Global Payments Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. "We are pleased to have again delivered results in the second quarter modestly ahead of our expectations, while continuing to drive significant positive change in our organization through our transformation program,' said Cameron Bready, CEO. "We are pleased to have again delivered results in the second quarter modestly ahead of our expectations, while continuing to drive significant positive change in our organization through our transformation program,' said Cameron Bready, chief executive officer. "This performance highlights not only the resilience of our business model, but also our team's ability to execute at scale and advance a substantial number of key initiatives while delivering on our business outcomes.' Bready continued, 'The successful launch of Genius this quarter was a critical milestone in our transformation program, and we are delighted with the early momentum we are building. We also completed the rollout of our revamped sales incentive plan across all of our U.S. sales teams as we continue to implement our salesforce of the future initiative. We remain on track to execute much of our transformation agenda during 2025, and have accelerated a number of initiatives to better position us for the integration of Worldpay at close in the first half of 2026. "To that end, we are making solid progress on the acquisition of Worldpay and divestiture of our Issuer Solutions business to accelerate our transformation and unlock value for shareholders. We have initiated all of the required regulatory approval processes for the transactions, and notably cleared antitrust review in the U.S. upon the expiry of the HSR waiting period in July. Further, we have launched integration planning activities, with an emphasis on accelerating growth, enhancing our competitiveness and realizing targeted synergies, all while unifying as one company under a single brand and combining the best talent from both organizations to build the industry's strongest team. We are preparing for a seamless close and our work has further increased our conviction in revenue and expense synergy opportunities we outlined in April.' Bready concluded, 'We are more confident than ever the combined business with Worldpay will meaningfully enhance our financial profile, deliver sustainable performance, and unlock value for our shareholders." Second Quarter 2025 Summary GAAP revenues were $1.96 billion 1, diluted EPS were $0.99, and operating margin was 21.8%. Adjusted net revenues increased 2% (5% constant currency excluding dispositions) to $2.36 billion. Adjusted EPS increased 11% (11% constant currency) to $3.10. Adjusted operating margin expanded 130 basis points to 44.6%. 2025 Outlook 'We are pleased with our financial and operational performance in the second quarter, which was slightly better than our expectations and positions us well for the balance of the year," said Josh Whipple, chief financial officer. Whipple continued, "The company continues to expect constant currency adjusted net revenue growth in the range of 5% to 6%, excluding dispositions, for the full year. We now expect annual adjusted operating margin expansion to be slightly more than 50 basis points, excluding dispositions, and for our constant currency adjusted earnings per share growth to be at the high end of the 10% to 11% range in 2025.' Whipple concluded, 'Our outlook reflects the business' solid forward momentum as we execute on our strategy and transformation agenda and a macro backdrop consistent with the current environment. We remain on track to close the Worldpay acquisition and the sale of our Issuer Solutions business to FIS in the first half of 2026, which will enable the business to accelerate profitability and significantly enhance our long-term capital allocation commitments.' Financial Reporting Considerations for Pending Issuer Solutions Transaction Effective this quarter, the company began accounting for the Issuer Solutions business as discontinued operations as a result of the announced divestiture to Fidelity National Information Services. Until closing, Issuer Solutions will continue to operate as a business of Global Payments; accordingly, our non-GAAP financial measures reflect total company performance. Capital Allocation Global Payments' Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.25 per share payable on September 26, 2025 to shareholders of record as of September 12, 2025. The company plans to enter into a $500 million accelerated share repurchase plan. Conference Call Global Payments' management will host a live audio webcast today, August 6, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. ET to discuss financial results and business highlights. The audio webcast, along with supplemental financial information, can be accessed via the investor relations page of the company's website at A replay of the audio webcast will be archived on the company's website following the live event. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Global Payments supplements revenues, operating income, operating margin and net income and earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP by providing these measures with certain adjustments (such measures being non-GAAP financial measures) in this earnings release 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. The constant currency growth measures adjust for the impact of exchange rates and are calculated using average exchange rates during the comparable period in the prior year. Reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the schedules to this release, except for forward-looking measures where a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the items that are excluded from the non-GAAP outlook measures. The company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Adjusted net revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted EPS should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, revenues, operating 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 net revenue reflects total company performance, including discontinued 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. Adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS exclude acquisition-related amortization expense, acquisition, integration, separation and transformation expense, gains or losses on business dispositions, and certain other items specific to each reporting period as more fully described in the accompanying reconciliations in Schedules 6 and 7. 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. In addition, income taxes on adjustments include the removal of tax charges related to business dispositions. Adjusted operating income reflects total company performance, including discontinued operations. Adjusted operating margin is derived by dividing adjusted operating income by adjusted net revenue.

(NYSE:GPN) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter: "Global Payments Inc. (NYSE:GPN) was the top detractor during the quarter. The U.S.-headquartered transaction and payment processing company's shares sold off during the period as investors reacted negatively to an announced acquisition of Worldpay and divestiture of the Issuer Solutions business. We believe investors underappreciate the long-term strategic and financial merits of this transaction. Moreover, we are pleased that management is still committed to returning a substantial amount of capital to shareholders. We believe Global Payments can return close to one-third of its current market cap to shareholders over the next three years and that capital returns could grow meaningfully from there as the benefits of the Worldpay deal are fully realized."
