International Cards provides MasterCard-, Visa- and Diners-branded credit and charge cards, as well as private label cards and co-branded cards, to more than 26 million customer accounts in 43 countries outside of the U.S. and Canada. Revenues are primarily generated from net interest revenue on receivables, interchange fees on purchase sales and other delinquency or service fees.
NM Not meaningful 24 1Q06 vs. 1Q05 Revenues, net of interest expense, increased, driven by an 8% increase in purchase sales and 14% growth in average receivables across the regions. Operating expenses increased, reflecting continued investment in organic growth, costs associated with a labor settlement in Korea, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) of $9 million, and volume growth across the region. This was partially offset by the absence of 2005 first quarter repositioning expenses of $13 million. Provision for loan losses reflected higher loan loss reserves of $99 million, driven by the industry-wide credit deterioration in Taiwan and an increase in net credit losses in Mexico, reflecting portfolio growth and target market expansion. Net Income also reflected a $20 million tax benefit resulting from the resolution of the Federal Tax Audit. This excerpt taken from the C 8-K filed Apr 15, 2005. International
