See the reconciliation of non-GAAP items in the attached financial schedules.   

"I'm very pleased with the business' constant currency operating profit growth of 13% and the margin expansion of 112 basis points—on its own, this is exciting.  But, I'm more excited about our accomplishments to further our digital strategy through the acquisition of a leading credit card issuing platform – CoreCard - and the signing of a Ren agreement with one of the top three banks in the United States. 

The acquisition of CoreCard fits nicely with our Ren platform. As described in a separate press release, this is not just a credit issuing platform, it's a platform serving leading brands in the US, processing at scale, tried and tested. This premier product gives us yet more opportunity to go after the $10 billion issuing market where the market growth rates are much stronger outside the United States, which aligns strongly with our global business where more than 75% of our revenues are from outside the United States.  Moreover, another exciting aspect of the issuing business is its margin opportunity, nearing 50 percent.  It's these kinds of initiatives that have contributed to our 20-year double digit growth rate and will continue to drive future growth – focused on digital payments.  This acquisition is directly in line with our strategy to shift a stronger mix of our business toward the digital economy. 

Not only did we advance our digital agenda with the credit issuing platform, we just signed an agreement with one of the top three banks in the United States for the deployment of our Ren ATM operating and switching product.  While we have had many successes with Ren outside the US, this is not just the first agreement in the US we've signed, but it is with super impressive top-tiered bank – a real testament to the value proposition of Ren", said Michael J. Brown, Euronet's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Segment and Other Results

The EFT Processing Segment reports the following results for the second quarter 2025 compared with the same period or date in 2024:

• Revenues of $338.5 million, an 11% increase from $305.4 million (6% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Operating income of $84.6million, a 6% increase from $79.9 million (1% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Adjusted EBITDA of $110.6 million, a 5% increase from $105.0 million (no change on a constant currency basis).
• Total of 57,326 installed ATMs as of June 30, 2025, a 5% increase from 54,736. We operated 56,760 active ATMs as of June 30, 2025, a 5% increase from 54,005 as of June 30, 2024.

Constant currency revenue, operating income, and adjusted EBITDA growth in the second quarter 2025 was driven by market expansion, growth across most existing markets and the addition of access fees and an increase in interchange fees in certain markets. 

The epay Segment reports the following results for the Q2 2025 compared with the same period or date in 2024:

• Revenues of $280.1 million, a 7% increase from $260.9 million (5% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Operating income of $31.1 million, a 19% increase from $26.2 million (17% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Adjusted EBITDA of $32.8 million, a 17% increase from $28.0 million (15% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Transactions of 1,107 million, consistent with prior year.
• POS terminals of approximately 721,000 as of June 30, 2025, a 3% increase from 703,000.
• Retailer locations of approximately 354,000 as of June 30, 2025, a 4% increase from 340,000.

Constant currency revenue growth was driven by continued payments and digital media growth. Operating income and adjusted EBITDA grew faster than revenue, driven by a shift in product mix and effective operating expense management. Transaction growth from payments and digital media was offset by a decrease in low margin mobile transactions in India.

The Money Transfer Segment reports the following results for the Q2 2025 compared with the same period or date in 2024:

• Revenues of $457.9 million, a 9% increase from $421.8 million (6% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Operating income of $65.6 million, a 39% increase from $47.3 million (33% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Operating margin expansion of 296 basis points
• Adjusted EBITDA of $71.6 million, a 33% increase from $54.0 million (28% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Total transactions of 46.1 million, a 4% increase from 44.3 million.
• Total digital transactions of 5.8 million, a 29% increase from 4.5 million.
• Network locations of approximately 631,000 as of June 30, 2025, an 8% increase from approximately 586,000.

Constant currency revenue growth was primarily driven by growth in cross-border transactions, partially offset by a decrease in intra-US transactions. Direct-to-consumer digital transactions grew by 29%, reflecting continued consumer demand for digital products. Operating income and adjusted EBITDA growth outpaced revenue growth due to gross margin expansion and leverage of scale. Additionally, the Money Transfer segment continued to expand both its market footprint through the acquisition of a 60% interest in Kyodai Remittance as well as its industry leading global payments network to now reach 4.1 billion bank accounts, 3.2 billion wallet accounts and 631,000 payment locations.

Corporate and Other reports $22.7 million of expense for the second quarter 2025 compared with $19.1 million for the second quarter 2024. The increase in corporate expenses is largely from the increase in long-term share-based compensation.

Balance Sheet and Financial Position

Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand was $1,329.3 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $1,393.6 million as of March 31, 2025. Total indebtedness was $2,438.1 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $2,202.5 million as of March 31, 2025. Availability under the Company's revolving credit facilities was approximately $884.2 million as of June 30, 2025. 

The change in net cash is the result of cash generated from operations, working capital fluctuations and share repurchases of $2.3 million shares for $247 million during the second quarter.

Outlook

Taking into consideration recent trends in the business and the global economy, the Company anticipates its 2025 adjusted EPS will grow 12% to 16% year-over-year, consistent with its 10- and 20-year compounded annualized growth rates. This outlook does not include any changes that may develop in foreign exchange rates, interest rates or other unforeseen factors.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company presents non-GAAP financial measures, such as constant currency financial measures, operating income, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share. These measures should be used in addition to, and not a substitute for, revenues, operating income, net income and earnings per share computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's performance and overall results of operations. These non-GAAP measures are also an integral part of the Company's internal reporting and performance assessment for executives and senior management. The non-GAAP measures used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The attached schedules provide a full reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of its forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for GAAP and the related GAAP and non-GAAP reconciliation, including adjustments that would be necessary for foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and other charges reflected in the Company's reconciliation of historic numbers, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant.  

⁽¹⁾ Constant currency financial measures are computed as if foreign currency exchange rates did not change from the prior period. This information is provided to illustrate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company's results when compared to the prior period.

⁽²⁾ Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding, to the extent incurred in the period, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation and other non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, non-operating or non-recurring items that are considered expenses or income under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA represents a performance measure and is not intended to represent a liquidity measure.

⁽³⁾ Adjusted earnings per share is defined as diluted U.S. GAAP earnings per share excluding, to the extent incurred in the period, the tax-effected impacts of: a) foreign currency exchange gains or losses, b) share-based compensation, c) acquired intangible asset amortization, d) non-cash income tax expense, e) non-cash investment gain f) other non-operating or non-recurring items and g) dilutive shares relate to the Company's convertible bonds. Adjusted earnings per share represent a performance measure and is not intended to represent a liquidity measure.
