Mastercard Incorporated reported strong financial results for the second quarter of 2025, with net revenue reaching $8.133 billion, a 17% increase from $6.961 billion in the same period last year. For the first half of 2025, the company generated $15.383 billion in revenue, up 16% from $13.309 billion in the prior year. The growth was primarily driven by increases in both payment network revenues, which rose 13%, and value-added services, which surged by 23%. Operating income for the quarter was $4.777 billion, reflecting an 18% increase compared to $4.036 billion in Q2 2024, while net income also rose to $3.701 billion from $3.258 billion, marking a 14% increase.
Operating expenses for the second quarter increased by 15% to $3.356 billion, up from $2.925 billion a year earlier. The rise in expenses was attributed to higher general and administrative costs, which grew by 14%, and increased spending on advertising and marketing, which rose by 15%. The effective income tax rate for the quarter was 20.8%, up from 17.3% in the previous year, primarily due to the implementation of a global minimum tax in various jurisdictions.
In terms of operational metrics, Mastercard reported a total of 897,274,172 shares of Class A common stock and 6,737,665 shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of July 28, 2025. The company also repurchased 8.9 million shares for $4.838 billion during the first half of the year, with an average price of $542.27 per share. The remaining authorization for share repurchases stands at $10.35 billion.
Looking ahead, Mastercard remains optimistic about its growth trajectory, citing strong performance in both domestic and cross-border transactions. The company continues to invest in its payment network and value-added services, which are expected to drive future revenue growth. However, it also acknowledges potential risks, including regulatory challenges and market conditions that could impact its operations. The company is committed to maintaining its liquidity and capital resources, with cash, cash equivalents, and investments totaling $9.4 billion as of June 30, 2025.
