Mastercard10-Q: Litigation material

Multiple lawsuits, including with Visa, drive increased litigation settlement payments and impact cash flow

What happened

Operating cash flow decreased by $211M year-over-year, partially due to higher cash paid for litigation settlements. Ongoing legal battles in the U.S., U.K., and Europe create significant financial uncertainty and operational distraction, increasing the need for risk management and cost-efficiency solutions.

Mastercard 10-Q

Filing excerpt

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $211 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to higher net income after adjusting for non-cash items, more than offset by higher customer incentive payments and cash paid for litigation settlements.
