LEAWOOD, Kan., Oct. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Euronet ("Euronet" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:EEFT), a global leader in payments processing and cross-border transactions, announced today third quarter 2025 financial results.

Revenues of $1,145.7 million, a 4% increase from $1,099.3 million (1% increase on a constant currency¹ basis).
Operating income of $195.0 million, a 7% increase from $182.2 million (2% increase on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA² of $244.6 million, an 8% increase from $225.7 million (4% increase on a constant currency basis).
Net income attributable to Euronet of $122.0 million, or $2.75 diluted earnings per share, compared with $151.5 million, or $3.21 diluted earnings per share.
Adjusted earnings per share³ of $3.62, a 19% increase from $3.03.

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

"Euronet's commitment to innovation and global expansion continues to drive our success with recent Ren deployments, Dandelion sales momentum and the pending acquisition of CoreCard – all accelerating our digital transformation. Through Dandelion, we're enhancing Euronet's global money network with stablecoin innovation — which will enable businesses and consumers to move value seamlessly between digital assets and local fiat currencies. Our on- and off-ramp capabilities will make stablecoins practical, connecting blockchain digital assets to real-world payments liquidity in over 200 countries." said Michael J. Brown Euronet's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "While we anticipated more robust revenues in the quarter, we've seen stronger economic and immigration pressure across the globe. Nonetheless, with 19% third quarter adjusted earnings per share growth, together with expectations for a similarly strong fourth quarter earnings finish, we are well positioned to deliver earnings in line with our previously provided adjusted earnings per share growth range of 12% to16% year-over-year."

Segment and Other Results

The EFT Processing Segment reports the following results for Q3 2025 compared with the same period or date in 2024:

Revenues of $409.4 million, a 10% increase from $373.0 million (5% increase on a constant currency basis).
Operating income of $128.1million, a 9% increase from $117.3 million (4% increase on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA of $154.7 million, a 9% increase from $142.1 million (4% increase on a constant currency basis).
Total of 57,534 installed ATMs as of September 30, 2025, a 4% increase from 55,292. We operated 56,431 active ATMs as of September 30, 2025, a 4% increase from 54,020 as of September 30, 2024.

The EFT segment continued its strategic expansion with banking services, merchant acquisitions, and product launches across key markets including the U.S., Europe, and Asia. The EFT segment revenue, operating income and adjusted EBITDA grew from expansion of banking services and merchant acquiring despite certain economic pressures. The segment strengthened its Ren platform sales and digital services through agreements with leading banks in India, Indonesia, Pakistan, and the Philippines—positioning for continued long-term growth.

The epay Segment reports the following results for the Q3 2025 compared with the same period or date in 2024:

Revenues of $286.5 million, a 1% decrease from $290.3 million (5% decrease on a constant currency basis).
Operating income of $31.0 million, a 7% increase from $29.1 million (4% increase on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA of $32.5 million, a 5% increase from $31.0 million (2% increase on a constant currency basis).
Transactions of 1,148 million, a 2% increase from 1,126 million.
POS terminals of approximately 712,000 as of September 30, 2025, a 2% increase from 701,000*.
Retailer locations of approximately 346,000 as of September 30, 2025, a 2% increase from 339,000*.

*Amounts were restated from previously reported amounts to be comparable to the current presentation

epay Constant currency operating income and adjusted EBITDA growth was attributable to continued payments growth and expansion of branded content distribution, predominantly from the gaming category. The revenue decline on a constant currency basis was primarily due to the discontinuation of a mobile activation product in the United States, which had a minimal impact on earnings.

The Money Transfer Segment reports the following results for the Q3 2025 compared with the same period or date in 2024:

Revenues of $452.4 million, a 3% increase from $438.2 million (1% increase on a constant currency basis).
Operating income of $59.3 million, a 2% increase from $58.1 million (2% decrease on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA of $65.9 million, a 3% increase from $64.1 million (1% decrease on a constant currency basis).
Total transactions of 46.0 million, a 2% increase from 45.1 million.
Total digital transactions of 6.05 million, a 32% increase from 4.58 million.
Network locations of approximately 638,000 as of September 30, 2025, a 7% increase from approximately 595,000.

The Money Transfer segment revenue growth reflects its digital transformation through strategic partnerships with leading wallets, banks and fintechs across Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Africa, despite certain economic pressures and immigration policy changes. Moreover, operating income and adjusted EBITDA reflect year-over-year investments in its digital and Dandelion products. Money transfer maintained strong momentum through its customer-centric omnichannel approach and global reach.

Corporate and Other reports $23.4 million of expense for the third quarter 2025 compared with $22.3 million for the third 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 $1,172.5 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $1,329.3 million as of June 30, 2025. Total indebtedness was $2,305.3 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $2,438.1 million as of June 30, 2025. Availability under the Company's revolving credit facilities was approximately $1.8 billion as of September 30, 2025.

During the third quarter of 2025, Euronet successfully completed a $1.0 billion senior convertible notes offering bearing interest at 0.625%, with the notes maturing on October 1, 2030. The proceeds from the offering were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.

The decrease in net cash is largely the result of share repurchases of 1.3 million shares offset by cash generated from operations, cash returned from ATMs following the summer season and working capital fluctuations during the third 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, 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-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) non-cash impairment, g) other non-operating or non-recurring items and h) dilutive shares related to the Company's convertible notes. Adjusted earnings per share represents a performance measure and is not intended to represent a liquidity measure.
