Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the records of the Company, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, such unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial position and the results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the interim periods. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with theour audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 20202021, including the notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s 2020our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include computing income taxes, estimating the useful lives and potential impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, as well as allocating the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions and revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021.

2022.
Seasonality

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

(2)(2) RECENTLY ISSUED AND ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-06, "Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity" which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating certain accounting models when the conversion features are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in-capital. Under this ASU, certain debt instruments with embedded conversion features will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. Additionally, this ASU eliminates the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluatingWe adopted this standard on January 1, 2022 using the impactmodified retrospective approach, which resulted in our Convertible Senior Notes Due 2049 being recognized as a single liability. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06this standard, we recorded a $99.7 million decrease to additional paid-in capital, a $56.8 million decrease in debt discounts and a $42.9 million increase in retained earnings. The adoption of this standard also impacted our deferred tax liability by decreasing our deferred tax liability by $15.0 million, decreasing retained earnings by $10.6 million, and increasing additional paid-in capital by $25.6 million. Additionally, the elimination of the treasury stock method will have onincrease the consolidated financial statements.number of dilutive shares used in the diluted earnings per share calculation, if dilutive, by 2.8 million shares. 

(3) PENDING ACQUISITIONACQUISITIONS


InOn March 2021,15, 2022 we completed the Company entered into an agreement to purchaseacquisition of the Piraeus Bank Merchant Acquiring businessBusiness of Piraeus Bank for €300 million, or approximately $360 million.("PBMA").

Additionally, the acquisition includes a long-term strategic partnership withcommercial framework agreement between Piraeus Bank forand Euronet which includes collaborative product distribution, processing and customer referrals. 

The acquisition will expandpurchase price was €313.8 million, or approximately $346.2 million, which includes $331 million cash paid at closing plus $15.2 million of estimated contingent consideration for a ten-year earnout contingent on performance targets outlined in the Company’s omnichannel payments strategy and positioncommercial framework agreement. The contingent consideration is related to a percentage of the Company in Greece’s growing market for merchant acquiring services. The closing is targeted for late 2021 and is subject to regulatory approvals, finalizationnet fee income received during the ten-year period of the commercial agreements,framework agreement and customary closing conditions. there is no contractual maximum amount of consideration under this agreement.

The Company expects to finance theinitial accounting for this acquisition is not complete as of September 30, 2022. The purchase price usingwas preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their respective provisional fair values at the date of acquisition. Additional time is needed to refine and review the results of the valuation of assets and liabilities. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the results of operations have been included from the date of acquisition in the EFT Processing Segment.

Assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration transferred were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The fair value measurements of intangible assets were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 inputs include discount rates that would be used by a market participant in valuing these assets, projections of revenues and cash flows, and customer attrition rates, among others.    

We acquired a customer relationship intangible asset with a preliminary fair value of $112.2 million that is being amortized on hand.a straight-line basis over 15 years and a contract related intangible asset of $10.3 million that is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years.


Goodwill, with a preliminary value of $212.2 million, arising from the acquisition was included in the EFT Processing Segment. The factors that make up goodwill include synergies from combining PBMA operations and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill and intangible assets associated with this acquisition are deductible for tax purposes.

The results of PBMA operations are included in our consolidated results of operation, as part of our EFT Processing business segment, beginning on March 16, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, PBMA had $32.6 million and $63.8 million in revenue. The PBMA business is impacted by higher transaction volumes during the tourism season in the second and third quarters. 

(4) SETTLEMENT ASSETS AND OBLIGATIONS


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


9


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

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

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

The table includes all stock options and restricted stock that are dilutive to the Company'sour weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share excludes stock options or shares of restricted stock that are anti-dilutive to the Company’sour weighted average common shares outstanding of approximately 3,308,000 and 2,849,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 770,000 and 751,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 respectively, and approximately 1,122,000 and 1,887,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
, respectively. 

The CompanyWe issued Convertible Senior Notes ("Convertible Notes") due March 2049 on March 18, 2019. The Company'sOur Convertible Notes currently have a settlement feature requiring the Companyus upon conversion to settle the principal amount of the debt and any conversion value in excess of the principal value ("conversion premium"), for cash or shares of the Company'sour common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company'sour option. The Company hasWe have stated itsour intent to settle any conversion of these notes by paying cash for the principal value and issuing common stock for any conversion premium. Accordingly,premium; however, after adopting ASU 2020-06, 2.8 million incremental shares assumed for conversion of convertible notes shall be included in the dilutive earnings per share calculation, if dilutive, regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. Therefore, our Convertible Notes were included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share if their inclusion was dilutive. The dilutive effect increases the more the market price exceeds the conversion price. The Convertible Notes would only have a dilutive effect if the market price per share of common stock exceeds the conversion price of $188.73 $188.73 per share. The market price per share of common stock was $127.28 on September 30, 2021 and $91.10 on September 30, 2020, therefore, according to ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”), there was no dilutive effect of the assumed conversion of the debentures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

(10) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

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

Foreign Currency Exchange Contractscurrency exchange contracts - Ria Operations and Corporate

In the United States, the Company uses short-duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities up to 14 days, to offset the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates on the collection of money transfer funds between initiation of a transaction and its settlement. Due to the short duration of these contracts and the Company’s credit profile, the Company is generally not required to post collateral with respect to these foreign currency forward contracts. Most derivative contracts executed with counterparties in the U.S. are governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreement that includes standard netting arrangements; therefore, asset and liability positions from forward contracts and all other foreign exchange transactions with the same counterparty are net settled upon maturity. The Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding in the U.S. with a notional value of $275415.8 million and $246$222.1 million as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. The foreign currency forward contracts consist primarily in Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds sterling, euro and Mexican pesos.


In addition, the Company uses forward contracts, typically with maturities from a few days to less than one year, to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain short-term borrowings that are payable in currencies other than the U.S dollar. The Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional value of $467.4 million and $454$216.1 million as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, primarily in euro.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contractscurrency exchange contracts - xe Operations

xe writes derivative instruments, primarily foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps, mostly with counterparties comprised of individuals and small-to-medium size businesses and derives a currency margin from this activity as part of its operations. xe aggregates its foreign currency exposures arising from customer contracts and hedges the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties. Foreign exchange revenues from xe's total portfolio of positions were $22.3 $20.1 million and $66.5 $58.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022, respectively, and $14.4compared to $20.1 million and $45.7$58.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,the same periods in 2021, respectively. All of the derivative contracts used in the Company's xe operations are economic hedges and are not designated as hedges under ASC 815The duration of these derivative contracts is generally less than one year.

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


The aggregate equivalent U.S. dollar notional amount of foreign currency derivative customer contracts held by the Company in its xe operations was approximately $1.0 billion as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020 was approximately $1.1 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively.2021. The significant majority of customer contracts are written in major currencies such as the euro, U.S. dollar, British pounds sterling, Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar.

(11) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS


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

  • Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

  • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing.

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

(15) LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES


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


(16(16) LEASES

 

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

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

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

OVERVIEW

COMPANY OVERVIEW, GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS AND PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Euronet is a leading electronic payments provider. We offer payment and transaction processing and distribution solutions to financial institutions, retailers, service providers and individual consumers. Our primary product offerings include comprehensive Automated Teller Machine ("ATM"), point-of-sale ("POS"),ATM, POS, card outsourcing, card issuing and merchant acquiring services, software solutions, electronic distribution of prepaid mobile airtime, managed services and other electronic payment products, foreign currency exchange services and global money transfer services. We operate in the following three segments:




We have six processing centers in Europe, five in Asia Pacific and two in North America. We have 36 principal offices in Europe, 14 in Asia Pacific, 10 in North America, three in the Middle East, two in South America and one in Africa. Our executive offices are located in Leawood, Kansas, USA. With approximately 73% 75% of our revenues denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, any significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates will likely have a significant impact on our results of operations (for(for a further discussion, see Item 1A1A - Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020)2021).


SOURCES OF REVENUES AND CASH FLOW

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

EFT Processing Segment — Revenues in the EFT Processing Segment, which represented approximately 28%34% and 20%29% of total consolidated revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, respectively, are derived from fees charged for transactions made by cardholders on our proprietary network of ATMs, fixed management fees and transaction fees we charge to customers for operating ATMs and processing debit and credit cards under outsourcing and cross-border acquiring agreements, foreign currency exchange margin on DCC transactions, domestic and international surcharge, foreign currency dispensing and other value added services such as advertising, prepaid telecommunication recharges, bill payment, and money transfers provided over ATMs. Revenues in this segment are also derived from cardless payment, banknote recycling, tax refund services, license fees, professional services and maintenance fees for proprietary application software and sales of related hardware.


2325


epay Segment
 — Revenues in the epay Segment, which represented approximately 29%27% and 33%29% of total consolidated revenues for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021,2022, respectively,aarere primarily derived from commissions earned from the distribution of electronic content, vouchers, and physical gifts and commissions or processing fees receivedreceived from mobile phone operators for the processing and distribution of prepaid mobile airtime and commissions earned fromairtime. Branded payments, which includes the distribution of other electronicdigital media content, vouchers,were 69% and physical gifts. The proportion 66% of epay Segment revenues earned fromfor the distribution of prepaid mobile phone time compared with other electronic products has decreased over time,three and digital media content now produces approximately 67%nine of epay Segment revenues. Other electronic content offered by this segment includesmonths ended September 30, 2022. Branded payments include digital content such as music, games and software, as well as, other products including mobile wallets, prepaid long distance calling card plans, prepaid Internet plans, prepaid debit cards, gift cards, vouchers, transport payments, lottery payments, bill payment, and money transfer.

Money Transfer Segment — Revenues in the Money Transfer Segment, which represented approximately 43%39% and 47%43% of total consolidated revenues for the three and nine months endedSeptember September 30, 2021, respectively, a2022re, are primarily derived from transaction fees, as well as the margin earned from purchasing foreign currency at wholesale exchange rates and selling the foreign currency to customers at retail exchange rates. We have a sending agent network in place comprised of agents, customer service representatives, Company-owned stores, primarily in North America, Europe and Malaysia, and Ria, IME and xe branded websites, along with a worldwide network of correspondent agents, consisting primarily of financial institutions in the transfer destination countries. Sending and correspondent agents each earn fees for cash collection and distribution services, which are recognized as direct operating costs at the time of sale.

We offer a money transfer product called Walmart-2-Walmart Money Transfer Service which allows customers to transfer money to and from Walmart stores in the U.S. Our Ria business executes the transfers with Walmart serving as both the sending agent and payout correspondent. Ria earns a lower margin from these transactions than its traditional money transfers; however, the arrangement has added a significant number of transactions to Ria's business. The agreement with Walmart establishes Ria as the only party through which Walmart will sell U.S. domestic money transfers branded with Walmart marks. The agreement is effective until April 2023.2026. Thereafter, it will automatically renew for subsequent one year-year terms unless either party provides notice to the contrary. The agreement imposes certain obligations on each party, the most significant being service level requirements by Ria and money transfer compliance requirements by Walmart. Any violation of these requirements by Ria could result in an obligation to indemnify Walmart or termination of the contract by Walmart. However, the agreement allows the parties to resolve disputes by mutual agreement without termination of the agreement.


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

Opportunities and Challenges

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

2426

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


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


COVID-19

The outbreak of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has resulted in varying degrees of border and business closures, travel restrictions and other social distancing orders in most of the countries where we operate during the three and nine months ended September 30,September 30, 2021 2022 and 20202021. These types of orders were first put into effect in late February 2020 or early March 2020. As the number and rate of new cases has fluctuated in various locations around the global,globe, the closures, restrictions and other social distancing orders have been modified, rescinded and/or re-imposed. Although vaccines for COVID-19 are widely available, in the U.S. and the European Union, their availability is still limited in many partsa significant portion of the world where we operate. In addition, the rate of acceptancepopulation remains unvaccinated and long term effectiveness of the vaccines, especially against new variants, areis still unknown. The EFT Segment has experienced declines in certain transaction volumes due to these restrictions, especially high-margin cross-border transactions. The epay Segment has experienced the impacts of consumer movement restrictions in certain markets, while other markets have been positively impacted where we have a higher mix of digital distribution or a higher concentration of retailers that are deemed essential and have remained open during the pandemic. The Money Transfer Segment continues to be impacted by the pandemic-related restrictions in certain markets that limit customers' ability to access our network of company-owned stores and agents. 
agents as well as certain restrictions that may impact immigrant laborers.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic driven impacts, we implemented several key measures to offset the impact across the business, including re-negotiating certain third party contracts, reducing travel, decreasing capital expenditures, and increasing the number of seasonal ATM deactivations (placing them in dormancy status, terminating, or re-negotiating) in more sites and more markets.

Impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates 


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

26

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

Revenues

EFT Processing Segment total revenues were $227.1$319.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021,2022, an increase of $83.1$92.3 million or 58%41% compared to the same period in 2020.2021. EFT Processing Segment total revenues were $427.7$714.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, an increase of $59.3$286.4 million or 16%67%. The increase in revenues was primarily due to the increase in domestic and international cash withdrawal transactions resulting from the reduction of travel restrictions across Europe, the increase in low-value point-of-sale transactions in Europe and low-value payment processing transactions in Asia Pacific. Foreign currency movements decreased revenues by approximately $48.6 million and $85.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same period in 2020.2021. 
Beginning in the late first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 related government-imposed border and business closures, travel restrictions and other orders significantly reduced tourism throughout Europe, which led to a significant decrease in high-margin cross-border transactions (DCC) and surcharge transactions from March through September of 2020. During 2021, we began increasing our estate of active ATMs as certain countries began easing COVID-19 restrictions; however, remaining cross-border travel patterns prevented our volume of DCC and surcharge transactions from returning to pre-COVID-19 levels. Revenues increased for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to the reactivation of ATMs and increase in high-margin cross-border transaction volumes during 2021. Revenues increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 as cross-border travel and corresponding DCC and surcharge revenues increased, partially offset by the nine months ended September 30, 2020 including two months of pre-COVID-19 level DCC and surcharge transaction volumes compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 which had various levels of restrictions throughout the entire nine month period. Foreign currency movements increased revenues by approximately $1.7 million and $12.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020.  

Average monthly revenues per ATM increased to $1,660$2,112 for the three months ended September 30, 20212022 compared to $1,085$1,660 for the same period in 2020.2021. Average monthly revenues per ATM increased to $1,162$2,501 for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 compared to $949$1,162 for the same period in 2020. 2021Revenues per transaction increaseddecreased to $0.19$0.18 for the three monthsmonths ended September 30, 20212022 compared to $0.16$0.19 for the same period in 2020.2021.

For the three months ended 2021.September 30, 2021, the increase The increases in average monthly revenues per ATM and revenues per transaction were attributable to the easing of COVID-19 restrictions throughout Europe and corresponding increase in cross-border DCC and surcharge transactions, partially offset by a shift in the mix of our transaction volume as we experienced a significant increase in the volume of lower revenue transactions (processing bank wallet transactions and payments for e-commerce sites) primarily in our Asia Pacific region. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the average monthly revenues per ATM increasedwas primarily due to the lower average ATM count as we modified our estateincrease in domestic and international cash withdrawal transactions resulting from the reduction in travel restrictions across Europe, partially offset by the increase in volume of ATMs beginninglow-value point-of-sale transactions in the second quarter of 2020,Europe and revenues per transaction decreased due to the effect of lower DCC and surcharge revenues during January and February of 2021 compared to January and February 2020 prior to COVID-19's initial emergence as well  as a shiftlow-value payment processing transactions in the mix of our transaction volume.Asia Pacific.

Foreign currency exchange loss, net

Foreign currency exchange activity includes gains and losses on certain foreign currency exchange derivative contracts and the impact of remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the local currency of each of our subsidiaries give rise to foreign currency exchange gains and losses. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses that result from remeasurement of these assets and liabilities are recorded in net income. The majority of our foreign currency exchange gains or losses are due to the remeasurement of intercompany loans which are not considered a long-term investment in nature and are in a currency other than the functional currency of one of the parties to the loan. For example, we make intercompany loans based in euros from our corporate division, which is composed of U.S. dollar functional currency entities, to certain European entities that use the euro as the functional currency. As the U.S. dollar strengthens against the euro, foreign currency exchange losses are recognized by our corporate entities because the number of euros to be received in settlement of the loans decreases in U.S. dollar terms. Conversely, in this example, in periods where the U.S. dollar weakens, our corporate entities will record foreign currency exchange gains.

We recorded net foreign currency exchange losses of $15.8 million and $36.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to a net foreign currency exchange losslosses of $8.1 million and $12.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to a net foreign currency exchange loss of $1.4 million and $17.7 million for the same periods in 2020,2021, respectively. These realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange losses reflect the fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar against the currencies of the countries in which we operated during the respective periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Working capital

As of September 30, 2021,2022, we had working capital of $1,395.5$1,075.4 million, which is calculated as the difference between total current assets and total current liabilities, compared to working capital of $1,510.5$1,455.8 million as of December 31, 2020.2021. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the $217.2$331.0 million decreaseacquisition of PBMA and the $175.0 million of share repurchases, partially offset by a $42.9 million increase in the outstanding balanceborrowing on the Credit Facility during the nine months endedas of September 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 partially offset by a $35.0 million increase in trade accounts receivable and a $34.7 million decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.. Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.851.50 and 1.81 1.79 at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021, respectively.

We require substantial working capital to finance operations. The Money Transfer Segment funds the payout of the majority of our consumer-to-consumer money transfer services before receiving the benefit of amounts collected from customers by agents. Working capital needs increase due to weekends and banking holidays. As a result, we may report more or less working capital for the Money Transfer Segment based solely upon the day on which the reporting period ends. The epay Segment produces positive working capital, some of which is restricted in connection with the administration of its customer collection and vendor remittance activities. In our EFT Processing Segment, we obtain a significant portion of the cash required to operate our ATMs through various cash supply arrangements, the amount of which is not recorded on Euronet's Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, in certain countries, we fund the cash required to operate our ATM network from borrowings under theour revolving credit facilities, uncommitted credit agreements and cash flows from operations. As of September 30, 2021,2022, we had $669.7$646.1 million of our own cash in use or designated for use in our ATM network, which is recorded in ATM cash on Euronet's Consolidated Balance Sheet. ATM cash increased $258.6$102.7 million from $411.1$543.4 million as of December 31, 20202021 to $669.7$646.1 million as of September 30, 2021 2022 as a result of the increase in the number of active ATMs as of September 30, 20212022 compared to December 31, 2020.

million. At current and projected cash flow levels, we anticipate that cash generated from operations, together with cash on hand and amounts available under our Credit Facility and other existing and potential future financing will be sufficient to meet our debt, leasing, and capital expenditure obligations. If our capital resources are not sufficient to meet these obligations, we will seek to refinance our debt and/or issue additional equity under terms acceptable to us. However, we can offer no assurances that we will be able to obtain favorable terms for the refinancing of any of our debt or other obligations or for the issuance of additional equity.

Inflation and functional currencies

Therefore, the local currency in each of these markets is the functional currency. Currently, we do not believe We have seen indications that inflationthe current inflationary period will have a significant effectput pressure on our results of operations orand our financial position. We have seen some signs of inflation impacting discretionary spend items, such as gaming products, in our epay business as well as some pressure on send amounts in money transfer.  As a consequence of this inflationary period, we expect to see increasing expenses forthcoming. We continually review inflation and the functional currency in each of the countries where we operate.

Interest rate risk

As ofSeptember 30, 20212022, our total debt outstanding, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was $1,213.3 million.$1,743.3 million. Of this amount, $464.2$525.0 million, net of debt discounts, or 38%30% of our total debt obligations, relates to our contingent Convertible Notes that have a fixed coupon rate. Our $525.0 million outstanding principal amount of Convertible Notes accrue cash interest at a rate of 0.75% of the principal amount per annum. Based on quoted market prices, as of September 30, 2021,2022, the fair value of our fixed rate Convertible Notes was $603.1$513.6 million, compared to a carrying value of $464.2 million. Interest expense for the Convertible Notes, including accretion and amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, has a weighted average interest rate of 4.4%$525.0 million annually.. Further, as of September 30, 20212022 we had $53.2$326.3 million of borrowings under our Credit Facility, or 4%19% of our total debt obligations, under ourobligations. The carrying values of the Credit Facility.Facility approximates fair value because interest as of September 30, 2022, was based on LIBOR that reset at various intervals of less than one year. Additionally, $694.9$588.4 million, or 57%34% of our total debt obligations, relates to Senior Notes having a fixed coupon rate. Our €600 million outstanding principal amount of Senior Notes accrue cash interest at a rate of 1.375% of the principal amount per annum. Based on quoted market prices, as of September 30, 2021,2022, the fair value of our fixed rate Senior Notes was $710.3$550.0 million, compared to a carrying value of $694.9$588.4 million. An additional $300.0 million, or 17% of our total debt, is related to short-term uncommitted credit agreements. The credit agreements are due within one year and accrue interest at variable rates. The remaining $1.1$3.6 million, or less than 1%1% of our total debt obligations, is related to borrowings by certain subsidiaries to fund, from time to time, working capital requirements. These arrangements generally are due within one year and accrue interest at variable rates.
Based on the outstanding borrowings accruing interest at variable rates, a 1% increase in the interest rate would result in a $6.3 million increase or decrease, as applicable, in our annual interest expense.

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

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, approximately 73%74.1% of our revenues were generated in non-U.S. dollar countries and we expect to continue generating a significant portion of our revenues in countries with currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

We are particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in exchange rates of the U.S. dollar to the currencies of countries in which we have significant operations, primarily the euro, British pound, Australian dollar, Polish zloty, Indian rupee, New Zealand dollar, Malaysian ringgit and Hungarian forint. As of 
September 30, 2021,2022, we estimate that a 10% fluctuation in these foreign currencycurrency exchange rates would have the combined annualized effect on reported net income and working capital of approximately $155$185 million to $160$190 million. This effect is estimated by applying a 10% adjustment factor to our non-U.S. dollar results from operations, intercompany loans that generate foreign currency gains or losses and working capital balances that require translation from the respective functional currency to the U.S. dollar reporting currency.


Additionally, we have other non-current, non-U.S. dollar assets and liabilities on our balance sheet that are translated to the U.S. dollar during consolidation. These items primarily represent goodwill and intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions in countries other than the U.S. and our Senior Notes. As of September 30, 2021, weWe estimate that a 10% fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates would have a non-cash impact on total comprehensive income of approximately 
$115$50 million to $120$55 million as a result of the change in value of these items during translation to the U.S. dollar. For the fluctuations described above, a strengthening U.S. dollar produces a financial loss, while a weakening U.S. dollar produces a financial gain.

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

We use derivatives to minimize our exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and to facilitate foreign currency risk management services by writing derivatives to customers. Derivatives are used to manage the overall market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rates; however, we do not perform the extensive record-keeping required to account for the derivative transactions as hedges. Due to the relatively short duration of the derivative contracts, we use the derivatives primarily as economic hedges. Since we do not designate foreign currency derivatives as hedging instruments pursuant to the accounting standards, we record gains and losses on foreign exchange derivatives in earnings in the period of change.
We manage counterparty credit risk (the risk that counterparties will default and not make payments according to the terms of the agreements) on an individual counterparty basis. We mitigate this risk by entering into contracts with collateral posting requirements and/or by performing financial assessments prior to contract execution, conducting periodic evaluations of counterparty performance and maintaining a diverse portfolio of qualified counterparties. We do not expect any significant losses from counterparty defaults.

A majority of our consumer-to-consumer money transfer operations involve receiving and disbursing different currencies, in which we earnearn a foreign currency spread based on the difference between buying currency at wholesale exchange rates and selling the currency to consumers at retail exchange rates. We enter into foreign currency forward and cross-currency swap contracts to minimize exposure related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The changes in fair value related to these contracts are recorded in Foreign currency exchange (loss) gain, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.Income. As of September 30, 2021,2022, we had foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding with a notional value of $275$415.8 million, primarily in Australian dollars, British pounds, Canadian dollars, euros and Mexican pesos, that were not designated as hedges and mature within a few days.

For derivative instruments our xe operations write to customers, we aggregate the foreign currency exposure arising from customer contracts, and hedge the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties as part of a broader foreign currency portfolio. The changes in fair value related to the total portfolio of positions are recorded in Revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.Income. As of September 30, 2021,2022, we held foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding with a notional value of $1.1 billion$1,041.8 million, primarily in U.S. dollars, euros, British pounds, Australian dollars and New Zealand dollars, that were not designated as hedges and for which the majority mature within the next twelve months.

We use longer-term foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates on certain foreign currency denominated other asset and liability positions. As of September 30, 2021, the Company2022, we had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional value of $46$7.4 million, primarily in euros.

See Note 10, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

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 September 30, 20212022. 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.
On March 15, 2022, we completed the acquisition of the Merchant Acquiring Business of Piraeus Bank ("PBMA"). We are currently integrating PBMA into our operations and internal control processes and, pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission staff interpretive guidance, the assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of an assessment for a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition. The scope of our assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting as of September 30, 2022 does not include PBMA.

Change in Internal Controls

There
Except for internal controls related to integration activities associated with our acquisition of PBMA, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 20212022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

The discussion regarding contingencies in Part I, Item 1 — Financial Statements (unaudited), Note 15, Litigation and Contingencies, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report is incorporated herein by reference.

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