“We delivered solid second quarter results that were consistent with our expectations, reflecting the resilience of our business model amidst the ongoing conflict in the Middle East,” said Cameron Bready, chief executive officer. “I am particularly pleased with the progress that we have made on the integration of Worldpay as we combine our complementary capabilities to better serve clients and partners globally.”

Bready continued, “Through consistent execution and a sharp focus on commercial excellence, we continue to capitalize on growth opportunities while further differentiating Global Payments through feature-rich products and distinctive service experiences. This is evidenced by the accelerating adoption of our Genius platform, which continues to gain momentum across the markets we serve. At the same time, we remain at the forefront of innovation by leveraging AI across our ecosystem to enhance our solutions, elevate customer experiences, and drive greater operational efficiency, further strengthening our competitive position and long-term growth prospects.”

Bready concluded, “We are pleased to have returned $1.2 billion in capital to shareholders year-to-date, exceeding 50% of our more than $2 billion plan for 2026, and we remain on track to return approximately $7.5 billion over the 2025 to 2027 time period.”

Second Quarter 2026 Summary

  • GAAP revenues were $3.32 billion and diluted earnings per share were $0.05.

  • Adjusted net revenues increased approximately 34% to $3.16 billion. On a normalized basis1, consistent with our full-year outlook, adjusted net revenue increased approximately 4%. Adjusted operating margin expanded 70 basis points on a normalized basis1 to 42.0%.

  • Adjusted EPS increased 12% to $3.46.

2026 Outlook

“Our second quarter financial results were consistent with expectations and marked our first full quarter operating as a pure-play commerce solutions provider,” said Josh Whipple, chief financial officer. “Our performance further validates the importance of our scale and distribution and our ability to deliver sustainable growth, margin expansion, and free cash flow.”

Whipple continued, “Given the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and its impact on our travel portfolio, we now expect normalized1, constant currency adjusted net revenue growth of approximately 4% – 5% and adjusted earnings per share of $13.60 – $13.80 for the full year. We continue to expect normalized1 adjusted operating margin expansion of approximately 150 basis points for the full year and to return more than $2 billion of capital to shareholders in 2026.”

Conference Call

Global Payments’ management will host a live audio webcast today, August 5, 2026, 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 investors.globalpayments.com. 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 its reporting of revenue, operating income, operating margin, net income attributable to Global Payments, earnings per share, free cash flow, and free cash flow conversion with certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income attributable to Global Payments, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow conversion. 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.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors with evaluating the performance of our business. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to focus on the factors that it believes are relevant to managing our business, operations, and performance. Any non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in context with our reporting in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures. 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

This earnings release and associated webcast contain forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant to the “safe-harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding our business strategy and means to implement the strategy; measures of future financial performance or results of operations; operating metrics such as shares outstanding and capital expenditures; liquidity and deleveraging plans and capital available for allocation; the strategic rationale and anticipated benefits of acquisitions or dispositions, including our acquisition of Worldpay and divestiture of our Issuer Solutions business; the development and introduction of new services and expansion of our business; and the company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Statements can generally be identified as forward-looking because they include words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “estimates,” “forecast,” “budget,” “could,” “should,” “may,” “will,” “would,” or words of similar meaning.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and the industry and geographies in which we operate, and on the beliefs of, and assumptions made by, our management. Although we believe that the plans and expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, actual events, outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in forward-looking statements. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee or give assurance that our plans and expectations will be achieved.

In addition to factors previously disclosed in Global Payments’ reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: difficulties and delays in integrating the Worldpay business into that of Global Payments; failing to fully realize anticipated cost savings and other anticipated benefits of the acquisition of Worldpay, either when expected or at all; business disruptions from the acquisition of Worldpay that may harm our business or operations; failing to comply with the applicable requirements of Visa, Mastercard or other payment networks or card schemes or changes in those requirements; our ability to retain and hire key personnel; uncertainty as to the long-term value of our common stock following the acquisition of Worldpay, including the dilution caused by issuance of additional shares of Global Payments’ common stock in connection with the acquisition of Worldpay; the continued availability of capital and financing; the effects of global economic, political, market, health and social events or other conditions; the imposition of tariffs and other trade policies and the resulting impacts on market volatility and global trade; macroeconomic pressures and general uncertainty regarding the overall future economic environment; foreign currency exchange, inflation and rising interest rate risks; the effect of a security breach or operational failure on our business; the ability to maintain Visa and Mastercard registration and financial institution sponsorship; increased competition in the markets in which we operate; our ability to safeguard our data; risks associated with our indebtedness; the effects of new or changes in current laws, regulations, credit card association rules or other industry standards on us or our partners and customers; and other events beyond our control, and other factors included in the “Risk Factors” section in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other documents that we file with the SEC, which are available at https://www.sec.gov.

These cautionary statements qualify all of our forward-looking statements, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and should not be relied upon as representing our plans and expectations as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update or revise forward-looking statements at some time in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation and do not intend to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Global Payments supplements revenues, operating income, operating margin, net income attributable to Global Payments, and earnings per share (EPS) determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP by providing these measures with certain adjustments (such measures being non-GAAP financial measures) in this document 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. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, together with other metrics, to set goals for and measure the performance of the business and to determine incentive compensation. Adjusted net revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income attributable to Global Payments, 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. 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 operating margin, adjusted net income attributable to Global Payments 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. In addition depreciation expense of certain acquired technology assets is also excluded, as it is a noncash expense and, based on its nature, is impacted by future integration initiatives. Excluding such depreciation expense supplements GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the comparability of operating performance across periods, as such assets were recognized as part of acquisition accounting. 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 margin is derived by dividing adjusted operating income by adjusted net revenue.
