EURONET WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) GENERAL
Organization
Euronet Worldwide, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Euronet”) is a leading global electronic payments provider. Euronet offers payment and transaction processing and distribution solutions to financial institutions, retailers, service providers and individual consumers. The Company's primary product offerings include: comprehensive automated teller machine (“ATM”), point-of-sale (“POS”) and card outsourcing services; electronic distribution of prepaid mobile airtime and other electronic payment products; and global consumer money transfer services.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the records of the Company, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, such unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal interim closing procedures) necessary to present fairly on a consolidated basis the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2012, and the results of its operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Euronet for the year ended December 31, 2011, including the notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2012.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES
Recent accounting pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would not be required to perform the two-step impairment test for that reporting unit. The qualitative assessment is applicable to the annual test of goodwill impairment as well as determining if an interim test of goodwill impairment is necessary. The Company adopted ASU 2011-08 effective January 1, 2012 and its adoption did not materially affect the Company's financial statements.
Money transfer settlement obligations
Money transfer settlement obligations are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet and consist of amounts owed by the Company to money transfer recipients. As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s money transfer settlement obligations were $48.4 million.

(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the respective period, after adjusting for any potential dilution of the assumed conversion of the Company’s convertible debentures, restricted stock and options to purchase the Company’s common stock. The following table provides the computation of diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding:

51,957,942

 
51,483,148

 
51,950,613

The table includes the impact of all stock options and restricted stock that are dilutive to Euronet’s weighted average common shares outstanding during the periods. The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes stock options or shares of restricted stock that are anti-dilutive to the Company’s weighted average common shares outstanding of approximately 3,496,000 and 3,662,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and approximately 1,817,000 and 1,751,111 for the three- and six -month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
The Company has convertible debentures that, if converted, would have a potentially dilutive effect on the Company’s stock. As required by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings per Share, if dilutive, the impact of the contingently issuable shares must be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share under the “if-converted” method, regardless of whether the conditions upon which the debentures would be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock have been met. The Company’s outstanding 3.50% debentures are convertible into 4.2 million shares of common stock only upon the occurrence of certain conditions. Under the if-converted method, the assumed conversion of the 3.50% debentures was anti-dilutive for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and, accordingly, associated shares have been excluded from diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

(4) ACQUISITIONS

In January 2012, the Company acquired the remaining 51% of the common stock, which it did not previously own, of Euronet Middle East W.L.L. The purchase price of approximately $6.4 million was paid from cash on hand. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities of Euronet Middle East W.L.L. were recorded at fair value which resulted in a $4.4 million gain on the increase of the book value of the 49% interest previously owned.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the acquired net assets at the acquisition date:

Estimated annual amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives, before income taxes, as of June 30, 2012, is expected to total $22.2 million for 2012, $17.5 million for 2013, $14.9 million for 2014, $9.7 million for 2015, $8.1 million for 2016 and $6.7 million for 2017.
The Company’s annual goodwill impairment test is performed during the fourth quarter. The Company’s annual impairment test for the year ended December 31, 2011 resulted in no impairment charges. Determining the fair value of reporting units requires significant management judgment in estimating future cash flows and assessing potential market and economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s operations will not perform as expected, or that estimates or assumptions could change, which may result in the Company recording material non-cash impairment charges during the year in which these changes take place.

The 3.50% convertible debentures had principal amounts outstanding of $171.4 million and unamortized discounts outstanding of $2.3 million and $6.3 million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The discount will be amortized through October 15, 2012. Interest expense, including contractual interest and discount accretion, was $3.5 million and $3.4 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $6.9 million and $6.8 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The effective interest rate was 8.4% for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

(7) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional value of $80.6 million, primarily in euros and Mexican pesos, which were not designated as hedges and had a weighted average remaining maturity of 3 days. Although the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to offset foreign currency exposure related to the notional value of money transfer transactions collected in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, they are not designated as hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. This is mainly due to the relatively short duration of the contracts, typically 1 to 14 days, and the frequency with which the Company enters into them. Due to the short duration of the contracts and the Company’s credit profile, the Company is generally not required to post collateral with respect to its foreign currency forward contracts.
The Company has an office lease in a foreign country that requires payment in a currency that is not the functional currency of either party to the lease or the Company’s reporting currency. Therefore, the lease contains an embedded derivative per ASC Topic 815. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the embedded derivative is recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance sheets.

(8) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and short-term debt obligations approximate fair values due to their short maturities. The carrying values of the Company’s term loan due 2016 and revolving credit agreements approximate fair values because interest is based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") that resets at various intervals of less than one year. The following table provides the estimated fair values of the Company’s other financial instruments, based on quoted market prices or significant other observable inputs.

The fair values disclosed above for the Company's convertible debentures are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1). The Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) are the foreign currency derivative contracts and the embedded derivative in foreign lease. The Company values foreign currency derivative contracts using foreign currency exchange quotations for similar assets and liabilities. The embedded derivative in foreign lease is valued using present value techniques and foreign currency exchange quotations.

(10) GUARANTEES
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $89.2 million of stand-by letters of credit/bank guarantees issued on its behalf, of which $34.4 million are outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The remaining stand-by letters of credit/bank guarantees are collateralized by $14.8 million of cash deposits held by the respective issuing banks.
Under certain circumstances, Euronet grants guarantees in support of obligations of subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had granted off balance sheet guarantees for cash in various ATM networks amounting to $16.5 million over the terms of the cash supply agreements and performance guarantees amounting to approximately $27.5 million over the terms of the agreements with the customers.
From time to time, Euronet enters into agreements with unaffiliated parties that contain indemnification provisions, the terms of which may vary depending on the negotiated terms of each respective agreement. The amount of such potential obligations is generally not stated in the agreements. Our liability under such indemnification provisions may be mitigated by relevant insurance coverage and may be subject to time and materiality limitations, monetary caps and other conditions and defenses. Such indemnification obligations include the following:
In connection with contracts with financial institutions in the EFT Processing Segment, the Company is responsible for damage to ATMs and theft of ATM network cash that, generally, is not recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2012, the balance of ATM network cash for which the Company was responsible was approximately $315 million. The Company maintains insurance policies to mitigate this exposure;
In connection with the license of proprietary systems to customers, Euronet provides certain warranties and infringement indemnities to the licensee, which generally warrant that such systems do not infringe on intellectual property owned by third parties and that the systems will perform in accordance with their specifications;
Euronet has entered into purchase and service agreements with vendors and consulting agreements with providers of consulting services, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify certain of such vendors and consultants, respectively, against third-party claims arising from the Company’s use of the vendor’s product or the services of the vendor or consultant;
In connection with acquisitions and dispositions of subsidiaries, operating units and business assets, the Company has entered into agreements containing indemnification provisions, which can be generally described as follows: (i) in connection with acquisitions of operating units or assets made by Euronet, the Company has agreed to indemnify the seller against third party claims made against the seller relating to the operating unit or asset and arising after the closing of the transaction, and (ii) in connection with dispositions made by Euronet, Euronet has agreed to indemnify the buyer against damages incurred by the buyer due to the buyer’s reliance on representations and warranties relating to the subject subsidiary, operating unit or business assets in the disposition agreement if such representations or warranties were untrue when made; and
Euronet has entered into agreements with certain third parties, including banks that provide fiduciary and other services to Euronet or to the Company’s benefit plans. Under such agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify such service providers for third party claims relating to carrying out their respective duties under such agreements.
The Company is also required to meet minimum capitalization and cash requirements of various regulatory authorities in the

13

Table of Contents

jurisdictions in which the Company has money transfer operations. The Company has obtained surety bonds in compliance with money transfer licensing requirements of the applicable governmental authorities.
To date, the Company is not aware of any significant claims made by the indemnified parties or third parties to guarantee agreements with the Company and, accordingly, no liabilities were recorded as of June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

(11) INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective tax rates were 47.5% and 35.7% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 35.9% and 30.2% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The effective tax rates were significantly influenced by the foreign currency exchange gains and losses, $4.4 million gain on acquisition during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 and a $1.0 million gain on legal settlement during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. Excluding these items from pre-tax income, as well as the related tax effects for these items, the Company’s effective tax rates were 33.6% and 44.2% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 38.1% and 44.5% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The Company's effective tax rate, as adjusted, for the second quarter of 2012 was lower than the applicable statutory rate of 35% primarily because of the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits and tax return true ups in foreign jurisdictions. The Company's effective tax rate, as adjusted, for the first half of 2012 was higher than the applicable statutory rate of 35% primarily because of our U.S. income tax positions, partly offset by the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits and tax return true ups in foreign jurisdictions. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, we have recorded a valuation allowance against our U.S. income tax net operating losses as it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Accordingly, the income tax benefits associated with pre-tax book losses generated by our U.S. entities have not been recognized in these periods.


(12) LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingencies

Computer Security Breach - A unit of the Company's European processing business was the subject of a criminal security breach in late 2011. The affected business represents less than 5% of the Company's revenues, profits and transactions. Euronet took immediate steps to remediate the breach and ensure its impact was contained.

Bank card association rules provide a process by which loss and expense arising from such breaches is allocated among card issuers, acquirers and service providers such as Euronet. The Company expects that some claims may be asserted against it under such rules or under its agreements with acquiring banks. However, the Company believes that any liability under such claims will be limited by a number of factors including the fact that the majority of cards processed by the affected business were EMV compliant chip and PIN cards to which such rules either do not apply or apply a lower level of liability. Losses from fraudulent card activity appear to have been limited to magnetic stripe transactions processed on the affected systems. In addition, the Company maintains insurance to cover the financial exposure for response costs, losses by card issuers and fines or penalties from such incidents.

At this time, the Company is unable to predict the possible range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of claims against it in connection with the breach. However, the Company does not at this time expect the net financial impact of loss or expense from the breach after the probable insurance recovery to be material.

The Company is continuing to take aggressive measures to strengthen its security controls, and is working closely with computer security specialists in this regard.

Expenses related to the breach were $0.5 million in the first half of 2012, net of $1.7 million in amounts recovered from our insurance carrier and expected additional insurance recoveries of $0.2 million.

Antitrust Investigation - In the second quarter of 2009, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) served Continental Exchange Solutions, Inc. d/b/a Ria Financial Services (“CES”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with a grand jury subpoena requesting documents from CES and its affiliates in connection with an investigation into possible price collusion related to money transmission services to the Dominican Republic (“D.R.”) during the period from January 1, 2004 to the date of the subpoena. The Company acquired all of the stock of Ria Envia, Inc., the parent of CES, in April 2007. CES foreign exchange transactions between the U.S and the D.R. generated approximately 0.3% of the Company’s 2009 consolidated revenues. The Company and CES are fully cooperating with the DOJ in its investigation.

14

Table of Contents

The Company believes that, during the period covered by the DOJ investigation, CES generally derived part of its charge for exchanging U.S. dollars into D.R. pesos from a reference rate recommended by ADEREDI, a trade association in the D.R. composed of a CES subsidiary and other D.R. money transfer firms. The Company further believes, however, that CES set its own service fee on the D.R. transactions and its overall transaction price to customers. Customers were also free during this time period to use CES and other firms to transmit dollars into the D.R., without conversion into D.R. pesos, and the Company believes such transmissions occurred with increasing frequency over the course of this time period.
At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the DOJ investigation, or, if charges were to be brought against CES, the possible range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of any such charges. Nor can the Company predict any potential effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition arising from such charges or potential collateral consequences, which could include fines, penalties, limitations on or revocation of CES’s license to engage in the money transfer business in one or more states, and civil liability. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, no significant fees were incurred related to this investigation and related matters. In addition, the Company may incur in the future significant fees and expenses in connection with the DOJ investigation and related matters.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company is a party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business. Currently, there are no legal proceedings that management believes, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
COMPANY OVERVIEW, GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS AND PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Euronet Worldwide, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Euronet,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) is a leading electronic payments provider. We offer payment and transaction processing and distribution solutions to financial institutions, retailers, service providers and individual consumers. Our primary product offerings include comprehensive automated teller machine (“ATM”), point-of-sale (“POS”) and card outsourcing services; electronic distribution of prepaid mobile airtime and other electronic payment products; and global consumer money transfer services. As of June 30, 2012, we operate in the following three principal operating segments:
The EFT Processing Segment, which processes transactions for a network of 17,048 ATMs and approximately 69,000 POS terminals across Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. We provide comprehensive electronic payment solutions consisting of ATM cash withdrawal services, ATM network participation, outsourced ATM and POS management solutions, credit and debit card outsourcing, and value added services, including dynamic currency conversion. Through this segment, we also offer a suite of integrated electronic financial transaction software solutions for electronic payment and transaction delivery systems.
The epay Segment, which provides distribution, processing and collection services for prepaid mobile airtime and other electronic payment products. Including terminals operated by unconsolidated subsidiaries, we operate a network of approximately 617,000 POS terminals providing electronic processing of prepaid mobile airtime top-up services and other electronic payment products in Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, North America and South America. We also provide vouchers and physical gift fulfillment services in Europe.
The Money Transfer Segment, which provides global consumer-to-consumer money transfer services, primarily under the brand name Ria. We offer this service through a network of sending agents and Company-owned stores (primarily in North America and Europe), disbursing money transfers through a worldwide correspondent network that includes approximately 158,000 locations. In addition to money transfers, we also offer customers bill payment services (primarily in the U.S.), payment alternatives such as money orders and prepaid debit cards, comprehensive check cashing services for a wide variety of issued checks, along with competitive foreign currency exchange services.
We have four processing centers in Europe, two in Asia Pacific, two in North America and one in the Middle East. We have 28 principal offices in Europe, six in North America, nine in Asia Pacific, one in South America, and two in Africa. Our executive offices are located in Leawood, Kansas, USA. With approximately 77% of our revenues denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, any significant changes in currency exchange rates will likely have a significant impact on our results of operations.

SOURCES OF REVENUES AND CASH FLOW
Euronet primarily earns revenues and income based on ATM management fees, transaction fees, commissions and foreign currency spreads. Each operating segment’s sources of revenues are described below.
EFT Processing Segment — Revenues in the EFT Processing Segment, which represented approximately 18% of total consolidated revenues for the first half of 2012, are derived from fees charged for transactions made by cardholders on our proprietary network of ATMs, fixed management fees and transaction fees we charge to customers for operating ATMs and processing debit and credit cards under outsourcing and cross-border acquiring agreements and other value added services such as advertising, money transfers and foreign currency exchange margin on dynamic currency conversion transactions provided over ATMs. Through our proprietary network, we generally charge fees or earn margin on four types of ATM transactions: i) cash withdrawals, ii) balance inquiries, iii) transactions not completed because the relevant card issuer did not give authorization, and iv) value added services such as prepaid telecommunication recharges, dynamic currency conversion, bill payment and ATM advertising. Revenues in this segment are also derived from license fees, professional services and maintenance fees for proprietary application software and sales of related hardware.
epay Segment — Revenues in the epay Segment, which represented approximately 57% of total consolidated revenues for the first half of 2012, are primarily derived from commissions or processing fees received from mobile phone operators for the sale and distribution of prepaid mobile airtime. We also generate revenues from commissions earned from the distribution of other electronic payment products, vouchers and physical gifts. Due to certain provisions in our mobile phone operator agreements, the operators have the ability to reduce the overall commission paid on top-up transactions. However, by virtue of our

agreements with retailers (distributors where POS terminals are located) in certain markets, not all of these reductions are absorbed by us because we are able to pass a significant portion of the reductions to retailers. Accordingly, under certain retailer agreements, the effect is to reduce revenues and reduce our direct operating costs resulting in only a small impact on gross profit and operating income. In some markets, reductions in commissions can significantly impact our results as it may not be possible, either contractually or commercially in the concerned market, to pass a reduction in commissions to the retailers. In Australia, certain retailers negotiate directly with the mobile phone operators for their own commission rates, which also limits our ability to pass through reductions in commissions. Agreements with mobile operators are important to the success of our business. These agreements permit us to distribute prepaid mobile airtime to the mobile operators’ customers. Other electronic payment products offered by this segment include prepaid long distance calling card plans, prepaid Internet plans, prepaid debit cards, gift cards, vouchers, transport payments, lottery payments, bill payment, money transfer and digital content such as music, games and software.
Money Transfer Segment — Revenues in the Money Transfer Segment, which represented approximately 25% of total consolidated revenues for the first half of 2012, are primarily derived from charging a transaction fee, as well as the margin earned from purchasing foreign currency at wholesale exchange rates and selling the foreign currency to consumers at retail exchange rates. We have a sending agent network in place comprised of agents and Company-owned stores primarily in North America and Europe and a worldwide network of correspondent agents, consisting primarily of financial institutions in the transfer destination countries. Sending and correspondent agents each earn fees for cash collection and distribution services. These fees are recognized as direct operating costs at the time of sale.
Corporate Services, Eliminations and Other - In addition to operating in our principal operating segments described above, our “Corporate Services, Eliminations and Other” category includes non-operating activity, certain inter-segment eliminations and the cost of providing corporate and other administrative services to the operating segments, including share-based compensation expense. These services are not directly identifiable with our reportable operating segments.

Impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates
Compared to most of the currencies of the foreign countries in which we operate, the U.S. dollar was stronger during the second quarter and first half of 2012 than it was during the comparable 2011 periods. Because our revenues and local expenses are recorded in the functional currencies of our operating entities, amounts we earned for the second quarter and first half of 2012 reflected a negative impact due to the weaker foreign currencies. Considering the results by country and the associated functional currency, we estimate that our consolidated operating income for the second quarter and first half of 2012 was approximately 11% and 8% lower, respectively, when compared to the same periods of 2011 as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. If significant, in our discussion we will refer to the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in our comparison of operating segment results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. To provide further perspective on the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, the following table shows the changes in currency values relative to the U.S. dollar from the second quarter and first half of 2011 to the same periods of 2012 for the countries and regions in which we have our most significant operations:

Table of Contents

Revenues
Our revenues for the second quarter and first half of 2012 increased when compared to the same periods of 2011, primarily due to an increase in the number of ATMs under management, including those added from 2011 acquisitions, and growth in value added services, including dynamic currency conversion. These increases were partly offset by the impact of the weaker foreign currencies in 2012. The increase for the first half was also partly offset by the $1.2 million previously deferred revenue recognized in the first quarter of 2011 related to a customer discontinuing a certain product in Greece.
Average monthly revenue per ATM was $1,160 for the second quarter and $1,129 for the first half of 2012 compared to $1,436 for the second quarter and $1,395 for the first half of 2011. These decreases were primarily the result of ATM and transaction growth in India and Pakistan, where revenues per ATM and revenues per transaction are generally lower than those in Europe, and the impact of the weaker foreign currencies. Revenue per transaction was $0.20 for the second quarter and $0.19 for the first half of 2012 compared to $0.22 each for the second quarter and the first half of 2011. These decreases were primarily due to transaction growth in India and Pakistan along with the impact of the weaker foreign currencies in 2012.
Direct operating costs
Direct operating costs consist primarily of site rental fees, cash delivery costs, cash supply costs, maintenance, insurance, telecommunications and the cost of data center operations-related personnel, as well as the processing centers’ facility-related costs and other processing center-related expenses. Direct operating costs increased in the second quarter and first half of 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011, primarily due to the increase in the number of ATMs under management, partly offset by the impact of the weaker foreign currencies.
Gross profit
Gross profit, which is calculated as revenues less direct operating costs, was $30.1 million for the second quarter and $54.3 million for the first half of 2012 compared to $27.0 million for the second quarter and $49.3 million for the first half of 2011. The increase for the second quarter of 2012 was primarily due to the increase in ATMs under management and the growth in value added services, partly offset by the impact of the weaker foreign currencies. The increase for the first half of 2012 was also partly offset by the additional revenue recognized in Greece in the first quarter of 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues (“gross margin”) was 52% for the second quarter and 50% for the first half of 2012 compared to 54% for the second quarter and 52% for the first half of 2011; these decreases were largely due to the greater number of newly installed ATMs in the second quarter and first half of 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011.
Salaries and benefits
The increases in salaries and benefits for the second quarter and first half of 2012 was primarily due to adding employees to support the growth in ATMs under management, including those obtained through acquisitions, partly offset by the impact of the weaker foreign currencies. As a percentage of revenues, these costs decreased to 14.4% for the second quarter and 14.6% for the first half of 2012 compared to 15.9% for the second quarter and 15.7% for the first half of 2011; these decreases resulted from revenue growth that did not require similar increases in support costs.
Selling, general and administrative
The increases in selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter and first half of 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011 was primarily due to increased costs in growing markets, including those in which acquisitions were made in the past year. These increases were partly offset by the impact of the weaker foreign currencies. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 8.6% for the second quarter and 9.2% for the first half of 2012 from 8.9% for the second quarter and 9.3% for the first half of 2011. These decreases were primarily due to the growth in value added services, including dynamic currency conversion.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the second quarter and first half of 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011, primarily due to the increase in ATMs under management and the amortization of intangible assets related to recent acquisitions, partly offset by the impact of the weaker foreign currencies. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expense increased to 10.8% for the second quarter and 11.3% for the first half of 2012 compared to 10.4% for the second quarter and 10.7% for the first half of 2011, mainly as a result of the amortization of intangible assets related to recent acquisitions.

Operating income
Operating income increased for the second quarter and first half of 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011, primarily due to an increase in ATMs under management and growth in value added services, including dynamic currency conversion, partly offset by the impact of the weaker foreign currencies. The increase for the first half of 2012 was also partly offset by the additional revenue recognized in Greece in the first quarter of 2011. Operating income per transaction was $0.04 for both the second quarter of 2012 and 2011 and $0.03 for both the first half of 2012 and 2011. Operating income as a percentage of revenues (“operating margin”) decreased to 17.7% for the second quarter and 15.1% for the first half of 2012 compared to 18.2% for the second quarter and 16.2% for the first half of 2011. These decreases reflect the increase in amortization of intangible assets related to recent acquisitions and the transaction growth in India, where the revenues per ATM and revenues per transaction are generally lower than Europe. The decrease for the first half of 2012 also reflects the additional revenues recognized in Greece in the first quarter of 2011.

Revenues
The increase in revenues for the second quarter and first half of 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011 was primarily due to the impact of our third quarter 2011 acquisition of cadooz Holding GmbH ("cadooz") and an increase in transactions processed in Germany – mainly from increased demand for non-mobile products – and the U.S. These increases were partly offset by revenue declines in Australia, Brazil, Spain and the U.K., as well as the impact of the weaker foreign currencies. Revenues in Brazil decreased for the second quarter and first half of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 due to certain mobile operators modifying their distribution strategies beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011. These mobile operator changes are expected to negatively impact revenues for the remainder of 2012. The revenue declines in Spain and the U.K. were mostly driven by economic and competitive pressures. Revenues in Australia decreased for the second quarter and first half of 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011 primarily due to the impact of certain large retailers entering into direct agreements with two mobile operators during the second half of 2011.
In certain markets, our revenues have declined or growth has slowed due to mobile phone operators driving competitive reductions in commissions or removing us from the airtime distribution chain by using alternative distribution strategies, as well as overall economic conditions impacting customers' buying decisions. We expect most of our future revenue growth to be derived from: (i) additional electronic payment products sold over the base of POS terminals, (ii) developing markets or markets in which there is organic growth in the electronic top-up sector overall, and (iii) acquisitions, if available and commercially appropriate.
Revenues per transaction were $0.61 for the second quarter and $0.64 for the first half of 2012 compared to $0.59 for the second quarter and $0.61 for the first half of 2011. The increase in revenues per transaction was mainly due to the impact of cadooz transactions, which are recorded at gross value, in contrast to our other electronic payment products which are recorded at net value. This increase was partly offset by the impact of the weaker foreign currencies and other changes in the mix of transactions, particularly due to growth in India, and our ATX subsidiary. ATX and India provide only transaction processing

services without significant direct costs and other operating costs related to installing and managing terminals; therefore, the revenues we recognize from these transactions are a fraction of those recognized on average transactions, but with strong contribution to gross profit.
Direct operating costs
Direct operating costs in the epay Segment include the commissions we pay to retail merchants for the distribution and sale of prepaid mobile airtime and other prepaid products, as well as expenses required to operate POS terminals, and the cost of vouchers sold and physical gifts fulfilled. The increase in direct operating costs was primarily attributable to the impact of cadooz transactions, as well as the growth in transactions in Germany and the U.S., partly offset by the decrease in the number of transactions processed in Australia, Brazil, and Spain, lower commission costs in the U.K. and the impact of the weaker foreign currencies.
Gross profit
Gross profit, which represents revenues less direct costs, was $38.7 million for the second quarter and $79.8 million for the first half of 2012 compared to $37.9 million for the second quarter and $73.1 million for the first half of 2011. The primary factors behind the increase in gross profit are the impact of cadooz transactions and the increased transaction volumes in Germany – mainly from increased demand for non-mobile products – and the U.S. These increases were partly offset by a decline in transaction volume in Australia, Brazil, and Spain and the impact of weaker foreign currencies. Gross margin declined to 23% for the second quarter of 2012 from 24% in the same period of 2011, reflecting the impact of the cadooz transactions and lower gross margins in Brazil and Spain. Gross margin was flat at 23% for both the first half of 2012 and 2011. Gross profit per transaction was flat at $0.14 for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011. Gross profit per transaction increased to $0.15 for the first half of 2012 compared to $0.14 for the first half of 2011. This increase reflects the impact of cadooz transactions, partly offset by the impact of weaker foreign currencies and a higher percentage of lower profit transactions.
Salaries and benefits
The increase in salaries and benefits for the second quarter and first half of 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011 was primarily due to the impact of the cadooz acquisition, growth of sales staff and additional headcount to support development of new products and growing markets, partly offset by the impact of the weaker foreign currencies. As a percentage of revenues, salaries and benefits increased to 7.5% for both the second quarter and the first half of 2012 from 7.4% for the second quarter and 7.0% the first half of 2011. These increases were primarily due to a decrease in revenues in Australia and Brazil for the first half of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011.
Selling, general and administrative
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter and first half of 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011 was mainly due to the impacts of the cadooz acquisition and increased bad debt expense in certain countries, partly offset by the impact of the weaker foreign currencies. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses increased to 6.7% for the second quarter and 6.1% for the first half of 2012 from 5.4% for the second quarter and 5.0% for the first half of 2011, primarily because of the decreases in epay Australia's and epay Spain's revenues for the second quarter and first half of 2012. The increase for the second quarter of 2012 was also due to the increase in bad debt expense compared to the second quarter of 2011.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense primarily represents amortization of acquired intangible assets and the depreciation of POS terminals we install in retail stores. Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the second quarter and first half of 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011 mainly due to the impact of the cadooz acquisition, including amortization of acquired intangible assets, and the addition of POS terminals in growing markets. These increases were partly offset by decreased expense in markets where acquired intangible assets became fully amortized, as well as the impact of the weaker foreign currencies. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses increased slightly to 3.0% for both the second quarter and the first half of 2012 from 2.9% in the same periods of 2011.
Operating income
The decrease in operating income for the second quarter and first half of 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011 was primarily due to transaction volume and revenue declines in Australia, Brazil, and Spain, and the impact of the weaker foreign currencies. The declines in volume and revenue in Brazil were due to certain mobile operators modifying their distribution strategies beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011. These mobile operator changes are expected to negatively impact revenues for the remainder of 2012. The declines in volume and revenue in Spain were mostly driven by economic and competitive pressures. In addition, the declines in volume and revenues in Australia were due to certain large retailers entering into direct

agreements with two mobile operators during the second half of 2011. These decreases were partly offset by increases in transaction volumes in the U.S. and Germany and the impact of the cadooz acquisition. Operating margin was 6.0% for the second quarter and 6.8% for the first half of 2012 compared to 8.6% for the second quarter and 8.5% for the first half of 2011. These decreases were primarily due to the inclusion of cadooz revenues at gross value and the increase in bad debt expense. Also contributing to these decreases were the revenue declines in Australia, Brazil, and Spain for both the second quarter and first half of 2012 compared to 2011. Operating income per transaction declined to $0.04 for both second quarter and first half of 2012 and compared to $0.05 for the same periods of 2011, primarily due to the declines in operating income discussed above.
As discussed earlier, in our epay Brazil operations, operating expenses have increased significantly and revenues are expected to be negatively impacted by certain mobile operators' distribution strategies throughout 2012. To regain our desired profitability in Brazil, we are adjusting our strategy and making changes in the business to better align costs with its revenues. Additionally, we expect to introduce other electronic payment products in this market during 2013 to increase revenues. However, if we are unable to achieve adequate profitability within epay Brazil in the longer term, it is possible that the goodwill or other acquired intangible assets of this reporting unit could become impaired.
