Revenue of $8.13 billion and adjusted earnings of $4.15 per share both topped expectations by a notable amount. Strict discipline with cost controls helped lead to Improvements in operating margin. In addition, the weakness of the U.S. dollar tended to boost Mastercard's performance slightly in comparison with currency-neutral financial metrics.
