Also, the company reported $1.6 billion of capital returned to shareholders in the form of share repurchases and dividends.

Alfred F. Kelly, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“We continue to focus on managing our business for the medium and long-term despite the challenges of the global pandemic. In the quarter, we were pleased to see strong growth in areas that are strategically important, including eCommerce, tap to pay, new flows and value-added services. We remain committed to our strategy and are thoughtfully investing to fuel Visa’s future performance.”

Current and prior year’s results also included $17 million and $5 million, respectively, related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-recurring acquisition-related costs.

GAAP operating expenses stood at $1.8 billion for the fiscal third quarter, a 5% decrease over the prior year’s results, including the amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-recurring acquisition-related costs in the current and prior year. Excluding these operating expense items, non-GAAP operating expenses decreased 5% over the prior year, primarily driven by marketing and general and administrative expenses reflecting our overall cost management strategy.

On April 2, 2020, Visa issued fixed-rate senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 billion, with maturities ranging between 7 and 20 years, and interest rates from 1.9% to 2.7%. The weighted-average interest rate is 2.16%. The net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

From the company, they didn’t want to provide a fiscal full-year outlook due to the worldwide spread of COVID-19 which has created significant uncertainty in the global economy.
