    --  Second-quarter net income of $349 million, or $2.67 per diluted share
        --  Net income growth of 26.4%, excluding the special item from last
            year
    --  Second-quarter net revenue growth of 2.7%, to $1.3 billion

MasterCard Incorporated (NYSE: MA) today announced financial results for the
second quarter of 2009.  The company reported net income of $349 million, or
$2.67 per diluted share.  Net income grew 26.4%, excluding the special item
from last year.  The company's total operating expenses, other income,
effective tax rate, net income and earnings per share, excluding special
items, are non-GAAP financial measures that are reconciled to their most
directly comparable GAAP measures in the accompanying GAAP reconciliations.

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2009 was $1.3 billion, a 2.7% increase
versus the same period in 2008.  On a constant currency basis (excluding the
movement of the euro and the Brazilian real relative to the U.S. dollar), net
revenue increased 7.0% compared to the same period in 2008.  The higher net
revenue in the second quarter this year was fueled by:
    --  Pricing changes, which contributed approximately 8 percentage points
of
        the net revenue growth;
    --  A 7.9% increase in the number of transactions processed to 5.6
billion;
        and

    --  A 5.8% decrease in rebates and incentives.

These contributing factors were partially offset by the impact of lower gross
dollar volumes on second-quarter 2009 revenue.

MasterCard's gross dollar volume was down by 0.6% on a local currency basis,
versus the second quarter of 2008, to $595 billion.  Worldwide purchase volume
during the quarter was down by 0.7% on a local currency basis, versus the
second quarter of 2008, to $450 billion.  As of June 30, 2009, the company's
financial-institution customers had issued 959 million MasterCard cards, an
increase of 1.2% over the cards issued at June 30, 2008.

"We are very pleased with our second-quarter financial performance and are
adapting well to the challenging economic environment," said Robert W.
Selander, MasterCard president and chief executive officer.  "The thoughtful
actions we've taken to realign our resources and priorities to match customer
and local market needs, as well as our sharp focus on expense management, have
enabled us to deliver strong operating margin and net income improvements.

"At the same time, we continue to invest in the future so that we are solidly
positioned once the economic tide begins to turn," said Selander.  "We operate
a global, flexible and resilient business that will continue to benefit from
the ongoing shift toward electronic payments, which consumers, businesses and
governments find more efficient, secure and easier to manage."

The special item for the second quarter of 2009 represented a $0.5 million
litigation settlement charge.  The special item for the second quarter of 2008
represented a $1.65 billion charge related to a litigation settlement.

Excluding special items, total operating expenses decreased 13.0%, to $722
million, during the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in
2008.  Currency fluctuations contributed 3.2 percentage points to the rate of
decline.  The decrease in total operating expenses was driven by:
    --  A 2.9% decrease in general and administrative expenses, primarily
        resulting from decreases in professional fees and travel expenses,
        versus the comparable period in 2008.  These decreases were partially
        offset by increased personnel costs due to severance of $51 million in
        the second quarter of 2009.  Excluding the impact of severance costs
in
        both periods, general and administrative expenses declined 10.7% for
the
        second quarter of 2009.  A favorable foreign currency impact
represented
        2.9 percentage points of both rates of decline; and

    --  A 35.8% decrease in advertising and marketing expenses versus the
        year-ago period, primarily related to continued cost containment
        initiatives in response to market realities.  Favorable currency
        fluctuations representing approximately 3.5 percentage points
        contributed to the rate of decline.

Including special items, total operating expenses decreased 70.9%, to $723
million, primarily due to the litigation settlement that occurred in the
second quarter of 2008.

Operating margin was 43.6% for the second quarter of 2009, up 10.2 percentage
points over the year-ago period, excluding special items.

Total other expense was $21 million in the second quarter of 2009 versus total
other income of $10 million in the second quarter of 2008.  Interest expense
versus the year-ago period increased $16 million, primarily due to the
interest accretion associated with the litigation settlement that occurred in
the second quarter of 2008.

Excluding special items in both periods, MasterCard's effective tax rate was
35.0% in the second quarter of 2009, versus 35.3% in the comparable period in
2008.  Including the special items, the effective tax rate was 35.0% for the
second quarter of 2009, versus 39.0% in the comparable period in 2008.  The
difference in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the charge for the
litigation settlement recorded in the second quarter of 2008.


Year-to-Date 2009 Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, MasterCard reported net income of $717
million excluding the special item and $716 million including the special
item, or $5.47 per diluted share in both cases.

Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009, was $2.4 billion, or
essentially flat versus the same period in 2008.  On a constant currency
basis, net revenue increased 4.5%.  Increased processed transactions of 6.9%
and pricing changes of approximately 6 percentage points contributed to the
revenue growth in the year-to-date period.  These contributing factors were
partially offset by the impact of lower gross dollar volumes on revenue for
the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Total operating expenses decreased 12.0%, to $1.3 billion, for the six-month
period compared to the same period in 2008, excluding special items for both
periods.  Currency fluctuations contributed 3.2 percentage points of this
decrease.  Including special items, operating expenses decreased 58.1%, to
$1.3 billion.

Total other expense was $32 million for the six-month period versus total
other income of $183 million for the same period in 2008, including special
items.  The decrease was primarily driven by gains from the sale of Redecard
securities and the termination of a customer business agreement in 2008.

MasterCard's effective tax rate, excluding special items, was 34.1% in the six
months ended June 30, 2009, versus a rate of 35.2% in the comparable period in
2008. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an
adjustment to deferred taxes reflected in the first quarter of 2009. 
Including the special items, the effective tax rate was 34.1% for the 2009
period, and 43.9% for the 2008 period.  The difference in the effective tax
rate was primarily due to the impact of the charge for the litigation
settlement in 2008.

Footnote

The tables set forth the gross dollar volume ("GDV"), purchase volume, cash
volume and the number of purchase transactions, cash transactions, accounts,
cards and acceptance locations on a regional and global basis for
MasterCard(R)-branded and MasterCard Electronic(TM)-branded cards.  Growth
rates over prior periods are provided for volume-based data.

Debit transactions on Maestro(R) and Cirrus(R)-branded cards, Mondex(R)
transactions and transactions involving brands other than MasterCard are not
included in the preceding tables.

For purposes of the table: GDV represents purchase volume plus cash volume and
includes the impact of balance transfers and convenience checks; "purchase
volume" means the aggregate dollar amount of purchases made with
MasterCard-branded cards for the relevant period; and "cash volume" means the
aggregate dollar amount of cash disbursements obtained with MasterCard-branded
cards for the relevant period.  The number of cards includes virtual cards,
which are MasterCard-branded payment accounts in connection with which
functional cards are not generally issued. Acceptance locations include
merchant locations, ATMs and other locations where cash may be obtained.

The MasterCard payment product is comprised of credit, charge and debit
programs, and data relating to each type of program is included in the tables.
 Debit programs include MasterCard-branded debit programs where the primary
means of cardholder validation at the point of sale is for cardholders either
to sign a sales receipt or enter a PIN. The tables include information with
respect to transactions involving MasterCard-branded cards that are not
processed by MasterCard and transactions for which MasterCard does not earn
significant revenues.

Information denominated in U.S. dollars is calculated by applying an
established U.S. dollar/local currency exchange rate for each local currency
in which MasterCard volumes are reported.  These exchange rates are calculated
on a quarterly basis using the average exchange rate for each quarter. 
MasterCard reports period-over-period rates of change in purchase volume and
cash volume on the basis of local currency information, in order to eliminate
the impact of changes in the value of foreign currencies against the U.S.
dollar in calculating such rates of change.
The data set forth in the GDV, purchase volume, purchase transactions, cash
volume and cash transactions columns is provided by MasterCard customers and
is subject to verification by MasterCard and partial cross-checking against
information provided by MasterCard's transaction processing systems.  The data
set forth in the accounts and cards columns is provided by MasterCard
customers and is subject to certain limited verification by MasterCard.  A
portion of the data set forth in the accounts and cards columns reflects the
impact of routine portfolio changes among customers and other practices that
may lead to over counting of the underlying data in certain circumstances.  In
order to provide a true indication of how broadly our cards can be used,
MasterCard seeks to provide the most accurate acceptance figures possible and
to maintain that MasterCard acceptance is unsurpassed worldwide by
periodically validating our results with third parties.  The data set forth in
the acceptance locations column is derived through a proprietary methodology
designed to minimize the impact of multiple acquiring in certain markets. 
This data is based on information provided by our customers and other third
parties and is subject to certain limited verification by MasterCard and
partial cross-checking against information provided by MasterCard's
transaction processing systems.  All data is subject to revision and amendment
by MasterCard's customers subsequent to the date of its release.

Performance information for prior periods can be found in the "Investor
Relations" section of MasterCard's website at www.mastercard.com.
