Ashwin Shirvaikar

Good morning folks. you. Thank

Jim Kelly

Hey. Ashwin. Hey,

The I Kevin. to first to beat lower for be CapEx expectations whether you first mentioned to if me Kevin. half. previous guess Relative relative the sustainable. question to is CapEx to that question due And a answer clear the was why? lower in EPS so a Hi, Wasn't our to which in lower seemed depreciation

Kevin Hodges

Yes.

So sustainable. as yes, far as, it's

compared point-of-sale to year year lower this really CapEx the CapEx terminals. in seen million develop we've XXXX initiative $XX We around around cashless of largely CapEx Poland. to is money key some what million last nearly, in initiatives a spent So lot $XX

lower markets. terminal year, it's our don't have international more make that to just this regular. purchases. then also requirements of seen in an investment We needed And in as annualized, some we've it's Now terminal large other of just

of terminals, North last outside some annualized the or last made quarter point-of-sale CapEx in that of we've of America. in particularly of IT investments Outside the second we year year also

We haven't XXXX. needed to repeat those in

rate tracking run of new been more we've So a CapEx.

remainder I what spent was the year CapEx think as we're sort QX well. anticipating pretty and QX for close our we to in that the of of

Jim Kelly

Yeah.

had the focus big year Ashwin getting being really has than and been year very a going this past. more we about into aggressive this in maybe CapEx down

acquisitions, spending. year said there's but CapEx, do there's last be some and as cash program cashless make as I to of the to just more And we as convergence expansions. much refurbishments office we Kevin going think maybe going be not

know into fourth as year. expected as this year don't year. seen we've thus this improve it far the to at I a the taken very our focus And strong So We the is flow. we balance this will be what of that we've cash quarter. look to think good continue But

Ashwin Shirvaikar

then some Or that in What's terminal on And your lower changing relationships maybe relationship in it newer TouchBistro as relates Okay. the on the going requirement terminal it would comment coming be market? something to on? is is that like manufacturers?

Jim Kelly

many put the it's a lot – Darren, do we thousands cashless have we two things. Poland? of thousands -- bought say, how out One up in ate the a would terminals. on I I

Darren Wilson

XX,XXX. Over

Jim Kelly

by being more say careful would me by – on time when on I management we purchases.

into price But up strategy. TouchBistro spilled no a better company, year. of a would example change. an of as we it some that and to As buy not In necessarily sometimes last is terms think held going on in privately there's I shift

model similar most got do going historically overly it's size, these Chile's was into not because up in bank go this where we change the Mexico. case was I a going In go providing mean to terms I for will of be as up. Transbank in This spend markets the or think to terminals. material. of it'll Chile as But terminals it's go -- not

Ashwin Shirvaikar

those. to the you're regards impact out to acquisitions kind I beginning on not before deals Jim, that watch start with as markets? that been And the see from an I large sort to the impact. you to update. seeing in get it. Got close? past in for this you and playing any much in just different three Anything happened down-the-road mentioned of want actions Are of to EVO a really industry these questions And that's the asked of know really have

Jim Kelly

So are personally, they or that closed know about I to close. mean just all no.

and of Anytime have they transactions, quite closed. think when Global still I TSYS which transaction translate me were were I not speed is which these Global's surprising not closed to at plus at we're you least to we the particular these occurred announcing yet. synergies magnitude to think the a -- type of people. the and everybody make they synergies

one on every leaving. there's I the who these talent good So There companies. we positive think open see people in -- of to really are are

From opportunities think oriented very are domestic customer talent domestically are and the to network we're mainly side. there transactions. oriented these the very sales. the I So ISV We're on network dealer for us for

that organizations within conferences to So I've be disruption downstream? in what heard who's anecdotal mean going and charge as about stories does from to those

hasn't provides the that put So I change I anytime stage. aggressive change nobody seen that proposals or type think for likes occurred. haven't But marketplace this I of there's are that in anytime at change change. That think experiencing opportunities you different people not pricing

about of losses there Hey, is or in Santander good the help that do morning. facing you portfolio? issues some some offset can that the might there that and do, from anything you out are Jim, you're can other you maybe What Spain. you of talked partners

Jim Kelly

Yes.

announced previous large their morning, Popular us. that they've I closed acquired set to and consolidations. reduction they Santander to consolidation had branches. cost relationship we They've that number extends of a pretty The accelerated target acquisition. as or on good to exclusive They've So have It's the Kartik. XXXX. was mentioned a relationship Popular. them for

control. So out unfortunately, our that's of

think is to relationship. to I a strategy have what We around exactly you which that expand are alluding do

closed. it's And market. one that it team obviously bank biggest to Spain. It's there. announced; yet year. be one great Again, a So But that not it. that been last But very not we Spain. is the which would it's be would Liberbank management relationship. has good was It's after was Portugal continue team closed acquisition same a Santander, the example; active not the in look And in

in going remain weather their migration market. to the looking to So have active through guess we're consolidation the so-to-speak we for other unfortunately and storm relationships or I will

Kartik Mehta

take ability of part about I PSDX. terms Europe help of anything for Does in create market any opportunities a might you revenue or that think to growth? Europe that for that the SCA in talked then as you catalyst in And share,

Jim Kelly

You too.

Darren Wilson

picture know SCA. Thanks for in an elements are e-commerce going of SCA, the There land ready is on in terms to will well you is its the implementation. And evolving ultimately question, for that as not many where Yes, major e-commerce SCA as the are message. on in EBA as well guidance is payless SCA although obviously Europe be very entities covering for the transactions side. yes,

and may ready affords think not they regulator opportunity. extension clearly local I So whatever from that a partner the isn't get

the for at the could called of of effectively said, kind local to MasterCard are what's applying France industry EBA, in statistics Nordics the that which is be on minute an regulators. also transactions but putting Italy, roadmap. two-year already rejected, has is That a similar; XX% implementation. delay; XX% pressure proposing XX-month delays

on delays it. proposing or entities So there are countries various

moving is a that date say a to it's piece going couldn't such think XX I short that I term loan I September think So there's just extend. growth big because

play Snap for this then next compliant lengthy whatever opportunities or the but the that months are years. a our runway is over I the gets merchants So to think we ensuring of to them will integrated XX and APG e-commerce seamlessly out have proposition in into SCA partners clearly there. opportunities two windfalls terms where see still But
