ATLANTA, February 12, 2020 -- Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN) today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2019.

"We delivered one of the finest strategic, operational and financial years in our history in 2019. Our transformational merger with TSYS redefined our industry landscape, creating the worldwide leader in payments technology," said Jeff Sloan, Chief Executive Officer. "Our differentiated focus on software, partnered and owned, omnichannel solutions and faster growth markets generated significant competitive wins and enabled our expansion into new geographies, further validating the distinctiveness of our business model."

Sloan added, "Our momentum continued in the fourth quarter of 2019, with growth accelerating as we exceeded our expectations for the quarter and year. Looking forward, we are tremendously excited about the opportunities that will enable us to maintain industry leading growth as a combined company."

Full Year 2019 Summary

• GAAP revenues were $4.91 billion, compared to $3.37 billion in 2018; diluted earnings per share were $2.16 compared to $2.84 in the prior year; and operating margin was 16.1%.

• Adjusted net revenue¹ grew 48% to $4.59 billion, compared to $3.10 billion in 2018. As previously disclosed, this new non-GAAP revenue convention does not include the addition of network fees.

Synergy Update

“We could not be more excited about the outlook for 2020 as we leverage our differentiated payments technology model and execute on the significant cross-selling opportunities as a combined company. We now expect annual run-rate expense synergies of at least $350 million within three years, an increase from our prior expectation of more than $325 million. Further, we continue to expect annual run-rate revenue synergies of at least $125 million from the merger within that same period,” stated Cameron Bready, President and Chief Operating Officer. “Our strong fourth quarter results serve as an early indication of the value creation enabled by our merger with TSYS and reflect the tremendous progress we have already made in integrating our premier payments businesses.”

2020 Outlook

“We delivered outstanding financial results that exceeded our expectations for both the fourth quarter and the full year 2019,” said Paul Todd, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Based on our strong performance and continuing momentum, we are optimistic about the financial outlook for our business. The company expects full year 2020 adjusted net revenue of $7.68 billion to $7.75 billion, representing growth of 67% to 69%, or 8% to 9% on a combined basis. Annual adjusted operating margin for 2020 is expected to expand by up to 250 basis points on a combined basis and by up to 75 basis points on a reported basis. We expect adjusted earnings per share growth of 20% to 23% over 2019.”

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain of the matters discussed in this communication which are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning 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 markets in which Global Payments operates, beliefs of and assumptions made by Global Payments management, and the anticipated outcome and benefits of the merger of Global Payments and TSYS, involve uncertainties that could significantly affect the financial condition, results of

operations, business plans and the future performance of Global Payments. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “targeted,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “plans,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying these statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the strategic rationale and financial benefits of the merger transaction, including expected future financial and operating results and the combined company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future —including statements relating to projections of revenue, income or loss, earnings or loss per share, the payment or nonpayment of dividends, capital structure and other financial items; statements of plans and objectives of Global Payments or its management or Board of Directors, including those relating to products or services; and statements of future economic performance — are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our 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 outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Global Payments or its or TSYS’ current or former directors; difficulties, delays and higher than anticipated costs related to integrating the businesses of Global Payments and TSYS, including with respect to implementing systems 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 merger when expected or at all; business disruptions from the merger or integration that will harm Global Payments’ business, including current plans and operations; potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the merger, including as it relates to the businesses’ 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 to maintain Visa and Mastercard registration and financial institution sponsorship; the ability of Global Payments to retain and hire key personnel; the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations; the continued availability of capital and financing following the merger; the business, economic and political conditions in the markets in which Global Payments operates; increased competition in the markets in which Global Payments operates 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, foreign currency exchange and interest rate risks; the impact of new or changes in current laws, regulations, credit card association rules or other industry standards, including privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations; and events beyond Global

Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this communication or as of the date they were made, and Global Payments undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements.

As for the forward-looking statements that relate to future financial results and other projections, actual results will be different due to the inherent uncertainties of estimates, forecasts and projections and may be better or worse than projected and such differences could be material. Given these uncertainties, you should not place any reliance on these forward-looking statements.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Global Payments supplements revenues, income, operating income, operating margin 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 more closely reflects the economic benefits to the company's core business and 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 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. Adjusted operating margin is derived by dividing adjusted operating income by adjusted net revenue. 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.
