Fiscal Second Quarter 2026 β€” Financial Highlights GAAP net income in the fiscal second quarter was $6.0 billion or $3.14 per share, an increase of 32% and 36%, respectively, over prior year s results. Current year's results included a special item of $311 million for a litigation provision associated with the interchange multidistrict litigation ( MDL ) case and other legal matters. Current year's results also included $15 million of net losses from equity investments and $86 million from the amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related costs. Prior year's results included a special item of $992 million for a litigation provision associated with the MDL case, $23 million of net losses from equity investments and $96 million from the amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related costs. Excluding these items and related tax impacts, non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $6.3 billion or $3.31 per share, increases of 17% and 20%, respectively, over prior year s results (refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details). GAAP earnings per share increase was approximately 35% on a constant-dollar basis, which excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar. Non-GAAP earnings per share growth was approxima tely 20% on a constant-dollar basis. All references to earnings per share assume fully diluted class A share count. Net revenue in the fiscal second quarter was $11.2 billion, an increase of 17%, driven by the year-over-year growth in payments volume, cross-border volume and processed transactions. Net revenue increased 16% on a constant-dollar basis. Payments volume for the three months ended December 31, 2025, on which fiscal second quarter service revenue is recognized, increased 8% over the prior year on a constant-dollar basis. Payments volume for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased 9% over the prior year on a constant-dollar basis. Cross-border volume excluding transactions within Europe, which drives our international transaction revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased 11% on a constant-dollar basis over the prior year. Total cross-border volume on a constant-dollar basis increased 12% over the prior year. Total processed transactions, which represent transactions processed by Visa, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were 66.1 billion, a 9% increase over the prior year. Fiscal second quarter service revenue was $5.0 billion, an increase of 13% over the prior year, and is recognized based on payments volume in the prior quarter. All other revenue categories are recognized based on current quarter activity. Data processing revenue rose 18% over the prior year to $5.5 billion. International transaction revenue grew 10% over the prior year to $3.6 billion. Other revenue of $1.3 billion rose 41% over the prior year. Client incentives were $4.2 billion, up 14% over the prior year. GAAP operating expenses were $4.0 billion for the fiscal second quarter, a 4% decrease over the prior year's results, primarily driven by a decrease in the litigation provision. GAAP operating expenses included the special items as well as the amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related costs in the current and prior year. Excluding these items, non-GAAP operating expenses increased 17% over the prior year, primarily driven by increases in personnel and marketing expenses. GAAP non-operating expense was $60 million for the fiscal second quarter, including $15 million of net equity investment losses. Excluding this item, non-GAAP non-operating expense was $45 million. GAAP effective income tax rate was 16.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Excluding the related tax impacts from the non-GAAP items noted above, the non-GAAP effective income tax rate was 16.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Cash, cash equivalents and investment securities were $14.2 billion at March 31, 2026. The weighted-average number of diluted shares of class A common stock outstanding was 1.92 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. 2 Other Notable Items On February 12, 2026, Visa issued fixed-rate senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion with maturities ranging between 3 and 10 years, and interest rates from 3.8% to 4.7%. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, the refinancing of existing indebtedness. On February 26, 2026, Visa deposited $125 million into its litigation escrow account, which was previously established under the Company s U.S. retrospective responsibility plan to insulate the Company and class A common stockholders from financial liability for certain litigation cases. This deposit has the same economic effect on earnings per share as repurchasing the Company's class A common stock as it reduced each of the as-converted class B-1 common stock and class B-2 common stock share counts at a volume-weighted average price of $312.44. In February 2026, Visa announced and completed its acquisition of Prisma Medios de Pago S.A.U. ( Prisma ) and Newpay S.A.U. ( Newpay ) in Argentina. Prisma provides credit, debit and prepaid card issuer processing. Newpay is a multi-network infrastructure provider that operates real-time payments services, the Banelco ATM network and the bill payment platform PagoMisCuentas. This transaction strengthens Visa's commitment to advancing payment innovation and modernizing financial infrastructure across the country. The transaction is subject to review by the Argentine competition authority. On April 13, 2026, Visa announced the commencement of an exchange offer for any and all outstanding shares of its class B-1 common stock and class B-2 common stock for a combination of Visa's class B-3 common stock, Visa s class C common stock and, where applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares. The class B-1 and class B-2 exchange offer will expire at one minute after 11 59 p.m. New York City time on May 8, 2026, unless extended or earlier terminated by Visa. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Visa repurchased approximately 25 million shares of class A common stock at an average cost of $320.66 per share for $7.9 billion. The Company had $13.2 billion of remaining authorized funds for share repurchases as of March 31, 2026. In April 2026, the board of directors authorized a new $20.0 billion multi-year class A common stock share repurchase program. The board of directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.670 per share of class A common stock (determined in the case of all other outstanding common and preferred stock on an as-converted basis) payable on June 1, 2026, to all holders of record as of May 12, 2026.

representative of our continuing operations, as they may be non-recurring or have no cash impact, and may distort our longer-term operating trends. Constant-dollar financial measures are calculated by using a fixed current year U.S. dollar foreign currency exchange rate for each local currency for the current and prior year periods, which eliminates the impact of foreign currency transactions in measuring financial performance. We consider non-GAAP measures useful to investors because they provide greater transparency into management s view and assessment of our ongoing operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon as substitutes for, or considered in isolation from, measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We exclude the following from our GAAP financial results to arrive at our non-GAAP financial results Gains and losses on equity investments. Gains and losses on equity investments include periodic non-cash fair value adjustments and gains and losses upon sale of an investment. These long-term investments are strategic in nature and are primarily private company investments. Gains and losses associated with these investments are tied to the performance of the companies that we invest in and therefore do not correlate to the underlying performance of our business. Amortization of acquired intangible assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets such as technology and customer relationships acquired in connection with business combinations executed beginning in fiscal 2019. Amortization charges for our acquired intangible assets are non-cash and are significantly affected by the timing, frequency and size of our acquisitions, rather than our core operations. As such, we have excluded this amount to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to our past operating performance. Acquisition-related costs. Acquisition-related costs consist primarily of one-time transaction and integration costs associated with our business combinations. These costs include professional fees, technology integration fees, restructuring activities and other direct costs related to the purchase and integration of acquired entities. These costs also include retention equity and deferred compensation when they are agreed upon as part of the purchase price of the transaction but are required to be recognized as expense post-combination. We have excluded these amounts as the expenses are recognized for a limited duration and do not reflect the underlying performance of our business. Litigation provision. Litigation provision includes significant accruals related to certain legal matters that are not covered by the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan or the Europe retrospective responsibility plan (uncovered legal matters) and additional accruals associated with the interchange multidistrict litigation which are covered by the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan (U.S. covered litigation). Litigation provision associated with these matters can vary significantly based on the facts and circumstances related to each matter and do not correlate to the underlying performance of our business. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we have excluded these amounts to facilitate a comparison to our past operating performance. Deferred tax benefit. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded a deferred tax benefit within income tax provision due to a change in the U.S. taxation of certain foreign earnings. We have excluded this one-time non-cash benefit as it is not representative of our ongoing operations. Severance costs. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded severance costs within personnel expense to realign our organizational structure and focus on areas that will drive higher long-term growth. This broad-based optimization effort has been excluded as it is not representative of our ongoing operations. Lease consolidation costs. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a charge within general and administrative expense associated with the consolidation of certain leased office spaces.
