We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Basis for Opinions The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 57 Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Sufficiency of audit evidence over revenue As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company earned $4.0 billion of revenue in 2024. The Company earned revenue by payment and transaction processing and distribution solutions to financial institutions, retailers, service providers and individual consumers (collectively services). The services were provided to customers in approximately 200 countries through 67 worldwide offices within 3 different reportable operating segments. We identified the evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence over revenue as a critical audit matter. The Company’s geographical dispersion of services worldwide, amongst various business lines required especially subjective auditor judgment in evaluating the sufficiency of audit evidence over revenue. Further, our audit team consisted of auditors located in various countries worldwide. This required especially challenging auditor judgment in the level of audit procedures and supervision applied at each country. The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We applied auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over revenue, including the determination of locations at which those procedures were to be performed. At each Company location selected, we: evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s revenue process, including controls over the accurate recording of revenue amounts assessed the training and experience of the auditors on our audit team that were in countries other than the United States tested a sample of individual revenue transactions by comparing amounts recognized by the Company to relevant contracts and or payment and transaction support. We evaluated the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained over revenue by assessing the results of procedures performed, including the appropriateness of such evidence. /s/ KPMG LLP We have served as the Company's auditor since 2003.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( 1) Organization Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (the "Company" or "Euronet") was established as a Delaware corporation on December 13, 1996 and succeeded Euronet Holding N.V. as the group holding company, which was founded and established in 1994 . Euronet is a leading financial technology solutions and payments provider. Euronet offers payment and transaction processing and distribution solutions to financial institutions, retailers, service providers and individual consumers. Euronet's primary product offerings include comprehensive ATM, POS, card outsourcing, card issuing and merchant acquiring services, electronic distribution of prepaid mobile airtime and other electronic payment products, and international payment services. (2) Basis of Preparation The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Euronet and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries and all significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Euronet's investments in companies that it does not control, but has the ability to significantly influence, are accounted for under the equity method. Euronet has no variable interest entities. Results from operations related to entities acquired during the periods covered by the Consolidated Financial Statements are reflected from the effective date of acquisition. The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires that management make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include computing income taxes, contingent purchase price consideration, estimating the useful lives and potential impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, as well as allocating the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions and revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Seasonality Euronet’s EFT Processing Segment normally experiences its heaviest demand for Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) services during the third quarter of the year, normally coinciding with the tourism season. Additionally, the EFT Processing and epay Segments are normally impacted by seasonality during the fourth quarter and first quarter of each year due to higher transaction levels during the holiday season and lower levels following the holiday season. Seasonality in the Money Transfer Segment varies by region of the world. In most markets, Euronet usually experiences increased demand for money transfer services from the month of May through the fourth quarter of each year, coinciding with the increase in worker migration patterns and various holidays, and its lowest transaction levels during the first quarter of the year. (3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices Foreign currencies Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of a subsidiary are remeasured at rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. Resulting gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The majority of our foreign currency exchange gains or losses are due to the remeasurement of intercompany loans which are not considered a long-term investment in nature and are in a currency other than the functional currency of one of the parties to the loan. The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated to U.S. dollars using (i) exchange rates in effect at period end for assets and liabilities, and (ii) weighted average exchange rates during the period for revenues and expenses. Adjustments resulting from translation of such financial statements are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income as a separate component of consolidated equity. 65 Cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments, with an original maturity of three months or less, and certificates of deposit, which may be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the Company without penalty, to be cash equivalents. ATM cash ATM cash represents cash within the ATM network either included within ATMs, within dedicated accounts, or in-transit to ATMs. Settlement assets and obligations Settlement assets represent funds received or to be received from agents for unsettled money transfers and from merchants for unsettled prepaid transactions. See Note 4 , Settlement Assets and Obligations, to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on settlement assets and obligations. Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment acquired in acquisitions have been recorded at estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Depreciation is generally calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Depreciation and amortization rates are generally as follows: ATMs or ATM upgrades 5 - 8 years Computers and software 3 - 5 years POS terminals 3 - 5 years Vehicles and office equipment 3 - 10 years Leasehold improvements Over the lesser of the lease term or estimated useful life Goodwill and ot her intangible assets Goodwill - The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 350 , Intangibles - Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350 "). In accordance with the requirements of ASC 350 the Company tests for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter and whenever events or circumstances dictate. Goodwill is allocated among and evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. ASC 350 provides an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (more than 50 %) that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity elects to perform a qualitative assessment and determines that an impairment is more likely than not, the entity is then required to perform the existing quantitative impairment test (described below), otherwise no further analysis is required. An entity also may elect not to perform the qualitative assessment and, instead, proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. Under the qualitative assessment, various events, and circumstances (or factors) that would affect the estimated fair value of a reporting unit are identified (similar to impairment indicators). These factors are then classified by the type of impact they would have on the estimated fair value using positive, neutral, and adverse categories based on current business conditions. Furthermore, the Company considers the results of the most recent quantitative impairment test completed for a reporting unit and compares, among other factors, the weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") between the current and prior years for each reporting unit. 66 Under the quantitative impairment test, the evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company uses weighted results from the income approach or the discounted cash flow model ("DCF model") and guideline public company method ("Market Approach model") to estimate the current fair value of its reporting units when testing for impairment, as management believes forecasted cash flows and EBITDA are the best indicators of such fair value. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF model to forecast operating cash flows, including sales volumes, gross margins, tax rates, capital spending, discount rates and working capital changes. Most of these assumptions vary significantly among the reporting units. Significant assumptions in the Market Approach model are projected EBITDA, selected market multiple, and the estimated control premium. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss equal to such excess would be recognized. The DCF Model and Market Approach Model utilize Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy as they include unobservable inputs that require significant management assumptions. Other Intangible Assets - In accordance with ASC 350 , intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Unless otherwise noted, amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Non-compete agreements 2 - 5 years Trademarks and trade names 2 - 20 years Software 3 - 10 years Customer relationships 6 - 20 years The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If such events or changes in circumstances are present, a loss is recognized if the carrying value of the asset is in excess of the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. See Note 9 , Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets, Net, to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. Other assets Other assets include capitalized software development costs and capitalized payments for new or renewed contracts. Euronet capitalizes initial payments for new or renewed contracts to the extent recoverable through future operations, contractual minimums and/or penalties in the case of early termination. The Company's accounting policy is to limit the amount of capitalized costs for a given contract to the lesser of the estimated ongoing net future cash flows related to the contract or the termination fees the Company would receive in the event of early termination of the contract by the customer. ASC Topic 340 , Other Assets and Deferred Costs ("ASC 340 ") requires the deferral of incremental costs to fulfill customer contracts, known as contract assets, which are then amortized to expense as part of direct operating costs over the respective periods of expected benefit. D eferred contract costs are reported on our balance sheet within current or non-current other assets based on the expected life of the related contract. At December 31, 2024 and 2023 , we had $ 97.4 million and $ 78.4 million, respectively, of deferred contract costs. For the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 and 2022 , w e had $ 23.4 million, $ 17.1 million, and $ 22.1 million of amortization related to these costs, respectively. On a quarterly basis we evaluate the carrying amount of contract assets recognized to determine if there are contracts that may have a carrying amount in excess of the remaining future consideration to be received from the contract. 67 Convertible notes In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020 - 06 , "Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity" which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating certain accounting models when the conversion features are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815 , Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in-capital. Under this ASU, certain debt instruments with embedded conversion features will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. Additionally, this ASU eliminates the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach, which resulted in our Convertible Senior Notes due 2049 being recognized as a single liability. As a result of the adoption of this standard we recorded a $ 99.7 million decrease to additional paid-in capital, a $ 56.8 million decrease in debt discounts and a $ 42.9 million increase in retained earnings. The adoption of this standard also impacted our deferred tax liability by decreasing our deferred tax liability by $ 15.0 million, decreasing retained earnings by $ 10.6 million, and increasing additional paid-in capital by $ 25.6 million. Additionally, the elimination of the treasury stock method increases the number of dilutive shares used in the diluted earnings per share calculation, if dilutive, by 2.8 million shares. Income taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In accordance with ASC Topic 740 , Income Taxes ("ASC 740 "), the Company's policy is to record estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 15 , Income Taxes, to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding these provisions. Presentation of taxes collected and remitted to governmental authorities The Company presents taxes collected and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Fair value measurements The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 820 , Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820 "), regarding fair value measurements for assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions apply whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. See Note 19 , Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements, to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the required fair value disclosures. Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities The Company accounts for derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with ASC Topic 815 , Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815 "), which requires that all derivative instruments be recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Primarily in the Money Transfer Segment, the Company enters into foreign currency derivative contracts, mainly forward contracts, to offset foreign currency exposure related to money transfer settlement assets and liabilities in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, derivative contracts written to its customers arising from its cross-currency money transfer services and certain assets and liability positions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These contracts are considered derivative instruments under the provisions of ASC 815 ; however, the Company does not designate such instruments as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the value of these contracts are recognized immediately as a component of foreign currency exchange gain (loss), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash flows resulting from derivative instruments are included in operating activities in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company enters into derivative instruments with highly credit-worthy financial institutions and does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. See Note 13 , Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of derivative instruments . 68 Share-based compensation The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718 , Compensation - Stock Compensation ("ASC 718 "), for equity classified awards, which requires the determination of the fair value of the share-based compensation at the grant date and subsequent recognition of the related expense over the period in which the share-based compensation is earned ("requisite service period"). The amount of future compensation expense related to awards of nonvested shares or nonvested share units ("restricted stock") is based on the market price for Euronet Common Stock at the grant date. The grant dat e is the date at which all key terms and conditions of the grant have been determined and the Company becomes contingently obligated to transfer equity to the employee who renders the requisite service, generally the date at which grants are approved by the Company's Board of Directors or Compensation Committee thereof. Share-based compensation expense for awards with only service conditions is generally recognized as expense on a "straight-line" basis over the requisite service period. For awards that vest based on achieving periodic performance conditions, expense is recognized on a "graded attribution method." The graded attribution method results in expense recognition on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of an award adjusted for any changes in probability of achievement of performance condition . The Company has elected to use the "with and without method" when calculating the income tax benefit associated with its share-based payment arrangements. See Note 17 , Stock Plans, for further disclosure. Revenue recogni tion The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues. A description of the major components of revenue by business segment is as follows: EFT Processing - Revenues in the EFT Processing Segment are primarily derived from transaction and management fees and foreign currency exchange margin from owned and outsourced ATM, POS and card processing networks and from the sale of EFT software solutions for electronic payment and transaction delivery systems, and fees or margin earned from value added services, including dynamic currency conversion and domestic and international surcharge. Transaction-based fees include charges for cash withdrawals, debit or credit card transactions, balance inquiries, transactions not completed because the relevant card issuer does not give authorization and prepaid mobile airtime recharges. Outsourcing services are generally billed on the basis of a fixed monthly fee per ATM, plus a transaction-based fee. Transaction-based fees are recognized at the time the transactions are processed and outsourcing management fees are recognized ratably over the contract period. C ertain of the Company's non-cancelable customer contracts provide for the receipt of up-front fees from the customer and/or decreasing or increasing fee schedules over the agreement term for substantially the same level of services to be provided by the Company. The Company recognizes revenue under these contracts based on proportional performance of services over the term of the contract. This generally results in "straight-line" (i.e., consistent value per period) revenue recognition of the contracts' total cash flows, including any up-front payment received from the customer, which is recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt. epay - Revenue generated in the epay Segment is primarily derived from commis sions or processing fees associated with distribution and/or processing of prepaid mobile airtime and digital media products. These fees and commissions are received from mobile operators, content vendors or distributors or from retailers. Commissions are recognized as revenue during the period in which the Company provides the service. The portion of the commission that is paid to retailers is generally recorded as a direct operating cost. In selling certain products, the Company is the p rinciple obligor in th e arrangements; accordingly, the gross sales value of the products is recorded as revenue and the purchase cost as direct operating cost. Transactions are processed through a network of POS terminals and direct connections to the electronic payment systems of retailers. Transaction processing fees are recognized at the time the transactions are processed. Money Transfer - R evenues for money transfer and other services represent a transaction fee in addition to a margin earned from purchasing currency at wholesale exchange rates and selling the currency to customers at retail exchange rates. Revenues and the associated direct operating cost are recognized at the time the transaction is processed. The Company has origination and distribution agents in place, which ea ch earn a fee for the respective service. These fees are reflected as direct operating costs. 69 Revenues Deferred Revenues - The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of its performance. The decrease in the deferred revenue balance for the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by $ 39.3 million of cash payments received in the current year for which the Company has not yet satisfied the performance obligations, offset by $ 39.6 million of revenues recognized that were included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2023 . Disaggregation of Revenues - The following table presents the Company's revenues disaggregated by segment and region. The Company believes disaggregation by segment and region best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The disaggregation of revenues by segment and region is based on management's assessment of segment performance together with allocation of financial resources, both capital and operating support costs, on a segment and regional level. Both segments and regions benefit from synergies achieved through concentration of operations and are influenced by macro-economic, regulatory and political factors in the respective segment and region. The Company recognizes foreign exchange revenues from derivative instruments in its xe operations in accordance with ASC Topic 815 and not ASC Topic 606 . These revenues are not significant to the Company's consolidated revenues and are included in the following tables.

The amended guidance requires incremental reportable segment disclosures, primarily about significant segment expenses. The amendments also require entities with a single reportable segment to provide all disclosures required by these amendments, and all existing segment disclosures. The amendments will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amended guidance enhances income tax disclosures primarily related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance requires disclosure of specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and further information on reconciling items meeting a quantitative threshold. In addition, the amended guidance requires disaggregating income taxes paid (net of refunds received) by federal, state, and foreign taxes. It also requires disaggregating individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and the Company will adopt the standard in the following fiscal year. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE) , which requires companies to disclose additional information about expenses in their income statements. The Company already disaggregates its most significant expense line items, and as a result, the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. (4) Settlement Assets and Obligations Settlement assets represent funds received or to be received from agents for unsettled money transfers and from merchants for unsettled prepaid transactions. The Company records corresponding settlement obligations relating to accounts payable. Settlement assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other current assets. The settlement cash held at the Company is primarily generated from the monies remitted by consumers through Company agents and financial institutions in payment of the face value of the payment service or foreign currency purchased and the related fees charged to purchase the currency. The Company uses its cash and cash equivalents to pay the face value of the payment service product upon presentation by the recipient. Cash received by Company agents and merchants generally becomes available to the Company within two weeks after initial receipt by the business partner. Receivables from business partners represent funds collected by such business partners that are in transit to the Company. Settlement obligations consist of accrued expenses for money transfers, content providers, and EFT customer deposits and accounts payable to agents and content providers. Money transfer accrued expenses represent amounts to be paid to beneficiaries when they request funds. Most agents typically settle with beneficiaries first then obtain reimbursement from the Company. Money order accrued expenses represent amounts not yet presented for payment. Due to the agent funding and settlement process, accrued expenses to agents represent amounts due to agents for money transfers that have not been settled with beneficiaries. (in millions) As of December 31, 2024 As of December 31, 2023 Settlement assets: Settlement cash and cash equivalents $ 367.2 $ 327.4 Settlement restricted cash 189.2 125.0 Account receivables, net of credit loss allowance of $ 31.7 and $ 35.7 769.5 1,002.1 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 196.8 227.0 Total settlement assets $ 1,522.7 $ 1,681.5 Settlement obligations: Trade account payables $ 628.2 $ 708.6 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 894.5 972.9 Total settlement obligations $ 1,522.7 $ 1,681.5 71 The table below reconciles cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, ATM cash, settlement cash and cash equivalents, and settlement restricted cash as presented within "Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash" in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. As of (in millions) December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,278.8 $ 1,254.2 $ 1,131.2 Restricted cash 9.2 15.2 7.4 ATM cash 643.8 525.2 515.6 Settlement cash and cash equivalents 367.2 327.4 242.6 Settlement restricted cash 189.2 125.0 94.0 Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period $ 2,488.2 $ 2,247.0 $ 1,990.8 (5) Stockholders' Equity Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share has been computed by dividing diluted earnings by the weighted average shares outstanding during the respective period, after adjusting for the potential dilution of options to purchase the Company's Common Stock, assumed vesting of restricted stock and the assumed conversion of the Company's convertible debt. The following table provides the computation of diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding: Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Computation of diluted earnings: Net income attributable to Euronet Worldwide, Inc. stockholders $ 306.0 $ 279.7 $ 231.0 Add: Interest expense from assumed conversion of convertible notes, net of tax 4.2 4.2 4.7 Net income for diluted earnings per share calculation $ 310.2 $ 283.9 $ 235.7 Computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding: Basic weighted average shares outstanding 44,896,711 48,482,006 50,175,614 Incremental shares from assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock 404,237 335,809 505,876 Incremental shares from assumed conversion of convertible debt 2,781,818.0 2,781,818 2,781,818 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 48,082,766 51,599,633 53,463,308 The table includes all stock options and restricted stock that are dilutive to the Company's weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes stock options or shares of restricted stock that are anti-dilutive to the Company's weighted average common shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 and 2022 of approximate ly 3,125,000 , 3,768,000 and 1,975,000 , respectively. We issued Convertible Senior Notes ("Convertible Notes") due March 2049 on March 18, 2019. Our Convertible Notes currently have a settlement feature requiring us upon conversion to settle the principal amount of the debt and any conversion value in excess of the principal value ("conversion premium"), for cash or shares of our common stock or a combination thereof, at our option. We have stated our intent to settle any conversion of these notes by paying cash for the principal value and issuing common stock for any conversion premium; however, after adopting ASU 2020 - 06 , 2.8 million incremental shares assumed for conversion of convertible notes shall be included in the dilutive earnings per share calculation, if dilutive, regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. Therefore, our Convertible Notes were included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share if their inclusion was dilutive. The dilutive effect increases the more the market price exceeds the conversion price of $ 188.73 per share. See Note 12, Debt Obligations, to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the Convertible Notes. 72 Share repurchases The repurchase program, initiated on September 13, 2022, to repurchase up to $ 350 million in value, but not more than 7.0 million shares of common stock through September 13, 2024, has been completed. During 2024, we repurchased 850,528 shares under the repurchase program at a weighted average purchase price of $ 113.63 for a total value of $ 96.6 million. On September 13, 2023, the Company initiated a repurchase program to repurchase up to $ 350 million in value, but not more than 7.0 million shares of common stock through September 13, 2025. During 2024 , we repurchased 1,625,005 shares under the repurchase program at a weighted average purchase price of $ 103.73 for a total value of $ 168.6 million. On September 11, 2024, the Company initiated a repurchase program to repurchase up to $ 350 million in value, but not more than 7.0 million shares of common stock through September 11, 2026. During 2024, the Company did not repurchase shares under this plan. Repurchases under the programs may take place in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including derivative transactions, and may be made under a Rule 10 b 5 - 1 plan. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was signed into law in August 2022. Among other things, it imposes a 1 % excise tax on net share repurchases. Preferred Stock The Company has the authority t o issue up to 10 million shares of preferred stock, of which no shares are currently issued or outstanding. Accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 , accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) consists entirely of foreign currency translation adjustments. The Company recorded a foreign currency translation loss of $ 117.8 million, a gain of $ 47.9 million and a loss of $ 78.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 , and 2022 , respectively. There were no reclassifications of foreign currency translation into the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 , and 2022 . Dividends No dividends were paid on any class of the Company's stock during 2024 , 2023 , and 2022 . (6) Acquisitions Acquisitions 2024 On February 1, 2024, Euronet acquired Infinitium Group, a leading regional solutions provider with Payments Authentication services, for a purchase consideration of $ 70.0 million cash and $ 5.0 million of the Company’s common stock to be paid over two installments on February 1, 2026 and 2027 . The Company allocated $ 51.0 million of the purchase consideration to customer relationships, $ 5.6 million to acquired net assets, $ 10.2 million to deferred tax liability and the remaining $ 28.6 million to goodwill. In the second quarter of 2024 , Euronet acquired a business for an immaterial amount. Acquisitions 2023 The Company completed one acquisition in 2023 for an immaterial amount. 73 (7) Restricted Cash The restricted cash balances as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows: As of December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 Collateral on bank credit arrangements and other $ 9.2 $ 15.2 Restricted cash $ 9.2 $ 15.2 Cash held in trust and/or cash held on behalf of others $ 99.8 $ 84.8 Collateral on bank credit arrangements and other 89.4 40.2 Restricted cash included within settlement assets $ 189.2 $ 125.0 Total Restricted Cash $ 198.4 $ 140.2 Cash held in trust and/or cash held on behalf of others is in connection with the administration of the customer collection and vendor remittance activities by certain subsidiaries within the Company's epay and EFT Processing Segments. Amounts collected on behalf of certain mobile phone operators and/or merchants are deposited into a restricted cash account. The bank credit arrangements primarily represent cash collateral on deposit with commercial banks to cover guarantees. (8) Property and Equipment, Net The components of property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows: As of December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 ATMs $ 546.2 $ 635.8 POS terminals 57.4 43.7 Vehicles and office equipment 70.1 73.8 Computers and software 245.0 235.1 Land and buildings 0.6 0.6 919.3 989.0 Less accumulated depreciation ( 589.6 ) ( 656.9 ) Total $ 329.7 $ 332.1 Depreciation expenses related to property and equipment, including property and equipment recorded under finance leases, for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 and 2022 was $ 102.6 million, $ 100.8 million, and $ 101.5 million, respectively. 74 (9) Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets, Net The following table summarizes intangible assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 : As of December 31, 2024 As of December 31, 2023 (in millions) Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Customer relationships $ 308.7 $ ( 132.7 ) $ 270.5 $ ( 121.4 ) Software 53.8 ( 53.8 ) 56.4 ( 54.6 ) Trademarks and trade names 43.3 ( 37.3 ) 44.6 ( 36.3 ) Non-compete agreements 9.6 ( 2.7 ) 10.2 ( 1.8 ) Total $ 415.4 $ ( 226.5 ) $ 381.7 $ ( 214.1 ) The following table summarizes the goodwill and amortizable intangible assets activity for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 : (in millions) Acquired Intangible Assets Goodwill Total Intangible Assets Balance as of January 1, 2023 $ 188.3 $ 828.3 $ 1,016.6 Increases (decreases): Acquisitions (see footnote 6 ) — 1.3 1.3 Amortization ( 24.5 ) — ( 24.5 ) Other (primarily changes in foreign currency exchange rates) 3.8 17.9 21.7 Balance as of December 31, 2023 167.6 847.5 1,015.1 Increases (decreases): Acquisitions (see footnote 6 ) 51.0 50.2 101.2 Amortization ( 21.7 ) — ( 21.7 ) Other (primarily changes in foreign currency exchange rates) ( 8.0 ) ( 38.5 ) ( 46.5 ) Balance as of December 31, 2024 $ 188.9 $ 859.2 $ 1,048.1 Of the total goodwill balance of $ 859.2 million as of December 31, 2024 , $ 359.7 million relates to the Money Transfer Segment, $ 117.8 million relates to the epay Segment and the remaining $ 381.7 million relates to the EFT Processing Segment. Amortization expense for intangible assets with finite lives was $ 21.7 million , $ 24.5 million, and $ 27.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 and 2022 , respectively. Estimated annual amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives as of December 31, 2024 , is expected to be $ 16.9 million for 2025 , $ 17.2 million for 2026 , $ 16.0 million for 2027 , $ 15.6 million for 2028 , and $ 15.5 million for 2029 . 75 ( 10 ) Convertible Notes Receivable The Company loaned a total of $ 60.0 million to Koin Mobile, LLC and Marker Trax, LLC under two promissory notes (the "Notes"), which were fully executed on October 19, 2023. Under the terms of the Notes, interest will accrue on the Notes at 2 % per annum and all unpaid principal and interest will be due and payable on October 18, 2028 if not converted earlier as discussed below. The Company has a security interest in all of the assets of Koin Mobile, LLC and Marker Trax, LLC. At December 31, 2024 the outstanding principal and accrued interest were $ 60.0 million and $ 1.4 million. The Notes are convertible into preferred equity of Koin Mobile, LLC and Marker Trax, LLC at the option of the Company upon the occurrence of certain events including a qualified equity financing, change in control, achievement of profitability or at the option of the Company at maturity, as defined in the Notes. (11) Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities The balances as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows: As of December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 Accrued expenses $ 322.4 $ 254.8 Other tax payables 22.8 69.1 Derivative liabilities 53.7 39.1 Accrued payroll expenses 75.5 74.4 Current portion of finance lease obligations 1.3 1.6 Total $ 475.7 $ 439.0 76 (12) Debt Obligations Debt obligations consist of the following as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 : As of December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 Credit Facility: Revolving credit agreement $ 520.4 $ 536.9 Convertible Debt: 0.75 % convertible notes, unsecured, due 2049 525.0 525.0 1.375 % Senior Notes, due 2026 621.5 662.2 Uncommitted credit a greeme nt 250.0 150.0 Other obligations 37.7 0.3 Total debt obligations $ 1,954.6 $ 1,874.4 Unamortized debt issuance costs ( 7.5 ) ( 8.7 ) Carrying value of debt $ 1,947.1 $ 1,865.7 Short-term debt obligations and current maturities of long-term debt obligations ( 812.7 ) ( 150.3 ) Long-term debt obligations $ 1,134.4 $ 1,715.4 As of December 31, 2024 , aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt are $ 621.5 million due in 2026 , and $ 512.9 million thereafter. This maturity schedule reflects the 1.375 % Senior Notes of € 600.0 million ($ 621.5 million) maturing in 2026 and the revolving credit facility maturing in 2029 . Credit Facility On December 17, 2024, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) to increase the facility from $ 1.25 billion to $ 1.9 billion and to extend the expiration to December 17, 2029 . The amended Credit Facility includes a multi-currency borrowing tranche totaling $ 1,685 million and a USD borrowing tranc he totaling $ 215 million . The amended Credit Facility also removes the credit spread adjustment on SOFR and SONIA borrowings. All other terms remain substantially the same as the existing Credit Facility. The multi-currency tranche of the revolving Credit Facility contains a sublimit of up to $ 500 million for the issuance of letters of credit, a $ 75 million sublimit for U.S. dollar swingline loans and a $ 75 million sublimit for swingline loans in euros or British pounds sterling. The multi-currency tranche of the Credit Facility allows for borrowings in British pounds sterling, euro and U.S. dollars. Subject to certain conditions, the Company has the option to increase the Credit Facility by up to an additional $ 500 million by requesting additional commitments from existing or new lenders. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (other than swing line loans) bear interest on a margin over a secured financing rate or the base rate, as selected by the Company, which varies from 0.875 % to 1.375 %, in each case based on the Company’s current credit rating. The applicable margin for borrowings under the credit facility, based on the Company’s current credit rating is 1.075 %. In addition, the Company pays a facility fee on the total commitments made under the Revolving Credit Facility, which varies from 0.125 % to 0.250 %. The current facility fee is 0.175 %. The agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants, including (all as defined in the Credit Facility): (i) a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, depending on certain circumstances defined in the Credit Facility, not to exceed a range between 3.5 to 1.0 and 4.5 to 1.0; and (ii) a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 3.0 to 1.0. Subject to meeting certain customary covenants (as defined in the Credit Facility), the Company is permitted to repurchase common stock and debt. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2024. The weighted-average interest rate of the Company's borrowings under the Credit Facility from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 was 6.39 % .

The weighted-average interest rate from the January 1, 2024 to June 21, 2024 was 6.34 %. Convertible Debt On March 18, 2019, the Company completed the sale of $ 525.0 million of Convertible Senior Notes ("Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes mature in March 2049 unless redeemed or converted prior to such date and are convertible into shares of Euronet Common Stock at a conversion price of approximately $ 188.73 per share if certain conditions are met (relating to the closing price of Euronet Common Stock exceeding certain thresholds for specified periods). Holders of the Convertible Notes have the option to require the Company to purchase their notes on each of March 15, 2025, March 15, 2029, March 15, 2034, March 15, 2039, and March 15, 2044 at a repurchase price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant repurchase date. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company recorded $ 12.8 million in debt issuance costs, which are being amortized through March 1, 2025. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at its option, (i) if the closing sale price of the Company's Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption and (ii) on or after March 20, 2025 and prior to the maturity date, regardless of the foregoing sale price condition, in each case at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes. In addition, if a fundamental change, as defined in the Indenture, occurs prior to the maturity date, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. As of December 31, 2024 the conversion threshold was not met. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020 - 06 , "Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity" which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating certain accounting models when the conversion features are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815 , Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in-capital. ASU 2020 - 06 amended the accounting for convertible instruments with ASC Topic 470 Debt (See Footnote 3 for the accounting impact of adopting ASU 220 - 06 ). As noted above, the holders of the Convertible Notes have the option to require the Company to repurchase their Convertible Notes on March 15, 2025. Given current bond trading levels and the Company’s share price, the Company anticipates that holders of the Convertible Notes will exercise their repurchase option and as a result the Convertible Notes are classified as short-term obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024 . 78 Contractual interest expenses for the Convertible Notes was $ 3.9 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 and 2022 . The effective interest rate was 4.35 % for the year ended December 31, 2024. 1.375 % Senior Notes due 2026 On May 22, 2019, the Company completed the sale of € 600.0 million ($ 669.9 million) aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes that mature on May 2026 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 1.375 % per year, payable annually in arrears commencing May 22, 2020 , until maturity or earlier redemption. As of December 31, 2024 , the Company has outstanding € 600.0 millio n ($ 621.5 million) principal amount of the Senior Notes. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of these notes on or after February 22, 2026 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. As of December 31, 2024 , the Company had $ 1.7 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Senior Notes. Other obligations Certain of the Company's subsidiaries have available lines of credit and overdraft credit facilities that generally provide for short-term borrowings that are used from time to time for working capital purposes. On October 9, 2024, the Company completed a facility of MYR 140 million and an overdraft facility of MYR 100 million for its Malaysian business. Each advance under this facility shall be made for a term of 1 month or such other period of up to 12 months. As of December 31, 2024 , $ 37.4 million was borrowed under this facility. (13) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk resulting from (i) the collection of funds or the settlement of money transfer transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, (ii) derivative contracts written to its customers in connection with providing cross-currency money transfer services and (iii) certain foreign currency denominated other asset and liability positions. The Company enters into foreign currency derivative contracts, primarily foreign currency forwards and cross-currency swaps, to minimize its exposure related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As a matter of Company policy, the derivative instruments used in these activities are economic hedges and are not designated as hedges under ASC 815 , primarily due to either the relatively short duration of the contract term or the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates being reflected concurrently in earnings for both the derivative instrument and the transaction and have an offsetting effect. Foreign currency exchange contracts - Ria Operations and Corporate In the United States, the Company uses short-duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities up to 14 days, to offset the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates on the collection of money transfer funds between initiation of a transaction and its settlement. Due to the short duration of these contracts and the Company's credit profile, the Company is generally not required to post collateral with respect to these foreign currency forward contracts. Most derivative contracts executed with counterparties in the U.S. are governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreement that includes standard netting arrangements; therefore, asset and liability positions from forward contracts and all other foreign exchange transactions with the same counterparty are net settled upon maturity. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 , the Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding in the U.S. with a notional value of $ 281.5 million and $ 393.3 million, respectively. The foreign currency forward contracts consist primarily in Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds, euros and Mexican pesos. 79 In addition, the Company uses forward contracts, typically with maturities from a few days to less than one year, to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain short-term borrowings that are payable in currencies other than the U.S dollar. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 , the Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional value of $ 710.4 million and $ 563.1 million, respectively, primarily in euros. Foreign currency exchange contracts - xe Operations xe, writes derivative instruments, primarily foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps, mostly with counterparties comprised of individuals and small-to-medium size businesses and derives a currency margin from this activity as part of its operations. xe aggregates its foreign currency exposures arising from customer contracts and hedges the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties. Foreign exchange revenues from xe's total portfolio of positions were $ 88.8 million , $ 85.3 million, and $ 86.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 and 2022 , respectively. All of the derivative contracts used in the Company's xe operations are economic hedges and are not designated as hedges under ASC 815 . The duration of these derivative contracts is generally less than one year . The fair value of xe's total portfolio of positions can change significantly from period to period based on, among other factors, market movements and changes in customer contract positions. xe manages counterparty credit risk (the risk that counterparties will default and not make payments according to the terms of the agreements) on an individual counterparty basis. It mitigates this risk by entering into contracts with collateral posting requirements and/or by performing financial assessments prior to contract execution, conducting periodic evaluations of counterparty performance and maintaining a diverse portfolio of qualified counterparties. xe does not expect any significant losses from counterparty defaults. The aggregate equivalent U.S. dollar notional amounts of foreign currency derivative customer contracts held by the Company in its xe operations as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 , was respectively $ 0.9 billion and $ 1.1 billion . The significant majority of customer contracts are written in major currencies such as the euro, U.S. dollar, British pound, Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar.

These derivative contracts are excluded from this table as they are part of the broader disclosure of foreign currency exchange revenues for this business discussed above. See Note 19 , Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements, for the determination of the fair values of derivatives. (14) Leases The Company enters into operating leases for ATM sites, office spaces, retail stores and equipment. The Company's finance leases are immaterial. Right of use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease terms. The present value of lease payments is determined using the incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 82 Most leases include an option to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease terms. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease terms. The Company also has a unilateral termination right for most of the ATM site leases. Leases of ATM sites with termination options exercisable within the next 12 months are excluded from the right of use lease assets and lease liability under the short-term lease exemption as the termination options are not reasonably certain not to be exercised. Payments for ATM site leases with termination options subject to the short-term lease exemption are expensed in the period incurred. T he short-term lease expense for 2024 reasonably ref lects the Company’s short-term lease commitments. Certain of the Company's lease agreements include variable rental payments based on revenues generated from the use of the leased location and certain leases include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Variable lease payments are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed occurs and are excluded from the right of use assets and lease liabilities balances. The lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Future minimum lease payments Future minimum lease payments under the operating leases (with initial lease terms in excess of one year) as of December 31, 2024 are: As of December 31, 2024 Maturity of Lease Liabilities (in millions) Operating Leases ( 1 ) 2025 $ 45.5 2026 34.9 2027 24.1 2028 14.3 2029 8.9 Thereafter 12.7 Total lease payments 140.4 Less: imputed interest ( 8.6 ) Present value of lease liabilities $ 131.8 ( 1 ) Operating lease payments reflect the Company's current fixed obligations under the operating lease agreements. 83 Lease expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is summarized as follows: Lease Expense (in millions) Income Statement Classification Year ended December 31, 2024 Year ended December 31, 2023 Year e nde d December 31, 2022 Operating lease expense Selling, general and administrative and Direct operating costs $ 51.6 $ 50.1 $ 51.0 Variable lease expense Selling, general and administrative and Direct operating costs 160.2 164.3 142.6 Total lease expense $ 211.8 $ 214.4 $ 193.6 Other information about lease amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is summarized as follows: Lease Term and Discount Rate of Operating Leases As of December 31, 2024 As of December 31, 2023 Weighted- average remaining lease term (years) 4.1 4.3 Weighted- average discount rate 3.08 % 2.49 % The following table presents supplemental cash flow and non-cash information related to leases: Other Information (in millions) Year ended December 31, 2024 Year ended December 31, 2023 Year ended December 31, 2022 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities (a) $ 51.5 $ 49.9 $ 49.7 Supplemental non-cash information on lease liabilities arising from obtaining ROU assets: ROU assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities $ 51.0 $ 49.9 $ 50.0 (a) Included in Net cash provided by operating activities on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. (15) Income Taxes The sources of income before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 and 2022 are presented as follows: Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Income before taxes: United States $ ( 29.7 ) $ 7.0 $ ( 12.5 ) Foreign 478.6 393.4 335.1 Total income before income taxes $ 448.9 $ 400.4 $ 322.6 84 The Company's income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 and 2022 consisted of the following: Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Current tax expense (benefit): U.S. $ 4.3 $ 5.1 $ 3.9 Foreign 118.6 102.9 80.3 Total current 122.9 108.0 84.2 Deferred tax expense (benefit): U.S. 6.1 12.2 ( 7.3 ) Foreign 13.6 0.7 15.0 Total deferred 19.7 12.9 7.7 Total tax expense $ 142.6 $ 120.9 $ 91.9 The following is a reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rates of 21 % to the effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 and 2022 : Year Ended December 31, (dollar amounts in millions) 2024 2023 2022 U.S. federal income tax expense at applicable statutory rate $ 94.3 $ 84.1 $ 67.7 Tax effect of: State income tax expense at statutory rates, net of U.S. federal income tax 3.5 3.7 3.7 Non-deductible expenses 4.1 2.9 1.7 Share-based compensation 3.9 4.0 1.9 Other permanent differences 8.0 0.9 ( 0.2 ) Difference between U.S. federal and foreign tax rates 21.8 16.7 13.9 Provision in excess of statutory rates ( 0.5 ) 8.3 3.6 Change in federal and foreign valuation allowance 1.2 2.7 ( 7.7 ) GILTI, net of tax credits 12.9 5.9 9.8 Tax credits ( 6.0 ) ( 9.2 ) ( 0.7 ) Other ( 0.6 ) 0.9 ( 1.8 ) Total income tax expense $ 142.6 $ 120.9 $ 91.9 Effective tax rate 31.77 % 30.19 % 28.47 % We calculate our provision for federal, state and foreign income taxes based on current tax law. 85 The tax effect of temporary differences and carryforwards that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities from continuing operations are as follows: As of December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 Deferred tax assets: Tax loss carryforwards $ 44.8 $ 59.3 Share-based compensation 15.0 15.8 Accrued expenses 19.3 20.1 Property and equipment 6.8 8.1 Goodwill and intangible amortization 9.3 11.2 Contract costs 0.7 3.5 Intercompany notes 6.6 16.7 Accrued revenue 0.7 4.0 Tax credits 61.6 58.1 Lease accounting 34.3 49.2 Foreign exchange 8.8 2.4 Capitalized research and development 10.8 6.2 Other 6.3 6.0 Total deferred tax assets 225.0 260.6 Valuation allowance ( 75.0 ) ( 90.7 ) Total deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance 150.0 169.9 Deferred tax liabilities: Intangible assets related to purchase accounting ( 28.2 ) ( 15.0 ) Goodwill and intangible amortization ( 31.8 ) ( 31.9 ) Accrued expenses ( 15.3 ) ( 25.7 ) Intercompany notes ( 5.8 ) ( 12.9 ) Accrued interest ( 42.6 ) ( 34.4 ) Capitalized research and development — ( 0.3 ) Property and equipment ( 6.9 ) ( 6.8 ) Accrued revenue ( 1.7 ) ( 2.8 ) Lease accounting ( 34.3 ) ( 49.2 ) Foreign exchange ( 14.7 ) ( 4.0 ) Partnership Investment ( 7.6 ) ( 3.1 ) Other ( 7.6 ) ( 2.5 ) Total deferred tax liabilities ( 196.5 ) ( 188.6 ) Net deferred tax liabilities $ ( 46.5 ) $ ( 18.7 ) 86 Net deferred tax assets of $ 25.3 million and $ 28.3 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are recorded within "Other assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Subsequently recognized tax benefits relating to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024 are expected to be allocated to income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2024 , and 2023 , the Company's foreign tax loss carryforwards were $ 183.3 million and $ 247.4 million, respectively, and U.S. state tax loss carryforwards were $ 81.0 million and $ 68.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 , the Company has U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards of $ 57.1 million and $ 53.6 million respectively, which are largely not expected to be utilized in future periods. In assessing the Company's ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances, as of December 31, 2024 . As of December 31, 2024 , the Company had foreign tax net operating loss carryforwards of $ 183.3 million, which will expire as follows: (in millions) Gross Tax Effected Year ending December 31, 2025 $ 3.7 $ 0.9 2026 7.8 1.9 2027 3.1 0.8 2028 4.6 1.1 2029 5.2 1.2 Thereafter 14.5 3.5 Unlimited 144.4 31.7 Total $ 183.3 $ 41.1 In addition, the Company's state tax net operating loss carryforwards of $ 81.0 million will expire periodically from 2025 through 2044 , U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards of $ 57.1 million will expire periodically from 2027 through 2034 and U.S. federal research and expenditure credit carryforwards of $ 3.8 million will expire periodically from 2034 through 2043 . The Company has not provided additional deferred taxes with respect to items such as certain foreign exchange gains or losses, foreign withholding taxes or additional state taxes, if any, on undistributed earnings attributable to foreign subsidiaries and it is not practical to determine the income tax liability that would be payable if such earnings were not reinvested indefinitely. Gross undistributed earnings reinvested indefinitely in foreign subsidiaries aggregated approximately $ 2,749.5 million as of December 31, 2024 . Based upon the current OECD rules and administrative guidance, as well as the related legislation of those countries which has been enacted to date, the Company does not anticipate being subject to material minimum foreign taxes. The Company is continuing to monitor the potential impact of the Pillar Two proposals and developments on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures, including eligibility for any transitional safe harbor rules. 87 Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows: Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 Beginning balance $ 51.8 $ 42.8 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 6.2 7.2 Additions for tax positions of prior years 1.4 2.6 Reductions for tax positions of prior years ( 4.0 ) ( 0.1 ) Settlements ( 0.2 ) - Statute of limitations expiration ( 6.6 ) ( 0.7 ) Ending balance $ 48.6 $ 51.8 As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 , approximately $ 36.4 million and $ 38.2 million, respectively, of the unrecognized tax benefits would impact the Company's provision for income taxes and effective income tax rate, if recognized. Total estimated accrued interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes was $ 7.1 million and $ 10.0 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 , respectively. The following income tax years remain open in the Company's major jurisdictions as of December 31, 2024 : Jurisdictions Periods U.S. (Federal) 2014 through 2024 Germany 2016 through 2024 Greece 2019 through 2024 Spain 2016 through 2024 U.K. 2019 through 2024 It is reasonably possible that the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits could significantly change within the next twelve months as a result of the resolution of audit examinations and expirations of certain statutes of limitations and, accordingly, materially affect the Company's operating results. At this time, it is not possible to estimate the range of change due to the uncertainty of potential outcomes. (16) Valuation and Qualifying Accounts Trade accounts receivable and accounts receivable balances included within the settlement assets are stated net of credit losses. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant write-offs. The Company records credit losses when it is probable that the accounts receivable balance will not be collected. The following table provides a summary of the credit loss balances and activity for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 and 2022 : Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Beginning balance-credit losses $ 39.3 $ 37.0 $ 31.8 Additions-charged to expense 18.7 13.3 16.3 Amounts written off ( 23.9 ) ( 9.8 ) ( 12.9 ) Other (primarily changes in foreign currency exchange rates) 1.8 ( 1.2 ) 1.8 Ending balance-credit losses $ 35.9 $ 39.3 $ 37.0 88 (17) Stock Plans The Company has share-based compensation plans ("SCP") that allow it to grant restricted shares, or options to purchase shares, of common stock to certain current and prospective key employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. These awards gen erally vest over periods ranging from three to four years from the date of grant. Stock options are generally exercisable during the shorter of a ten -year term or the term of employment with the Company. With the exception of certain awards made to the Company's employees in Germany, Singapore and Malaysia, awards under the SCP are settled through the issuance of new shares under the provisions of the SCP. For Company employees in Germany, Singapore and Malaysia, certain awards are settled through the issuance of treasury shares, which also reduces the number of shares available for future issuance under the SCP. As of December 31, 2024 , the Company has approximately 2.8 million in total shares remaining available for issuance under the SCP. Share-based compensation expense was $ 43.9 million, $ 53.7 million, and $ 44.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 and 2022 , respectively, and was recorded in salaries and benefits expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The CODM evaluates segment performance primarily based on financial metrics such as revenue, operating income, and other key performance indicators. In making resource allocation decisions, the CODM reviews segment operating income and revenue on a monthly basis to assess profitability and efficiency across segments. Additionally, the CODM considers forecast-to-actual variances in revenue, operating income, and key performance indicators as part of the forecasting process. These measures are used to guide decisions related to capital investments, personnel allocation, and strategic initiatives across the Company’s segments. The CODM also evaluates segment-level profitability and return on assets when making long-term investment decisions and assessing segment performance relative to strategic goals. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Euronet's reportable operating segments have been determined in accordance with ASC Topic 280 , Segment Reporting ("ASC 280 ") .

The EFT Processing Segment's customer base includes the most significant international card organizations and certain banks in its markets. The epay Segment's customer base is diverse and includes several major retailers and/or distributors in markets that they operate. The Money Transfer Segment trade accounts receivable is primarily due from independent agents that collect cash from customers on the Company's behalf and generally remit the cash within one week. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers' financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended, or purchases credit enhancement protection, when deemed necessary, but generally requires no collateral. See Note 16 , Valuation and Qualifying Accounts, to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further disclosure. The Company invests excess cash not required for use in operations primarily in high credit quality, short-term duration securities that the Company believes bear minimal risk. 95 Fair value measurements Fair value measurements used in the consolidated financial statements are based upon the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transac tion between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between ( 1 ) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and ( 2 ) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 ) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 ). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: L evel 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. L evel 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing. The follow ing table details financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis: As of December 31, 2024 (in millions) Balance Sheet Classification Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Foreign currency exchan ge cont racts Other current assets $ — $ 53.1 $ — $ 53.1 Convertible notes receivable Convertible notes receivable — — 56.3 56.3 Marketable securities Other assets 26.7 — — 26.7 Liabilities Foreign currency exchange contracts Other current liabilities $ — $ ( 53.7 ) $ — $ ( 53.7 ) As of December 31, 2023 (in millions) Balance Sheet Classification Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Foreign currency exchange contracts Other current assets $ — $ 50.0 $ — $ 50.0 Liabilities Foreign currency exchange contracts Other current liabilities $ — $ ( 39.1 ) $ — $ ( 39.1 ) The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and short-term debt obligations are approximate fair values due to their short maturities. The carrying values of the Company's revolving credit agreements approximate fair values because interest is based on SOFR that resets at various intervals of less than one year. The Company estimates the fair value of the Convertible Notes and Senior Notes using quoted prices in inactive markets for identical liabilities (Level 2 ). As of December 31, 2024 , the fair values of the Convertible Notes and Senior Notes were $ 515.4 million and $ 604.8 million , respectively, with carrying values of $ 525.0 million and $ 621.5 million, respectively. (20) Litigation and Contingencies From time to time, the Company is a party to legal or regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of the Company's business. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Currently , there are no legal proceedings or regulatory findings which are both probable that a liability has been incurred and can be reasonably estimated that management believes, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. During July 2024, the Company received an adverse judicial decision related to withholding taxes on certain agency relationships in Italy within the Money Transfer Segment, which the Company has appealed. In January 2025, the Company received a positive judicial decision in the same court related to the same issue but corresponding to a different taxable period. The Company completed an assessment and concluded that it is reasonably possible that a liability has been incurred, but not probable. The principal amount of the agent-based withholding tax could be approximately $ 16.5 million for all open periods. 96 (21) Commitments As of December 31, 2024 , the Company had $ 69.9 million of stand-by letters of credit/bank guarantees issued on its behalf, of which $ 3.0 million are collateralized by cash deposits held by the respective issuing banks. Under certain circumstances, the Company grants guarantees in support of the obligations of subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2024 , the Company granted off balance sheet guarantees for cash in various ATM networks amounting to $ 10.3 million over the terms of the cash supply agreements and performance guarantees amounting to approximately $ 39.6 million over the terms of the agreements with the customers. From time to time, the Company enters into agreements with commercial counterparties that contain indemnification provisions, the terms of which may vary depending on the negotiated terms of each respective agreement. The amount of such potential obligations is generally not stated in the agreements. Euronet's liability under such indemnification provisions may be mitigated by relevant insurance coverage and may be subject to time and materiality limitations, monetary caps and other conditions and defenses. Such indemnification obligations include the following: • In connection with contracts with financial institutions in the EFT Processing Segment, the Company is responsible for damage to ATMs and theft of ATM network cash that, generally, is not recorded on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2024 , the balance of such cash used in the Company's ATM networks for which the Company was responsible was approximately $ 416.3 million. The Company maintains insurance policies to mitigate this exposure; • In connection with contracts with certain customers the Company is responsible for losses suffered by those customers and other parties as a result of the breach of its computer systems, including in particular, losses arising from fraudulent transactions made using information stolen through its processing systems. The Company maintains insurance policies to mitigate this exposure; • In connection with the license of proprietary systems to customers, the Company provides certain warranties and infringement indemnities to the licensee, which generally warrant that such systems do not infringe on intellectual property owned by third parties and that the systems will perform in accordance with their specifications; • Euronet has entered into purchase and service agreements with vendors and consulting agreements with providers of consulting services, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify certain of such vendors and consultants, respectively, against third-party claims arising from the Company's use of the vendor's product or the services of the vendor or consultant; • In connection with acquisitions and dispositions of subsidiaries, operating units and business assets, the Company has entered into agreements containing indemnification provisions, which can be generally described as follows: (i) in connection with acquisitions of operating units or assets made by Euronet, the Company has agreed to indemnify the seller against third party claims made against the seller relating to the operating unit or asset and arising after the closing of the transaction, and (ii) in connection with dispositions made by Euronet, Euronet has agreed to indemnify the buyer against damages incurred by the buyer due to the buyer's reliance on representations and warranties relating to the subject subsidiary, operating unit or business assets in the disposition agreement if such representations or warranties were untrue when made; and • Euronet has entered into agreements with certain third parties, including banks that provide fiduciary and other services to Euronet or to the Company's benefit plans. Under such agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify such service providers for third-party claims relating to carrying out their respective duties under such agreements. The Company is also required to meet minimum capitalization and cash requirements of various regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Company has money transfer operations. The Company has obtained surety bonds in compliance with money transfer licensing requirements of the applicable governmental authorities. To date, the Company is not aware of any significant claims made by the indemnified parties or third parties to guarantee agreements with the Company and, accordingly, no liabilities were recorded as of December 31, 2024 or 2023 . (22) Related Party Transactions The Company leases an airplane from a company owned by Mr. Michael J. Brown, Euronet's Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chairman of the Board of Directors. The airplane is leased for business use on a per flight hour basis at competitive commercial rates with no minimum usage requirement. Euronet incurred expenses of $ 0.3 million, $ 0.2 million, and $ 0.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 and 2022 , respectively, for the use of this airplane. 97 Item 9.
