ATLANTA, Jan. 6, 2011

ATLANTA, Jan. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN) today announced results for its fiscal second quarter ended November 30, 2010.  For the second quarter, revenues grew 8% to $443.5 million compared to $409.0 million in the prior fiscal year.  Normalized diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the quarter were $0.70 compared to $0.71 in the prior year (See Schedule 2 Normalized Income Statements).    On a GAAP basis, the company reported fiscal 2011 second quarter diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the quarter of $0.67 compared to $0.71 in the prior year (See Schedule 1 for GAAP Income Statements).

Normalized second quarter results exclude pretax expenses consisting of certain start-up and duplicative costs related to the company's Global Service Center in Manila, Philippines and employee termination benefits related to Canada.  (See Schedule 7 for Reconciliation of Normalized and Cash Earnings to GAAP).  

Chairman and CEO Paul R. Garcia stated, "Our performance demonstrates continued execution of our growth strategies in all of our regions.  In aggregate, the businesses performed as we expected during the quarter, with especially strong performance in Asia.  Given our solid performance to date and some benefit from favorable currency exchange rates, we are pleased to increase our organic revenue and earnings expectations for the year.

I am also delighted that we have closed our 'la Caixa' acquisition which will of course generate additional revenues and cash earnings.  Just as importantly, 'la Caixa' provides us a leading market position in Spain from which to drive long term growth."  

David E. Mangum, EVP and CFO, stated, "In an effort to assist investors in reviewing the company's underlying performance, and with the acquisition of 'la Caixa', we are supplementing our financial reporting with earnings per share on a cash basis, which excludes the impact of acquisition-related amortization, special or non-recurring charges, and their related tax effects.  On a cash basis, the company reported fiscal 2011 second quarter diluted earnings per share from continuing operations comparable to the prior year quarter of $0.76." (See Schedule 3 Cash Earnings income statements).

The company expects the "la Caixa" joint venture to add revenue of $25 million to $30 million and to be dilutive to our GAAP and normalized earnings per share by $0.02 to $0.04 for fiscal 2011 and accretive by $0.02 to $0.04 to cash earnings per share.  

For the full year of fiscal 2011, including the addition of the "la Caixa" joint venture, the company now expects revenue of $1,780 million to $1,820 million, or 8% to 11% growth over fiscal 2010, and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations on a cash basis of $2.95 to $3.06, reflecting 5% to 9% growth over fiscal 2010, normalized earnings per share from continuing operations of $2.66 to $2.77, reflecting growth of 5% to 9% and GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $2.54 to $2.65 (See Schedule 9 for full details on guidance with and without the impact of "la Caixa").

1 Normalized results exclude expenses consisting of $1.6 million and $2.3 million during the three and six months ended November 30, 2010, respectively, of start-up costs related to our new Global Service Center in Manila, Philippines and $2.4 million and $4.8 million during the three and six months ended November 30, 2010, respectively, related to employee termination and relocation benefits.  Results for the six months ended November 30, 2010 also exclude a $2.5 million one-time, non-cash write-down of a deferred tax asset we established in July 2009 when we purchased the remaining 49% of our UK business.  The write-down resulted from a legislated reduction to the tax rate of 1%.  See schedule 7 for reconciliation of normalized earnings from continuing operations to GAAP.

1 Reflects expenses of $1.6 million and $2.3 million during the three and six months ended November 30, 2010, respectively, of start-up costs related to our new Global Service Center in Manila, Philippines and $2.4 million and $4.8 million during the three and six months ended November 30, 2010, respectively, related to employee termination and relocation benefits, and the related income tax benefits.

2 Represents a one-time, non-cash write-down of a deferred tax asset we established in July 2009 when we purchased the remaining 49% of our UK business.  The write-down resulted from a legislated reduction to the tax rate of 1%.  

3 Represents adjustments to cost of service to exclude acquisition intangible amortization expense from continuing operations and the related income tax benefit.

4 There were no normalized adjustments during the three and six months ended November 30, 2009.

We supplemented our reporting of income from continuing operations and the related earnings per share information determined in accordance with GAAP by reporting income from continuing operations and the related earnings per share for the three and six months ended November 30, 2010 and 2009 on a “normalized”  and "cash earnings" basis in this earnings release as a measure to help evaluate performance. We calculated income from continuing operations and earnings per share on a normalized basis by excluding charges related to employee termination and relocation benefits, certain one-time costs related to our new Global Service Center and the legislated tax rate reduction.  We calculated income from continuing operations on a cash earnings basis by excluding acquisition intangible amortization expense from our normalized results. We exclude these charges in order to more clearly focus on the factors we believe are pertinent to the daily management of our operations. Our income from continuing operations and earnings per share reported on a normalized and cash earnings basis should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, income from continuing operations and earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP. Our measures of income from continuing operations and earnings per share on a normalized and cash earnings basis reflect management’s judgment of particular items, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

See Schedules 11, 12 and 13 for reconciliation of normalized and cash earnings from continuing operations to GAAP.

We supplemented our historical reporting of income from continuing operations and the related earnings per share information determined in accordance with GAAP by reporting income from continuing operations and the related earnings per share on a "cash earnings" basis in this earnings release as a measure to help evaluate performance. We calculated income from continuing operations on a cash earnings basis by excluding acquisition intangible amortization expense from our normalized results. We exclude these charges in order to more clearly focus on the factors we believe are pertinent to the daily management of our operations. Our income from continuing operations and earnings per share reported on a cash earnings basis should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, income from continuing operations and earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP. Our measures of income from continuing operations and earnings per share on a cash earnings basis reflect management’s judgment of particular items, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

2 Represents a one-time, non-cash write-down of a deferred tax asset we established in July 2009 when we purchased the remaining 49% of our UK business.  The write-down resulted from a legislated reduction to the tax rate of 1%.  

3 Represents adjustments to cost of service to exclude acquisition intangible amortization expense from continuing operations and the related income tax benefit.

We supplemented our historical reporting of income from continuing operations and the related earnings per share information determined in accordance with GAAP by reporting income from continuing operations and the related earnings per share for the three months ended August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2010 on a "cash earnings" basis in this earnings release as a measure to help evaluate performance. We calculated income from continuing operations on a cash earnings basis by excluding acquisition intangible amortization expense from our normalized results. We exclude these charges in order to more clearly focus on the factors we believe are pertinent to the daily management of our operations. Our income from continuing operations and earnings per share reported on a cash earnings basis should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, income from continuing operations and earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP. Our measures of income from continuing operations and earnings per share on a cash earnings basis reflect management’s judgment of particular items, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
