Hello,

Thanks for posting about this. We did some checking here, and it looks like Global Payments changed their fiscal year end from May to December, in 2016. The data for year ending May 2016 is populated in 2015. When a company has a transition period, which in this case was seven months, we don’t report the data because it will often times skew the sales and earnings information. In the case of GPN, they would have a transition revenue of $2.2 billion compared to $2.9 billion in 2015, and $3.9 billion in 2017.

The reason for two quarters is because there was only two quarters to report within the short period.
