items
* Net income of $452 million, or $3.45 per diluted share, including special

PURCHASE, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--
MasterCard Incorporated (NYSE:MA) today announced financial results for the
third quarter of 2009. The company reported net income of $456 million, or $3.48
per diluted share, excluding special items, and net income of $452 million, or
$3.45 per diluted share, including special items. 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 third quarter of 2009 was $1.4 billion, a 2.0% 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 3.9% compared to the same period in 2008. The higher net
revenue in the third quarter this year benefited from:
* Pricing changes that contributed approximately 6 percentage points of the net
revenue growth; and
* A 7.6% increase in the number of transactions processed to 5.8 billion.
These factors were partially offset by the impact of slightly lower cross border
volumes on third-quarter 2009 revenue, compared to the same period in 2008.
MasterCard`s gross dollar volume was relatively flat, up 0.3% on a local
currency basis, versus the third quarter of 2008, to $633 billion. Worldwide
purchase volume during the quarter was also relatively flat, up 0.4% on a local
currency basis, versus the third quarter of 2008, to $480 billion. As of
September 30, 2009, the company`s financial-institution customers had issued 964
million MasterCard cards, comparable to the number of cards issued at September
30, 2008.
"We are very pleased with our third-quarter financial results, specifically
since we began to see signs of stabilization in parts of our business," said
Robert W. Selander, MasterCard chief executive officer. "Total processed
transactions continued to grow at a high single-digit rate, with double-digit
growth coming from our Asia Pacific/Middle East/Africa and Latin America
regions. At the same time, our overall cross-border volumes are steadying with
our Asia Pacific region demonstrating significant growth in the quarter, and the
U.S. showing a lower rate of decline. We continued to aggressively manage costs
and improve margins, while still investing in key growth areas across our
business.
"Overall, our results once again underscore the global trend toward electronic
payments, and the strength of our business model," Selander added. "We continue
to make life easier for consumers, businesses and governments, all of whom seek
safer, more controllable and more efficient payment alternatives for everyday
commerce."
Special items for the third quarter of 2009 represented $6.2 million pre-tax
litigation settlement charges. The special item for the third quarter of 2008
represented an $827.5 million net pre-tax charge related to an antitrust
litigation settlement.
Excluding special items, total operating expenses decreased 13.3%, to $685
million, during the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.
Currency fluctuations contributed 1.3 percentage points to the rate of decline.
The decrease in total operating expenses was driven by:
* A 7.9% decrease in general and administrative expenses, primarily resulting
from lower professional fees and travel expenses, along with a benefit from
foreign exchange remeasurement, versus the comparable period in 2008. These
factors were partially offset by increased personnel costs due to severance of
$31 million in the third quarter of 2009. Excluding the impact of severance
costs in both periods, general and administrative expenses declined 13.8% for
the third quarter of 2009. A favorable foreign currency impact represented 1.1
percentage points of both rates of decline; and
* A 29.4% decrease in advertising and marketing expenses versus the year-ago
period, primarily related to reduced investments and continued cost containment
initiatives. Favorable currency fluctuations representing approximately 1.5
percentage points contributed to the rate of decline.
Including special items, total operating expenses decreased 57.3%, to $691
million, primarily due to the net litigation settlement that occurred in the
third quarter of 2008.
Excluding special items, the operating margin was 49.8% for the third quarter of
2009, up 8.8 percentage points over the year-ago period. Including special
items, the operating margin was 49.4% for the third quarter of 2009.
MasterCard's effective tax rate was 32.9% in the third quarter of 2009. For the
third quarter of 2008, the effective tax rate was 39.7%, excluding special
items, and 34.1% including the special items. The difference in the effective
tax rate was primarily due to the charge for the net litigation settlement
recorded in the third quarter of 2008.
Year-to-Date 2009 Results
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, MasterCard reported net income of
$1.2 billion, or $8.95 per diluted share, excluding the impact of special items,
and net income of $1.2 billion, or $8.92 per diluted share, including special
items.
Net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, was $3.8 billion, a
0.9% increase versus the same period in 2008. On a constant currency basis, net
revenue increased 4.4%. Increased processed transactions of 7.0% and pricing
changes of approximately 6 percentage points contributed to the revenue growth
in the year-to-date period. These factors were partially offset by the impact of
slightly lower cross border volumes on revenue for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, relative to the comparable period last year.
Total operating expenses decreased 12.5%, to $2.0 billion, for the nine-month
period compared to the same period in 2008, excluding special items for both
periods. Currency fluctuations contributed 2.5 percentage points of this
decrease. Including special items, operating expenses decreased 57.8%.
Total net other expense was $32 million for the nine-month period versus total
net other income of $169 million for the same period in 2008, including special
items. The decrease in other income 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 33.6% in the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, versus a rate of 36.7% in the comparable period
in 2008. Including the special items, the effective tax rate was 33.6% for the
2009 period, and 40.4% for the 2008 period. The difference in the effective tax
rate was primarily due to the impact of the charge for litigation settlements in
2008.

Note that columns in the tables above may not add due to rounding; growth
represents change from the comparable year-ago period.
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-branded and MasterCard Electronic-branded cards. Growth rates over
prior periods are provided for volume-based data.
Debit transactions on Maestro and Cirrus-branded cards, Mondex 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 receiptor 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.

Relations" section of MasterCard's website at www.mastercard.com.
