Visa Inc Reports Q3-2010 Revenues of 2.0 Billion
Visa Inc. have announced financial results for the Company's fiscal third quarter 2010 ended June 30, 2010. GAAP net income for the quarter was $716 million, or $0.97 per diluted class A common share. The weighted average number of diluted class A common shares outstanding was 738 million. GAAP net operating revenue in the fiscal third quarter of 2010 was $2.0 billion, an increase of 23% over the prior year and driven by strong contributions across all revenue categories, in particular data processing and international transaction revenues.
"Visa delivered a solid financial performance during our fiscal third quarter as we saw continued improvements in global cross border and payments volume growth," said Joseph Saunders, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Visa Inc. "As we look to the remainder of our fiscal 2010 year, we remain focused on integrating our recent acquisition of CyberSource, maintaining strong financial performance and expense control discipline."
"It goes without saying, the United States debit market will undergo changes following implementation of the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act next year," added Saunders. "While it is too early to fully and accurately gauge the impact of the legislation, Visa has demonstrated an ability to manage our business through periods of change. The global shift from cash and checks to digital currency is a powerful force that continues unabated, providing tangible benefits to consumers, merchants, and governments worldwide. I continue to have strong confidence in our prospects for long-term growth driven by Visa's highly resilient network business model, our continued investment in innovation and the expansion of our global reach."
