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

“I am extremely pleased that we finished the year with our seventh consecutive quarter of double-digit constant currency consolidated revenue, adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA growth rates year-over-year, following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic,” stated Michael J. Brown, Euronet's Chairman and CEO. “In EFT, we saw our most profitable transactions continue to improve in line with the recovery in international travel. In Money Transfer, we saw continued growth in our physical and digital distribution networks, together with a strengthening pipeline for our Dandelion solution. Finally, in epay, we saw continued demand for our content in both the physical and digital channels, together with a nice geographic expansion in our rewards programs delivered by epay on behalf of our retail customers.”

“In a year where macroeconomic uncertainty has dominated the market, our three business segments have continued to show resiliency. Our balance sheet is strong which has allowed us to continue to invest in the right places to deliver strong growth rates in all three segments. The fourth quarter results were in line with our expectations, with favorable effects from foreign currency largely offset by higher-than-expected operating tax expense.  As to inflationary impacts, we generally saw increases across all segments in salary expense, for us and our suppliers. On the revenue side, we did not see any direct impacts of inflation on our EFT and epay segments. However, in our Money Transfer segment, similar to what we saw earlier in the year, the average amount sent per transaction declined by about 3% or 4%, resulting in nearly a 1% decrease in average revenue per transaction. For the full year, our consolidated constant currency revenue came in ahead of 2019 revenue, with EFT, epay and Money Transfer contributing constant currency growth of 13%, 40% and 36% over 2019, respectively.”

“As I reflect on 2022, while we didn’t see a full travel recovery, we are encouraged by the apparent subsiding of the economic effects of the pandemic, and we are looking forward to travel continuing to improve towards pre-pandemic levels. I am proud of each of our segments for their continued success in gaining market share by expanding their products, services, networks and geographies, plus, I am energized by the success we have seen with our digital strategy.  We have signed agreements with large corporations, like Grab, to utilize our Ren platform for their open-loop card issuing across several markets in Asia, and to provide prepaid card issuing services to SOLFIN, a digital wallet provider looking to expand across Latin America. We have signed agreements to utilize our Dandelion platform with one of the ten largest international banks in the world, and Digicel, a telecommunications company which serves customers in diaspora communities in North America, Europe, and APAC. And we completed the acquisition of Piraeus Bank’s merchant acquiring business which has accelerated our POS acquiring presence in Europe. These noteworthy wins, together with many smaller victories, the continued anticipated travel recovery in 2023 and favorable foreign exchange rate trends give me a very optimistic outlook for 2023 and beyond.”

The fourth quarter and full year 2021 results reflect a contract asset impairment of $38.6 million in the Money Transfer Segment.  

Taking into consideration current trends in the business and the global economy, the latest global COVID-19 landscape and historical seasonal patterns, the Company anticipates that its first quarter 2023 Adjusted EPS will be approximately $0.85, which would represent a 23% year-over-year growth. This outlook does not include changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates or other unusual factors that may develop throughout the quarter.

Segment and Other Results

The EFT Processing Segment reports the following results for the fourth quarter 2022 compared with the same period in 2021:

• Revenues of $210.1 million, a 29% increase from $163.5 million (43% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Operating income of $19.1 million compared with $1.8 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $43.4 million, a 68% increase from $25.9 million (85% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Transactions of 1,825 million, a 43% increase from 1,279 million.
• Total of 50,738 installed ATMs as of December 31, 2022, a 4% increase from 48,619. Operated 45,009 active ATMs as of December 31, 2022, a 5% increase from 42,713 as of December 31, 2021.

The EFT Processing Segment reports the following results for the full year 2022 compared with the same period in 2021:

• Revenues of $924.2 million, a 56% increase from $591.2 million (75% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Operating income of $184.0 million compared with an operating loss of $0.4 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $279.4 million, a 209% increase from $90.5 million (247% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Transactions of 6,459 million, a 48% increase from 4,366 million.

Revenue, operating income and adjusted EBITDA growth for both the fourth quarter and full year 2022 was driven by increased domestic and international withdrawal transactions resulting from a strong recovery in travel and more POS processing revenue following the acquisition of Piraeus Bank's merchant acquiring business in March 2022, together with a continued benefit from a significant volume increase in low-priced payment processing transactions in Asia Pacific.

The EFT Segment's total installed ATMs grew 4%, largely from the addition of more than 1,400 Euronet-owned ATMs and approximately 700 new outsourcing ATMs. The difference between installed and active ATMs relates to ATMs that have been seasonally deactivated. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2022, 5,729 ATMs have been temporarily deactivated due to seasonal closures.

The epay Segment reports the following results for the fourth quarter 2022 compared with the same period in 2021:

• Revenues of $285.5 million, consistent with $286.9 million (9% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Operating income of $41.1 million, a 1% increase from $40.6 million (12% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Adjusted EBITDA of $42.6 million, consistent with $42.6 million (11% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Transactions of 941 million, a 10% increase from 854 million.
• Point-of-sale ("POS") terminals of approximately 816,000 as of December 31, 2022, a 5% increase from approximately 775,000.
• Retailer locations of approximately 358,000 as of December 31, 2022, a 7% increase from approximately 335,000.

The epay Segment reports the following results for the full year 2022 compared with the same period in 2021:

• Revenues of $997.9 million, a 1% decrease from $1,011.4 million (8% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Operating income of $120.7 million, a 2% decrease from $122.9 million (10% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Adjusted EBITDA of $126.9 million, a 3% decrease from $131.4 million (8% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Transactions of 3,836 million, a 23% increase from 3,120 million.

Fourth quarter and full year 2022 constant currency revenue, operating income, adjusted EBITDA and transaction growth was driven by continued expansion of digital branded payments and mobile growth, together with the continued expansion of the digital distribution channel and growth in loyalty rewards programs delivered by epay on behalf of new large retailers.

The Money Transfer Segment reports the following results for the fourth quarter 2022 compared with the same period in 2021:

• Revenues of $372.1 million, a 2% increase from $363.3 million (9% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Operating income of $39.9 million compared with $2.7 million.
• Adjusted operating income of $39.9 million, a 3% decrease from $41.3 million (6% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Adjusted EBITDA of $48.1 million, a 4% decrease from $50.1 million (5% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Total transactions of 39.4 million, a 10% increase from 35.7 million.
• Network locations of approximately 522,000 as of December 31, 2022, a 2% increase from approximately 510,000.

The Money Transfer Segment reports the following results for the full year 2022 compared with the same period in 2021:

• Revenues of $1,444.5 million, a 3% increase from $1,401.0 million (9% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Operating income of $154.5 million, a 29% increase from $119.6 million (43% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Adjusted operating income of $154.5 million, a 2% decrease from $158.2 million (8% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Adjusted EBITDA of $188.4 million, a 3% decrease from $194.2 million (7% increase on a constant currency basis).
• Total transactions of 147.9 million, a 9% increase from 135.1 million.

Fourth quarter constant currency revenue, operating income, adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA growth was the result of 13% growth in U.S.-outbound transactions, 13% growth in international-originated money transfers - which included 13% growth in transfers initiated largely in Europe and 14% growth in transfers initiated in the Middle East and Asia - and 25% growth in xe transactions, partially offset by a 17% decline in the intra-U.S. business. These transaction growth rates include 38% growth in direct-to-consumer digital transactions.

Full year 2022 constant currency revenue, operating income, adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA growth was the result of 12% growth in U.S.-outbound transactions, 12% growth in international-originated money transfers - which included 13% growth in transfers initiated largely in Europe and 9% growth in transfers initiated in the Middle East and Asia - and 21% growth in xe transactions, partially offset by a 15% decline in the intra-U.S. business.  These transaction growth rates include 38% growth in direct-to-consumer digital transactions.

The Money Transfer Segment added more than 32,000 network locations; however, it also closed approximately 20,000 locations in Russia, Belarus and Tajikistan during the first quarter 2022 when the Segment suspended its service to Russia - resulting in a net year-over-year expansion of 12,000 locations. The closure of these locations had a nominal impact on revenue and operating profits.

Corporate and Other reports $21.0 million of expense for the fourth quarter 2022 compared with $16.1 million for the fourth quarter 2021.  For the full year 2022, Corporate and Other reports $73.8 million of expense compared with $58.1 million for the full year 2021. The increase in corporate expense for both the fourth quarter and full year 2022 is largely due to higher short- and long-term compensation expense due to improved Company performance.

Balance Sheet and Financial Position
Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand was $1,131.2 million as of December 31, 2022, compared to $967.1 million as of September 30, 2022.  The increase in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents is due to cash generated from operations of approximately $70.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Total indebtedness was $1.61 billion as of December 31, 2022, compared to $1.74 billion as of September 30, 2022.  The decrease in debt is largely due to debt repayments as ATM cash was removed from the ATMs following the peak travel season. As of December 31. 2022, availability under the Company's revolving credit facilities was approximately $740 million.

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 operating income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share. These measures should be used in addition to, and not a substitute for, revenues, net income, operating 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 operating income is defined as operating income (loss) excluding contract asset impairment charges.  Adjusted operating income represents a performance measure and is not intended to represent a liquidity measure.  

⁽³⁾ 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, contract asset impairment charges 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.

⁽⁴⁾ 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 (including the impact of unrecognized share-based compensation on diluted shares outstanding, c) acquired intangible asset amortization, d) non-cash interest expense, e) non-cash income tax expense, f)  contract asset impairment charges, g) other non-operating or non-recurring items and h) dilutive shares related to the Company's convertible bonds. Adjusted earnings per share represents a performance measure and is not intended to represent a liquidity measure.
