Euronet Worldwide Reports First Quarter 2014 Financial Results
 
LEAWOOD, KANSAS, USA - April 29, 2014 - Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (“Euronet” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: EEFT), a leading electronic payments provider, reports first quarter 2014 financial results.

Euronet reports the following consolidated results for the first quarter 2014 compared with the same period of 2013:
Revenues of $353.3 million, a 5% increase from $335.6 million (6% increase on a constant currency(1) basis).
Operating income of $24.4 million, a 27% increase from $19.2 million (24% increase on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA(2) of $43.6 million, an 11% increase from $39.4 million (9% increase on a constant currency basis).
Net income attributable to Euronet of $16.0 million or $0.30 diluted earnings per share, compared with net income of $12.0 million or $0.24 diluted earnings per share.
Adjusted cash earnings per share(3) of $0.46, a 21% increase from $0.38.
Transactions of 590 million, a 5% increase from 562 million.

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

"This was an exciting start to 2014 for Euronet highlighted by our announcements of the pending acquisition of HiFX and our partnership with Walmart," stated Michael J. Brown, Euronet's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Operationally, our EFT Segment had another outstanding quarter. Money transfer continued to see strong revenue growth across our markets and epay remained consistent through sustained sales of higher-margin products, all contributing to starting the year off with a strong 21% growth year-over-year in cash EPS."

Segment and Other Results
The EFT Processing Segment reports the following results for the first quarter 2014 compared with the same period of 2013:
Revenues of $74.6 million, an 18% increase from $63.3 million (20% increase on a constant currency basis).
Operating income of $12.8 million, a 94% increase from $6.6 million (88% increase on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA of $20.2 million, a 36% increase from $14.9 million (33% increase on a constant currency basis).
Transactions of 301 million, a 9% increase from 276 million.
Operated 18,558 ATMs as of March 31, 2014, a 3% increase from 17,949.

Revenue, adjusted EBITDA and operating income expanded from transaction growth driven by increased ATMs under management, greater demand for value added products and additional cards under management.






ATMs grew 3% in the quarter, primarily from additions in India and Europe. Transactions grew 9%, with growth spread across our markets. ATM and transaction growth was partially offset by the previously announced contract termination by IDBI bank in India. Removing the impact of the IDBI agreement, ATMs and transactions would have grown 14% and 12%, respectively, over the first quarter last year.


The epay Segment reports the following results for the first quarter 2014 compared with the same period of 2013:
Revenues of $185.1 million, a 2% decrease from $189.6 million (2% decrease on a constant currency basis).
Operating income of $14.9 million, a 1% increase from $14.8 million (1% increase on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA of $19.0 million, a 2% decrease from $19.3 million (2% decrease on a constant currency basis).
Transactions of 280 million, a 1% increase from 278 million.
Point of sale ("POS") terminals of approximately 647,000 as of March 31, 2014, a 5% decrease from approximately 680,000.
Retailer locations of approximately 289,000 as of March 31, 2014, a 17% decrease from approximately 347,000.

epay revenue, adjusted EBITDA and operating income were impacted by continued declines in Australia and Brazil, largely offset by increased demand for non-mobile content. Transaction declines at cadooz due to the timing of customer promotions contributed to revenue declines but only had a marginal impact on operating income and adjusted EBITDA.

The increase in transactions was driven by growth in India and Germany, partially offset by declines in the Middle East and Brazil. The decline in retail locations and POS terminals stems from the previously disclosed elimination of certain low volume sites in the U.S.

The Money Transfer Segment reports the following results for the first quarter 2014 compared with the same period of 2013:
Revenues of $94.0 million, a 13% increase from $82.9 million (13% increase on a constant currency basis).
Operating income of $3.9 million, a 35% decrease from $6.0 million (38% decrease on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA of $8.5 million, a 21% decrease from $10.8 million (22% decrease on a constant currency basis).
Total transactions of 8.8 million, a 9% increase from 8.1 million.
Network locations of approximately 219,000 as of March 31, 2014, a 10% increase from approximately 199,000.

Money transfer revenue increased as a result of transfer growth across virtually all markets. Operating income was impacted by $1.5 million of expense related to the write-down of certain customer acquisition costs; excluding the write-off of customer acquisition costs, operating income and adjusted EBITDA would have declined 10% and 7%, respectively. The remaining declines in adjusted EBITDA and operating income were more than accounted for by costs from the launch of digital products, acquisition-related expenses and costs related to the development of the Walmart-2-Walmart product.

Transactions grew 9%, driven by an increase in money transfers of 12%, offset by a decline in non-money transfers of 3%. The decline in non-money transfers was due to the discontinuation last year of a high volume, low margin product in Spain. Removing the impact of this product, non-Money transfers would have grown 18% year-over-year.

Corporate and Other reports $7.2 million of expense for the first quarter 2014 compared with $8.2 million for the first quarter 2013. The decrease in corporate expense is primarily attributable to lower professional fee expense, partially offset by higher short- and long-term incentive compensation expense related to improved Company performance.

Balance Sheet and Financial Position





Unrestricted cash on hand was $292.3 million as of March 31, 2014, compared to $209.8 million as of December 31, 2013. Cash increased primarily as a result of cash flows generated from operations, borrowings from the revolver to fund ATM network cash and timing of cash receipts and disbursements. Total indebtedness was $243.2 million as of March 31, 2014, compared to $204.7 million as of December 31, 2013.

Guidance
The Company currently expects adjusted cash earnings per share for the second quarter 2014, assuming foreign currency exchange rates remain stable through the end of the quarter, to be approximately $0.57.

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, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted cash earnings per share financial measures. These measures should be used in addition to, and not a substitute for, 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.

(1) Constant currency 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 interest, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation and other non-operating or non-recurring items that are considered expenses under U.S. GAAP.

(3) Adjusted cash earnings per share is defined as diluted U.S. GAAP earnings per share excluding the tax-effected impacts of: a) foreign currency exchange gains or losses, b) goodwill 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, and h) other non-operating or non-recurring items. Adjusted cash earnings per share includes shares potentially issuable in settlement of convertible bonds or other obligations, if the assumed issuances are dilutive to adjusted cash earnings per share. Adjusted cash earnings per share represents a performance measure and is not intended to represent a liquidity measure.


Conference Call and Slide Presentation
Euronet Worldwide will host an analyst conference call on April 30, 2014, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss these results.

(1) As required by U.S. GAAP, the interest cost and amortization of the convertible debt issuance cost are excluded from
income for the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share for any period when the convertible debentures, if converted,
would be dilutive to earnings per share. Further, the convertible shares are treated as if all were outstanding for the period.
Although the assumed conversion of the convertible debentures was not dilutive to the Company's GAAP earnings for the
three months ended March 31, 2013, it was dilutive to the Company's adjusted cash earnings per share. Accordingly, the interest cost is excluded from income and the convertible shares are treated as if all were outstanding for the period.

(2) Adjusted cash earnings and adjusted cash earnings per share are non-GAAP measures that should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income and earnings per share computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
