"With the completion of the second quarter of 2020, we can see that the strength of Euronet's balance sheet, with more than
The Company achieved consolidated revenue and adjusted EBITDA that exceeded what management anticipated in April by delivering the following results:
- EFT constant currency revenue was
35% of prior year revenue, slightly below the anticipated40% of prior year revenue due to continued border closures across the globe through the end of the second quarter. - epay constant currency revenue grew
5% over the prior year, exceeding the anticipated90% of prior year revenue from strong online and in-app sales of digital media products and continued retail sales of digital media products as a result of pharmacy, grocery and convenience channels being considered essential during the pandemic. - Money Transfer constant currency revenue was
96% of prior year, exceeding the anticipated80% of prior year as a result of the relaxation of certain shelter-in-place and work-place restrictions, unemployment rates decreasing as the quarter progressed and the Company's financial strength which provided for market share gains as competitors in the independent channel face financial and liquidity challenges.
As the second quarter ended, epay transactions continued to trend higher, posting year-over-year weekly improvements from strong expansion of digital distribution of digital media products and continued strong retail sales. Money Transfer transactions were also trending higher, posting year-over-year weekly results better than the prior year as a result of employment rates rebounding slightly and the reopening of nearly all of the agent and retail locations following relaxation of governmental restrictions. Finally, at the end of the second quarter, EFT transactions were trending slightly better, but will likely remain depressed throughout 2020 due to slow openings for international and cross-border travelers across the globe.
Despite the impact of COVID-19 on the second quarter financial results and expected continued softness in the EFT Segment, the Company remains in a strong financial position to navigate the pandemic. Amid the improving trends there have been reportings of increases in COVID-19 cases in certain countries; accordingly, the Company remains cautiously optimistic about the prospects for the third quarter and beyond. To that end, with improving trends in epay and Money Transfer and continued cost reductions and careful expense management actions, the Company anticipates based on recent trends and current global COVID-19 management mandates that its third quarter adjusted EBITDA will be in the range of approximately

Segment and Other Results
The EFT Processing Segment reports the following results for the second quarter 2020 compared with the same period or date in 2019:
- Revenues of
$78.5 million , a66% decrease from$231.9 million (65% decrease on a constant currency basis). - Operating loss of (
$56.6) million , compared with operating income of$76.5 million . - Adjusted operating loss of (
$34.7) million (excluding$21.9 million impairment of goodwill), compared with adjusted operating income of$75.2 million (excluding a$1.3 million post-acquisition adjustment). - Adjusted EBITDA of (
$14.8) million , a116% decrease from$93.0 million (116% on a constant currency basis). - Transactions of 679 million, a
10% decrease from 752 million. - Operated 41,648 ATMs as of June 30, 2020, an
11% decrease from 46,636.
Revenue, operating loss, adjusted operating loss, adjusted EBITDA and transaction declines in the second quarter 2020 were driven by the impact of fewer transactions in Europe and Asia Pacific, including high-value cross-border transactions, related to the COVID-19 pandemic-driven governmentally-imposed border closures and shelter-in-place orders. To partially offset the transaction declines, the EFT segment realized cost savings of nearly
The EFT Segment's active ATMs were lower than the prior year due to additional temporary closures of more than 7,700 ATMs in Europe to limit the impact caused by COVID-19, partially offset by more than 1,900 new outsourcing ATMs and 850 new high-value deployed ATMs.
The epay Segment reports the following results for the second quarter 2020 compared with the same period or date in 2019:
- Revenues of
$187.6 million , a2% increase from$184.2 million (5% increase on a constant currency basis). - Operating income of
$18.0 million , a2% increase from$17.6 million (7% increase on a constant currency basis). - Adjusted EBITDA of
$19.7 million , a2% increase from$19.4 million (6% increase on a constant currency basis). - Transactions of 585 million, a
59% increase from 369 million. - Point-of-sale ("POS") terminals of approximately 703,000 as of June 30, 2020, a slight increase from approximately 700,000.
- Retailer locations of approximately 324,000 as of June 30, 2020, a slight decrease from approximately 325,000.
Second quarter revenue, operating income and adjusted EBITDA growth was driven by continued digital media growth. While revenues grew year-over-year, the epay Segment experienced the impacts of consumer movement restrictions in certain markets, while other markets were positively impacted where the Company has a higher mix of digital distribution or a higher concentration of retailers that were deemed essential and remained open during the pandemic.
Transaction growth was the result of increases across Europe and Brazil, as well as very strong contributions from India, which included a large volume of low-value mobile top-up transactions.
The Money Transfer Segment reports the following results for the second quarter 2020 compared with the same period or date in 2019:
- Revenues of
$262.8 million , a5% decrease from$276.8 million (4% decrease on a constant currency basis). - Operating loss of (
$55.2) million , compared with operating income of$35.3 million . - Adjusted operating income of
$27.5 million (excluding$82.7 million impairment of goodwill), a22% decrease from$35.3 million (22% decrease on a constant currency basis). - Adjusted EBITDA of
$36.0 million , a17% decrease from$43.4 million (16% decrease on a constant currency basis). - Total transactions of 25.8 million, an
11% decrease from 28.9 million. - Network locations of approximately 435,000 as of June 30, 2020, a
13% increase from approximately 385,000.
Second quarter 2020 revenue, operating loss, adjusted operating income, and adjusted EBITDA declines were the result of transaction declines stemming from government ordered business closures and shelter-in-place orders required to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. Adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA were further impacted by SG&A investments made throughout 2019 to support future growth, which was unfortunately blunted by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Both money transfers and non-transfer transactions, such as currency exchange and check cashing declined

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company experienced a significant increase in the frequency of ATM site lease modifications and terminations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This resulted in a reassessment of the Company's position on lease terms for ATM site leases with termination options under ASC Topic 842. As a result of this reassessment,
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 (loss), adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share. These measures should be used in addition to, and not a substitute for, revenues, net income (loss), operating income (loss) and earnings (loss) 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 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 (loss) is defined as operating income (loss) excluding goodwill impairment charges and post-acquisition adjustments. Adjusted operating income (loss) 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, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, goodwill impairments 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 (loss) per share excluding, to the extent incurred in the period, the tax-effected impacts of: a) foreign currency exchange gains or losses, b) goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, c) gains or losses from the early retirement of debt, d) share-based compensation, e) acquired intangible asset amortization, f) non-cash interest expense, g) non-cash income tax expense (benefit) and h) other non-operating or non-recurring items. Adjusted earnings per share represents a performance measure and is not intended to represent a liquidity measure.
