EURONET WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) GENERAL
Organization
Euronet Worldwide, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company or Euronet) is an industry leader in
processing secure electronic financial transactions. Euronets Prepaid Processing Segment is one of
the worlds largest providers of top-up services for prepaid products, primarily prepaid mobile
airtime. The EFT Processing Segment provides end to end solutions relating to operations of
automated teller machine (ATM) and Point of Sale (POS) networks, and debit and credit card
processing in Europe, the Middle East, India and China. The Money Transfer Segment, comprised
primarily of the Companys RIA Envia, Inc. (RIA) subsidiary and its operating subsidiaries, is
the third-largest global money transfer company and provides services through a sending network of
agents and Company-owned stores in the U.S., the Caribbean, Europe and Asia, disbursing money
transfers through a worldwide payer network.
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 of normal interim closing procedures) necessary to present fairly the financial
position of the Company as of June 30, 2007, the results of its operations for the three- and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007
and 2006.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements of Euronet for the year ended December 31, 2006, including the
notes thereto, set forth in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations
for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2007. Certain amounts in prior years
have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES
Money transfer settlement obligations
Money transfer settlement obligations are recorded in accrued expenses and other current
liabilities on the Companys unaudited consolidated balance sheet and consist of amounts owed by
Euronet to money transfer recipients. As of June 30, 2007, the Companys money transfer settlement
obligations were $24.4 million.
Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities
The Company accounts for derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (SFAS No. 133), which
requires that all derivative instruments be recognized as either assets or liabilities on the
balance sheet at fair value. During the second quarter 2007, the Company entered into derivative
instruments to manage exposure to interest rate risk that are considered cash flow hedges under the
provisions of SFAS No. 133. To qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, the details for the
hedging relationship must be formally documented at the inception of the arrangement, including the
Companys hedging strategy, risk management objective, the specific risk being hedged, the
derivative instrument being used, the item being hedged, an assessment of hedge effectiveness and
how effectiveness will continue to be assessed and measured. For the effective portion of a cash
flow hedge, changes in the value of the hedge instrument are recorded temporarily in stockholders
equity as a component of other comprehensive income and then recognized as an adjustment to
interest expense over the term of the hedging instrument.
In the Money Transfer Segment, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to offset
foreign currency exposure related to the notional value of money transfer transactions collected in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These forward contracts are considered derivative
instruments under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, however, the Company does not designate such
instruments as hedges. Accordingly, changes in the value of these contracts are recognized
immediately as a component of foreign currency exchange gain, net in the Unaudited Consolidated
Statement of Income. The impact of changes in value of these forward contracts, together with the
6
impact of the change in value of the related foreign currency denominated receivable, on the
Companys Unaudited Consolidated Income Statement is not significant.
Cash flows resulting from derivative instruments are classified as cash flows from operating
activities in the Companys Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company enters
into derivative instruments with highly credit-worthy financial institutions and does not use
derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. See Note 8, Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, for further discussion of derivative instruments.
Presentation of taxes collected and remitted to governmental authorities
During 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF 06-3, How Taxes Collected and
Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross
versus Net Presentation). The Company presents taxes collected and remitted to governmental
authorities on a net basis in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), an interpretation of SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with
certain aspects of the measurement and recognition related to accounting for income taxes. This
interpretation also requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.
The Companys policy is to record estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of
income taxes as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. See Note 13, Income
Taxes, for further discussion regarding the adoption of FIN 48.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No.
159 expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require
assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under SFAS No. 159, a company may elect to use
fair value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity
securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees and issued debt. Other eligible
items include firm commitments for financial instruments that otherwise would not be recognized at
inception and non-cash warranty obligations where a warrantor is permitted to pay a third party to
provide the warranty goods or services. If the use of fair value is elected, any upfront costs and
fees related to the item must be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred, such as deferred
financing costs. The fair value election is irrevocable and generally made on an
instrument-by-instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to
measure based on fair value. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on existing items
for which fair value has been elected are reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained
earnings. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 159, changes in fair value are recognized in
earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for Euronet beginning in the first quarter 2008. Euronet is
currently determining whether fair value accounting is appropriate for any of its eligible items
and cannot estimate the impact, if any, which SFAS No. 159 will have on its consolidated results of
operations and financial condition.
(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period. Diluted
earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the
weighted-average shares outstanding during the respective period, after adjusting for the potential
dilution of the assumed conversion of the Companys convertible debentures, shares issuable in
connection with acquisition obligations, options to purchase the Companys common stock and
restricted stock. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to earnings available
to common stockholders and the computation of diluted weighted average number of common shares
outstanding:

The table includes all stock options and restricted stock that are dilutive to Euronets
weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. For both the three- and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2007, the table does not include 532,985 stock options or shares of
restricted stock that are anti-dilutive to the Companys weighted average common shares
outstanding. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, the table does not include 22,500 stock
options or shares of restricted stock that are anti-dilutive to the Companys weighted average
common shares outstanding. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, the assumed conversion
of all stock options and restricted stock outstanding was dilutive to the Companys diluted
earnings per share.
The Company has $140 million of 1.625% convertible debentures due 2024 and $175 million of 3.50%
convertible debentures due 2025 outstanding that, if converted, would have a potentially dilutive
effect on the Companys stock. These debentures are convertible into 4.2 million shares of Common
Stock for the $140 million 1.625% issue, and 4.3 million shares of Common Stock for the $175
million 3.50% issue only upon the occurrence of certain conditions. As required by EITF Issue No.
04-8, The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share, if dilutive, the
impact of the contingently issuable shares must be included in the calculation of diluted earnings
per share under the if-converted method, regardless of whether the conditions upon which the
debentures would be convertible into shares of the Companys Common Stock have been met. Under the
if-converted method, the assumed conversion of the 1.625% convertible debentures was anti-dilutive
for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 and dilutive for the three-month period ended June
30, 2006 and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Under the if-converted method, the
assumed conversion of the 3.50% convertible debentures was anti-dilutive for the three- and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
(4) ACQUISITIONS
In accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, the Company allocates the purchase price
of its acquisitions to the tangible assets, liabilities and intangible assets acquired based on
estimated fair values. Any excess purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill.
The fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired is supported by valuations using estimates
and assumptions provided by management. For certain acquisitions, management engages an appraiser
to assist in the valuation process.
2007 Acquisitions:
Acquisition of RIA
In April 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of the common stock of RIA, which expanded the
Companys money transfer operations in the U.S. and internationally. The purchase price of $503.9
million was comprised of $358.3 million in cash, 4,053,606 shares of Euronet Common Stock valued at
$108.9 million, 3,685,098 contingent value rights (CVRs) and stock appreciation rights (SARs)
valued at a total of $32.1 million and transaction costs of approximately $4.6 million. The Company
financed the cash portion of the purchase price through a combination of cash on hand and $190
million in additional debt obligations. The following table summarizes the allocation of the
purchase price to the fair values of the acquired tangible and intangible assets at the acquisition
date, which remains preliminary while management completes its valuation of the fair value of the
net assets acquired.

Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, $35.0 million in cash and
276,382 shares of Euronet Common Stock valued at $7.4 million are being held in escrow to secure
certain obligations of the sellers under the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended. These amounts
have been reflected in the purchase price because the Company has determined beyond a reasonable
doubt that the obligations will be met. The 3,685,098 CVRs mature on October 1, 2008 and will
result in the issuance of up to $20 million of additional shares of Euronet Common Stock or payment
of additional cash, at the Companys option, if the price of Euronet Common Stock is less than
$32.56 on the maturity date. The 3,685,098 SARs entitle the sellers to acquire additional shares of
Euronet Common Stock at an exercise price of $27.14 at any time through October 1, 2008. Between
the CVRs and SARs, the sellers are entitled to additional consideration of at least $20 million in
Euronet Common Stock or cash. Management has initially estimated the total fair value of the CVRs
and SARs at approximately $32.1 million using a Black Scholes pricing model. These and other terms
and conditions applicable to the CVRs and SARs are set forth in the agreements governing these
instruments.
Additionally, in April 2007, the Company combined its previous money transfer business with RIA and
incurred total exit costs of approximately $0.9 million during the second quarter 2007. These costs
were recorded as operating expenses and represent the accelerated depreciation and amortization of
property and equipment, software and leasehold improvements that were disposed of during the second
quarter 2007; the write off of marketing materials and trademarks that have been discontinued; the
write off of accounts receivable from agents that did not meet RIAs credit requirements; and
severance and retention payments made to certain employees. Additional costs incurred in
association with exiting the Companys previous money transfer business, if any, are not expected
to be significant.
Other acquisitions:
During the six-months ended June 30, 2007, the Company completed three other acquisitions described
below for an aggregate purchase price of $26.5 million, comprised of $18.1 million in cash, 275,429
shares of Euronet Common Stock valued at $7.6 million and notes payable of $0.8 million. In
connection with one of these acquisitions, the Company agreed to certain contingent consideration
arrangements based on the value of Euronet Common Stock and the achievement of certain performance
criteria. Upon the achievement of certain performance criteria, during 2009 and 2010, the Company
may have to pay a total of $2.5 million in cash or 75,489 shares of Euronet Common Stock, at the
option of the seller.
|
|
|
During January 2007, EFT Services Holding BV and Euronet Adminisztracios Kft,
both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Euronet, completed the acquisition of a total of 100% of
the share capital of Brodos SRL in Romania (Brodos Romania). Brodos Romania is a leading
electronic prepaid mobile airtime processor that expanded the Companys Prepaid Processing
Segment business to Romania. |
|
|
|
|
During February 2007, e-pay Holdings Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Euronet, completed the acquisition of all of the share capital of Omega Logic, Ltd. (Omega
Logic). Omega Logic is a prepaid top-up company based, and primarily operating, in the U.K.
This acquisition enhanced our Prepaid Processing Segment business in the U.K. |
|
|
|
|
During April 2007, PaySpot, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Euronet) acquired
customer relationships from Synergy Telecom, Inc. (Synergy) and Synergy agreed not to
compete with PaySpot in the prepaid mobile phone top-up business in the U.S. for a period of
five years. This acquisition enhances the Companys Prepaid Processing Segment business in
the U.S. |
9
As of June 30, 2007, 75,743 shares of Euronet Common Stock issued in connection with these
acquisitions remains in escrow subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria. These
shares have been reflected in the purchase price because the Company has determined beyond a
reasonable doubt that the performance criteria will be met.
Agreement to acquire La Nacional
During January 2007, the Company signed a stock purchase agreement to acquire Envios de Valores La
Nacional Corp. and its U.S. based affiliates (La Nacional), a money transfer company originating
transactions through a network of sending agents and company-owned stores. See Note 11,
Commitments, Litigation and Contingencies, for further disclosure regarding the agreement to
acquire La Nacional.
2006 Acquisition:
In January 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of Essentis, Limited
(Essentis) for approximately $2.9 million, which was comprised of $0.9 million in cash and
approximately $2.0 million in assumed liabilities. Essentis is a U.K. company that owns and
develops software packages that enhance Euronets outsourcing and software offerings to banks.
Essentis is reported in the Companys EFT Processing Segment. There are no potential additional
purchase price or escrow arrangements associated with the acquisition of Essentis.
Pro Forma and Condensed Statements of Net Income:
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the condensed combined results of
operations of Euronet for the three- and six- months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, as if the
acquisition of RIA described above had occurred January 1, 2006. Adjustments were made to reflect
the impact of events that are a direct result of the acquisition and are expected to have a
continuing impact on the Companys combined results of operations, including amortization of
purchased intangible assets that would have been recorded if the acquisition had occurred at the
beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma financial information is not intended to
represent, or be indicative of, the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of
Euronet that would have been reported had the acquisitions been completed as of the beginning of
the periods presented. Moreover, the pro forma financial information should not be considered as
representative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial condition of Euronet.

Estimated annual amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives, before income
taxes, as of June 30, 2007, is expected to total $20.1 million for 2007, $23.3 million for 2008,
$23.3 million for 2009, $23.0 million for 2010, $19.3 million for 2011 and $16.1 million for 2012.
The Companys annual goodwill impairment test for the year ended December 31, 2006 indicated that
there were no impairments. Determining the fair value of reporting units for the purpose of the
goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment in estimating future cash flows
and assessing potential market and economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that the
Companys operations will not perform as expected, or that estimates or assumptions could change,
which may result in the Company recording material non-cash impairment charges during the year in
which these changes take place.

In connection with the completion of the acquisition of RIA during April 2007, the Company
entered into a $290 million secured syndicated credit facility consisting of a $190 million
seven-year term loan, which was fully-drawn at closing, and a $100 million five-year revolving
credit facility (the Credit Facility) that replaced the previous $50 million revolving credit
facility. The $190 million seven-year term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis
points or prime plus 100 basis points and contains a 1% per annum principal amortization
requirement, payable quarterly, with the remaining balance outstanding due at the end of year
seven. The $100 million five-year revolving line of credit bears interest at LIBOR or prime plus a
margin that adjusts each quarter based upon the Companys consolidated total leverage ratio. The
weighted average interest rate of the Companys borrowings under the revolving credit facility was
8.2% as of June 30, 2007.
The term loan may be expanded by up to an additional $150 million and the revolving credit facility
may be expanded by up to an additional $25 million, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions
including pro-forma debt covenant compliance. The new agreements contain certain mandatory
prepayments, customary events of default and financial covenants, including leverage ratios. The
leverage ratios step down on various dates through September 2008. Financing costs of $4.3 million
have been deferred and are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans.

(8) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
During the second quarter 2007, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for a total
notional amount of $50 million to manage interest rate exposure related to a portion of the term
loan, which currently bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points. The interest rate swap
agreements are determined to be cash flow hedges and effectively convert $50 million of the term
loan to a fixed interest rate of 7.3% through the May 2009 maturity date of the swap agreements. As
of June 30, 2007, the Company has recorded a liability of less than $0.1 million in the other
long-term liabilities caption on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets to recognize the fair
value of the swap agreements. The offset is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The
fair value of swap agreements is based on market quotes received from the agreement counterparties
and represents the net amount the Company would have been required to pay to terminate the positions.
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional
value of $29.8 million, $3.0 million and $2.7 million in euros, British pounds and other
currencies, respectively, that were not designated as hedges and had in a weighted average maturity of 17
days.
(9) EQUITY PRIVATE PLACEMENT
During March 2007, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited
investors to issue and sell 6,374,528 shares of Common Stock in a private placement. The offering
price for the shares was $25.00 per share and the gross proceeds of the offering were approximately
$159.4 million. The net proceeds from the sale, after deducting commissions and estimated expenses,
were approximately $154.3 million.
(10) SEGMENT INFORMATION
Euronets reportable operating segments have been determined in accordance with SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Effective January 1, 2007,
the Company began reporting and managing the operations of the EFT Processing Segment and the
Software Solutions Segment on a combined basis. Additionally, as a result of the acquisition of RIA
in April 2007, the Company began reporting the Money Transfer Segment. The Companys former money
transfer business was previously reported within the Prepaid Processing Segment. Previously
reported amounts have been restated to reflect these changes, which did not impact the Companys
consolidated financial statements. As a result of these changes, the Company currently operates in
the following three reportable operating segments.
|
1) |
|
Through the EFT Processing Segment, the Company processes transactions for a network of
ATMs and POS terminals across Europe, Asia and Africa. The Company provides comprehensive
electronic payment solutions consisting of ATM network participation, outsourced ATM and POS
management solutions, credit and gift card outsourcing and electronic recharge services for
prepaid mobile airtime. Through this segment, the Company also offers a suite of integrated
electronic financial transaction (EFT) software solutions for electronic payment, merchant
acquiring, card issuing and transaction delivery systems. |
|
|
2) |
|
Through the Prepaid Processing Segment, the Company provides distribution of prepaid
mobile airtime and other prepaid products and collection services in the U.S., Europe,
Africa and Asia Pacific. |
|
|
3) |
|
Through the Money Transfer Segment, the Company provides global money transfer and bill
payment services through a sending network of agents and Company-owned stores primarily in
North America, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia Pacific, disbursing money transfers through a
worldwide payer network. |
In addition, in its administrative division, Corporate Services, Eliminations and Other, the
Company accounts for non-operating activity, certain intersegment eliminations and the costs of
providing corporate and other administrative services to the three segments. These services are not
directly identifiable with the Companys reportable operating segments.
The following tables present the segment results of the Companys operations for the three- and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:

Litigation
During 2005, a former cash supply contractor in Central Europe (the Contractor) claimed that the
Company owed it approximately $2.0 million for the provision of cash during the fourth quarter 1999
and first quarter 2000 that had not been returned. This claim was made after the Company terminated
its business with the Contractor and established a cash supply agreement with another supplier. In
the first quarter 2006, the Contractor initiated legal action in Budapest, Hungary regarding the
claim. In April 2007, an arbitration tribunal awarded the Contractor $1.0 million, plus $0.2
million in interest, under the claim, which was recorded as selling, general and administrative
expenses of the Companys EFT Processing Segment during the first quarter 2007 and paid in the
second quarter 2007.
Contingencies
In connection with the agreement to acquire La Nacional, in January 2007, the Company deposited $26
million in an escrow account created for the proposed acquisition, which can only be released by
mutual agreement of the Company and La Nacional or through legal remedies available under the
agreement. On February 6, 2007, two employees of La Nacional working in different La Nacional
stores were arrested
for allegedly violating federal money laundering laws and certain state statutes. On April 5, 2007,
the Company gave notice to the stockholder of La Nacional of the termination of the stock purchase
agreement and requested the release of the escrowed funds under the terms of the stock purchase
agreement. La Nacional is contesting the Companys request for release of the escrowed funds. While pursuing
all legal remedies available, the Company is also engaged in negotiations to determine whether the
dispute can be resolved through revised terms for the acquisition.
From time to time, the Company is a party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of its
business. Currently, there are no legal proceedings that management believes, either individually
or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated
14
results of
operations or financial condition of the Company. The Company expenses legal costs in connection
with loss contingencies when incurred.
During 2006, the Internal Revenue Service announced that Internal Revenue Code Section 4251
(relating to communications excise tax) will no longer apply to, among other services, prepaid
mobile airtime services such as those offered by the Companys Prepaid Processing Segments U.S.
operations. Additionally, companies that paid this excise tax during the period beginning on March
1, 2003 and ending on July 31, 2006, are entitled to a credit or refund of amounts paid in
conjunction with the filing of 2006 federal income tax returns. The Company plans to claim refunds
for amounts paid during this period. As of June 30, 2007, the refund claim had not been quantified.
No amounts have been recorded for any potential recovery in the Consolidated Financial Statements,
and no such amounts will be recorded until such time as the refund is considered realizable as
stipulated under SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
(12) GUARANTEES
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had $33.4 million of bank guarantees issued on its behalf, of
which $14.2 million are collateralized by cash deposits held by the respective issuing banks and
$4.4 million are supported by stand-by letters of credit issued against the Companys revolving
credit facility.
Euronet Worldwide, Inc. regularly grants guarantees of the obligations of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had granted guarantees in the following amounts:
|
|
|
Cash in various ATM networks $20.7 million over the terms of the cash supply agreements. |
|
|
|
|
Other vendor supply agreements $3.1 million over the term of the vendor agreements. |
|
|
|
|
Performance guarantees $19.3 million over the terms of the agreements with the customers. |
From time to time, Euronet enters into agreements with unaffiliated parties that contain
indemnification provisions, the terms of which may vary depending on the negotiated terms of each
respective agreement. The amount of such potential obligations is generally not stated in the
agreements. Our liability under such indemnification provisions may be subject to time and
materiality limitations, monetary caps and other conditions and defenses. Such indemnification
obligations include the following:
|
|
|
In connection with the license of proprietary systems to customers, Euronet provides
certain warranties and infringement indemnities to the licensee, which generally warrant
that such systems do not infringe on intellectual property owned by third parties and that
the systems will perform in accordance with their specifications; |
|
|
|
|
Euronet has entered into purchase and service agreements with our vendors and into
consulting agreements with providers of consulting services, pursuant to which the Company
has agreed to indemnify certain of such vendors and consultants, respectively, against
third-party claims arising from the Companys use of the vendors product or the services
of the vendor or consultant; |
|
|
|
|
In connection with acquisitions and dispositions of subsidiaries, operating units and
business assets, the Company has entered into agreements containing indemnification
provisions, which can be generally described as follows: (i) in connection with
acquisitions made by Euronet, the Company has agreed to indemnify the seller against third
party claims made against the seller relating to the subject subsidiary, operating unit or
asset and arising after the closing of the transaction, and (ii) in connection with
dispositions made by Euronet, Euronet has agreed to indemnify the buyer against damages
incurred by the buyer due to the buyers reliance on representations and warranties
relating to the subject subsidiary, operating unit or business assets in the disposition
agreement if such representations or warranties were untrue when made; |
|
|
|
|
Euronet has entered into agreements with certain third parties, including banks that
provide fiduciary and other services to Euronet or to the Companys benefit plans. Under
such agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify such service providers for third
party claims relating to the carrying out of their respective duties under such
agreements; |
|
|
|
|
The Company has issued surety bonds in compliance with money transfer licensing
requirements of certain states; and |
|
|
|
|
The Company is required to meet minimum capitalization and
cash requirements of various regulatory authorities in the
jurisdictions in which the Company has money transfer operations. |
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 June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006.
(13) INCOME TAXES
The Companys effective tax rate, after consideration of minority interest, was 36.7% and 24.4% for
the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and was 33.3% and 25.9% for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The
15
increase in the effective tax
rate largely relates to the acquisition of RIA, which operates in
jurisdictions that have tax rates that are higher than the Companys historical effective tax rate, and the recognition of a deferred tax benefit in Poland
during 2006. Since the Company is in a net operating loss position for its U.S. operations,
valuation allowances have been recorded in instances in which the Company determines that it is more
likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Accordingly, tax benefit or expense
associated with foreign currency gains or losses incurred by the Companys U.S. entities are not
currently being recognized. During the second quarter 2007, the Company recognized $1.3 million of non-cash deferred income tax
expense related to the deduction of goodwill amortization expense for U.S. income tax purposes, a
substantial portion of which relates to the Companys acquisition of RIA Envia. Goodwill arising
from certain business combinations involving the Companys U.S. operations is amortized as an
expense for tax purposes over 15 years but not for financial reporting purposes. The Company
recorded deferred income tax expense and a deferred tax liability related to the tax-deductible
goodwill. The deferred tax liability will remain on the Companys balance sheet indefinitely unless
there is an impairment of goodwill for financial reporting purposes or the related business entity
is disposed of through a sale. Moreover, during the second quarter 2007, the
Company reversed $2.7 million in valuation allowances on deferred tax
assets related to U.S. federal and state net operating losses. The Company has
concluded that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax
asset of $2.7 million will be realized because the Company would utilize tax-planning
strategies in the event its net operating losses were to expire.
As of January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 and has analyzed its filing
positions in all federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. As a result of this analysis, the
Company recognized less than $0.1 million in additional unrecognized tax benefits. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 included approximately $5.9 million
of uncertain tax benefits and other items, largely attributable to share-based compensation. Approximately $2.8 million of the unrecognized tax benefits would impact
the Companys provision for income taxes and effective tax rate, if recognized. Total estimated
accrued interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes was $0.5 million as of
January 1, 2007 and June 30, 2007. The following tax years remain open in the Companys major
jurisdictions as of January 1, 2007 and June 30, 2007:
|
|
|
|
|
Poland |
|
1999 through 2006 |
U.S. (Federal) |
|
2000 through 2006 |
Spain |
|
2002 through 2006 |
Australia |
|
2003 through 2006 |
U.K. |
|
2004 through 2006 |
Germany |
|
2004 through 2006 |
The application of FIN 48 requires significant judgment in assessing the outcome of future tax
examinations and their potential impact on the Companys estimated effective tax rate and the value
of deferred tax assets, such as those related to the Companys net operating loss carryforwards. It
is reasonably possible that amounts reserved for potential exposure could significantly change as a
result of the conclusion of tax examinations and, accordingly, materially affect our operating
results. During the six-months ended June 30, 2007, the Companys unrecognized tax benefits
increased by $0.5 million and the amount that would impact the Companys provision for income
taxes, if recognized, increased by $0.3 million. These increases were primarily due to a 1%
increase in the estimated effective federal tax rate in the U.S. as a result of the second quarter
2007 acquisition of RIA.
(14) GAIN FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In July 2002, the Company sold substantially all of the non-current assets and related capital
lease obligations of its ATM processing business in France to Atos S.A. During the first quarter
2007, the Company received a binding French Supreme Court decision relating to a lawsuit in France
that resulted in a cash recovery and gain to the Company of $0.3 million, net of legal costs. There
were no assets or liabilities held for sale at June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
OVERVIEW
COMPANY OVERVIEW, GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS AND PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (we, us, Euronet or the Company) is a leading electronic
transaction processor, offering automated teller machine (ATM) and Point of Sale (POS)
outsourcing services, integrated electronic financial transaction (EFT) software, network
gateways and electronic prepaid top-up services to financial institutions, mobile operators and
retailers and electronic consumer money transfer and bill payment services. The EFT Processing
Segment provides end to end solutions relating to operations of ATMs and POS networks, and debit
and credit card processing in Europe, the Middle East, India and China. We are one of the largest
providers of prepaid mobile airtime processing. Based on revenues and volumes, our second quarter
2007 acquisition of RIA Envia, Inc. (RIA) also makes us the third-largest global money transfer
company.
Effective January 1 2007, we began reporting and managing the operations of the EFT Processing
Segment and the Software Solutions Segment on a combined basis. Additionally, as a result of the
acquisition of RIA in April 2007, we commenced reporting of the Money Transfer Segment. Previously
reported amounts have been restated to reflect these changes, which did not impact our consolidated
financial statements. As a result of these changes, we operate in the following three principal
business segments.
|
|
|
An EFT Processing Segment, which processes transactions for a network of 9,858 ATMs
and more than 45,000 POS terminals across Europe, Asia and Africa. We provide
comprehensive electronic payment solutions consisting of ATM network participation,
outsourced ATM and POS management solutions, credit and gift card outsourcing and
electronic recharge services for prepaid mobile airtime. Through this segment, we also
offer a suite of integrated EFT software solutions for electronic payment, merchant
acquiring, card issuing and transaction delivery systems. |
|
|
|
|
A Prepaid Processing Segment, which provides distribution of prepaid mobile airtime
and other prepaid products and collection services for various prepaid products, cards and
services. Including terminals owned by unconsolidated subsidiaries, we operate a network
of approximately 358,000 POS terminals providing electronic processing of prepaid mobile
airtime top-up services in the U.S., Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific. |
|
|
|
|
A Money Transfer Segment, which provides global money transfer and bill payment
services through a sending network of agents and Company-owned stores primarily in North America, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia-Pacific, disbursing money transfers through a worldwide payer
network. |
We have six processing centers in Europe, two in Asia and two in the U.S., and we have 24 principal
offices in Europe, five in the Asia-Pacific region, four in the U.S. and one each in the Middle East
and Latin America. Our executive offices are located in Leawood, Kansas, USA.
SOURCES OF REVENUES AND CASH FLOW
Euronet earns revenues and income based on ATM management fees, transaction fees and commissions,
professional services, software licensing fees and software maintenance agreements. Each business
segments sources of revenue are described below.
EFT Processing Segment Revenue in the EFT Processing Segment, which represented approximately 22%
of total consolidated revenue for the first half of 2007, is derived from fees charged for
transactions effected by cardholders on our proprietary network of ATMs, as well as fixed
management fees and transaction fees we charge to banks for operating ATMs and processing credit
cards under outsourcing agreements. Through our proprietary network, we generally charge fees for
four types of ATM transactions: i) cash withdrawals, ii) balance inquiries, iii) transactions not
completed because the relevant card issuer does not give authorization, and iv) prepaid
telecommunication recharges. Revenue in this segment is also derived from licensing, professional
services and maintenance fees for software and sales of related hardware, primarily to financial
institutions around the world.
Prepaid Processing Segment Revenue in the Prepaid Processing Segment, which represented
approximately 66% of total consolidated revenue for the first half of 2007, is primarily derived
from commissions and processing fees received from mobile and other telecommunication operators, or
from distributors of prepaid wireless products for the distribution and/or processing of prepaid
mobile airtime. Agreements with mobile operators are important to the success of our business.
These agreements permit us to distribute prepaid mobile airtime to the mobile operators customers.
Other products offered by this segment include prepaid long distance calling card plans, prepaid
Internet plans, prepaid debit cards, prepaid gift cards and prepaid mobile content such as ring
tones and games.
Money Transfer Segment Revenue in the Money Transfer Segment, which represents approximately 12%
of total consolidated revenue for the first half of 2007, is primarily derived through the charging
of a transaction fee, as well as the difference between purchasing foreign currency at wholesale
exchange rates and selling the foreign currency to consumers at retail exchange rates. We have an
origination network in place comprised of agents and Company-owned stores in North America, the
Caribbean, Europe and Asia-Pacific
17
and a worldwide network of distribution agents, consisting primarily of financial institutions in
the transfer destination countries. Origination and distribution agents each earn fees for cash
collection and distribution services. These fees are recognized as direct operating costs at the
time of sale.
OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES
EFT Processing Segment - The continued expansion and development of our EFT Processing Segment
business will depend on various factors including the following:
|
|
|
the impact of competition by banks and other ATM operators and service providers in our current target markets; |
|
|
|
|
the demand for our ATM outsourcing services in our current target markets; |
|
|
|
|
the ability to develop products or services to drive increases in transactions; |
|
|
|
|
the expansion of our various business lines in markets where we operate and in new markets; |
|
|
|
|
the entrance into additional card acceptance and ATM management agreements with banks; |
|
|
|
|
the ability to obtain required licenses in markets we intend to enter or expand services; |
|
|
|
|
the availability of financing for expansion; |
|
|
|
|
the ability to efficiently install ATMs contracted under newly awarded outsourcing agreements; |
|
|
|
|
the successful entry into the cross-border merchant processing and acquiring business; |
|
|
|
|
the successful entry into the card issuing and outsourcing business; and |
|
|
|
|
the continued development and implementation of our software products and their
ability to interact with other leading products. |
Software products are an integral part of our product lines, and our investment in research,
development, delivery and customer support reflects our ongoing commitment to an expanded customer
base. We have been able to enter into agreements under which we use our software in lieu of cash as
our initial capital contributions to new transaction processing joint ventures. Such contributions
sometimes permit us to enter new markets without significant capital investment.
We have entered the cross-border merchant processing and acquiring business through the execution
of an agreement with a large petrol retailer in Central Europe. Since the beginning of 2007, we
have devoted significant resources to the development of the necessary processing systems and
capabilities to enter this business, which involves the purchase and design of hardware and
software. Merchant acquiring involves processing credit and debit card transactions that are made
on POS terminals, including authorization, settlement, and processing of settlement files. It may
involve the assumption of credit risk, as the principal amount of transactions may be settled to
merchants before settlements are received from card associations.
Prepaid Processing Segment We plan to expand this business by taking advantage of our existing
expertise and our relationships with mobile phone operators and retailers. Expansion will depend on
various factors, including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:
|
|
|
the ability to negotiate new agreements in additional markets with mobile phone
operators, agent financial institutions and retailers; |
|
|
|
|
the continuation of the trend towards conversion from scratch card solutions to
electronic processing solutions for prepaid mobile airtime among mobile phone users and the
continued use of third party providers such as ourselves to supply this service; |
|
|
|
|
the development of mobile phone networks in these markets and the increase in the number of mobile phone users; |
|
|
|
|
the overall pace of growth in the prepaid mobile phone market; |
|
|
|
|
our market share of the retail distribution capacity; |
|
|
|
|
the level of commission that is paid to the various intermediaries in the prepaid mobile airtime distribution chain; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to add new and differentiated prepaid products in addition to those offered by mobile operators; |
|
|
|
|
the availability of financing for further expansion; and |
|
|
|
|
our ability to successfully integrate newly acquired operations with our existing operations. |
During the first quarter 2007, we completed the acquisition of the stock of Omega Logic, Ltd.
(Omega Logic) and Brodos SRL in Romania (Brodos Romania). Omega Logic is a prepaid top-up
company based, and primarily operating, in the U.K. that enhanced our Prepaid Processing Segment
business in the U.K. Brodos Romania is a leading electronic prepaid mobile airtime processor in
Romania.
Money Transfer Segment We completed the acquisition of RIA in April 2007, which expanded our
money transfer and bill payment services business. RIA processes approximately $4.5 billion in
money transfers annually, originates transactions through a network of approximately 10,000 sending
agents, including Company-owned stores, located throughout 13 countries in North America, the
Caribbean, Europe and Asia-Pacific and disburses money transfers through a payer network of
approximately 42,000 locations in 88 countries. This acquisition makes Euronet the third-largest
global money transfer company. The Money Transfer Segment provides us with additional expansion
opportunities.
18
The expansion and development of our money transfer business will depend on various factors,
including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:
|
|
|
the continued growth in worker migration and employment opportunities; |
|
|
|
|
the mitigation of economic and political factors that
have had an adverse impact on money transfer volumes, such as the immigration
developments occurring in the U.S. during 2006; |
|
|
|
|
the continuation of the trend of increased use of electronic money transfer and
bill payment services among immigrant workers and the unbanked population in our markets; |
|
|
|
|
the ability to develop products or services at competitive prices to drive increases in transactions; |
|
|
|
|
the expansion of our services in markets where we operate and in new markets; |
|
|
|
|
the ability to strengthen our brands; |
|
|
|
|
the ability to take advantage of cross-selling opportunities with our Prepaid
Processing Segment, including providing prepaid services through RIAs stores and agents
worldwide; |
|
|
|
|
the ability to leverage our banking and merchant/retailer relationships to
expand money transfer corridors to Europe and Asia, including high growth corridors to
Central and Eastern European countries. |
|
|
|
|
our ability to successfully integrate RIA with our existing operations. |
Like other participants in the money transfer industry, as a result of immigration developments,
downturns in certain labor markets and/or other economic factors, growth rates in money transfers
from the U.S. to Mexico have slowed. This slowing of growth began during the middle of 2006 and
continues to impact money transfer revenues for transactions from the U.S. to Mexico. Despite
recent improvement in this trend, we believe that it is too early to conclude on the impact, if
any, to our results of operations.
Corporate Services, Eliminations and Other - In addition to operating in our principal business
segments described above, our Corporate Services, Elimination and Other division includes
non-operating activity, certain inter-segment eliminations and the cost of providing corporate and
other administrative services to the business segments, including share-based compensation expense
related to most stock option and restricted stock grants. These services are not directly
identifiable with our business segments. The impact of share-based compensation is recorded as an
expense of the Corporate Services division, with certain limited exceptions related to grants of
restricted stock to key members of management that vest based on the achievement of performance
criteria by our subsidiaries.

As discussed previously, effective January 1, 2007, we began reporting and managing the
operations of the EFT Processing Segment and the Software Solutions Segment on a combined basis.
Previously reported amounts have been restated to reflect these changes.
Revenues
Our revenue for the first half of 2007 increased when compared to the first half of 2006 primarily
due to increases in the number of ATMs operated and, for owned ATMs, the number of transactions
processed as well as the impact of foreign currency translations to the U.S. dollar. These
increases were attributable primarily to our operations in Poland, India and Euronet Card Services
Greece.
Partially offsetting these increases was a reduction in revenue associated with the extension of
certain customer contracts for several years beyond their original terms. In exchange for these
extensions, we paid or received up-front payments, and agreed on gradually declining fee
structures. As prescribed by U.S. GAAP, revenue under these contracts is recognized based on
proportional performance of services over the term of the contract, which generally results in
straight-line (i.e., consistent value per period) revenue recognition of the contracts total
cash flows, including any up-front payment. This straight-line revenue recognition results in
revenue that is less than contractual invoices and cash receipts in the early periods of the
agreement and revenue that is greater than the contractual invoices and cash receipts in the later
years of the agreement. As a result of the revenue recognition under these contracts, amounts
invoiced under the contracts exceeded the amount of revenue that we recognized by about $1.2
million for the first half of 2007. We may decide to enter into similar arrangements with other EFT
Processing Segment customers during 2007 and beyond.
Average monthly revenue per ATM was $1,577 for the second quarter and $1,564 for the first half of
2007 compared to $1,700 for the second quarter and $1,663 for the first half of 2006. Revenue per
transaction was $0.31 for the second quarter and $0.32 for the first half of 2007 compared to $0.35
for both the second quarter and first half of 2006. The decrease in revenue per ATM and revenue per
transaction was due to the addition of ATMs in India where revenue per ATM is generally lower than
Central and Eastern Europe, the addition of Euronet-owned ATMs where related revenue has not yet
developed to material levels and the impact of the contract extensions discussed above.
Direct operating costs
Direct operating costs consist primarily of site rental fees, cash delivery costs, cash supply
costs, maintenance, insurance, telecommunications and the cost of data center operations-related
personnel, as well as the processing centers facility related costs and other processing center
related expenses. The increase in direct operating cost for the first half of 2007 compared to the
first half of 2006
21
is attributed to the increase in the number of ATMs under operation, the number
of transactions processed and foreign currency translations to the U.S. dollar.
Gross margin
Gross margin, which is calculated as revenue less direct operating costs, increased to $27.9
million for the second quarter and $53.0 million for the first half of 2007 from $25.6 million for
the second quarter and $48.8 million for the first half of 2006. Gross margin as a percentage of
revenue was 60% for the first half of 2007 compared to 64% for the first half of 2006. The decrease in
gross margin as a percentage of revenue is due to the impact of accounting for certain contract
renewals and other fluctuations in revenues discussed above, as well as the increased contributions
of our subsidiary in India, which generally earns a lower gross margin than our other operations.
Salaries and benefits
The increase in salaries and benefits for the first half of 2007 compared to the first half of 2006
was due to staffing costs to expand in emerging markets, such as India, China and new European
markets, and additional products, such as POS, card processing and cross-border merchant processing
and acquiring. Salaries and benefits also increased as a result of general merit increases awarded
to employees and certain additional staffing requirements due to the larger number of ATMs under
operation and transactions processed. As a percentage of revenue, however, these costs remained
flat at 23% of revenue for the first half of both 2006 and 2007.
Selling, general and administrative
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the first half of 2007, compared
to the first half of 2006, is primarily due to the $1.2 million loss recorded in the first quarter
2007 under a claim from a former cash supply contractor in Central Europe. The claim loss was
awarded by an arbitration tribunal in Budapest, Hungary and involved the claim that the cash supply
contractor provided us with cash during the fourth quarter 1999 and first quarter 2000 that was not
returned. Excluding this loss, as a percentage of revenues, these costs decreased to 9% of revenue
for the first half of 2007 from 10% of revenue for the first half of 2006.
Depreciation and amortization
The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the first half of 2007 compared to the
first half of 2006 is due primarily to additional equipment and software for the expansion of our
Hungarian processing center incurred during 2006 and additional ATMs in Poland. As a percentage of
revenue, these expenses remained flat at 9% of revenue for the first half of both 2006 and 2007.
Operating income
Operating income decreased slightly for the first half of 2007 compared to the first half of 2006,
primarily due to the arbitration loss described under selling, general and administrative expenses
above. Excluding the arbitration loss, the increase in operating income for the segment is
generally the result of increased revenue and gross margin described above, combined with
leveraging certain management cost structures. Excluding the arbitration loss, operating income as
a percentage of revenue was 20% for the first half of 2007 compared to 22% for the first half of
2006 and $0.06 per transaction for the first half of 2007 compared to $0.08 per transaction for the
first half of 2006. Average monthly operating income per ATM was $310 for the first half of 2007
compared to $367 for the first half of 2006. The decreases in operating income as a percentage of
revenue, operating income per transaction and average monthly operating income per ATM were
generally the result of the decreases in gross margin, revenue per ATM and revenue per transaction
described above.
For the first half of 2007 and 2006, operating income includes $0.6 million and $0.7 million,
respectively, in losses associated with expanding operations for the Companys 75% owned joint
venture in China. As of June 30, 2007, we have deployed and are providing all of the day-to-day
outsourcing services for over 100 ATMs. Under current agreements, we expect that the total number
of ATMs in China deployed and for which we will be providing day-to-day outsourcing services will
increase to over 800 during the next 12 to 18 months. Operating income for the first half of 2007
also includes expenses of $0.2 million related to the development of the capabilities necessary to
enter the cross-border merchant processing and acquiring business. We expect that our results for
the full year 2007 will include expenses of approximately $1.5 million to $2.0 million related to
the ongoing investment in developing these capabilities.
Software sales backlog
As of June 30, 2007, we had a software contract backlog of approximately $6.9 million compared to
approximately $9.4 million as of June 30, 2006. Such backlog represents software sales based on
signed contracts under which we continue to have performance milestones before the sale will be
completed. We recognize revenue on a percentage of completion method, based on certain milestone
conditions, for our software solutions. As a result, we have not recognized all the revenue
associated with these sales contracts. We cannot
give assurances that the milestones under the contracts will be completed within one year or that
we will be able to recognize the related revenue within the one-year period.

Effective in the second quarter 2007, as a result of the acquisition of RIA, the Company
established the Money Transfer Segment. The Companys previous money transfer business was
relatively insignificant and was reported and managed as part of the Companys Prepaid Processing
Segment. We have restated previously reported amounts to reflect the reclassification of the money
transfer business from the Prepaid Processing Segment to Money Transfer Segment for all periods
presented.
Revenues
The increase in revenues for the first half of 2007 compared to the first half of 2006 was
generally attributable to: (i) the increase in total transactions processed across all of our
Prepaid Processing Segment operations, (ii) the first quarter 2007 acquisitions of Omega Logic and
Brodos Romania, and (iii) foreign currency translations to the U.S. dollar. Revenue growth was
partially offset by reduced revenue in Spain resulting from the second quarter 2006 expiration of a
preferential commission arrangement with a Spanish mobile operator. Additionally, in certain mature
markets, our revenue growth has slowed substantially and, in some cases, revenues have decreased
because conversion from scratch cards to electronic top-up is substantially complete and certain
mobile operators and retailers are driving competitive reductions in pricing and margins. We expect
most of our revenue growth for 2007 and beyond to be derived from developing markets or markets in
which there is organic growth in the prepaid sector overall, from continued conversion from scratch
cards to electronic top-up in less mature markets, from additional products sold over the base of
prepaid processing terminals and, possibly, from acquisitions.
Revenue per transaction decreased to $0.89 for the second quarter and $0.90 for the first half of
2007 from $1.05 for the second quarter and $1.10 for the first half of 2006 due primarily to the
growth in revenues and transactions recorded by our ATX subsidiary. ATX provides only transaction
processing services without direct costs and other operating costs generally associated with
installing and managing terminals; therefore, the revenue we recognize from these transactions is a
fraction of that recognized on average transactions, but with very low cost. Transaction volumes at
ATX have increased by more than 200% for the first half of 2007 compared to the first half of 2006.
The expiration of preferential commission arrangements in Spain discussed above also contributed to
the decrease in revenue per transaction. Partially offsetting the decreases described above was the
growth in both volumes and revenues in Australia and the U.S., which generally have higher revenue
per transaction, but also pay higher commission rates to retailers, than our other Prepaid
Processing subsidiaries.
Direct operating costs
Direct operating costs in the Prepaid Processing Segment include the commissions we pay to retail
merchants for the distribution and sale of prepaid mobile airtime and other prepaid products, as
well as communication and paper expenses required to operate POS terminals. Because of their
nature, these expenditures generally fluctuate directly with revenues and processed transactions.
The increase in direct operating costs is generally attributable to the increase in total
transactions processed and foreign currency translations to the U.S. dollar compared to the prior
year.
23
Gross margin
Gross margin, which represents revenue less direct costs, was $26.0 million for the second quarter
and $50.3 million for the first half of 2007 compared to $22.1 million for the second quarter and
$44.3 million for the first half of 2006. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was relatively
flat at 19% for the first half of 2007 compared to 20% for the first half of 2006. Gross margin per
transaction was $0.16 for the second quarter and $0.17 for the first half of 2007 compared to $0.20
for the second quarter and $0.22 for the first half of 2006. Most of the reduction in gross margin
per transaction is due to the growth of revenues and transactions at our ATX subsidiary, the
expiration of preferential commission arrangements in Spain discussed above and the general
maturity of the prepaid mobile airtime business in many of our markets.
Salaries and benefits
The increase in salaries and benefits for the first half of 2007 compared to the first half of 2006
is primarily the result of the acquisitions of Brodos Romania and Omega Logic, as well as
additional overhead to support development in other new and growing markets. As a percentage of
revenue, salaries and benefits have decreased slightly to 5.0% for the first half of 2007, from
5.2% for the first half of 2006.
Selling, general and administrative
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the first half of 2007 compared to
the first half of 2006 is the result of the acquisitions of Brodos Romania and Omega Logic, as well
as additional overhead to support development in other new and growing markets. As a percentage of
revenue these selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 3.7% for the first half of
2007 compared to 3.4% of revenue for the first half of 2006 mainly due to additional expenses
incurred in new and growing markets.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense primarily represents amortization of acquired intangibles and
the depreciation of POS terminals we install in retail stores. The increase for the first half of
2007 compared to the first half 2006 is primarily due to the acquisitions of Brodos Romania and
Omega Logic. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization decreased to 2.7% for the
first half of 2007 from 3.0% for first half of 2006.
Operating income
The improvement in operating income for the first half of 2007 compared to the first half of 2006
was due to the significant growth in revenues and transactions processed and the benefit of foreign
currency translations to the U.S. dollar, partially offset by the impact of the events in Spain
discussed above and the costs of development in new and growing markets.
Operating income as a percentage of revenues was 6.9% for the second quarter and 7.2% for the first
half of 2007 compared to 7.7% for second quarter and 8.2% for the first half of 2006. The decreases
are primarily due to the events in Spain and operating expenses incurred to support development in
new and growing markets. Operating income per transaction was $0.06 for the second quarter and
$0.07 for the first half of 2007 compared to $0.08 for the second quarter and $0.09 for the first
half of 2006. The decrease in operating income per transaction is due to the events in Spain and
the growth in revenues and transactions at our ATX subsidiary.

MONEY TRANSFER SEGMENT
The Money Transfer Segment was established during April 2007 with the acquisition of RIA, which is
more fully described in Note 4 Acquisitions, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements
included in this report. To assist in better understanding the results of the Money Transfer
Segment, pro forma results have been provided as if RIAs results were included in our consolidated
results of operations beginning January 1, 2006. Because our results of operations for the three-
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 were insignificant, and fluctuations when compared to the
three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 are nearly entirely due to the acquisition of RIA,
the following discussion and analysis will focus on pro forma results of operations. The pro forma
financial information is not intended to represent, or be indicative of, the consolidated results
of operations or financial condition that would have been reported had the RIA acquisition been
completed as of the beginning of the periods presented. Moreover, the pro forma financial
information should not be considered as representative of our future consolidated results of
operations or financial condition. The following tables present the actual and pro forma results of
operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 for the Money Transfer
Segment:

Comparison of pro forma operating results
During the second quarter 2007, we combined our previous money transfer business with RIA and
incurred total exit costs of $0.9 million. These costs represent the accelerated depreciation and
amortization of property and equipment, software and leasehold improvements that were disposed of
during the second quarter 2007; the write-off of marketing materials and trademarks that have been
discontinued; the write off of accounts receivable from agents that did not meet RIAs credit
requirements; and severance and retention
25
payments made to certain employees. These exit costs are
not included in pro forma operating expenses in the above table.
Revenues
Revenue from the Money Transfer Segment includes a transaction fee for each transaction as well as
the difference between purchasing currency at wholesale exchange rates and selling the currency to
customers at retail exchange rates. On a historical basis 70-75% of our Money Transfer Segment
revenue is derived from transaction fees, 24-26% is derived from the foreign currency spread and 2%
or less is derived from other sources, such as fees for cashing checks, issuing money orders and
processing bill payments. For the six-months ended June 30, 2007, 75% of our money transfers were
initiated in the U.S., 21% in Europe and 4% in other countries, such as Canada, Australia and the
Dominican Republic. For the six-months ended June 30, 2006, 83% of our money transfers were
initiated in the U.S., 15% in Europe and 2% in other countries. We expect that the U.S. will
continue to represent our highest volume market; however, significant future growth is expected to
be derived from non-U.S. sources.
The increase in pro forma revenues for the first half of 2007 compared to the first half of 2006 is
due to a 13% increase in the number of transactions processed. Money transfers to Mexico, which
represented approximately 40% of total money transfers, decreased by 1.5%, while transfers to all
other countries increased 26% when compared to the prior year. The decline in transfers to
Mexico was largely the result of immigration developments, downturns in certain labor markets and
other economic factors impacting the U.S. market. These issues have also resulted in certain
competitors lowering transaction fees and foreign currency exchange spreads in certain markets where we do
business in an attempt to limit the impact on money transfer volumes. However, we have seen recent
improvement in this trend and June 2007 total money transfers to Mexico exceeded total money transfers to Mexico in
June 2006.
Direct operating costs
Direct operating costs in the Money Transfer Segment primarily represent commissions paid to agents
that originate money transfers on our behalf and distribution agents that disburse funds to the
customers destination beneficiary, together with less significant costs, such as
telecommunication and bank fees to collect money from originating agents. Direct operating costs
generally increase or decrease by a similar percentage as revenues.
Gross margin
Pro forma gross margin, which represents revenue less direct costs, was $23.8 million for the
second quarter and $44.5 million for the first half of 2007 compared to $21.8 million for the
second quarter and $40.6 million for the first half of 2006. This improvement is primarily due to
the growth in money transfer transactions discussed above. Pro forma gross margin as a percentage
of revenue was 46% for the first half of both 2007 and 2006.
Salaries and benefits
Salaries and benefits include salaries and commissions paid to employees, the cost of providing
employee benefits, amounts paid to contract workers and accruals for incentive compensation. Pro
forma salaries and benefits expense for the first half of 2007 increased as compared to the first
half of 2006 primarily due to overall Company growth. Pro forma salaries and benefits for 2006 also include costs associated with our previous
money transfer business that generally have been eliminated from our cost structure for the second
quarter 2007.
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses include operations support costs, such as rent,
utilities, professional fees, indirect telecommunications, advertising and other miscellaneous
overhead costs. Pro forma selling, general and administrative expenses for the first half of 2007 were
relatively flat compared to the first half of 2006. However, the prior year pro forma results
include costs associated with our previous money transfer business, which generally have been
eliminated from our cost structure beginning in the second quarter 2007. Excluding the impact of
these costs, the increase in pro forma selling, general and administrative expenses for the first
half of 2007 compared to the first half of 2006 is due primarily to overall Company growth.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization primarily represents amortization of acquired intangibles, but also
includes depreciation of money transfer terminals, computers and software, leasehold improvements
and office equipment. The increase in pro forma depreciation and amortization for the first half of
2007 compared to the first half of 2006 is primarily due to additional computer equipment in our
customer service centers and increased leasehold improvements, office equipment and computer
equipment for expansion.

Operating income
The increase in pro forma operating income for the first half of 2007 compared to the first half of
2006 is the result of increased pro forma revenues discussed above.

Corporate operating expenses
The decrease in salaries and benefits for the first half of 2007 compared to the first half of 2006
was due primarily to lower incentive accruals and the December 2006 resignation of our former
President and Chief Operating Officer. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses
was mainly the result of higher professional fees and other expenses associated with acquisition
analysis.

Interest income
Interest income was $8.4 million for the first half of 2007 compared to $6.1 million for the first
half of 2006. The increase in interest income for the first half of 2007 was primarily due to cash
generated from operations and the $154.3 million of net proceeds from the private equity placement
that was completed during March 2007. We have also benefited from higher average interest rates
during the first half of 2007 compared to the first half of 2006 due to a shift of investments from
money market accounts to commercial paper and the general rise in short-term interest rates.
Interest expense
Interest expense was $11.4 million for the first half of 2007 compared to $7.3 million for the
first half of 2006. The increase in interest expense is primarily related to an additional $190
million in borrowings to finance the acquisition of RIA and borrowings under the revolving credit
facility to finance the working capital requirements of RIA, which comprises our new Money Transfer
Segment. The RIA acquisition was completed on April 4, 2007.
27
Income from unconsolidated affiliates
Income from unconsolidated affiliates increased for the first half of 2007 compared to the first
half of 2006 because we recognized a gain of $0.4 million from the sale of our 8% interest in
CashNet Telecommunications Egypt SAE during the second quarter 2007. The remainder of income from
unconsolidated affiliates represents the equity in income of our 40% investment in e-pay Malaysia.
Foreign currency exchange gain, net
The re-measurement of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional
currency of each of our subsidiaries gives rise to foreign currency exchange gains and losses that
are recorded in determining net income. We recorded net foreign currency exchange gains of $1.7
million and $4.3 million during the first half of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

We calculate our effective tax rate by dividing income tax expense by pre-tax book income
including the effect of minority interests. Our effective tax rate was 33.3% for the first half of
2007 compared to 25.9% for the first half of 2006.
We are in a net operating loss position for our U.S. operations and, accordingly have valuation
allowances to reserve for deferred tax assets that are not considered more likely than not of
realization. Therefore, we do not currently recognize the tax benefit or expense associated with
foreign currency gains or losses incurred by our U.S. operations. Excluding foreign currency exchange
translation results from pre-tax income, our effective tax rate was 35.7% for the first half of
2007 and 30.7% for the first half of 2006.
The increase in the year-over-year effective tax rates, excluding foreign currency gains and
losses, was primarily attributable to the expiration of operating loss benefits in Poland and
India, the increase in profitability in higher than average tax rate jurisdictions and the dilutive
net effects on pre-tax income resulting from the RIA acquisition. The acquisition of RIA increased
the effective tax rate for two reasons: (i) RIA is expected to generate net operating losses for
U.S. tax purposes that are expected to require a valuation allowance; and (ii) RIA significantly
expands our U.S. presence and the combined U.S. federal and state tax rates are higher than most
tax rates in other jurisdictions where we operate.
During the second quarter 2007, we recognized $1.3 million of non-cash deferred income tax expense
related to the deduction of goodwill amortization expense for U.S. income tax purposes, a
substantial portion of which relates to the acquisition of RIA Envia. Goodwill arising from certain
business combinations involving our U.S. operations is amortized as an expense for tax purposes
over 15 years but not for financial reporting purposes. We recorded deferred income tax expense and
a deferred tax liability related to the tax-deductible goodwill. The deferred tax liability will
remain on the balance sheet indefinitely unless there is an impairment of goodwill for financial
reporting purposes or the related business entity is disposed of through a sale. Moreover, during the
second quarter 2007, we reversed $2.7 million in valuation
allowances on deferred tax assets related to U.S. federal and state net operating losses. We concluded that it is more likely than not that the net
deferred tax asset will be realized because we would utilize
tax-planning strategies in the event its net operating losses were to
expire.
We determine income tax expense and remit income taxes based upon enacted tax laws and regulations
applicable in each of the taxing jurisdictions where we conduct business. Based on our
interpretation of such laws and regulations, and considering the evidence of available facts and
circumstances and baseline operating forecasts, we have accrued the estimated tax effects of
certain transactions, business ventures, contractual and organizational structures, projected
business unit performance, and the estimated future reversal of timing differences. Should a taxing
jurisdiction change its laws and regulations or dispute our conclusions, or should management
become aware of new facts or other evidence that could alter our conclusions, the resulting impact
to our estimates could have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
28
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In July 2002, we sold substantially all of the non-current assets and related capital lease
obligations of our ATM processing business in France to Atos S.A. During the first quarter 2007, we
received a binding French Supreme Court decision relating to a lawsuit in France that resulted in a
cash recovery and gain of $0.3 million, net of legal costs. There were no assets or liabilities
held for sale at June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006.
NET INCOME
We recorded net income of $18.2 million for the first half of 2007 compared to $20.5 million for
the first half of 2006. As more fully discussed above, the decrease of $2.3 million was primarily
the result of a decrease in the net foreign currency exchange gain of $2.6 million, an increase in
net interest expense of $1.8 million, an increase in income tax expense of $1.7 million, and an
increase in income attributable to minority interest of $0.5 million. These decreases were
partially offset by an increase in operating income of $3.5 million, an increase in income from
unconsolidated affiliates of $0.5 million and a gain from discontinued operations of $0.3 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital
As of June 30, 2007, we had working capital, which is calculated as the difference between total
current assets and total current liabilities, of $264.9 million, compared to working capital of
$284.4 million as of December 31, 2006. Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.53
at June 30, 2007, compared to 1.70 as of December 31, 2006. The decrease in working capital and the
reduction in the ratio of current assets to current liabilities were due primarily to the reduction
in cash of approximately $168.3 million for the acquisition of RIA, mostly offset by the proceeds
from the private equity offering that we completed during March 2007. As of June 30, 2007, the net
proceeds from the offering remained unused and included in unrestricted cash.
Operating cash flow
Cash flows
provided by operating activities were $1.0 million for the first half of 2007 compared
to $15.6 million for the first half of 2006. This decrease was primarily due to the acquisition of RIA. The purchase price was reduced by $21.7
million for liabilities assumed in excess of an agreed upon amount, which decreased the cash paid
to the sellers and increased the amount of cash we paid out of operating cash flows to settle these
assumed liabilities. The decrease was
also due to fluctuations in working capital
associated with the timing of the settlement process with mobile operators in the Prepaid
Processing Segment and decreased net income when compared to the prior year. Partially offsetting
these decreases was the increase in depreciation and amortization expense, which is a non-cash
expense and added back to net income to reconcile to net cash
provided by operating activities.
Investing activity cash flow
Cash flows
used in investing activities were $353.8 million for the first half of 2007, compared to
$14.0 million for the first half of 2006. Our investing activities for the first half of 2007
consisted of $314.3 million in cash paid related to
acquisitions, primarily RIA. We placed $26 million in escrow in connection with the agreement to acquire Envios de Valores La Nacional Corp. (La
Nacional). See further discussion under other trends and uncertainties Agreement to acquire La
Nacional below. We also incurred $14.4 million for purchases of property and equipment, software development
and other investing activities. Our investing activities for the first half of 2006 include $2.3
million in cash paid for acquisitions and $11.7 million for purchases of property and equipment,
software development and other investing activities totaling
$2.8 million.
Financing activity cash flows
Cash flows from financing activities were $313.0 million during the first half of 2007 compared to
$8.9 million during the first half of 2006. Our financing activities for the first half of 2007
consisted primarily of $190.0 million in proceeds from borrowings under our term
loan agreement that were used to finance a portion of the acquisition
of RIA and proceeds from the
equity private placement and stock option exercises totaling $163.5 million. Partially offsetting these
increases were net repayments on debt obligations of $35.4 million, dividends paid to minority
interest stockholders of $1.6 million and debt issuance costs associated with our new syndicated
credit facility of $3.8 million. To support the short-term cash needs of our Money Transfer Segment, we generally borrow amounts
under the revolving credit agreements several times each month to fund the correspondent network in
advance of collecting remittance amounts from the agency network. These borrowings are repaid over
a very short period of time, generally within a few days. Primarily as a result of this, during the
second quarter, we had a total of $408.7 million in borrowings and $438.3 million in repayments
under our revolving credit agreements. Our financing activities for
the first half of 2006 consist
primarily of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and employee share purchase of $11.7
million, partially offset by net repayments of short-term borrowings, payments on capital lease
obligations and other financing activities totaling $2.8 million.
Expected future financing and investing cash requirements primarily depend on our acquisition
activity and the related financing needs.
Other sources of capital
Credit Facility In connection with completing the acquisition of RIA discussed under
Opportunities and Challenges above, we entered into a $290 million secured credit facility
consisting of a $190 million seven-year term loan, which was fully drawn at closing, and a $100
million five-year revolving credit facility (together, the Credit Facility). The $190 million
seven-year term loan bears interest at LIBOR
29
plus 200 basis points or prime plus 100 basis points
and requires that we repay 1% of the outstanding balance each year, with the remaining balance
payable after seven years. We estimate that we will be able to repay the $190 million term loan
prior to its maturity date through cash flows available from operations, provided our operating
cash flows are not required for future business developments. Financing costs of $4.3 million have
been deferred and are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans.
The $100 million five-year revolving credit facility replaced the previous existing revolving
credit facility and bears interest at LIBOR or prime plus a margin that adjusts each quarter based
upon our consolidated total debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) ratio. We intend to use the revolving credit facility primarily to fund working capital
requirements, which are expected to increase as a result of our recent acquisitions. Based on our
current projected working capital requirements, we anticipate that our revolving credit facility
will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs.
We may be required to repay our obligations under the Credit Facility six months before any
potential repurchase date under our $140 million 1.625% Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2024 or
our $175 million 3.5% Convertible Debentures Due 2025, unless we are able to demonstrate that
either: (i) we could borrow unsubordinated funded debt equal to the principal amount of the
applicable convertible debentures while remaining in compliance with the financial covenants in the
Credit Facility or (ii) we will have sufficient liquidity (as determined by the administrative
agent and the lenders). The Credit Facility contains three financial covenants that become more
restrictive through September 30, 2008: (1) total debt to EBITDA ratio, (2) senior secured debt to
EBITDA ratio and (3) EBITDA to fixed charge coverage ratio. Because of the change to these
covenants over time, in order to remain in compliance with our debt covenants we will be required
to increase our EBITDA, repay debt, or both. These and other material terms and conditions
applicable to the Credit Facility are described in the agreement governing the Credit Facility.
The term loan may be expanded by up to an additional $150 million and the revolving credit facility
can be expanded by up to an additional $25 million, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions
including pro-forma debt covenant compliance.
As of June 30, 2007, we had borrowings of $189.5 million outstanding against the term loan and we
had borrowings of $40.3 million and stand-by letters of credit of $4.4 million outstanding against
the revolving credit facility. The remaining $55.3 million under the revolving credit facility
($80.3 million if the facility were increased to $125 million) was available for borrowing.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are being used to fund short-term working capital
requirements in the U.S. and India. Our weighted average interest rate under the revolving credit
facility as of June 30, 2007 was 8.2%.
Short-term debt obligations Short-term debt obligations consist primarily of the current
portion of the term loan, credit lines, overdraft facilities and short-term loans to support ATM
cash needs and supplement short-term working capital requirements. As of June 30, 2007, we had $7.0
million in short-term debt obligations, comprised of $5.1 million being used to fund short-term
working capital requirements in the Czech Republic and Spain and $1.9 million for the 1% annual
repayment under the term loan.
Our Prepaid Processing Segment subsidiaries in Spain enter into agreements with financial
institutions to receive cash in advance of collections on customers accounts. These arrangements
can be with or without recourse and the financial institutions charge the Spanish subsidiaries
transaction fees and/or interest in connection with these advances. Cash received can be up to 40
days prior to the customer invoice due dates. Accordingly, the Spanish subsidiaries remain
obligated to the banks on the cash advances until the underlying account receivable is ultimately
collected. Where the risk of collection remains with Euronet, the receipt of cash continues to be
carried on the consolidated balance sheet in each of trade accounts receivable and accrued expenses
and other current liabilities. Amounts outstanding under these arrangements are generally $2
million or less.
We believe that the short-term debt obligations can be refinanced at terms acceptable to us.
However, if acceptable refinancing options are not available, we believe that amounts due under
these obligations can be funded through cash generated from operations, together with cash on hand
or borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Convertible debt We have $175 million in principal amount of 3.50% Convertible Debentures
Due 2025 that are convertible into 4.3 million shares of Euronet Common Stock at a conversion price
of $40.48 per share upon the occurrence of certain events (relating to the closing prices of
Euronet Common Stock exceeding certain thresholds for specified periods). We will pay contingent
interest for the six-month period from October 15, 2012 through
April 14, 2013 and for each six-month period thereafter from April 15 to October 14 or October 15
to April 14 if the average trading price of the debentures for the applicable five
trading-day period preceding such applicable six-month interest period equals or exceeds 120% of the
principal amount of the debentures. Contingent interest will equal 0.35% per annum of the average
trading price of a debenture for such five trading-day periods. The debentures may not be redeemed
by us until October 20, 2012 but are redeemable at par at any time thereafter. Holders of the
debentures have the option to require us to purchase their debentures at par on October 15, 2012,
2015 and 2020, or upon a change in control of the Company. When due, these debentures can be
settled in cash or Euronet Common Stock, at our option, at predetermined conversion rates.
We also have $140 million in principal amount of 1.625% Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2024 that
are convertible into 4.2 million shares of Euronet Common Stock at a conversion price of $33.63 per
share upon the occurrence of certain events (relating to the closing prices of Euronet Common Stock
exceeding certain thresholds for specified periods). We will pay contingent interest for the
six-month period from December 20, 2009 through June 14, 2010 and for
each six-month period thereafter from
30
June 15 to December 14 or December 15 to June 14 if the average trading price of the debentures for the applicable five trading-day period preceding
such applicable six-month interest period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the debentures.
Contingent interest will equal 0.30% per annum of the average trading price of a debenture for such
five trading-day periods. The debentures may not be redeemed by us until December 20, 2009 but are
redeemable at any time thereafter at par. Holders of the debentures have the option to require us
to purchase their debentures at par on December 15, 2009, 2014 and 2019, and upon a change in
control of the Company. When due, these debentures can be settled in cash or Euronet Common Stock,
at our option, at predetermined conversion rates.
These terms and other material terms and conditions applicable to the convertible debentures are
set forth in the indenture agreements governing these debentures.
Proceeds from issuance of shares and other capital contributions We have established, and
shareholders have approved, share compensation plans that allow the Company to make grants of
restricted stock, or options to purchase shares of Common Stock, to certain current and prospective
key employees, directors and consultants. During the first half of 2007, 213,790 stock options were
exercised at an average exercise price of $15.82, resulting in proceeds to us of approximately $3.4
million.
Other uses of capital
Payment obligations related to acquisitions As partial consideration for the acquisition
of RIA, we granted the sellers of RIA 3,685,098 contingent value rights (CVRs) and 3,685,098
stock appreciation rights (SARs). The 3,685,098 CVRs mature on October 1, 2008 and will result in
the issuance of up to $20 million of additional shares of Euronet Common Stock or payment of
additional cash, at our option, if the price of Euronet Common Stock is less than $32.56 on the
maturity date. The 3,685,098 SARs entitle the sellers to acquire additional shares of Euronet
Common Stock at an exercise price of $27.14 at any time through October 1, 2008. Between the CVRs
and SARs, the sellers are entitled to additional consideration of at least $20 million in Euronet
Common Stock or cash. The SARS also provide potential additional value to the sellers for
situations in which Euronet Common Stock appreciates beyond $32.56 per share prior to October 1,
2008, which is to be settled through the issuance of additional shares of Euronet Common Stock.
These and other terms and conditions applicable to the CVRs and SARs are set forth in the
agreements governing these instruments.
We have potential contingent obligations to the former owner of the net assets of Movilcarga. Based
upon presently available information we do not believe any additional payments will be required.
The seller has disputed this conclusion and may seek arbitration as provided for in the purchase
agreement. Any additional payments, if ultimately determined to be owed the seller, will be
recorded as additional goodwill and could be made in either cash of a combination of cash and
Euronet Common Stock at our option.
In connection with the acquisition of Brodos Romania, we agreed to contingent consideration
arrangements based on the achievement of certain performance criteria. If the criteria are
achieved, during 2009 and 2010, we would have to pay a total of $2.5 million in cash or 75,489
shares of Euronet Common Stock, at the option of the seller.
Leases We lease ATMs and other property and equipment under capital lease arrangements
and as of June 30, 2007 we owed $18.8 million under these arrangements. The majority of these lease
agreements are entered into in connection with long-term outsourcing agreements where, generally,
we purchase a banks ATMs and simultaneously sell the ATMs to an entity related to the bank and
lease back the ATMs for purposes of fulfilling the ATM outsourcing agreement with the bank. We
fully recover the related lease costs from the bank under the outsourcing agreements. Generally,
the leases may be canceled without penalty upon reasonable notice in the unlikely event the bank or
we were to terminate the related outsourcing agreement. We expect that, if terms were acceptable,
we would acquire more ATMs from banks under such outsourcing and lease agreements.
Capital expenditures and needs Total capital expenditures for the first half of 2007 were
$15.3 million, of which $1.7 million were funded through capital leases. These capital expenditures
were primarily for the purchase of ATMs to meet contractual requirements in Poland and India, the
purchase and installation ATMs in key under-penetrated markets, the purchase of POS terminals for
the Prepaid Processing Segment and office and data center computer equipment and software. Included in capital
expenditures for office and data center equipment and software for the first half of 2007 is
approximately $2.4 million in capital expenditures for the purchase and development of the
necessary processing systems and capabilities to enter the cross-border merchant processing and
acquiring business. Total capital expenditures for 2007 are estimated to be approximately $30
million to $35 million, primarily for the purchase of ATMs to meet contractual requirements in
Poland and India, to purchase and install ATMs in future key under-penetrated markets, the purchase
of terminals for the prepaid processing and money transfer businesses and office and data center
computer equipment and software. We expect up to approximately $10 million of the capital expenditures
will be covered through capital leases in conjunction with ATM outsourcing agreements where we
already have signed agreements with banks. The balance of these capital expenditures will be funded
through cash generated from operations, together with cash on hand.
In the Prepaid Processing Segment, approximately 92,000 of the approximately 358,000 POS devices
that we operate are Company-owned, with the remaining terminals being operated as integrated cash
register devices of our major retail customers or owned by the retailers. As our Prepaid Processing
Segment expands, we will continue to add terminals in certain independent retail locations at a
price of approximately $300 per terminal. We expect the proportion of owned terminals to total
terminals operated to remain relatively constant.
31
Litigation During 2005, a former cash supply contractor in Central Europe (the
Contractor) claimed that we owed approximately $2.0 million for the provision of cash during the
fourth quarter 1999 and first quarter 2000 that had not been returned. This claim was made after
the Company terminated its business with the Contractor and established a cash supply agreement
with another supplier. In the first quarter 2006, the Contractor initiated legal action in
Budapest, Hungary regarding the claim. In April 2007, an arbitration tribunal awarded the
Contractor $1.0 million, plus $0.2 million in interest, under the claim, which was recorded as
selling, general and administrative expenses of the Companys EFT Processing Segment during the
first quarter 2007 and paid in the second quarter 2007.
At current and projected cash flow levels, we anticipate that cash generated from operations,
together with cash on hand and amounts available under our recently amended revolving credit
agreements and other existing and potential future financing will be sufficient to meet our debt,
leasing, contingent acquisition and capital expenditure obligations. If our capital resources are
insufficient to meet these obligations, we will seek to refinance our debt 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.
Contingencies
From time to time, we are a party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.
Currently, there are no contingencies that we believe, either individually or in the aggregate,
would have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated results of operations or financial
condition.
During 2006, the Internal Revenue Service announced that Internal Revenue Code Section 4251
(relating to telecommunications excise tax) will no longer apply to, among other services, prepaid
mobile airtime such as the services offered by our Prepaid Processing Segments U.S. operations.
Additionally, companies that paid this excise tax during the period beginning on March 1, 2003 and
ending on July 31, 2006, are entitled to a credit or refund of amounts paid in conjunction with the
filing of 2006 federal income tax returns. We plan to claim refunds for amounts paid during this
period. Because of the complexity of the matter, the refund claim has not yet been quantified. No
amounts have been recorded for any potential recovery in our Consolidated Financial Statements and
no amounts will be recorded until such time as the refund is considered realizable as stipulated
under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
Other trends and uncertainties
Agreement to acquire La Nacional During January 2007, we signed a stock purchase
agreement to acquire Envios de Valores La Nacional Corp. and its U.S. based affiliates (La
Nacional), subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. In connection
with this agreement, in January 2007, we deposited $26 million in an escrow account created for the proposed
acquisition. The escrowed funds can only be released by mutual agreement of the Company and La
Nacional or through legal remedies available in the agreement.
On February 6, 2007, two employees of La Nacional working in different La Nacional stores were
arrested for allegedly violating federal money laundering laws and certain state statutes. On April
5, 2007, we gave notice to the stockholders of La Nacional of the termination of the stock purchase
agreement and requested the release of the $26 million held in escrow under the terms of the stock
purchase agreement. La Nacional is contesting our request for release of the escrowed funds. While
pursuing all legal remedies available to us, we are also engaged in negotiations to determine
whether the dispute can be resolved through revised terms for the acquisition. We cannot predict
when this dispute will be resolved or what the resolution may be.
Cross border merchant processing and acquiring We have entered the cross-border merchant
processing and acquiring business, through the execution of an agreement with a large petrol
retailer in Central Europe. Since the beginning of 2007, we have devoted significant resources,
including capital expenditures of approximately $2.4 million, to the ongoing investment in
development of the necessary processing systems and capabilities to enter this business, which involves the purchase and design
of hardware and software. Merchant acquiring involves processing credit and debit card transactions
that are made on POS terminals, including authorization, settlement, and processing of settlement
files. It will involve the assumption of credit risk, as the principal amount of transactions will
be settled to merchants before settlements are received from card associations. We expect to incur
operating expenses of approximately $1.5 million to $2.0 million in our EFT Processing Segment for
2007 related to the ongoing investment in developing these
capabilities.
Inflation and functional currencies
Generally, the countries in which we operate have experienced low and stable inflation in recent
years. Therefore, the local currency in each of these markets is the functional currency.
Currently, we do not believe that inflation will have a significant effect on our results of
operations or financial position. We continually review inflation and the functional currency in
each of the countries where we operate.
32
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We regularly grant guarantees of the obligations of our wholly-owned 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 June 30, 2007, there were no material
changes from the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
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 June 30, 2007.

For the purposes of the above table, our $140 million convertible debentures issued in
December 2004 are considered due during 2009, and our $175 million convertible debentures issued in
October 2005 are considered due during 2012, representing the first years in which holders have the
right to exercise their put option. Additionally, the above table only includes interest on these
convertible debentures up to these dates.
Estimated contingent acquisition obligations as of June 30, 2007 include: 1) $20 million in cash
and/or Euronet Common Stock to be provided to the sellers of RIA upon the assumed settlement of the
CVRs and SARs during October 2008; and 2) additional consideration to be settled in cash or Euronet
Common Stock that we may have to pay during 2009 and 2010 in connection with the acquisition of
Brodos, totaling up to $2.5 million. See Note 4 Acquisitions to the unaudited consolidated
financial statements included elsewhere in this report for a more complete description of these
acquisitions.
Purchase obligations include contractual amounts for ATM maintenance, cleaning, telecommunication
and cash replenishment operating expenses. While contractual payments may be greater or less based
on the number of ATMs and transaction levels, the purchase obligations listed above are estimated
based on the current levels of such business activity.
Our total liability for uncertain tax positions under FIN 48 was $3.3 million as of June 30, 2007. We are not able to reasonably estimate the amount by which the liability will
increase or decrease over time; however, at this time, the Company does not expect a significant payment related to these obligations within the next year.
See Note 13 Income Taxes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
During 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an exposure draft that would
amend SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. During redeliberations, the FASB has reaffirmed
certain decisions including, among other things: 1) measuring and recognizing contingent
consideration at fair value as of the acquisition date and recording adjustments to liabilities as
adjustments in earnings; 2) identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination
should be measured at a current exchange value rather than at an entity-specific value; 3) the
acquiring company should measure and recognize the acquirees identifiable assets and liabilities
and goodwill in a step or partial acquisition at 100 percent of their acquisition date fair values;
and 4) accounting for transaction related costs as expenses in the period incurred, rather than
capitalizing these costs as a component of the respective purchase price. The FASB has not yet
reaffirmed decisions on other items. The FASB expects to issue the final statement during the third
quarter 2007, which will be effective for us beginning in 2009. If adopted, the changes described
above, as well as other possible changes, would likely have a significant impact on the accounting
treatment for acquisitions occurring on or after January 1, 2009.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159
expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require
assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under SFAS 159, a company may elect to use fair
value to measure
33
accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities,
equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees and issued debt. Other eligible items
include firm commitments for financial instruments that otherwise would not be recognized at
inception and non-cash warranty obligations where a warrantor is permitted to pay a third party to
provide the warranty goods or services. If the use of fair value is elected, any upfront costs and
fees related to the item must be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred, such as deferred
financing costs. The fair value election is irrevocable and generally made on an
instrument-by-instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to
measure based on fair value. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on existing items
for which fair value has been elected are reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained
earnings. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 159, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.
SFAS 159 will be effective beginning in our first quarter 2008. We are currently determining
whether fair value accounting is appropriate for any of our eligible items and cannot estimate the
impact, if any, which SFAS 159 will have on our consolidated results of operations and financial
condition.

Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words believe, expect, anticipated,
intend, estimate and similar expressions.
Investors are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may materially differ from those in
the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those
referred to above and as set forth and more fully described in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors of
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and Part II, Item 1A Risk
Factors of this report.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign currency exchange rate risk
For the six-months ended June 30, 2007, 77% of our revenues were generated in non-U.S. dollar
countries compared to 84% for the six-months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in revenues from
non-U.S. dollar countries, compared to the prior year is due primarily to the second quarter 2007
acquisition of RIA, as well as increased revenues of our U.S.-based Prepaid Processing Segment
operations. 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. We estimate that, depending on the
net foreign currency working capital position at a selected point in time, a 10% fluctuation in
these foreign currency exchange rates would have the combined annualized effect on reported net
income and working capital of up to approximately $10.0 million. This effect is estimated by
segregating revenues, expenses and working capital by currency and applying a 10% currency
depreciation and appreciation to the non-U.S. dollar amounts. 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.
We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk in our Money Transfer Segment. A
majority of the money transfer business involves 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. This spread provides some protection
against currency fluctuations that occur while we are holding the foreign currency. Our exposure to
changes in foreign currency exchange rates is limited by the fact that disbursement occurs for the
majority of transactions shortly after they are initiated. Additionally, we enter into foreign
currency forward contracts to help offset foreign currency exposure related to the notional value
of money transfer
34
transactions collected in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As of June 30, 2007, we had
foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional value of $35.5 million, primarily in
euros that were not designated as hedges and mature in a weighted average of 17 days. The fair
value of these forward contracts as of June 30, 2007 was an unrealized loss of approximately $0.1
million, which was partially offset by the unrealized gain on the related foreign currency
receivables.
Interest rate risk
In connection with completing the acquisition of RIA during the second quarter, we entered into a
$290 million secured syndicated credit facility consisting of a $190 million seven-year term loan,
which was fully drawn at closing, and a $100 million five-year revolving credit facility, which
accrue interest at variable rates. This revolving credit facility replaces our $50
million revolving credit facility. The credit facility may be expanded by up to an additional $150
million in term loan and up to an additional $25 million for the revolving line of credit, subject
to satisfaction of certain conditions including pro forma debt covenant compliance. This facility
substantially increases our interest rate risk.
As of June 30, 2007, our total outstanding debt was $568.8 million. Of this amount, approximately
$315 million, or 55% of our total debt obligations, relates to contingent convertible debentures
having fixed coupon rates. Our $175 million contingent convertible debentures, issued in October
2005, accrue interest at a rate of 3.50% per annum. The $140 million contingent convertible
debentures, issued in December 2004 accrue interest at a rate of 1.625% per annum. Based on quoted
market prices, as of June 30, 2007 the fair value of our fixed rate convertible debentures was
$330.0 million, compared to a carrying value of $315 million.
Through the use of interest rate swap agreements covering the period from June 1, 2007 to May 29,
2009, $50.0 million of our variable rate term debt has been effectively converted to a fixed rate
of 7.3%. As of June 30, 2007, the unrealized loss on the interest rate swap agreements was less
than $0.1 million. Interest expense, including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, for
our total $365.0 million in fixed rate debt totals approximately $13.7 million per year, or a
weighted average interest rate of 3.8% annually. Additionally, approximately $18.8 million, or 3%
of our total debt obligations, relate to capitalized leases with fixed payment and interest terms
that expire between 2007 and 2011.
The remaining $185.0 million, or 33% of our total debt obligations, relates to debt that accrues
interest at variable rates. If we were to maintain these borrowings for one year, and maximize the
potential borrowings available under the revolving credit facility for one year, including the
$25.0 million in potential additional expanded borrowings, a 1% increase in the applicable interest
rate would result in additional interest expense to the Company of approximately $2.7 million. This
computation excludes the $50.0 million relating to the interest rate swap discussed above and the
potential $150.0 million in potential expanded term loan because of the limited circumstances under
which the additional amounts would be available to us for borrowing.
Our excess cash is invested in instruments with original maturities of three months or less,
therefore, as investments mature and are reinvested, the amount we earn will increase or decrease
with changes in the underlying short term interest rates.

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 June 30, 2007. 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 has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the six-month
period ended June 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART IIOTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. |
|
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
The Company is from time to time a party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of its
business.
The discussion in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 11 Commitments, Litigation and
Contingencies, regarding litigation is incorporated herein by reference.
35
Currently, there are no legal proceedings that management believes, either individually or in the
aggregate, would have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated results of operations or
financial condition of the Company.
You should carefully consider the risks described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 as updated in our subsequent
filings with the SEC, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, before making an investment
decision. The risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by
any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, are not the only ones facing our company. Additional
risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also
impair our business operations.
If any of the risks identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by any subsequent
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of
operations could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our Common
Stock could decline substantially.
This Quarterly Report also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the
forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including the risks described below
and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously
disclosed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as
filed with the SEC.
Risks Related to Our Business
We may be required to prepay our obligations under the $290 million secured syndicated credit
facility.
Prepayment in full of the obligations under the $290 million secured syndicated credit facility
(the Credit Facility) may be required six months prior to any required repurchase date under our
$140 million 1.625% Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2024 or our $175 million 3.5% Convertible
Debentures Due 2025, unless we are able to demonstrate that either: (i) we could borrow
unsubordinated funded debt equal to the principal amount of the applicable convertible debentures
while remaining in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Facility or (ii) we will
have sufficient liquidity (as determined by the administrative agent and the lenders). Holders of
the $140 million 1.625% debentures have the option to require us to purchase their debentures at
par on December 15, 2009, 2014 and 2019, and upon a change in control of the Company. Holders of
the $175 million 3.50% debentures have the option to require us to purchase their debentures at par
on October 15, 2012, 2015 and 2020, or upon a change in control of the Company.
The Credit Facility contains three financial covenants that become more restrictive between now and
September 30, 2008. The financial covenants that become more restrictive are: (1) total debt to
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ratio, (2) senior secured
debt to EBITDA ratio and (3) EBITDA to fixed charge coverage ratio. Because these covenant
thresholds will become more restrictive through September 30, 2008, to remain in compliance with
our debt covenants we will be required to increase EBITDA, repay debt, or both. We cannot assure
you that we will have sufficient assets, liquidity or EBITDA to meet or avoid these obligations,
which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition.
Increases in interest rates will adversely impact our results from operations.
We have entered into interest rate swap agreements covering the period from June 1, 2007 through
May 29, 2009 for a notional amount of $50 million that effectively converts a portion of our $190
million variable rate term loan to a fixed interest rate of 7.3% per annum. For the remaining
outstanding balance of the term loan, as well as borrowings incurred under our revolving credit
facility and other variable rate borrowing arrangements, increases in variable interest rates will
increase the amount of interest expense that we pay for our borrowings and have a negative impact
on our results from operations.
If we are unable to maintain our money transfer agent network, our business may be adversely
affected.
Our money transfer based revenue is primarily generated through our agent network. Transaction
volumes at existing agent locations may increase over time and new agents provide us with
additional revenue. If agents decide to leave our network or if we are unable to sign new agents,
our revenue and profit growth rates may be adversely affected. Our agents are also subject to a
wide variety of laws and regulations that vary significantly, depending on the legal jurisdiction.
Changes in these laws and regulations could adversely affect our ability to maintain our agent
network or the cost of providing money transfer services. In addition, agents may generate fewer
transactions or less revenue due to various factors, including increased competition. Because our
agents are third parties that may sell products and provide services in addition to our money
transfer services, our agents may encounter business difficulties unrelated to the provision of our
services, which may cause the agents to reduce their number of locations or hours of operation, or
cease doing business altogether.
36
If consumer confidence in our money transfer business or brands declines, our business may be
adversely affected.
Our money transfer business relies on consumer confidence in our brands and our ability to provide
efficient and reliable money transfer services. A decline in consumer confidence in our business or
brands, or in traditional money transfer providers as a means to transfer money, may adversely
impact transaction volumes which would in turn be expected to adversely impact our business.
Our money transfer service offerings are dependent on financial institutions to provide such
offerings.
Our money transfer business involves transferring funds internationally and is dependent upon
foreign and domestic financial institutions, including our competitors, to execute funds transfers
and foreign currency transactions. Changes to existing regulations of financial institution
operations, such as those designed to combat terrorism or money laundering, could require us to
alter our operating procedures in a manner that increases our cost of doing business or to
terminate certain product offerings. In addition, as a result of existing regulations and/or
changes to those regulations, financial institutions could decide to cease providing the services
on which we depend, requiring us to terminate certain product offerings.
We are subject to the risks of liability for fraudulent bankcard and other card transactions
involving a breach in our security systems, breaches of our information security policies or
safeguards, as well as for ATM theft and vandalism.
We capture, transmit, handle and store sensitive information in conducting and managing electronic,
financial and mobile transactions, such as card information and PIN numbers. These businesses
involve certain inherent security risks, in particular the risk of electronic interception and
theft of the information for use in fraudulent or other card transactions, by persons outside the
Company or by our own employees. We incorporate industry-standard encryption technology and
processing methodology into our systems and software, and maintain controls and procedures
regarding access to our computer systems by employees and others, to maintain high levels of
security. Although this technology and methodology decrease security risks, they cannot be
eliminated entirely, as criminal elements apply increasingly sophisticated technology to attempt to
obtain unauthorized access to the information handled by ATM and electronic financial transaction
networks.
Any breach in our security systems could result in the perpetration of fraudulent financial
transactions for which we may be found liable. We are insured against various risks, including
theft and negligence, but such insurance coverage is subject to deductibles, exclusions and
limitations that may leave us bearing some or all of any losses arising from security breaches.
We also collect, transfer and retain consumer data as part of our money transfer business. These
activities are subject to certain consumer privacy laws and regulations in the U.S. and in other
jurisdictions where our money transfer services are offered. We maintain technical and operational
safeguards designed to comply with applicable legal requirements. Despite these safeguards, there
remains a risk that these safeguards could be breached resulting in improper access to, and
disclosure of, sensitive consumer information. Breaches of our security policies or applicable
legal requirements resulting in a compromise of consumer data could expose us to regulatory
enforcement action, subject us to litigation, limit our ability to provide money transfer services
and/or cause harm to our reputation.
In addition to electronic fraud issues and breaches of our information security policies and
safeguards, the possible theft and vandalism of ATMs present risks for our ATM business. We install
ATMs at high-traffic sites and consequently our ATMs are exposed to theft and vandalism. Although
we are insured against such risks, deductibles, exclusions or limitations in such insurance may
leave us bearing some or all of any losses arising from theft or vandalism of ATMs. In addition, we
have experienced increases in claims under our insurance, which has increased our insurance
premiums.
Our money transfer and prepaid mobile airtime top-up businesses may be susceptible to fraud and/or
credit risks occurring at the retailer and/or consumer level.
In our Prepaid Processing Segment, we contract with retailers that accept payment on our behalf,
which we then transfer to a trust or other operating account for payment to mobile phone operators.
In the event a retailer does not transfer to us payments that it receives for mobile airtime, we
are responsible to the mobile phone operator for the cost of the airtime credited to the customers
mobile phone. We can provide no assurance that retailer fraud will not increase in the future or
that any proceeds we receive under our credit enhancement insurance policies will be adequate to
cover losses resulting from retailer fraud, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
With respect to our money transfer business, our business is primarily conducted through our agent
network, which provides money transfer services directly to consumers at retail locations. Our
agents collect funds directly from the consumers and in turn we collect from the agents the
proceeds due us resulting from the money transfer transactions. Therefore, we have credit exposure
to our agents. The failure of agents owing us significant amounts to remit funds to us or to repay
such amounts could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to business cycles, seasonality and other outside factors that may negatively affect
our business.
37
A recessionary economic environment or other outside factors could have a negative impact on mobile
phone operators, retailers and our customers and could reduce the level of transactions, which
could, in turn, negatively impact our financial results. If mobile phone operators, financial
institutions and other money transfer customers experience decreased demand for their products and
services or if the locations where we provide services decrease in number, we will process fewer
transactions, resulting in lower revenue. In addition, a recessionary economic environment could
reduce the level of transactions taking place on our networks, which will have a negative impact on
our business.
Our experience is that the level of transactions on our networks is also subject to substantial
seasonal variation. Transaction levels have consistently been much higher in the fourth quarter of
the fiscal year due to increased use of ATMs, prepaid mobile airtime top-ups and money transfer
services during the holiday season. Generally, the level of transactions drops in the first
quarter, during which transaction levels are generally the lowest we experience during the year,
which reduces the level of revenues that we record. Additionally, in the Money Transfer Segment, we
experience increased transaction levels during the April through September timeframe coinciding
with the increase in worker migration patterns. As a result of these seasonal variations, our
quarterly operating results may fluctuate materially and could lead to volatility in the price of
our shares.
Additionally, economic or political instability, civil unrest, terrorism and natural disasters may
make money transfers to, from or within a particular country more difficult. The inability to
timely complete money transfers could adversely affect our business.
Our operating results in the money transfer business depend in part on continued worker immigration
patterns, our ability to expand our share of the existing electronic market and to expand into new
markets and our ability to continue complying with regulations issued by the Office of Foreign
Assets Control (OFAC), Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FINCEN),
PATRIOT Act regulations or any other existing or future regulations that impact any aspect of our
money transfer business.
Our money transfer business primarily focuses on workers who migrate to foreign countries in search
of employment and then send a portion of their earnings to family members in their home countries.
Our ability to continue complying with the requirements of OFAC, BSA, FINCEN, the PATRIOT Act and
other regulations (both U.S. and foreign) is important to our success in achieving growth and an
inability to do this could have an adverse impact on our revenue and earnings. Changes in U.S. and
foreign government policies or enforcement toward immigration may have a negative affect on
immigration in the U.S. and other countries, which could also have an adverse impact on our money
transfer revenues.
Future growth and profitability depend upon expansion within the markets in which we currently
operate and the development of new markets for our money transfer services through the acquisition
of RIA. Our expansion into new markets is dependent upon our ability to successfully integrate RIA
into our existing operations, to apply our existing technology or to develop new applications to
satisfy market demand. We may not have adequate financial and technological resources to expand our
distribution channels and product applications to satisfy these demands, which may have an adverse
impact on our ability to achieve expected growth in revenues and earnings.
Developments in electronic financial transactions could materially reduce our transaction levels
and revenues.
Certain developments in the field of electronic financial transactions may reduce the need for
ATMs, prepaid mobile phone POS terminals and money transfer agents. These developments may reduce
the transaction levels that we experience on our networks in the markets where they occur.
Financial institutions, retailers and agents could elect to increase fees to their customers for
using our services, which may cause a decline in the use of our services and have an adverse effect
on our revenues. If transaction levels over our existing network of ATMs, POS terminals, agents and
other distribution methods do not increase, growth in our revenues will depend primarily on
increased capital investment for new sites and developing new markets, which reduces the margin we
realize from our revenues.
The mobile phone industry is a rapidly evolving area, in which technological developments, in
particular the development of new methods or services, may affect the demand for other services in
a dramatic way. The development of any new technology that reduces the need or demand for prepaid
mobile phone time could materially and adversely affect our business.
Because our business is highly dependent on the proper operation of our computer network and
telecommunications connections, significant technical disruptions to these systems would adversely
affect our revenues and financial results.
Our business involves the operation and maintenance of a sophisticated computer network and
telecommunications connections with financial institutions, mobile operators, retailers and agents.
This, in turn, requires the maintenance of computer equipment and infrastructure, including
telecommunications and electrical systems, and the integration and enhancement of complex software
applications. Our ATM segment also uses a satellite-based system that is susceptible to the risk of
satellite failure. There are operational risks inherent in this type of business that can result in
the temporary shutdown of part or all of our processing systems, such as failure of electrical
supply, failure of computer hardware and software errors. Excluding Germany, transactions in the
EFT Processing Segment are processed through our Budapest, Belgrade, Athens, Beijing and Mumbai
operations centers. Our e-top-up transactions are processed through our Basildon, Martinsried,
Madrid and Leawood, Kansas operations centers. Transactions in our Money Transfer Segment are
processed through our Cerritos, California operations center. Any operational problem in these
centers may have a significant adverse
38
impact on the operation of our networks. Even with disaster recovery procedures in place, these
risks cannot be eliminated entirely and any technical failure that prevents operation of our
systems for a significant period of time will prevent us from processing transactions during that
period of time and will directly and adversely affect our revenues and financial results.
Our competition in the EFT Processing Segment, Prepaid Processing Segment and Money Transfer
Segment include large, well financed companies and financial institutions larger than us with
earlier entry into the market. As a result, we may lack the financial resources and access needed
to capture increased market share.
EFT Processing Segment Our principal EFT Processing competitors include ATM networks owned by
banks and national switches consisting of consortiums of local banks that provide outsourcing and
transaction services only to banks and independent ATM deployers in that country. Large,
well-financed companies offer ATM network and outsourcing services that compete with us in various
markets. In some cases, these companies also sell a broader range of card and processing services
than we, and are in some cases, willing to discount ATM services to obtain large contracts covering
a broad range of services. Competitive factors in our EFT Processing Segment include network
availability and response time, breadth of service offering, price to both the bank and to its
customers, ATM location and access to other networks.
For our ITM product line, we are a leading supplier of electronic financial transaction processing
software for the IBM iSeries platform in a largely fragmented market, which is made up of
competitors that offer a variety of solutions that compete with our products, ranging from single
applications to fully integrated electronic financial processing software. Additionally, for ITM,
other industry suppliers service the software requirements of large mainframe systems and
UNIX-based platforms, and accordingly are not considered competitors. We have specifically targeted
customers consisting of financial institutions that operate their back office systems with the IBM
iSeries. For Essentis, we are a strong supplier of electronic payment processing software for card
issuers and merchant acquirers on a mainframe platform. Our competition includes products owned and
marketed by other software companies as well as large, well financed companies that offer
outsourcing and credit card services to financial institutions. We believe our Essentis offering is
one of the few software solutions in this product area that has been developed as a completely new
system, as opposed to a re-engineered legacy system, taking full advantage of the latest technology
and business strategies available.
Our software solutions business has multiple types of competitors that compete across all EFT
software components in the following areas: (i) ATM, network and POS software systems, (ii)
Internet banking software systems, (iii) credit card software systems, (iv) mobile banking systems,
(v) mobile operator solutions, (vi) telephone banking and (vii) full EFT software. Competitive
factors in the software solutions business include price, technology development and the ability of
software systems to interact with other leading products.
Prepaid Processing Segment We face competition in the prepaid business in all of our markets. A
few multinational companies operate in several of our markets, and we therefore compete with them
in a number of countries. In other markets, our competition is from smaller, local companies. Major
retailers with high volumes are in a position to demand a larger share of the commission, which may
compress our margins.
Money Transfer Segment Our primary competitors in the money transfer and bill payment business
include other independent processors and electronic money transmitters, as well as certain major
national and regional banks, financial institutions and independent sales organizations. Our
competitors include Western Union, MoneyGram, Global Payments and others, some of which are larger
than we are and have greater resources than we have. This may allow them to offer better pricing
terms to customers, which may result in a loss of our current or potential customers or could force
us to lower our prices. Either of these actions could have an adverse impact on our revenues. In
addition, our competitors may have the ability to devote more financial and operational resources
than we can to the development of new technologies that provide improved functionality and features
to their product and service offerings. If successful, their development efforts could render our
product and services offerings less desirable, resulting in the loss of customers or a reduction in
the price we could demand for our services. In addition to traditional money payment services, new
technologies are emerging that may effectively compete with traditional money payment services,
such as stored-value cards, debit networks and web-based services. Our continued growth depends
upon our ability to compete effectively with these alternative technologies.
Because we derive our revenue from a multitude of countries with different currencies, our business
is affected by local inflation and foreign currency exchange rates and policies.
We attempt to match any assets denominated in a currency with liabilities denominated in the same
currency. Nonetheless, substantially all of our indebtedness is denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros
and British pounds. While a significant amount of our cash outflows, including the acquisition of
ATMs, executive salaries, certain long-term contracts and a significant portion of our debt
obligations, are made in U.S. dollars, most of our revenues are denominated in other currencies. As
exchange rates among the U.S. dollar, the euro, and other currencies fluctuate, the translation
effect of these fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or
financial condition as reported in U.S. dollars. Moreover, exchange rate policies have not always
allowed for the free conversion of currencies at the market rate. Future fluctuations in the value
of the dollar could have an adverse effect on our results.
Our Money Transfer Segment is subject to foreign currency exchange risks because our customers
deposit funds in one currency at our retail and agent locations worldwide and we typically deliver
funds denominated in a different, destination country currency. Although we
39
use foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate a portion of this risk, we cannot eliminate all
of the exposure to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates for the period between
collection and disbursement of the money transfers.
An additional 12.6 million shares of Common Stock, representing 26% of the shares outstanding as of
June 30, 2007, could be added to our total Common Stock outstanding through the exercise of options
or the issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock pursuant to existing convertible debt and
other agreements. Once issued, these shares of Common Stock could be traded into the market and
result in a decrease in the market price of our Common Stock.
As of June 30, 2007, we had an aggregate of 3.1 million options and restricted stock awards
outstanding held by our directors, officers and employees, which entitles these holders to acquire
an equal number of shares of our Common Stock upon exercise. Of this amount, 1.4 million options
are vested and exercisable as of June 30, 2007. Approximately 0.3 million additional shares of our
Common Stock may be issued in connection with our employee stock purchase plan. Another 8.5 million
shares of Common Stock could be issued upon conversion of the Companys Convertible Debentures
issued in December 2004 and October 2005. Additionally, based on current trading prices for our
Common Stock, we expect to issue approximately 0.7 million shares of our Common Stock to the
sellers of RIA in settlement of the contingent value and stock appreciation rights.
Accordingly, based on current trading prices of our Common Stock, approximately 12.6 million shares
could potentially be added to our total current Common Stock outstanding through the exercise of
options or the issuance of additional shares, which could adversely impact the trading price for
our stock. The actual number of shares issuable could be higher depending upon our stock price at
the time of payment (i.e. more shares could be issuable if our share price declines).
Of the 3.1 million total options and restricted stock awards outstanding, an aggregate of 1.6
million options and restricted shares are held by persons who may be deemed to be our affiliates
and who would be subject to Rule 144. Thus, upon exercise of their options or sale shares for which
restrictions have lapsed, these affiliates shares would be subject to the trading restrictions
imposed by Rule 144. The remainder of the common shares issuable under option and restricted stock
arrangements would be freely tradable in the public market. Over the course of time, all of the
issued shares have the potential to be publicly traded, perhaps in large blocks.
