Euronet Worldwide Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

LEAWOOD, KANSAS, USA - July 18, 2024 - Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (“Euronet” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: EEFT), a leading global financial technology solutions and payments provider, reports second quarter 2024 financial results.

Euronet reports the following consolidated results for the second quarter 2024 compared with the same period of 2023:

Revenues of $986.2 million, a 5% increase from $939.1 million (6% increase on a constant currency1 basis).
Operating income of $134.3 million, a 10% increase from $122.6 million (12% increase on a constant currency basis).

Adjusted operating income2 of $134.3 million, a 12% increase from $119.6 million (15% increase on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA3 of $178.2 million, a 7% increase from $165.8 million (10% increase on a constant currency basis).
Net income attributable to Euronet of $83.1 million, or $1.73 diluted earnings per share, compared with $86.1 million, or $1.65 diluted earnings per share.
Adjusted earnings per share4 of $2.25, an 11% increase from $2.03.
Euronet's cash and cash equivalents were $1,271.8 million and ATM cash was $795.6 million, totaling $2,067.4 million as of June 30, 2024, and availability under its revolving credit facilities was approximately $802.0 million.

See the reconciliation of non-GAAP items in the attached financial schedules.  

“I am pleased that we achieved a second quarter adjusted EPS of $2.25, an 11% increase over the prior year's $2.03,” stated Michael J. Brown, Euronet’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We were able to deliver this growth due to our continued focus on expanding our business in new and existing markets, adding more products to our portfolio and continued investment in our industry-leading technology in all three segments. Complementing the 15% constant currency adjusted operating income growth, operating margins expanded by more than 90 basis points. Producing double-digit adjusted EPS growth in the first two quarters of 2024 reinforces our confidence in delivering full year adjusted EPS growth within our expected 10-15% range and increases our determination to deliver results beyond the range.”  



 

Taking into consideration recent trends in the business and the global economy, continued double digit quarterly earnings growth, and historical seasonal patterns, the Company remains confident in its previously announced expectations that its 2024 adjusted EPS will grow 10-15% year-over-year, consistent with its 10 and 20 year compounded annualized growth rates. This outlook does not include any changes that may develop in foreign exchange rates, interest rates or other unforeseen factors.


Segment and Other Results

 

The EFT Processing Segment reports the following results for the second quarter 2024 compared with the same period or date in 2023:



Revenues of $305.4 million, an 8% increase from $282.4 million (10% increase on a constant currency basis).
Operating income of $79.9 million, a 16% increase from $69.1 million (19% increase on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted operating income of $79.9 million, a 21% increase from $66.1 million (24% increase on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA of $105.0 million, a 17% increase from $89.9 million (20% increase on a constant currency basis).
Transactions of 2,737 million,34% increase from 2,035 million.
Total of 54,736 installed ATMs as of June 30, 2024, a 5% increase from 52,327. We operated 54,005 active ATMs as of June 30, 2024, a 5% increase from 51,402 as of June 30, 2023.
 

Constant currency revenue, adjusted operating income, and adjusted EBITDA growth in the second quarter 2024 was driven by increased travel, growth in the merchant services business and growth from new market expansion. Operating margins benefited from transactions driven by continued travel recovery, actions taken by management to remove loss making ATMs in last year's fourth quarter and the first half of this year, together with effective expense management.

 

The increase in active ATMs includes the acquisition of 800 ATMs in Malaysia together with the addition of approximately 1,400 outsourcing ATMs.


Transaction growth outpaced revenue growth due to continued growth in high-volume low-value transactions in India. 


 

The epay Segment reports the following results for the second quarter 2024 compared with the same period or date in 2023:


Revenues of $260.9 million, a 1% decrease from $263.8 million (no change on a constant currency basis).
Operating income of $26.2 million, a 2% decrease from $26.8 million (no change on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA of $28.0 million, a 2% decrease from $28.5 million (no change on a constant currency basis).
Transactions of 1,110 million, a 13% increase from 984 million.
POS terminals of approximately 794,000 as of June 30, 2024, a 2% decrease from approximately 810,000.
Retailer locations of approximately 352,000 as of June 30, 2024, a 1% increase from approximately 349,000.

epay’s results were similar to the prior year across all metrics. The prior year 2023 second quarter results included a strong benefit from promotional campaigns run by epay on behalf of retail partners, which did not recur in the second quarter 2024, but are expected to be delivered in the third and more so the fourth quarters. Excluding the promotional campaigns, the core epay business grew revenue, operating income and adjusted EBITDA by 10%. Transaction growth outpaced revenue growth due to continued growth in high-volume low-value transactions in India. 


The Money Transfer Segment reports the following results for the second quarter 2024 compared with the same period or date in 2023:


Revenues of $421.8 million, a 7% increase from $394.8 million (8% increase on a constant currency basis).
Operating income of $47.3 million, essentially flat compared to $47.2 million (2% increase on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA of $54.0 million, a 2% decrease from $55.3 million (1% decrease on a constant currency basis).
Total transactions of 44.3 million, an 8% increase from 41.1 million.
Network locations of approximately 586,000 as of June 30, 2024, a 10% increase from approximately 533,000.

 

Constant currency growth revenue was primarily driven by near double-digit growth in cross-border transactions, offset by a decrease in intra-US transactions. Direct-to-consumer digital transactions increased by 24%, reflecting strong consumer demand for digital product, which represents 12% of total transactions. The constant currency Operating Income increase of 2% was influenced by an additional $3.9 million year-over-year digital customer marketing spend during the quarter versus last year. Excluding the incremental digital customer marketing spend, constant currency Operating Income growth would have exceeded 10% producing operating margins consistent with prior year. Money Transfer’s revenue and gross profit per transaction were consistent with the prior year and Money Transfer volumes sent increased 9%.


Corporate and Other reports $19.1 million of expense for the second quarter 2024 compared with $20.5 million for the second quarter 2023



Balance Sheet and Financial Position
Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand was $1,271.8 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to $1,236.2 million as of March 31, 2024.  The net increase in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents is the net result of the generation of cash from operations and an increase in short term borrowings, partially offset by share repurchases, the use of cash for the acquisition of 800 ATMs in Malaysia, cash placed in ATMs reactivated in anticipation of the travel season and working capital fluctuations.

Total indebtedness was $2,270.2 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to $1,938.1 million as of March 31, 2024. Availability under the Company's revolving credit facilities was approximately $802.0 million as of June 30, 2024.

The Company repurchased one million shares for $114 million during the second quarter, which will improve earnings per share by 2% for future periods.

Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company presents non-GAAP financial measures, such as constant currency financial measures, adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share. These measures should be used in addition to, and not a substitute for, revenues, operating income, net income and earnings per share computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's performance and overall results of operations. These non-GAAP measures are also an integral part of the Company's internal reporting and performance assessment for executives and senior management. The non-GAAP measures used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The attached schedules provide a full reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of its forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for GAAP and the related GAAP and non-GAAP reconciliation, including adjustments that would be necessary for foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and other charges reflected in the Company's reconciliation of historic numbers, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant.  

 

(1) Constant currency financial measures are computed as if foreign currency exchange rates did not change from the prior period. This information is provided to illustrate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company's results when compared to the prior period.

(2) Adjusted operating income is defined as operating income excluding non-cash gain.  Adjusted operating income represents a performance measure and is not intended to represent a liquidity measure. 
 

(3) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding, to the extent incurred in the period, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, a non-cash gain and other non-operating or non-recurring items that are considered expenses or income under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA represents a performance measure and is not intended to represent a liquidity measure.



(4) Adjusted earnings per share is defined as diluted U.S. GAAP earnings per share excluding, to the extent incurred in the period, the tax-effected impacts of: a) foreign currency exchange gains or losses, b) share-based compensation, c) acquired intangible asset amortization, d) non-cash income tax expense, e) non-cash gain f) other non-operating or non-recurring items and g) dilutive shares relate to the Company's convertible bonds. Adjusted earnings per share represents a performance measure and is not intended to represent a liquidity measure.
