The following information is provided to aid in understanding Mastercard’s second quarter 2024 results, versus the year ago period.
Net revenue increased 11%, or 13% on a currency-neutral basis. The increase was attributable to growth in our payment network and our value-added services and solutions.
Payment network net revenue increased 7%, or 9% on a currency-neutral basis. Primary drivers of the increase were as follows:
Gross dollar volume growth of 9%, on a local currency basis, to $2.4 trillion.
Cross-border volume growth of 17% on a local currency basis.
Switched transactions growth of 11%.
This increase in payment network net revenue includes growth in payment network rebates and incentives provided to customers. Payment network rebates and incentives increased 14%, or 16% on a currency-neutral basis, primarily due to an increase in our key drivers as well as new and renewed deals.
Value-added services and solutions net revenue increased 18%, or 19% on a currency-neutral basis. The increase was driven primarily by growth in our underlying key drivers, strong demand for our consulting, data analytics and marketing services, as well as the scaling of our fraud and security and our identity and authentication solutions.
Total operating expenses increased 12%, primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses and litigation provisions. Excluding the impact of Second Quarter Special Items, adjusted operating expenses increased 9%, or 10% on a currency-neutral basis, primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses.
Other income (expense) was unfavorable $145 million versus the year ago period, primarily due to net losses in the current year versus net gains in the prior year related to unrealized fair market value adjustments on marketable equity securities. Adjusted other income (expense) was unfavorable $9 million versus the prior year, primarily due to increased interest expense.
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was 17.3%, versus 23.2% for the comparable period in 2023. The adjusted effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was 17.5%, versus 23.9% for the comparable period in 2023. Both the as-reported and as-adjusted effective tax rates were lower than the prior year rates primarily due to the establishment of a valuation allowance in 2023 as well as a change in our geographic mix of earnings in the current period.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s customers had issued 3.4 billion Mastercard and Maestro-branded cards.

Value-added services and solutions net revenue increased 17%, as reported and on a currency-neutral basis. The increase was driven primarily by growth in our underlying key drivers, strong demand for our consulting, data analytics and marketing services, as well as the scaling of our fraud and security and our identity and authentication solutions.
Total operating expenses increased 8%. Excluding the impact of Year-to-date Special Items, adjusted operating expenses increased 9%, both as adjusted and on a currency-neutral basis. Both the as-reported and as-adjusted operating expense increase was primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses.
Other income (expense) was favorable $92 million versus the year ago period, primarily due to lower net losses related to unrealized fair market value adjustments on marketable and nonmarketable equity securities. Adjusted other income (expense) was favorable $10 million versus the prior year, primarily due to an increase in investment income, partially offset by increased interest expense related to our debt portfolio.
The effective tax rate for year-to-date 2024 was 16.4%, versus 20.6% for the comparable period in 2023. The adjusted effective tax rate for year-to-date 2024 was 16.7%, versus 21.2% for the comparable period in 2023. Both the as-reported and as-adjusted effective tax rates were lower than the prior year rates primarily due to the establishment of a valuation allowance in 2023 as well as a change in our geographic mix of earnings in the current period.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
Mastercard discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating margin, adjusted other income (expense), adjusted effective income tax rate, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share (as well as related applicable growth rates versus the comparable period in the prior year). As described more fully below, these non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of gains and losses on the Company’s equity investments which includes mark-to-market fair value adjustments, impairments and gains and losses upon disposition, as well as the related tax impacts. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude the impact of special items, where applicable, which represent litigation judgments and settlements and certain one-time items, as well as the related tax impacts. The Company excludes these special items because management evaluates the underlying operations and performance of the Company separately from these recurring and nonrecurring items.
In addition, the Company presents growth rates adjusted for the impact of currency, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Currency-neutral growth rates are calculated by remeasuring the prior period’s results using the current period’s exchange rates for both the translational and transactional impacts on operating results, as well as removing the related impact of the Company’s foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments (specifically those that manage the impact of foreign currency variability on anticipated revenues and expenses). The impact of currency translation represents the effect of translating operating results where the functional currency is different from the Company’s U.S. dollar reporting currency. The impact of the transactional currency represents the effect of converting revenue and expenses occurring in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity. The impact of the related realized gains and losses resulting from the Company’s foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments (specifically those that manage the impact of foreign currency variability on anticipated revenues and expenses) is recognized in the respective financial statement line item on the statement of operations when the underlying forecasted transactions impact earnings.
The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented facilitate an understanding of operating performance and provide a meaningful comparison of its results between periods. The Company’s management uses non-GAAP financial measures to, among other things, evaluate its ongoing operations in relation to historical results, for internal planning and forecasting purposes and in the calculation of performance-based compensation.
The Company includes reconciliations of the requisite non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s related financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Footnote
The tables set forth the gross dollar volume (“GDV”), purchase volume, cash volume and the number of purchase transactions, cash transactions and cards on a regional and global basis for Mastercard™-branded cards. Growth rates over prior periods are provided for volume-based data.
Debit transactions on Maestro® and Cirrus®-branded cards and transactions involving brands other than Mastercard are not included in the preceding tables.
For purposes of the table: GDV represents purchase volume plus cash volume and includes the impact of balance transfers and convenience checks; “purchase volume” means the aggregate dollar amount of purchases made with Mastercard-branded cards for the relevant period; and “cash volume” means the aggregate dollar amount of cash disbursements and includes the impact of balance transfers and convenience checks obtained with Mastercard-branded cards for the relevant period. The number of cards includes virtual cards, which are Mastercard-branded payment accounts that do not generally have physical cards associated with them.
The Mastercard payment products are comprised of credit, charge, debit and prepaid programs, and data relating to each type of program is included in the tables. The tables include information with respect to transactions involving Mastercard-branded cards that are not switched by Mastercard and transactions for which Mastercard does not earn significant revenues.
Information denominated in U.S. dollars is calculated by applying an established U.S. dollar/local currency exchange rate for each local currency in which Mastercard volumes are reported. These exchange rates are calculated on a quarterly basis using the average exchange rate for each quarter. Mastercard reports period-over-period rates of change in purchase volume and cash volume on the basis of local currency information, in order to eliminate the impact of changes in the value of currencies against the U.S. dollar in calculating such rates of change.
The data set forth in the GDV, purchase volume, purchase transactions, cash volume and cash transactions columns is provided by Mastercard customers and is subject to verification by Mastercard and partial cross-checking against information provided by Mastercard’s transaction switching systems. The data set forth in the cards columns is provided by Mastercard customers and is subject to certain limited verification by Mastercard. A portion of the data set forth in the cards columns reflects the impact of routine portfolio changes among customers and other practices that may lead to over counting of the underlying data in certain circumstances. All data is subject to revision and amendment by Mastercard or Mastercard’s customers.
Performance information for prior periods can be found in the Investor Relations section of the Mastercard website at investor.mastercard.com.
