EURONET WORLDWIDE, INC.

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.

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highly liquid investments, with an original maturity of three months or less, and certificates of deposit, which may be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the Company without penalty, to be cash equivalents.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:

Goodwill and other 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.

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:

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. Deferred 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, 2025 and 2024, we had $97.9 million and $97.4 million, respectively, of deferred contract costs. For the years ended December 31, 2025,2024 and 2023, we had $29.8 million, $23.4 million, and $17.1 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.

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.

Share‑Based Compensation (ASC 718)

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 date 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 recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Depending on the nature of the underlying arrangements, revenue may be earned from transaction‑based fees, commissions, foreign exchange margins, or the sale of prepaid products. Sales and usage‑based taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues. The nature of the Company’s performance obligations varies by business segment based on the products and services provided. A description of the major components of revenue and the related performance obligations for each segment is as follows:

EFT

Nature of performance obligations

The Company provides electronic funds transfer processing services, which include routing, authorizing, switching, and completing ATM, POS, and card‑based electronic transactions, as well as operating ATM networks and providing outsourced ATM and card management services. Depending on the arrangement, the Company may also provide ATM monitoring, maintenance, and EFT software solutions.

For transaction‑based services, the various activities involved in processing a transaction (e.g., authorization, routing, settlement, and related value‑added services) are inputs to a single integrated service that customers cannot benefit from independently. For outsourcing arrangements, ATM management and related services are provided continuously over the contract term and represent a series of distinct periods of service that are substantially the same.

 Transaction‑based services: The Company satisfies its performance obligation at a point in time, which occurs when the electronic transaction is fully processed.

 Outsourcing services: The Company satisfies its performance obligation over time, as customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the ATM management and processing services. Revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term, generally based on fixed monthly fees and/or contracted fee schedules.

Revenue consists primarily of transaction fees, management fees, foreign currency exchange margin on ATM withdrawals, and fees from value‑added services such as dynamic currency conversion and surcharges. The Company acts as principal in these arrangements, as it controls the ATM network or processing services prior to transfer to the customer; accordingly, revenue is recognized on a gross basis.

epay

Nature of performance obligations

The Company provides distribution, activation, and electronic processing services for prepaid mobile airtime, digital media products, and other stored‑value goods through a network of POS terminals and direct system integrations. Depending on the arrangement, the Company may act as agent (providing distribution services on behalf of operators or content providers) or as principal (generally in arrangements where the Company controls the product prior to transfer, including where rights of return to vendors exist).

These activities — including making prepaid products available, processing activations, routing electronic transactions, and providing access to operators’ platforms — are inputs to the Company’s service and support the transfer of either (i) a distribution service (agency model) or (ii) a prepaid product (principal model).

 Distribution and agency services (net): The performance obligation is fulfilled at a point in time, generally when the prepaid product is delivered or activated and the Company earns a commission.

 Principal sales of prepaid products (gross): The performance obligation is fulfilled at a point in time, when control of the prepaid product transfers to the retailer or end customer, typically upon activation or delivery.

 Transaction processing services: The performance obligation is fulfilled at a point in time, when the underlying electronic transaction is fully processed.

 For agency arrangements, the Company does not control the underlying product and therefore recognizes revenue net of amounts remitted to operators, content providers, or retailers.

 For principal arrangements, the Company controls the prepaid product prior to transfer and therefore recognizes revenue on a gross basis, with the related acquisition cost recorded as a direct operating expense.

 Transaction processing revenue is recognized based on fees earned per processed transaction, regardless of whether the transaction is completed or declined due to issuer authorization outcomes.

Money Transfer:

Nature of performance obligation

The Company provides a single, integrated money transfer service that enables a sender to transfer funds to a designated recipient through the Company’s global origination and payout network. The service encompasses (i) accepting and validating the transfer request, (ii) routing and processing the transaction through the Company’s systems, (iii) transmitting the necessary information to payout partners, (iv) performing foreign currency conversion when required, and (v) making funds available for payout at the destination. These activities are inputs to the same overall service and are not distinct within the context of the contract because customers cannot benefit from them on a standalone basis.

The Company satisfies its performance obligation at a point in time, which occurs when the transaction is fully processed and funds are made available for payout to the recipient. At that point, control of the service has transferred to the customer.

Revenue consists of (a) transaction fees charged to customers and (b) foreign exchange margins earned when converting currency at retail rates relative to wholesale acquisition costs. Foreign exchange is not a separate performance obligation; it is an integral component of the end‑to‑end money transfer service. Amounts owed to origination and distribution agents for facilitating the sending and payout of funds are treated as direct operating costs of fulfilling the Company’s single performance obligation.

Principal considerations

The Company acts as principal in money transfer transactions because it controls the service prior to transfer to the customer, including discretion over the routing of transactions, the payout network used, and the terms of currency conversion. Accordingly, revenue is presented gross of agent commissions and other amounts remitted to payout partners, which are recorded in direct operating costs.

Deferred Revenues - The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of its performance. The increase in the deferred revenue balance for the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by $42.1 million of cash payments received in the current year for which the Company has not yet satisfied the performance obligations, offset by $38.5 million of revenues recognized that were included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2024.

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.

Recent accounting guidance

Adopted

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 adopted this standard in 2025. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Issued but not yet adopted

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.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑06, Internal‑Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for internal‑use software by removing development “project stages” and requiring capitalization to begin when management authorizes funding and it is probable the project will be completed and used as intended. The ASU also supersedes the existing website development cost guidance and incorporates it into Subtopic 350‑40. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU and does not expect a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
