EURONET WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) GENERAL
Organization
Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (the "Company", or "Euronet", "we" and "us") was established as a Delaware corporation on December 13, 1996 and succeeded Euronet Holding N.V. as the group holding company, which was founded and established in 1994. Euronet is a leading electronic payments provider. Euronet offers payment and transaction processing and distribution solutions to financial institutions, retailers, service providers and individual consumers. Euronet's primary product offerings include comprehensive ATM, POS, card outsourcing, card issuing and merchant acquiring services, electronic distribution of prepaid mobile airtime and other electronic payment products, and international payment services.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the records of the Company, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, such unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial position and the results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the interim periods. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with ourthe Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20212022, including the notes thereto, set forth in our 2021the Company's 2022 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, 2022.2023.
Seasonality

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

(2) RECENTLY ISSUED 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. WeThe Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach, which resulted in ourthe Company's Convertible Senior Notes Due 2049 being recognized as a single liability. As a result of the adoption of this standard, wethe Company 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 ourthe Company's deferred tax liability by decreasing ourthe Company's 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 increaseincreased the number of dilutive shares used in the diluted earnings per share calculation, if dilutive, by 2.8 million shares. 

 

(3) ACQUISITIONS

 

In accordance with ASC 805, the Company allocates the purchase price of its acquisitions to the tangible assets, liabilities and intangible assets acquired based on 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 large acquisitions, management engages an appraiser to assist in the valuation process. 

On March 15, 2022, wethe Company completed the acquisition of the Merchant Acquiring Business of Piraeus Bank ("PBMA"). The acquisition includes 205,000 POS terminals at 170,000 merchants throughout Greece, as well as Piraeus Bank’s online merchant acquiring business and expands ourEuronet’s omnichannel payments strategy where we use ourthe Company uses its proprietary technology to provide cash, card-based acquiring solutions, alternative payment acquiring, online acquiring, tokenized payment services and other payment products. Additionally, the acquisition includes a long-term commercial framework agreement between Piraeus Bank and Euronet which includes collaborative product distribution, processing and customer referrals. 

The purchase price was €313.8€317.8 million, or approximately $346.2$350.6 million, which includes $331 million cash paid at closing, plus$4.4 million cash paid for surplus working capital and $15.2 million of estimated contingent consideration for a ten-yearearnout earn out contingent on performance targets outlined in the commercial framework agreement. The contingent consideration is related to a percentage of the net fee income received during the ten-year period of the commercial framework agreement and there is no contractual maximum amount of consideration under this agreement.

The initial accounting for this acquisition is not complete as of September 30, 2022. The purchase price was 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. 


The following table presents the final fair value that was allocated to PBMA's Euronet Merchant Services' (EMS) assets and liabilities based upon fair values as determined by the Company. The valuation process to determine the fair values is complete. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company made measurement period adjustments to reflect facts and circumstances in existence as of the effective time of the acquisition. These adjustments primarily included an adjustment to the accrued expenses and other current liabilities related to the surplus working capital of $4.4 million and some other immaterial adjustments.

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.    

WeThe Company acquired a customer relationship intangible asset with a preliminary fair value of $112.2 million that is being amortized on 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$212.7 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 ourthe Company's consolidated results of operation, as part of ourthe EFT Processing business segment, beginning on March 16, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30,period beginning on the acquisition date through December 31, 2022, PBMA had $32.6 million and $63.8$88.8 million in revenue.PBMA had $23.6 million in revenue in the first quarter 2023. 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. We recordThe Company records corresponding settlement obligations relating to accounts payable. Settlement assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other current assets. The settlement cash held at the Company is primarily generated from the monies remitted by consumers through Company agents and financial institutions in payment of the face value of the payment service or foreign currency purchased and the related fees charged to purchase the currency. We use ourThe Company uses its cash and cash equivalents to pay the face value of the payment service product upon presentation by the recipient. Cash received by Company agents and merchants generally becomes available to us within two weeks after initial receipt by the business partner. Receivables from business partners represent funds collected by such business partners that are in transit to us.  


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 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 ourthe Company’s common stock, assumed vesting of restricted stock units and the assumed conversion of ourthe Company’s convertible debt, if such conversion would be dilutive.

The table includes all stock options and restricted stock units that are dilutive to ourthe Company's weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share excludes stock options or shares of restricted stock units that are anti-dilutive to ourthe Company's weighted average common shares outstanding of approximately 3,308,0002.3 million and 2.22,849,000 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 770,000 and2022, respectively 751,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.. 

WeEuronet issued Convertible Senior Notes ("Convertible Notes") due March 2049 on March 18, 2019. OurThe Convertible Notes currently have a settlement feature requiring us upon conversion to settle the principal amount of the debt and any conversion value in excess of the principal value ("conversion premium"), for cash or shares of ourEuronet's common stock or a combination thereof, at ourthe Company's option. We haveThe Company has stated ourits intent to settle any conversion of these notes by paying cash for the principal value and issuing common stock for any conversion premium; however, after adopting ASU 2020-06, 2.8 million incremental shares assumed for conversion of convertible notes shallis required to be included in the dilutive earnings per share calculation, if dilutive, regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. Therefore, ourthe 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 of $188.73 per share. See Note 9, Debt Obligations, to the consolidated financial statements for more information about the Convertible Notes.

Share repurchases

On February 26, 2020, weDecember 8, 2021, the Company put a repurchase program in place to repurchase up to $250 million in value, but not more than 5.0 million shares of common stock through February 28, 2022. On December 8, 2021, we put a repurchase program in place to repurchase up to $300 million in value, but not more than 5.0 million shares of common stock through December 8, 2023. On September 13, 2022, the Company put a repurchase program in place to repurchase up to $350 million in value, but not more than 7.0 million shares of common stock through September 13, 2024. Under the repurchase programs we repurchased $028.3 million and $175.0$70.4 million of stock, for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022,, respectively. Repurchases under the current program may take place in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including derivative transactions, and may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan.

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

The Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants, including (all as defined in the Credit Facility): (i) a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, depending on certain circumstances defined in the Credit Facility, not to exceed a range between 3.5 to 1.0 and 4.5 to 1.0; and (ii) a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 3.0 to 1.0. Subject to meeting certain customary covenants (as defined in the Credit Facility), the Company is permitted to repurchase common stock and debt.  The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

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

ASC 470-20-35-13 required the debt discountConvertible Notes to be amortized overredeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the period the convertible debt was expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expense. The allocation resulted in an increase to additional paid-in capital of $99.7 millionredemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes. In addition, if a fundamental change, as defined in the Indenture, occurs prior to the maturity date, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.As of March 31, 2023 the conversion threshold was not met. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted 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.  ASU 2020-06 amended the accounting for convertible instruments with ASC Topic 470 Debt. Contractual interest expense for the Convertible Notes was $4.0$1.0 million and $9.0 million for the threequarters ended March 31, 2022 and nine months ended September 30, 2022 2023, , respectively.

(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 815, primarily due to either the relatively short duration of the contract term or the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates are reflected concurrently in earnings for both the derivative instrument and the transaction and have an offsetting effect. 

Foreign currency exchange contracts - Ria Operations and Corporate

In the United States, the Company uses short-duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities up to 14 days, to offset the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates on the collection of money transfer funds between initiation of a transaction and its settlement. Due to the short duration of these contracts and the Company’s credit profile, the Company is generally not required to post collateral with respect to these foreign currency forward contracts. Most derivative contracts executed with counterparties in the U.S. are governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreement that includes standard netting arrangements; therefore, asset and liability positions from forward contracts and all other foreign exchange transactions with the same counterparty are net settled upon maturity. The Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding in the U.S. with a notional value of $415.8397.0 million and $222.1$398.6 million as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, 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 $7.4271.2 million and $216.1$228.4 million as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively, primarily in euro.

Foreign currency exchange contracts - xe Operations

 

xe writes derivative instruments, primarily foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps, mostly with counterparties comprised of individuals and small-to-medium size businesses and derives a currency margin from this activity as part of its operations. xe aggregates its foreign currency exposures arising from customer contracts and hedges the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties. Foreign exchange revenues from xe's total portfolio of positions were $22.3 $20.1 million and $66.5 $22.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022,, respectively, compared to $20.1 million and $58.5 million for 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 815. The duration of these derivative contracts is generally less than one year.
  
The fair value of xe's total portfolio of positions can change significantly from period to period based on, among other factors, market movements and changes in customer contract positions. xe manages counterparty credit risk (the risk that counterparties will default and not make payments according to the terms of the agreements) on an individual counterparty basis. It mitigates this risk by entering 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, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021.2022. 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.

Other Fair Value Disclosures
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and short-term debt obligations approximate fair values due to their short maturities. The carrying values of the Company’s revolving credit agreements approximate fair values because interest as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was based on LIBORSOFR that resetresets at various intervals of less than one year. The Company estimates the fair value of the Convertible Notes and Senior Notes using quoted prices in inactive markets for identical liabilities (Level 2). As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the fair values of the Convertible Notes and Senior Notes were $503.9$539.9 million and $503.7$583.2 million,, respectively, with carrying values of $525.0$525.0 million and $588.4$650.3 million,, respectively.

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

We have a sending agent network in place comprised of agents, customer service representatives, Company-owned stores, primarily in North America, Europeour websites and Malaysia, and Ria, and xe branded websites,mobile applications, 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 2026. Thereafter, it will automatically renew for subsequent one-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 global product markets in which we operate are large and fragmented, which poses both opportunities and challenges for our technology to disrupt new and existing competition. As an organization, our focus is on increasing our market presence through both physical (ATMs, POS terminals, company stores and agent correspondents) and digital assets and providing new and improved products and services for customers through all of our channels, which may in turn drive an increase in the number of transactions on our networks. Each of these opportunities also presents us with challenges, including differentiating our portfolio of products and services in highly competitive markets, the successful development and implementation of our software products and access to financing for expansion.

1) The EFT Processing Segment opportunities include physical expansion into target markets, developing value addedvalue-added products or services, increasing high value DCC and surcharge transactions and efficiently leveraging our portfolio of software solutions. Our opportunities are dependent on renewing and expanding our card acceptance, ATM, POS and POS management and outsourcing,merchant acquiring services, cash supply and other commercial agreements with customers and financial institutions. Operational challenges in the EFT Processing Segment include obtaining and maintaining the required licenses and sponsorship agreements in markets in which we operate and navigating frequently changing rules imposed by international card organizations, such as Visa® and Mastercard®, that govern ATM interchange fees, direct access fees and other restrictions. Our profitability is dependent on the laws and regulations that govern DCC transactions, specifically in the E.U., as well as the laws and regulations of each country in which we operate. These laws and regulations may impact our cross-border and cross-currency transactions. The timing and amount of revenues in the EFT Processing Segment is uncertain and unpredictable due to inherent limitations in managing our estate of ATMs. Our ATM estate is dependent on contracts that cover large numbers of ATMs, and management is complicated by legal and regulatory considerations of local countries, as well as customers decisions whether to outsource ATMs or manage them internally.The EFT Segment is also dependent to a large degree on consumer travel patterns over which we have no control.  Although international travel is returning to pre-pandemic levels in many parts of the globe, the war in Ukraine and related sanctions on Russia are negatively affecting the number of individuals traveling to and from Ukraine and the countries that border Ukraine and the number of Russian tourists in many locations where we have ATMs.

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

 

3) The Money Transfer Segment opportunities include expanding our portfolio of products and services to new and existing customers around the globe, which in turn may lead to an increase in transaction volumes. The opportunities to expand are contingent on our ability to effectively leverage our network of bank accounts for digital money transfer delivery, maintaining our physical agent network, cross selling opportunities with our EFT and epay segments and our penetration into high growth money transfer corridors. The challenges 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.Recently, inflation has been increasing our cost structure in many parts of the world in which we operate.

COVID-19

The outbreakDuring the three months ended March 31, 2023, almost all of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has resulted in varying degrees of border and business closures,remaining COVID-19 related travel restrictions and other social distancing orders were lifted.We recognize that there is a fair amount of uncertainty regarding  COVID-19 now. COVID-19 related cases continue to be reported globally and new variants continue to evolve.New developments related to COVID-19 or other diseases could also result in mostthe re-imposition of the countries where we operate during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. As the number and rate of new cases has fluctuated in various locations around the globe, the closures,travel restrictions and otheror social distancing orders have been modified, rescinded and/or re-imposed. Although vaccines for COVID-19 are widely available, a significant portionto various parts of the population remains unvaccinated and long term effectiveness of the vaccines, especially against new variants, is 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. world.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 as well as certain restrictions that may impact immigrant laborers.

Impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates

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

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

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$1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively,March 31, 2023, compared to a net foreign currency exchange losses of $8.1 million and $12.1$5.5 million for the same periodsperiod in 2021, respectively.2022. 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.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

The Company's effective income tax rate was 31.1% and 33.5% 46.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, respectively, compared to 23.6% and 35.8%67.4% for the same periodsperiod ended September 30, 2021, respectively.March 31, 2022. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was higher than the applicable statutory income tax rate of 21% as a result of certain foreign earnings being subject to higher statutory tax rates and the Company's U.S. deferred tax activity on foreign exchange positions.rates. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021March 31, 2022 was higher than the applicable statutory income tax rate of 21% mainly as a result of certain foreign earnings being subject to higher local tax rates,rates.

NET INCOME (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO EURONET

Net income attributable to Euronet was $97.720.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, an increase of $23.8$11.9 million or 32%145% compared to the same period in 20212022. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the $114.7$68.7 million increase in revenues, largely driven by the increases within the EFT Segment as tourism and cross-border travel increased during the thirdfirst quarter of 20222023 compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2021.2022. The increased revenues led to a $73.1$35.3 million increase in gross profit, with $60.9$20.9 million of this increase within the EFT Segment.Segment and with $12.6 million of this increase within the Money Transfer Segment. The increase in gross profit of money transfer was partially offset by $15.1a $7.0 million increase in salaries and benefits expense, a $21.3 million increase in income tax expense and a $5.2$6.7 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense.

Net income attributable to Euronet was $163.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $89.4 million, compared to the net income of $73.9 million in the same period in 2021. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the $309.1 million increase in revenues, largely driven by the increases within the EFT Segment as tourism and cross-border travel increased during the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021. The increased revenues led to a $214.0 million increase in gross profit, with $190.1 million of this increase within the EFT Segment. The increase in gross profit was partially offset by a $36.4 million increase in salaries and benefits expense, a $40.7 million increase in income tax expense and a $25.4 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had working capital of $1,075.4$1,436.2 million, which is calculated as the difference between total current assets and total current liabilities, compared to working capital of $1,455.8$1,372.6 million as of December 31, 2021.2022. The decreaseincrease in working capital was primarily due to the $331.0 million acquisition of PBMA and the $175.0a positive earnings, partially offset by $28.3 million of share repurchases partially offset by a $42.9 million increaseduring the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Also the change in borrowing on the Credit Facilityworking capital line items was negatively impacted as of September 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021.2022 ended on a weekend day, which increased funding needs for our agents. Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.501.75 and 1.791.58 at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20212022, 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 duein order to cover weekends and banking holidays. As a result, we may report more or less working capital for the Money Transfer Segment based solely upon the day on which the reporting period ends. The epay Segment produces positive working capital, some of which is restricted in connection with the administration of its customer collection and vendor remittance activities. In our EFT Processing Segment, we obtain a significant portion of the cash required to operate our ATMs through various cash supply arrangements, the amount of which is not recorded on Euronet's Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, in certain countries, we fund the cash required to operate our ATM network from borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, uncommitted credit agreements and cash flows from operations. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had $646.1$627.2 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 $102.7$111.6 million from $543.4$515.6 million as of December 31, 20212022 to $646.1$627.2 million as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 as a result of the increase in number of active ATMs as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2021.The2022. The Company has $967.1$1,065.8 million of unrestricted cash as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 compared to $1,260.5$1,131.2 million as of December 31, 2021. 2022. The decrease in unrestricted cash was primarily due to the $331.0 million acquisition of PBMA, the $102.7$111.6 million allocated from unrestricted cash to ATM cash and the $175.0$28.3 million of share repurchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2022,first quarter of 2023, partially offset by the $42.9 million increase in borrowings on the Credit Facility.positive earnings. Including the $646.1$627.2 million of cash in ATMs at September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we have access to $1,613.2$1,937.8 million in available cash, and $652.8$715.9 million available under the Credit Facility with no significant long-term debt principal payments until March 2025.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $416.0$18.1 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 compared to $71.0$356.9 million for the same period in 20212022. The increasedecrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to the $331.0$331.0 million of cash paid at the closing of PBMA in March 2022. Additionally, we used $79.4$18.6 million for purchases of property and equipment for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 compared to $66.1$23.8 million for the same period in 2021.2022. The increase in purchases of property and equipment is primarily due to the prior period expenditures being reduced by the COVID-19 related impacts to the EFT segment. Cash used for software development and other investing activities totaled $5.3 million and $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The increasedecrease in net borrowings on the Credit Facility, during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, is primarily the result of treasury management relating to settlement requirements across currencies as well as increaseddecreased funding requirements for acquisitions and share repurchases.acquisitions. We repurchased $175.3$29.2 million of common stock during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 compared to $70.5 repurchases of $1.0 million during the same period of 2021.2022. We received proceeds of $4.4$1.0 million and $6.4$2.3 million during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively, for the issuance of stock in connection with our Stock Incentive Plan.
Effect of exchange rates on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
Foreign currency exchange rates for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 had a negative impact of $413.7$33.9 million and $82.7$37.5 million, respectively, on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. The negative impact on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was due primarily to the negative impact in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the Euro.

Other sources of capital

Credit Facility - On October 24, 2022, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) to increase the facility from $1.0$1.03 billion to $1.25 billion which expires onand to extend the expiration to October 24, 2027.
The revolving credit facility contains a sublimit of up to $250 million, sublimit, with $150 million committed, for the issuance of letters of credit, and a $75 million sublimit for U.S. dollar swingline loans and a $75 million sublimit for swingline loans in euroeuros or British pounds sterling.  The Credit Facility allows for borrowings in British pounds sterling,  euro and U.S. dollars. Subject to certain conditions, the Company has the option to increase the credit facilityCredit Facility by up to an additional $500 million by requesting additional commitments from existing or new lenders. Fees and interest on borrowings vary based upon the Company's corporate credit rating and will be based, in the case of letter of credit fees, on a margin, and in the case of interest, on a margin over a secured overnight financing rate, as defined in the agreement, with a margin, including the facility fee, ranging from 1.00% to 1.625% or the base rate, as selected by the Company.  The applicable margin for borrowings under the credit facility, based on the Company's current credit rating is initially 1.25% including the facility fee.

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had $326.3$479.1 million of borrowings and $50.9$55.0 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. The remaining $652.8$715.9 million under the Credit Facility was available for borrowing.

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

 

Senior Notes - On May 22, 2019, we completed the sale of €600 million ($669.9 million) aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes that expire on May 2026 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 1.375% per year, payable annually in arrears on May 22 of each year, until maturity or earlier redemption. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we have outstanding €600 million ($588.4 million)650.4 million) principal amount of the Senior Notes. In addition, we may redeem some or all of these notes on or after February 22, 2026 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
Uncommitted Loans - On May 25, 2022, we entered into an uncommitted credit agreement for $300 million that expires no later than November 30, 2022. The credit agreement is fully drawn and outstanding at September 30, 2022. The credit agreement was entered into for the sole purpose of providing vault cash for ATMs. Each loan entered into under this agreement accrues interest at the rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.00%. 
On June 24, 2022, we entered into an uncommitted credit agreement for $150 million that expires no later than June 23, 2023. The credit agreement was entered into for the sole purpose of providing vault cash for ATMs. The loan had no balance at September 30, 2022. Each loan entered into under the agreement was either a Prime rate loan, a Bloomberg Short-term Bank Yield ("BSBY") rate loan or bears interest at the rate agreed to by the lender and the Company at the time such loan is made.

Other debt obligations — Certain of our subsidiaries have available credit lines and overdraft facilities to generally supplement short-term working capital requirements, when necessary. There were $3.6 million and $0.9$0.2 million outstanding under these other obligation arrangements as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021, respectively.2022.

Other uses of capital

Capital expenditures and needs - Total capital expenditures for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 were $79.4 million.$18.6 million. These capital expenditures were primarily for the purchase and installation of ATMs in key under-penetrated markets, the purchase of POS terminals for the epay and Money Transfer Segments, and office, data center and company store computer equipment and software. Total capital expenditures for 20222023 are currently estimated to range from approximately $110$100 million to $120 $110 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

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


OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

On occasion, we grant guarantees of the obligations of our subsidiaries and we sometimes enter into agreements with unaffiliated third parties that contain indemnification provisions, the terms of which may vary depending on the negotiated terms of each respective agreement. Our liability under such indemnification provisions may be subject to time and materiality limitations, monetary caps and other conditions and defenses. As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, there were no material changes from the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022. 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 September 30, 2022March 31, 2023. See also Note 14, Commitments, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in our future contractual obligations from the amounts reported within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate risk

As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, our total debt outstanding, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was $1,743.3 million.$1,654.6 million. Of this amount, $525.0 million, net of debt discounts, or 30%32% 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, 2022,March 31, 2023, the fair value of our fixed rate Convertible Notes was $513.6$539.9 million,, compared to a carrying value of $525.0 million.$525.0 million. Further, as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 we had $326.3$479.1 million of borrowings under our Credit Facility, or 19%29% of our total debt obligations. The carrying values of the Credit Facility approximates fair value because interest as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, was based on LIBORSOFR that reset at various intervals of less than one year. Additionally, $588.4650.3 million, or 34%39% 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, 2022,March 31, 2023, the fair value of our fixed rate Senior Notes was $550.0583.2 million, compared to a carrying value of $588.4 million. An additional $300.0525.0 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 $3.6$0.2 million, or less than 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 ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, approximately 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, 2022,March 31, 2023, we estimate that a 10% fluctuation in these foreign currency exchange rates would have the combined annualized effect on reported net income and working capital of approximately $185$125 million to $190$135 million. This effect is estimated by applying a 10% adjustment factor to our non-U.S. dollar results from operations, intercompany loans that generate foreign currency gains or losses and working capital balances that require translation from the respective functional currency to the U.S. dollar reporting currency.

Additionally, we have other non-current, non-U.S. dollar assets and liabilities on our balance sheet that are translated to the U.S. dollar during consolidation. These items primarily represent goodwill and intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions in countries other than the U.S. and our Senior Notes. We estimate that a 10% fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates would have a non-cash impact on total comprehensive income of approximately $50$110 million to $55$115 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 earn a foreign currency spread based on the difference between buying currency at wholesale exchange rates and selling the currency to consumers at retail exchange rates. We enter into foreign currency forward and cross-currency swap contracts to minimize exposure related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The changes in fair value related to these contracts are recorded in Foreign currency exchange (loss) gain, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding with a notional value of $415.8$397.0 million, primarily in Australian dollars, British pounds, Canadian dollars, euros and Mexican pesos, that were not designated as hedges and mature within a few days.

For derivative instruments our xe operations write to customers, we aggregate the foreign currency exposure arising from customer contracts, and hedge the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties as part of a broader foreign currency portfolio. The changes in fair value related to the total portfolio of positions are recorded in Revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we held foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding with a notional value of $1,041.8 million$1.0 billion, primarily in U.S. dollars, euros, British pounds, Australian dollars and New Zealand dollars, that were not designated as hedges and for which the majority mature within the next twelve months.

We use longer-term foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates on certain foreign currency denominated other asset and liability positions. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional value of $7.4$271.2 million, primarily in euros.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our executive management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. 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

Except for the integration of the internal controls related to integration activities associated withcontrol processes of the Merchant Acquiring Business of Piraeus Bank ("PBMA") and the inclusion in the scope of our acquisition of PBMA,internal control assessment, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the thirdfirst quarter of 20222023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

 

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

The discussion regarding contingencies in Part I, Item 1 — Financial Statements (unaudited), Note 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.
