This management’s discussion and analysis provides a review of the results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and capital resources of Visa Inc. and its subsidiaries (Visa, we, us, our or the Company) on a historical basis and outlines the factors that have affected recent earnings, as well as those factors that may affect future earnings. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1—Financial Statements of this report.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that relate to, among other things, our future financial position, results of operations and cash flows; prospects, developments, strategies and growth of our business; anticipated expansion of our products in certain countries and territories; industry developments; anticipated timing and benefits of our acquisitions; expectations regarding litigation matters, investigations and proceedings; timing and amount of stock repurchases; sufficiency of sources of liquidity and funding; effectiveness of our risk management programs; and expectations regarding the impact of recent accounting pronouncements on our unaudited consolidated financial statements. Forward-looking statements generally are identified by words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “projects,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “continue” and other similar expressions. All statements other than statements of historical fact could be forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made, are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. We describe risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes, or the timing of our results or outcomes, to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any of these forward-looking statements in our SEC filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended September 30, 2025, and any subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Except as required by law, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

Visa is a global payments technology company that facilitates secure, reliable and efficient global commerce and money movement. We provide transaction processing services (primarily authorization, clearing and settlement) among consumers, issuing and acquiring financial institutions and sellers. We are focused on extending, enhancing and investing in our proprietary advanced transaction processing network, VisaNet, to offer a single connection point for facilitating money movement to multiple endpoints through various form factors and innovative technologies across more than 200 countries and territories. Visa is not a financial institution. We do not issue cards, extend credit or set rates and fees for account holders of Visa products.

Financial overview. A summary of our GAAP and non-GAAP operating results is as follows:

(1)Figures in the table may not recalculate exactly due to rounding. Percentage changes are calculated based on unrounded numbers.

(2)For a reconciliation of our GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, see tables in Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.

Highlights. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, net revenue increased 17% and 16% over the prior-year comparable periods, respectively, primarily due to the growth in nominal cross-border volume, nominal payments volume and processed transactions, partially offset by higher client incentives. See Results of Operations—Net Revenue below for further discussion. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, exchange rate movements increased our net revenue growth by approximately one percentage point.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, operating expenses decreased 4% over the prior-year comparable period, primarily driven by lower litigation provision, partially offset by higher personnel and marketing expenses. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, operating expenses increased 10% over the prior-year comparable period, primarily driven by higher marketing, personnel and professional fees. See Results of Operations—Operating Expenses below for further discussion. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, exchange rate movements negatively impacted our operating expense growth by approximately two percentage points.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, non-GAAP operating expenses increased 17% over the prior-year comparable periods, primarily driven by higher personnel, marketing and professional fees.

Acquisition. In February 2026, we acquired Prisma Medios de Pago S.A.U. (Prisma) and Newpay S.A.U. (Newpay) in Argentina for a total purchase consideration of $1.5 billion in cash. See Note 2—Acquisitions to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
