Euronet Worldwide Reports $48.1 Million in Revenues and $5.9 Million in

EBITDA for Second Quarter 2003

 

LEAWOOD, KANSAS, USA—July 30, 2003—Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: EEFT), a leading electronic payments provider, announced consolidated revenues of $48.1 million for the second quarter 2003. This compares to $17.5 million for the second quarter 2002. Consolidated operating income for the quarter was $2.8 million, compared to $1.0 million for the second quarter 2002. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was $5.9 million for second quarter 2003 compared to $3.1 million for the second quarter 2002.

 

Net loss for the second quarter 2003 was $2.8 million, or ($0.10) per share. The second quarter 2003 net loss included a foreign exchange translation loss of $3.1 million. Excluding the effects of the foreign exchange loss, the second quarter’s net earnings per share would be $0.01, or $0.3 million.

 

Management analyzes historical results adjusted for certain items that are not necessarily ongoing in nature, that are incremental to the baseline of the business or that are non-operational in nature. Generally, these items include gains/(losses) associated with the sale of business assets/operations, market development costs, foreign exchange translations and other similar items. Management believes the exclusion of these items provide a better basis for evaluating the underlying business unit performance.

 

The EFT Processing Segment posted second quarter 2003 revenues of $12.2 million, EBITDA of $3.1 million and operating income of $1.2 million. In the second quarter 2002, the EFT Processing Segment reported revenues of $12.9 million, EBITDA of $3.5 million and operating income of $1.6 million. The decreases in operating results over the second quarter 2002 reflect the January 2003 sale of the Segment’s U.K. ATM network, partially offset by business growth and expense management over the past year. If the U.K. ATM network operations were excluded and the benefits of the related outsourcing agreement were included, the second quarter revenues would have increased $2.3 million and the operating income would have decreased $0.1 million over the second quarter 2002 revenue and operating income, respectively. Operating income in the second quarter 2003 includes expenses of $0.5 million related to the Segment’s efforts in developing the Asia-Pacific markets, notably India. The EFT Processing Segment processed 27.1 million transactions in the second quarter 2003 compared to 18.7 million transactions for the same period last year. The Segment completed the quarter with 3,120 ATMs owned and/or operated as compared to 2,840 ATMs at the end of the second quarter 2002. Euronet owns and/or operates ATMs in Hungary, Poland, Germany, Croatia, the Czech Republic, the U.K., Greece, Kosovo, Slovakia, Egypt and India.

 

The Prepaid Processing Segment reported second quarter 2003 revenues of $32.2 million, EBITDA of $3.7 million and operating income of $2.7 million. Depreciation and amortization included $0.5 million for amortization of intangible assets assigned for e-pay acquisition related purchase accounting. Included in the Prepaid Processing Segment’s operating income is approximately $0.2 million related to costs necessary to enter the prepaid transaction processing markets in Poland and the U.S. Excluding these market development costs, the Prepaid Processing Segment’s operating income and EBITDA from the acquired e-pay would have been

 


$2.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Total transactions processed in the second quarter 2003 were 22.8 million. e-pay processes electronic prepaid transactions at more than 50,000 point-of-sale terminals located in the U.K., Australia, Malaysia and New Zealand.

 

For comparative purposes, if e-pay’s January pre-acquisition results were included in the first quarter 2003 and if the new market development costs were excluded for the second quarter 2003, e-pay’s second quarter 2003 revenues and operating income would have each grown 20% over the first quarter 2003.

 

The Software Solutions Segment reported $3.8 million in revenues compared to $4.6 million in revenues for second quarter 2002. Second quarter 2002 revenues included $1.6 million in revenues from the Alltel Information Services licensing agreement. Software backlog at June 30, 2003 was $4.9 million compared to $4.3 million at March 31, 2003. Operating income for the Software Solutions Segment was $0.4 million for the second quarter 2003 as compared to $0.5 million for second quarter 2002.

 

The Corporate and Other Segment had $1.5 million of expenses in second quarter 2003, unchanged from the first quarter 2003.

 

In the second quarter 2003, Euronet continued to experience strong growth in total transactions processed. When combining all segments, in the second quarter 2003 Euronet processed 49.9 million transactions compared to 18.7 million transactions in the second quarter 2002. This increase is attributable to continued growth in the EFT Processing Segment combined with the addition of e-pay to the consolidated group.

 

Interest expense for the second quarter 2003 was $1.9 million compared to $1.6 million for the first quarter 2003. The increase was due to a full quarter of e-pay acquisition debt together with higher debt balances resulting from the impacts of the weakening U.S. dollar to both the euro and the British pound sterling.

 

The Company’s unrestricted cash balance was $13.1 million as of June 30, 2003, compared to $13.9 million at March 31, 2003. Restricted cash of $45.3 million at June 30, 2003 includes $40.5 million of cash held in trust and/or cash held on behalf of others in connection with the administration of the customer collection activities in the Prepaid Processing Segment.

 

The Company’s total debt, including capital lease obligations, at June 30, 2003 was $71.8 million compared to $70.9 million at March 31, 2003. During the quarter, total debt increased $3.5 million as a result of the U.S. dollar weakening against the euro and the British pound sterling and decreased due to net repayments of debt totaling $2.6 million.

 

Capital expenditures during the quarter totaled $1.3 million.

 

In February 2003, the Company provided an estimate of its earnings per share for the full year 2003, and it reaffirmed that guidance in April 2003. The Company is updating that guidance, and estimates earnings per share for the full year 2003 to be in the range of $0.10 to $0.13 excluding the effects of foreign exchange gains and losses and the sale of the Company’s U.K. ATM network in January 2003. The principal factors affecting the year’s results include slower than expected implementation of contracts and delays in signing outsourcing contracts in the EFT Processing Segment, expenses for new market development in the Prepaid Processing Segment, increases in interest expense due to foreign exchange fluctuations and income taxes resulting from a change in the mix of earnings among countries. These risks and other risks are set forth in Euronet’s periodic filings with the SEC, including its Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2002 and its Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2003.

 

Euronet Worldwide will host an analyst conference call on Wednesday, July 30, 2003, at 10:00 a.m. U.S. Eastern Daylight Time to further discuss these results. The conference call will be broadcast on the Internet and can be accessed via the Euronet Worldwide Internet site at www.euronetworldwide.com or via Vcall at http://www.vcall.com/CEPage.asp?ID=84246.

Note: Management believes that results for Q2 2002, excluding the sale of the U.K. ATM network, are more comparable to the results for Q2 2003 because the U.K. ATM network operations are no longer included in current results. The U.K. ATM network was sold in Q1 2003 and the Company signed a five year ATM outsourcing agreement with the buyers.
