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” or “Cardtronics”), 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”). The Company is the world’s largest ATM owner/operator, providing services in North America, Europe and Africa, and Australia and New Zealand. The Company evaluates, oversees and manages the financial performance of the business through these three operating segments, further described in Note 17. Segment Information.
The Company’s revenues are generally recurring in nature and historically have been derived primarily from convenience transaction fees (or "surcharge"), 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 electronic funds transfer ("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 the Company's Allpoint network ("Allpoint"), the largest retail based surcharge-free ATM network (based on the number of participating ATMs), (ii) fees for bank-branding ATMs and providing financial institution cardholders with surcharge-free access, (iii) revenues earned by providing managed services solutions and transaction processing services to retailers and financial institutions, (iv) fees earned from foreign currency exchange transactions at the ATM, known as dynamic currency conversion ("DCC"), and (v) revenues from the sale of ATMs, 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 United States ("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, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”), which includes a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets related to ATMs and ATM-related assets.

(d) Restructuring Expenses
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company continued certain corporate reorganization and cost reduction initiatives that began in 2019. In addition, the Company implemented additional cost reduction measures during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, partly in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic (the "Pandemic"). In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred $2.0 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of pre-tax expenses related to these activities that primarily included facility closures, workforce reductions and other related charges.
The following table reflects the amounts recorded in the Restructuring expenses line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented:

The costs incurred in Europe & Africa for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 included facility related costs consisting of non-cash asset write-offs and accelerated lease expenses as well as amounts pertaining to workforce reductions. The costs incurred in North America for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily related to workforce reductions. The costs incurred in Australia & New Zealand for the three months ended September 30, 2020 primarily related to workforce reductions. The costs incurred in Corporate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily consisted of professional fees. The restructuring liability balances as of September 30, 2020 and 2019 were $1.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The restructuring liability balance as of December 31, 2019 was $1.0 million.

(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. 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 assets is offset by a corresponding liability balance in the Accrued liabilities line in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The changes in the settlement liabilities corresponding to the changes in the balance of restricted cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are presented in the Statements of Cash Flows within the Increase in restricted cash liabilities line.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the ending cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, corresponding with the balances in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Restricted cash 96,740  178,748 
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 360,230  $ 205,282 

(f) Accounts and Notes Receivable-Credit Losses
Accounts and notes receivable are comprised of amounts due from the Company’s clearing and settlement banks for transaction revenues earned on transactions processed during the month ending on the balance sheet date, as well as receivables from bank-branding and network-branding customers, and for ATMs and ATM-related equipment sales and service. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest.

The allowance for credit losses represents the Company’s best estimate of the future expected credit losses on the Company's existing accounts and notes receivable. The Company assessed the likelihood of collection of its receivables utilizing historical loss rates and current market conditions that included the estimated impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Refer to Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements for additional information on the development of the Company's estimate of expected credit losses.

The Company recorded a (benefit) provision for estimated credit losses of $(0.5) million and $0.4 million during the three months ending September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and a provision of $0.8 million and $1.0 million during the nine months ending September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, approximately 79% of the Accounts and Notes Receivable balance was current and not yet due.
(g) Inventory
The Company’s inventory is determined using the average cost method. The Company periodically assesses its inventory, and as necessary, adjusts the carrying values to the lower of cost or net realizable value.
The following table reflects the Company’s primary inventory components:

(2) New Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
Current Expected Credit Losses. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and related amendments (collectively, "Topic 326"), via a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. Topic 326 replaced the incurred loss impairment model under which credit losses were recognized when probable. The new guidance requires recognition of credit losses when expected based on a broad range of information, including historical experience and current economic conditions. To implement the standard, the Company applied an aging based methodology using historic loss experience and aging categories. Where necessary, the Company segregated receivables into pools with common characteristics. In addition, where appropriate and where the available information indicated that losses would be minimal, an estimated loss rate was applied. In all cases, losses are recognized when expected. The Company holds no material financing receivables and no other financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The Company's adoption of Topic 326 had the following impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position:

December 31, 2019 ASC 326 Adoption January 1, 2020
As Reported As Adjusted
(In thousands)
Accounts and notes receivable $ 101,046  $ —  $ 101,046 
Allowance for credit losses (5,251) (2,337) (7,588)
Accounts and notes receivable, net $ 95,795  $ (2,337) $ 93,458 
Deferred tax asset, net $ 13,159  $ 466  $ 13,625 
Retained earnings $ 125,763  $ (1,871) $ 123,892 

Fair Value Measurement. In January 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework (Topic 820): Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This guidance modified the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The Company's adoption of these disclosure requirements had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedging relationships to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The adoption of this guidance has had no impact on the consolidated financial statements as the Company has not yet modified any of the existing contracts in response to the reference rate reform. The impact of this ASU will ultimately depend on the terms of any future contract modification related to a change in reference rate, including potential future modifications to the Company's debt facilities, vault cash agreements and cash flow hedges.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 740-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and has not yet concluded whether it will early adopt in 2021. At this time, this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes,
12

performing intra-period allocations and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The ASU also adds guidance intended to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for certain changes in the tax basis of goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance 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 the ATM operating revenues and ATM product sales and other revenues line items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
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 Consolidated Statements of Operations. ATM operating revenues are recognized as the associated transactions are processed or monthly on a per ATM or per cardholder basis. When customer contracts provide for up-front fees that do not pertain to a distinct performance obligation, the 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.
The Company’s bank-branding, surcharge-free network and managed services arrangements result in the Company providing a series of distinct services that have similar patterns of transfer to the customer. As a result, these arrangements create 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 Company’s performance completed to date. In conjunction with these arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue in the amount that 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.
The Company presents revenues from other product sales and services in the ATM product sales and other revenues line in the 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 ownership of the equipment is transferred 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 ownership of the equipment is transferred to the VARs.
14

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. See the 2019 Form 10-K for further information on the components of the Company's revenues.
Contract Balances
As of September 30, 2020, the Company has recognized no significant contract assets. Contract liabilities totaled $8.7 million and $9.0 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 on previously deferred revenues was not significant. The Company expects to recognize the revenue associated with its contract liabilities ratably over various periods generally extending over the next 36 months.
Contract Acquisition Costs
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 $6.5 million and $7.5 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Sales commissions capitalized are generally amortized over a 4-5 year period corresponding with the related agreements. Similarly, 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations:
  Three Months Ended
September 30,
Nine Months Ended
September 30,
  2020 2019 2020 2019
  (In thousands)
Cost of ATM operating revenues $ 391  $ 367  $ 1,161  $ 994 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses 5,530  5,266  14,982  14,373 
Total share-based compensation expense $ 5,921  $ 5,633  $ 16,143  $ 15,367 
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, 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.
15

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 Performance-RSUs and Market-Based-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). 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 September 30, 2020, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, are presented below:
  Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested RSUs as of December 31, 2019 742,352  $ 29.44 
Granted 919,605  23.58 
Vested (428,767) 29.55 
Forfeited (58,948) 28.08 
Non-vested RSUs as of September 30, 2020 1,174,242  $ 24.88 
The above table only includes earned RSUs. Performance-RSUs and Market-Based-RSUs that are not yet earned are not included. The number of unearned Market-Based-RSUs granted in 2018, net of forfeitures, was 134,989 units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $24.13. The number of unearned Performance-RSUs granted at target in 2019, net of forfeitures, was 110,023 units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $33.70 per unit. The number of unearned Performance-RSUs granted at target in 2020, net of forfeitures, was 206,587 units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $21.76 per unit. The number of unearned Market-Based-RSUs granted in 2019, net of forfeitures, was 109,946 units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $49.12 per unit. The number of unearned Market-Based-RSUs granted in 2020, net of forfeitures, was 190,020 units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $30.54. Time-RSUs are included in the listing of earned and outstanding RSUs when granted.
As of September 30, 2020, the unrecognized compensation expense associated with earned RSUs was $11.1 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 1.93 years. 
Options. The number of the Company’s outstanding stock options as of September 30, 2020, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, are presented below:
  Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price
Options outstanding as of December 31, 2019 380,180  $ 26.01 
Granted 233,888  20.92 
Exercised (13,020) 22.31 
Forfeited (9,626) 31.99 
Options outstanding as of September 30, 2020 591,422  $ 23.98 
Options vested and exercisable as of September 30, 2020 196,185  $ 24.61 
As of September 30, 2020, the unrecognized compensation expense associated with outstanding options was approximately $2.7 million, which will be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 1.86 years. The weighted average contractual term associated with outstanding options was 8.42 years as of September 30, 2020.

(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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 include outstanding stock options, RSUs, and the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding warrants and the underlying shares exercisable under the Company’s 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020. The potentially dilutive effect of outstanding warrants and the underlying shares exercisable under 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 as described in Note 9. Current and Long-Term Debt, was also excluded as the effect is anti-dilutive.
The details of the Company's Earnings per Share calculation are as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2020 2019 2020 2019
(in thousands, excluding share and per share amounts)
Net income available to common shareholders $ 5,732  $ 20,864  $ 9,565  $ 35,654 
Weighted average common basic shares outstanding (for basic calculation) 44,506,874  45,058,226  44,557,103  46,040,027 
Dilutive effect of outstanding common stock options and RSUs 702,822  445,939  825,584  435,326 
Weighted average common dilutive shares outstanding (for diluted calculation) 45,209,696  45,504,165  45,382,687  46,475,353 
Net income per common share - basic $ 0.13  $ 0.46  $ 0.21  $ 0.77 
Net income per common share - diluted $ 0.13  $ 0.46  $ 0.21  $ 0.77 

The computations of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 exclude approximately 900,000 and 390,000 potentially dilutive common shares, respectively, due to the effect of including these shares in the computation would have been antidilutive. In addition, the computations of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 exclude approximately 175,000 and 40,000 weighted average dilutive shares, respectively, that are contingently issuable, consisting of market-based and performance based awards for which all necessary conditions had not been satisfied.

(6) Shareholders' Equity
Share Repurchases. On March 26, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors ("Board") had authorized a share repurchase program, enabling the repurchase of up to $50 million of its Class A ordinary shares through August 31, 2020. The Company exhausted this authorization in September 2019. Subsequently, on November 21, 2019, the Company announced that its Board had authorized the repurchase of an additional $50 million of its Class A ordinary shares through December 31, 2020. Share repurchases under the authorized plans could be effected on behalf of the Company through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, pursuant to SEC trading rules.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased and canceled 505,699 of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $16.9 million, inclusive of stamp taxes of $0.1 million. On April 1, 2020, the Company announced the suspension of its buyback program as part of its Pandemic related business update. The buyback program remains suspended as of September 30, 2020.
Additional Paid-In Capital. Included in the balance of Additional paid-in capital are the net amounts paid to settle the convertible note hedges and the associated warrants that the Company entered into in conjunction with the issuance of its Convertible Notes in 2013. These instruments were partially settled upon the partial repurchase of the Convertible Notes in June 2020, in proportionate amounts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company received $0.4 million upon settlement of convertible note hedges that were canceled and paid $1.4 million to settle the warrants that were canceled. These figures are reported together with the associated fees in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity. See Note 9. Current and Long-Term Debt for additional information on the Convertible Notes and the related equity instruments.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, net. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net, is a separate component of Shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company records unrealized gains and losses related to its interest rate derivative contracts, net of taxes, in the Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net line within the 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 lines in the 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 contracts in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net within the 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets and into continuing operations as a tax expense when the Company ceases to hold any interest rate swap contracts. As of September 30, 2020, the disproportionate tax effect is $14.7 million.
(7) Intangible Assets 
Goodwill
The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of its fiscal year end, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate goodwill could be impaired. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, in response to the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company performed a qualitative assessment and determined that it was not more likely than not that the carrying value of its U.S., United Kingdom ("U.K."), Australia & New Zealand, South Africa, Germany and Mexico reporting units exceeded their fair value. As such, the Company determined that a quantitative assessment was not necessary for these reporting units. For the Canada reporting unit, which was partially impaired as of December 31, 2019, the Company bypassed the optional qualitative assessment and performed a quantitative assessment as of March 31, 2020. For this quantitative assessment, the Company prepared a revised cash flow forecast that incorporated the estimated Pandemic impact, assumptions on operating efficiencies and resulting cash flows over time at a discount rate of 9.7%. Based on this quantitative test, the fair value of the Canada reporting unit marginally exceeded its carrying value and no additional goodwill impairment was recognized.

The Company did not identify any impairment indicators associated with its reporting units during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Canada reporting unit's goodwill was approximately $101 million at September 30, 2020. To the extent that the Company is unable to meet its forecasts in the future or there are changes in the discount rate, further impairment charges are possible.
The following table presents the net carrying amounts of the Company’s goodwill as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, as well as the changes in the net carrying amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, by segment. As of September 30, 2020, the Company held no significant indefinite-lived assets. For additional information related to the Company’s segments, see Note 17. Segment Information.

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 29, 2020, the Company entered into a second amendment to its second amended and restated credit agreement (the "Second Amendment"). Given the unprecedented conditions across all of the markets in which the Company operates, due to the impact of the Pandemic and as a precautionary measure, the Company sought this amendment to provide financial covenant relief should transactions and corresponding revenues not recover or further weaken from more recent results. With this amendment, the covenant levels for the Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Second Amendment) were revised to provide for a Restricted Period, which will end on (a) October 1, 2021; or (b) the date on which (i) the Company terminates the Restricted Period at its election and (ii) as modified by the third amendment, the Total Net Leverage ratio does not exceed 4.50 to 1.0 (the "Restricted Period"). Under the Second Amendment, in consideration for the financial covenant relief, the interest rates for borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit and fees payable on any unused amounts of the revolving credit facility are subject to certain upward adjustments, including new applicable margins above base rates and commitment fee rates when the Total Net Leverage Ratio exceeds 4.00 to 1.0 and amended base rate floors during the Restricted Period. The Second Amendment provides that the Company is subject to some additional limitations under certain covenant baskets while financial covenant relief remains in effect.
On June 29, 2020, the Company entered into a third amendment to its second amended and restated credit agreement (as amended, the "Amended Credit Agreement"), in conjunction with the Term Loan issuance. The third amendment decreased the Company's available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit agreement from $750 million to $600 million and modified various terms, conditions and covenants. As modified by the Second Amendment, most changes during the period of financial covenant relief remain in place. The Amended Credit Agreement matures on September 19, 2024.
Due to the reduction in capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company expensed approximately $1.2 million of the deferred financing costs and amendment fees, presented within Amortization of deferred financing costs and note discount line in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The deferred financing costs associated with the Amended Credit Agreement are classified within Intangible assets, net and presented within Note 7. Intangible Assets.
21

Each of the Guarantors, as defined in the Amended 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.

Financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement are determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Company is required to maintain an Interest Coverage Ratio, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, of no less than 3.00 to 1.00. During the Restricted Period, the Amended Credit Agreement provides for adjustments to the Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant as follows: (i) for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020, the Total Net Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 4.25 to 1.0; (ii) for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020, the Total Net Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 5.25 to 1.0; (iii) for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2021, the Total Net Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 5.50 to 1.0; (iv) for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, the Total Net Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 5.25 to 1.0; and (v) for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021, the Total Net Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 5.00 to 1.0. For each fiscal quarter ending on or after the end of the Restricted Period, the Company shall not permit the Total Net Leverage ratio to exceed 4.50 to 1.0.
Additionally, the Company is limited in its ability to make certain payments. Such restricted payments are generally not permitted in the Restricted Period; however, outside of the Restricted Period the Company may generally make such restricted payments so long as no event of default exists at the time of such payment and would not result therefrom and the Total Net Leverage Ratio is less than 3.75 to 1.00 at the time such restricted payment is made. As of September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants and ratios under the Amended Credit Agreement.

The Amended 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, transactions with affiliates and sale and leaseback transactions.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its $600 million revolving credit facility. The Company had $8.7 million outstanding in letters of credit as of September 30, 2020.
Term Loan Facility

On June 29, 2020, the Company entered into the Term Loan, by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries (including Cardtronics USA, Inc. as the “Borrower”), the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. Pursuant to the Term Loan, the Company borrowed $500 million of aggregate principal. Upon closing, the Company used the net proceeds to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Term Loan was issued with an original issue discount of 175 basis points and interest accrues from June 29, 2020, at the rate of LIBOR plus 400 basis points, with a 1.00% LIBOR floor. Interest is payable quarterly, or in shorter intervals for LIBOR borrowings with a duration of less than three months.
The Term Loan matures on June 29, 2027 and requires installment principal repayments equal to 1% of the initial aggregate principal per annum, paid quarterly, with the outstanding balance due on the maturity date. Certain other mandatory prepayments, including mandatory prepayments based on Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) on an annual basis, are required commencing following the end of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. Outstanding balances are fully prepayable on a voluntary basis at par, subject to premiums for certain repricing or refinancing transactions, but may not be borrowed again once prepaid.

The guarantors of the Term Loan (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) have guaranteed the full and punctual payment of the obligations under the Term Loan and the obligations under the Term Loan are secured by substantially all of the assets of such guarantors.

The Term Loan contains 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, transactions with affiliates, sale and leaseback transactions and payment capacity. The Term Loan does not have any financial covenants.

$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 at the rate of 5.50% per annum and is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on May 1st and November 1st of each year. 
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 and Term Loan. The 2025 Notes are structurally subordinated to all third-party liabilities of any of Cardtronics plc’s subsidiaries (excluding the 2025 Notes Issuers) that do not guarantee the 2025 Notes.
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 indenture to the 2025 Notes). 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.
The 2025 Notes contain various covenants restricting the Company's investments, indebtedness, and payments.
1.00% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2020 and Related Equity Instruments

On November 19, 2013, Cardtronics, Inc. issued the Convertible Notes at par value of $287.5 million. After bifurcating the embedded conversion option and classifying it within equity, the Company recorded the notes at a discount, determining that the fair value of the debt component to be $215.8 million. Taking into account the discount resulting from the bifurcation, the effective interest rate recognized on the Convertible Notes is approximately 5.26%. Interest on the Convertible Notes accrues at the rate of 1.00% per annum and is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year.

In June 2020, the Company repurchased and cancelled an aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes equal to $171.9 million. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $3.0 million in conjunction with the repurchase and cancellation of these notes.
The Convertible Notes that remain outstanding have a conversion price of $52.35 per share, which equals a conversion rate of 19.1022 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes. The principal amount outstanding at September 30, 2020, of $115.6 million, is convertible into approximately 2.2 million shares. The conversion rate, however, is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The remaining Convertible Notes became convertible on September 1, 2020.
Upon conversion, holders of the Convertible Notes are entitled to receive a combination of cash and shares, subject to the trading price per share and calculations outlined in the indenture under which the Convertible Notes have been issued. 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 to purchase all or a portion of their Convertible Notes for 100% of the notes’ par value plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

Total interest expense related to Convertible Notes $ 1,599  $ 3,789  $ 9,363  $ 11,240 

The Company’s carrying value of the Convertible Notes consisted of the following:

  (In thousands)
Principal balance $ 115,568  $ 287,500 
Unamortized discount and capitalized debt issuance costs (874) (11,797)
Net carrying amount of Convertible Notes $ 114,694  $ 275,703 
Concurrent 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. Consistent with the potential conversion of the original $287.5 million principal amount, Cardtronics, Inc. entered into convertible note hedge purchasing call options granting Cardtronics Inc. the right to acquire up to approximately 5.5 million common shares with an initial strike price of $52.35. Cardtronics Inc. also sold warrants related to approximately 5.5 million common shares with a strike price of $73.29. The amounts allocated to both the note hedge and warrants were recorded in the Shareholders' equity section in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On June 30, 2020, the Company entered into agreements with the counterparties of the convertible note hedges and warrants to terminate a proportionate amount of the instruments, corresponding to the portion of the Convertible Notes cancelled in June 2020, (“Partial Unwind”), for net consideration to the counterparties of $1.0 million. Following the Partial Unwind, the Company retained the right to acquire up to approximately 2.2 million common shares with a strike price of $52.35.
The call options under the note hedge automatically become exercisable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and terminate on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding December 1, 2020. The remaining 2.2 million warrants outstanding have a strike price of $73.29 and expire incrementally on a series of expiration dates from June 2021 through August 30, 2021.
If the share price of the Company's stock 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, at the Company’s election, (i) issue additional shares to the warrant holders or (ii) settle the difference between the price of the shares and the strike price of the warrants in cash to the warrant holders.
(10) Asset Retirement Obligations 
Asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) consist of costs to deinstall the Company’s ATMs and restore the ATM sites to their original condition. These costs to deinstall ATMs are estimated based on current market rates. In most cases, the Company is contractually required to perform the deinstallation of company-owned ATMs and, in some cases, site restoration work. For each group of similar ATM placements, the Company estimates the fair value of the future ARO based on the discounted estimated future cash flows and recognizes the amount as a liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company capitalizes the initial estimated fair value of the future ARO as part of the cost basis of the related assets and depreciates the ARO assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which are based on the average time period that an ATM is
24

installed in a location before being deinstalled. The ARO liabilities, which are recognized at discounted amounts, are accreted to their estimated future value over the same period of time.
The changes in the Company’s ARO liability consisted of the following (in thousands):
Asset retirement obligations at December 31, 2019 $ 61,194 
Additional obligations 2,825 
Accretion expense 1,204 
Payments (4,196)

Asset retirement obligations, excluding current portion, at September 30, 2020 $ 54,607 
For additional information related to the Company’s ARO with respect to its fair value measurements, see Note 14. Fair Value Measurements.
(11) Leases 

The Company leases facilities consisting of office and warehouse space as well as vehicles and office equipment. The Company's facility leases have various remaining terms extending over 10 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 3 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.

In addition, certain ATM placement agreements are deemed to contain an operating lease of merchant space under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, Leases. These ATM placement agreements have remaining terms extending from less than 1 year to more than 5 years. These arrangements 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 the counterparty lacks the practical ability to substitute alternative space. The renewal provisions under ATM placement agreements vary.

The Company's through-the-wall ATM placement agreements that require fixed payments are deemed to contain an operating lease. These placement agreements may also require variable merchant commissions based on the type and volume of transactions conducted at the ATMs at their respective location. To the extent the merchant commissions are variable, the commission payments to the merchants are not deemed part of the lease payment that gives rise to the operating lease asset and operating lease liability recognized on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the merchant commissions may also change, in accordance with the terms of these agreements, in response to changes in interchange fees or interest rates. Certain Company facility leases require variable payments based on an index or 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 September 30, 2020, 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.

(13) Derivative Financial Instruments 
Risk Management Objectives of Using Derivatives - Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk associated with its vault cash rental obligations and its variable rate debt. The Company uses 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. Intermittently, the Company has also used interest rate swap or cap contracts to mitigate its exposure to floating interest rates on its variable rate debt.
The majority of the Company’s Interest Rate Derivatives serve to mitigate interest rate risk exposure 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 that are paid 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 and from time to time the interest on certain debt from floating-rate to a fixed 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations has been reduced.
Risk Management Objectives of Using Derivatives - Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The Company is also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to its operations outside the U.S. The Company has at times used foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate its foreign exchange rate risk associated with certain anticipated transactions. The Company regularly designates its foreign currency derivatives as cash flow hedges, however, the Company is not presently party to any foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges.

Derivative Accounting Policy
The Interest Rate Derivatives discussed above are used by the Company to hedge its exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributable to a particular risk and therefore typically qualify as and are designated as cash flow hedging instruments.

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 anticipated vault cash rental obligations, anticipated Credit Agreement borrowings or other variable rate debt borrowings. Therefore, the amount of ineffectiveness associated with the Interest Rate Derivatives has historically been immaterial. If the Company concludes 1) that the obligations that have been hedged are no longer probable or 2) that the underlying terms of the 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 Interest Rate Derivative instruments prior to their expiration dates.

The Company recognizes its Interest Rate Derivative contracts as assets or liabilities at fair value and the accumulated changes in the fair values of the related Interest Rate Derivative contracts are reported net of taxes in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For additional information related to the Company’s interest rate swap and cap contracts and the associated fair value measurements, see Note 14. Fair Value Measurements.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassifies the gain or loss into earnings within the Cost of ATM operating revenues, Interest expense, net, or Other income lines of the 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.

None of the Company’s existing derivative contracts contain credit-risk-related contingent features.

(14) Fair Value Measurements 
The following tables provide the financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 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.

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.
33

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.
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 market observable inputs and other significant non-observable inputs, as well as projections based on the Company’s best estimate of future operational results upon which the payment of these obligations are contingent. The contingent consideration payment amounts are estimated based upon a formula and projected performance relative to certain agreed-upon earnings targets. Subsequent to the Spark acquisition, the Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value and account for the interdependency between the 2019 and 2020 performance periods. However, effective December 31, 2019, at the end of the first measurement period, the Company revised its methodology and used a Black-Scholes based model to estimate the fair value of the payments.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company paid $5.2 million to satisfy the 2019 portion of its obligation under the Spark acquisition contingent consideration arrangement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized mark-to-market gains of $2.1 million, to revise the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability. The Company also recognized a net foreign exchange gains of $2.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, to remeasure the South African Rand denominated liability. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 the mark-to-market and foreign exchange impacts were immaterial. Both the revision to the estimated fair values and the net foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the Other income line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Company’s acquisition related contingent consideration liability was $6.8 million, payable in the first quarter of 2021.
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 changes could result in a material change in the estimated contingent liability. The estimates and significant non-observable inputs may differ from actual results.
Long-term debt. The carrying amounts of the long-term debt balances related to borrowings under the Company’s Revolving credit facility and Term Loan approximate fair value due to the fact that any outstanding borrowings are subject to short-term floating interest rates. As of September 30, 2020, the fair values of the 2020 Convertible Notes and 2025 Notes were approximately $115.4 million and $301.8 million, respectively, based on the quoted prices in markets that are not active (Level 2). For additional information related to long-term debt, see Note 9. Current and 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 three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 totaled $2.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
Interest rate derivatives. As of September 30, 2020, the recognized fair value of the Company’s Interest Rate Derivatives resulted in current and long-term liabilities totaling $58.7 million. 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 accruals 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.
On March 1, 2019, the Company was named as a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit stylized as Kristen Schertzer, et al. v. Bank of America, N.A., et al., Case No. 3:19-cv-00264, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, which makes allegations of harm related to balance inquiry transactions. On September 28, 2020, the district court issued a denial of the Company’s motion to dismiss and the matter is proceeding to the discovery phase. Due to the early stages of this matter, including uncertainty related to class certification and potential amount claimed by the class, the Company is unable to determine if liability will arise from this matter or estimate the range of any potential liability. The Company will vigorously defend this matter.
Gain Contingency
In 2014, the Valuation Office Agency (or “VOA”), an executive agency of HM Revenue & Customs in England and Wales, took action to amend its business ratings list going back to 2010, to create separate entries on these lists for the sites of thousands of ATMs. Similar steps were taken by the equivalent agencies to the VOA in Scotland and Northern Ireland in their respective jurisdictions. Before 2014, the ATM sites in each location had not been distinguished from the host store. Therefore, the ATMs located in host stores such as supermarkets and convenience stores were not subject to business rates, a tax on commercial property. The effect of each of the amendments was to include the ATM sites in the business ratings lists as separate hereditaments with their own ratable value, subjecting the sites to business rates taxation. The Company and its merchant partners paid the business rates, as required.
In 2018, various appellants, including a number of large supermarkets and the Company (together, the “Appellants”), appealed the matter to the England and Wales Court of Appeal (the “Court of Appeal”) after having lost appeals to the Valuation Tribunal for England (“VTE”) and Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) in 2016 and 2017, respectively. In late 2018, the Court of Appeal ruled in favor of the Appellants and found that the amendments to the ratings list for a large number of ATM location types should not have been affected by the VOA, or sustained by the VTE and Upper Tribunal. The VOA appealed to the U.K. Supreme Court, and on May 20, 2020, the Supreme Court dismissed the VOA appeal and upheld the decision of the Court of Appeal.
Following the Supreme Court ruling, the VOA is in process of amending the business rating lists for England and Wales and the Company has recovered some of the amounts paid to the tax authorities in respect of the ATMs subject to the amended lists in numerous local tax jurisdictions for the periods spanning from 2010 to October 2020. The Company estimates that approximately 31 million U.K. pounds sterling remains recoverable from the various tax authorities, net of amounts that have already been recovered or are estimated to be due to merchant partners of the Company, some of which had paid indirectly these business rates. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded net cash recoveries of approximately $11.8 million, which is reflected as a reduction to the Cost of ATM operating revenues line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company seeks to ensure that all necessary amendments to the ratings list are made and that all recoverable amounts paid to the tax authorities are collected. The Company's estimate of the total recoverable amount is subject to change as the Company continues its analysis of the business rates paid during the 10 year period. Due to the complexity in administering and uncertainty of these collections, the Company will recognize the business rates recoveries only when received.
The Supreme Court ruling does not apply to Scotland or Northern Ireland and business rates in those jurisdictions are still subject to valuation tribunal appeals and assessments. Accordingly, the Company continues to recognize business rate taxes in Scotland and Northern Ireland, net of any amounts recorded as receivables that are deemed recoverable under contracts with merchants.

Other Commitments
Asset retirement obligations. The Company’s ARO consist primarily of costs to remove 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 September 30, 2020, the Company had $60.3 million accrued for these liabilities. For additional information, see Note 10. Asset Retirement Obligations.
Acquisition related contingent consideration. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company paid $5.2 million to satisfy the 2019 portion of its obligation under the Spark acquisition contingent consideration arrangement. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $6.8 million accrued for its 2020 obligation. For additional information related to the Spark acquisition related contingent consideration, see Note 14. Fair Value Measurements.
(16) Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax (benefit) expense for the periods presented was as follows:
  Three Months Ended
September 30
Nine Months Ended
September 30
  2020 2019 2020 2019
  (In thousands, excluding percentages)
Income tax expense (benefit) $10,049 $4,086 $(4,375) $10,780
Effective tax rate 63.7% 16.4% (84.5)% 23.2%

The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $10.0 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 63.7%, compared to an expense of $4.1 million, and an effective tax rate of 16.4%, for the same period of 2019. The Company’s income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $4.4 million resulting in an effective tax rate of (84.5)%, compared to an expense of $10.8 million, and an effective tax rate of 23.2%, for the same period of 2019.

The increase in tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period of 2019, was primarily attributable to the mix of earnings across our jurisdictions including increased losses incurred in countries where the Company realizes no tax benefit. The decrease in the tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period of 2019, was attributable to lower pre-tax income during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and to a non-recurring benefit from the carryback of net operating losses to prior tax years at the higher 35% U.S. tax rate, compared to the current tax rate of 21%, as a result of recent changes in U.S. tax law. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law in the U.S., which provided for an elective five-year carryback of net operating losses (NOLs) generated in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021. As a result of this change in law and since the Company incurred net operating losses in 2018, the Company carried back these 2018 losses to prior periods to receive refunds of taxes paid at higher rates in earlier periods.
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 Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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.
(17) Segment Information
As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s operations consisted of 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,
36

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, together with U.S. GAAP measures, to manage and measure the performance of its segments. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure 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 excludes depreciation and accretion, amortization of deferred financing costs and note discounts, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, certain other income and expense amounts, acquisition related expenses, gains or losses on disposal and impairment of assets, certain non-operating expenses (if applicable in a particular period), and includes an adjustment for noncontrolling interests. Depreciation and accretion expense and amortization of intangible assets are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA 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, as defined by the Company, is a non-GAAP financial measure provided as a complement to the financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It may not be defined in the same manner by all companies and therefore may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. In evaluating the Company’s performance as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measurement. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating loss, net loss, cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities, or other income or cash flow measures contained within the consolidated financial statements.

(19) Concentration Risk
Significant merchant customers. During the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2020, the Company derived approximately 23% 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 6% of total revenue for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2020, were Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc., Co-operative Food, CVS Caremark Corporation, 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 relationships with these merchants. As of September 30, 2020, the contracts the Company has with its five largest merchant customers have a weighted average remaining life of approximately 3 years.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included under Item 1. Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q and our Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
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”). We are the world’s largest ATM owner/operator, providing services to over 285,000 ATMs. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, 68% of our total revenues were derived from operations in North America (including our ATM operations in the United States ("U.S."), Canada, and Mexico), 25% 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 7% of our total revenues were derived from operations in Australia and New Zealand. Included in our network are approximately 198,000 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, casinos, 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 provide processing services for issuers of debit cards.
We also own and operate the Allpoint network (“Allpoint”), the largest retail based surcharge-free ATM network (based on the number of participating ATMs). Allpoint has over 55,000 participating ATMs and provides surcharge-free ATM access to nearly 1,200 participating credit unions, banks, digital banks, financial technology companies, 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 a fixed monthly fee per cardholder and/or a fixed fee per transaction that is paid by participants. Allpoint includes a majority of our Company owned 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 the Allpoint 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, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”).
COVID-19 Update
On March 11, 2020, the respiratory virus commonly known as COVID-19 (the “Pandemic”) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and by late March 2020, there were confirmed cases and deaths from the Pandemic in each of the countries in which we operate. In response, national and local governments instituted various travel restrictions and shelter-in-place orders while generally deeming financial institutions, grocery stores, pharmacies and convenience stores as “critically essential” in providing their services to citizens during this global emergency. Although our primary focus has been and will remain on protecting the health and well-being of our employees and the communities in which we operate, we continue to coordinate with our partners, where possible, to ensure continued and seamless operations of our ATMs.
45

Certain locations, such as casinos, theme parks, malls, tourist-focused ATMs, education and other ATM sites were closed for all or part of the second and third quarters of 2020. Many of these locations remain closed to varying degrees as a result of the Pandemic. At the end of September 2020, closed ATMs, including but not limited to ATMs at casinos, theme parks, malls, tourist-focused ATMs, and education locations, represented approximately 5% of our total Company-owned ATM fleet, an improvement from 8% as of the end of June 2020. Due to the Pandemic, we have experienced decreased transaction volumes of varying degrees across our network, depending on the location. Although same-store transactions have continued to improve across most geographies since late March 2020, we expect to continue to see transaction volume declines year over year for the remainder of 2020. The majority of our revenues are transaction volume dependent; therefore, these anticipated transaction declines are expected to result in lower fourth quarter 2020 revenues compared to the same period in 2019 and may continue to impact our results in future periods beyond 2020.
In response to the Pandemic, we have implemented business continuity plans, with most of our employees working from home since March 16, without issue. Certain of our employees continue to perform cash delivery, maintenance and other technical services on site and at certain office and warehouse locations to ensure the continued operations of our ATMs. We have also implemented cost reduction plans and have taken action to manage expenses, reduce capital spending and have suspended our opportunistic share repurchase program to optimize cash flow during the current environment. We continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that could alter our business operations as may be required by national, federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and shareholders. In spite of the transaction declines that may continue in the remainder of 2020, we anticipate generating positive free cash flows after considering our required capital expenditures. See Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 9. Long-Term Debt. and Part II, Item 1A - “Risk Factors” - “We are subject to business cycles, seasonality, and other outside factors such as extreme weather, natural disasters or health emergencies, including the recent outbreak of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic that has adversely impacted our business, and that may in the future have a material adverse impact on our business.”
Other Recent Trends and Events
Withdrawal transaction and revenue trends - Our two largest markets are the U.S. and U.K., and on a combined basis, these markets represent approximately 80% of our revenues. Our U.S. same-store cash withdrawal transactions increased by approximately 1% during the three months ended September 30, 2020 when compared to same period in 2019. Our U.K. same-store cash withdrawal transactions decreased by approximately 33% during the three months ended September 30, 2020 when compared to same period in 2019. In both cases, and each of our other jurisdictions, same-store transaction results have been adversely impacted by the Pandemic beginning in mid-March 2020.
Following the momentum we experienced in the latter part of 2019, we saw a strong start to 2020. In the U.S., our same-store withdrawal transactions were up 6% from January through mid-March. However, the Pandemic, and the associated government-mandated restrictions, began to impact transaction volumes starting in the second week of March, with U.S. same-store transaction volumes decreasing approximately 30%-35% year-over-year in the latter part of March. These transaction declines improved during the month of April when we first noted a modest improvement in withdrawal transaction volumes, correlated with higher unemployment benefits and other government stimulus programs. The improvement continued throughout the remainder of the second and third quarters of 2020 as the shelter in place restrictions began to ease and consumer activity resumed to varying extents in our markets. In the U.S., same-store withdrawal transaction volumes in the third quarter of 2020 were up approximately 1%, as indicated above, but down 3% when locations that remain closed are included. Both measures represent a notable improvement from March. The U.K. also experienced a notable improvement from late March and early April. In the U.K., during the last week of March through the first week of April, we saw same-store withdrawal transaction volumes decrease approximately 60-65% year-over-year, consistent with overall market volume. These withdrawal transaction declines began to improve later in April and volumes continued to improve throughout the remainder of the second and into the third quarter. U.K. same-store transaction volumes in the third quarter of 2020 were down approximately 33% year-over-year, as indicated above, and down 34% when locations that remain closed are included. Further social gathering restrictions or the introduction of additional restrictions in any or all of our markets would likely adversely impact our transaction volumes. Conversely, we would expect to recover more transaction volume as social gathering restrictions are reduced or removed in each market as we have seen in certain regions.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2019  
ATM operating revenues. ATM operating revenues, during the three months ended September 30, 2020, decreased $66.1 million, or 19.8%, compared to the same period of 2019. Absent foreign currency exchange rate movements, ATM operating revenues would have decreased $68.5 million or 20.5% due to the impacts of the Pandemic that resulted in lower transaction volumes. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by growth in the bank-branding and surcharge free network revenues in North America.

The following table details, by segment, the changes in the various components of ATM operating revenues:

Total ATM operating revenues $ 267,320  $ 333,384  $ (66,064) (19.8) %

North America. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, ATM operating revenues in our North America segment decreased $27.3 million, or 13.1%, compared to the same period of 2019 due to the impacts of the Pandemic that resulted in lower transaction volumes driving lower surcharge and interchange revenues as well as lower managed services and processing revenues. The decrease in revenues was partially offset by growth in the bank-branding and surcharge free network revenues in North America, driven by the addition of new branding arrangements and additional revenue from our Allpoint Network.
Europe & Africa. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, ATM operating revenues in our Europe & Africa segment decreased $34.5 million, or 33.6% compared to the same period of 2019. Absent the foreign currency exchange rate movements, our ATM operating revenues would have decreased by $36.6 million, or 35.6%, primarily due to the impacts of the Pandemic that resulted in lower transaction volumes driving lower surcharge and interchange revenues as well as lower managed services and processing revenues. The travel restrictions associated with the Pandemic resulted in a decrease in dynamic currency conversion revenues (recognized within surcharge revenues) of approximately $10.4 million. These declines were partially offset by an increase in revenues in South Africa attributable to an increase in the number of transacting ATMs.
Australia & New Zealand. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, ATM operating revenues in our Australia & New Zealand segment decreased $5.2 million, or 21.5%, compared to the same period of 2019. Absent the foreign currency exchange rate movements, our ATM operating revenues would have decreased by $6.0 million, or 24.5%, primarily due to a reduction in the number of transacting ATMs and the impacts of the Pandemic that resulted in lower transaction volumes driving lower surcharge and interchange revenues.
ATM product sales and other revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, ATM product sales and other revenues decreased $6.0 million, or 33.4%, compared to the same period of 2019. The decrease was primarily related to lower equipment sales in the U.S.

ATM operating revenues. ATM operating revenues, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, decreased $177.1 million, or 18.5%, compared to the same period of 2019. Absent foreign currency exchange rate movements, ATM operating revenues would have decreased $172.3 million or 18.0% due to the impacts of the Pandemic that resulted in lower transaction volumes. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by growth in bank-branding and surcharge-free network revenues in North America.

North America. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, ATM operating revenues in our North America segment decreased $59.5 million, or 9.9%, compared to the same period of 2019 due to the impacts of the Pandemic that resulted in lower transaction volumes driving lower surcharge and interchange revenues as well as lower managed services and processing revenues. The decrease in revenues was partially offset by growth in the bank-branding and surcharge free network revenues in North America, driven by the addition of new branding arrangements and additional revenue from our Allpoint Network.
Europe & Africa. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, ATM operating revenues in our Europe & Africa segment decreased $97.6 million, or 33.3%, compared to the same period of 2019, primarily due to the impacts of the Pandemic that resulted in lower transaction volumes driving lower surcharge and interchange revenues as well as managed services and processing revenues. The travel restrictions associated with the Pandemic resulted in a decrease in dynamic currency conversion revenues (recognized within surcharge revenues) of approximately $19.6 million. Foreign currency exchange rate movements had an insignificant impact on results during the period. The decline was partially offset by an increase in revenues in South Africa attributable to an increase in the number of transacting ATMs.

Australia & New Zealand. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, ATM operating revenues in our Australia & New Zealand segment decreased $23.4 million, or 31.2%, compared to the same period of 2019. Absent the foreign currency exchange rate movements, our ATM operating revenues would have decreased 21.8 million, or 29.1% primarily due to a reduction in the number of transacting ATMs and the impacts of the Pandemic that resulted in lower transaction volumes driving lower surcharge and interchange revenues as well as lower managed services and processing revenues.
ATM product sales and other revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, ATM product sales and other revenues decreased $14.3 million, or 27.8%, compared to the same period of 2019. The decrease was primarily related to lower equipment sales in the U.S. and lower ATM servicing fees in the U.K.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2019
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 September 30, 2020 decreased $43.6 million, or 20.9%, compared to the same period of 2019. Absent foreign currency exchange rate movements, our Cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangibles assets) decreased $44.7 million, or 21.4%. This decrease is consistent with the decline in revenues due to the Pandemic that resulted in lower transaction volumes and the reduced cost of operations across all of our segments related to our restructuring activities and workforce reductions. The decrease is also attributable to the recovery of previously paid business rate taxes in the U.K., discussed below.

North America. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, our cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets) in our North America segment decreased $14.0 million, or 10.4%, compared to the same period of 2019. This decline was due to the Pandemic that resulted in lower transaction volumes driving lower merchant commissions, vault cash rental fees and other operating costs. The decrease was also due to lower operating costs resulting from our restructuring activities implemented during the second quarter of 2020. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in other cost of cash related to higher armored costs to ensure cash availability and higher repair and maintenance costs driven by an increase in company-owned ATMs utilizing third-party maintenance, including an increase in the number of full function ATMs.
Europe & Africa. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, our cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangibles assets) in our Europe & Africa segment decreased by $27.4 million, or 46.0%, compared to the same period of 2019. Excluding foreign currency exchange rate movements, our cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets) decreased $28.3 million or 47.4%. This decrease was primarily due to the Pandemic that resulted in lower transaction volumes driving lower merchant commissions, vault cash rental fees and other operating costs. The decrease was also due to the closure of certain cash management facilities and related workforce reductions as part of our restructuring activities. In addition, in May 2020, the U.K. Supreme Court eliminated our obligation to pay business rate taxes to certain local authorities that resulted in net cash recoveries of $11.8 million related to previous periods, which is reflected as a cost reduction in the Other expenses line within the Cost of ATM operating revenues, as well as the ongoing reduction in business rate tax expense during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period of 2019.
Australia & New Zealand. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, our cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangibles assets) in our Australia & New Zealand segment decreased $3.2 million, or 19.0%, compared to the same period of 2019. Excluding foreign currency exchange rate movements, our cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets) decreased $3.8 million or 22.1%. This decline was primarily due to the Pandemic that resulted in lower transaction volumes driving lower merchant commissions, vault cash rental fees, armored car services and other operating costs.
Cost of ATM product sales and other revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, our cost of ATM product sales and other revenues decreased 47.4% from the same period of 2019. The decrease was primarily related to lower equipment sales in the U.S.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $113.1 million, or 18.1%, compared to the same period of 2019. Absent foreign currency exchange rate movements, our Cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangibles assets) decreased $109.3 million, or 17.5%. This decrease is consistent with the decline in revenues due to the Pandemic that resulted in lower transaction volumes and the reduced cost of operations across all of our segments related to our temporary salary reductions, workforce reductions and restructuring activities. The decrease is also attributable to the recovery of previously paid business rate taxes in the U.K., discussed below.

North America. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets) in our North America segment decreased $30.6 million, or 7.8%, compared to the same period of 2019. This decline was primarily due to the Pandemic that resulted in lower transaction volumes driving lower merchant commissions, vault cash rental fees and other operating costs. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in other cost of cash related to higher armored costs to ensure cash availability and higher cash losses in the U.S as well as higher repair and maintenance costs driven by an increase in company-owned ATMs utilizing third-party maintenance, including an increase in the number of full function ATMs.

Excluding foreign currency exchange rate movements, our cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets) decreased $67.5 million or 36.5%. This decrease was primarily due to the Pandemic that resulted in lower transaction volumes driving lower merchant commissions, vault cash rental fees and other operating costs. The decrease was also due to the closure of certain cash management facilities as part of our restructuring activities and lower employee costs due to workforce reductions and the temporary salary reductions implemented during the second quarter of 2020. In addition, in May 2020, the U.K. Supreme Court eliminated our obligation to pay business rate taxes to certain local authorities that resulted in net cash recoveries of $11.8 million related to previous periods, which is reflected as a cost reduction in the Other expenses line within the Cost of ATM operating revenues. Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 also reflect the $3.7 million reversal of previously accrued obligations to pay business rate taxes as well as the ongoing reduction in business rate tax expense, compared to the same period of 2019.
Australia & New Zealand. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangibles assets) in our Australia & New Zealand segment decreased $17.0 million, or 31.6%, compared to the same period of 2019. Excluding foreign currency exchange rate movements, our cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets) decreased $15.9 million or 29.6%. This decline was primarily due to the Pandemic that resulted in lower transaction volumes driving lower merchant commissions, vault cash rental fees, armored car services and other operating costs. The decrease was also due to lower employee costs due to the temporary salary reductions during the second quarter of 2020 in response to the Pandemic.
Cost of ATM product sales and other revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our cost of ATM product sales and other revenues decreased 33.1% compared to the same period of 2019. The decrease was primarily related to lower equipment sales in the U.S. as a result of the Pandemic.

These decreases were primarily a result of lower employee compensation costs due to temporary salary reductions during the three months ended June 30, 2020, restructuring activities and lower incentive compensation costs as well as lower professional fees and other cost reductions implemented as a result of the Pandemic.
Share-based compensation expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, share-based compensation expense increased $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, compared to the same period of 2019 as 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
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we continued certain corporate reorganization and cost reduction initiatives that began in 2019. In addition, we implemented additional cost reduction measures during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 in response to the impacts of the Pandemic. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred $2.0 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of pre-tax expenses related to these restructuring activities that primarily included facility closures, workforce reductions and other related charges.

This increase was primarily attributable to interest on the $500 million term loan facility entered into in June 2020 ("Term Loan"), partially offset by the repurchase and cancellation of a portion of our 1% convertible senior notes ("Convertible Notes") and a comparatively lower average outstanding debt balance on our revolving credit facility during the respective periods. For additional information related to our outstanding borrowings, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 9. Current and Long-Term Debt.
Other income
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we realized a net gain in the Other income line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations of $7.1 million and $9.7 million, respectively, primarily attributable to foreign currency remeasurement adjustments, a net gain in terminating derivative contracts and the reduction in the estimated fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration liability, partially offset by other non-operating costs.

Income tax expense (benefit). Our income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $10.0 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 63.7%, compared to an expense of $4.1 million, and an effective tax rate of 16.4%, for the same period of 2019. The Company’s income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $4.4 million resulting in an effective tax rate of (84.5)%, compared to an expense of $10.8 million, and an effective tax rate of 23.2%, for the same period of 2019.
The increase in tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period of 2019, was primarily attributable to the mix of earnings across our jurisdictions including increased losses incurred in countries where we realize no tax benefit. The decrease in the tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period of 2019, was attributable to lower pre-tax income incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and to a non-recurring benefit from the carry back of net operating losses to prior tax years at the higher 35% U.S. tax rate, compared to the current tax rate of 21%, as a result of recent changes in U.S. tax law. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law in the U.S., which provided for an elective five-year carryback of net operating losses (NOLs) generated in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021. As a result of this change in law and since the Company incurred net operating losses in 2018, the Company carried back these 2018 losses to prior periods to receive refunds of taxes paid at higher rates in earlier periods.
Factors Impacting Comparability Between Periods
COVID-19 pandemic. As discussed in our COVID-19 Update, Other Recent Trends and Events and our Results of Operations above, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Pandemic has had a significant impact on our operating results.
59

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 approximately $2.4 million and higher by approximately $5.1 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Please see the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for discussion of developing trends and recent events with relevance to the business.
Long-Term 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 through the growth of Allpoint, our retail based surcharge-free ATM network and our bank-branding programs. We have recently seen increased demand from financial institutions of all sizes as they evaluate their physical banking services and branch strategies. We have also expanded our ATM capabilities and service offerings to financial institutions, as we are seeing increasing interest from financial institutions for the outsourcing of ATM-related services due to our cost efficiency advantages and higher service levels.
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 believe our network can serve as the digital to physical gateway for financial institutions, digital-based businesses and consumers that need a way to enable cash-based transactions. We see opportunities to expand our operations through the following efforts:

expanding our relationships with leading financial institutions;
working with financial technology companies with a primary focus on the retail consumer finance business (or “Fintechs”) and card issuers to further leverage our extensive ATM network;
increasing transaction levels at our existing locations;
broadening transaction types at our physical access points enabled by mobile technology;
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 2019 Form 10-K.
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 Net Income, Adjusted Tax Rate, Adjusted Net Income per diluted share, Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, 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, financial condition 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 prepared in accordance with GAAP. 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 adds net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and accretion, amortization of deferred financing costs and note discounts, amortization of intangible assets, and certain costs not anticipated to occur in future periods to net income. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the items excluded from EBITDA as well as share-based compensation expense, certain other income and expense amounts, acquisition related expenses, gains or losses on disposal and impairment of assets, certain non-operating expenses (if applicable in a particular period), and includes an adjustment for noncontrolling interests. Depreciation and accretion expense and amortization of intangible assets are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA as these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, and the methods by which the assets were acquired.
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, deferred financing costs and note discounts, 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 19.8% and 19.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and 23.7% and 23.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The non-GAAP tax rates represent the U.S. 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 Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities and Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less the impact of changes in restricted cash due to the timing of payments of restricted cash liabilities.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities 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 financing activities and 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.

These amounts can fluctuate significantly period to period based on the number of days for which settlement to the merchant has not yet occurred or day of the week on which a quarter ends.

(2)Capital expenditure amounts include payments made for property and equipment, exclusive license agreements, site acquisition costs, and other assets. Additionally, capital expenditure amounts for one of our Mexican subsidiaries are reflected gross of any noncontrolling interest amounts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of September 30, 2020, we had $263.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $893.6 million of current and long-term debt (or $914.4 million, including $20.8 million of capitalized debt issuance costs and unamortized discounts). In addition, we currently have $600 million of capacity under our revolving credit facility, with currently no borrowings outstanding and approximately $8.7 million in outstanding letters of credit. Our Convertible Notes that remain outstanding are due December 2020. These Convertible Notes have a face value of $115.6 million and are presented, net of the unamortized discount and capitalized debt issuance costs of $0.9 million, in the Current portion of long-term debt line of the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020. We expect to use currently available cash and expected future cash flows to retire the Convertible Notes.
We have historically funded our business with 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 have historically utilized the excess available cash flow to reduce outstanding borrowings and to fund capital expenditures. Accordingly, it is not uncommon for us to reflect a working capital deficit position in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. However, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we took measures to improve available liquidity and plan for the retirement of our Convertible Notes, resulting in us holding a larger balance of cash during the period.
Taking into consideration the foregoing and the expected effects of known trends, we believe we have sufficient liquidity available from cash on hand, cash flow from operations and potential borrowings to fund our operations for the foreseeable future. For additional information see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 9. Current and Long-Term Debt

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $188.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $231.7 million during the same period of 2019. Excluding changes in restricted cash liabilities during the periods due to the timing of settlements, our cash flows from operating activities were down $31.5 million. This decrease in operating cash flow (excluding settlement changes) is primarily due to the impact of the Pandemic on our operations.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $61.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $99.4 million during the same period of 2019. The change in net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 relative to the prior year was primarily a result of reduced capital expenditures, driven by technology and operational enhancements.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $119.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to cash used in financing activities of $122.5 million during the same period of 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we borrowed $500 million under our new term loan facility, paid $171.2 million to repurchase Convertible Notes that were subsequently canceled and entirely repaid our outstanding revolving credit facility balance which was $167.2 million as of December 31, 2019. We paid $20.5 million of debt issuance, modification and extinguishment costs in conjunction with these activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. These financing activities improved available liquidity, extended the average maturity of our debt and a portion of the net proceeds are planned to be used for the repayment of our Convertible Notes due on December 1, 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, we used $16.9 million to repurchase 505,699 Class A ordinary shares. We may from time to time seek to repurchase our outstanding debt and / or equity securities in privately negotiated transactions and / or otherwise.
For information related to our financing facilities, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 9. Current and Long-Term Debt.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make numerous estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions, thus impacting our results of operations and financial position. For discussion of the critical accounting policies and estimates that are most important to the depiction of our financial condition and results of operations see Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Goodwill Impairment
Following the goodwill impairment recognized by the Company in 2019, the Canada reporting unit continues to be at risk of impairment. In 2019, the Canada reporting unit’s carrying value was impaired and reduced to its fair value. The fair value of the Canada reporting unit continues to approximate its carrying value. Furthermore, as indicated in Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 7. Intangible Assets, we identified the impacts of the Pandemic as an impairment indicator and performed a quantitative impairment test of the Canada reporting unit as of March 31, 2020 and a qualitative impairment test as of June 30, 2020. Based on these assessments, there was no impairment recognized. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Canada reporting unit performed consistent with the forecasts used as of March 31, 2020 and we did not identify any impairment indicators. The Canada reporting unit's goodwill was approximately $101 million as of September 30, 2020. To the extent that we are unable to meet our forecasts in the future or to the extent that the impacts of the Pandemic are protracted, further goodwill impairment charges are possible relative to the Company’s Canada reporting unit. Additionally, based on recent qualitative assessments, the fair value of the Company’s other reporting units exceed their carrying values; however, protracted impacts of the Pandemic could result in goodwill impairment charges to those reporting units.
New Accounting Pronouncements
For information related to accounting pronouncements adopted and not yet adopted during 2020 see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements.
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 2019 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 variable rate debt. The following quantitative and qualitative information is provided about financial instruments to which we were a party at September 30, 2020 and from which we may incur future gains or losses as a result of 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 remaining 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 September 30, 2020 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 September 30, 2020 and assuming a 100 basis point increase in interest rates (in millions):
North America  
Average outstanding vault cash balance $ 2,448 
Interest rate swap contracts fixed notional amount (1,594)
Residual unhedged outstanding vault cash balance $ 854 
Additional annual interest incurred on 100 basis point increase $ 8.54 
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.
The following table presents a hypothetical sensitivity analysis of our annual vault cash rental expense in Europe & Africa based on our average outstanding vault cash balance for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and assuming a 100 basis point increase in interest rates (in millions):

Interest Rate Derivatives and Outlook. As of September 30, 2020, we had a liability of $57.9 million recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which represented the fair value of our interest rate swap and cap contracts associated with our vault cash rental obligations. The fair value estimate for these instruments was calculated as the present value of amounts estimated to be paid to a marketplace participant. These derivative 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets. The gain or loss is reclassified into earnings in the Vault cash rental expense line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and has been forecasted into earnings.

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 and term loan facilities accrue interest at floating rates. As of September 30, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and $498.7 million of outstanding borrowings under our floating rate term loan facility.

To mitigate the interest rate risk associated with the borrowings on our floating rate term loan facility, on July 30, 2020, we executed $250.0 million aggregate notional amount interest rate cap contracts that began August 1, 2020 and terminate December 31, 2025. These interest rate cap contracts have a cap rate of 1% and have been designated as cash flow hedges of the floating rate interest associated with our term loan facility. See Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 9. Current and Long-Term Debt.

As of September 30, 2020, we had a liability of $0.8 million recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which represented the fair value of our interest rate cap contracts associated with our term loan facility. The fair value estimate for these instruments was calculated as the present value of amounts estimated to be paid to a marketplace participant. These derivative 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).

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 sometime after 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, 2019.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
As a result of our global operations, 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2020, this accumulated translation loss totaled $65.9 million compared to $59.1 million as of December 31, 2019.

Our consolidated financial results were impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior year. Our total revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 would have been lower by approximately $2.4 million and higher by approximately $5.1 million, respectively, had the foreign currency exchange rates from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 remained unchanged from the prior year. A sensitivity analysis indicates that, if the U.S. dollar uniformly strengthened or weakened 10% against the U.K. pound sterling, Euro, Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, or South African Rand, the effect upon our operating income would have been approximately $1.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
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 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 September 30, 2020 at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In the ordinary course of business, the Company reviews its internal control over financial reporting and makes changes to its control procedures, processes and systems that are intended to enhance such controls and increase efficiency while maintaining an effective internal control environment.
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 September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The disclosure responsive to this Item related to our material pending legal and regulatory proceedings and settlements, is incorporated by reference herein from Part I. Financial Information, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies – Legal Matters.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the risks discussed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“2019 Form 10-K”) and other information included and incorporated by reference in this report. These risks could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. There have been no material changes in our assessment of our risk factors from those set forth in our 2019 Form 10-K, except with respect to the risk factors described below.
We are subject to business cycles, seasonality, and other outside factors such as extreme weather, natural disasters or health emergencies, including the ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus (“COVID-19” or the "Pandemic") pandemic that has adversely impacted our business, and that may in the future have a material adverse impact on our business.
Many of our ATMs are located in convenience stores, gas stations, malls, casinos, grocery stores, drug stores, airports, train stations, and other large retailers and are utilized by consumers that frequent them. Transaction volumes at our ATMs located in regions affected by strong winter weather patterns typically experience declines in volume during those months as a result of decreases in the amount of consumer traffic through such locations. With the majority of our ATMs located in the northern hemisphere, we expect to see slightly higher transactions in the warmer summer months from May through August, which are also aided by increased vacation and holiday travel. As a result of these seasonal variations, our quarterly operating results may fluctuate and could lead to volatility in the price of our shares. In addition, if a recessionary economic environment were to reduce traffic at our ATM locations, this could impact the level of transactions taking place on our networks and at our ATMs.
Natural or man-made disasters (including, hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes, fires, or acts of war or terror), uncharacteristic or significant weather conditions or real or potential health emergencies such as the widespread outbreak of contagious diseases, such as the COVID-19 that is addressed in more detail below, could hinder travel, result in travel bans, government restrictions or quarantines. Any of these events could restrict or reduce traffic at our ATM locations, reduce the use or demand for cash or decrease demand for our services. In addition, catastrophic events or significant business interruptions could reduce or impair our ability, and that of our employees, to provide services and conduct operations. These events may occur in a manner that cannot be mitigated by our disaster and business continuity planning and cause losses that are not recoverable under our insurance policies. The impact of such events may have a range of lingering impacts on us, our employees, customers, our suppliers and the overall economy, adversely affecting our operations, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and share price even after the initial incident is resolved.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. In response, the national and local governments in the countries in which we operate have implemented various restrictions, including travel restrictions, border closings, restrictions on public gatherings, shelter-in-place restrictions, quarantines and limitations on business operations.
These events and the prevalence of the disease have adversely impacted the macroeconomic environment, consumer confidence, unemployment and other economic indicators that contribute to consumer spending behavior and demand for both cash in general and our services specifically, as well as the Company and its employees, customers and suppliers. These events have also reduced foot traffic at our ATM locations and the usage of our ATMs and cash across certain regions in which we operate, as well as, slowed the recycling pace of coinage which may impact cash usage in certain geographies. These factors have resulted in and may continue to result in fluctuations in our operating results, volatility in the price of our shares, reduction in transaction volumes and revenues associated with those volumes beginning in March 2020 and continuing throughout the third quarter of 2020. We expect that these impacts will continue through the fourth quarter of 2020, and may continue to impact our results beyond 2020. We have implemented cost reductions and have taken action to manage expenses, reduce capital spending plans and have suspended our opportunistic share repurchase program to optimize cash flow during the current environment. We have also implemented business continuity plans, with most of our employees working from home since March 16, 2020 without issue. Certain of our employees continue to perform cash delivery, maintenance and other technical services on site and at certain of our office and warehouse locations to ensure the continued operations of our ATMs. We may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or as we determine are in the best interests of our employees, partners and customers. For more information, see Part I. Financial Information, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results Operations.

The situation surrounding the Pandemic remains fluid and the potential for a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity increases the longer the virus impacts activity levels globally. For this reason, the Company cannot reasonably estimate with any degree of certainty the future impact that the Pandemic may have on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and liquidity. The extent to which the Pandemic may impact the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, or liquidity will depend on future developments, including the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business and workforce disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain and treat the disease. To the extent the Pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in Item 1A. Risk Factors and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

We maintain a significant amount of vault cash within our Company-owned ATMs, which is subject to potential loss due to theft, civil unrest or other events, including natural disasters.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, our average outstanding vault cash balance was $3.4 billion in our ATMs. Any loss of vault cash from our ATMs is generally our responsibility. We typically require that our service providers, who either transport the vault cash or otherwise have access to the ATM safe, maintain adequate insurance coverage in the event cash losses occur as a result of theft, misconduct, or negligence on the part of such providers. Cash losses at the ATM occur in a variety of ways, such as natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes, etc.), fires, vandalism, and physical removal of the entire ATM, defeating the interior safe or by compromising the ATM’s technology components. The frequency of incidents of vandalism and physical removal often increase during civil unrest and riots. Recent protests, riots and civil unrest, specifically within large urban areas in the U.S., have coincided with increased incidents of vandalism and theft of ATMs and vault cash within our U.S. market. As our ATMs are often installed at retail sites, there are attempts of theft and vandalism from time to time. Thefts of vault cash may be the result of an individual acting alone or as a part of a crime group or occur during civil unrest and rioting. We have experienced theft of vault cash from our ATMs across the geographic regions in which we operate and have at times temporarily removed ATMs from service to enhance security features or permanently removed ATMs due to security concerns. While we maintain insurance policies to cover significant losses that may occur that are not covered by the insurance policies maintained by our service providers, such insurance coverage is subject to deductibles, exclusions, and limitations that may leave us bearing some or all of those losses. Significant vault cash losses could result in a material adverse impact on our operations and cash flows.
Any increase in the frequency and/or amounts of theft and other losses could negatively impact our operating results by causing higher deductible payments and increased insurance premiums. Certain ATM types have recently been susceptible to coordinated ATM attacks that generally involves a logical or physical compromise of the ATM, which causes the ATM to dispense cash without proper authorization and can be controlled remotely in certain types of these attacks. While we maintain a controls program across many fronts to prevent and quickly detect unauthorized ATM access and theft attempts, there can be no assurance that a significant or successful jackpotting attack attempt could occur on our portfolio. Additionally, in recent periods, we have seen elevated attack attempts and vault cash losses in our U.K. business. Should these losses continue at an elevated or increasing rate, it could adversely impact our results and impact our ability to obtain insurance for the vault cash used on our ATMs. Also, damage sustained to our merchant customers’ store locations in connection with any ATM-related thefts, if extensive and frequent enough in nature, could negatively impact our relationships with those merchants and impair our ability to deploy ATMs in those existing or new locations of those merchants. Certain merchants have requested, and could request in the future, that we remove ATMs from store locations that have suffered damage as a result of ATM-related thefts, thus negatively impacting our financial results. Finally, we have in the past, and may in the future, voluntarily remove vault cash from certain ATMs on a temporary or permanent basis to mitigate further losses arising from theft or vandalism. Depending on the magnitude and duration of any cash removal, our revenues and profits could be materially and adversely affected.
