Global Payments Reports Second Quarter 2018 Earnings and
Announces Agreement to Acquire AdvancedMD

ATLANTA, August 2, 2018 -- Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.
"We delivered double digit organic growth across our markets in the second quarter with results accelerating from the first quarter, highlighting ongoing business momentum globally,” said Jeff Sloan, Chief Executive Officer. “We are also delighted to announce the expansion of our software-driven payments strategy by entering the healthcare vertical market through an agreement to acquire AdvancedMD, a leading provider of cloud-based SaaS solutions to small-to-medium sized physician practices in the United States. This transaction will further shift our business mix toward technology enablement, enhancing future growth opportunities and highlighting our competitive differentiation through to the next decade."

Second Quarter 2018 Summary
GAAP revenues were $833.2 million, compared to $962.2 million in the second quarter of 2017; diluted earnings per share were $0.68 compared to $0.44 in the prior year; and operating margin was 22.9% compared to 13.7% in the second quarter of 2017; 2018 results reflect the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Adjusted net revenue plus network fees grew 18% to $982.5 million, compared to $831.7 million in the second quarter of 2017.
Adjusted earnings per share grew 37% to $1.29, compared to $0.94 in the second quarter of 2017.
Adjusted operating margin expanded 160 basis points to 31.4%.

2018 Outlook
“We are extremely pleased with our performance in the second quarter and year-to-date period, which positions us well to achieve our 2018 expectations, despite facing incremental pressure from foreign currency exchange rates,” stated Cameron Bready, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We continue to expect adjusted net revenue plus network fees to range from $3.90 billion to $3.975 billion, or growth of 13% to 15% over 2017 and adjusted operating margin to expand by as much as 120 basis points. Adjusted earnings per share is now expected to be in a range of $5.05 to $5.20, reflecting growth of 26% to 30% over 2017."

The outlook for 2018 does not include any impact from the AdvancedMD acquisition, which is expected to be immaterial to 2018 adjusted earnings per share.

(1) See Schedules 8 and 9 for a reconciliation of adjusted net revenue, adjusted net revenue plus network fees and adjusted operating income by segment to the most comparable GAAP measures and Schedule 10 for a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures.

(2) Global Payments adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606") on January 1, 2018. The new accounting standard changed the presentation of certain amounts that we pay to third parties, including payment networks. This change in presentation affected our reported GAAP revenues and operating expenses by the same amount and had no effect on operating income. Also, ASC 606 changed the presentation of revenue for our gaming cash advance solutions and had a de minimis impact on revenue for our European business. For our gaming cash advance solutions certain amounts we previously presented as operating expenses are now recognized as a reduction of revenue under GAAP.

(3) As a result of adopting ASC 606, results for 2018 and 2017 revenues and adjusted net revenue are not comparable, thus the change from the prior year is not meaningful.

(1) Represents adjustments to revenues for gross-up related payments (included in operating expenses) associated with certain lines of business to reflect economic benefits to the company. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, includes $2.3 million to eliminate the effect of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments for software-related contract liabilities associated with the acquisition of ACTIVE Network.

(2) For the three months ended June 30, 2018, earnings adjustments to operating income include $92.1 million in cost of service and $23.0 million in selling, general and administrative expenses. Adjustments to cost of service include amortization of acquired intangibles of $89.0 million, acquisition and integration expenses of $0.5 million, employee termination benefits of $0.9 million and other adjustments of $1.7 million. Adjustments to selling, general and administrative expenses include share-based compensation expense of $15.2 million, acquisition and integration expenses of $7.6 million and employee termination benefits of $0.2 million. Net income attributable to Global Payments also reflects an adjustment to remove a charge of $3.3 million associated with the refinancing of our corporate credit facility.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, earnings adjustments to operating income include $81.6 million of amortization of acquired intangibles in cost of service and $34.2 million in selling, general and administrative expenses, consisting of share-based compensation expense of $12.3 million and acquisition and integration expenses of $21.9 million. Net income attributable to Global Payments also reflects an adjustment to remove a charge of $6.8 million associated with the refinancing of our corporate credit facility.

(3) Income taxes on adjustments reflect the tax effect of earnings adjustments to income before income taxes. The tax rate used in determining the 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. Also includes the removal of expenses associated with certain discrete tax items related to the impact of changes in state effective income tax rates on deferred liabilities and tax reform true-up impacts on deferred liabilities.

(4) Global Payments adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018. The new accounting standard changed the presentation of certain amounts that we pay to third parties, including payment networks. This change in presentation affected our reported GAAP revenues and operating expenses by the same amount and had no effect on operating income.

For 2017, payment network fees were presented within operating expenses and in 2018 payment network fees are presented as a reduction of revenues. As a result, adjusted net revenue plus network fees for the three months ended June 30, 2018 is presented on a basis that is comparable to the prior year. Adjusted net revenue plus network fees for the three months ended June 30, 2017 includes an adjustment for our gaming cash advance solutions and other de minimis amounts for our European business to present it on a basis that is comparable to the current year.

(1) Represents adjustments to revenues for gross-up related payments (included in operating expenses) associated with certain lines of business to reflect economic benefits to the company. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, includes $5.9 million to eliminate the effect of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments for software-related contract liabilities associated with the acquisition of ACTIVE Network.
 
(2) For the six months ended June 30, 2018, earnings adjustments to operating income include $181.0 million in cost of service and $55.7 million in selling, general and administrative expenses. Adjustments to cost of service include amortization of acquired intangibles of $177.4 million, acquisition and integration expenses of $1.0 million, employee termination benefits $0.9 million and other adjustments of $1.7 million. Adjustments to selling, general and administrative expenses include share-based compensation expense of $30.1 million, acquisition and integration expenses of $25.4 million and other adjustments of $0.2 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, earnings adjustments to operating income include $167.9 million and $71.8 million in cost of service and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively. Adjustments to cost of service include amortization of acquired intangibles of $166.2 million and employee termination benefits of $1.7 million. Adjustments to selling, general and administrative expenses include share-based compensation expense of $21.2 million, acquisition and integration expenses of $48.0 million and employee termination benefits of $2.6 million.  

(3) Global Payments adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018. The new accounting standard changed the presentation of certain amounts that we pay to third parties, including payment networks. This change in presentation affected our reported GAAP revenues and operating expenses by the same amount and had no effect on operating income.

For 2017, payment network fees were presented within operating expenses and in 2018 payment network fees are presented as a reduction of revenues. As a result, adjusted net revenue plus network fees for the six months ended June 30, 2018 is presented on a basis that is comparable to the prior year. Adjusted net revenue plus network fees for the six months ended June 30, 2017 includes an adjustment for our gaming cash advance solutions and other de minimis amounts for our European business to present it on a basis that is comparable to the current year.

Our outlook for 2018 does not include any impact from the AdvancedMD acquisition, which we expect to be immaterial to 2018 adjusted earnings per share.

(1) Represents adjustments to revenues for gross-up related payments (included in operating expenses) associated with certain lines of business to reflect economic benefit to the company. As a result of the adoption of ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018, no adjustment is necessary for our European wholesale business as GAAP revenues in 2018 are presented net of these payments. The 2018 Outlook adjustment is $0.16 billion lower as a result of this change. See footnote 2.

Amounts also include adjustments to eliminate the effect of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments for software-related contract liabilities associated with the acquisition of ACTIVE Network.

(2) Global Payments adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018. The new accounting standard changed the presentation of certain amounts that we pay to third parties, including payment networks. This change in presentation affected our reported GAAP revenues and operating expenses by the same amount and had no effect on operating income.

For 2017, payment network fees were presented within operating expenses and in 2018 payment network fees are presented as a reduction of revenues. As a result, adjusted net revenue plus network fees for 2018 are presented on a basis that is comparable to the prior year. Adjusted net revenue plus network fees for 2017 includes an adjustment for our gaming cash advance solutions
and other de minimis amounts for our European business to present it on a basis that is comparable to the current year.

(3) ASC 606 also changes the amount and timing of revenue and expenses to be recognized under certain of our customer arrangements, the effect of which is reflected in the outlook for GAAP diluted EPS for 2018.  

(4) Adjustments to 2017 GAAP diluted EPS include the ACTIVE Network revenue adjustment described above, acquisition related amortization expense of $2.19, share-based compensation expense of $0.25 and net other items of $0.68, including acquisition and integration expense of $0.61. Adjustments to 2017 GAAP diluted EPS also includes the effect of these adjustments on noncontrolling interests and income taxes, as applicable. In addition, these adjustments reflect the removal of income tax benefit of $1.02 representing the effects of U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Global Payments supplements revenues, income and EPS information determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP by providing these measures, and other 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. Management believes adjusted net revenue and adjusted net revenue plus network fees more closely reflect the economic benefits to the company's core business and, in the case of adjusted net revenue, allows for better comparisons with industry peers. 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 net revenue plus network fees, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, revenues, operating income, net 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 operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS exclude acquisition-related amortization expense, share-based compensation and certain other items specific to each reporting period as more fully described in the accompanying reconciliations in Schedules 6, 7, 8 and 9. Beginning in 2018, adjusted operating margin is derived by dividing adjusted operating income by adjusted net revenue plus network fees. The tax rate used in determining the net income 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.
