Total operating expenses for fiscal 2014 were $5.0 billion, and included $450 million of litigation
provision related to the interchange multidistrict litigation. Excluding this provision, adjusted operating
expenses remained flat at $4.6 billion over prior year operating expenses, primarily due to a reduction
in professional fees and personnel expenses, offset by continued investments in infrastructure,
technology and network processing to support our global growth initiatives.
Adjusted financial results. Our financial results for fiscal 2014 and 2012 reflect the impact of
several significant items that we believe are not indicative of our operating performance in the prior or
future years, as they are either non-recurring, have no cash impact or are related to amounts covered
by the retrospective responsibility plan. As such, we believe the presentation of adjusted financial
results excluding the following amounts provides a clearer understanding of our operating performance
for the periods presented.
The following tables present our adjusted financial results for fiscal 2014 and 2012. There were no
comparable adjustments recorded during fiscal 2013.
