Forward Looking Statements
This communication contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe-harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding Global Payments, including, but not limited to, statements about the strategic rationale and benefits of the proposed sale of AdvancedMD, Inc. to Francisco Partners Management, L.P. (the "Proposed Transaction"). Statements can generally be identified as forward-looking because they include words such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plan," "forecast," "could," "should," "will," "would," or words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements are based on Global Payments’ current plans, objectives, estimates, expectations and intentions and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Global Payments’ control. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained, and therefore actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, risks and uncertainties associated with: Global Payments’ ability to complete the Proposed Transaction on the proposed terms or on the anticipated timeline, or at all, including risks and uncertainties related to securing any necessary regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other closing conditions to consummate the Proposed Transaction; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the definitive agreement relating to the Proposed Transaction; failure to realize the expected benefits of the Proposed Transaction; significant transaction costs and/or unknown or inestimable liabilities; disruptions from the Proposed Transaction, making it more difficult to conduct business as usual or maintain relationships with



customers, employees or suppliers; the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations; effects relating to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction or any further announcements or the consummation of the Proposed Transaction on the market price of Global Payments’ common stock; the risk of potential stockholder litigation associated with the Potential Transaction, including resulting expense or delay; and other risks and uncertainties affecting Global Payments, including those described from time to time under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in Global Payments’ Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings and reports, including Global Payments’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and its other SEC filings and reports. Moreover, other risks and uncertainties of which Global Payments is not currently aware may also affect its forward-looking statements and may cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from those anticipated. Global Payments cautions investors that such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking statements.
These cautionary statements qualify all of our forward-looking statements, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these 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 to publicly release the results of any revisions to our forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Adjusted operating margin expanded 40 basis points to 46.1%.

2024 Outlook
“We are pleased with our financial and operational performance in the third quarter and year-to-date period,” said Josh Whipple, chief financial officer. “Notably, we produced strong adjusted free cash flow in the third quarter and also reduced our net leverage position by nearly a quarter-turn sequentially to 3.3 times, positioning us well to achieve our target by year end.”

Annual adjusted operating margin for 2024 is still expected to expand by up to 50 basis points.”

Exhibit 99.1
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Global Payments supplements revenues, operating income, operating margin and net income and earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP by providing these measures with certain adjustments (such measures being non-GAAP financial measures) in this earnings release 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.

Global Payments also has provided supplemental non-GAAP information to reflect the divestiture of the consumer portion of our Netspend business, which comprised our former Consumer Solutions segment, which closed in April 2023. Management believes that providing such supplemental financial information should enhance shareholders’ ability to evaluate how the business will be managed going forward.

Reconciliations of each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are 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.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Global Payments supplements revenues, operating income, operating margin and net income, 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. 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 EPS and adjusted free cash flow should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, revenues, operating income, EPS and net operating cash flows 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 net income and adjusted EPS exclude acquisition-related amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, acquisition, integration and separation expense, gain or losses in business divestitures, business transformation activities, and certain other items specific to each reporting period as more fully described in the accompanying reconciliations in Schedules 6 and 7. 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.

Adjusted operating margin is derived by dividing adjusted operating income by adjusted net revenue.

The supplemental non-GAAP information excludes the results of the consumer business that was divested in April 2023. Management believes that providing such supplemental financial information should enhance shareholders’ ability to evaluate how the business will be managed going forward.
