Visa drove the adoption of eCommerce and tap to pay to accelerate cash digitization, successfully unlocked new flows by expanding Visa Direct and B2B partnerships, and facilitated client innovation through our value added services. As the world turns increasingly to digital payments, we see tremendous opportunity for growth. We'll remain thoughtful in our investments as we advance our strategy to enable the movement of money for everyone, everywhere."
Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2020 - Financial Highlights
GAAP net income in the fiscal fourth quarter was $2.1 billion or $0.97 per share, decreases of 29% and 28%, respectively, over prior year's results. Current year's results included $357 million from special items related to the remeasurement of deferred tax balances and the resolution of a tax item, $39 million of net gains from equity investments and $17 million related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-recurringacquisition-related costs. Prior year's results included a special item of $370 million for a litigation provision associated with the interchange multi-district litigation ("MDL") case, $42 million of net gains from equity investments and $5 million related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-recurringacquisition-related costs. Excluding these items and the related tax impacts, non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $2.5 billion or $1.12 per share, decreases of 25% and 23%, respectively, over prior year's results (refer to the accompanying financial tables for further details and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures presented). Non-GAAP earnings per share decrease was approximately 23% on a constant-dollar basis. All references to earnings per share assume fully-diluted class A share count.
Net revenues in the fiscal fourth quarter were $5.1 billion, a decrease of 17%, primarily driven by the year-over-year declines in prior quarter payments volume and current quarter cross-border volume, partially offset by growth in processed transactions. Net revenues decrease was approximately 17% on a constant-dollar basis. Had we recognized service revenues on current quarter payments volume and other revenue components remained unchanged, net revenues would have decreased approximately 11%.
Payments volume for the three months ended June 30, 2020, on which fiscal fourth quarter service revenue is recognized, decreased 10% over the prior year on a constant-dollar basis.
Payments volume for the three months ended September 30, 2020, increased 4% over the prior year on a constant-dollar basis.
Cross-border volume excluding transactions within Europe, which drive our international transaction revenues, declined 41% on a constant-dollar basis for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Total cross-border volume on a constant-dollar basis declined 29% in the quarter.
Total processed transactions, which represent transactions processed by Visa, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, were 37.4 billion, a 3% increase over the prior year, led by domestic transactions.
Fiscal fourth quarter service revenues were $2.2 billion, a decrease of 13% over the prior year, and are recognized based on payments volume in the prior quarter. All other revenue categories are recognized based on current quarter activity. Data processing revenues grew 4% over the prior year to $2.9 billion. International transaction revenues declined 38% over the prior year to $1.3 billion. Other revenues of $361 million rose 5% over the prior year. Client incentives, a contra-revenue item, were $1.7 billion and represent 25.0% of gross revenues.
GAAP operating expenses were $2.0 billion for the fiscal fourth quarter, an 18% decrease over the prior year's results, including the amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-recurringacquisition-related costs in the current and prior year and the special item related to the litigation provision associated with the MDL case in the prior year. Excluding these operating expense items, non-GAAP operating expenses decreased 4% over the prior year, primarily driven by general and administrative, professional fees and marketing expenses.
GAAP non-operating expense was $87 million for the fiscal fourth quarter, including $39 million of net equity investment gains. Excluding this item, non-GAAPnon-operating expense was $126 million.
GAAP effective income tax rate was 30.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, including the special items related to the remeasurement of deferred tax balances and the resolution of a tax item as well as the tax impacts of the net equity investment gains, amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-recurringacquisition-related costs.

GAAP net income in the fiscal full-year 2020 was $10.9 billion or $4.89 per share, decreases of 10% and 8%, respectively, over prior year's results. Current year's results included $357 million from special items related to the remeasurement of deferred tax balances and the resolution of a tax item, $101 million of net gains from equity investments and $63 million related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-recurringacquisition-related costs. Prior year's results included a special item of $370 million for a litigation provision associated with the MDL case, $131 million of net gains from equity investments and $10 million related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-recurringacquisition-related costs.

Non-GAAP earnings per share decrease was approximately 6% on a constant-dollar basis.
Net revenues in the fiscal full-year 2020 were $21.8 billion, a decrease of 5%, driven by the year-over-year changes in payments volume, cross-border volume and processed transactions. These key business drivers began to be significantly impacted by COVID-19 in March and are exiting the fiscal year on an improving trajectory. Net revenues decrease was approximately 4% on a constant-dollar basis.

Excluding these operating expense items, non-GAAP operating expenses increased 1% over the prior year, primarily driven by an increase in personnel expenses mostly offset by decreases in marketing and general and administrative expenses.
GAAP non-operating expense was $291 million for the fiscal full-year 2020, including $101 million of net equity investment gains. Excluding this item, non-GAAPnon-operating expense was $392 million.

Other Notable Items
Visa continues to monitor the COVID-19 impact globally. Many countries had stable to positive year-over-year domestic spending growth in the fiscal fourth quarter. Overall cross-border spending remains depressed, led by travel spending, as the majority of borders remain closed. Card not present excluding travel in both domestic and cross-border volume continued to grow at elevated levels even with the gradual recovery of card present spend.
On August 17, 2020, Visa issued fixed-rate senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $3.25 billion with maturities ranging between 7 and 30 years, and interest rates from 0.75% to 2.0%. The weighted-average interest rate is 1.53%. The net proceeds from the offering of the 2027 Notes will be used to fund eligible green projects and the net proceeds from the offering of the 2031 Notes and the 2050 Notes will be used for general corporate purposes.
At the closing of the acquisition of Visa Europe in June 2016, Visa Inc. issued preferred stock to cover certain expenses incurred by Visa in defending and resolving multilateral interchange fee-related claims asserted in the UK and Europe. Visa is required to undertake periodic release assessments to determine if value should be released from the series B and C preferred stock. The first such release assessment occurred on June 21, 2020, the 4th anniversary of the closing of the Visa Europe acquisition. On September 24, 2020, Visa released approximately $7.3 billion from the series B and C convertible participating preferred stock. This did not affect the fully diluted share count.
On October 27, 2020, Visa announced it signed a definitive agreement to acquire YellowPepper. We believe this acquisition will accelerate the adoption of Visa's "network of networks" strategy in Latin America and the Caribbean by significantly reducing the time-to-market and cost for issuers and processors associated with accessing innovative and interoperable solutions, regardless of who owns or operates the payment rails.
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, Visa repurchased 8.2 million shares of class A common stock at an average price of $197.73 per share for $1.6 billion. In the twelve months ended September 30, 2020, Visa repurchased a total of 44.2 million shares of class A common stock at an average price of $183.30 per share for $8.1 billion. The Company had $5.4 billion of remaining authorized funds for share repurchase as of September 30, 2020.
On October 23, 2020, the board of directors declared an increase to Visa's quarterly cash dividend to $0.32 per share of class A common stock (determined in the case of class B and C common stock and series A, B and C convertible participating preferred stock on an as-converted basis) payable on December 1, 2020, to all holders of record as of November 13, 2020.
Financial Outlook for Fiscal Full-Year 2021
Given the continuing impact of COVID-19 and the significant uncertainty in the global economy, it is difficult to reasonably estimate the Company's annual results; therefore we are not providing a fiscal full-year 2021 outlook at this time.

Visa Inc. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Results (unaudited)
We use non-GAAP financial measures of our performance which exclude certain items which we believe are not representative of our continuing operations, as they may be non-recurring or have no cash impact, and may distort our longer-term operating trends. We consider non-GAAP measures useful to investors because they provide greater transparency into management's view and assessment of our ongoing operating performance. Starting in fiscal 2020, we revised our non-GAAP methodology to also exclude the impact of gains and losses on our equity investments, amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related costs for acquisitions that closed in fiscal 2019 and subsequent periods. Prior year amounts have been restated to conform to our current presentation.
- 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 and the related tax impacts 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 developed technology, customer relationships and brands 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 and the related tax impact to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to our past operating performance.
- Acquisition-relatedcosts. 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. It also includes retention equity and deferred equity 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 and the related tax impacts as the expenses are recognized for a limited duration and do not reflect the underlying performance of our business.
- Litigation provision. During the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a litigation provision of $370 million and related tax benefit of $83 million associated with the interchange multidistrict litigation. The tax impact is determined by applying applicable federal and state tax rates to the litigation provision. Under the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan, we recover the monetary liabilities related to the U.S. covered litigation through a reduction to the conversion rate of our class B common stock to shares of class A common stock.
- Remeasurement of deferred tax balances. During the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2020, in connection with the UK enacted legislation that repealed the previous tax rate reduction from 19% to 17% that was effective on April 1, 2020, we remeasured our net deferred tax liabilities as of the enactment date, resulting in the recognition of a non-recurring,non-cash income tax expense of $329 million.
- Resolution of a tax item. During the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2020, we resolved a long- outstanding tax matter, dating back more than 12 years, relating to certain tax filing positions taken prior to our initial public offering. The resolution of this matter resulted in the recognition of a one-time charge to income tax expense of $28 million, which we believe is not representative of our continuing operations and ongoing effective tax rate.

Footnote
Payments volume, including Visa Direct volume, represents the aggregate dollar amount of purchases made with cards and other form factors carrying the Visa, Visa Electron, V PAY and Interlink brands and excludes Europe co-badged volume for the relevant period, and cash volume represents the aggregate dollar amount of cash disbursements obtained with these cards for the relevant period and includes the impact of balance transfers and convenience checks, but excludes proprietary PLUS volume. Total volume represents payments and cash volume.
Visa payment products are comprised of credit and debit programs, and data relating to each program is included in the tables. Debit programs include Visa's signature based and Interlink (PIN) debit programs.
The data presented is based on transactions processed by Visa and reported by Visa's financial institution clients on their operating certificates. Estimates may be utilized if data is unavailable.
On occasion, previously presented information may be updated. Prior period updates, if any, are not material.
Visa's CEMEA region is comprised of countries in Central Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Several European Union countries in Central Europe, Israel and Turkey are not included in CEMEA. LAC is comprised of countries in Central and South America and the Caribbean. International includes Asia Pacific, Canada, CEMEA, Europe and LAC.
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 Visa Inc. volumes are reported ("Nominal USD"). These exchange rates are calculated on a quarterly basis using the established exchange rate for each quarter. To eliminate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar in measuring performance, Visa Inc. also reports year-over-year growth in total volume, payments volume and cash volume on the basis of local currency information ("Constant USD"). This presentation represents Visa's historical methodology which may be subject to review and refinement.
