On August 3, 2026, Visa announced it signed a definitive agreement to acquire BioCatch, a leading provider of behavioral-first, multi-signal fraud intelligence, for $2.4 billion in cash. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including applicable regulatory approvals, and is expected to close by the end of the fiscal second quarter of 2027.

On September 18, 2026, Visa deposited $405 million into its litigation escrow account, which was previously established under the Company’s U.S. retrospective responsibility plan to insulate the Company and class A common stockholders from financial liability for certain litigation cases. This deposit has the same economic effect on earnings per share as repurchasing the Company's class A common stock as it reduced each of the as-converted class B-1 common stock, class B-2 common stock and class B-3 common stock share counts at a volume-weighted average price of $366.81.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, Visa repurchased approximately 11 million shares of class A common stock at an average cost of $369.12 per share for $4.0 billion.

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. Constant-dollar financial measures are calculated by using a fixed current year U.S. dollar/foreign currency exchange rate for each local currency for the current and prior year periods, which eliminates the impact of foreign currency transactions in measuring financial performance. We consider non-GAAP measures useful to investors because they provide greater transparency into management’s view and assessment of our ongoing operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon as substitutes for, or considered in isolation from, measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We exclude the following from our GAAP financial results to arrive at our non-GAAP financial results:

•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 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 technology and customer relationships 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 to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to our past operating performance.

•Acquisition-related costs. 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. These costs also include retention equity and deferred 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 as the expenses are recognized for a limited duration and do not reflect the underlying performance of our business.

•Litigation provision. Litigation provision includes significant accruals related to certain legal matters that are not covered by the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan or the Europe retrospective responsibility plan (uncovered legal matters) and additional accruals associated with the interchange multidistrict litigation which are covered by the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan (U.S. covered litigation). Litigation provision associated with these matters can vary significantly based on the facts and circumstances related to each matter and do not correlate to the underlying performance of our business. For the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we have excluded these amounts to facilitate a comparison to our past operating performance.

•Deferred tax benefit (expense). For the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded a deferred tax adjustment within income tax provision due to a change in the U.S. taxation of certain foreign earnings. We have excluded this one-time non-cash amount as it is not representative of our ongoing operations.

•Severance costs. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we recorded severance costs within personnel expense resulting from actions taken to drive operational efficiencies and reinvest in high-growth opportunities. These amounts have been excluded as they are not representative of our ongoing operations.

•Charitable contributions. For the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2026, we donated investments to the Visa Foundation and recognized non-cash general and administrative expenses. We have excluded these amounts as they do not reflect the underlying performance of our business.

•Lease consolidation costs. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a charge within general and administrative expense associated with the consolidation of certain leased office spaces. We have excluded this amount as it does not reflect the underlying performance of our business.
