's Issuer Solutions business and the acquisition of Worldpay (collectively, the "Transaction"); the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Worldpay, Global Payments, or its directors; the ability to obtain regulatory approvals and meet other closing conditions for the Transaction on a timely basis or at all, including the risk that regulatory approvals required for the Transaction are not obtained on a timely basis or at all, or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated or that could adversely affect Global Payments following the Transaction or the expected benefits of the Transaction; risks related to the financing in connection with the Transaction; difficulties and delays in integrating the Worldpay business into that of Global Payments, 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; failing to fully realize anticipated cost savings and other anticipated benefits of the Transaction when expected or at all, business disruptions from the proposed transaction that will harm Global Payments' or Worldpay's businesses, including current plans and operations; potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the Transaction, including as it relates to Global Payments' or Worldpay's ability to successfully renew existing client contracts on favorable terms or at all and obtain new clients; failing to comply with the applicable requirements of Visa, Mastercard or other payment networks or card schemes or changes in those requirements; the ability of Global Payments or Worldpay to retain and hire key personnel; the diversion of management's attention from ongoing business operations; uncertainty as to the long-term value of the common stock of Global Payments following the Transaction, including the dilution caused by Global Payments' issuance of additional shares of its common stock in connection with the Transaction; the continued availability of capital and financing; the effects of global economic, political, market, health and social events or other conditions; the imposition of tariffs and other trade policies and the resulting impacts on market volatility and global trade; macroeconomic pressures and general uncertainty regarding the overall future economic environment; foreign currency exchange, inflation and rising interest rate risks; the effects of a security breach or operational failure on our business; the ability to maintain Visa and Mastercard registration and financial institution sponsorship; difficulties, 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; 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.

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. 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. 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, and adjusted EPS should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, revenues, operating income, and EPS 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 net revenue reflects total company performance, including discontinued 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.

Adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS exclude acquisition-related amortization expense, acquisition, integration, separation and transformation expense, gains or losses on business dispositions, 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 for the period, depending on the nature and timing of the adjustment. In addition, income taxes on adjustments include the removal of tax charges related to business dispositions. Adjusted operating income reflects total company performance, including discontinued operations.

Adjusted operating margin is derived by dividing adjusted operating income by adjusted net revenue.

¹GAAP revenue excludes discontinued operations related to the disposition of the Issuer Solutions business; non-GAAP results reflect total company performance.
