Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 2, 2010, Cardtronics, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release regarding its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, which was furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on the same date.  Subsequent to the issuance of this press release, the Company performed additional analysis of its consolidated income tax provision and associated balance sheet accounts, which resulted in a revision to certain amounts that were previously reported.  On November 5, 2010, the Company filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that included the corrected amounts.  The condensed statements below reflect the correc tions that were made to the previously-reported amounts:

DISCLOSURE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures provided as a complement to results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted within the United States of America ("GAAP") and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that the presentation of these measures and the identification of unusual, non-recurring, or non-cash items enhance an investor's understanding of the underlying trends in the Company's business and provide for better comparability between periods in different years.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation, accretion, and amortization expense as these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within the Company's industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, and the method by which the assets were acquired.  During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, as a result of certain financing activities, the Company recorded a $7.2 million charge associated with the early extinguishment of debt and a $7.3 million charge to write off certain unamortized deferred financing costs and bond discounts related to the instruments retired. These charges have been excluded from EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income as the Company views these charges as one-time, non-recurring events specifically related t o the Company's decision to improve its capital structure and financial flexibility and not related to the Company's ongoing operations. Furthermore, management feels the inclusion of such a charge in EBITDA would not contribute to management's understanding of the operating results and effectiveness of its business.  Since Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income exclude certain non-recurring or non-cash items, these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures employed by other companies. Free Cash Flow is cash provided by operating activities less payments for capital expenditures, including those financed through direct debt. The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

This information is not deemed to be "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K, will not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.
