CARDTRONICS PLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) General and Basis of Presentation
(a) General
Cardtronics plc, together with its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), provides convenient automated financial related services to consumers through its global network of automated teller machines and multi-function financial services kiosks (collectively referred to as “ATMs”). As of June 30, 2019 , Cardtronics was the world’s largest ATM owner/operator, providing services to over 290,000 ATMs globally, 26% of which are Company-owned.  
During the three months ended June 30, 2019 , approximately 62% of the Company’s revenues were derived from operations in North America (including its ATM operations in the United States ("U.S."), Canada, and Mexico), approximately 30% of the Company’s revenues were derived from operations in Europe and Africa (including its ATM operations in the United Kingdom ("U.K."), Ireland, Germany, Spain, and South Africa), and approximately 8% of the Company’s revenues were derived from the Company’s operations in Australia and New Zealand. As of June 30, 2019 , the Company provided processing only services or various forms of managed services solutions to approximately 204,000 ATMs. Under a managed services arrangement, retailers, financial institutions, and ATM distributors rely on Cardtronics to handle some or all of the operational aspects associated with operating and maintaining ATMs, typically in exchange for a monthly service fee, fee per transaction, or fee per service provided.
Through its network, the Company delivers financial related services to cardholders and provides ATM management and ATM equipment-related services (typically under multi-year contracts) to large retail merchants, smaller retailers, and operators of facilities such as shopping malls, airports, and train stations. In doing so, the Company provides its retail partners with a compelling automated solution that helps attract and retain customers, and in turn, increases the likelihood that the ATMs placed at their facilities will be utilized. The Company also owns and operates electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) transaction processing platforms that provide transaction processing services to its network of ATMs, as well as to other ATMs under managed services arrangements. Additionally, the Company provides processing services for issuers of debit cards.
In addition to its retail merchant relationships, the Company also partners with leading financial institutions to brand selected ATMs within its network. These financial institutions include BBVA Compass Bancshares, Inc., Citibank, N.A., Citizens Financial Group, Inc., Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc., Discover Bank, PNC Bank, N.A., Santander Bank, N.A., and TD Bank, N.A. in the U.S.; BMO Bank of Montreal, the Bank of Nova Scotia, Canadian Imperial Bank Commerce, and TD Bank in Canada; Deutsche Post Bank in Germany; ING Group in Spain; Capitec Bank in South Africa, and the Bank of Queensland Limited and HSBC Holdings plc in Australia. In Mexico, the Company partners with Scotiabank and Banco Multiva. As of June 30, 2019 , approximately 20,000 of the Company’s ATMs were under contract with approximately 500 financial institutions to place their logos on the ATMs and to provide convenient surcharge-free access for their banking customers.
The Company owns and operates the Allpoint network (“Allpoint”), the largest surcharge-free ATM network (based on the number of participating ATMs). Allpoint, which has approximately 55,000 participating ATMs, provides surcharge-free ATM access to approximately 1,200 participating credit unions, banks, and stored-value debit card issuers. For participants, Allpoint provides scale, density, and convenience of surcharge-free ATMs that surpasses the largest banks in the U.S. Allpoint earns either a fixed monthly fee per cardholder or a fixed fee per transaction that is paid by the participants. Allpoint includes a majority of the Company’s ATMs in the U.S. and certain ATMs in the U.K., Canada, Mexico, and Australia. Allpoint also provides services to organizations that manage stored-value debit card programs on behalf of corporate entities and governmental agencies, including general purpose, payroll, and electronic benefits transfer cards. Under these programs, the issuing organizations pay Allpoint a fee per issued stored-value debit card or per transaction in return for allowing the users of those cards surcharge-free access to Allpoint’s participating ATM network. 
The Company’s revenues are generally recurring in nature, and historically have been derived primarily from convenience transaction fees, which are paid by cardholders, as well as other transaction-based fees, including interchange fees, which are paid by the cardholder’s financial institution for the use of the ATMs serving their customers and connectivity to the applicable EFT network that transmits data between the ATM and the cardholder’s financial institution. Other revenue sources include: (i) fees from financial institutions that participate in Allpoint, (ii) fees for bank-branding ATMs and providing financial institution cardholders with surcharge-free access, (iii) revenues earned by providing managed services (including transaction processing services) solutions to retailers and financial institutions, (iv) fees earned from foreign currency exchange transactions at the ATM, known as dynamic currency conversion, and (v) revenues from the sale of ATMs and ATM-related equipment and other ancillary services.

(b) Basis of Presentation
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial information. As this is an interim period filing presented using a condensed format, it does not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”), although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. This Form 10-Q should be read along with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “ 2018 Form 10-K”), which includes a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures.
In management’s opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim and prior period results have been made. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.
The unaudited interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company owns a majority ( 95.7% ) interest in, and realizes a majority of the earnings and/or losses of, Cardtronics Mexico, S.A. de C.V., thus this entity is reflected as a consolidated subsidiary in the financial statements, with the remaining ownership interests not held by the Company being reflected as noncontrolling interests.
The preparation of the unaudited interim financial statements to conform with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of this Form 10-Q and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and these differences could be material to the financial statements.
(c) Cost of ATM Operating Revenues Presentation  
The Company presents the Cost of ATM operating revenues in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets related to ATMs and ATM-related assets.

(d) Restructuring Expenses
During 2017 and 2018, the Company implemented a global corporate reorganization and cost reduction initiative (the "2017 and 2018 Restructuring Plan”), intended to improve its cost structure and operating efficiency. The 2017 and 2018 Restructuring Plan included workforce reductions, facilities closures, contract terminations, and other cost reduction measures. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred pre-tax charges of $2.1 million and $4.5 million , respectively, related to the 2017 and 2018 Restructuring Plan, primarily consisting of employee severance.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred $3.5 million of pre-tax charges primarily consisting of professional fees, employee severance costs, and facility costs related to a planned reorganization (the "2019 Restructuring Plan").

(e) Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
For purposes of reporting financial condition, cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank and short-term deposit accounts. Additionally, the Company maintains cash on deposit with banks that is pledged for a particular use or restricted to support a liability. These balances are recorded in Restricted cash and/or Prepaid expenses, deferred costs, and other noncurrent assets lines in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets based on when the Company expects this cash to be paid. Current restricted cash primarily consists of amounts collected on behalf of, but not yet remitted to, certain of the Company’s merchant customers or third-party service providers. Restricted cash in current and noncurrent assets are offset by corresponding liability balances in the Accrued liabilities line in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The changes in the settlement liabilities corresponding to the changes in the balance of restricted cash during the six month period ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are presented in the Statements of Cash Flows within the (Decrease) increase in restricted cash liabilities line.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the ending cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances as of June 30, 2019 and 2018 , corresponding with the balances in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

(2) New Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Lease Accounting . The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases (the “Lease Standard”) as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach and using the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, financial information for dates and periods before January 1, 2019 have not been updated or recasted. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the Lease Standard, which allowed the Company to carry forward prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. In accordance with the Company's accounting policy, the Company elected not to exclude short-term leases for any of its vehicle and equipment leases, as the lease terms associated with our operating leases are routinely longer than 12 months. In addition, the Company elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for its ATM placement agreements that contain fixed payments and are deemed to contain an operating lease under the Lease Standard.

The Company’s adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of operating lease assets and liabilities of approximately $85 million and $95 million , respectively, as well as the derecognition of certain prepaid and deferred lease balances upon adoption. Upon adoption, this guidance had no impact on the Company's consolidated income from operations, net income, or cash flows.

Hedge Accounting. The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12” or the “Hedging Standard”) as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition approach, which requires the Company to account for ASU 2017-12 as of the date of adoption with any retrospective adjustments applicable to prior periods included as a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss and retained earnings. ASU 2017-12 amends and simplifies existing guidance in order to allow companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements. Upon adoption, this guidance had no impact on the Company's consolidated income from operations, net income, or cash flows.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements. This pronouncement, along with the ASUs issued to clarify certain provisions of ASU 2016-13, changes the impairment model for most financial assets and will require the use of an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net

presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019 and the Company plans to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2020.  We are currently evaluating the adoption of this guidance but do not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment, and provides other guidance on measuring a goodwill impairment loss. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those years, and early adoption is permitted. Cardtronics expects to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework (Topic 820): Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. This guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt this guidance in 2020. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. Revenue is recorded in ATM operating revenues and ATM product sales and other revenues line items in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
ATM operating revenues are recognized daily as the associated transactions are processed or monthly on a per ATM or per cardholder basis. For customer contracts that provide for up-front fees that do not pertain to a distinct performance obligation, such fees are recognized over the term of the underlying agreement on a straight-line basis. ATM product sales and other revenues are recognized when the related performance obligations are fulfilled upon transfer of control of goods or services to the customer.
ATM operating revenues. The Company presents revenues from automated consumer financial services, bank-branding and surcharge-free network offerings, managed services and other services in the ATM operating revenues line in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s ATM operating revenues consist of the following:
Surcharge revenue . Surcharge revenues are received in the form of a fee paid by a cardholder who has made a cash withdrawal from an ATM. Surcharge fees can vary widely based on the location of the ATM and the nature of the contracts negotiated with our merchants. In the U.S. and Canada, the Company does not receive surcharge fees from cardholders whose financial institutions participate in a surcharge-free network or have branded a location; instead, the Company receives interchange and bank-branding or surcharge-free network-branding revenues, which are discussed below. For certain ATMs, primarily those owned and operated by merchants, the Company does not receive any portion of the surcharge but rather the entire surcharge fee is earned by the merchant. In the U.K., ATM deployers operate their ATMs on either a free-to-use (surcharge-free) or a pay-to-use (surcharge) basis. On free-to-use ATMs in the U.K., the Company earns interchange revenue on withdrawal and certain other transactions. These fees are paid by the cardholder’s financial institution. On pay-to-use ATMs in the U.K., the Company only earns a surcharge fee paid by the cardholder on withdrawal transactions, and interchange is only paid by the cardholder’s financial institution on other non-withdrawal transaction types. In Germany, Australia, and

16


Mexico, the Company collects surcharge fees on withdrawal transactions but generally does not receive interchange revenue. In South Africa, the Company generally earns interchange revenues only, the amount of which varies by transaction type and customer arrangement. Surcharge revenues, as described above, are recognized daily as the associated transactions are processed.
Interchange revenue. An interchange fee is a fee paid by the cardholder’s financial institution for its customer’s use of an ATM that is owned by another operator and for the fee the EFT network charges to transmit data between the ATM and the cardholder’s financial institution. The Company typically receives a majority of the interchange fee paid by the cardholder’s financial institution, net of the amount retained by the EFT network and the Company recognizes the net amount received from the network as revenue. In some markets in which the Company operates, interchange fees are earned not only on cash withdrawal transactions but also on other ATM transactions, including balance inquiries and balance transfers. Interchange revenues are subject to various arrangements and are recognized daily as the associated transactions are processed.
Bank-branding and surcharge-free network revenues. Under a bank-branding arrangement, ATMs that are Company-owned and operated are branded with the logo of the branding financial institution. In exchange for a monthly per ATM fee, the financial institution’s customers gain access to use these bank-branded ATMs without paying a surcharge. Under the Company’s Allpoint surcharge-free network, financial institutions that participate pay either a fixed monthly fee per cardholder or a fixed fee per transaction so that cardholders gain surcharge-free access to our large network of ATMs. Bank-branding and surcharge-free network revenues are generally recognized monthly on a per ATM or per cardholder basis, except for transaction-based fee arrangements which are recognized daily as they occur. Any up-front fees associated with these arrangements are recognized ratably over the life of the arrangement.
Managed services and processing revenues . Under managed service agreements, the Company provides various forms of ATM-related services, including monitoring, maintenance, cash management, cash delivery, customer service, on-screen advertising, processing and other services to merchants, financial institutions, and third-party ATM operators. Under processing arrangements, the Company provides transaction processing services to merchants, financial institutions, and third-party operators. Under managed services and processing arrangements, surcharge and interchange fees are generally earned by the customer and the Company typically receives a fixed fee per transaction and/or a periodic management fee per ATM in return for providing the agreed-upon operating services. The managed services and processing fees are recognized as the related services are provided to the customers.
Other disclosures. The Company’s bank-branding, surcharge-free network, and managed services arrangements result in the Company providing a series of distinct services that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. As a result, these arrangements create singular performance obligations that are satisfied over-time (generally 3 - 5 years ) for which the Company has a right to consideration that corresponds directly with the value of the entity’s performance completed to date. In conjunction with these arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue in the amount it has a right to receive. Variable consideration may exist in these arrangements and is recognized only to the extent a significant reversal is not probable.
ATM product sales and other revenues. The Company presents revenues from other product sales and services in the ATM product sales and other revenues line in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company earns revenues from the sale of ATMs and ATM-related equipment as well as the delivery of other non-transaction-based services. Revenues related to these activities are recognized when the equipment is delivered to the customer and the Company has completed all required installation and set-up procedures. With respect to the sale of ATMs to Value-Added-Resellers (“VARs”), the Company recognizes revenues related to such sales when the equipment is delivered to the VAR.
Due to the transactional nature of the Company’s revenue, there are no significant judgments that affect the determination of the amount and timing of its revenues.
Contract Balances
As of June 30, 2019 , the Company has recognized no significant contract assets. Accounts receivables that relate to completed performance obligations are recognized on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities totaled $8.2 million and $8.4 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. These amounts represent deferred revenues for advance consideration received primarily in relation to bank-branding and surcharge-free network arrangements. The revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 on previously deferred revenues was not material. The Company expects to recognize the revenue associated with its contract liabilities ratably over various periods extending over the next 36 months . During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company did not recognize any significant impairment losses related to its accounts receivable or contract assets.

17


Contract Cost
The Company expects that the incremental commissions paid to sales personnel, together with other associated costs, are recoverable, and therefore, the Company capitalizes these amounts as deferred contract acquisition costs. Deferred contract acquisition costs totaled $7.8 million and $7.9 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Sales commissions capitalized are generally amortized over a 4 - 5 year period corresponding with the related agreements. Similarly, and consistent with past practice, the costs incurred to fulfill a contract, primarily consisting of prepaid merchant commissions and other consideration paid or provided to merchant partners, are capitalized and recognized over the duration of the related contract. The Company does not capitalize the costs of obtaining a contract if the associated contract is one year or less.
(4) Share-based Compensation  
The Company accounts for its share-based compensation by recognizing the grant date fair value of share-based awards, net of estimated forfeitures, as share-based compensation expense over the underlying requisite service periods of the related awards. The grant date fair value is based upon the Company's share price on the date of the grant.
The following table reflects the total share-based compensation expense amounts reported in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , total share-based compensation expense increased by $1.7 million and $3.8 million compared to the same periods of 2018 , respectively. This increase is attributable to the amount, timing and terms of share-based payment awards granted during the periods, net of estimated forfeitures.
Restricted Stock Units. The Company grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under its Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), which is an annual equity award program under the Fourth Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. The ultimate number of RSUs, that are determined to be earned under the LTIP are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors ("Board"), based on the Company’s achievement of previously specified performance levels at the end of the associated performance period. RSU grants are service-based (“Time-RSUs”), performance-based (“Performance-RSUs”), or market-based (“Market-Based-RSUs”). Each is recognized ratably over the associated service period. For Time-RSUs and Market-Based-RSUs, the Company recognizes the related compensation expense based on the grant date fair value. The grant date fair value of the Time-Based RSUs is the Company's closing stock price on the date of grant while the grant date fair value of the Market-Based-RSUs is derived from a Monte Carlo simulation. For Performance-RSUs, the Company recognizes the related compensation expense based on the estimated performance levels that management believes will ultimately be met. Time-RSUs are convertible into the Company’s common shares upon passage of the annual graded vesting periods, which begin 1 - 2 years after the grant date and extend 3 - 4 years . Performance-RSUs and Market-Based RSUs will be earned to the extent the Company achieves the associated performance-based or market-based vesting conditions and these awards are convertible into the Company’s common shares after the passage of the vesting periods which extend 3 - 4 years from the grant date. Although these RSUs are not considered to be earned and outstanding until the vesting conditions are met, the Company recognizes the related compensation expense over the requisite service period (or to an employee’s qualified retirement date, if earlier) using a graded vesting methodology. RSUs may also be granted outside of LTIPs, with or without performance-based vesting requirements.
The number of the Company’s earned non-vested RSUs as of June 30, 2019 , and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2019 , are presented below:

Time-RSUs are included in the listing of outstanding RSUs as granted.
As of June 30, 2019 , the unrecognized compensation expense associated with earned RSUs was $15.5 million , which will be recognized using a graded vesting schedule for Performance-RSUs and a straight-line vesting schedule for Time-RSUs, over a remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 1.84 weighted average remaining life years.

(5) Earnings Per Share
The Company reports its earnings per share under the two-class method. Under this method, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share (as well as their related impact on the net income available to common shareholders) when their impact on net income available to common shareholders is anti-dilutive.
Potentially dilutive securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 included all outstanding stock options and RSUs, which were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for these periods. The potentially dilutive effect of outstanding warrants and the underlying shares exercisable under the Company’s $287.5 million of 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Convertible Notes”) were excluded from diluted shares outstanding as the exercise price exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common shares. The effect of the note hedge, described in Note 9. Long-Term Debt, was also excluded as the effect is anti-dilutive.

(6) Shareholders' Equity
Share Repurchases. On March 26, 2019, the Company announced that its Board had authorized a share repurchase program, under which it is authorized to repurchase up to  $50 million  of its Class A ordinary shares through August 31, 2020. Share repurchases under the authorized plan may be effected on behalf of the Company through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, pursuant to SEC trading rules. The timing and extent of repurchases will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, valuation of shares, regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations, and repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company repurchased and canceled 677,679 shares of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares at a weighted average price of $29.51 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $20.1 million .

The Company records unrealized gains and losses related to its interest rate swap and foreign currency forward contracts net of taxes, in the Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net line within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net are recognized in the Cost of ATM operating revenues, Interest expense, net, or Other (income) expense lines in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company has elected the portfolio approach for the deferred tax asset of the unrealized gains and losses related to the interest rate swap and foreign currency forward contracts in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under the portfolio approach, the disproportionate tax effect created when the valuation allowance was appropriately released as a tax benefit into continuing operations in 2010, will reverse out of the Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net line within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and into continuing operations as a tax expense when the Company ceases to hold any interest rate swap contracts. As of June 30, 2019 , the disproportionate tax effect is $14.6 million .
The Company currently believes that the unremitted earnings of certain of its subsidiaries will be reinvested for an indefinite period of time. Accordingly, no deferred taxes have been provided for the differences between the Company’s book basis and underlying tax basis in these subsidiaries or on the foreign currency translation adjustment amounts.

Revolving Credit Facility  
The Company's second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) provides the Company with a $600.0 million revolving credit facility maturing on November 19, 2023, which includes an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the available borrowings under the credit facility to $700.0 million by obtaining increased commitments from one or more existing lenders or one or more additional lenders that become party to the Credit Agreement and who consent at such time to providing additional commitments. In addition, the credit facility includes a sub-limit of up to $150.0 million for letters of credit and a sub-limit of up to $50.0 million for swingline loans.
The total commitments under the credit facility can be borrowed in U.S. dollars, alternative currencies (including Euros, U.K. pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars and South African rand), or a combination thereof. Borrowings (not including swingline loans) accrue interest, at the Company’s option and based on the type of currency borrowed, at the Alternate Base Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate, the Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate or the Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate (each, as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin depending on the Company’s most recent Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The margin for Alternative Base Rate loans and Canadian Prime Rate loans varies between 0% and 0.75% , and the margin for Adjusted LIBO Rate loans, Canadian Dealer Offered Rate

23


loans, Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate loans and Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate Loans varies between 1.00% and 1.75% . Swingline loans denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus a margin as described above, swingline loans denominated in Canadian dollars bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus a margin as described above and swingline loans denominated in other alternative currencies bear interest at the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus the applicable margin for the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate or the Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate, as applicable.
Each of the Credit Facility Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has guaranteed the full and punctual payment of the obligations under the revolving credit facility and the obligations under the revolving credit facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Credit Facility Guarantors. In addition, the obligations of the CFC Borrowers (as defined in the Credit Agreement) are guaranteed by the CFC Guarantors and secured by substantially all of the assets of the CFC Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
The Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for similar credit arrangements, including, among other things, covenants relating to: (i) financial reporting and notification, (ii) payment of obligations, (iii) compliance with applicable laws, (iv) notification of certain events, and (v) certain covenants relating to, among other things, the sale or transfer of assets, fundamental changes, incurrence or guarantee of indebtedness, liens, investments, hedging transactions with affiliates and sale and leaseback transactions. Financial covenants in the Credit Agreement require the Company to maintain: (i) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, a Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no more than 4.25 to 1.00, and (ii) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no less than 3.00 to 1.00. Additionally, the Company is limited on the amount of restricted payments; however, the Company may generally make restricted payments so long as no event of default exists at the time of such payment and the Total Net Leverage Ratio is less than 3.75 to 1.00 at the time such restricted payment is made.
As of June 30, 2019 , the Company had $212.8 million of outstanding borrowings under its $600.0 million revolving credit facility and was in compliance with all applicable covenants and ratios under the Credit Agreement. The Company also had $10.7 million outstanding in letters of credit. The weighted average interest rates on the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility were 2.6% and 2.8% , as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
$287.5 million 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2020 and Related Equity Instruments
On November 19, 2013, Cardtronics, Inc. issued the Convertible Notes at par value. Cardtronics, Inc. received $254.2 million in net proceeds from the offering after deducting underwriting fees paid to the initial purchasers and a repurchase of 665,994 of its outstanding common shares concurrent with the offering. Cardtronics, Inc. used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to fund the net cost of the convertible note hedge transaction, as described below. The convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were entered into concurrent with the pricing of the Convertible Notes. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 1st and December 1st of each year. Under U.S. GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion are required to be separately accounted for as liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. The Company, with assistance from a valuation professional, determined that the fair value of the debt component was $215.8 million and the fair value of the embedded option was $71.7 million as of the issuance date. The Company recognizes effective interest expense on the debt component and that interest expense effectively accretes the debt component to the total principal amount due at maturity of $287.5 million . The effective rate of interest to accrete the debt balance is approximately 5.26% , which corresponded to the Company’s estimated conventional debt instrument borrowing rate at the date of issuance.
On July 1, 2016, Cardtronics plc, Cardtronics, Inc., and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, entered into a supplemental indenture (the “Convertible Notes Supplemental Indenture”) with respect to the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes Supplemental Indenture provides for the unconditional and irrevocable guarantee by Cardtronics plc of the prompt payment, when due, of any amount owed to the holders of the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes Supplemental Indenture also provides that, from and after July 1, 2016, the Convertible Notes will be convertible into shares of Cardtronics plc in lieu of common share of Cardtronics, Inc.
The Convertible Notes have a conversion price of $52.35 per share, which equals a conversion rate of 19.1022 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, for a total of approximately 5.5 million shares underlying the debt. The conversion rate, however, is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Conversion can occur: (i) any time on or after September 1, 2020, (ii) after March 31, 2014, during any calendar quarter that follows a calendar quarter in which the price of the shares exceeds 135% of the conversion price for at least 20 days during the 30  consecutive trading-day period ending on the last trading day of the quarter, (iii) during the ten consecutive trading-day period following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price of the Convertible Notes is less than 98% of the closing price of the shares multiplied by the applicable conversion

24


rate on each such trading day, (iv) upon specified distributions to Cardtronics plc’s shareholders upon recapitalizations, reclassifications, or changes in shares, and (v) upon a make-whole fundamental change. A fundamental change is defined as any one of the following: (i) any person or group that acquires 50% or more of the total voting power of all classes of common equity that is entitled to vote generally in the election of Cardtronics plc’s directors, (ii) Cardtronics plc engages in any recapitalization, reclassification, or changes of common shares as a result of which the shares would be converted into or exchanged for, shares, other securities, other assets, or property, (iii) Cardtronics plc engages in any share exchange, consolidation, or merger where the shares converted into cash, securities, or other property, (iv) the Company engages in certain sales, leases, or other transfers of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets, or (v) Cardtronics plc’s shares are not listed for trading on any U.S. national securities exchange.
None of the Convertible Notes were deemed convertible as of June 30, 2019 , and therefore, remain classified in the Long-term debt line in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2019 . In future financial reporting periods, the classification of the Convertible Notes may change depending on whether any of the above contingent criteria have been subsequently satisfied.
Upon conversion, holders of the Convertible Notes are entitled to receive cash, shares, or a combination of cash and shares, at the Company’s election. In the event of a change in control, as defined in the indenture under which the Convertible Notes have been issued, holders can require Cardtronics, Inc. to purchase all or a portion of their Convertible Notes for 100% of the notes’ par value plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, Cardtronics, Inc. entered into separate convertible note hedge and warrant transactions to reduce the potential dilutive impact upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes. The net effect of these transactions effectively raised the price at which dilution would occur from the $52.35 initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes to $73.29 . Pursuant to the convertible note hedge, Cardtronics, Inc. purchased call options granting Cardtronics Inc. the right to acquire up to approximately 5.50 million common shares with an initial strike price of $52.35 . The call options automatically become exercisable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, and will terminate on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding December 1, 2020. Cardtronics Inc. also sold to the initial purchasers warrants to acquire up to approximately 5.50 million common shares with a strike price of $73.29 . The warrants will expire incrementally on a series of expiration dates subsequent to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes through August 30, 2021. If the conversion price of the Convertible Notes remains between the strike prices of the call options and warrants, Cardtronics plc’s shareholders will not experience any dilution in connection with the conversion of the Convertible Notes; however, to the extent that the price of the shares exceeds the strike price of the warrants on any or all of the series of related expiration dates of the warrants, Cardtronics plc would be required to issue additional shares to the warrant holders. The amounts allocated to both the note hedge and warrants were recorded in the Shareholders’ equity section in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

$300.0 million 5.50% Senior Notes Due 2025
On April 4, 2017, in a private placement offering, Cardtronics Inc. and Cardtronics USA, Inc. (the “2025 Notes Issuers”) issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes pursuant to an indenture dated April 4, 2017 (the “2025 Notes Indenture”) among the 2025 Notes Issuers, Cardtronics plc, and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors (each, a “2025 Notes Guarantor”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.
Interest on the 2025 Notes accrues from April 4, 2017, the date of issuance, at the rate of 5.50% per annum. Interest on the 2025 Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on May 1st and November 1st of each year with the initial payment having commenced on November 1, 2017.  
The 2025 Notes and the related guarantees (the “2025 Guarantees”) are the general unsecured senior obligations of each of the 2025 Notes Issuers and the 2025 Notes Guarantors, respectively, and rank: (i) equally in right of payment with all of the 2025 Notes Issuers’ and the 2025 Notes Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness and (ii) senior in right of payment to all of the 2025 Notes Issuers’ and the 2025 Notes Guarantors’ future subordinated indebtedness. The 2025 Notes and the 2025 Guarantees are effectively subordinated to any of the 2025 Notes Issuers’ and the 2025 Notes Guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the collateral securing such debt, including all borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The 2025 Notes are structurally subordinated to all liabilities of any of Cardtronics plc’s subsidiaries (excluding the 2025 Notes Issuers) that do not guarantee the 2025 Notes.
The 2025 Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit the 2025 Notes Issuers’ ability and the ability of Cardtronics plc and certain of its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, make certain investments, or pay dividends or distributions on Cardtronics plc’s common shares or repurchase common shares or make certain other restricted payments, consolidate or merge with or into other companies, conduct asset sales, restrict dividends or other payments by restricted subsidiaries, engage in transactions with affiliates or related persons, and create liens.
Obligations under the 2025 Notes are fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Cardtronics plc and certain of its subsidiaries and certain of its future subsidiaries, with the exception of Cardtronics plc’s immaterial subsidiaries and CFC Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement). There are no significant restrictions on the ability of Cardtronics plc to obtain funds from Cardtronics Inc., Cardtronics USA, Inc., or the other 2025 Notes Guarantors by dividend or loan. None of the 2025 Notes Guarantors’ assets represent restricted assets pursuant to Rule 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X.
The 2025 Notes are subject to certain automatic customary releases with respect to the 2025 Notes Guarantors (other than Cardtronics plc, Cardtronics Holdings Limited, and CATM Holdings LLC), including the sale, disposition, or transfer of the common shares or substantially all of the assets of such 2025 Notes Guarantor, designation of such 2025 Notes Guarantor as unrestricted in accordance with the 2025 Notes Indenture, exercise of the legal defeasance option or the covenant defeasance option, liquidation, or dissolution of such 2025 Notes Guarantor. The 2025 Notes Guarantors, including Cardtronics plc, may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their properties or assets to, or consolidate with or merge into, another company if such a sale would cause a default under the 2025 Notes Indenture and certain other specified requirements under the 2025 Notes Indenture are not satisfied.
(10) Asset Retirement Obligations  
Asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) consist primarily of costs to deinstall the Company’s ATMs and, in some cases, restore the ATM sites to their original condition, which are estimated based on current market rates. In most cases, the Company is contractually required to perform this deinstallation of its owned ATMs, and in some cases, site restoration work. For each group of similar ATM types, the Company has recognized the estimated fair value of the ARO as a liability in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and capitalized that cost as part of the cost basis of the related asset. The related assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets estimated useful life, which is the estimated average time period that an ATM is installed in a location before being deinstalled, and the related liabilities are accreted to their full value over the same period of time.

(11) Leases  

The Company leases facilities consisting of office and warehouse space as well as vehicles and office equipment. In addition, certain ATM placement agreements are deemed to contain an operating lease of merchant space under the Lease Standard. The Company's facility leases have various remaining terms extending up to 12 years , some of which may include one or more options to extend the associated lease term by up to 5 - 10 years , and some may include options for the Company or the lessor to terminate the leases prior to the end of the lease term. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's discretion. From time to time, the Company may sublease office or warehouse space. This sublease activity is currently not significant. The Company's vehicle and office equipment leases currently have remaining lease terms extending up to 4 years and these leases typically have original terms of approximately 4 - 6 years . The Company has not historically extended its vehicle and office equipment leases beyond their original term. Similarly, the Company has not historically subleased these assets. The Company's ATM placement agreements that are deemed to contain an operating lease of merchant space under the Lease Standard have remaining terms extending from less than 1 year to more than 5 years . These consist of semi-permanent or through-the-wall placements of company-owned ATMs at merchant or financial institution locations. These arrangements are deemed to contain a lease as our counterparty lacks the practical ability to substitute alternative space. The renewal provisions under ATM placement agreements vary.

The Company's ATM placement agreements that are deemed to contain an operating lease generally require fixed and/or variable merchant commissions. The variable payments are based on the type and volume of transactions conducted on the ATMs at each respective location. In addition, the merchant commissions may also change, in accordance with the terms of these agreements, responsive to changes in interchange fees or interest rates. Certain Company facility leases require variable payments based on an index or based on external market rates. The Company's vehicle and office equipment leases do not generally include variable payments.

The Company recognizes the accounting impact of lease extension options when reasonably certain that a right to extend a lease will be exercised. The Company does not provide residual value guarantees within or in conjunction with any of its leases. As of June 30, 2019, all material leases of facilities, vehicles, office equipment, and merchant space had commenced.

The Company is not currently party to any significant finance leases. As a result, the net assets recorded under finance leases and the associated liabilities are not material.

See Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements for the accounting impact of the Company's adoption of ASC 842-Leases on January 1, 2019.

(13) Derivative Financial Instruments  
Risk Management Objectives of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk associated with its vault cash rental obligations and, to a lesser extent, borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Company utilizes varying notional amount interest rate swap contracts and interest rate cap agreements (“Interest Rate Derivatives”) to manage the interest rate risk associated with its vault cash rental obligations in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia. The Company has also entered into an interest rate swap to mitigate its exposure to floating interest rates on its revolving credit facility borrowings outstanding. The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to its operations outside the U.S. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its foreign exchange rate risk associated with certain anticipated transactions. Currently, the Company has outstanding foreign currency forward contracts for the purchase of approximately $1.8 million Canadian dollars with durations that extend through September 30, 2019.

The Company’s Interest Rate Derivatives serve to mitigate interest rate risk by converting a portion of the Company’s monthly floating-rate vault cash rental payments to either monthly fixed-rate vault cash rental payments or to vault cash rental payments with a capped rate. Typically, the Company receives monthly floating-rate payments from its Interest Rate Derivative counterparties that correspond to, in all material respects, the monthly floating-rate payments required by the Company to its vault cash rental providers for the portion of the average outstanding vault cash balances that have been hedged. The floating-rate payments may or may not be capped or limited. In return, the Company pays its counterparties a monthly fixed-rate amount based on the same notional amounts outstanding. By converting the vault cash rental obligation interest rate from a floating-rate to a fixed-rate or a capped rate, the impact of favorable and unfavorable changes in future interest rates on the monthly vault cash rental payments recognized in the Cost of ATM operating revenues line in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations, has been reduced.
There is never an exchange of the underlying principal or notional amounts associated with the interest rate swap contracts described above. Additionally, none of the Company’s existing interest rate swap contracts contain credit-risk-related contingent features.

Accounting Policy  
The Interest Rate Derivatives discussed above are used by the Company to hedge exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributable to a particular risk; therefore, they are designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments. The Company does not currently hold any derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges, or hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation.
In accordance with the new Hedging Standard, the Company reports the gain or loss related to each highly effective cash flow hedging instrument, including any ineffectiveness, as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassifies the gain or loss into earnings within the Cost of ATM operating revenues, Interest expense, net, or Other expense (income) lines of the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects and has been forecasted in earnings. The classification of the gain or loss is determined based on the associated hedge designation.
As discussed above, the Company generally utilizes fixed-for-floating Interest Rate Derivatives where the underlying pricing terms of the cash flow hedging instrument agree, in all material respects, with the pricing terms of the vault cash rental obligations to the Company’s vault cash providers. Therefore, the amount of ineffectiveness associated with the Interest Rate Derivatives has historically been immaterial. If the Company concludes 1) the vault cash obligations that have been hedged are no longer probable or 2) that underlying terms of the vault cash rental agreements have changed such that they do not sufficiently agree to the pricing terms of the Interest Rate Derivatives, the Interest Rate Derivative contracts would be deemed ineffective. The Company does not currently anticipate terminating or modifying terms of its existing derivative instruments prior to their expiration dates.
Accordingly, the Company recognizes all of its Interest Rate Derivative contracts as assets or liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and any changes in the fair values of the related Interest Rate Derivative contracts have been reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unrealized gains and losses related to the interest rate swap contracts have been reported net of taxes in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. For additional information related to the Company’s interest rate swap contracts with respect to its fair value measurements, see Note 14. Fair Value Measurements .

(14) Fair Value Measurements  
The following tables provide the financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 using the fair value hierarchy prescribed by U.S. GAAP. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 refers to fair values determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 refers to fair values estimated using significant non-observable inputs. An asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , liabilities associated with Level 2 interest rate swap contracts also includes an insignificant amount related to foreign currency forward contracts.
Below are descriptions of the Company’s valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The methods described below may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, prepaid expenses, deferred costs, and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities. These financial instruments are not carried at fair value, but are carried at amounts that approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk.

34


Acquisition related intangible assets. The estimated fair values of acquisition related intangible assets are valued based on a discounted cash flows analysis using significant non-observable (Level 3) inputs. Intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. An assessment of non-amortized intangible assets is performed on an annual basis or more frequently based on the occurrence of events that might indicate a potential impairment.
Acquisition related contingent consideration. Liabilities from acquisition related contingent consideration are estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation and market observable, as well as internal projections, and other significant non-observable inputs (Level 3) based on the Company’s best estimate of future operational results upon which the payment of these obligations are contingent. Future changes to the estimated contingent liability either higher or lower may occur as the estimated internal projections and other significant non-observable inputs for the calculation become available and are updated as deemed necessary. These future updates could result in a material change in the estimated contingent liability. The estimates and significant non-observable inputs may differ from actual results. As the estimated contingent liability is based upon performance relative to certain agreed upon earnings targets in 2019 and 2020, the performance based payments are expected to occur in 2020 and 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2019 , the estimated fair value of the Company’s acquisition related contingent consideration liability was approximately $30.3 million . Based on current forecasts, the Company estimates that approximately $6.8 million of the total aggregate estimated liability will be paid in the first quarter of 2020 with the remaining amount being paid in the first quarter of 2021. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company recognized an $0.5 million gain and $8.7 million gain in Other (income) expense to revise the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability. The foreign exchange losses recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , to remeasure the South African Rand denominated liability to U.S. Dollars were both approximately $0.8 million . Both the revision to the estimated fair value and the foreign exchange adjustments are included in the Other income line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Long-term debt . The carrying amount of the long-term debt balance related to borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility approximates fair value due to the fact that any outstanding borrowings are subject to short-term floating interest rates. As of June 30, 2019 , the fair value of our 2020 Notes and 2025 Notes totaled $277.7 million and $298.7 million respectively, based on the quoted prices in markets that are not active inputs (Level 2) for these notes as of that date. For additional information related to long-term debt, see Note 9. Long-Term Debt.
Additions to asset retirement obligations liability. The Company estimates the fair value of additions to its ARO liability using expected discounted future cash flow at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Liabilities added to the ARO are measured at fair value at the time of the asset installations using significant non-observable (Level 3) inputs. These liabilities are evaluated periodically based on estimated current fair value. Amounts added to the ARO liability during the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $2.2 million .
Interest rate derivatives and foreign currency forward contracts. As of June 30, 2019 , the recognized fair value of the Company’s Interest Rate Derivatives resulted in an asset of $1.8 million and a liability of $19.1 million (including an insignificant amount related to foreign currency forward contracts). These financial instruments are carried at fair value and are valued using pricing models based on significant other observable inputs (Level 2), while taking into account the creditworthiness of the party that is in the liability position with respect to each trade. For additional information related to the valuation process of this asset or liability, see Note 13. Derivative Financial Instruments .
(15) Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company has provided reserves where necessary for contingent liabilities, based on ASC 450, contingencies, when it has determined that a liability is probable and reasonably estimable. The Company’s management does not expect the outcome in any legal proceedings or claims, individually or collectively, to have a material adverse financial or operational impact on the Company. Additionally, the Company currently expenses all legal costs as they are incurred.
Other Commitments
Asset retirement obligations. The Company’s ARO consist primarily of costs to deinstall the Company’s ATMs and to restore the ATM sites to their original condition. In most cases, the Company is contractually required to perform this deinstallation of its owned ATMs, and in some cases, site restoration work. As of June 30, 2019 , the Company had $61.1 million accrued for these liabilities. For additional information, see Note 10. Asset Retirement Obligations .

35


Acquisition related contingent consideration. As of June 30, 2019 , the Company had $30.3 million accrued for the Spark acquisition related contingent consideration. For additional information related to the Spark acquisition related contingent consideration, s ee Note 14. Fair Value Measurements.
(16) Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $3.6 million , resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.4% , compared to an expense of $2.6 million , and an effective tax rate of 40.7% , for the same period of 2018. The Company’s income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $6.7 million , resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.2% , compared to an expense of $2.6 million , and an effective tax rate of 72.1% , for the same period of 2018. The increase in the tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 , compared to the same period of 2018, was primarily attributable to increased profits in the current period, partially offset by tax benefits from the utilization of interest deductions disallowed in the prior year.

During quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded an uncertain tax benefit of $2.4 million , of which $1.5 million was for net operating losses generated in prior years with an associated valuation allowance, and $0.5 million was for a deferred tax asset for the related US federal tax benefit. A net amount of $0.4 million of this uncertain tax benefit was recorded to tax expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

The Company assesses the need for any deferred tax asset valuation allowances at the end of each reporting period. The determination of whether a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is needed is subject to considerable judgment and requires an evaluation of all available positive and negative evidence. The Company’s assessment concluded that maintaining valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in Australia, Canada, Mexico, and Spain was appropriate, as the Company currently believes that it is more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The deferred tax expenses and benefits associated with the Company’s net unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments and foreign currency translation adjustments have been recorded in the Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net line in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(17) Segment Information
As of June 30, 2019 , the Company’s operations consisted of its North America, Europe & Africa, and Australia & New Zealand segments. The Company’s ATM operations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico are included in its North America segment. The North America segment also includes the Company’s transaction processing operations, which service its internal ATM operations, along with external customers. The Company’s ATM operations in the U.K., Ireland, Germany, Spain, and South Africa are included in its Europe & Africa segment, along with i-design (the Company’s ATM advertising business based in the U.K.). The Company’s Australia & New Zealand segment consists of its ATM operations in these two countries. Corporate primarily includes the Company’s corporate general and administrative expenses. While each of the reporting segments provides similar kiosk-based and/or ATM-related services, each segment is managed separately and requires different marketing and business strategies.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITA, together with U.S. GAAP measures, to manage and measure the performance of its segments. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITA are useful measures as they allow management to more effectively evaluate the performance of the business and compare its results of operations from period to period without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or non-recurring costs as defined by the Company. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITA exclude amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, certain non-operating expenses, (if applicable in a particular period), certain costs not anticipated to occur in future periods, gains or losses on disposal and impairment of assets, the Company’s obligations for the payment of income taxes, interest expense, and other obligations such as capital expenditures, and an adjustment for noncontrolling interests. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and accretion expense. Depreciation and accretion expense and amortization of intangible assets are excluded

36


as these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within the Company’s industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, and the methods by which the assets were acquired.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITA, as defined by the Company, are non-GAAP financial measures provided as a complement to financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. In evaluating the Company’s performance as measured by Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITA, management recognizes and considers the limitations of these measurements. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITA are only two of the measurements that management utilizes. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities, or other income or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The 2025 Notes are fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Cardtronics plc and certain of its subsidiaries and certain of its future subsidiaries, with the exception of Cardtronics plc’s immaterial subsidiaries and CFC Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The guarantees of the 2025 Notes by any Guarantor are subject to automatic and customary releases upon: (i) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor, (ii) the disposition of sufficient capital stock of the Guarantor so that it no longer qualifies under the Indenture as a restricted subsidiary of the Company, (iii) the designation of the Guarantor as an unrestricted subsidiary in accordance with the Indenture, (iv) the legal or covenant defeasance of the notes or the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, (v) the liquidation or dissolution of the Guarantor, or (vi) provided the Guarantor is not wholly-owned by the Company, its ceasing to guarantee other debt of the Company or another Guarantor. A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into, another company (other than the Company or another Guarantor), unless no default under the Indenture exists and either the successor to the Guarantor assumes its guarantee of the 2025 Notes or the disposition, consolidation, or merger complies with the “Asset Sales” covenant in the Indenture.

(19) Concentration Risk
Significant merchant customers. During the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company derived approximately 24% of its total revenues from ATMs placed at the locations of its top five merchant customers. The Company’s top five merchant customers, none accounting for more than 7% of total revenue for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2019 , were Co-operative Food (in the U.K.), CVS Caremark Corporation, Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. (in the U.S. and Canada), Speedway LLC, and Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. Accordingly, a significant percentage of the Company’s future revenues and operating income will be dependent upon the successful continuation of its relationship with these merchants.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions thereof. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “project,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “contemplate,” “foresee,” “would,” “could,” “plan,” and similar expressions that are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are generally not historical in nature. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on the Company. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those that are anticipated. All comments concerning the Company’s expectations for future revenues and operating results are based on its estimates for its existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions. The Company’s forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond its control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from its historical experience and present expectations or projections. Known material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include:
the Company’s financial outlook and the financial outlook of the automated teller machines and multi-function financial services kiosks (collectively, “ATMs”) industry and the continued usage of cash by consumers at rates near historical patterns;
the Company’s ability to respond to recent and future network and regulatory changes;
the Company’s ability to renew its existing merchant relationships on comparable or improved economic terms and add new merchants;
changes in interest rates and foreign currency rates;
the Company’s ability to successfully manage its existing international operations and to continue to expand internationally;
the Company’s ability to manage concentration risks with and changes in the mix of key customers, merchants, vendors, and service providers;
the Company’s ability to prevent thefts of cash and maintain adequate insurance;
the Company’s ability to manage cybersecurity risks and protect against cyber-attacks and manage and prevent cyber incidents, data breaches or losses, or other business disruptions;
the Company’s ability to respond to changes implemented by networks and how they determine interchange, and potential reductions in the amount of net interchange that it receives from global and regional debit networks due to pricing changes implemented by those networks as well as changes in how issuers route their ATM transactions over those networks;
the Company’s ability to provide new ATM solutions to retailers and financial institutions including the demand for any such new ATM solutions as well as its ability to place additional banks’ brands on ATMs currently deployed;
the Company’s ATM vault cash rental needs, including potential liquidity issues with its vault cash providers and its ability to continue to secure vault cash rental agreements in the future and once secured, on reasonable economic terms;
the Company’s ability to manage the risks associated with its third-party service providers failing to perform their contractual obligations;
the Company’s ability to renew its existing third-party service provider relationships on comparable or improved economic terms;
the Company’s ability to successfully implement and evolve its corporate strategy;
the Company’s ability to compete successfully with new and existing competitors;
the Company’s ability to meet the service levels required by its service level agreements with its customers;
the additional risks the Company is exposed to in its United Kingdom (“U.K.”) armored transport business;
the Company’s ability to pursue, complete, and successfully integrate acquisitions, strategic alliances, or joint ventures;
the impact of changes in laws, including tax laws, that could adversely affect the Company’s business and profitability;
the impact of, or uncertainty related to, the U.K.’s planned exit from the European Union, including any material adverse effect on the tax, tax treaty, currency, operational, legal, human, and regulatory regime and macro-economic environment to which it will be subject to as a U.K. company;
the Company's ability to manage the potential impact of a determination to make changes to LIBOR, if any;
the Company’s ability to adequately maintain and upgrade its ATM fleet to address changes in industry standards, regulations and consumer behavior patterns;
the Company’s ability to retain its key employees and maintain good relations with its employees; and
the Company’s ability to manage the fluctuation of its operating results, including as a result of the foregoing and other risk factors included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

For additional information regarding known material factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ from its projected results, see: Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained in this document, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Except as required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results   of Operations  
Overview
Cardtronics plc provides convenient automated consumer financial services through its network of automated teller machines and multi-function financial services kiosks (collectively referred to as “ATMs”). As of June 30, 2019 , we were the world’s largest ATM owner/operator, providing services to over 290,000 ATMs. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 , 62% of our total revenues were derived from operations in North America (including our ATM operations in the United States ("U.S."), Canada, and Mexico), 30% of our total revenues were derived from operations in Europe and Africa (including our ATM operations in the United Kingdom ("U.K."), Ireland, Germany, Spain, and South Africa), and 8% of our total revenues were derived from operations in Australia and New Zealand. Included in our network as of June 30, 2019  were approximately 204,000  ATMs to which we provided processing only services or various forms of managed services solutions. Under a managed services arrangement, retailers, financial institutions, and ATM distributors rely on us to handle some or all of the operational aspects associated with operating and maintaining ATMs, typically in exchange for a monthly service fee, fee per transaction, or fee per service provided.
Through our network, we deliver various ATM-based financial services to cardholders and provide ATM management and ATM equipment-related services (typically under multi-year contracts) to large retail merchants, smaller retailers, financial institutions, and operators of facilities such as shopping malls, airports, and train stations. In doing so, we provide our retail and financial institution partners with a compelling automated financial services solution that helps attract and retain customers, and in turn, increases the likelihood that our ATMs will be utilized. We also own and operate electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) transaction processing platforms that provide transaction processing services to our network of ATMs, as well as to other ATMs operated under managed services arrangements. Additionally, we also provide processing services for issuers of debit cards.
We also own and operate the Allpoint network (“Allpoint”), the largest surcharge-free ATM network (based on the number of participating ATMs). Allpoint, with approximately 55,000 participating ATMs, provides surcharge-free ATM access to approximately 1,200 participating credit unions, banks, and stored-value debit card issuers that are principally located in North America. For participants, Allpoint provides scale, density, and convenience of surcharge-free ATMs that surpasses the largest banks in the U.S. In exchange, Allpoint earns either a fixed monthly fee per cardholder or a fixed fee per transaction that is paid by the participants. Allpoint includes a majority of our Company's ATMs in the U.S. and certain ATMs in the U.K., Canada, Mexico, and Australia. Allpoint also provides services to organizations that manage stored-value debit card programs on behalf of corporate entities and governmental agencies, including general purpose, payroll, and electronic benefits transfer (“EBT”) cards. Under these programs, the issuing organizations pay us a fee per issued stored-value debit card or per transaction in return for allowing the users of those cards surcharge-free access to Allpoint’s ATM network.
For additional information related to our operations and the manner in which we derive revenues, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”).
Strategic Outlook
Over the past several years, we have expanded our operations and the capabilities and service offerings of our ATMs through strategic acquisitions and investments, continued to deploy ATMs in high-traffic locations under contracts with well-known retailers, and expanded our relationships with leading financial institutions through the growth of Allpoint, our surcharge-free ATM network and our bank-branding programs. We have also expanded our ATM capabilities and service offerings to financial institutions, as we are seeing increasing interest from financial institutions for outsourcing of ATM-related services due to our cost efficiency advantages and higher service levels, as well as the role that our ATMs can play in maintaining financial institutions physical presence for their customers as they reduce their physical branches. We have also expanded our capabilities and are in the process of deploying deposit-taking ATMs in certain locations within the U.S. Additionally, we have enabled 11,000 of our ATMs in the U.S. with cardless cash access and plan to enable additional ATMs with these capabilities in the future.
We have completed several acquisitions in the last seven years, including, but not limited to: (i) eight U.S. and Canada based ATM operators, expanding our ATMs in both multi-unit regional retail chains and individual merchant ATM locations in North America, (ii) Cardpoint Limited (“Cardpoint”) in August 2013, which further expanded our U.K. ATM operations and allowed us to enter into the German market, (iii) Sunwin in November 2014, which further expanded our cash-in-transit and maintenance servicing capabilities in the U.K. and allowed us to acquire and operate ATMs located at Co-op Food stores, (iv) DirectCash Payments Inc. ("DCPayments") in January 2017, a leading ATM operator with operations in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the U.K., and Mexico, (v) Spark in January 2017, an independent ATM deployer operating in South Africa, and (vi) various other less significant ATM asset and contract acquisitions. In addition to these ATM acquisitions, we have also made strategic acquisitions including: i-design in March 2013, a Scotland-based provider and developer of marketing and advertising software and services for ATM operators, and (ii) multiple leading independent transaction processors who provide solutions to ATM sales and service organizations and financial institutions.

We will continue to expand our ATM footprint organically and launch new products and services that will allow us to further leverage our existing ATM network. We may also explore acquisitions that are deemed strategic opportunities. We see opportunities to expand our operations through the following efforts:

expanding our relationships with leading financial institutions;
working with non-traditional financial institutions and card issuers to further leverage our extensive ATM network;
increasing transaction levels at our existing locations;
increasing the number of deployed ATMs with existing and new merchant relationships;
developing and providing additional services at our existing ATMs;
pursuing additional managed services opportunities; and
pursuing opportunities to expand into new international markets over time.
For additional information related to each of our strategic points above, see Part I. Item 1. Business - Our Strategy in our 2018 Form 10-K.
Developing Trends and Recent Events
Reduction of physical branches by financial institutions in the U.S., the U.K., and other geographies . Due primarily to the expansion of services available through digital channels, such as online and mobile, and financial institution customers’ preferences towards these digital channels, many financial institutions have been de-emphasizing traditional physical branches. This trend toward shifting more customer transactions to online and ATMs has helped financial institutions lower their operating costs. As a result, many banks have been reducing the number of physical branches they operate. However, financial institution customers still consider convenient access to ATMs to be an important criteria for maintaining an account with a particular financial institution. The closing of physical branches generally results in a removal of the ATMs that were at the closed branch locations and may create a void in physical presence for that financial institution. This creates an opportunity for us to provide the financial institution’s customers with convenient access to ATMs and to work with the financial institutions to preserve branded or unbranded physical points of presence through our ATM network.
Increase in surcharge-free offerings in the U.S. Many U.S. national and regional financial institutions aggressively compete for market share, and part of their competitive strategy is to increase their number of customer touch points, including the establishment of an ATM network to provide convenient, surcharge-free access to cash for their cardholders. Bank-branding of ATMs and participation in surcharge-free networks allow financial institutions to rapidly increase surcharge-free ATM access for their customers at a lower cost than owning and operating ATM networks. Additionally, many financial institutions find that providing convenient and free access to ATMs is an important factor in customers establishing or maintaining an account with a particular institution. These factors have led to an increase in bank-branding and participation in surcharge-free ATM networks and we believe that there will be continued growth in such arrangements.
Managed services. While many financial institutions (and some retailers) own and operate significant ATM networks that serve as extensions of their physical branches and increase the level of service offered to their customers, large ATM networks are costly to own and operate and typically do not provide significant revenue for financial institutions or retailers. Owning and operating an ATM network is not a core competency for the majority of financial institutions and retailers; therefore, we believe there is an opportunity for a large non-bank ATM owner/operator, such as ourselves, with lower costs and an established operating history, to contract with financial institutions and retailers to manage their ATM networks. Such an arrangement could reduce a financial institution or retailer’s operating costs while extending their customer service. Additionally, we believe there are opportunities to provide selected ATM-related services on an outsourced basis, such as transaction processing services, to other independent owners and operators of ATMs.
Growth in other automated consumer financial services. The majority of all ATM transactions in our geographies are cash withdrawals, with the remainder representing other banking functions such as balance inquiries and balance transfers. We believe that there are opportunities for a large non-bank ATM owner/operator, such as ourselves, to facilitate additional financial services with customers, such as deposit taking, money transfers, and stored-value debit card reload services. These additional automated consumer financial services could result in additional revenue streams for us and could ultimately result in increased profitability. However, they generally would require additional capital expenditures on our part to offer these services more broadly and would increase regulatory compliance activities. We have commenced a plan to deploy nearly 1,000 deposit-taking ATMs in certain locations in the U.S. and may deploy additional deposit-taking ATMs in the future.

Increase in usage of stored-value debit cards. In the U.S., we have seen a proliferation in the issuance and acceptance of stored-value debit cards as a means for consumers to access their cash and make routine retail purchases over the past ten years. Based on published studies, the value loaded on stored-value debit cards such as open loop network-branded money and financial services cards, payroll and benefit cards, and social security cards is expected to continue to increase in the next few years.
We believe that our network of ATMs, located in well-known retail establishments throughout the U.S., provides a convenient and cost-effective way for stored-value cardholders to access their cash and potentially conduct other financial services transactions. Furthermore, through Allpoint, we partner with financial institutions that manage stored-value debit card programs on behalf of corporate entities and governmental agencies, and we are able to provide the users of those cards convenient, surcharge-free access to their cash.
Growth in other markets. In most regions of the world, ATMs are less common than in the U.S. and the U.K. (our two largest markets). We believe the ATM industry will grow faster in certain international markets, as the number of ATMs per capita in those markets increases and begins to approach the levels in the U.S. and the U.K. We believe there is further growth potential for non-branch ATMs in the other geographic markets in which we operate.
United Kingdom . The U.K. is the largest ATM market in Europe. According to LINK (which connects the ATM networks of all the U.K. ATM operators), approximately 63,000 ATMs were deployed in the U.K. as of December 2018, of which approximately 60% were operated by non-banks (inclusive of our nearly 18,000 ATMs). Electronic payment alternatives have gained popularity in the U.K. and we have seen both the number of ATM deployments and total withdrawals slow in recent years. In light of recent changes to the LINK interchange rate that includes a 5% decrease that came into effect on July 1, 2018 and a second additional 5% decrease in the LINK interchange rate that came into effect on January 1, 2019, we have changed certain of our ATMs to pay-to-use, whereby we no longer receive interchange from customers' banks, but instead, the customer now pays us a convenience fee. We have also removed certain ATMs from service and have taken other measures to mitigate the impact of the LINK interchange reduction. For additional information, see Decrease in interchange rates below. We believe there are emerging opportunities with financial institutions in this market to outsource certain components of their ATM operations and we are actively working to grow our offerings for such services.
Germany .  There are approximately 58,000 ATMs in Germany that are primarily deployed in bank branch locations. The top four independent ATM deployers account for less than 10% of the market as of December 31, 2018. Cardtronics entered the German market in August 2013 through the acquisition of Cardpoint. Cardtronics is presently the largest independent ATM deployer in Germany with approximately 1,600 ATMs. The German ATM market is highly fragmented and may be under-deployed, based on its population’s high use of cash relative to other markets in which we operate, such as the U.S. and the U.K. As a result, this fragmented and potentially under-deployed ATM market is attractive to us and we believe there are a number of opportunities for growth in this market. We have continued to expand our ATM count in this market by adding new ATMs with new retail partners, such as Total, and have also added free-to-use ATM access to bank customers, such as Postbank.
Canada .  We entered the Canadian market in October 2011, and in January 2017, we significantly expanded our operations in Canada through our acquisition of DCPayments. We expect to continue to grow our number of ATM locations in this market. We currently operate approximately 11,000 ATMs in this market and estimate that there are currently approximately 70,000 ATMs in total in the Canadian market. As we plan to expand our footprint in Canada, we also plan to seek additional partnerships with financial institutions to implement bank-branding and other financial services, similar to our bank-branding and surcharge-free strategy in the U.S. 
Mexico . There are approximately 50,000 ATMs in Mexico, most of which are owned by national and regional financial institutions. We currently operate approximately 1,000 ATMs in Mexico and plan to selectively pursue growth opportunities with merchants and financial institutions in the region.
Spain. In October 2016, we launched our business in Spain, joining a top Spain ATM network and signing agreements to provide ATMs at multiple retail chains. There are approximately 51,000 ATMs in Spain, and we currently operate a very small portion. We plan to continue to grow in this market through additional merchant and financial institution relationships.
Australia and New Zealand . In January 2017, in connection with our acquisition of DCPayments, we expanded operations into Australia and New Zealand. The Australian ATM market has been significantly impacted by the removal of surcharge fees by the major banks to non-customers at their ATMs. The Australian and New Zealand ATM market is comprised of approximately 30,000 ATMs, and we are the largest independent ATM deployer in this region with approximately 9,000

51


ATMs. For further information regarding the removal of surcharge fees, see Australia market changes and asset impairment below. We believe there are opportunities for longer-term growth in Australia, which would likely include expansion of services to financial institutions in this market.
South Africa .  In January 2017, in connection with our acquisition of Spark, we obtained operations in South Africa. Spark is a leading independent ATM operator in South Africa, and we have recently grown in this market by expanding the number of ATMs we operate. We expect to continue to grow in this market with merchants and financial institutions. We operate approximately 3,800 ATMs in South Africa and estimate that this market has approximately 34,000 ATMs in total.
Increase in surcharge rates. As financial institutions increase the surcharge rates charged to non-customers for the use of their ATMs, it enables us to increase the surcharge rates charged on our ATMs in selected markets. We also believe that higher surcharge rates in the market make our surcharge-free offerings more attractive to consumers and other financial institutions.
Decrease in interchange rates. The interchange rates paid to independent ATM deployers, such as ourselves, are in some cases set by the various EFT networks and major interbank networks through which the transactions conducted on our ATMs are routed. In past years, certain networks have reduced the net interchange rates paid to ATM deployers for ATM transactions in the U.S. by reducing the transaction rates charged to financial institutions and increasing per transaction fees charged by the networks to ATM operators. In addition to the impact of the net interchange rate decrease, we saw certain financial institutions migrate their volume away from some networks to take advantage of the lower pricing offered by other networks, resulting in lower net interchange rates per transaction realized by us. If financial institutions move to take further advantage of lower interchange rates, or if networks reduce the interchange rates they currently pay to ATM deployers or increase their network fees, our future revenues and gross profits could be negatively impacted. We have taken measures to mitigate our exposure to interchange rate reductions by networks, including, but not limited to: (i) where possible, routing transactions through a preferred network such as Allpoint, where we have influence over the per transaction rate, (ii) negotiating directly with our financial institution partners for contractual interchange rates on transactions involving their customers, (iii) developing contractual protection from such rate changes in our agreements with merchants and financial institution partners, and (iv) negotiating pricing directly with certain networks.
Interchange rates in the U.K. are primarily set by LINK, the U.K.’s major interbank ATM network. LINK has historically set these rates annually using a cost-based methodology that incorporates ATM service costs from two years prior (i.e., operating costs from 2017 are considered for determining the 2019 interchange rate). In addition to LINK transactions, certain card issuers in the U.K. have issued cards that are not affiliated with the LINK network, and instead carry the Visa or MasterCard network brands. In recent years, transactions conducted on our ATMs from these cards have totaled approximately 4% of our annual withdrawal transactions in the U.K. For these transactions, we receive interchange revenues based on rates that are set by Visa or MasterCard, respectively. The interchange rates set by Visa and MasterCard have historically been less than the rates that have been established by LINK. In July 2018, the LINK interchange rate was reduced by 5% and an additional 5% rate reduction commenced on January 1, 2019. There are no further scheduled rate reductions at this time, but the impact of the recent rate reductions has adversely impacted our revenues and profits in the U.K. We continue to evaluate and assess the impact of interchange rate changes on our U.K. business and have taken certain actions and may continue to take additional actions to mitigate the impact of the current and potential future price reductions. Our mitigating activities have included, and may in the future include, removal of lower profitability sites, contract renegotiations with certain merchants, and conversion of certain ATMs to pay-to-use. The first 5% rate reduction that occurred on July 1, 2018, adversely impacted our 2018 profits by approximately $8 million, when taken together with other rate reductions. The second 5% decrease in the LINK interchange rate occurred January 1, 2019. On an unmitigated basis, we expect that these rate reductions will adversely impact our operating income by approximately $19 million in 2019. LINK implemented a Financial Inclusion Program intended to preserve free-to-use ATMs in certain remote and under-served areas, and we are participating in this program. Should there be any additional significant change in the LINK scheme or its membership, our U.K. revenues and profits could be more adversely impacted. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 , 16.8% , 10.6% , and 0.4% of our total ATM operating revenues were derived from interchange fees in Europe & Africa, North America, and Australia & New Zealand, respectively. A portion of these revenues are subject to pricing changes that we may be unable to offset through lower payments to merchants.
Withdrawal transaction and revenue trends - U.S. Many financial institutions are shifting traditional teller based transactions to online activities and ATMs to reduce their operating costs. Additionally, many financial institutions are reducing the number of physical branches they own and operate in order to lower their operating costs. As a result of these current trends, we believe there has been increasing demand for automated banking solutions, such as ATMs. Bank-branding of our ATMs and participation in our surcharge-free ATM network allow financial institutions to rapidly increase and maintain surcharge-free ATM access for their customers at a substantially lower cost than owning and operating an ATM network themselves. We believe there is continued opportunity for a large non-bank ATM owner/operator, such as ourselves, with lower costs and an established operating history, to contract with financial institutions and retailers to manage their ATM networks. Such an arrangement could reduce a financial

52


institution’s operating costs while extending its customer service. Furthermore, we believe there are opportunities to provide selected ATM-related services on an outsourced basis, such as transaction processing services, to other independent owners and operators of ATMs. Over the last several years, we have seen increased participation in Allpoint, and growth in bank-branding and managed services. We believe that there will be continued growth in all three areas.
U.S. same-store cash withdrawal transactions during the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased approximately 3% from the same period in 2018. Growth in Allpoint and bank-branding transactions has positively impacted the same-store growth rate, driven by the expansion in the number of ATMs in Allpoint, growth in the number of financial institutions participating in Allpoint and branding our ATMs, and increased marketing efforts to existing Allpoint and bank-branding customers.
7-Eleven U.S. relationship .  The Company had a long standing relationship with 7-Eleven in the U.S. that ended during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. In previous periods, this relationship accounted for a material portion of the Company’s consolidated revenues and profits. The Company began a transition to 7-Eleven’s new service provider during the third quarter of 2017 that was completed in February 2018. 7-Eleven in the U.S. accounted for less than 1% of total revenues in 2018, all of which was earned in the first quarter of 2018.
Withdrawal transaction and revenue trends - U.K. Historically, the majority of our ATMs in the U.K. have been free-to-use ATMs, meaning the transaction is free to the consumer and we earn an interchange rate paid by the customer’s bank. We also operate surcharging or pay-to-use ATMs, which are now increasing in the market and in our ATM estate due to the LINK interchange rate reduction discussed above. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 , same-store cash withdrawal transactions at our ATMs in the U.K were down 3% compared to the same period in 2018. We believe the growth rate was adversely impacted by changes in consumer payments behavior, where consumers are conducting more tap and pay (non-cash) transactions for small payments at retailers and by a decreased number of ATMs in the market.
Australia market changes and asset impairment .  In September 2017, Australia’s four largest banks, Commonwealth Bank of Australia (“CBA”), Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (“ANZ”), Westpac Banking Corporation (“Westpac”), and National Australia Bank (“NAB”), each separately announced decisions to remove all direct charges (or "surcharges") to all users on domestic ATM transactions completed at their respective ATM networks, effectively creating a free-to-use network of ATMs that did not exist previously. Collectively, these four banks account for approximately one third of the total ATMs in Australia. CBA removed the direct charges in late September 2017, and Westpac, ANZ, and NAB removed the direct charges soon thereafter in October 2017. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we performed qualitative and quantitative analysis and recognized an impairment of our Australia and New Zealand reporting unit in response to expected revenue and profit declines in this market following the banks’ removal of the direct charges.
Australia has historically been a direct charge ATM market, where cardholders have paid a fee (or "surcharge") to the operator of an ATM for each transaction, unless the ATM where the transaction was completed was part of the cardholder’s issuing bank ATM network. There is no broad interchange arrangement in Australia between card issuers and ATM operators to compensate the ATM operator for its service to a financial institution’s cardholder in the absence of the direct charge to the cardholders. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 , approximately 80% of the Company’s revenues in Australia were sourced from direct charges paid by cardholders. Consequently, the actions taken by the largest banks in Australia in 2017 resulted in a significant increase in the availability of free-to-use ATMs and could, in the future, result in a significant decrease in our revenues. While the direct impact we have experienced has been limited to date, the ultimate impact of this action could increase over time as consumers’ behavior patterns change as a result of the introduction of a large number of free-to-use ATMs in Australia that did not previously exist. 
Alternative payment options . We face indirect competition from alternative payment options, including card-based and mobile phone-based contactless payment technology in all of our markets. Australia and the U.K. have reported increasing rates of contactless payment use. Prior to our acquisition of DCPayments and since our ownership of the Australian component of the business, we have observed declines in transactions at Australian ATMs, as cash-based payments have declined as a percentage of total payments in recent years, with growth in contactless payments appearing to be the primary driver of the decline. Several banks in the U.S. have issued or are in the process of issuing contactless cards to their customers, enabling an additional payment choice for U.S. consumers. U.S. consumer adoption of this new payment choice could impact our transactions in the future in the U.S.

53


Capital investments.  Our capital investments in 2017 and 2016 included significant expenditures to upgrade and replace ATMs at certain locations in response to certain changes in network operating rules. Our capital spending in 2019 has been and will continue to be driven by the following: (i) our strategic initiatives to enhance the consumer experience at our ATMs and drive transaction growth, (ii) certain software and hardware enhancements required to facilitate our strategic initiatives, enhance security, and retain the necessary support, (iii) other compliance related matters including terminal upgrades required due to polymer note introductions, (iv) long-term renewals of existing merchant contracts, (v) growth opportunities across our enterprise, and (vi) investments in the infrastructure of our business, including the implementation of an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system which was substantially completed during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
U.K. planned exit from the European Union (“Brexit”). On March 29, 2017, the U.K. government officially triggered Article 50 of the Treaty on the European Union ("EU"), which commenced the process for the U.K. to exit the EU. The U.K. was originally scheduled to exit the EU on March 29, 2019, subject to a transition period extending through December 2020. However, as of March 29, 2019, the British Parliament had not approved the withdrawal agreement that had been negotiated by representatives of the British government and the EU. On April 10, 2019, prior to the end of an initial two week extension, the EU extended the deadline for the U.K. to approve the negotiated withdrawal agreement to October 31, 2019. Given the delay, there remains considerable uncertainty associated with the timing and terms of the withdrawal. Failure to obtain parliamentary approval of the negotiated withdrawal agreement would mean that the U.K. would leave the EU with no agreement (a so-called “hard Brexit”). Although the ultimate impact of Brexit on our business is unknown, we continue to monitor the negotiation of a withdrawal agreement and of a future relationship between the EU and the U.K.
Dynamic Currency Conversion ("DCC"). Effective April 13, 2019, Visa allows DCC on international ATM transactions globally. This rule allows us to expand our DCC offerings in certain of our markets, and we are currently in the process of deploying DCC at many of our ATMs across our network. On March 19, 2019, the European Parliament adopted Regulation 2019/518 applicable to DCC charges. The additional transparency and price comparability requirements on DCC transactions are effective from April 2020. Our DCC revenues currently account for approximately 3% our total revenues, the majority of which is derived from our U.K. operations. With the timing of Brexit delayed, we are uncertain, at this time, if this new proposed regulation will have any significant impact on our revenues. Regardless of the outcome of Brexit and whether the U.K. adopts the EU proposed regulations, we do not believe this regulation will have a material impact on our revenues based on our current operations and the intended purpose of the proposed regulations.
Restructuring Expenses.   During 2017 and 2018, we implemented a global corporate reorganization and cost reduction initiative (the "2017 and 2018 Restructuring Plan”), intended to improve our cost structure and operating efficiency. The 2017 and 2018 Restructuring Plan included workforce reductions, facilities closures, contract terminations, and other cost reduction measures. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred pre-tax charges of $2.1 million and $4.5 million, related to the 2017 and 2018 Restructuring Plan, primarily consisting of employee severance.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred $3.5 million of pre-tax charges primarily consisting of professional fees, employee severance costs, and facility costs related to a planned reorganization (the "2019 Restructuring Plan").
Next generation bank note upgrade in Australia.  Next generation bank notes are in the process of being introduced by the Reserve Bank of Australia. The new $5 note was introduced on September 1, 2016, and the new $50 note, the most widely disseminated note in Australia, was introduced on October 18, 2018. The new $20 note and $100 note are expected to be issued in October 2019 and 2020, respectively. The introduction of these next generation bank notes has required upgrades to software and physical ATM components on our ATMs in Australia.
U.S. Tax Reform .  On December 22, 2017, House of Representatives 1 (“H.R. 1”), originally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. Tax Reform”) was enacted and signed into legislation. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”), the effects of changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. As a result of this legislation, during the three months ended December 31, 2017, we provisionally recognized one-time net tax benefits totaling $11.6 million. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Accounting Bulletin No.118 during 2018, we reduced the estimated one-time tax related to U.S. Tax Reform by $0.4 million and completed our accounting for the tax effects of this change in law.

54


Acquisitions.  On January 6, 2017, we completed the acquisition of DCPayments, a leading operator of approximately 25,000 ATMs with operations in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the U.K., and Mexico. On January 31, 2017, we completed the acquisition of Spark, an independent ATM operator in South Africa, with a growing network of approximately 2,300 ATMs. The agreed purchase consideration for Spark included initial cash consideration, paid at closing, and potential additional contingent consideration. The additional purchase consideration is contingent upon Spark achieving certain agreed upon earnings targets in 2019 and 2020 to be paid in 2020 and 2021, respectively.  In May 2019, we acquired ATM processing contracts for approximately 62,000 ATMs in our North America segment.
Cybersecurity trends . We electronically process and transmit cardholder information as part of our transaction processing services. Companies that process and transmit cardholder information, such as ours, have been specifically and increasingly targeted in recent years by sophisticated criminal organizations in an effort to obtain information and utilize it for fraudulent transactions. Additionally, the risk of unauthorized circumvention of system controls has been heightened by advances in computer capabilities and increasing sophistication of hackers. We take a risk-based approach to cybersecurity, and in recognition of the growing threat within our industry and the general marketplace, we proactively make strategic investments in our security infrastructure, technical and procedural controls, and regulatory compliance activities. We also apply the knowledge gained through industry and government organizations to continuously improve our technology, processes and services to detect, mitigate and protect our information. Cybersecurity and the effectiveness of our cybersecurity strategy are regular topics of discussion at Board of Director meetings. We expect to continue to focus attention and resources on our security protection protocols, including repairing any system damage and deploying additional personnel, as well as protecting against any potential reputational harm. The cost to remediate any damages to our information technology systems suffered as a result of a cyber-attack could be significant. 
Factors Impacting Comparability Between Periods
Foreign currency exchange rates . Our reported financial results are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We estimate that the year-over-year fluctuation of the currencies in the markets in which we operate relative to the U.S. dollar caused our reported total revenues to be lower by $9.8 million and $21.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively.
7-Eleven ATM removal. The 7-Eleven ATM placement agreement in the U.S. expired in July 2017, and all ATM operations in the U.S. were transitioned to the new service provider by the end of February 2018. 7-Eleven in the U.S accounted for $5.4 million, or less than 1% of total revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2018
ATM operating revenues.  ATM   operating revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2019   decreased  $ 6.1  million, or 1.9% , compared to the same period of 2018 . The decrease was primarily a result of foreign currency exchange rate movements impacting the results of our Europe & Africa and Australia & New Zealand segments. Absent the foreign currency exchange rate movements, our ATM operating revenues would have increased $3.4 million, or 1.0% due to the expansion of our surcharge-free network and bank-branding revenues and higher transaction processing revenues in the U.S., the increase in the number of transacting ATMs and transaction activity from new placement agreements in Europe & Africa, partially offset by the impact of the two 5% decreases in the LINK interchange rate in the U.K. that came into effect on July 1, 2018 and January 1, 2019 as well as the decline in the number of transacting ATMs deployed in the U.K. and Australia & New Zealand.

North America.  For the three months ended June 30, 2019 , our ATM operating revenues in our North America segment increased $ 2.1 million , or 1.0% , compared to the same period of 2018 . The increase was primarily attributable to the U.S. with the expansion of the surcharge-free network and bank-branding revenues, higher same-store withdrawals, higher transaction processing revenues, partially offset by lower surcharge and interchange revenues due to a lower number of transacting ATMs.
Europe & Africa.  For the three months ended June 30, 2019 , our ATM operating revenues in our Europe & Africa segment decreased $ 4.3 million , or 4.1% , compared to the same period of 2018 . Our ATM operating revenues would have been higher by approximately $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 , absent the foreign currency exchange rate movements. Adjusted for foreign currency movements, ATM operating revenues increased 2.0% due to an increase in the number of transacting ATMs and transaction activity from new ATM placement agreements in Spain, South Africa, and Germany, partially offset by the impact of the two 5% decreases in the LINK interchange rate in the U.K. that came into effect on July 1, 2018 and January 1, 2019, as well as fewer transacting ATMs in the U.K. In addition, the transition of a portion of our U.K. ATMs to pay-to-use resulted in higher surcharge revenues partially offsetting the lower interchange revenues. For additional information related to our constant-currency calculations, see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
Australia & New Zealand.  For the three months ended June 30, 2019 , our ATM operating revenues in our Australia & New Zealand segment decreased $ 4.3 million , or 14.8% , compared to the same period of 2018 . Approximately $2.0 million of this decline was a result of foreign currency exchange rate movements with the remainder due to a reduction in the number of transacting ATMs and fewer transactions per ATM.
ATM product sales and other revenues . For the three months ended June 30, 2019 , our ATM product sales and other revenues increased 50.8% compared to the same period of 2018 . The increase was primarily related to higher equipment sales in the U.S.

59


Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2018
 
ATM operating revenues. ATM operating revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased $23.3 million , or 3.6% , compared to the same period of 2018. The decrease was primarily a result of foreign currency exchange rate movements impacting the results of our Europe & Africa and Australia & New Zealand segments. Absent the foreign currency exchange rate movements, our ATM operating revenues would have decreased $2.6 million or 0.4% . This constant-currency decrease was impacted by the termination of the 7-Eleven contract in the U.S. and the removal of ATM's at 7-Eleven locations that contributed $5.4 million to ATM operating revenues in the first two months of 2018. The decrease was also impacted by the two 5% decreases in the LINK interchange rate in the U.K. that came into effect on July 1, 2018 and January 1, 2019 and a reduction in the number of transacting ATMs deployed in the U.K and Australia & New Zealand. The impact of these factors were mostly offset by the expansion of our surcharge-free network and bank-branding revenues and higher transaction processing revenues in the U.S., and the increase in the number of transacting ATMs and transaction activity from new placement agreements in Europe & Africa.

North America.  For the six months ended June 30, 2019 , our ATM operating revenues in our North America segment decreased $2.6 million , or 0.7% , compared to the same period of 2018 . The decrease was attributable to the termination of the 7-Eleven contract in the U.S. and the removal of ATMs at 7-Eleven locations that contributed approximately $5.4 million in ATM operating revenues in the first two months of 2018. This decrease was partially offset by revenue growth in the U.S. resulting from growth in bank-branding and surcharge-free network revenues, higher transaction processing revenues, and higher same-store withdrawal transactions.

Europe & Africa.  For the six months ended June 30, 2019 , our ATM operating revenues in our Europe & Africa segment decreased $11.8 million , or 5.8% , compared to the same period of 2018 . Our ATM operating revenues would have been higher by approximately $13.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , absent the foreign currency exchange rate movements. Adjusted for foreign currency movements, ATM operating revenues increased 0.7% due to an increase in the number of transacting ATMs and transaction activity from new placement agreements in Spain, South Africa, and Germany, partially offset by the impact of the two 5% decreases in the LINK interchange rate in the U.K. that came into effect on July 1, 2018 and January 1, 2019 as well as a reduction in the number of transacting ATMs deployed in the U.K. In addition, the transition of U.K. ATMs to pay-to-use resulted in higher surcharge revenues partially offsetting the lower interchange revenues. For additional information related to our constant-currency calculations, see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
Australia & New Zealand.  For the six months ended June 30, 2019 , our ATM operating revenues in our Australia & New Zealand segment decreased $9.1 million , or 15.3% , compared to the same period of 2018 . Approximately $4.6 million of this decline was a result of foreign currency exchange rate movements with the remainder due to a reduction in the number of transacting ATMs and fewer transactions per ATM.
ATM product sales and other revenues . For the six months ended June 30, 2019 , our ATM product sales and other revenues increased 18.4% compared to the same period of 2018 . The increase was primarily related to higher equipment sales in the U.S.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2018
Cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets). Cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangibles assets) during the three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased $ 7.3 , or 3.4% , compared to the same period of 2018 . Consistent with the decrease in ATM operating revenue, the decrease in Cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangibles assets) was primarily a result of foreign currency exchange rate movements, lower merchant commissions, fewer company-owned ATMs in the U.K. and Australia & New Zealand, partially offset by a reduction in our estimated U.K. business rates (property taxes) on ATMs in the same period of 2018.

North America. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 , our cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets) in our North America segment decreased $ 1.0 million , or 0.8% , compared to the same period of 2018 . The decrease was primarily attributable to lower merchant commissions, lower communications costs, and improved operational efficiency as a result of the 2017 and 2018 Restructuring Plan, partially offset by an increase in repairs and maintenance costs.

Europe & Africa.  For the three months ended June 30, 2019 , our cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangibles assets) in our Europe & Africa segment decreased by $2.7 million , or 4.2% , compared to the same period of 2018 . Excluding foreign currency exchange rate movements, our cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets) increased 1.9% as a result of the additional transacting ATMs and transaction activity from new placement agreements in Spain, South Africa and Germany as well as a reduction in our estimated U.K. business rates (property taxes) on ATMs in the same period of 2018.
Australia & New Zealand. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 , our cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangibles assets) in our Australia & New Zealand segment decreased $ 4.1 million , or 19.0% , compared to the same period of 2018 primarily due to foreign currency exchange rate movements, a reduction in the number of transacting ATMs, and fewer transactions per ATM. For additional information related to our constant-currency calculations, see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
Cost of ATM product sales and other revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 , our cost of ATM product sales and other revenues increased 41.8% from the same period of 2018 which is directionally consistent with the increase in revenue from ATM product sales primarily in the U.S.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2018
Cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets). Cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangibles assets) during the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased $ 16.6 million, or 3.9% , compared to the same period of 2018 . Consistent with the decrease in ATM operating revenues, the decrease in Cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangibles assets) was primarily a result of foreign currency exchange rate movements, lower merchant commissions, fewer company-owned ATMs in the U.K. and Australia & New Zealand, the realization of improved operational efficiency as a result of the 2017 and 2018 Restructuring Plan, partially offset by a reduction in our estimated U.K. business rates (property taxes) on ATMs in the same period of 2018.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”), excluding   share-based compensation expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , SG&A expenses, excluding share-based compensation expense, remained relatively flat compared to the same periods of 2018 .
Share-based compensation expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , share-based compensation expense increased $1.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2018 . This increase is a result of the amount, timing and terms of share-based payment awards granted during the periods, net of estimated forfeitures.  For additional information related to share-based compensation expense, see Item 1. Financial Statements,   Note 4. Share-based Compensation .
Restructuring Expenses
  During 2017 and 2018, we implemented a global corporate reorganization and cost reduction initiative (the "2017 and 2018 Restructuring Plan”), intended to improve our cost structure and operating efficiency. The 2017 and 2018 Restructuring Plan included workforce reductions, facilities closures, contract terminations, and other cost reduction measures. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , we implemented additional workforce reductions in an effort to continue our cost reduction initiative and thereby improve our cost structure and operating efficiency.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred $3.5 million of pre-tax charges primarily consisting of professional fees, employee severance costs, and facility costs related to the 2019 Restructuring Plan.
For additional information, see Item 1. Financial Statements,   Note 1. General and Basis of Presentation – (d) Restructuring Expenses.
Acquisition Related Expenses

Acquisition related expenses. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , we incurred acquisition expenses of $.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, related primarily to employee severance and lease termination costs related to the DCPayments acquisition.

Loss on disposal and impairment of assets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , we recognized losses of approximately $ 1.5 million, and $ 2.5 million, respectively, related to the disposal of ATM assets in the normal course of business. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , losses were primarily driven by ATM asset impairment and disposal in the U.S. and the exit from one of our leased facilities in the U.K.

Interest expense, net. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , interest expense, net, decreased $ 2.3 million, or 25.0% , and $ 4.8 million, or 26.3% , respectively, compared to the same periods of 2018 . This decrease was attributable to a comparatively lower outstanding long-term debt balance and a lower weighted average interest rate following the December 2018 redemption of our $250.0 million 5.125% Senior notes. These borrowings were refinanced under our revolving credit facility with a lower interest rate. For additional information related to our outstanding borrowings, see Item 1. Financial Statements,   Note 9. Long-Term Debt.
Other Expense (Income)
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , we recognized gains of $0.5 million and $8.7 million, respectively, in Other expense (income) to revise the estimated fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration liability. These amounts partially offset foreign currency translation gains/losses and other non-operating costs. For additional information on the acquisition related contingent consideration, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 14. Fair Value Measurements.

Income tax expense. The Company’s income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , totaled $ 3.6 million and $ 6.7 million, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.4% and 31.2% , respectively, compared to $ 2.6 million for both three and six months ended June 30, 2018 resulting in an effective tax rate of 40.7% and 72.1% for the same periods. The increase in the tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018 was primarily attributable to increased profits in the current period, partially offset by tax benefits from the utilization of interest deductions disallowed in the prior year.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
DISCLOSURE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In order to assist readers of our consolidated financial statements in understanding the operating results that management uses to evaluate the business and for financial planning purposes, we present the following non-GAAP measures as a complement to financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per diluted share, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and certain other results presented on a constant-currency basis. We believe that the presentation of these measures and the identification of notable, non-cash, non-operating costs and/or (if applicable in a particular period) certain costs not anticipated to occur in future periods enhance an investor’s understanding of the underlying trends in our business and provide for better comparability between periods in different years. We also believe that these measures are relevant and provide useful information widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in our industry to provide a baseline for evaluating and comparing our operating performance and, in the case of free cash flow, our liquidity results. We use these non-GAAP financial measures in managing and measuring the performance of our business, including setting and measuring incentive based compensation for management.
Furthermore, the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities, or other income or cash flow measures contained within our consolidated financial statements. The non-GAAP measures that we use are not defined in the same manner by all companies and therefore may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
EBITDA is calculated by adding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and accretion and amortization to net income. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude these items as these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within the Company’s industry depending upon capital structures, tax jurisdictions, accounting methods, the book values of assets and the methods by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes certain non-cash, non-operating costs and/or (if applicable in a particular period) certain costs not anticipated to occur in future periods. These excluded items consist of share-based compensation expense, acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, restructuring expenses, gains or losses on disposal and impairment of assets and other income and expense. Adjusted EBITDA is also calculated to exclude amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.
Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share, and Adjusted Tax Rate
Adjusted Net Income represents net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, before amortization of intangible assets and deferred financing costs, gains or losses on disposal and impairment of assets, share-based compensation expense, certain other income and expense amounts, acquisition related expenses, certain non-operating expenses, and (if applicable in a particular period) certain costs not anticipated to occur in future periods (together, the “Adjustments”). The non-GAAP tax rate used to calculate Adjusted Net Income was approximately 22.7% and 23.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and 24.5% and 25.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The non-GAAP tax rates represent the GAAP tax rate for the period as adjusted by the estimated tax impact of the items adjusted from the measure. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less the impact of changes in restricted cash due to the timing of payments of restricted cash liabilities and less payments for capital expenditures, including those financed through direct debt, but excluding acquisitions. The Adjusted Free Cash Flow measure does not take into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash requirements such as mandatory principal payments on portions of our long-term debt.
Constant Currency
Management calculates certain GAAP as well as non-GAAP measures on a constant-currency basis using the average foreign currency exchange rates applicable in the corresponding period of the previous year and applying these rates to the measures in the current reporting period to assess performance and eliminate the effect foreign currency exchange rates have on comparability between periods.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Statements
Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used herein to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures are presented as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of June 30, 2019 , we had $ 33.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $ 778.6 million in outstanding long-term debt.
We have historically funded our operations primarily through cash flows from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and the issuance of debt and equity securities. We have generally used a portion of our cash flows to invest in additional ATMs, either through acquisitions or through organic growth. We have also used cash to pay interest and principal amounts outstanding under our borrowings. As we collect a sizable portion of our sales on a daily basis but generally pay our vendors on 30 day terms and are not required to pay certain of our merchants until 20 days after the end of each calendar month, we are able to utilize the excess available cash flow to reduce borrowings made under our revolving credit facility and to fund capital expenditures. Accordingly, it is not uncommon for us to reflect a working capital deficit position in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We believe that our cash on hand and our current revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements and contractual commitments for the next twelve months. We expect to fund our working capital needs from cash flows from our operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility, to the extent needed.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $55.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 , compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $109.8 million during the same period of 2018 . The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities during the six months relative to the prior year was primarily attributable to the changes in restricted cash during the periods due to the timing of payments of restricted cash liabilities. Excluding changes in restricted cash, our cash flows from operating activities were up $41.2 million as a result of lower interest payments and favorable working capital changes. See Reconciliation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow within our discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures above.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $ 64.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 , compared to net cash used in investing activities of $46.7 million during the same period of 2018 . The change in net cash used in investing activities during the six months relative to the prior year was related to a higher level of capital expenditures during 2019 and $ 9.1 million related to an acquisition in 2019.
Anticipated future capital expenditures. We currently anticipate that the majority of our capital expenditures for the foreseeable future will be attributable to the following: i) organic growth projects, including the purchase of ATMs for both new and existing ATM management agreements, ii) technology and product development, iii) investments in our infrastructure, and iv) ongoing refreshment of our ATMs and operational assets. We currently anticipate that our capital expenditures for the year will total approximately $135 million, which is primarily expected to be utilized to support new business growth. We expect such capital expenditures to be funded primarily through our cash flows from operations.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $67.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 , compared to cash used in financing activities of $48.0 million during the same period of 2018 . During the six months ended June 30, 2019 we used $20.1 million to repurchase 677,679 Class A ordinary shares and used excess available cash to pay down borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The following market risk disclosures should be read in conjunction with the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk contained in our 2018 Form 10-K.  
We are exposed to certain risks related to our ongoing business operations, including interest rate risk associated with our vault cash rental obligations and, to a lesser extent, borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The following quantitative and qualitative information is provided about financial instruments to which we were a party at June 30, 2019 and from which we may incur future gains or losses from changes in market interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates. We do not enter into derivative or other financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
Hypothetical changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates chosen for the following estimated sensitivity analysis are considered to be reasonably possible near-term changes generally based on consideration of past fluctuations for each risk category. However, since it is not possible to accurately predict future changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, these hypothetical changes may not necessarily be an indicator of probable future fluctuations.
Interest Rate Risk
Vault cash rental expense. As our ATM vault cash rental expense is based on market rates of interest, it is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates in the respective countries in which we operate. We pay a monthly fee on the average outstanding vault cash balances in our ATMs under floating rate formulas based on a spread above various interbank offered rates in the U.S., the U.K., Germany, and Spain. In Australia, the formula is based on the Bank Bill Swap Rates (“BBSY”), in South Africa, the rate is based on the South African Prime Lending rate and the Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate, in Canada, the rate is based on the Bank of Canada’s Bankers Acceptance Rate and the Canadian Prime Rate, and in Mexico, the rate is based on the Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate (commonly referred to as the “TIIE”).
As a result of the significant sensitivity to interest rates related to our vault cash rental expense, we have entered into a number of interest rate swap contracts and caps with varying notional amounts and fixed interest rates in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia to manage the rate we pay on the amounts of our current and anticipated outstanding vault cash balances.
The notional amounts, weighted average fixed rates, and terms associated with our interest rate swap contracts and cap agreements that are currently in place in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia (as of the date of the issuance of this Form 10-Q) are as follows:

Summary of Interest Rate Exposure on Average Outstanding Vault Cash
The following table presents a hypothetical sensitivity analysis of our annual vault cash rental expense in North America based on our average outstanding vault cash balance and interest rate derivatives for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and assuming a 100 basis point increase in interest rates (in millions):

We also have terms in certain of our North America contracts with merchants and financial institution partners where we can decrease fees paid to merchants or effectively increase the fees paid to us by financial institutions if vault cash rental costs increase. Such protection will serve to reduce but not eliminate the exposure calculated above. Furthermore, we have the ability in North America to partially mitigate our interest rate exposure through our operations. We believe we can reduce the average outstanding vault cash balances as interest rates rise by visiting ATMs more frequently with lower cash amounts. This ability to reduce the average outstanding vault cash balances is partially constrained by the incremental cost of more frequent ATM visits. Our contractual protections with merchants and financial institution partners and our ability to reduce the average outstanding vault cash balances will serve to reduce but not eliminate interest rate exposure.

As of June 30, 2019 , we had an asset of $1.8 million and a liability of $19.1 million recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets related to our interest rate swap and foreign currency forward contracts, which represented the fair value asset or liability, respectively, of the interest rate swap and foreign currency forward contracts, as derivative instruments are required to be carried at fair value. The fair value estimate was calculated as the present value of amounts estimated to be received or paid to a marketplace participant in a selling transaction. These interest rate swap and foreign currency forward contracts are valued using pricing models based on significant other observable inputs (Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy prescribed by U.S. GAAP). For each highly effective hedging relationship, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of the Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net line in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The gain or loss is reclassified into earnings in the Vault cash rental expense line in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and has been forecasted into earnings.
Outlook. Although we currently hedge a substantial portion of our vault cash interest rate risk in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia, we may not be able to enter into similar arrangements for similar amounts in the future, and any significant increase in interest rates in the future could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations by increasing our operating expenses. However, we expect that the impact on our consolidated financial statements from a significant increase in interest rates would be partially mitigated by the derivative instruments that we currently have in place associated with our vault cash balances in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia and other protective measures we have put in place to mitigate such risk.
Interest expense.  Our interest expense is also sensitive to changes in interest rates as borrowings under our revolving credit facility accrue interest at floating rates. In November 2018, we entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) increasing the available borrowings under our revolving credit facility to $600 million.  Subsequently, on December 19, 2018, we redeemed our outstanding 2022 Notes, drawing the necessary proceeds to fund the redemption from our revolving credit facility.  As of June 30, 2019 , our outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which carries a floating interest rate, were $ 212.8 million , the majority of which is denominated in U.K. pounds sterling. To mitigate the interest rate risk associated with these borrowings, we entered into interest rate swap contracts to effectively fix the interest rate on a portion of the expected outstanding borrowings.

Transition from LIBOR . We are currently evaluating the impact of the transition from LIBOR as an interest rate benchmark to other potential alternative reference rates. Currently we have several debt and derivative instruments that reference LIBOR-based rates. The transition from LIBOR is expected to take place in 2021, and we will continue to assess the impact of this transition. For additional information related to the transition from LIBOR, see Part 1, Item 1A. Risk Factors - Changes in interest rates could increase our operating costs by increasing interest expense under our credit facilities and our vault cash rental costs - in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
As a result of our operations in the U.K., Australia, Canada, Germany, South Africa, Mexico, Spain, Ireland, and New Zealand, we are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The functional currencies of our international subsidiaries are their respective local currencies. The results of operations of our international subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using average foreign currency exchange rates in effect during the periods in which those results are recorded and the assets and liabilities are translated using the foreign currency exchange rate in effect as of each balance sheet reporting date. These resulting translation adjustments to assets and liabilities have been reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2019 , this accumulated translation loss totaled $56.9 million compared to $66.3 million as of December 31, 2018.
Our consolidated financial results were significantly impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the prior year. Our total revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 would have been higher by approximately $ 9.8 million and $21.2 million had the foreign currency exchange rates from the three months ended June 30, 2018 remained unchanged from the prior year. A sensitivity analysis indicates that, if the U.S. dollar uniformly strengthened or weakened 10% against the British pound, Euro, Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, or South African rand, the effect upon our operating income would have been approximately $1.5 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively. We entered into forward currency contracts to mitigate our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to expected cash flows generated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar that are expected to be converted into U.S. dollars within the next twelve months.
Certain intercompany balances are designated as short-term in nature. The changes in these balances related to foreign currency exchange rates have been recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk as it relates to these intercompany balances.
We do not hold derivative commodity instruments and all of our cash and cash equivalents are held in money market and checking funds.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management’s Quarterly Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2019 at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In conjunction with the evaluation described above, there have been no changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
