EURONET WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) GENERAL

Organization

Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (the "Company" or "Euronet") was established as a Delaware corporation on December 13, 1996 and succeeded Euronet Holding N.V. as the group holding company, which was founded and established in 1994. Euronet is a leading electronic payments provider. Euronet offers payment and transaction processing and distribution solutions to financial institutions, retailers, service providers and individual consumers. Euronet's primary product offerings include comprehensive ATM, point-of-sale ("POS"), card outsourcing, card issuing and merchant acquiring services, electronic distribution of prepaid mobile airtime and other electronic payment products, and international payment services.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the records of the Company, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, such unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial position and the results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the interim periods. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, including the notes thereto, set forth in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include computing income taxes, estimating the useful lives and potential impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, as well as allocating the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions and revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024.

Seasonality

Euronet’s EFT Processing Segment normally experiences its heaviest demand for dynamic currency conversion ("DCC") services during the third quarter of the fiscal year, normally coinciding with the tourism season. The epay Segment is normally impacted by seasonality during the fourth quarter and first quarter of each year due to higher transaction levels during the holiday season and lower levels following the holiday season. Also, epay sells large loyalty rewards campaigns to retailers, which could be deployed in any given quarter and will impact the activity in that quarter accordingly. Seasonality in the Money Transfer Segment varies by region of the world. In most markets, Euronet usually experiences increased demand for money transfer services from the month of May through the fourth quarter of each year, coinciding with the increase in worker migration patterns and various holidays, and its lowest transaction levels during the first quarter of the year.

(2) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding segment reporting. The standard requires that public entities expand reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The Company is required to adopt the new standard for its 2024 annual reporting and effective January 1, 2025 for its interim reporting, using a retrospective approach. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s disclosures.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding income tax disclosures. The standard requires that public entities disclose more consistent and detailed categories in their statutory to effective income tax rate reconciliations and further disaggregate income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The Company is required to adopt the new standard for its 2025 annual reporting, using a prospective approach. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s disclosures.

(3) ACQUISITIONS

Acquisitions 2024

On February 1, 2024, Euronet acquired Infinitium Group, a leading regional solutions provider with Payments Authentication services, for a purchase consideration of $70.0 million cash and $5.0 million of the Company’s common stock to be paid over two installments on February 1, 2026 and 2027. The Company preliminary allocated $51.0 million of the purchase consideration to customer relationships, $5.6 million to acquired net assets, and the remaining $18.4 million to goodwill.

(4) SETTLEMENT ASSETS AND OBLIGATIONS

Settlement assets represent funds received or to be received from agents for unsettled money transfers and from merchants for unsettled prepaid transactions. The Company records corresponding settlement obligations relating to accounts payable. Settlement assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other current assets. The settlement cash held at the Company is primarily generated from the monies remitted by consumers through Company agents and financial institutions in payment of the face value of the payment service or foreign currency purchased and the related fees charged to purchase the currency. The Company uses its cash and cash equivalents to pay the face value of the payment service product upon presentation by the recipient. Cash received by Company agents and merchants generally becomes available to us within two weeks after initial receipt by the business partner. Receivables from business partners represent funds collected by such business partners that are in transit to us.

Settlement obligations consist of accrued expenses for money transfers, content providers, and EFT customer deposits and accounts payable to agents and content providers. Money transfer accrued expenses represent amounts to be paid to transferees when they request funds. Most agents typically settle with transferees first then obtain reimbursement from us. Money order accrued expenses represent amounts not yet presented for payment. Due to the agent funding and settlement process, accrued expenses to agents represent amounts due to agents for money transfers that have not been settled with transferees.

	As of
(in millions)	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Settlement assets:
Settlement cash and cash equivalents	$	250.8	$	327.4

(5) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has been computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the respective period, after adjusting for the potential dilution of options to purchase the Company’s common stock, assumed vesting of restricted stock units and the assumed conversion of the Company’s convertible debt, if such conversion would be dilutive.

The following table provides the computation of diluted earnings and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding:

(in millions)		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2024		2023
Computation of diluted earnings:
Net income	$	26.2	$	20.1
Add: Interest expense from assumed conversion of convertible notes, net of tax		0.9		0.8
Net income for diluted earnings per share calculation	$	27.1	$	20.9

Computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding:
Basic weighted average shares outstanding		45,816,943		49,811,368
Incremental shares from assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units		363,822		381,614
Incremental shares from assumed conversion of convertible debt		2,781,818		2,781,818
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding		48,962,583		52,974,800

The table includes all stock options and restricted stock units that are dilutive to the Company's weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes stock options or shares of restricted stock units that are anti-dilutive to the Company's weighted average common shares outstanding of approximately 3.3 million and 2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Euronet issued Convertible Senior Notes ("Convertible Notes") due March 2049 on March 18, 2019. The Convertible Notes currently have a settlement feature requiring us upon conversion to settle the principal amount of the debt and any conversion value in excess of the principal value ("conversion premium"), for cash or shares of Euronet's common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company's option. The Company has stated its intent to settle any conversion of these notes by paying cash for the principal value and issuing common stock for any conversion premium; however, after adopting ASU 2020-06, 2.8 million incremental shares assumed for conversion of convertible notes is required to be included in the dilutive earnings per share calculation, if dilutive, regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. Therefore, the Convertible Notes were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share if their inclusion was dilutive. The dilutive effect increases the more the market price exceeds the conversion price of $188.73 per share. See Note 10, Debt Obligations, to the consolidated financial statements for more information about the Convertible Notes.

Share repurchases

On September 13, 2022, the Company put a repurchase program in place to repurchase up to $350 million in value, but not more than 7.0 million shares of common stock through September 13, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, approximately $96.6 million in value of additional shares were available to be repurchased under this repurchase program. On September 13, 2023, the Company put a repurchase program in place to repurchase up to $350 million in value, but not more than 7.0 million shares of common stock through September 13, 2025. As of March 31, 2024, all shares were available to be repurchased under this repurchase program. Repurchases under the programs may take place in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including derivative transactions, and may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists entirely of foreign currency translation adjustments. The Company recorded foreign currency translation adjustments of ($45.0) million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $20.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. There were no reclassifications of foreign currency translation adjustments into the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

(6) GOODWILL AND ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

A summary of acquired intangible assets and goodwill activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is presented below:


(in millions)	Acquired Intangible Assets			Goodwill			Total Intangible Assets
Balance as of December 31, 2023	$	167.6		$	847.5		$	1,015.1
Increases (decreases):
Acquisition	51.0			18.4			69.4
Amortization	(5.5		)	—			(5.5		)

Credit Facility

On October 24, 2022, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) to increase the facility from $1.03 billion to $1.25 billion and to extend the expiration to October 24, 2027.

The revolving credit facility contains a sublimit of up to $250 million, with $150 million committed, for the issuance of letters of credit and a $75 million sublimit for U.S. dollar swingline loans and a $75 million sublimit for swingline loans in euros or British pounds sterling. The Credit Facility allows for borrowings in British pounds sterling, euro and U.S. dollars. Subject to certain conditions, the Company has the option to increase the credit facility by up to an additional $500 million by requesting additional commitments from existing or new lenders. Fees and interest on borrowings vary based upon the Company's corporate credit rating and will be based, in the case of letter of credit fees, on a margin, and in the case of interest, on a margin over a secured overnight financing rate, as defined in the agreement, with a margin, including the facility fee, ranging from 1.00% to 1.625% or the base rate, as selected by the Company. The applicable margin for borrowings under the credit facility, based on the Company's current credit rating is 1.25% including the facility fee.

The Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants, including (all as defined in the Credit Facility): (i) a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, depending on certain circumstances defined in the Credit Facility, not to exceed a range between 3.5 to 1.0 and 4.5 to 1.0; and (ii) a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 3.0 to 1.0. Subject to meeting certain customary covenants (as defined in the Credit Facility), the Company is permitted to repurchase common stock and debt. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2024.

Convertible Notes

On March 18, 2019, the Company completed the sale of $525.0 million of Convertible Senior Notes ("Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes mature in March 2049 unless redeemed or converted prior to such date, and are convertible into shares of Euronet common stock at a conversion price of approximately $188.73 per share if certain conditions are met (relating to the closing price of Euronet common stock exceeding certain thresholds for specified periods). Holders of the Convertible Notes have the option to require the Company to purchase their notes on each of March 15, 2025, March 15, 2029, March 15, 2034, March 15, 2039 and March 15, 2044 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant repurchase date. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company recorded $12.8 million in debt issuance costs, which are being amortized through March 1, 2025.

The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at its option, (i) if the closing sale price of the Company's Common Stock has been at least 130 % of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption and (ii) on or after March 20, 2025 and prior to the maturity date, regardless of the foregoing sale price condition, in each case at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes. In addition, if a fundamental change, as defined in the Indenture, occurs prior to the maturity date, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. As of March 31, 2024, the conversion threshold was not met. Contractual interest expense for the Convertible Notes was $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively.

1.375% Senior Notes due 2026

On May 22, 2019, the Company completed the sale of €600.0 million ($669.9 million) aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes that are due in May 2026 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 1.375% per year, payable annually in arrears commencing May 22, 2020, until maturity or earlier redemption. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has outstanding €600.0 million ($646.9 million) principal amount of the Senior Notes. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of these notes on or after February 22, 2026 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

The loan is a Prime rate loan, a Bloomberg Short-term Bank Yield ("BSBY") rate loan plus 0.95% or bears interest at the rate agreed to by the Bank and the Company at the time such loan is made. The weighted-average interest rate from the loan inception date to March 31, 2024 was 6.31%.

Other obligations

Certain of the Company's subsidiaries have available lines of credit and overdraft credit facilities that generally provide for short-term borrowings that are used from time to time for working capital purposes. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, borrowings under these arrangements were $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

(11) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk resulting from (i) the collection of funds or the settlement of money transfer transactions in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, (ii) derivative contracts written to its customers in connection with providing cross-currency money transfer services and (iii) certain foreign currency denominated other asset and liability positions. The Company enters into foreign currency derivative contracts, primarily foreign currency forwards and cross-currency swaps, to minimize its exposure related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As a matter of Company policy, the derivative instruments used in these activities are economic hedges and are not designated as hedges under ASC 815, primarily due to either the relatively short duration of the contract term or the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates are reflected concurrently in earnings for both the derivative instrument and the transaction and have an offsetting effect.

Foreign currency exchange contracts - Ria Operations and Corporate

In the United States, the Company uses short-duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities up to 14 days, to offset the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates on the collection of money transfer funds between initiation of a transaction and its settlement. Due to the short duration of these contracts and the Company’s credit profile, the Company is generally not required to post collateral with respect to these foreign currency forward contracts. Most derivative contracts executed with counterparties in the U.S. are governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreement that includes standard netting arrangements; therefore, asset and liability positions from forward contracts and all other foreign exchange transactions with the same counterparty are net settled upon maturity. The Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding in the U.S. with a notional value of $400.8 million and $393.3 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The foreign currency forward contracts consist primarily in Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds sterling, euros and Mexican pesos.

In addition, the Company uses forward contracts, typically with maturities from a few days to less than one year, to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain short-term borrowings that are payable in currencies other than the U.S dollar. The Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional value of $490.1 million and $563.1 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, primarily in euro.

Foreign currency exchange contracts - xe Operations

xe writes derivative instruments, primarily foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps, mostly with counterparties comprised of individuals and small-to-medium size businesses and derives a currency margin from this activity as part of its operations. xe aggregates its foreign currency exposures arising from customer contracts and hedges the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties. Foreign exchange revenues from xe's total portfolio of positions were $20.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, respectively, and $20.1 million for the same period in 2023, respectively. All of the derivative contracts used in the Company's xe operations are economic hedges and are not designated as hedges under ASC 815. The duration of these derivative contracts is generally less than one year.

The fair value of xe's total portfolio of positions can change significantly from period to period based on, among other factors, market movements and changes in customer contract positions. xe manages counterparty credit risk (the risk that counterparties will default and not make payments according to the terms of the agreements) on an individual counterparty basis. It mitigates this risk by entering contracts with collateral posting requirements and/or by performing financial assessments prior to contract execution, conducting periodic evaluations of counterparty performance and maintaining a diverse portfolio of qualified counterparties. xe does not expect any significant losses from counterparty defaults.

The aggregate equivalent U.S. dollar notional amount of foreign currency derivative customer contracts held by the Company in its xe operations as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $1.1 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. The significant majority of customer contracts are written in major currencies such as the euro, U.S. dollar, British pounds sterling, Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar.

(a) The Company enters into derivative contracts such as foreign currency exchange forwards and cross-currency swaps as part of its xe operations. These derivative contracts are excluded from this table as they are part of the broader disclosure of foreign currency exchange revenues for this business discussed above.

See Note 12, Fair Value Measurements, for the determination of the fair values of derivatives.

(12) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements used in the unaudited consolidated financial statements are based upon the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing.

The following table details financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:

		As of March 31, 2024
(in millions)	Balance Sheet Classification	Level 1		Level 2			Level 3		Total
Assets
Foreign currency exchange contracts	Other current assets	$	—	$	27.5		$	—	$	27.5
Liabilities

Other Fair Value Disclosures

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and short-term debt obligations approximate fair values due to their short maturities. The carrying values of the Company’s revolving credit agreements approximate fair values because interest as of March 31, 2024 was based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") that resets at various intervals of less than one year. The Company estimates the fair value of the Convertible Notes and Senior Notes using quoted prices in inactive markets for identical liabilities (Level 2). As of March 31, 2024, the fair values of the Convertible Notes and Senior Notes were $538.0 million and $609.0 million, respectively, with carrying values of $525.0 million and $646.9 million, respectively.

The following table presents the Company's revenues disaggregated by segment and region. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues. The Company believes disaggregation by segment and region best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The disaggregation of revenues by segment and region is based on management's assessment of segment performance together with allocation of financial resources, both capital and operating support costs, on a segment and regional level. Both segments and regions benefit from synergies achieved through concentration of operations and are influenced by macro-economic, regulatory and political factors in the respective segment and region.

(14) INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective income tax rate was 37.9% and 46.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was higher than the applicable statutory income tax rate of 21% mainly as a result of our U.S. deferred tax activity and certain foreign earnings being subject to higher local statutory tax rates and our U.S. deferred tax activity. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was higher than the applicable statutory income tax rate of 21% as a result of our U.S. deferred tax activity on foreign exchange positions and certain of our foreign earnings being subject to higher local statutory tax rates.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar 2 guidelines published to date include transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar 2 global minimum tax of 15%. Based on current enacted legislation effective in 2024, the Company does not expect a material impact in 2024. We are monitoring developments and evaluating the impacts these new rules will have on our future income tax provision and effective income tax rate.

(15) COMMITMENTS

The Company has entered into agreements with certain third parties, including banks that provide fiduciary and other services to the Company or the Company's benefit plans. Under such agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify such service providers for third-party claims relating to carrying out their respective duties under such agreements.

The Company is also required to meet minimum capitalization and cash requirements of various regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Company has operations. The Company has obtained surety bonds in compliance with money transfer licensing requirements of the applicable governmental authorities.

To date, the Company is not aware of any significant claims made by the indemnified parties or third parties to guarantee agreements with the Company and, accordingly, no liabilities were recorded as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

From time to time, the Company is a party to legal or regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of the Company's business. Currently, there are no legal proceedings or regulatory findings that management believes, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case.

(17) LEASES

The Company enters into operating leases for ATM sites, office spaces, retail stores and equipment. The Company's finance leases are immaterial. Right of use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease terms.

The present value of lease payments is determined using the incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Most leases include an option to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease terms. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease terms. The Company also has a unilateral termination right for most of the ATM site leases. Since the Company is not reasonably certain not to exercise termination options, payments for ATM site leases with termination options subject to the short-term lease exemption are expensed in the period incurred and corresponding leases are excluded from the right of use lease asset and lease liability balances. Certain of the Company's lease agreements include variable rental payments based on revenues generated from the use of the leased location and certain leases include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Variable lease payments are recognized when the event, activity or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed occurs and are excluded from the right of use assets and lease liabilities balances. The lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Future minimum lease payments

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases (with initial lease terms in excess of one year) as of March 31, 2024 are:

	As of March 31, 2024
Maturity of Lease Liabilities (in millions)	Operating Leases (1)

We operate a network that includes approximately 808,000 POS terminals that enable electronic processing of prepaid mobile airtime "top-up" services and other digital media content.

3) The Money Transfer Segment provides global money transfers and currency exchange information in retail stores, apps, and websites through Ria Money Transfer, Xe and the Dandelion cross-border real-time payments network. Euronet’s Money Transfer segment offers real-time, cross-border payments to consumers and businesses across 198 countries and territories, enabling banks, fintechs and big tech platforms to integrate an international payments solution into their own platforms. Ria Money Transfer offers real-time international money transfers with a special focus on emerging markets.

We have 36 principal offices in Europe, 14 in Asia Pacific, 10 in North America, three in the Middle East, two in South America and one in Africa. Our executive offices are located in Leawood, Kansas, USA. With approximately 74% of our revenues denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, any significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates will likely have a significant impact on our results of operations (for a further discussion, see Item 1A - Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023).

SOURCES OF REVENUES AND CASH FLOW

Euronet earns revenues and income primarily from ATM management fees, transaction fees, commissions and foreign currency exchange margin. Each operating segment’s sources of revenues are described below.

EFT Processing Segment — Revenues in the EFT Processing Segment, which represented approximately 25% of total consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are derived from fees charged for transactions made by cardholders on our proprietary network of ATMs, fixed management fees and transaction fees we charge to customers for operating ATMs and processing debit and credit cards under outsourcing and cross-border acquiring agreements, foreign currency exchange margin on DCC transactions, domestic and international surcharge, foreign currency dispensing and other value added services such as advertising, prepaid telecommunication recharges, bill payment, and money transfers provided over ATMs. Revenues in this segment are also derived from cardless payment, banknote recycling, tax refund services, license fees, professional services and maintenance fees for proprietary application software and sales of related hardware.

epay Segment — Revenues in the epay Segment, which represented approximately 30% of total consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are primarily derived from commissions or processing fees received from mobile phone operators for the processing and distribution of prepaid mobile airtime and commissions earned from the distribution of other electronic content, vouchers, and physical gifts. The proportion of epay Segment revenues earned from the distribution of prepaid mobile phone time as compared with other electronic products has decreased over time, and digital media content now produces approximately 67% of epay Segment revenues. Other electronic content offered by this segment includes digital content such as music, games, and software, as well as other products including prepaid long distance calling card plans, prepaid Internet plans, prepaid debit cards, gift cards, vouchers, transport payments, lottery payments, bill payment, and money transfer.

Money Transfer Segment — Revenues in the Money Transfer Segment, which represented approximately 45% of total consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024, respectively, are primarily derived from transaction fees, as well as the margin earned from purchasing foreign currency at wholesale exchange rates and selling the foreign currency to customers at retail exchange rates. We have a sending agent network in place comprised of agents, customer service representatives, Company-owned stores, primarily in North America, Europe and Malaysia, Ria, and xe branded websites, along with a worldwide network of correspondent agents, consisting primarily of financial institutions in the transfer destination countries. Under the brand "Dandelion", Ria offers payment processing services to third party partners. The Dandelion cross-border payments platform provides financial institutions, fintechs such as digital wallets and banks, and enterprise software companies access to Euronet's money transfer network through an API connection. Sending and correspondent agents each earn fees for cash collection and distribution services, which are recognized as direct operating costs at the time of sale. .

Corporate Services, Eliminations and Other — In addition to operating in our principal operating segments described above, our “Corporate Services, Eliminations and Other” category includes non-operating activity, certain inter-segment eliminations and the cost of providing corporate and other administrative services to the operating segments, including most share-based compensation expense. These services are not directly identifiable with our reportable operating segments.

Opportunities and Challenges

The global product markets in which we operate are large and fragmented, which poses both opportunities and challenges for our technology to disrupt new and existing competition. As an organization, our focus is on increasing our market presence through both physical (ATMs, POS terminals, Company stores and agent correspondents) and digital assets and providing new and improved products and services for customers through all of our channels, which may in turn drive an increase in the number of transactions on our networks. Each of these opportunities also presents us with challenges, including differentiating our portfolio of products and services in highly competitive markets, the successful development and implementation of our software products and access to financing for expansion.

1) The EFT Processing Segment opportunities include physical expansion into target markets, developing value-added products or services, increasing high value DCC and surcharge transactions and efficiently leveraging our portfolio of software solutions. Our opportunities are dependent on renewing and expanding our card acceptance, ATM, POS and merchant acquiring services, cash supply and other commercial agreements with customers and financial institutions. Operational challenges in the EFT Processing Segment include obtaining and maintaining the required licenses and sponsorship agreements in markets in which we operate and navigating frequently changing rules imposed by international card organizations, such as Visa^® and Mastercard^®, that govern ATM interchange fees, direct access fees and other restrictions. Our profitability is dependent on the laws and regulations that govern DCC transactions, specifically in the E.U., as well as the laws and regulations of each country in which we operate. These laws and regulations may impact our cross-border and cross-currency transactions. The timing and amount of revenues in the EFT Processing Segment is uncertain and unpredictable due to inherent limitations in managing our estate of ATMs. Our ATM estate is dependent on contracts that cover large numbers of ATMs, and management is complicated by legal and regulatory considerations of local countries, as well as customers' decisions whether to outsource ATMs. Inflationary pressure may impact our business as travelers have less cash available to spend on vacations.

2) The epay Segment opportunities include renewing existing and negotiating new agreements in target markets in which we operate, primarily with digital content providers, mobile operators, financial institutions and retailers. The overall growth rate in the digital media content and prepaid mobile phone markets, shifts between prepaid and postpaid services, and our market share in those respective markets will have a significant impact on our ability to maintain and grow the epay Segment revenues. There is significant competition in these markets that may impact our ability to grow organically and increase the margin we earn and the margin that we pay to retailers. The profitability of the epay Segment is dependent on our ability to adapt to new technologies that may compete with POS distribution of digital content and prepaid mobile airtime, as well as our ability to leverage cross-selling opportunities with our EFT and Money Transfer Segments. The epay Segment opportunities may be impacted by government-imposed restrictions on retailers and/or content providers with whom we partner in countries in which we have a presence, and corresponding licensure requirements mandated upon such parties to legally operate in such countries.

3) The Money Transfer Segment opportunities include expanding our portfolio of products and services to new and existing customers around the globe, which in turn may lead to an increase in transaction volumes. The opportunities to expand are contingent on our ability to effectively leverage our network of bank accounts for digital money transfer delivery, maintaining our physical agent network, cross selling opportunities with our EFT and epay Segments and our penetration into high growth money transfer corridors. The challenges inherent in these opportunities include maintaining compliance with all regulatory requirements, maintaining all required licenses, ensuring the recoverability of funds advanced to agents and the continued reliance on the technologies required to operate our business. The volume of transactions processed on our network is impacted by shifts in our customer base, which can change rapidly with worker migration patterns and changes in unbanked populations across the globe. Foreign regulations that impact cross-border migration patterns and the money transfer markets can significantly impact our ability to grow the number of transactions on our network.

For all segments, our continued expansion may involve additional acquisitions that could divert our resources and management time and require integration of new assets with our existing networks and services. Our ability to effectively manage our growth has required us to expand our operating systems and employee base, particularly at the management level, which has added incremental operating costs. An inability to continue to effectively manage expansion could have a material adverse effect on our business, growth, financial condition or results of operations. Inadequate technology and resources would impair our ability to maintain current processing technology and efficiencies, as well as deliver new and innovative services to compete in the marketplace. Recently, inflation has been increasing our cost structure in many parts of the world in which we operate.

Impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates

Our revenues and local expenses are recorded in the functional currencies of our operating entities, and then are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes; therefore, amounts we earn outside the U.S. are negatively impacted by a stronger U.S. dollar and positively impacted by a weaker U.S. dollar. If significant, in our discussion we will refer to the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in our comparison of operating segment results.

To provide further perspective on the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, the following table shows the changes in values relative to the U.S. dollar of the currencies of the countries in which we have our most significant operations:

	Average Translation Rate Three Months Ended March 31,

Revenues

EFT Processing Segment total revenues were $217.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $25.0 million or 13% compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in revenues was primarily due to the increase in domestic and international cash withdrawal transactions resulting from the increase in travel bringing more tourists, the increase in low-value point-of-sale transactions in Europe and low-value payment processing transactions in Asia Pacific. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates increased revenues by approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

Direct operating costs

EFT Processing Segment direct operating costs were $131.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $12.1 million or 10% compared to the same period in 2023. Direct operating costs primarily consist of site rental fees, cash delivery costs, cash supply costs, maintenance, insurance, telecommunications, payment scheme processing fees, data center operations-related personnel, as well as the processing centers’ facility-related costs and other processing center-related expenses and commissions paid to retail merchants, banks and card processors.

The increase in direct costs was primarily due to the increase in number of ATMs, and an increase in high volume low value cash transactions in Asia Pacific. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates increased direct operating costs by approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

Gross profit

Revenues

epay Segment total revenues were $257.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $19.7 million or 8% compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was driven by continued expansion in mobile and digital branded payments. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates increased revenue by approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023.

Revenue per transaction increased to $0.27 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $0.24 for the same period in 2023. The increase in revenue per transaction was primarily due to the rise in account activations, coupled with improved margins, reduced costs, and a boost in sales volume, offset by declines in promotional campaigns delivered on behalf of our retail partners that were recognized in the prior year that did not repeat in the first quarter this year.

Direct operating costs

epay Segment direct operating costs were $195.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $17.0 million or 10% compared to the same period in 2023. Direct operating costs primarily consist of the commissions paid to retail merchants for the distribution and sale of prepaid mobile airtime and other prepaid products, expenses incurred to operate POS terminals and the cost of vouchers sold and physical gifts fulfilled. Foreign currency exchange rates increased direct operating costs by $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in direct operating costs was the result of increase in business activity and inflationary pressure.

Gross profit

Gross profit was $62.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $2.7 million or 5% compared to $59.3 million for the same period in 2023. Gross margin decreased to 24.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 25.0% for the same period in 2023. The changes in gross profit and gross margin were primarily due to the shift in the mix of transactions processed.

Salaries and benefits

Salaries and benefits expenses were $24.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $2.7 million or 13% compared to the same period in 2023. The fluctuations in salaries and benefits were driven by an increase in headcount to support the growth of the business and salary increases due to inflationary pressures. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses increased to 9.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 9.0% for the same period in 2023. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in the countries in which we employ our workforce increased salaries by approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.8 million or 9% compared to the same period in 2023. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses were 3.7% for both the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.1 million or 6% compared to the same period in 2023. Depreciation and amortization expense primarily represents depreciation of POS terminals we install in retail stores and amortization of acquired intangible assets. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses were 0.7% for both the three months ended March 31, 2024, and for the same period in 2023.

Operating income

epay Segment operating income was $26.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $0.9 million or 3% compared to the same period in 2023. Operating margin decreased to 10.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 11.6% for the same period in 2023. Operating income per transaction was $0.03 for both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the same period in 2023. Changes in operating income and operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 were primarily due to the shift in the mix of transactions processed and a decline in the promotional campaign activity this quarter compared to the same period last year.

MONEY TRANSFER SEGMENT

The following table presents the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 for the Money Transfer Segment:

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Year-over-Year Change

Revenues

Money Transfer Segment total revenues were $384.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $25.2 million or 7% compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase in international-originated money transfers, U.S. outbound transactions, and direct-to-consumer digital transactions, partially offset by a decrease in U.S. domestic transactions. Revenues per transaction decreased to $9.47 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $9.57 for the same period in 2023 due to a shift in the mix of transactions processed.

Direct operating costs

Money Transfer Segment direct operating costs were $209.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of 13.1 million or 7% compared to the same period in 2023. Direct operating costs primarily consist of commissions paid to agents who originate money transfers on our behalf and correspondent agents who disburse funds to the customers’ destination beneficiaries, together with less significant costs, such as bank depository fees. The increase in direct operating costs was primarily due to the increase in the number of international-originated and U.S. outbound money transfer transactions.

Gross profit

Gross profit was $175.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $12.1 million or 7% compared to $163.1 million for the same period in 2023. Gross margin increased to 45.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 45.4% for the same period in 2023. The increase in gross profit and gross margin was primarily due to increases in international-originated money transfers, U.S. outbound transactions and direct-to-consumer digital transactions.

Salaries and benefits

Salaries and benefits expenses were $80.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $6.4 million or 9% compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily driven by an increase in headcount to support the growth of the business and salary increases due to inflationary pressures. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses increased to 21.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 20.7%, for the same period in 2023. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in the countries in which we employ our workforce increased salaries by approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $50.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $2.3 million or 5% compared to the same period in 2023. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased to 13.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 13.3% for the same period in 2023.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.2 million or 14% compared to the same period in 2023. Depreciation and amortization expense primarily represents amortization of acquired intangible assets and depreciation of money transfer terminals, computers and software, leasehold improvements and office equipment. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased to 1.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 2.4% for the same period in 2023.

Operating income

Money Transfer Segment operating income was $37.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $4.6 million or 14% compared to the same period in 2023. Operating margin increased to 9.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 9.1% for the same period in 2023. Operating income per transaction increased to $0.92, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $0.87 for the same period in 2023. We improved our operating income and operating margin due to effective cost management.

CORPORATE SERVICES

The following table presents the operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 for Corporate Services:

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Year-over-Year Change

OTHER EXPENSE, NET

	Three Months Ended March 31,						Year-over-Year Change
(dollar amounts in millions)	2024			2023			Increase (Decrease) Amount			Increase (Decrease) Percent
Interest income	$	5.7		$	2.6		$	3.1		119	%

Other expense, net	$	(21.8	)	$	(8.6	)	$	(13.2	)	153	%

Interest income

Interest income was $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $3.1 million or 119% compared to the same period in 2023. This increase was driven by an increase in interest rates on our interest bearing bank accounts.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $4.8 million or 48% compared to the same period in 2023. This increase was driven by an increase in interest rates on our Credit Facility and uncommitted credit facility.

Foreign currency exchange loss, net

Foreign currency exchange activity includes gains and losses on certain foreign currency exchange derivative contracts and the impact of remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the local currency of each of our subsidiaries give rise to foreign currency exchange gains and losses. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses that result from remeasurement of these assets and liabilities are recorded in net income.

We recorded net foreign currency exchange losses of $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net foreign currency exchange losses of $1.1 million for the same period in 2023. These realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange losses reflect the fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar against the currencies of the countries in which we operated during the respective period.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

The Company's effective income tax rate was 37.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 46.5% for the same period ended March 31, 2023. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was higher than the applicable statutory income tax rate of 21% as a result of certain foreign earnings being subject to higher local statutory tax rates and the Company’s U.S. deferred tax activity.

NET INCOME (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Noncontrolling interests represent the elimination of net income or loss attributable to the minority shareholders’ portion of the following consolidated subsidiaries that are not wholly owned:

Subsidiary	Percent Owned	Segment - Country
Movilcarga	95%	epay - Spain
Euronet China	85%	EFT - China
Euronet Pakistan	70%	EFT - Pakistan
Euronet Infinitium Solutions	65%	EFT - India

NET INCOME (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO EURONET

Net income attributable to Euronet was $26.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $6.1 million or 30% compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the $69.8 million increase in revenues, largely driven by successful business operations. The increased revenues led to a $27.7 million increase in gross profit. The increase in gross profit was partially offset by a $12.8 million increase in salaries and benefits expense and increase in foreign exchange currency loss of $11.4.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital

As of March 31, 2024, we had working capital of $970.7 million, which is calculated as the difference between total current assets and total current liabilities, compared to working capital of $1,462.1 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the net effect of the classification of the convertible debt to current liabilities, positive operational results, the Infinitium acquisition completed during the quarter and working capital changes. Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.33 and 1.54 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

We require substantial working capital to finance operations. The Money Transfer Segment funds the payout of the majority of our consumer-to-consumer money transfer services before receiving the benefit of amounts collected from customers by agents. Working capital needs increase in order to cover weekends and banking holidays. As a result, we may report more or less working capital for the Money Transfer Segment based solely upon the day on which the reporting period ends. The epay Segment produces positive working capital, some of which is restricted in connection with the administration of its customer collection and vendor remittance activities. In our EFT Processing Segment, we obtain a significant portion of the cash required to operate our ATMs through various cash supply arrangements, the amount of which is not recorded on Euronet's Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, in certain countries, we fund the cash required to operate our ATM network from borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, uncommitted credit agreements and cash flows from operations. As of March 31, 2024, we had $599.7 million of our own cash in use or designated for use in our ATM network, which is recorded in ATM cash on Euronet's Consolidated Balance Sheet. ATM cash increased $74.5 million from $525.2 million as of December 31, 2023 to $599.7 million as of March 31, 2024 as a result of the increase in number of active ATMs as of March 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023. The Company has $1,236.2 million of unrestricted cash as of March 31, 2024 compared to $1,254.2 million as of December 31, 2023. Including the $599.7 million of cash in ATMs at March 31, 2024, we have access to $2,214.3 million in available cash, and $579.0 million available under the Credit Facility with no significant long-term debt principal payments until March 2025.

The following table identifies cash and cash equivalents provided by/(used in) our operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
Liquidity	2024			2023
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	30.0		$	3.3
Investing activities	(96.8		)	(18.1		)
Financing activities	81.3			(4.4		)
Effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	(47.2		)	(33.9		)
Decrease in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(32.7	)	$	(53.1	)

Operating activity cash flow

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $30.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $3.3 million for the same period in 2023. The net increase in operating cash flows was primarily due to an increase in net income, the effect of exchange rates on balance sheet positions in foreign currencies and other working capital fluctuations.

Investing activity cash flow

Cash flows used in investing activities were $96.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $18.1 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to the $70.0 million of cash paid for the acquisition of Infinitium. Additionally, we used $23.8 million for purchases of property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $18.6 million for the same period in 2023.

Financing activity cash flow

Cash flows used by financing activities were $81.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to cash flows provided by financing activities of $4.4 million for the same period in 2023. Our borrowing activities on the Credit Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted of net borrowings of $82.6 million compared to net borrowings of $24.3 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in net borrowings on the Credit Facility, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, is primarily the result of cash placed in ATMs reactivated in anticipation of the travel season and cash used to complete the acquisition of Infinitium. We received proceeds of $1.4 million and $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for the issuance of stock in connection with our Stock Incentive Plan.

Effect of exchange rates on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 had a negative impact of $47.2 million and $33.9 million, respectively, on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. The negative impact on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was due primarily to the negative impact in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the euro.

Other sources of capital

Credit Facility - On October 24, 2022, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) to increase the facility from $1.03 billion to $1.25 billion and to extend the expiration to October 24, 2027. The revolving credit facility contains a sublimit of up to $250 million, with $150 million committed, for the issuance of letters of credit, a $75 million sublimit both for U.S. dollar swingline loans and for swingline loans in euros or British pounds sterling. The Credit Facility allows for borrowings in British pounds sterling, euro and U.S. dollars. Subject to certain conditions, the Company has the option to increase the Credit Facility by up to an additional $500 million by requesting additional commitments from existing or new lenders. Fees and interest on borrowings vary based upon the Company's corporate credit rating and will be based, in the case of letter of credit fees, on a margin, and in the case of interest, on a margin over a secured overnight financing rate, as defined in the agreement, with a margin, including the facility fee, ranging from 1.00% to 1.625% or the base rate, as selected by the Company. The applicable margin for borrowings under the credit facility, based on the Company's current credit rating is 1.25% including the facility fee.

As of March 31, 2024, we had $619.5 million of borrowings and $51.5 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. The remaining $579.0 million under the Credit Facility was available for borrowing.

Convertible debt - On March 18, 2019, we completed the sale of $525.0 million in principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2049 (“Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 18, 2019 (the “Indenture”), by and between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Convertible Notes have an interest rate of 0.75% per annum payable semi-annually in March and September and are convertible into shares of Euronet common stock at a conversion price of approximately $188.73 per share if certain conditions are met (relating to the closing prices of Euronet common stock exceeding certain thresholds for specified periods). Holders of the Convertible Notes have the option to require us to repurchase for cash all or part of their Convertible Notes on each of March 15, 2025, 2029, 2034, 2039 and 2044 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant repurchase date. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, we recorded $12.8 million in debt issuance costs, which are being amortized through March 1, 2025.

Senior Notes - On May 22, 2019, we completed the sale of €600 million ($669.9 million) aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes that expire on May 2026 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 1.375% per year, payable annually in arrears on May 22 of each year, until maturity or earlier redemption. As of March 31, 2024, we have outstanding €600.0 million ($646.9 million) principal amount of the Senior Notes. In addition, we may redeem some or all of these notes on or after February 22, 2026 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

Uncommitted Credit Agreements - On June 26, 2023, the Company entered into an Uncommitted Loan Agreement for $150 million, fully drawn and outstanding at March 31, 2024, for the sole purpose of providing vault cash for ATMs, that expires no later than June 21, 2024. The loan is a Prime rate loan, Bloomberg Short-term Bank Yield ("BSBY") rate loan plus 0.95% or bears interest at the rate agreed to by the Bank and the Company at the time such loan is made. The weighted-average interest rate from the loan inception date to March 31, 2024 was 6.31%.

Other debt obligations — Certain of our subsidiaries have available credit lines and overdraft facilities to generally supplement short-term working capital requirements, when necessary. There was $0.2 million outstanding under these other obligation arrangements as of March 31, 2024.

Other uses of capital

Capital expenditures and needs - Total capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $23.8 million. These capital expenditures were primarily for the purchase and installation of ATMs in key under-penetrated markets, the purchase of POS terminals for the epay and Money Transfer Segments, and office, data center and company store computer equipment and software. Total capital expenditures for 2024 are currently estimated to range from approximately 90 million to $100 million. At current and projected cash flow levels, we anticipate that cash generated from operations, together with cash on hand and amounts available under our Credit Facility and other existing and potential future financing will be sufficient to meet our debt (including our uncommitted credit facilities), leasing, and capital expenditure obligations. If our capital resources are not sufficient to meet these obligations, we will seek to refinance our debt and/or issue additional equity under terms acceptable to us. However, we can offer no assurances that we will be able to obtain favorable terms for the refinancing of any of our debt or other obligations or for the issuance of additional equity.

Inflation and functional currencies

Historically, the countries in which we operate have experienced low and stable inflation. Therefore, the local currency in each of these markets is the functional currency. We have seen indications that the current inflationary period will put pressure on our results of operations and our financial position. We have seen some signs of inflation impacting discretionary spend items, such as gaming products, in our epay business, discretionary travel expenditures in EFT, as well as some pressure on send amounts in money transfer. As a consequence of this inflationary period, we expect to see increasing expenses forthcoming. We continually review inflation and the functional currency in each of the countries where we operate.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS.

On occasion, we grant guarantees of the obligations of our subsidiaries, and we sometimes enter into agreements with unaffiliated third parties that contain indemnification provisions, the terms of which may vary depending on the negotiated terms of each respective agreement. Our liability under such indemnification provisions may be subject to time and materiality limitations, monetary caps and other conditions and defenses. As of March 31, 2024, there were no material changes from the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. To date, we are not aware of any significant claims made by the indemnified parties or parties to whom we have provided guarantees on behalf of our subsidiaries and, accordingly, no liabilities have been recorded as of March 31, 2024. See also Note 15, Commitments, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

As of March 31, 2024, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in our future contractual obligations from the amounts reported within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate risk

As of March 31, 2024, our total debt outstanding, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was $1,941.6 million. Of this amount, $525.0 million, net of debt discounts, or 27% of our total debt obligations, relates to our contingent Convertible Notes that have a fixed coupon rate. Our $525.0 million outstanding principal amount of Convertible Notes accrue cash interest at a rate of 0.75% of the principal amount per annum. Based on quoted market prices, as of March 31, 2024, the fair value of our fixed rate Convertible Notes was $538.0 million, compared to a carrying value of $525.0 million. Further, as of March 31, 2024 we had $619.5 million of borrowings under our Credit Facility, or 32% of our total debt obligations. If we were to maintain these borrowings for one year and maximize the potential borrowings available under the revolving credit facility for one year, a 1% (100 basis points) increase in the applicable interest rate would result in additional interest expense to the Company of approximately $12.5 million. The carrying values of the Credit Facility approximates fair value because interest as of March 31, 2024, was based on SOFR that resets at various intervals of less than one year. Additionally, $646.9 million, or 33%of our total debt obligations, relates to Senior Notes having a fixed coupon rate. Our $646.9 million outstanding principal amount of Senior Notes accrue cash interest at a rate of 1.375% of the principal amount per annum. Based on quoted market prices, as of March 31, 2024, the fair value of our fixed rate Senior Notes was $609.0 million, compared to a carrying value of $646.9 million. An additional $150.0 million, or 8% of our total debt, is related to a short-term uncommitted credit agreement. The credit agreement is due within one year and accrues interest at variable rates. The remaining $0.2 million is related to borrowings by certain subsidiaries to fund, from time to time, working capital requirements. These arrangements generally are due within one year and accrue interest at variable rates.

Additionally, as of March 31, 2024, we had approximately $4.1 million of finance leases with fixed payment and interest terms that expire between the years of 2024 and 2028.

Our excess cash is invested in instruments with original maturities of three months or less or in certificates of deposit that may be withdrawn at any time without penalty; therefore, as investments mature and are reinvested, the amount we earn will increase or decrease with changes in the underlying short-term interest rates.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, approximately 74% of our revenues were generated in non-U.S. dollar countries and we expect to continue generating a significant portion of our revenues in countries with currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

We are particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in exchange rates of the U.S. dollar to the currencies of countries in which we have significant operations, primarily the euro, British pound, Australian dollar, Polish zloty, Indian rupee, New Zealand dollar, Malaysian ringgit and Hungarian forint. As of March 31, 2024, we estimate that a 10% fluctuation in these foreign currency exchange rates would have the combined annualized effect on reported net income and working capital of approximately $120 million to $130 million. This effect is estimated by applying a 10% adjustment factor to our non-U.S. dollar results from operations, intercompany loans that generate foreign currency gains or losses and working capital balances that require translation from the respective functional currency to the U.S. dollar reporting currency.

Additionally, we have other non-current, non-U.S. dollar assets and liabilities on our balance sheet that are translated to the U.S. dollar during consolidation. These items primarily represent goodwill and intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions in countries other than the U.S. and our Senior Notes. We estimate that a 10% fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates would have a non-cash impact on total comprehensive income of approximately $90 million to $100 million as a result of the change in value of these items during translation to the U.S. dollar. For the fluctuations described above, a strengthening U.S. dollar produces a financial loss, while a weakening U.S. dollar produces a financial gain.

We believe this quantitative measure has inherent limitations and does not take into account any governmental actions or changes in either customer purchasing patterns or our financing or operating strategies. Because a majority of our revenues and expenses are incurred in the functional currencies of our international operating entities, the profits we earn in foreign currencies are positively impacted by a weakening of the U.S. dollar and negatively impacted by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Additionally, a significant portion of our debt obligations are in U.S. dollars; therefore, as foreign currency exchange rates fluctuate, the amount available for repayment of debt will also increase or decrease.

We use derivatives to minimize our exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and to facilitate foreign currency risk management services by writing derivatives to customers. Derivatives are used to manage the overall market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rates; however, we do not perform the extensive record-keeping required to account for the derivative transactions as hedges. Due to the relatively short duration of the derivative contracts, we use the derivatives primarily as economic hedges. Since we do not designate foreign currency derivatives as hedging instruments pursuant to the accounting standards, we record gains and losses on foreign exchange derivatives in earnings in the period of change.

A majority of our consumer-to-consumer money transfer operations involve receiving and disbursing different currencies, in which we earn a foreign currency spread based on the difference between buying currency at wholesale exchange rates and selling the currency to consumers at retail exchange rates. We enter into foreign currency forward and cross-currency swap contracts to minimize exposure related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The changes in fair value related to these contracts are recorded in Foreign currency exchange (loss) gain, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2024, we had foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding with a notional value of $400.8 million, primarily in Australian dollars, British pounds, Canadian dollars, euros and Mexican pesos, that were not designated as hedges and mature within a few days.

For derivative instruments our xe operations write to customers, we aggregate the foreign currency exposure arising from customer contracts, and hedge the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties as part of a broader foreign currency portfolio. The changes in fair value related to the total portfolio of positions are recorded in Revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2024, we held foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding with a notional value of $1.1 billion, primarily in U.S. dollars, euros, British pounds, Australian dollars and New Zealand dollars, that were not designated as hedges and for which the majority mature within the next twelve months.

We use longer-term foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates on certain foreign currency denominated other asset and liability positions. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional value of $563.1 million, primarily in euros.

See Note 11, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our executive management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2024. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Change in Internal Controls

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months period ended March 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is, from time to time, a party to legal or regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business.

The discussion regarding contingencies in Part I, Item 1 — Financial Statements (unaudited), Note 16, Litigation and Contingencies, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report is incorporated herein by reference.

Currently, there are no legal or regulatory proceedings that management believes, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we record a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These liabilities are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case or proceeding.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except as otherwise described herein, there were no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2023, as filed with the SEC.
