NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1) General and Basis of Presentation

(a) General

Cardtronics plc, together with its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), provides convenient automated financial related services to consumers through its global network of automated teller machines and multi-function financial services kiosks (collectively referred to as “ATMs”). As of March 31, 2020, the Company was the world’s largest ATM owner/operator, providing services to over 285,000 ATMs globally, approximately 25% of which are Company-owned.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, approximately 68% of the Company’s revenues were derived from operations in North America (including its ATM operations in the United States ("U.S."), Canada, and Mexico), approximately 27% of the Company’s revenues were derived from operations in Europe and Africa (including its ATM operations in the United Kingdom ("U.K."), Ireland, Germany, Spain, and South Africa), and approximately 5% of the Company’s revenues were derived from the Company’s operations in Australia and New Zealand. As of March 31, 2020, the Company provided processing only services or various forms of managed services solutions to approximately 198,000 ATMs. Under a managed services arrangement, retailers, financial institutions, and ATM distributors rely on Cardtronics to handle some or all of the operational aspects associated with operating and maintaining ATMs, typically in exchange for a monthly service fee, fee per transaction, or fee per service provided.

Through its network, the Company delivers financial related services to cardholders and provides ATM management and ATM equipment-related services (typically under multi-year contracts) to large retail merchants, smaller retailers, and operators of facilities such as shopping malls, casinos, airports, and train stations. In doing so, the Company provides its retail partners with a compelling automated solution that helps attract and retain customers, and in turn, increases the likelihood that the ATMs placed at their facilities will be utilized. The Company also owns and operates electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) transaction processing platforms that provide transaction processing services to its network of ATMs, as well as to other ATMs under managed services arrangements. Additionally, the Company provides processing services for issuers of debit cards.

In addition to its retail merchant relationships, the Company also partners with leading financial institutions to brand selected ATMs within its network. These financial institutions include, but are not limited to, BBVA Compass Bancshares, Inc. (“BBVA”), Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), Citizens Financial Group, Inc. (“Citizens”), Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. (“Cullen/Frost”), Discover Bank (“Discover”), PNC Bank, N.A. (“PNC Bank”), Santander Bank, N.A. (“Santander”), TD Bank, N.A. (“TD Bank”), United Services Automobile Association ("USAA"), US Bank Corp ("US Bank") in the U.S.; BMO Bank of Montreal (“BMO”), the Bank of Nova Scotia (“Scotiabank”), Canadian Imperial Bank Commerce (“CIBC”), and TD Bank in Canada; the Bank of Queensland Limited (“BOQ”) and HSBC Holdings plc (“HSBC”) in Australia; and Capitec Bank ("Capitec"), Mercantile Bank ("Mercantile") and Old Mutual ("Old Mutual") in South Africa. In Mexico, the Company partners with Scotiabank and Banco Multiva by putting their brands on our ATMs in exchange for certain services provided by them. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 25,000 of the Company’s ATMs were under contract with approximately 500 financial institutions to place their logos on the ATMs and to provide convenient surcharge-free access for their banking customers. The Company also provides managed services offerings for financial institutions, which generally include full outsourcing of a portion or all of the financial institution's ATMs.

The Company owns and operates the Allpoint network (“Allpoint”), the largest retail based surcharge-free ATM network (based on the number of participating ATMs). Allpoint has over 55,000 participating ATMs and provides surcharge-free ATM access to approximately 1,200 participating credit unions, banks, and stored-value debit card issuers. For participants, Allpoint provides scale, density, and convenience of surcharge-free ATMs that surpasses the largest banks in the U.S. Allpoint earns either a fixed monthly fee per cardholder or a fixed fee per transaction that is paid by the participants. Allpoint includes a majority of the Company’s owned ATMs in the U.S. and certain ATMs in the U.K., Canada, Mexico, and Australia. Allpoint also provides services to organizations that manage stored-value debit card programs on behalf of corporate entities and governmental agencies, including general purpose, payroll, and electronic benefits transfer cards. Under these programs, the issuing organizations pay Allpoint a fee per issued stored-value debit card or per transaction in return for allowing the users of those cards surcharge-free access to Allpoint’s participating ATM network.

Table of Contents

The Company’s revenues are generally recurring in nature and historically have been derived primarily from convenience transaction fees, which are paid by cardholders, as well as other transaction-based fees, including interchange fees, which are paid by the cardholder’s financial institution for the use of the ATMs serving their customers and connectivity to the applicable EFT network that transmits data between the ATM and the cardholder’s financial institution. Other revenue sources include: (i) fees from financial institutions that participate in Allpoint, (ii) fees for bank-branding ATMs and providing financial institution cardholders with surcharge-free access, (iii) revenues earned by providing managed services (including transaction processing services) solutions to retailers and financial institutions, (iv) fees earned from foreign currency exchange transactions at the ATM, known as dynamic currency conversion, and (v) revenues from the sale of ATMs and ATM-related equipment and other ancillary services.

(b) Basis of Presentation

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial information. As this is an interim period filing presented using a condensed format, it does not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”), although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. This Form 10-Q should be read along with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”), which includes a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures.

In management’s opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim and prior period results have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

The unaudited interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company owns a majority (95.7%) interest in, and realizes a majority of the earnings and/or losses of, Cardtronics Mexico, S.A. de C.V.; thus this entity is reflected as a consolidated subsidiary in the financial statements, with the remaining ownership interests not held by the Company being reflected as noncontrolling interests.

The preparation of the unaudited interim financial statements to conform with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of this Form 10-Q and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and these differences could be material to the financial statements.

(c) Cost of ATM Operating Revenues Presentation 

The Company presents the Cost of ATM operating revenues in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets related to ATMs and ATM-related assets.

The following table reflects the amounts excluded from the Cost of ATM operating revenues line in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020		2019
	(In thousands)
Depreciation and accretion expenses related to ATMs and ATM-related assets	$	22,781	$	24,607
Amortization of intangible assets	8,413		12,412
Total depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets excluded from Cost of ATM operating revenues	$	31,194	$	37,019

(d) Restructuring Expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company continued certain corporate reorganization and cost reduction initiatives that began in 2019. The Company incurred approximately $1.2 million of pre-tax expenses related to this activity that primarily included facility closures, workforce reductions, professional fees and other related charges.

Table of Contents

The following table reflects the amounts recorded in the Restructuring expenses line in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented:

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2020		2019
	(In thousands)
Europe & Africa		$	1,000	$	—
Corporate		$	209	$	—
Total		$	1,209	$	—

The costs incurred in Europe & Africa included facility related costs consisting of non-cash asset write-offs and accelerated lease expenses, presented as a reduction of the associated operating lease assets, and an insignificant amount pertaining to workforce reductions. The costs incurred in Corporate included professional fees. The restructuring liability balance as of March 31, 2020 was $0.6 million and there were no outstanding restructuring liabilities as of March 31, 2019. Restructuring liabilities were $1.0 million and $1.5 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

(e) Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

For purposes of reporting financial condition, cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank and short-term deposit accounts. Additionally, the Company maintains cash on deposit with banks that is pledged for a particular use or restricted to support a liability. These balances are recorded in Restricted cash line in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets based on when the Company expects this cash to be paid. Current restricted cash primarily consists of amounts collected on behalf of, but not yet remitted to, certain of the Company’s merchant customers or third-party service providers. Restricted cash in current assets is offset by a corresponding liability balance in the Accrued liabilities line in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The changes in the settlement liabilities corresponding to the changes in the balance of restricted cash during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are presented in the Statements of Cash Flows within the increase in restricted cash liabilities line.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the ending cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, corresponding with the balances in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

	March 31,
	2020		2019

(g) Accounts and Notes Receivable-Credit Losses

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized additional estimated credit losses of approximately $0.9 million. As of March 31, 2020, 73% of the Accounts and Notes Receivable balance was current and not yet due and the Company held an allowance for estimated credit losses of $8.1 million.

(2) New Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

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

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

Fair Value Measurement. In January 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework (Topic 820): Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement in January 2020. This guidance modified the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The Company's adoption of these disclosure requirements had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The new standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes, performing intra-period allocations and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The new standard also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. Revenue is recorded in ATM operating revenues and ATM product sales and other revenues line items in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

ATM operating revenues are recognized daily as the associated transactions are processed or monthly on a per ATM or per cardholder basis. When customer contracts provide for up-front fees that do not pertain to a distinct performance obligation, the fees are recognized over the term of the underlying agreement on a straight-line basis. ATM product sales and other revenues are recognized when the related performance obligations are fulfilled upon transfer of control of goods or services to the customer.

ATM operating revenues. The Company presents revenues from automated consumer financial services, bank-branding and surcharge-free network offerings, managed services and other services in the ATM operating revenues line in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s ATM operating revenues consist of the following:

12

Table of Contents

•Surcharge revenue. Surcharge revenues are received in the form of a fee paid by a cardholder who has made a cash withdrawal from an ATM. Surcharge fees can vary widely based on the location of the ATM and the nature of the contracts negotiated with merchants. In the U.S. and Canada, the Company does not receive surcharge fees from cardholders whose financial institutions participate in a surcharge-free network or have branded a location; instead, the Company receives interchange and bank-branding or surcharge-free network-branding revenues, which are discussed below. For certain ATMs, primarily those owned and operated by merchants, the Company does not receive any portion of the surcharge but rather the entire surcharge fee is earned by the merchant. In the U.K., ATM deployers operate their ATMs on either a free-to-use (surcharge-free) or a pay-to-use (surcharge) basis. On free-to-use ATMs in the U.K., the Company earns interchange revenue on withdrawal and certain other transactions. These fees are paid by the cardholder’s financial institution. On pay-to-use ATMs in the U.K., the Company only earns a surcharge fee paid by the cardholder on withdrawal transactions and interchange is only paid by the cardholder’s financial institution on other non-withdrawal transaction types. The Company earns both surcharge and interchange in Spain. In Germany, Australia, and Mexico, the Company collects surcharge fees on withdrawal transactions but generally does not receive interchange revenue. In South Africa, the Company generally earns interchange revenues, which varies by transaction type and customer arrangement. Surcharge revenues, as described above, are recognized daily as the associated transactions are processed.

•Interchange revenue. An interchange fee is a fee paid by the cardholder’s financial institution for its customer’s use of an ATM that is owned by another operator and for the fee the EFT network charges to transmit data between the ATM and the cardholder’s financial institution. The Company typically receives a majority of the interchange fee paid by the cardholder’s financial institution, net of the amount retained by the EFT network, and recognizes the net amount received from the network as revenue. In some markets in which the Company operates, interchange fees are earned not only on cash withdrawal transactions but also on other ATM transactions, including balance inquiries and balance transfers. Interchange revenues are subject to various arrangements and are recognized daily as the associated transactions are processed.

•Bank-branding and surcharge-free network revenues. Under a bank-branding arrangement, ATMs that are Company-owned and operated are branded with the logo of the branding financial institution. In exchange for a fee paid by the financial institution, the financial institution’s customers gain access to use these bank-branded ATMs without paying a surcharge fee. Under the Company’s Allpoint surcharge-free network, financial institutions that participate pay a fixed monthly fee per cardholder and/or a fixed fee per transaction so that cardholders gain surcharge-free access to our large network of ATMs. Bank-branding and surcharge-free network revenues are generally recognized monthly on a per ATM or per cardholder basis. Similarly, transaction-based fee arrangements are recognized monthly. Any up-front fees associated with these arrangements are recognized ratably over the life of the arrangement.

•Managed services and processing revenues. Under managed service agreements, the Company provides various forms of ATM-related services, including monitoring, maintenance, cash management, cash delivery, customer service, on-screen advertising, processing and other services to merchants, financial institutions, and third-party ATM operators. Under processing arrangements, the Company provides transaction processing services to merchants, financial institutions, and third-party operators. Under managed services and processing arrangements, surcharge and interchange fees are generally earned by the customer and the Company typically receives a fixed fee per transaction and/or a periodic management fee per ATM in return for providing the agreed-upon operating services. The managed services and processing fees are recognized as the related services are provided to the customers.

The Company’s bank-branding, surcharge-free network and managed services arrangements result in the Company providing a series of distinct services that have similar patterns of transfer to the customer. As a result, these arrangements create performance obligations that are satisfied over-time (generally 3-5 years) for which the Company has a right to consideration that corresponds directly with the value of the entity’s performance completed to date. In conjunction with these arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue in the amount that it has a right to receive. Variable consideration may exist in these arrangements and is recognized only to the extent a significant reversal is not probable.

ATM product sales and other revenues. The Company presents revenues from other product sales and services in the ATM product sales and other revenues line in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company earns revenues from the sale of ATMs and ATM-related equipment as well as the delivery of other non-transaction-based services. Revenues related to these activities are recognized when ownership of the equipment is transferred to the customer and the Company has completed all required installation and set-up procedures. With respect to the sale of ATMs to Value-Added-Resellers (“VARs”), the Company recognizes revenues related to such sales when ownership of the equipment is transferred to the VAR.

Table of Contents

Due to the transactional nature of the Company’s revenue, there are no significant judgments that affect the determination of the amount and timing of its revenues.

Contract Balances

As of March 31, 2020, the Company has recognized no significant contract assets. Contract liabilities totaled $8.2 million and $9.0 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These amounts represent deferred revenues for advance consideration received primarily in relation to bank-branding and surcharge-free network arrangements. The revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 on previously deferred revenues was not significant. The Company expects to recognize the revenue associated with its contract liabilities ratably over various periods extending over the next 36 months. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company did not recognize any significant impairment losses related to its contract assets.

Contract Acquisition Cost

The Company expects that the incremental commissions paid to sales personnel, together with other associated costs, are recoverable, and therefore, the Company capitalizes these amounts as deferred contract acquisition costs. Deferred contract acquisition costs totaled $7.0 million and $7.5 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Sales commissions capitalized are generally amortized over a 4-5 year period corresponding with the related agreements. Similarly, the costs incurred to fulfill a contract, primarily consisting of prepaid merchant commissions and other consideration paid or provided to merchant partners, are capitalized and recognized over the duration of the related contract. The Company does not capitalize the costs of obtaining a contract if the associated contract is one year or less.

(4) Share-based Compensation 

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation by recognizing the grant date fair value of share-based awards, net of estimated forfeitures, as share-based compensation expense over the underlying requisite service periods of the related awards. The grant date fair value is based upon the Company's share price on the date of the grant.

The following table reflects the total share-based compensation expense amounts reported in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations:

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2020		2019
	(In thousands)
Cost of ATM operating revenues		$	545	$	261
Selling, general, and administrative expenses		4,648		4,223
Total share-based compensation expense		$	5,193	$	4,484

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, total share-based compensation expense increased by $0.7 million compared to the same period of 2019, respectively. This increase is attributable to the amount, timing and terms of share-based payment awards granted during the periods, net of estimated forfeitures.

Restricted Stock Units. The Company grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under its Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), which is an annual equity award program under the Fourth Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. The ultimate number of RSUs, that are determined to be earned under the LTIP are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors ("Board"), based on the Company’s achievement of previously specified performance levels at the end of the associated performance period. RSU grants are service-based (“Time-RSUs”), performance-based (“Performance-RSUs”), or market-based (“Market-Based-RSUs”). Each is recognized ratably over the associated service period. For Time-RSUs and Market-Based-RSUs, the Company recognizes the related compensation expense based on the grant date fair value. The grant date fair value of the Time-Based RSUs is the Company's closing stock price on the date of grant while the grant date fair value of the Market-Based-RSUs is derived from a Monte Carlo simulation. For Performance-RSUs, the Company recognizes the related compensation expense based on the estimated performance levels that management believes will ultimately be met. Time-RSUs are convertible into the Company’s common shares upon passage of the annual graded vesting periods, which begin 1-2 years after the grant date and extend 3-4 years. Performance-RSUs and Market-Based RSUs will be earned to the extent the Company achieves the associated performance-based or market-based vesting conditions and these awards are convertible into the Company’s common shares after the passage of the vesting periods which extend 3-4 years from the grant date. Although these RSUs are not considered to be earned and outstanding until the vesting conditions are met, the Company recognizes the related compensation expense over the requisite service period (or to an employee’s qualified

Table of Contents

retirement date, if earlier) using a graded vesting methodology. RSUs may also be granted outside of LTIPs, with or without performance-based vesting requirements.

The number of the Company’s earned non-vested RSUs as of March 31, 2020, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2020, are presented below:

	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested RSUs as of December 31, 2019	742,352	$	29.44
Granted	703,557	22.98
Vested	(393,094)	29.47
Forfeited	(10,488)	33.14
Non-vested RSUs as of March 31, 2020	1,042,327	$	25.03

The above table only includes earned RSUs. Performance-RSUs and Market-Based RSUs that are not yet earned are not included. The number of Market-Based RSUs granted in 2018, net of forfeitures, was 134,989 units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $24.13. The number of Performance-RSUs granted at target in 2019, net of forfeitures, was 114,607 units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $33.76 per unit. The number of Performance-RSUs granted at target in 2020, net of forfeitures, was 101,438 units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $20.92 per unit. The number of Market-Based RSUs granted in 2019, net of forfeitures, was 114,529 units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $49.23 per unit. The number of Market-Based RSUs granted in 2020, net of forfeitures, was 101,434 units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $25.85. Time-RSUs are included in the listing of outstanding RSUs as granted.

As of March 31, 2020, the unrecognized compensation expense associated with earned RSUs was $10.4 million, which will be recognized using a graded vesting schedule for Performance-RSUs and a straight-line vesting schedule for Time-RSUs, over a remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 2.08 years. 

Options. The number of the Company’s outstanding stock options as of March 31, 2020, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2020, are presented below:

	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price
Options outstanding as of December 31, 2019	380,180	$	26.01
Granted	233,888	20.92
Exercised	(13,020)	22.31
Forfeited	(2,855)	31.99
Options outstanding as of March 31, 2020	598,193	$	24.07
Options vested and exercisable as of March 31, 2020	199,223	$	24.80

As of March 31, 2020, the unrecognized compensation expense associated with outstanding options was approximately $6.5 million, which will be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 2.63 years. The weighted average contractual term associated with outstanding options was 8.93 years as of March 31, 2020.

(5) Earnings Per Share

The Company reports its earnings per share under the two-class method. Under this method, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share (as well as their related impact on the net income available to common shareholders) when their impact on net income available to common shareholders is anti-dilutive.

Potentially dilutive securities for the three months ended March 31, 2020, included all outstanding stock options and RSUs, which were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for these periods. The potentially dilutive effect of outstanding warrants and the underlying shares exercisable under the Company’s $287.5 million of 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Convertible Notes”) were excluded from diluted shares outstanding as the exercise price exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common shares. The effect of the convertible note hedge, described in Note 9. Long-Term Debt was also excluded as the effect is anti-dilutive.

The allocated details of our Earnings per Share are as follows:

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2020		2019
	(in thousands, excluding share and per share amounts)
Net income available to common shareholders		$	5,755	$	4,319
Weighted average common basic shares outstanding (for basic calculation)		44,729,824		46,223,764
Dilutive effect of outstanding common stock options and RSUs		1,011,437		411,269

Net income per common share - basic		$	0.13	$	0.09
Net income per common share - diluted		$	0.13	$	0.09

The computations of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, exclude approximately 200,000 and 60,000, respectively, potentially dilutive common shares because the effect of including these shares in the computation would have been antidilutive. In addition, the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 excludes approximately 233,000 weighted average dilutive shares that are contingently issuable, consisting of market-based and performance based awards for which all necessary conditions had not been satisfied.

(6) Shareholders' Equity

Share Repurchases. On March 26, 2019, the Company announced that its Board had authorized a share repurchase program, enabling the repurchase of up to $50 million of its Class A ordinary shares through August 31, 2020. Share repurchases under the authorized plan could be effected on behalf of the Company through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, pursuant to SEC trading rules. The Company exhausted this authorization in September 2019. Subsequently, on November 21, 2019, the Company announced that its Board had authorized the repurchase of an additional $50 million of its Class A ordinary shares through December 31, 2020. Share repurchases under the authorized plans could be effected on behalf of the Company through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, pursuant to SEC trading rules.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased and canceled 505,699 of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $16.9 million inclusive of stamp taxes of $0.1 million. On April 1, 2020, the Company announced the suspension of its buyback program as part of its COVID-19 related business update.

The Company records unrealized gains and losses related to its interest rate swap contracts net of taxes, in the Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net line within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net are recognized in the Cost of ATM operating revenues, Interest expense, net, or Other expense (income) lines in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company has elected the portfolio approach for the deferred tax asset of the unrealized gains and losses related to the interest rate swap contracts in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under the portfolio approach, the disproportionate tax effect created when the valuation allowance was appropriately released as a tax benefit into continuing operations in 2010, will reverse out of the Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net line within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and into continuing operations as a tax expense when the Company ceases to hold any interest rate swap contracts. As of March 31, 2020, the disproportionate tax effect is $14.6 million.

(7) Intangible Assets 

Goodwill

For the goodwill impairment evaluation as of December 31, 2019, the Company elected to perform the optional qualitative assessment allowed under the applicable guidance to determine if it was necessary to perform a quantitative assessment for any reporting unit. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that the carrying value of its U.S., U.K., Australia & New Zealand, South Africa, Germany and Mexico reporting units exceeded their fair value. As such, the Company determined that a quantitative assessment was not necessary for these reporting units. The Company did, however, identify impairment indicators associated with the Canada reporting unit, which required the Company to complete a quantitative impairment assessment.

For the quantitative assessment prepared as of December 31, 2019, the Company prepared a 5-year cash flow forecast, which incorporated assumptions on operating efficiencies and increased resulting cash flows over time and a discount rate of 10%. Based on this estimation, the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value by $7.3 million. Therefore, consistent with the early adoption of ASU 2017-4, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment of $7.3 million, the amount by which the carrying amount of the Canada reporting unit exceeded its fair value. This impairment was recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2019, in the Loss on disposal and impairment of assets line of the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations together with certain unrelated disposals in the ordinary course of business. After the impairment, the Canada reporting unit's goodwill was approximately $104 million at December 31, 2019.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, and in response to the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company performed an additional qualitative assessment and determined that it was not more likely than not that the carrying value of its U.S., U.K., Australia & New Zealand, South Africa, Germany and Mexico reporting units exceeded their fair value. As such, the Company determined that a quantitative assessment was not necessary for these reporting units. For the Canada reporting unit, considering the goodwill impairment recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company bypassed the optional qualitative assessment and performed an updated quantitative assessment. For this quantitative assessment, the Company prepared a revised cash flow forecast that incorporated the estimated COVID-19 impact, assumptions on operating efficiencies and resulting cash flows over time, and a discount rate of 9.7%. Based on this quantitative test, the fair value of the reporting unit marginally exceeded its carrying value and no additional goodwill impairment was recognized. The Canada reporting unit's goodwill was approximately $95.6 million at March 31, 2020. To the extent that the Company is unable to meet its forecasts in the future, further impairment charges are possible.

The following table presents the net carrying amounts of the Company’s Goodwill as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, as well as the changes in the net carrying amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2020 by segment. As of March 31, 2020 the Company held no significant indefinite-lived assets. For additional information related to the Company’s segments, see Note 17. Segment Information.

Revolving Credit Facility

        On September 19, 2019, the Company entered into a first amendment to its second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides the Company with a $750 million revolving credit facility maturing on September 19, 2024, and accordion feature allowing the Company to (a) increase the available borrowings under the credit facility to $850 million and (b) incur incremental term loans under the facility. Any term loans will rank equal in right of payment with revolving loans under the credit facility and will not mature earlier than the revolving loans.

The total commitments under the credit facility can be borrowed in U.S. dollars, alternative currencies (including Euros, U.K. pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars and South African rand), or a combination thereof. Borrowings (not including swingline loans) accrue interest, at the Company’s option and based on the type of currency borrowed, at the Alternate Base Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate, the Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate or the Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate (each, as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin depending on the Company’s most recent Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The margin for Alternative Base Rate loans and Canadian Prime Rate loans varies between 0% and 0.75%, and the margin for Adjusted LIBO Rate loans, Canadian Dealer Offered Rate loans, Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate loans and Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate Loans varies between 1.00% and 1.75%. Swingline loans denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus a margin as described above, swingline loans denominated in Canadian dollars bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus a margin as described above and swingline loans denominated in other alternative currencies bear interest at the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus the applicable margin for the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate or the Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate, as applicable.

Each of the Credit Facility Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has guaranteed the full and punctual payment of the obligations under the revolving credit facility and the obligations under the revolving credit facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Credit Facility Guarantors. In addition, Controlled Foreign Corporation (or "CFC"), CFC Borrowers and CFC Guarantors are defined in the Credit Agreement. The obligations of the CFC Borrowers are guaranteed by the CFC Guarantors and secured by substantially all of the assets of the CFC Guarantors.

The Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for similar credit arrangements, including, among other things, covenants relating to: (i) financial reporting and notification, (ii) payment of obligations, (iii) compliance with applicable laws, (iv) notification of certain events, and (v) certain covenants relating to, among other things, the sale or transfer of assets, fundamental changes, incurrence or guarantee of indebtedness, liens,

Table of Contents

investments, hedging transactions, transactions with affiliates and sale and leaseback transactions. Financial covenants in the Credit Agreement require the Company to maintain: (i) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, a Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no more than 4.25 to 1.00, and (ii) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no less than 3.00 to 1.00. Additionally, the Company is limited in its ability to make restricted payments; however, the Company may generally make restricted payments so long as no event of default exists at the time of such payment and the Total Net Leverage Ratio is less 3.75 to 1.00 at the time such restricted payment is made. As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s actual Total Net Leverage Ratio was 2.4 and its Interest Coverage Ratio was 11.7.

In March 2020, in anticipation of the maturity of the Convertible Notes due on December 1, 2020 and for additional liquidity as a precautionary measure given the economic uncertainty caused by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the Company drew all of the borrowing capacity under our credit facility resulting in the Company holding $613.7 million in cash as of March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $746.6 million of outstanding borrowings under its $750 million revolving credit facility and was in compliance with all applicable covenants and ratios under the Credit Agreement. The Company also had $10.0 million outstanding in letters of credit. The weighted average interest rates on the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility were 2.4% and 2.3%, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

$287.5 million 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2020 and Related Equity Instruments

On November 19, 2013, Cardtronics, Inc. issued the Convertible Notes at par value. Cardtronics, Inc. received $254.2 million in net proceeds from the offering after deducting underwriting fees paid to the initial purchasers and a repurchase of 665,994 of its outstanding common shares concurrent with the offering. Cardtronics, Inc. used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to fund the net cost of the convertible note hedge transaction, as described below. The convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were entered into concurrent with the pricing of the Convertible Notes. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 1st and December 1st of each year. Under U.S. GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion are required to be separately accounted for as liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. The Company, with assistance from a valuation professional, determined that the fair value of the debt component was $215.8 million and the fair value of the embedded option was $71.7 million as of the issuance date. The Company recognizes effective interest expense on the debt component and that interest expense effectively accretes the debt component to the total principal amount due at maturity of $287.5 million. The effective rate of interest to accrete the debt balance is approximately 5.26%, which corresponded to the Company’s estimated conventional debt instrument borrowing rate at the date of issuance.

On July 1, 2016, Cardtronics plc, Cardtronics, Inc., and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, entered into a supplemental indenture (the “Convertible Notes Supplemental Indenture”) with respect to the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes Supplemental Indenture provides for the unconditional and irrevocable guarantee by Cardtronics plc of the prompt payment, when due, of any amount owed to the holders of the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes Supplemental Indenture also provides that, from and after July 1, 2016, the Convertible Notes will be convertible into shares of Cardtronics plc in lieu of common shares of Cardtronics, Inc.

The Convertible Notes have a conversion price of $52.35 per share, which equals a conversion rate of 19.1022 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, for a total of approximately 5.5 million shares underlying the debt. The conversion rate, however, is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Conversion can occur: (i) any time on or after September 1, 2020, (ii) after March 31, 2014, during any calendar quarter that follows a calendar quarter in which the price of the shares exceeds 135% of the conversion price for at least 20 days during the 30 consecutive trading-day period ending on the last trading day of the quarter, (iii) during the 10 consecutive trading-day period following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price of the Convertible Notes is less than 98% of the closing price of the shares multiplied by the applicable conversion rate on each such trading day, (iv) upon specified distributions to Cardtronics plc’s shareholders upon recapitalizations, reclassifications, or changes in shares, and (v) upon a make-whole fundamental change. A fundamental change is defined as any one of the following: (i) any person or group that acquires 50% or more of the total voting power of all classes of common equity that is entitled to vote generally in the election of Cardtronics plc’s directors, (ii) Cardtronics plc engages in any recapitalization, reclassification, or changes of common shares as a result of which the shares would be converted into or exchanged for, shares, other securities, other assets, or property, (iii) Cardtronics plc engages in any share exchange, consolidation, or merger where the shares converted into cash, securities, or other property, (iv) the Company engages in certain sales, leases, or other transfers of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets, or (v) Cardtronics plc’s shares are not listed for trading on any U.S. national securities exchange.

None of the Convertible Notes were deemed convertible as of March 31, 2020. The Convertible Notes are due December 1, 2020 and are classified as a current liability in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2020, as the Company has drawn its revolver in anticipation of the retirement of the Convertible Notes.

Upon conversion, holders of the Convertible Notes are entitled to receive cash, shares, or a combination of cash and shares, at the Company’s election. In the event of a change in control, as defined in the indenture under which the Convertible Notes have been issued, holders can require Cardtronics to purchase all or a portion of their Convertible Notes for 100% of the notes’ par value plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

The Company’s interest expense related to the Convertible Notes consisted of the following:

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, Cardtronics, Inc. entered into separate convertible note hedge and warrant transactions to reduce the potential dilutive impact upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes. The net effect of these transactions effectively raised the price at which dilution would occur from the $52.35 initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes to $73.29. Pursuant to the convertible note hedge, Cardtronics, Inc. purchased call options granting Cardtronics Inc. the right to acquire up to approximately 5.5 million common shares with an initial strike price of $52.35. The call options automatically become exercisable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, and will terminate on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding December 1, 2020. Cardtronics Inc. also sold to the initial purchasers warrants to acquire up to approximately 5.5 million common shares with a strike price of $73.29. The warrants will expire incrementally on a series of expiration dates subsequent to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes through August 30, 2021. If the conversion price of the Convertible Notes remains between the strike prices of the call options and warrants, Cardtronics plc’s shareholders will not experience any dilution in connection with the conversion of the Convertible Notes; however, to the extent that the price of the shares exceeds the strike price of the warrants on any or all of the series of related expiration dates of the warrants, Cardtronics plc would be required to issue additional shares to the warrant holders. The amounts allocated to both the note hedge and warrants were recorded in the Shareholders’ equity section in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

$300.0 million 5.50% Senior Notes Due 2025

On April 4, 2017, in a private placement offering, Cardtronics Inc. and Cardtronics USA, Inc. (the “2025 Notes Issuers”) issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes pursuant to an indenture dated April 4, 2017 (the “2025 Notes Indenture”) among the 2025 Notes Issuers, Cardtronics plc, and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors (each, a “2025 Notes Guarantor”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.

Interest on the 2025 Notes accrues from April 4, 2017, the date of issuance, at the rate of 5.50% per annum. Interest on the 2025 Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on May 1st and November 1st of each year with the initial payment having commenced on November 1, 2017. 

The 2025 Notes and the related guarantees (the “2025 Guarantees”) are the general unsecured senior obligations of each of the 2025 Notes Issuers and the 2025 Notes Guarantors, respectively, and rank: (i) equally in right of payment with all of the 2025 Notes Issuers’ and the 2025 Notes Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness and (ii) senior in right of payment to all of the 2025 Notes Issuers’ and the 2025 Notes Guarantors’ future subordinated indebtedness. The 2025 Notes and the 2025 Guarantees are effectively subordinated to any of the 2025 Notes Issuers’ and the 2025 Notes Guarantors’ existing and

21

Table of Contents

future secured debt to the extent of the collateral securing such debt, including all borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The 2025 Notes are structurally subordinated to all third-party liabilities of any of Cardtronics plc’s subsidiaries (excluding the 2025 Notes Issuers) that do not guarantee the 2025 Notes.

The 2025 Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit the 2025 Notes Issuers’ ability and the ability of Cardtronics plc and certain of its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, make certain investments, or pay dividends or distributions on Cardtronics plc’s common shares or repurchase common shares or make certain other restricted payments, consolidate or merge with or into other companies, conduct asset sales, restrict dividends or other payments by restricted subsidiaries, engage in transactions with affiliates or related persons, and create liens.

Obligations under the 2025 Notes are fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Cardtronics plc and certain of its subsidiaries and certain of its future subsidiaries, with the exception of Cardtronics plc’s immaterial subsidiaries and CFC Guarantors. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of Cardtronics plc to obtain funds from Cardtronics Inc., Cardtronics USA, Inc., or the other 2025 Notes Guarantors by dividend or loan. None of the 2025 Notes Guarantors’ assets represent restricted assets pursuant to Rule 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X.

The 2025 Notes are subject to certain automatic customary releases with respect to the 2025 Notes Guarantors (other than Cardtronics plc, Cardtronics Holdings Limited, and CATM Holdings LLC), including the sale, disposition, or transfer of the common shares or substantially all of the assets of such 2025 Notes Guarantor, designation of such 2025 Notes Guarantor as unrestricted in accordance with the 2025 Notes Indenture, exercise of the legal defeasance option or the covenant defeasance option, liquidation, or dissolution of such 2025 Notes Guarantor. The 2025 Notes Guarantors, including Cardtronics plc, may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their properties or assets to, or consolidate with or merge into, another company if such a sale would cause a default under the 2025 Notes Indenture and certain other specified requirements under the 2025 Notes Indenture are not satisfied.

(10) Asset Retirement Obligations 

Asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) consist of costs to deinstall the Company’s ATMs and restore the ATM sites to their original condition. These costs to deinstall are estimated based on current market rates. In most cases, the Company is contractually required to perform the deinstallation of company-owned ATMs, and in some cases, site restoration work. For each group of similar ATM placements, the Company estimates the fair value of the future ARO based on the discounted estimated future cash flows and recognizes the amount as a liability in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company capitalizes the initial estimated fair value of the future ARO as part of the cost basis of the related assets and depreciates the ARO assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which are based on the average time period that an ATM is installed in a location before being deinstalled. The ARO liabilities, which are recognized at discounted amounts, are accreted to their estimated future value over the same period of time.

The changes in the Company’s ARO liability consisted of the following:

	March 31, 2020
	(In thousands)
Asset retirement obligations at December 31, 2019	$	61,194

(11) Leases 

The Company leases facilities consisting of office and warehouse space as well as vehicles and office equipment. The Company's facility leases have various remaining terms extending up to 12 years, some of which may include one or more options to extend the associated lease term by up to 5-10 years, and some may include options for the Company or the lessor to terminate the leases prior to the end of the lease term. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's discretion. From time to time, the Company may sublease office or warehouse space. This sublease activity is currently not significant. The Company's vehicle and office equipment leases currently have remaining lease terms extending up to 5 years and these leases typically have original terms of approximately 4-6 years. The Company has not historically extended its vehicle and office equipment leases beyond their original term. Similarly, the Company has not historically subleased these assets.

In addition, certain ATM placement agreements are deemed to contain an operating lease of merchant space under the Lease Standard. These ATM placement agreements have remaining terms extending from less than 1 year to more than 5 years. These arrangements consist of semi-permanent or through-the-wall placements of company-owned ATMs at merchant or financial institution locations. These arrangements are deemed to contain a lease as the counterparty lacks the practical ability to substitute alternative space. The renewal provisions under ATM placement agreements vary.

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

The Company recognizes the accounting impact of lease extension options when reasonably certain that a right to extend a lease will be exercised. The Company does not provide residual value guarantees within or in conjunction with any of its leases. As of March 31, 2020, all material leases of facilities, vehicles, office equipment, and merchant space had commenced.

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

(13) Derivative Financial Instruments 

Risk Management Objectives of Using Derivatives Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk associated with its vault cash rental obligations and borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Company uses varying notional amount interest rate swap contracts and interest rate cap agreements (“Interest Rate Derivatives”) to manage the interest rate risk associated with its vault cash rental obligations in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia. The Company also uses interest rate swap contracts to mitigate its exposure to floating interest rates on its anticipated revolving credit facility borrowings.

The majority of the Company’s Interest Rate Derivatives serve to mitigate interest rate risk exposure by converting a portion of the Company’s monthly floating-rate vault cash rental payments to either monthly fixed-rate vault cash rental payments or to vault cash rental payments with a capped rate. Typically, the Company receives monthly floating-rate payments from its Interest Rate Derivative counterparties that correspond to, in all material respects, the monthly floating-rate payments required by the Company to its vault cash rental providers for the portion of the average outstanding vault cash balances that have been hedged. The floating-rate payments may or may not be capped or limited. In return, the Company pays its counterparties a monthly fixed-rate amount based on the same notional amounts outstanding. By converting the vault cash rental and revolving credit facility obligations from floating-rate to a fixed or a capped rate, the impact of favorable and unfavorable changes in future interest rates on the monthly vault cash rental payments recognized in the Cost of ATM operating revenues line in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations has been reduced.

Risk Management Objectives of Using Derivatives - Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The Company is also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to its operations outside the U.S. The Company has at times used foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate its foreign exchange rate risk associated with certain anticipated transactions. The Company regularly designates its foreign currency derivatives as cash flow hedges, however, the Company is not presently party to any foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. As noted below, the Company is party to certain foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedges at March 31,2020.

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

Undesignated Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

On October 14, 2019, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $150 million and a fixed rate of 1.267 U.S. dollar to 1 U.K. pounds sterling. These forward contracts allow for settlement between November 2, 2020 and December 1, 2020. Although not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, these forward contracts are associated with the anticipated conversion of U.K. pounds sterling to U.S. dollars to partially fund the repayment of the Company's 1.00% Convertible Notes and serve to mitigate currency fluctuation risk.

Derivative Accounting Policy

The Interest Rate Derivatives discussed above are used by the Company to hedge exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributable to a particular risk; therefore, they are designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments. The Company does not currently hold any interest rate derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges.

As discussed above, the Company generally utilizes fixed-for-floating Interest Rate Derivatives where the underlying pricing terms of the cash flow hedging instrument agree, in all material respects, with the pricing terms of the anticipated vault cash rental obligations or anticipated Credit Agreement borrowings. Therefore, the amount of ineffectiveness associated with the Interest Rate Derivatives has historically been immaterial. If the Company concludes 1) that the obligations that have been hedged are no longer probable or 2) that the underlying terms of the agreements have changed such that they do not sufficiently agree to the pricing terms of the Interest Rate Derivatives, the Interest Rate Derivative contracts would be deemed ineffective. The Company does not currently anticipate terminating or modifying terms of its existing derivative instruments prior to their expiration dates.

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

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company reports the gain or loss related to each highly effective cash flow hedging instrument, including any ineffectiveness, as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassifies the gain or loss into earnings within the Cost of ATM operating revenues, Interest expense, net, or Other income lines of the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects and has been forecasted in earnings. The classification of the gain or loss is determined based on the associated hedge designation.

(14) Fair Value Measurements 

The following tables provide the financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 using the fair value hierarchy prescribed by U.S. GAAP. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 refers to fair values determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 refers to fair values estimated using significant non-observable inputs. An asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Below are descriptions of the Company’s valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The methods described below may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, prepaid expenses, deferred costs, and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities. These financial instruments are not carried at fair value, but are carried at amounts that approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk.

Acquisition related intangible assets. The estimated fair values of acquisition related intangible assets are valued based on a discounted cash flows analysis using significant non-observable (Level 3) inputs. Intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. An assessment of non-amortized intangible assets is performed on an annual basis or more frequently based on the occurrence of events that might indicate a potential impairment.

Acquisition related contingent consideration. Liabilities from acquisition-related contingent consideration are estimated using market observable inputs and other significant non-observable inputs, as well as projections based on the Company’s best estimate of future operational results upon which the payment of these obligations are contingent. The contingent consideration payment amounts are based upon a formula and performance relative to certain agreed-upon earnings targets for 2019 and 2020

to be paid in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Subsequent to the Spark acquisition, the Company has utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value and account for the interdependency between the 2019 and 2020 performance periods. However, effective December 31, 2019, at the end first measurement period, the Company revised its methodology and used a Black-Scholes based model to estimate the fair value of the payments. Future changes to the estimated contingent liability either higher or lower may occur as the estimated internal projections and other significant non-observable inputs for the calculation become available and are updated as deemed necessary. These future changes could result in a material change in the estimated contingent liability. The estimates and significant non-observable inputs may differ from actual results.

As of March 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Company’s acquisition related contingent consideration liability was approximately $9.5 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized mark-to-market gains of approximately $4.1 million to revise the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability and foreign exchange gains of approximately $3.3 million to remeasure the South African Rand denominated liability into U.S. Dollars. Both the revision to the estimated fair value and the net foreign exchange gains are included in the Other expenses (income) line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Long-term debt. The carrying amount of the long-term debt balance related to borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility approximates fair value due to the fact that any outstanding borrowings are subject to short-term floating interest rates. As of March 31, 2020, the fair values of the 2020 Notes and 2025 Notes were approximately $276.8 million and $282.3 million respectively, based on the quoted prices in markets that are not active (Level 2). For additional information related to long-term debt, see Note 9. Long-Term Debt.

Additions to asset retirement obligations liability. The Company estimates the fair value of additions to its ARO liability using expected discounted future cash flow at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Liabilities added to the ARO are measured at fair value at the time of the asset installations using significant non-observable (Level 3) inputs. These liabilities are evaluated periodically based on estimated current fair value. Amounts added to the ARO liability during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 totaled $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Interest rate derivatives. As of March 31, 2020, the recognized fair value of the Company’s Interest Rate Derivatives resulted in an asset of $2.6 million and a liability of $58.5 million. These financial instruments are carried at fair value and are valued using pricing models based on significant other observable inputs (Level 2), while taking into account the creditworthiness of the party that is in the liability position with respect to each trade. For additional information related to the valuation process of this asset or liability, see Note 13. Derivative Financial Instruments.

(15) Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company has provided reserves where necessary for contingent liabilities, based on ASC 450, contingencies, when it has determined that a liability is probable and reasonably estimable. The Company’s management does not expect the outcome in any legal proceedings or claims, individually or collectively, to have a material adverse financial or operational impact on the Company. Additionally, the Company currently expenses all legal costs as they are incurred.

Other Commitments

Asset retirement obligations. The Company’s ARO consist primarily of costs to deinstall the Company’s ATMs and to restore the ATM sites to their original condition. In most cases, the Company is contractually required to perform this deinstallation of its owned ATMs, and in some cases, site restoration work. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $58.8 accrued for these liabilities. For additional information, see Note 10. Asset Retirement Obligations .

Acquisition related contingent consideration. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $9.5 million accrued for the Spark acquisition related contingent consideration. For additional information related to the Spark acquisition related contingent consideration, see Note 14. Fair Value Measurements .

(16) Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax (benefit) expense based on income before income taxes for the periods presented was as follows:

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2020			2019
	(In thousands, excluding percentages)
Income tax (benefit) expense		$	(3,737)		$	3,129
Effective tax rate		(185.7)		%	42.0		%

The Company’s income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2020 totaled $3.7 million resulting in an effective tax rate of (185.7)%, compared to an expense of $3.1 million, and an effective tax rate of 42.0%, for the same period of 2019.

The decrease in the tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period of 2019, was primarily attributable to a non-recurring benefit in the current period from the carry back of net operating losses to prior tax years at the higher 35% U.S. tax rate, compared to the current tax rate of 21%, as a result of recent changes in U.S. tax law. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law in the U.S., which provided for an elective five-year carryback of net operating losses (NOLs) generated in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2021. As a result of this change in law and because the Company incurred net operating losses in 2018, the Company plans to carry back these losses to prior periods and expects to receive refunds of taxes paid at higher rates in earlier periods. Additionally, lower pretax profits in the current period compared to the prior year period contributed to the lower tax expense, partly offset by other factors.

The Company assesses the need for any deferred tax asset valuation allowances at the end of each reporting period. The determination of whether a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is needed is subject to considerable judgment and requires an evaluation of all available positive and negative evidence. The Company’s assessment concluded that maintaining valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in Australia, Canada, Mexico, and Spain was appropriate, as the Company currently believes that it is more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The deferred tax expenses and benefits associated with the Company’s net unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments and foreign currency translation adjustments have been recorded in the Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net line in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company currently believes that the unremitted earnings of certain of its subsidiaries will be reinvested for an indefinite period of time. Accordingly, no deferred taxes have been provided for the differences between the Company’s book basis and underlying tax basis in these subsidiaries or on the foreign currency translation adjustment amounts.

(17) Segment Information

As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s operations consisted of its North America, Europe & Africa, and Australia & New Zealand segments. The Company’s ATM operations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico are included in its North America segment. The North America segment also includes the Company’s transaction processing operations, which service its internal ATM operations, along with external customers. The Company’s ATM operations in the U.K., Ireland, Germany, Spain, and South Africa are included in its Europe & Africa segment, along with i-design (the Company’s ATM advertising business based in the U.K.). The Company’s Australia & New Zealand segment consists of its ATM operations in these two countries. Corporate primarily includes the Company’s corporate general and administrative expenses. While each of the reporting segments provides similar kiosk-based and/or ATM-related services, each segment is managed separately and requires different marketing and business strategies.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, together with U.S. GAAP measures, to manage and measure the performance of its segments. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure to more effectively evaluate the performance of the business and compare its results of operations from period to period without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or non-recurring costs as defined by the Company. Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and accretion, amortization of deferred financing costs and note discounts, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, certain other income and expense amounts, acquisition related expenses, gains or losses on disposal and impairment of assets, certain non-operating expenses, (if applicable in a particular period), the obligation for the payment of income taxes, interest expense, other obligations such as capital expenditures, and includes an adjustment for noncontrolling interests. Depreciation and accretion expense and amortization of intangible assets are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA as these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within the Company's industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, and the methods by which the assets were acquired.

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company, is a non-GAAP financial measure provided as a complement to the financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It may not be defined in the same manner by all companies and therefore may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. In evaluating the Company’s performance as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measurement. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities, or other income or cash flow measures contained within our consolidated financial statements.

The following table is a reconciliation of Net income attributable to controlling interests and available to common shareholders to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

(19) Concentration Risk

Significant merchant customers. During the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2020, the Company derived approximately 21% of its total revenues from ATMs placed at the locations of its top five merchant customers. The Company’s top five merchant customers, none accounting for more than 6% of total revenue for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2020, were Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc., Co-operative Food, CVS Caremark Corporation, Speedway LLC, and Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. Accordingly, a significant percentage of the Company’s future revenues and operating income will be dependent upon the successful continuation of its relationships with these merchants. As of March 31, 2020, the contracts we have with our five largest merchant customers have a weighted average remaining life of approximately 3.25 years.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

Overview

Cardtronics plc provides convenient automated consumer financial services through its network of automated teller machines and multi-function financial services kiosks (collectively referred to as “ATMs”). As of March 31, 2020, we were the world’s largest ATM owner/operator, providing services to over 285,000 ATMs. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, 68% of our total revenues were derived from operations in North America (including our ATM operations in the United States ("U.S."), Canada, and Mexico), 27% of our total revenues were derived from operations in Europe and Africa (including our ATM operations in the United Kingdom ("U.K."), Ireland, Germany, Spain, and South Africa), and 5% of our total revenues were derived from operations in Australia and New Zealand. Included in our network as of March 31, 2020, were approximately 198,000 ATMs to which we provided processing only services or various forms of managed services solutions. Under a managed services arrangement, retailers, financial institutions, and ATM distributors rely on us to handle some or all of the operational aspects associated with operating and maintaining ATMs, typically in exchange for a monthly service fee, fee per transaction, or fee per service provided.

Through our network, we deliver various ATM-based financial services to cardholders and provide ATM management and ATM equipment-related services (typically under multi-year contracts) to large retail merchants, smaller retailers, financial institutions, and operators of facilities such as shopping malls, casinos, airports, and train stations. In doing so, we provide our retail and financial institution partners with a compelling automated financial services solution that helps attract and retain customers, and in turn, increases the likelihood that our ATMs will be utilized. We also own and operate electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) transaction processing platforms that provide transaction processing services to our network of ATMs, as well as to other ATMs operated under managed services arrangements. Additionally, we provide processing services for issuers of debit cards.

We also own and operate the Allpoint network (“Allpoint”), the largest surcharge-free ATM network (based on the number of participating ATMs). Allpoint has over 55,000 participating ATMs and provides surcharge-free ATM access to nearly 1,200 participating credit unions, banks, digital banks, financial technology companies, and stored-value debit card issuers that are principally located in North America. For participants, Allpoint provides scale, density, and convenience of surcharge-free ATMs that surpasses the largest banks in the U.S. In exchange, Allpoint earns a fixed monthly fee per cardholder and/or a fixed fee per transaction that is paid by participants. Allpoint includes a majority of our Company owned ATMs in the U.S., and certain ATMs in the U.K., Canada, Mexico, and Australia. Allpoint also provides services to organizations that manage stored-value debit card programs on behalf of corporate entities and governmental agencies, including general-purpose, payroll, and electronic benefits transfer (“EBT”) cards. Under these programs, the issuing organizations pay us a fee per issued stored-value debit card or per transaction in return for allowing the users of those cards surcharge-free access to the Allpoint ATM network.

For additional information related to our operations and the manner in which we derive revenues, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”).

COVID-19 Update

On March 11, 2020, the respiratory virus commonly known as COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and by late March 2020, there were confirmed cases and deaths from COVID-19 in each of the countries in which we operate. Our primary focus has been and will remain on protecting the health and wellbeing of our employees and the communities in which we operate. We have implemented business continuity plans, with most of our employees working from home since March 16, without issue. Certain of our employees continue to perform cash delivery, maintenance and other technical services on site and at certain of our office and warehouse locations to ensure the continued operations of our ATMs.

National and local governments have generally deemed financial institutions, grocery stores, pharmacies and convenience stores as “critically essential” in providing their services to citizens during this global emergency. As a partner to these businesses in providing cash access to consumers, we have coordinated with our partners, where possible, to ensure continued and seamless operations of our ATMs. Certain locations, such as casinos, theme parks, malls, tourist-focused ATMs, education and other ATM sites have been closed. At the end of April 2020, closed ATMs, including but not limited to casinos, theme parks, malls, tourist-focused ATMs, and education locations, represented approximately 10% of our total Company owned ATM fleet.

After the announcement of the pandemic, we experienced decreases in transaction volumes of varying degrees across our network, depending on the location, and have seen and expect to continue to see transaction volume declines in the second quarter of 2020. The majority of our revenues are variable and are transaction volume dependent. These transaction declines are

42

Table of Contents

expected to result in lower second quarter 2020 revenues compared to the same period in 2019 and may continue to impact our results in future periods during 2020 and beyond.

In response to COVID-19, we have also implemented cost reductions and have taken action to manage expenses, reduce capital spending plans and have suspended our opportunistic share repurchase program to optimize cash flow during the current environment. We continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that could alter our business operations as may be required by national, federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and shareholders. In spite of the transaction declines, which we expect may continue for several additional months during 2020, we anticipate generating positive free cash flows after considering our required capital expenditures. While we are unable to determine or predict the nature, duration or scope of the overall impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to manage our business operations through extended periods of transaction and revenue declines caused by the pandemic. See Part II, Item 1A - “Risk Factors” - “We are subject to business cycles, seasonality, and other outside factors such as extreme weather, natural disasters or health emergencies, including the recent outbreak of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic that has adversely impacted our business, and that may in the future have a material adverse impact on our business.”

Other Recent Trends and Events

Withdrawal transaction and revenue trends - Our two largest markets are the U.S. and U.K., and on a combined basis, these markets represent nearly 80% of our revenues. Our U.S. same-store cash withdrawal transactions decreased approximately 0.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2020 when compared to same period in 2019. Our U.K. same-store cash withdrawal transactions decreased approximately 11% during the three months ended March 31, 2020 when compared to same period in 2019. In both cases, and in each of our other jurisdictions, same-store transaction results have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in mid-March 2020.

Following the momentum we experienced in the latter part of 2019, we saw a strong start to the beginning of 2020. In the U.S., our same-store withdrawal transactions were up 6% through mid-March. The impact of COVID-19, and the subsequent shelter in place orders, began to impact transaction volumes starting in the second week of March, with same-store transaction volumes decreasing approximately 30-35% year-over-year. These transaction declines appear to have stabilized, and during the month of April, we have seen withdrawal transaction volumes improving, correlated with higher unemployment benefits and the government stimulus programs. U.S. same-store transaction volumes in the last two weeks in April were down approximately 20% year-over-year. In the U.K., during the last week of March through the first week of April, we saw same-store withdrawal transaction volumes decrease approximately 60-65% year-over-year, consistent with overall market volume. These withdrawal transaction declines also appear to have stabilized to a degree, with same-store, year-over-year decreases of approximately 55% experienced during the last three weeks of April. We expect these overall trends to continue to improve as governments begin to ease shelter in place restrictions.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

ATM operating revenues. ATM operating revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2020, decreased $10.7 million, or 3.6%, compared to the same period of 2019. The decrease was in part due to foreign currency exchange rate movements impacting the results of our Europe & Africa and Australia & New Zealand segments. Absent the foreign currency exchange rate movements, ATM operating revenues would have decreased $7.2 million or 2.4% primarily as a result of lower transaction volumes related to the impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease was partially offset by growth in bank-branding and surcharge-free network revenues and higher managed services and transaction processing revenues in North America.

North America. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, ATM operating revenues in our North America segment increased $2.2 million, or 1.1%, compared to the same period of 2019. This increase was attributable to growth in bank-branding and surcharge-free network revenues, and higher managed services and transaction processing revenues. The increase was partially offset by lower surcharge and interchange revenues resulting from fewer transactions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Europe & Africa. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, ATM operating revenues in our Europe & Africa segment decreased $8.7 million, or 9.8%, compared to the same period of 2019. Absent the foreign currency exchange rate movements, our ATM operating revenues would have decreased by $7.0 million, or 7.9%, primarily as a result of lower ATM operating revenues in the U.K. resulting from lower transaction volumes due to the COVID-19 impact and the removal of ATMs in response to the two 5% decreases in the LINK interchange rate in the U.K. that came into effect on July 1, 2018 and January 1, 2019. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in the number of transacting ATMs and the associated transaction activity in South Africa.

Australia & New Zealand. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, ATM operating revenues in our Australia & New Zealand segment decreased $5.5 million, or 21.3%, compared to the same period of 2019. Approximately $1.6 million, or 28%, of this decline was a result of foreign currency exchange rate movements with the remainder due to a reduction in the number of transacting ATMs and fewer transactions per ATM due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

ATM product sales and other revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, ATM product sales and other revenues decreased 5.9% compared to the same period of 2019. The decrease was primarily related to lower equipment sales in the U.S. and lower ATM servicing fees in the U.S. and U.K.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets). Cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangibles assets) during the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased $12.5 million, or 6.1%, compared to the same period of 2019. Absent the foreign currency exchange rate movements, our Cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangibles assets) decreased $10.1 million, or 4.9%. This is generally consistent with the decline in revenues and the reduced cost of operations related to our restructuring activities.

Europe & Africa. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, our cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangibles assets) in our Europe & Africa segment decreased by $10.8 million, or 17.2%, compared to the same period of 2019. Excluding foreign currency exchange rate movements, our cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets) decreased $9.7 million or 15.5%. This decline is directionally consistent with the decline in ATM operating revenue with reduced transaction volumes impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the reduced costs that resulted from the closure of certain cash management facilities as part of our restructuring activities.

Australia & New Zealand. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, our cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangibles assets) in our Australia & New Zealand segment decreased $4.9 million, or 25.8%, compared to the same period of 2019. Excluding foreign currency exchange rate movements, our cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets) decreased $3.8 million or 20.0%. This decline is directionally consistent with the decline in ATM operating revenue with fewer ATMs and lower transaction volumes.

Cost of ATM product sales and other revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, our cost of ATM product sales and other revenues increased 1.1% from the same period of 2019 due to the mix of products and services sold during the periods.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”), excluding share-based compensation expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, SG&A expenses, excluding share-based compensation expense, decreased $1.7 million, or 4.3%, compared to the same period of 2019. This decrease is primarily a result of lower employee compensation costs, driven by lower incentive compensation, and lower facilities related costs.

Share-based compensation expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, share-based compensation expense increased $0.4 million, compared to the same period of 2019. This increase is a result of the amount, timing and terms of share-based payment awards granted during the periods, net of estimated forfeitures. For additional information related to share-based compensation expense, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 4. Share-based Compensation.

Restructuring Expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we continued certain corporate reorganization and cost reduction initiatives that began in 2019. We incurred $1.2 million of pre-tax expenses related to this activity that primarily included facility closures, workforce reductions, professional fees and other related charges.

Other expenses (income)

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized a gain of $4.1 million in Other expenses (income) to revise the estimated fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration liability. This gain was entirely offset by foreign currency translation losses and other non-operating costs totaling $7.9 million. For additional information on the acquisition related contingent consideration, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 14. Fair Value Measurements.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

		Three Months Ended March 31,

Income tax expense		$	(3,737)		$	3,129		(219.4)	%
Effective tax rate		(185.7)		%	42.0		%

Income tax expense. Our income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2020, totaled $3.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (185.7)%, compared to an expense of $3.1 million, and an effective tax rate of 42.0%, for the same period of 2019. The decrease in the tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period of 2019, was primarily attributable to a non-recurring benefit in the current period from the carry back of net operating losses to prior tax years at the higher 35% U.S. tax rate, compared to the current tax rate of 21%, as a result of recent changes in U.S. tax law. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law in the U.S., which provided for an elective five-year carryback of net operating losses (NOLs) generated in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2021. As a result of this change in law and because the Company incurred net operating losses in 2018, the Company plans to carry back these losses to prior periods and expects to receive refunds of taxes paid at higher rates in earlier periods. Additionally, lower pretax profits in the current period compared to the prior year period contributed to the lower tax expense, partly offset by other factors.

Factors Impacting Comparability Between Periods

Foreign currency exchange rates. Our reported financial results are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We estimate that the year-over-year fluctuation of the currencies in the markets in which we operate relative to the U.S. dollar caused our reported total revenues to be lower by approximately $3.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Please see the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for discussion of developing trends and recent events with relevance to the business.

Long-Term Strategic Outlook

Over the past several years, we have expanded our operations and the capabilities and service offerings of our ATMs through strategic acquisitions and investments, continued to deploy ATMs in high-traffic locations under contracts with well-known retailers, and expanded through the growth of Allpoint, our surcharge-free ATM network and our bank-branding programs. We have recently seen increased demand from financial institutions of all sizes as they evaluate their physical banking services and branch strategies. We have also expanded our ATM capabilities and service offerings to financial institutions, as we are seeing increasing interest from financial institutions for the outsourcing of ATM-related services due to our cost efficiency advantages and higher service levels.

We will continue to expand our ATM footprint organically and launch new products and services that will allow us to further leverage our existing ATM network. We believe our network can serve as the digital to physical gateway for financial institutions, digital-based businesses and consumers that need a way to enable cash-based transactions. We see opportunities to expand our operations through the following efforts:

•expanding our relationships with leading financial institutions;

•working with financial technology companies with a primary focus on the retail consumer finance business (or “Fintechs”) and card issuers to further leverage our extensive ATM network;

•increasing transaction levels at our existing locations;

•broadening transaction types at our physical access points enabled by mobile technology;

•increasing the number of deployed ATMs with existing and new merchant relationships;

•developing and providing additional services at our existing ATMs;

•pursuing additional managed services opportunities; and

•pursuing opportunities to expand into new international markets over time.

For additional information related to each of our strategic points above, see Part I. Item 1. Business - Our Strategy in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

DISCLOSURE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In order to assist readers of our consolidated financial statements in understanding the operating results that management uses to evaluate the business and for financial planning purposes, we present the following non-GAAP measures as a complement to financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per diluted share, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and certain other results presented on a constant-currency basis. We believe that the presentation of these measures and the identification of notable, non-cash, non-operating costs and/or (if applicable in a particular period) certain costs not anticipated to occur in future periods enhance an investor’s understanding of the underlying trends in our business and provide for better comparability between periods in different years. We also believe that these measures are relevant and provide useful information widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in our industry to provide a baseline for evaluating and comparing our operating performance and, in the case of free cash flow, our liquidity results. We use these non-GAAP financial measures in managing and measuring the performance of our business, including setting and measuring incentive based compensation for management.

Furthermore, the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities, or other income or cash flow measures contained within our consolidated financial statements. The non-GAAP measures that we use are not defined in the same manner by all companies and therefore may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Table of Contents

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

EBITDA adds interest, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and accretion, amortization of deferred financing costs and note discounts, and amortization of intangible assets, and certain costs not anticipated to occur in future periods to net income. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin exclude the items excluded from EBITDA as well as share-based compensation expense, certain other income and expense amounts, acquisition related expenses, gains or losses on disposal and impairment of assets, certain non-operating expenses, (if applicable in a particular period), our obligation for the payment of income taxes, interest expense and other obligations such as capital expenditures, and includes an adjustment for noncontrolling interests. Depreciation and accretion expense and amortization of intangible assets are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins as these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, and the methods by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share, and Adjusted Tax Rate

Adjusted Net Income represents net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, before amortization of intangible assets and deferred financing costs, gains or losses on disposal and impairment of assets, share-based compensation expense, certain other income and expense amounts, acquisition related expenses, certain non-operating expenses, and (if applicable in a particular period) certain costs not anticipated to occur in future periods (together, the “Adjustments”). The non-GAAP tax rate used to calculate Adjusted Net Income was approximately 23.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 24.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 respectively. The non-GAAP tax rates represent the GAAP tax rate for the period as adjusted by the estimated tax impact of the items adjusted from the measure. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less the impact of changes in restricted cash due to the timing of payments of restricted cash liabilities and less payments for capital expenditures, including those financed through direct debt, but excluding acquisitions. The Adjusted Free Cash Flow measure does not take into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash requirements such as mandatory principal payments on portions of our long-term debt.

Constant Currency

Management calculates certain GAAP as well as non-GAAP measures on a constant-currency basis using the average foreign currency exchange rates applicable in the corresponding period of the previous year and applying these rates to the measures in the current reporting period to assess performance and eliminate the effect foreign currency exchange rates have on comparability between periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of March 31, 2020, we had $613.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1,322.2 million of current and long-term debt. Our convertible Notes with a face value of $287.5 million are due December 2020 and are presented net of unamortized discount and capitalized debt issuance costs of $8.6 million in the Current portion of long-term debt line of the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2020.

We have historically funded our business with cash flows from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and the issuance of debt and equity securities. We have generally used a portion of our cash flows to invest in additional ATMs, either through acquisitions or through organic growth. We have also used cash to pay interest and principal amounts outstanding under our borrowings. As we collect a sizable portion of our sales on a daily basis but generally pay our vendors on 30 day terms and are not required to pay certain of our merchants until 20 days after the end of each calendar month, we have historically utilized the excess available cash flow to reduce borrowings made under our revolving credit facility reported as long term debt and to fund capital expenditures. Accordingly, it is not uncommon for us to reflect a working capital deficit position in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

To preserve our liquidity, as previously announced, we suspended our share buy back program. In anticipation of the maturity of our Convertible Notes due on December 1, 2020, as a precautionary measure given the economic uncertainty caused by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020, we drew all of the borrowing capacity under our credit facility, resulting in our holding $613.7 million in cash as of March 31, 2020. In spite of recent decreases in transactions and revenues, along with expected further adverse impacts to our business caused by the pandemic, we believe we will be able to generate positive free cash flows (operating cash flows, adjusted for settlement activities, less capital expenditures) for the remainder of 2020. We believe that our cash on hand will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements and contractual commitments for the next twelve months and we expect to fund our working capital needs with cash on hand and cash flows from our operations.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $21.8 million during the same period of 2019. Excluding changes in restricted cash during the periods due to the timing of settlements, our cash flows from operating activities were down $8.7 million. This decrease is primarily due to payments in the ordinary course of business and timing of payments relative to the same period of the prior year.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $18.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $29.3 million during the same period of 2019. The change in net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 relative to the prior year was a result of lower capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $565.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to cash used in financing activities of $25.3 million during the same period of 2019. As discussed above, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, we borrowed $587.1 million under our revolving credit agreement in anticipation of the maturity of our Convertible Notes due on December 1, 2020 and for additional liquidity given the economic uncertainty caused by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. During the period, we also used $16.9 million to repurchase 505,699 Class A ordinary shares. We may from time to time seek to repurchase our outstanding debt and / or equity securities in privately negotiated transactions and / or otherwise. See Part II, Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds below for additional detail on the Class A ordinary shares purchased and remaining authorization under our repurchase program.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make numerous estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions, thus impacting our results of operations and financial position. For discussion of the critical accounting policies and estimates that are most important to the depiction of our financial condition and results of operations see Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Goodwill

Following the goodwill impairment recognized by the Company in 2019, the Canada reporting unit continues to be at risk of failing a quantitative impairment test. In 2019, the Canada reporting unit’s carrying value was impaired and reduced to fair value. The fair value of the Canada reporting unit continues to approximate its carrying value. Furthermore, as indicated in Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 7. Intangible Assets, we identified the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as an impairment indicator and performed an additional quantitative impairment test of the Canada reporting unit as of March 31, 2020. Based on this quantitative test, the fair value of the reporting unit marginally exceeded its carrying value, and no additional goodwill impairment was recognized. The Canada reporting unit's goodwill was approximately $95.6 million as of March 31, 2020. To the extent that we are unable to meet our forecasts in the future or to the extent that the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are protracted, further goodwill impairment charges are possible relative to the Company’s Canada reporting unit. Additionally, based on our qualitative assessment, the fair value of the Company’s other reporting units exceeded their carrying value; however, protracted impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in goodwill impairment charges to those reporting units.

New Accounting Pronouncements

For information related to accounting pronouncements not yet adopted during 2020 see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The following market risk disclosures should be read in conjunction with the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk contained in our 2019 Form 10-K.

We are exposed to certain risks related to our ongoing business operations, including interest rate risk associated with our vault cash rental obligations and, to a lesser extent, borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The following quantitative and qualitative information is provided about financial instruments to which we were a party at March 31, 2020 and from which we may incur future gains or losses as a result of changes in market interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates. We do not enter into derivative or other financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Hypothetical changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates chosen for the following estimated sensitivity analysis are considered to be reasonably possible near-term changes generally based on consideration of past fluctuations for each risk category. However, since it is not possible to accurately predict future changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, these hypothetical changes may not necessarily be an indicator of probable future fluctuations.

Interest Rate Risk

Vault cash rental expense. As our ATM vault cash rental expense is based on market rates of interest, it is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates in the respective countries in which we operate. We pay a monthly fee on the average outstanding vault cash balances in our ATMs under floating rate formulas based on a spread above various interbank offered rates in the U.S., the U.K., Germany, and Spain. In Australia, the formula is based on the Bank Bill Swap Rates (“BBSY”), in South Africa, the rate is based on the South African Prime Lending rate and the Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate, in Canada, the rate is based on the Bank of Canada’s Bankers' Acceptance Rate and the Canadian Prime Rate, and in Mexico, the rate is based on the Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate (commonly referred to as the “TIIE”).

As a result of the significant sensitivity to interest rates related to our vault cash rental expense, we have entered into a number of interest rate swap contracts and caps with varying notional amounts and fixed interest rates in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia to manage the rate we pay on the amounts of our current and anticipated outstanding vault cash balances.

The notional amounts, weighted average fixed rates, and terms associated with our interest rate swap contracts and cap agreements that are currently in place in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia (as of the date of the issuance of this Form 10-Q) are as follows:

Summary of Interest Rate Exposure on Average Outstanding Vault Cash

The following table presents a hypothetical sensitivity analysis of our annual vault cash rental expense in North America based on our average outstanding vault cash balance and interest rate derivatives for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and assuming a 100 basis point increase in interest rates (in millions):

North America
Average outstanding vault cash balance	$	1,901
Interest rate swap contracts fixed notional amount	(1,393)
Residual unhedged outstanding vault cash balance	$	508
Additional annual interest incurred on 100 basis point increase	$	5.08

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

The following table presents a hypothetical sensitivity analysis of our annual vault cash rental expense in Europe & Africa based on our average outstanding vault cash balance for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and assuming a 100 basis point increase in interest rates (in millions):

Europe & Africa
Average outstanding vault cash balance	$	1,041
Interest rate swap contracts fixed notional amount	(640)
Residual unhedged outstanding vault cash balance	$	401
Additional annual interest incurred on 100 basis point increase	$	4.01

The following table presents a hypothetical sensitivity analysis of our annual vault cash rental expense in Australia based on our average outstanding vault cash balance for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and assuming a 100 basis point increase in interest rates (in millions):

Australia
Average outstanding vault cash balance	$	262
Interest rate swap contracts fixed notional amount	(92)
Residual unhedged outstanding vault cash balance	$	170
Additional annual interest incurred on 100 basis point increase	$	1.70

As of March 31, 2020, we had an asset of $2.6 million and a liability of $58.5 million recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, which represented the fair value asset or liability, respectively, of the interest rate swap, cap and foreign currency forward contracts, as derivative instruments are required to be carried at fair value. The fair value estimate was calculated as the present value of amounts estimated to be received or paid to a marketplace participant in a selling transaction. These derivative contracts are valued using pricing models based on significant other observable inputs (Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy prescribed by U.S. GAAP). For each highly effective hedging relationship, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of the Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net line in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The gain or loss is reclassified into earnings in the Vault cash rental expense line in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and has been forecasted into earnings.

Outlook. Although we currently hedge a substantial portion of our vault cash interest rate risk in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia, we may not be able to enter into similar arrangements for similar amounts in the future, and any significant increase in interest rates in the future could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of

operations by increasing our operating expenses. However, we expect that the impact on our consolidated financial statements from a significant increase in interest rates would be partially mitigated by the derivative instruments that we currently have in place associated with our vault cash balances in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia and other protective measures we have put in place to mitigate such risk.

Interest expense. Our interest expense is also sensitive to changes in interest rates as borrowings under our revolving credit facility accrue interest at floating rates. In September 2019, we entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) increasing the available borrowings under our revolving credit facility to $750 million. As of March 31, 2020, outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which carries a floating interest rate, were $746.6 million, the majority of which is denominated in U.S dollars and U.K. pounds sterling. To mitigate the interest rate risk associated with these borrowings, we entered into interest rate swap contracts to effectively fix the interest rate on a portion of the expected outstanding borrowings in the U.K. For information related to our financing facilities, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 9. Long-Term Debt.

Outstanding Interest Rate Derivatives Associated with Revolving Credit Facility Borrowings

Notional Amounts U.K. £		Weighted Average Fixed Rate		Term
(In millions)
£	50	0.95	%	April 1, 2020 – December 31, 2020
£	100	0.64	%	January 4, 2021 – December 31, 2021

Transition from LIBOR. We are currently evaluating the impact of the transition from LIBOR as an interest rate benchmark to other potential alternative reference rates. Currently we have several debt and derivative instruments that reference LIBOR-based rates. The transition from LIBOR is expected to take place in 2021, and we will continue to assess the impact of this transition. For additional information related to the transition from LIBOR, see Part 1, Item 1A. Risk Factors - Changes in interest rates could increase our operating costs by increasing interest expense under our credit facilities and our vault cash rental costs - in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

As a result of our operations in the U.K., Australia, Canada, Germany, South Africa, Mexico, Spain, Ireland, and New Zealand, we are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The functional currencies of our international subsidiaries are their respective local currencies. The results of operations of our international subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using average foreign currency exchange rates in effect during the periods in which those results are recorded and the assets and liabilities are translated using the foreign currency exchange rate in effect as of each balance sheet reporting date. These resulting translation adjustments to assets and liabilities have been reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2020, this accumulated translation loss totaled $78.8 million compared to $59.0 million as of December 31, 2019.

Our consolidated financial results were impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year. Our total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2020 would have been higher by approximately $3.7 million had the foreign currency exchange rates from the three months ended March 31, 2020 remained unchanged from the prior year. A sensitivity analysis indicates that, if the U.S. dollar uniformly strengthened or weakened 10% against the British pound, Euro, Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, or South African rand, the effect upon our operating income would have been approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Certain intercompany balances are designated as short-term in nature. The changes in these balances related to foreign currency exchange rates have been recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk as it relates to these intercompany balances.

We do not hold derivative commodity instruments and all of our cash and cash equivalents are held in money market and checking funds.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Quarterly Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2020 at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In conjunction with the evaluation described above, there have been no changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The disclosure responsive to this Item related to our material pending legal and regulatory proceedings and settlements, is incorporated by reference herein from Part I. Financial Information, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies – Legal Matters.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks discussed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“2019 Form 10-K”) and other information included and incorporated by reference in this report. These risks could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. There have been no material changes in our assessment of our risk factors from those set forth in our 2019 Form 10-K, except with respect to the risk factor described below.

We are subject to business cycles, seasonality, and other outside factors such as extreme weather, natural disasters or health emergencies, including the recent outbreak of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic that has adversely impacted our business, and that may in the future have a material adverse impact on our business.

Many of our ATMs are located in convenience stores, gas stations, malls, grocery stores, drug stores, airports, train stations, and other large retailers and are utilized by consumers that frequent them. As such, transaction volumes at our ATMs located in regions affected by strong winter weather patterns typically experience declines in volume during those months as a result of decreases in the amount of consumer traffic through such locations. With the majority of our ATMs located in the northern hemisphere, we expect to see slightly higher transactions in the warmer summer months from May through August, which are also aided by increased vacation and holiday travel. As a result of these seasonal variations, our quarterly operating results may fluctuate and could lead to volatility in the price of our shares. In addition, if a recessionary economic environment were to reduce traffic at our ATM locations, this could impact the level of transactions taking place on our networks and at our ATMs.

Natural or man-made disasters (including, hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes, fires, or acts of war or terror), uncharacteristic or significant weather conditions or real or potential health emergencies such as the widespread outbreak of contagious diseases, such as the COVID-19 could hinder travel, result in travel bans, government restrictions or quarantines. Any of these events could restrict or reduce traffic at our ATM locations, reduce the use or demand for cash or decrease demand for our services. In addition, any catastrophic events or significant business interruptions could reduce or impair our ability and that of our employees, to provide services and conduct operations and this may occur in a manner that cannot be mitigated by our disaster and business continuity planning or cause losses, which are not recoverable under our insurance policies. The impact of such events may have a range of lingering impacts on us, our employees, customers, our suppliers and the overall economy, adversely affecting our operations, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and share price even after the initial incident resolves.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared Coronavirus (or “COVID-19”) a global pandemic. In response, the national and local governments in which we operate have implemented various restrictions, including travel restrictions, border closings, restrictions on public gatherings, shelter-in-place restrictions, quarantines and limitations on business operations.

These events and the prevalence of the disease have adversely impacted the macroeconomic environment, consumer confidence, unemployment and other economic indicators that contribute to consumer spending behavior and demand for our services, as well as the Company and its employees, customers and suppliers. These events have also reduced foot traffic at our ATM locations and the usage of our ATMs across the regions in which we operate, resulting in fluctuations in our operating results, volatility in the price of our shares, reduction in transaction volumes and revenues associated with those volumes beginning at the end of March 2020. We expect that these impacts will continue through the second quarter of 2020, and may continue to impact our results in future periods during 2020 and beyond. We have implemented cost reductions and have taken action to manage expenses, reduce capital spending plans and have suspended our opportunistic share repurchase program to optimize cash flow during the current environment. We have also implemented business continuity plans, with most of our employees working from home since March 16, 2020 without issue. Certain of our employees continue to perform cash delivery, maintenance and other technical services on site and at certain of our office and warehouse locations to ensure the continued operations of our ATMs, and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or as we determine are in the best interests of our employees, partners and customers. For more information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results Operations.”

The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid and the potential for a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity increases the longer the virus impacts activity levels globally. For this reason, the Company cannot reasonably estimate with any degree of certainty the future impact COVID-19 may have on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and liquidity. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, or liquidity will depend on future developments, including the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business and workforce disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain and treat the disease. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
