OUTERWALL INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The unaudited consolidated financial information included herein has been prepared by Outerwall Inc., pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). On June 27, 2013, we changed our name to Outerwall Inc. The name change reflects the evolution of our company from a single coin-counting kiosk business into multiple automated retail businesses. The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Outerwall Inc. included herein reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The financial information as of December 31, 2012, is derived from our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Outerwall Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Investments in companies of which we may have significant influence, but not a controlling interest, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Current Year
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-2, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” ("ASU 2012-2"). ASU 2012-2 allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets. An organization that elects to perform a qualitative assessment no longer is required to perform the quantitative impairment test for an indefinite-lived intangible asset if it is not more likely than not that the asset is impaired. ASU 2012-2, which applies to all public, private, and not-for-profit organizations, is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Our adoption of ASU 2012-2 in the first quarter of 2013 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On February 5, 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-2, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” ("ASU 2013-2"). ASU 2013-2 was issued to address concerns raised in the initial issuance of ASU No. 2011-5, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, for which the Board deferred the effective date of certain provisions relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments in the income statement. With the issuance of ASU 2013-2 entities are now required to disclose:
For items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income in their entirety, the effect of the reclassification on each affected net income line item; and
For AOCI reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, a cross reference to other required disclosures under generally accepted accounting standards in the United States ("US GAAP").
This information may be provided either in the notes or parenthetically on the face of the statement that reports net income as long as all the information is disclosed in a single location. However, an entity is prohibited from providing this information parenthetically on the face of the statement that reports net income if it has items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income. For public entities, ASU 2013-2 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and interim periods within those years. Our adoption of ASU 2013-2 in the first quarter of 2013 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Content Library
Content library consists of movies and video games available for rent or purchase. We obtain our movie and video game content through revenue sharing agreements and license agreements with studios and game publishers, as well as through distributors and other suppliers. The cost of content mainly includes the cost of the movies and video games, labor, overhead, freight, and studio revenue sharing expenses. The content purchases are capitalized and amortized to their estimated salvage value as a component of direct operating expenses over the usage period. Content salvage values are estimated based on the amounts that we have historically recovered on disposal. For purchased content that we expect to sell at the end of its useful life, we determine an estimated salvage value. For licensed content that we do not expect to sell, no salvage value is provided. The useful lives and salvage value of our content library are periodically reviewed and evaluated. The amortization charges were derived utilizing rental curves based on historical performance of movies and games over their useful lives and recorded on an accelerated basis, reflecting higher rentals of movies and video games in the first few weeks after release, and substantially all of the amortization expense is recognized within one year of purchase.
In the second quarter of 2013, the Company completed a review of its content library amortization methodology and updated the methodology in order to add greater precision to product cost amortization. The previous method recognized accelerated amortization of content library costs at a rate faster than the decline in the content library's value due to the recognition of charges in addition to the normal rental curve amortization whenever individual discs were removed from kiosks, a process we define as "thinning". The Company's most recent analysis has shown that its amortization curves can reasonably capture the effect of thinning and therefore eliminates the need for additional charges at the time of thinning and provides a better correlation of costs to revenue. The modified approach to amortizing the cost of the content library is based on updated rental curves, which incorporate thinning estimates, and provides a more systematic method for recognizing the costs of movie and game titles. The Company anticipates that this new method will better align the recognition of costs with the related revenue.
The Company believes that the change in its content library amortization methodology, to be made on a prospective basis, is a change in accounting estimate that is effected by a change in accounting principle. The Company believes that the modified content library amortization methodology is preferable because it better reflects the pattern of consumption of the expected benefits of the content library. See Exhibit 18.1 for a copy of our auditor's preferability letter which we have included in this 10-Q.
The effect of this change resulted in a reduction of product costs, as reported in direct operating expenses, of approximately $21.7 million in the second quarter of 2013, with those costs shifted to primarily the third and fourth quarters and some into 2014. The change resulted in a corresponding increase to the balance of our content library. In addition, the change in amortization methodology is expected to shift product costs on titles purchased during the second half of 2013 into 2014 as amortization is less accelerated than under the prior method. Under the modified amortization methodology, substantially all of the amortization expense will continue to be recognized within one year of purchase. For the second quarter of 2013, the change resulted in a benefit to net income of $13.4 million or $0.49 in basic earnings per share and $0.47 in diluted earnings per share.
NOTE 3: ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Description of Business
We are a leading provider of automated retail solutions offering convenient products and services that benefit consumers and drive incremental retail traffic and revenue for retailers.
On June 27, 2013, our name change from Coinstar, Inc. to Outerwall Inc. was approved by stockholders. The name change reflects the evolution of our company from a single coin-counting kiosk business into multiple automated retail businesses. The name Outerwall was selected as an umbrella corporate brand that encompasses our current operations and provides a platform for future automated retail opportunities. As part of our name change, we have changed the name of our Coin business segment to the Coinstar business segment.
Our core offerings in automated retail include our Redbox and Coinstar segments. Our Redbox segment consists of self-service kiosks where consumers can rent or purchase movies and video games. Our Coinstar segment consists of self-service coin-counting kiosks where consumers can convert their coins to cash or stored value products. Our New Ventures segment is focused on identifying, evaluating, building, and developing innovative self-service concepts in the marketplace. Our kiosks are located primarily in supermarkets, drug stores, mass merchants, financial institutions, convenience stores, and restaurants. Our kiosk and location counts as of June 30, 2013, are as follows:

(1) As of June 30, 2013, no kiosks acquired from NCR remained in service. See Note 4: Business Combination for more information on the NCR Asset Acquisition.
NOTE 4: BUSINESS COMBINATION
On June 22, 2012, Redbox acquired certain assets of NCR Corporation (“NCR”) related to NCR’s self-service entertainment DVD kiosk business (the “NCR Asset Acquisition”). The purchased assets include, among others, self-service DVD kiosks, content library, intellectual property, and certain related contracts, including with certain retailers. In consideration, Redbox paid NCR $100.0 million in cash and assumed certain liabilities of NCR related to the purchased assets. The operating results of NCR’s self-service entertainment DVD kiosk business are included in our Redbox segment results.
We accounted for the NCR Asset Acquisition as a business combination. In accordance with US GAAP, the measurement period for our purchase price allocation ends as soon as information regarding our assessment of the quality and quantity of the kiosks acquired as well as certain facts and circumstances becomes available; such measurement period will not exceed twelve months from the acquisition date. During the second quarter of 2013, we obtained sufficient evidence regarding the quality and market value of the kiosks acquired (See Note 7: Property and Equipment for more information on the sale of certain NCR kiosks during the second quarter of 2013) to finalize our purchase price allocation. As a result, we retroactively adjusted our purchase price allocation to increase the value assigned to the kiosks acquired by $14.8 million with a corresponding decrease to goodwill to the period in which the NCR Asset Acquisition occurred. This adjustment to our purchase price allocation resulted in an immaterial difference in depreciation which we recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the second quarter of 2013.
The following table shows our preliminary purchase price allocation, adjustments we made during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and our final purchase price allocation based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the NCR Asset Acquisition date as follows:

NOTE 5: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash equivalents were $88.9 million and $60.4 million at June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively, consisting of money market demand accounts and investment grade fixed income securities such as money market funds, certificate of deposits, and commercial paper. Our cash balances with financial institutions may exceed the deposit insurance limits.
Included in our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, were $95.8 million and $91.8 million, respectively that we identified for settling our accrued payable to our retailer partners in relation to our Coinstar kiosks.
NOTE 6: SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS
As of June 30, 2013, we had $10.0 million of short-term investments, which consists of high credit quality, tax-exempt Variable Rate Demand Notes ("VRDNs"). VRDNs have a put option that allows them to be liquidated generally on a same day or a five business day settlement basis. All of the put options are secured by a pledged liquidity source and are backed by highly rated financial institutions.
We classify these short-term investments as available for sale. VRDNs have variable interest rates that reset at regular intervals. Because our VRDNs have short reset periods, their cost approximates fair value and there were no realized or unrealized gains or losses related to the securities.

During the first quarter of 2013, we began exploring strategic alternatives for our New Ventures refurbished electronics concept, Orango, and determined that certain assets related to this concept would be sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of their previously established useful lives. Our estimated fair value of these assets, less the cost to sell them, exceeded their carrying value by $3.2 million. We determined our estimate of fair value by applying a cash flow approach. As a result, during the first quarter of 2013, we recognized charges of $2.7 million in depreciation and other and $0.5 million in direct operating in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. We did not separately present the assets or liabilities of the concept as held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheets because the amounts are immaterial.
During the second quarter of 2013, we entered into an arrangement to sell certain kiosks previously acquired from NCR (the “NCR Kiosks”) through the sale of a previously consolidated entity which held certain of the NCR kiosks with a net book value of $12.4 million. Total proceeds from the sale of the entity were $11.8 million and are recorded within proceeds from sale of property and equipment within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As a result of this sale and certain reorganizations we recorded a one-time tax benefit as described in Note 17: Income Taxes.

NOTE 9: EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Redbox Instant by Verizon
In February 2012, Redbox and Verizon Ventures IV LLC (“Verizon”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Verizon Communications Inc., entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) and related arrangements. The LLC Agreement governs the relationship of the parties with respect to a joint venture, Redbox Instant by Verizon (the “Joint Venture”) formed for the primary purpose of developing, launching, marketing and operating a nationwide “over-the-top” video distribution service to provide consumers with access to video programming content, including linear content, delivered via broadband networks to video enabled viewing devices and offering rental of physical DVDs and Blu-ray discs from Redbox kiosks. Redbox initially acquired a 35.0% ownership interest in the Joint Venture and made an initial capital contribution of $14.0 million in cash in February 2012 subsequent to the formation of the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture board of managers may request each member to make additional capital contributions, on a pro rata basis relative to its respective ownership interest. If a member does not make any or all of its requested capital contributions, as the case may be, the other contributing member generally may make such capital contributions. So long as Redbox contributes its pro rata share of the first $450.0 million of capital contributions to the Joint Venture, Redbox’s interest cannot be diluted below 10.0%. During the first quarter of 2013, at the request of the Joint Venture board of managers, Redbox made a cash payment of $14.0 million representing its pro-rata share of the requested capital contribution.
In addition to the initial cash capital contribution, Redbox granted the Joint Venture a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free right and license to use certain Redbox trademarks, of which the estimated fair value was approximately $30.0 million based on an evaluation of information available as of the date of the grant. As a result, we recognized a gain of $19.5 million related to the pro-rata amount of fair value given up in exchange for our 35.0% interest in the Joint Venture. See Note 15: Fair Value for additional information about how we estimated the fair value of the Redbox trademarks. The initial excess of our cost of the investment in the Joint Venture over our share of the Joint Venture’s equity will be used to adjust future amortization expense.
We account for Redbox’s ownership interest in the Joint Venture using the equity method of accounting. During the first quarter of 2012, the transaction related costs of $4.4 million were recorded as a part of the equity investment in the Joint Venture. We recognized a loss of approximately $14.6 and $8.3 million from our equity method investment, representing our share of the Joint Venture’s operating results as well as the amortization of differences in carrying amount and underlying equity for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Separate from equity method accounting for our ownership interest in the Joint Venture, we record revenue attributable with the rental of DVDs and Blu-ray discs from our Redbox kiosks arising from Joint Venture subscribers within our Redbox segment.
Redbox has certain rights to cause Verizon to acquire Redbox’s interest in the Joint Venture at fair value (generally following the fifth anniversary of the LLC Agreement or in limited circumstances, at an earlier period of time) and Verizon has certain rights to acquire Redbox’s interest in the Joint Venture at fair value (generally following the seventh anniversary of the LLC Agreement, or, in limited circumstances, the fifth anniversary of the LLC Agreement).
Other Equity Method Investments
We make strategic equity investments in external companies that provide automated self-service kiosk solutions. Our equity method investments and ownership percentages as of June 30, 2013, were as follows:

Senior Unsecured Notes
On March 12, 2013, we and certain subsidiaries of ours, as subsidiary guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, pursuant to which we issued $350.0 million principal amount of 6.000% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”) at par for proceeds, net of expenses, of $343.8 million and the Subsidiary Guarantors would guarantee the Notes (the “Guarantees”). We will use the proceeds of this offering primarily toward Convertible Note repayment and other corporate purposes. The Notes and the Guarantees are general unsecured obligations and are effectively subordinated to all of our and Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the collateral securing that secured debt. In addition, the Notes will be effectively subordinated to all of the liabilities of our existing and future subsidiaries that are not guaranteeing the Notes. Interest on the Notes will be payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2013, with the Notes maturing on March 15, 2019.

16


We may redeem any of the Notes beginning on March 15, 2016, at a redemption price of 103% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (and additional interest, if any); then the redemption price for the Notes will be 101.5% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (and additional interest, if any) for the twelve-month period beginning March 15, 2017; and then the redemption price for the Notes will be 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest and unpaid interest (and additional interest, if any) beginning on March 15, 2018. We may also redeem some or all of the Notes before March 15, 2016, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest (and additional interest, if any), to the redemption date, plus an applicable “make-whole” premium. In addition, before March 15, 2016, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at 106% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (and additional interest, if any); the Company may make such redemption only if, after any such redemption, at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued remains outstanding.
Upon a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), we will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes or any portion thereof. That purchase price will equal 101% of the principal amount of the Notes on the date of purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest (and additional interest, if any). If we make certain asset sales and do not reinvest the proceeds or use such proceeds to repay certain debt, we will be required to use the proceeds of such asset sales to make an offer to purchase the Notes at 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the date of purchase.
The terms of the Notes restrict our ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; create liens; pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock; purchase or redeem capital stock; make investments or certain other restricted payments; sell assets; enter into transactions with stockholders or affiliates; or effect a consolidation or merger. However, these and other limitations set forth in the Indenture will be subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.
The Indenture provides for customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to grace and cure periods), among others: nonpayment of principal or interest or premium; breach of covenants or other agreements in the Indenture; defaults in failure to pay certain other indebtedness; the failure to pay certain final judgments; the invalidity of certain of the Subsidiary Guarantors’ Guarantees; and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. Generally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be immediately due and payable.
Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan
Our current credit facility, entered into on July 15, 2011, provides for a five-year, $175.0 million term loan and a $450.0 million revolving line of credit. Subject to additional commitments from lenders, we have the option to increase the aggregate facility size by $250.0 million, which can comprise additional term loans and a revolving line of credit.
The credit facility is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets and the assets of our domestic subsidiaries, as well as a pledge of a substantial portion of certain equity interests in our subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2013, there was no outstanding revolving line of credit borrowing and we were in compliance with the covenants of the credit facility.
On July 15, 2011, we borrowed $175.0 million under the term loan facility. The Credit Facility matures on July 15, 2016, at which time all outstanding borrowings must be repaid. The annual interest rate on the credit facility is variable, based on an index plus a margin determined by our consolidated net leverage ratio. In 2013, the applicable LIBOR Rate margin was fixed at 125 basis points and the applicable Base Rate margin was fixed at 25 basis points. The interest rate on amounts outstanding under the term loan at June 30, 2013, was 1.45%.
The term loan is subject to mandatory debt repayments of the outstanding borrowings. The schedule of future principal repayments is as follows:

Convertible Debt
The aggregate outstanding principal of our 4.0% Convertible Senior Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) is $53.7 million. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.0% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on each March 1 and September 1, and mature on September 1, 2014. The effective interest rate at issuance was 8.5%. As of June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants.
The Convertible Notes become convertible (the “Conversion Event”) when the closing price of our common stock exceeds $52.38, 130% of the Convertible Notes’ conversion price, for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days prior to each quarter-end date. If the Convertible Notes become convertible and should the holders elect to convert, we will be required to pay them up to the full face value of the Convertible Notes in cash as well as deliver shares of our common stock for any excess conversion value. The number of potentially issued shares increases as the market price of our common stock increases. As of June 30, 2013, such early conversion event was met. As a result, the Convertible Notes were classified as a current liability and the debt conversion feature was classified as temporary equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the six months ended June 30, 2013, we retired a combined 131,248 Convertible Notes or $131.2 million in face value of Convertible Notes, through open market purchases and the note holders electing to convert, for $169.6 million in cash and the issuance of 255,499 shares of common stock. The amount by which the total consideration including cash paid and value of the shares issued exceeds the fair value of the Notes is recorded as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. The loss from early extinguishment of these Convertible Notes was approximately $5.9 million and is recorded in interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Additional details of our Convertible Notes are as follows:

Restricted stock awards
Restricted stock awards are granted to eligible employees, including executives, and non-employee directors. Awards granted to employees and executives vest annually in equal installments over four years. Non-employee director awards vest one year after the grant date. Performance-based restricted stock awards are granted to executives only, with established performance criteria approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards of performance-based restricted stock made prior to 2013, once earned, vest in equal installments over three years from the date of grant. Awards of performance-based restricted stock made in 2013, once earned, vest in two installments over three years from the date of grant (65% of the award vests two years from the date of grant and the remaining 35% of the award vests three years from the date of grant). The restricted shares require no payment from the grantee. The fair value of performance-based awards is based on achieving specific performance conditions and is recognized over the vesting period. The fair value of non-performance-based awards is based on the market price on the grant date and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

NOTE 13: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. We consider restricted stock that provides the holder with a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends to be a participating security. Net income available to participating securities was not material for the periods presented.
Net income used for calculating basic and diluted EPS is the same for all periods presented. The following table sets forth the computation of shares used for the basic and diluted EPS calculations:

NOTE 14: BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND ENTERPRISE-WIDE INFORMATION
Management, including our chief operating decision maker, who is our CEO, evaluates the performances of our business segments primarily on segment revenue and segment operating income before depreciation, amortization and other, and share-based compensation granted to executives, non-employee directors and employees (“segment operating income”). Segment operating income contains internally allocated costs of our shared service support functions, including corporate executive management, business development, sales, finance, legal, human resources, information technology, and risk management. We also review depreciation and amortization allocated to each segment. Shared-based payments expense related to share-based compensation granted to executives, non-employee directors and employees is not allocated to our segments and is included in the corporate unallocated column in the analysis and reconciliation below; however, share-based payments expense related to our content arrangements with certain movie studios has been allocated to our Redbox segment and is included within direct operating expenses. Our performance evaluation does not include segment assets.
During the second quarter of 2012, we completed the NCR Asset Acquisition. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the results of operations, are included in our Redbox segment. See Note 4: Business Combination for additional information about the acquisition.
Our analysis and reconciliation of our segment information to the consolidated financial statements that follows covers our results of operations, which consists of our Redbox, Coinstar and New Ventures segments. Unallocated general and administrative expenses relate to share-based compensation.

NOTE 15: FAIR VALUE
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. To measure fair value, we use a three-tier valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
The factors or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Assets and Liabilities Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table presents our financial assets and (liabilities) that are measured and reported at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets on a recurring basis, by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Money Market Demand Accounts and Investment Grade Fixed Income Securities
We determine fair value for our money market demand accounts and investment grade fixed income securities based on quoted market prices. The fair value of these assets is included in cash and cash equivalents on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Short Term Investments
Our short term investments are composed of variable rate demand notes and are measured using Level 2 inputs for which quoted prices may not be available on active exchanges for identical instruments. Their fair value is principally based on market values determined by management with assistance of a third party pricing service. Since quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are not available, these prices are determined by the pricing service using observable market information such as quotes from less active markets and/or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, among other factors.
There were no changes to our valuation techniques in 2013.
Assets and Liabilities Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
We recognize or disclose the fair value of certain assets such as notes receivable and non-financial assets, primarily long-lived assets, goodwill, intangible assets and certain other assets in connection with impairment evaluations. All of our nonrecurring valuations use significant unobservable inputs and therefore fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Trademarks License
During the first quarter of 2012, Redbox granted the Joint Venture a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free right and license to use certain Redbox trademarks. We estimated the fair value of the trademarks to be approximately $30.0 million as of the date of grant based on the relief-from-royalty method. We estimated the preliminary fair value using the information available on the grant date, which consisted of the expected future discounted and tax-effected cash flows attributable to the projected gross revenue stream of the Joint Venture, estimated market royalty rates of approximately 1.5%, as well as a discount rate of approximately 45.0%, which reflected our view of the risks and uncertainties associated with an early development stage entity. See Note 9: Equity Method Investments and Related Party Transactions.
Notes Receivable
On June 9, 2011, we completed the sale transaction of the Money Transfer Business to Sigue Corporation (“Sigue”). We received $19.5 million in cash and a note receivable of $29.5 million (the “Sigue Note”). In December 2011, as part of the sale transaction, we were required to provide Sigue with an additional loan of $4.0 million under terms consistent with the Sigue Note. We estimated the fair value of the Sigue Note based on the future note payments discounted at a market rate for similar risk profile companies, approximately 18.0%, which reflected our best estimate of default risk, and was not an exit price based measure of fair value or the stated value on the face of the Sigue Note. We evaluate the Sigue Note for collectability on a quarterly basis. Based on our evaluation at June 30, 2013, an allowance for credit losses was not established. We recognized interest income on the Sigue Note on an accrual basis based on the imputed interest rate unless it is determined that collection of all principal and interest is unlikely. As of June 30, 2013, the carrying value of the Sigue Note of $26.6 million approximated its estimated fair value and was reported within notes receivable in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The carrying value of our term loan approximates its fair value and falls under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
We estimate the fair value of our convertible debt outstanding using a market rate of approximately 6.0% and 4.5% for similar high-yield debt at June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively. The estimated fair value of our convertible debt was approximately $52.8 million and $183.7 million at June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively, and was determined based on its stated terms, maturing on September 1, 2014, and an annual interest rate of 4.0%. The fair value estimate of our convertible debt falls under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We have reported the carrying value of our convertible debt, face value less the unamortized debt discount, in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

24


We estimated the fair value of our senior unsecured notes outstanding using a market rate of approximately 6.0% for similar high-yield debt at June 30, 2013. The estimated fair value of our senior unsecured notes was approximately $350.0 million at June 30, 2013, and was determined based on their stated terms, maturing on March 15, 2019, and an annual interest rate of 6.0%. The fair value estimate of our senior unsecured notes falls under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We have reported the carrying value of our senior unsecured notes, issued at par, in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
NOTE 16: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Purchase commitments
Pursuant to the manufacturing and services agreement entered into as part of the NCR Asset Acquisition, Outerwall, Redbox or an affiliate were committed to purchase goods and services from NCR for a period of five years from June 22, 2012. At the end of the five-year period, if the aggregate amount paid in margin to NCR for goods and services delivered were to equal less than $25.0 million, Outerwall was to pay NCR the difference between such aggregate amount and $25.0 million. As of June 30, 2013, our remaining commitment is $19.0 million under this arrangement.
Letters of Credit
As of June 30, 2013, we had six irrevocable standby letters of credit that totaled $7.6 million. These standby letters of credit, which expire at various times through 2014, are used to collateralize certain obligations to third parties. As of June 30, 2013, no amounts were outstanding under these standby letter of credit agreements.
Legal Matters
In October 2009, an Illinois resident, Laurie Piechur, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint against our Redbox subsidiary in the Circuit Court for the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, St. Clair County, Illinois. The plaintiff alleged that, among other things, Redbox charges consumers illegal and excessive late fees in violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, and that Redbox's rental terms violate the Illinois Rental Purchase Agreement Act or the Illinois Automatic Contract Renewal Act and the plaintiff is seeking monetary damages and other relief. In November 2009, Redbox removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois. In February 2010, the District Court remanded the case to the Circuit Court for the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, St. Clair County, Illinois. In May 2010, the court denied Redbox's motion to dismiss the plaintiff's complaint. In November 2011, the plaintiff moved for class certification, and Redbox moved for summary judgment. The court denied Redbox's motion for summary judgment in February 2012. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on April 19, 2012, and an amended motion for class certification on June 5, 2012. The court denied Redbox's motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The amended class certification motion was briefed and argued. At the hearing on plaintiff's amended motion for class certification, the the plaintiff dismissed all claims but two and is pursuing only her claims under the Illinois Rental Purchase Agreement Act and the Illinois Automatic Contract Renewal Act. On May 21, 2013, the court denied plaintiff's amended class action motion. Plaintiff has filed for additional time in which to seek leave to appeal the court's ruling. We believe that the claims against us are without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously in this matter. Currently, no accrual has been established as it was not possible to estimate the possible loss or range of loss because this matter had not advanced to a stage where we could make any such estimate.

25


In March 2011, a California resident, Blake Boesky, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint against our Redbox subsidiary in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The plaintiff alleges that Redbox retains personally identifiable information of consumers for a time period in excess of that allowed under the Video Privacy Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 2710, et seq. A substantially similar complaint was filed in the same court in March 2011 by an Illinois resident, Kevin Sterk. Since the filing of the complaint, Blake Boesky has been replaced by a different named plaintiff, Jiah Chung, and an amended complaint has been filed alleging disclosures of personally identifiable information, in addition to plaintiffs' claims of retention of such information. Plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages, injunctive relief, attorneys' fees, costs of suit, and interest. The court has consolidated the cases. The court denied Redbox's motion to dismiss the plaintiffs' claims upon interlocutory appeal. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit reversed the district court's denial of Redbox's motion to dismiss plaintiff's claims involving retention of information, holding that the plaintiffs could not maintain a suit for damages under this theory. On April 25, 2012, the plaintiffs amended their complaint to add claims under the Stored Communications Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2707, and for breach of contract. On May 9, 2012, Redbox moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On July 23, 2012, the court dismissed the added retention claims, except to the extent that plaintiffs seek injunctive, non-monetary relief. On April 8, 2013, Redbox filed a motion seeking summary judgment in its favor on all remaining claims, and requested that the court stay further class proceedings pending resolution of the summary judgment motion. The court granted the motion to stay further class proceedings, and the parties are awaiting a ruling on Redbox's fully-briefed motion for summary judgment. We believe that the claims against us are without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously in this matter. Currently, no accrual has been established as it is not possible to estimate the possible loss or range of loss because this matter had not advanced to a stage where we could make any such estimate.
In February 2011, a California resident, Michael Mehrens, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint against our Redbox subsidiary in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles. The plaintiff alleges that, among other things, Redbox violated California's Song-Beverly Credit Card Act of 1971 (“Song-Beverly”) with respect to the collection and recording of consumer personal identification information, and violated the California Business and Professions Code § 17200 based on the alleged violation of Song-Beverly. A similar complaint alleging violations of Song-Beverly and the right to privacy generally was filed in March 2011 in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Alameda, by a California resident, John Sinibaldi. A third similar complaint alleging only a violation of Song-Beverly, was filed in March 2011 in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego, by a California resident, Richard Schiff. Plaintiffs are seeking compensatory damages and civil penalties, injunctive relief, attorneys' fees, costs of suit, and interest. Redbox removed the Mehrens case to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, the Sinibaldi case to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, and the Schiff case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. The Sinibaldi case was subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, where the Mehrens case is pending, and these two cases have been consolidated. At the same time, the plaintiffs substituted Nicolle DiSimone as the named plaintiff in the Mehrens case. After Redbox filed a motion to dismiss, stay, or transfer, the Schiff case was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. On January 4, 2013, the Court dismissed with prejudice theSchiff case for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court rules and orders. Redbox moved to dismiss the DiSimone/Sinibaldi case, and DiSimone/Sinibaldi moved for class certification. In January 2012, the Court granted Redbox's motion to dismiss with prejudice and denied DiSimone/Sinibaldi's motion for class certification as moot. On February 2, 2012, Plaintiffs filed their notice of appeal. After a stay pending the California Supreme Court's decision in a case presenting similar issues involving Song-Beverly in a case to which Redbox is not a party, Plaintiffs filed their opening brief on April 15, 2013. The matter is now fully briefed, and the parties are awaiting a determination from the appellate court as to whether oral argument will be required. We believe that the claims against us are without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously in this matter. Currently, no accrual has been established as it is not possible to estimate the possible loss or range of loss because this matter had not advanced to a stage where we could make any such estimate.
Other Contingencies
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we resolved a previously disclosed loss contingency related to a supply agreement and recognized a benefit of $11.4 million included in direct operating in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
As of June 30, 2013, based upon currently available information, we believe a loss contingency exists related to certain indemnification obligations we have previously undertaken.  No claims have been filed and negotiations are ongoing with the indemnified party. No amount has been accrued for in our consolidated financial statements as a best estimate of the contingent loss cannot currently be made; however, our best estimate of the aggregate range of the potential loss is from zero to $10.4 million.  We believe the likelihood of additional loss in excess of this range as of June 30, 2013 related to these obligations is remote.

NOTE 17: INCOME TAXES
During the second quarter of 2013, we entered into an arrangement to sell certain NCR kiosks and a series of transactions to reorganize Redbox related subsidiary structures through the sale of a wholly owned subsidiary. Total proceeds from the sale of the subsidiary were $11.8 million.  As a result of the series of transactions we recorded a discrete one-time tax benefit of $17.8 million, net of a valuation allowance, through the realization of various capital and ordinary gains and losses. This series of transactions decreased our effective tax rate by 37.4%, and 21.5% to an effective tax rate of 1.8% and 16.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 respectively.

NOTE 18: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Acquisition of ecoATM, Inc.,
On July 1, 2013, Outerwall Inc., entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Agreement”) with ecoATM, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ecoATM”) that provides an automated self-serve kiosk system to purchase used mobile phones, tablets and MP3 players for cash.
The total purchase price for ecoATM was approximately $350.0 million (which covered payoff of certain indebtedness and certain transaction costs), subject to certain adjustments including for working capital. Payment of the total purchase price was in cash and took into account Outerwall’s current 23% equity interest in ecoATM for which no cash payment was made resulting in a cash payment of $262.9 million upon closing, which includes certain purchase adjustments for working capital.
On July 23, 2013 all necessary approvals were obtained and the acquisition was completed. As a part of purchase accounting, our previously held equity interest will be remeasured at fair value with the difference between the fair value and carrying value recorded as a gain within our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Borrowings Under Line of Credit
On July 22, 2013, we drew $100.0 million under our revolving line of credit to fund the acquisition of ecoATM.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except for the consolidated historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our objectives, expectations and intentions. Our actual results could differ materially from results that may be anticipated by such forward-looking statements and discussed elsewhere herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and those discussed under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (our “2012 Form 10-K”). Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to revise any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may subsequently arise. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this report and in our other reports filed with the SEC that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, prospects and results of operations.
In the following discussion, unless otherwise noted, references to increases or decreases in revenue and expense items, cash flows and financial measures are based on the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2013, compared with the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2012.
Overview
On June 27, 2013, we changed our name to Outerwall Inc. The name change reflects the evolution of our company from a single coin-counting kiosk business into multiple automated retail businesses. The name Outerwall was selected as an umbrella corporate brand that encompasses our current operations and provides a platform for future retail opportunities. In connection with our name change, we now refer to our Coin business segment as the Coinstar business segment.
We are a leading provider of automated retail solutions offering convenient products and services that benefit consumers and drive incremental retail traffic and revenue for retailers. Collectively our business segments and strategic investments operate within six consumer sectors: Entertainment, Money, Food & Beverage, Beauty & Consumer Packaged Goods, Health and Electronics.
Our automated retail business model leverages technology advancements that allow delivery of new and innovative consumer products in a compact, automated format. We believe this model positions us to address retailers’ increasing need to provide more in less space driven by increased urbanization and consumers’ increasing expectation of instant gratification. Our products and services can be found at approximately 64,640 kiosks in leading supermarkets, drug stores, mass merchants, financial institutions, convenience stores, and restaurants.
Core Offerings
We have two core businesses:
Our Redbox business segment (“Redbox”), where consumers can rent or purchase movies and video games from self-service kiosks is focused on the entertainment consumer sector.
Our Coinstar business segment (“Coinstar”) is focused on the money consumer sector and provides self-service kiosks where consumers can convert their coins to cash, convert coins and paper bills to stored value products or, from an increasing number of locations, withdraw cash from their stored value accounts and exchange gift cards.
New Ventures
We identify, evaluate, build and develop innovative new self-service concepts in the automated retail space in our New Ventures business segment (“New Ventures”). Self-service kiosk concepts we are currently exploring in the marketplace represent the Food & Beverage, Entertainment, Beauty & Consumer Packaged Goods and Electronics consumer sectors.
Strategic Investments and Joint Venture
We make strategic investments in external companies that provide automated self-service kiosk solutions. Current investments address the Health and Electronics consumer sectors and the Entertainment sector through our Redbox Instant by Verizon joint venture. See Note 9: Equity Method Investments and Related Party Transactions in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information and Note 18: Subsequent Events in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for our acquisition of ecoATM, one of our strategic investments.
Strategy

28


Our strategy is based upon leveraging our core competencies in the automated retail space to provide the consumer with convenience and value and to help retailers drive incremental traffic and revenue. Our competencies include success in building strong consumer and retailer relationships, and in deploying, scaling and managing kiosk businesses. We build strong retailer relationships by providing retailers with turnkey solutions that complement their businesses without significant outlays of time and financial resources. We believe we have significant opportunities to continue to grow our revenues, profitability and cash flow by capitalizing on our strengths and favorable industry trends through the execution of the following strategies:
Continue growing our Redbox business profitably. We believe we will continue to profitably grow Redbox as our newly installed Redbox kiosks continue to become established in their respective locations. In addition, we believe there are a number of other ways Redbox will continue to grow profitability including through the distribution of more Blu-ray discs as well as investment in other analytic tools that will allow for personalized recommendations among other features.
Leverage our existing platforms to drive new revenue opportunities. We believe that our extensive Redbox and Coinstar networks lend themselves to additional revenue opportunities with limited incremental investments. At Redbox, we launched video game rentals which leverage our existing kiosk infrastructure. In the Coinstar business we have announced an offering with PayPal®, expanded fee-free options, and launched a gift card exchange business. We will continue to develop consumer oriented products and services that take advantage of our existing points of presence.
Develop and expand Redbox Instant by Verizon. We believe Redbox Instant by Verizon provides consumers with a unique and compelling value proposition that combines new release physical and curated digital content. Although we believe that physical DVD rentals will remain a popular content choice with consumers for the foreseeable future, we are committed to addressing the changing needs and preferences of our consumers. Due to the variable cost structure of Redbox Instant by Verizon’s content arrangements and the joint venture’s current plans, we do not presently anticipate significant funding requirements by us after this year. However, we believe there is considerable opportunity for us to grow our consumer base, increase frequency of kiosk use, and achieve strong financial returns from our investment in this joint venture, including through our sale of kiosk rental nights and potential receipt of future dividend distributions if available under the joint venture’s mandatory cash distribution plan.
Optimize revenues from our existing Redbox and Coinstar kiosk offerings. While we have substantially completed the build out of our Redbox and Coinstar networks in the U.S., we believe we can improve financial performance through kiosk optimization. We will continue to focus on finding attractive locations for our kiosks, including through redeployment of underperforming kiosks to lower kiosk density or higher consumer traffic areas. Specific to Redbox, we are retrofitting a significant percentage of our existing kiosks to provide increased capacity which will enable Redbox to retain discs in the kiosks longer thereby allowing us to provide greater title selection and copy depth to generate incremental rentals. We also continuously improve our proprietary algorithms allowing Redbox to more accurately predict daily film availability and demand at individual kiosk locations.
Use our expertise to continue to develop innovative automated retail solutions. Through Redbox and Coinstar, we have demonstrated our ability to profitably scale automated retail solutions. We are leveraging those core competencies to identify and develop new automated retail concepts through both organic and inorganic opportunities. For example, we have developed the Rubi self-service coffee kiosk, which is in over 270 locations. In addition, we continue to invest in additional self-service concepts including a gift card exchange business which is in over 60 locations and ecoATM which provides an automated self-serve kiosk system to purchase used mobile phones, tablets and MP3 players for cash.

Comparing three months ended June 30, 2013 to three months ended June 30, 2012
Revenue increased $22.0 million, or 4.1%, primarily due to new kiosk installations and kiosks acquired from NCR offset by a decline in same stores sales in our Redbox segment.
Operating income increased $0.6 million, or 0.8%, primarily due to our Redbox segment offset by our New Ventures segment. Within our Redbox segment revenue growth was offset by increased expenses that reflect several factors including the high number of Redbox kiosks deployed in the second half of 2012, increased DVD content purchases offset by a $21.7 million benefit from a change in our method of amortizing content costs (See Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and lower studio related share based payments, higher payment card processing fees, as well as increased depreciation and amortization, marketing and general and administrative expenses. Our New Ventures segment revenue growth was more than offset by increased expenses primarily due to increased sales volume and general and administrative expenses as a result of acquisition costs associated with our acquisition of ecoATM.
Net income increased $10.0 million, or 27.1%, primarily due to:
Higher operating income in our Redbox segment partially offset by lower operating income in our Coinstar segment and higher operating loss in our New Ventures segment;
Lower income tax expenses due to lower pretax income and a lower effective tax rate driven primarily by a discrete item; partially offset by

30


Increased interest expense primarily due to the $350.0 million in Senior Notes we issued on March 12, 2013 and loss from early extinguishment of debt.
For additional information refer to our Segment Results in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Comparing six months ended June 30, 2013 to six months ended June 30, 2012
Revenue increased $28.5 million, or 2.6%, primarily due to new kiosk installations and kiosks acquired from NCR offset by a decline in same stores sales in our Redbox segment.
Operating income decreased $29.9 million, or 20.2%, primarily due to our Redbox and New Ventures segments. Within our Redbox segment revenue growth was more than offset by increased expenses that reflect several factors including the high number of Redbox kiosks deployed in the second half of 2012, increased DVD content purchases offset by a $21.7 million benefit from a change in our method of amortizing content costs (See Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and lower studio related share based payments, a $11.4 million reduction in a loss contingency accrual, higher payment card processing fees, as well as increased depreciation and amortization, marketing and general and administrative expenses. Our New Ventures segment revenue growth was more than offset by increased expenses primarily due to increased sales volume and general and administrative expenses as a result of acquisition costs associated with our acquisition of ecoATM along with higher depreciation expense primarily due to an impairment charge.
Net income decreased $21.1 million, or 23.3%, primarily due to:
Lower operating income in our Redbox and Coinstar segments and higher operating loss in our New Ventures segment;
Increased interest expense primarily due to the $350.0 million in Senior Notes we issued on March 12, 2013 and loss from early extinguishment of debt;
Loss from equity method investments compared to a gain in the 2012 period; partially offset by
Lower income tax expenses due to lower pretax income and a lower effective tax rate driven primarily by a discrete item.

Share-Based Payments
Our share-based payments consist of share-based compensation granted to executives, non-employee directors and employees and share-based payments granted to movie studios as part of content agreements. We grant stock options, restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock to executives and non-employee directors and grant restricted stock to our employees. We also granted restricted stock to certain movie studios as part of content agreements with our Redbox segment. The expense associated with the grants to movie studios is allocated to our Redbox segment and included within direct operating expenses. The expense associated with share-based compensation to our executives, non-employee directors and employees is part of our shared services support function and is not allocated to our segments. The components of our unallocated share-based compensation expense are presented in the following table.

Segment Results
Our discussion and analysis that follows covers results of operations for our Redbox, Coinstar and New Ventures segments.
We manage our business by evaluating the financial results of our segments, focusing primarily on segment revenue and segment operating income before depreciation, amortization and other and share-based compensation granted to executives, non-employee directors and employees (“segment operating income”). Segment operating income contains internally allocated costs of our shared services support functions, including corporate executive management, business development, sales, customer service, finance, legal, human resources, information technology, and risk management. We also review depreciation and amortization allocated to each segment.
We utilize segment revenue and segment operating income because we believe they provide useful information for effectively allocating resources among business segments, evaluating the health of our business segments based on metrics that management can actively influence, and gauging our investments and our ability to service, incur or pay down debt. Specifically, our CEO evaluates segment revenue and segment operating income, and assesses the performance of each business segment based on these measures, as well as, among other things, the prospects of each of the segments and how they fit into our overall strategy. Our CEO then decides how resources should be allocated among our business segments. For example, if a segment’s revenue increases more than expected, our CEO may consider allocating more financial or other resources to that segment in the future. We periodically evaluate our shared services support function’s allocation methods used for segment reporting purposes, which may result in changes to segment allocations in future periods.
We also review same store sales, which we calculate for our segments on a location basis. Most of our locations have a single kiosk, but in locations with a high-performing kiosk, we may add additional kiosks to drive incremental revenue and provide a broader product offering. Same store sales reflects the change in revenue from locations that have been operating for more than 13 months by the end of the reporting period compared with the same locations in the same period of the prior year.
Detailed financial information about our business segments, including significant customer relationships is provided in Note 14: Business Segments and Enterprise-Wide Information in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

* Excludes kiosks and the impact of kiosks acquired as part of the 2012 NCR Asset Acquisition. As part of the 2012 NCR Asset Acquisition, we acquired approximately 6,200 active kiosks. Approximately 1,900 of these kiosks remained in service at December 31, 2012. During the first quarter of 2013, we replaced 100 of these kiosks with Redbox kiosks and we removed but did not replace 1,500 more. During the second quarter of 2013, we removed but did not replace all remaining kiosks acquired as part of the 2012 NCR Asset Acquisition. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, kiosks acquired as part of the NCR acquisition made a negligible contribution to revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, kiosks acquired as part of the NCR acquisition generated revenue of approximately $2.7 million from 0.8 million rentals.
 2013 Events
Starting in January in conjunction with our rental revenue sharing agreement entered into on October 19, 2012 (the “Warner Agreement”) with Warner Home Video, a division of Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Inc., we began offering Warner content on a 28-day delay from “street date”. Under the Warner Agreement, Redbox agrees to license minimum quantities of theatrical and direct-to-video Blu-ray disc and DVD titles for rental. The Warner Agreement covers titles that have a street date through December 31, 2014.
In January, we signed a five-year renewal with Walgreen Company (“Walgreens”). The renewal with Walgreens will run through December 31, 2017.
On January 22, we expanded our Redbox Tickets pilot offering to the Los Angeles market providing customers better access to event tickets at affordable prices. This quarter we concluded our Tickets pilot in Los Angeles and Philadelphia. We were pleased with the consumer response, and our operational capabilities, but did not see the momentum in aggregating ticket inventory that we needed to scale with the existing go-to-market approach. We believe in the viability of a Tickets offering under the Redbox brand, and are exploring alternative approaches to ticket inventory acquisition. Our goal is to find an approach that allows us to scale this business with acceptable margins.
On March 25, we amended the terms of our existing content licensing agreement with Universal Studios Home Entertainment LLC (“Universal”) to extend the end date from August 2014 to December 2014. Universal received, at its sole discretion, the option to extend the agreement for an additional year through December 2015.

During the second quarter of 2013, we updated our methodology for amortizing our Redbox content library which resulted in a $21.7 million reduction in Redbox direct operating expenses. See Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Comparing three months ended June 30, 2013 to three months ended June 30, 2012
Revenue increased 20.6 million, or 4.5%, primarily due to the following:
$51.0 million from new kiosk installations including the replacement of NCR kiosks primarily during the second half of 2012; partially offset by
$30.4 million decrease from a 6.8% decline in same store sales due primarily to an overall weaker box office during the quarter, cannibalization of rentals as we installed over 5,200 new kiosks during the second half of 2012, as well as an increase in single night and discounted rentals. Partially offsetting this was substantial growth in Blu-ray and video game rentals, up a combined 68.7%. While our same store sales declined from the prior period as noted above, we have seen steady improvement in 2013 as our increased purchases to improve copy depth availability and rental conversion gain traction. We expect our same stores sales to continue improvement during the second half of 2013 as the large numbers of kiosk installs from the second half of 2012 continue their revenue ramp and will begin to be included in our same store sales.
Net kiosk revenue per rental was $0.02 higher primarily due to increases in Blu-ray and video game rentals as a percentage of our total rentals, which have a higher daily rental fee, partially offset by an increase in single night and discounted rentals.
Our share of the physical rental market continued to grow and reached an all-time high of 50.6% as reported by NPD VideoWatch. We continued to grow our Blu-ray rentals, which increased to 13.3% of total rentals, up from 7.9% in the prior year. We consider Blu-ray a key focus for future revenue growth as it has a higher revenue and margin dollar per rental and offers consumers a better viewing experience due to superior picture and sound quality compared to other options such as digital streaming and video on demand. Video game rentals increased from 1.6% in the prior year to 2.1% of total rentals despite having fewer new releases in 2013. Blu-ray and video game rentals represented over 15% of all rentals in the quarter, which is an all-time high.
Operating income increased $5.4 million, or 8.9%, primarily due to the following:
$20.6 million increase in revenue as described above; partially offset by
$6.8 million increase in direct operating expenses comprised of the following; product costs increasing to $190.4 million due to higher DVD content purchases as a result of the growth in our installed kiosk base, as well as increased content purchases under our Warner agreement which was signed in the fourth quarter of 2012 relative to Q2 2012 when we were procuring Warner content through alternative sources, partially offset by a $21.7 million reduction in product costs due to the content library amortization change as explained in Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and a $2.2 million reduction in studio related share based expenses primarily due to fewer number of unvested shares on the last day of the calculation period. Additionally, there were increases in revenue share, customer service, payment card processing fees and support function costs directly attributable to our revenue and kiosk growth. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in our kiosk field operation costs as we continue to gain efficiencies as our installed base grows. Direct operating expenses as a percent of revenue for 2013 were 67.6% as compared to 69.1% in the prior period. We expect to improve our financial performance by optimizing our kiosk network, which will focus on either removing underperforming kiosks or redeploying them to lower kiosk density or higher consumer traffic areas and allow us to increase our rentals;
$5.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization expenses primarily due to incremental depreciation associated with our 2012 installed kiosks, including the NCR kiosks, as well as higher depreciation from the continued investment in our technology infrastructure and the launch of Redbox Instant by Verizon;
$2.1 million increase in marketing costs due to initiatives to increase our revenue by improving consumer insight and data capabilities to offer a better consumer experience through personalized recommendations for the latest new releases, growth in our SMS and text club messages due to an increase in our subscriber list, as well as our expansion into Canada; and
$1.5 million increase in general and administrative expenses primarily due to higher expenses related to facilities expansion, professional fees related to the sale of kiosks acquired in our NCR Asset Acquisition, human resource programs, the continued implementation and maintenance of our enterprise resource planning system, and overall higher costs to support the growth in our installed kiosk base.

Comparing six months ended June 30, 2013 to six months ended June 30, 2012
Revenue increased $25.5 million, or 2.7%, primarily due to the following:
$111.8 million from new kiosk installations including the replacement of NCR kiosks; and
$2.7 million from kiosks acquired from NCR; partially offset by
$89.0 million decrease from an 9.4% decline in same store sales due primarily to a considerably weaker start to first quarter’s release schedule, which has a significant influence on Q1 rentals, with only 36% of the total Q1 box office (representing titles with total North American box office receipts of at least $5.0 million) available to rent in January versus 50% last year, an overall weaker box office during the second quarter, an increase in single night and discounted rentals, as well as cannibalization of rentals as we installed over 5,200 new kiosks during the second half of 2012. Partially offsetting this was substantial growth in Blu-ray and video game rentals, up a combined 61.6%. While our same store sales declined from the prior period as noted above, we have seen steady improvement in 2013 as our increased purchases to improve copy depth availability and rental conversion gain traction. We expect our same stores sales to continue improvement during the second half of 2013 as the large numbers of kiosk installs from the second half of 2012 continue their revenue ramp and will begin to be included in our same store sales.
Net kiosk revenue per rental was $0.01 higher primarily due to the increases in Blu-ray and video game rentals as a percentage of our total rentals, which have a higher daily rental fee. These increases were partially offset by higher than expected customer response to promotions which drove discounted rentals and an increase in single night rentals.
Our share of the physical rental market continued to grow and reached an all-time high of 50.6% as reported by NPD VideoWatch. Blu-ray rentals continued prior trends and increased to 12.6% of total rentals. We consider Blu-ray a key focus for future revenue growth as it has a higher revenue and margin dollar per rental and offers consumers a better viewing experience due to superior picture and sound quality compared to other options such as digital streaming and video on demand. Video game rentals increased from 1.7% to 2.2% of total rentals despite having fewer new releases in 2013.
Operating income decreased $19.1 million, or 13.9%, primarily due to the following:
$25.5 million increase in revenue as described above; offset by
$21.2 million increase in direct operating expenses comprised of the following; product costs increasing to $413.7 million due to higher DVD content purchases as a result of the growth in our installed kiosk base, increased content purchases under our Warner agreement which was signed in the fourth quarter of 2012 relative to February - June 2012 when we were procuring Warner content through alternative sources, as well as increases in copy depth to improve content availability and rental conversion, partially offset by a $21.7 million reduction in product costs due to the content library amortization change as explained in Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and a $5.9 million reduction in studio related share based expenses primarily due a smaller change in our share price during the period and a lower number of unvested shares on the last day of the calculation period. Additionally, there were increases in revenue share, customer service, payment card processing fees and support function costs directly attributable to our revenue and kiosk growth and certain costs incurred to service the kiosks under the transition services agreement with NCR. Benefiting the period was an $11.4 million reduction in a loss contingency accrual, of which $9.4 million had been previously expensed in 2012. Direct operating expenses as a percent of revenue for 2013 were 69.9% as compared to 69.6% in the prior period. We expect to improve our financial performance by optimizing our kiosk network, which will focus on either removing underperforming kiosks or redeploying them to lower kiosk density or higher consumer traffic areas and allow us to increase our rentals;
$13.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization expenses primarily due to incremental depreciation associated with our 2012 installed kiosks, including the NCR kiosks, as well as higher depreciation from the continued investment in our technology infrastructure and the launch of Redbox Instant by Verizon;
$7.9 million increase in general and administrative expenses primarily due to higher expenses related to facilities expansion, human resource programs, the continued implementation and maintenance of our enterprise resource planning system, professional fees related to the sale of kiosks acquired in our NCR Asset Acquisition, and overall higher costs to support the growth in our installed kiosk base; and
$3.3 million increase in marketing costs due to initiatives to increase our revenue by improving consumer insight and data capabilities to offer a better consumer experience through personalized recommendations for the latest new releases, search engine marketing, growth in our SMS and text club messages due to an increase in our subscriber list, promotional email campaigns and social media, as well as our expansion into Canada.

2013 Events
In the first quarter of 2013, we began deploying kiosks to TD Canada Trust (“TDCT”) locations as part of a service provider contract to place over 350 kiosks at TDCT locations across Canada. We completed this rollout in the first week of April. Coin processing will be available to personal banking customers at no fee and to business customers and the general public at a competitive rate. We have been servicing coin counting kiosks in multiple financial institutions over the last eight years. The financial institution channel provides an opportunity to us as the majority of bank customers are already converting coins at the teller window. We bring an automated solution to financial institutions allowing reduced teller lines while enhancing the consumer experience.
In the first quarter of 2013, we began to rollout an offering with PayPal allowing consumers to load money into or withdraw money from their PayPal accounts. We believe this offering allows us to leverage our existing Coinstar kiosk network to give consumers access to e-payment alternatives. As of June 30, 2013, over 3,400 kiosks were activated with our PayPal services.
Comparing three months ended June 30, 2013 to three months ended June 30, 2012
Revenue increased $0.7 million, or 0.9%, primarily due to an increase in the average coin-to-voucher transaction size of 6.4% and an increase in the volume of non-cash voucher products by 0.7%. Same store sales were down overall driven primarily by a decline in the number of transactions in Canada subsequent to the increase from the Royal Canadian Mint’s penny reclamation efforts during the first quarter of 2013. We believe that Canadian customers will take longer to accumulate coins as a result of the influx of coin in Q1 because there are fewer pennies.
Operating income decreased $0.8 million, or 4.6%, primarily due to the following:
$0.9 million increase in research and development expenses primarily due to an increase in hardware and software engineering efforts for our Coinstar and gift card exchange business kiosks; and
$0.5 million increase in direct operating expenses primarily due to higher revenue share expense attributable to both revenue growth and increased revenue share rates with certain retail partners as a result of long-term contract renewals; higher coin processing and transportation related expenses arising from higher revenue and incremental costs to outsource the transportation function in Canada in 2013, partially offset by lower expenses from the sales function and lower fuel costs; and

36


$0.7 million increase in revenue as described above; and
$0.2 million decrease in marketing expenses primarily due to timing of advertising and spending to support our programs in the second quarter of 2013.
Comparing six months ended June 30, 2013 to six months ended June 30, 2012
Revenue increased $1.2 million, or 0.9%, primarily due to growth of U.S. same store sales and revenue from TDCT locations. The average coin-to-voucher transaction size continued to increase and the volume of non-cash voucher products increased by 0.7%. Same store sales grew in the U.S. driven by the fact that revenue from kiosks installed in 2011 was fully included in this year's same store sales measurement. This was more than offset by reduced same store sales in Canada as a result of TDCT locations not included in same store sales currently as they have been installed less than twelve months.
Operating income decreased $1.3 million, or 4.7%, primarily due to the following:
$1.5 million increase in research and development expenses primarily due to an increase in kiosk software and hardware engineering efforts for our Coinstar and gift card exchange business kiosks;
$1.2 million increase in direct operating expenses primarily due to to higher revenue share expense attributable to both revenue growth and increased revenue share rates with certain retail partners as a result of long-term contract renewals; higher coin processing and transportation related expenses arising from higher revenue and incremental costs to outsource the transportation function in CA in 2013, partially offset by lower expenses from the sales function; and
$1.2 million increase in revenue as described above; and
$0.8 million decrease in marketing expenses primarily due to timing of advertising and spending to support our programs in 2013.

During the first quarter of 2013, we began exploring strategic alternatives for our New Ventures self-service concept for refurbished electronics called Orango. We determined that certain assets related to this concept would be sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of their previously established useful lives and estimated that their fair value less costs to sell utilizing a cash flow approach exceeded their carrying value by $3.2 million. We consequently recorded charges of $0.2 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively to depreciation expense and $0.5 million to direct operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013. As of the end of the second quarter of 2013 the business operations for Orango were shut down.
Comparing three months ended June 30, 2013 to three months ended June 30, 2012
Revenue increased 198.7% primarily due to 280 additional kiosks which includes the growth of our Rubi coffee concept.
Operating loss increased $4.0 million, or 64.4%, primarily due to the following:
$2.8 million increase in direct operating expenses primarily due costs associated with adding kiosks to the marketplace, additional headcount to support growth and additional sales volume;
$1.9 million increase in general and administrative expenses primarily due to $1.7 million in expenses related to the acquisition of ecoATM (See Note 18: Subsequent Events in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and additional headcount to support growth; and
$0.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization primarily due to an increase in kiosks; partially offset by
$0.8 million increase in revenue as described above.

38


Comparing six months ended June 30, 2013 to six months ended June 30, 2012
Revenue increased 217.9% primarily due to 280 additional kiosks which includes the growth of our Rubi coffee concept.
Operating loss increased $9.5 million, or 80.8%, primarily due to the following:
$4.8 million increase in direct operating expenses primarily due to the liquidation of inventory for our Orango concept which shut down operations during the second quarter of 2013, costs associated with adding kiosks to the marketplace, additional sales volume from existing concepts, additional headcount to support growth and the $0.5 million charge noted above;
$3.4 million increase in depreciation and amortization primarily due to the $2.7 million charge noted above and an increase in kiosks across the segment;
$2.8 million increase in general and administrative expenses primarily due to $1.7 million in expenses related to the acquisition of ecoATM (See Note 18: Subsequent Events in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and additional headcount to support growth; and
$0.3 million increase in marketing expense primarily due to increased headcount to support business growth; partially offset by
$1.8 million increase in revenue as described above.

Loss from equity method investments
Comparing three months ended June 30, 2013 to three months ended June 30, 2012
Loss from equity method investments increased to $9.6 million from $5.0 million, primarily due to increased losses in our Redbox Instant by Verizon joint venture. We expect continued losses from our equity method investments for the fiscal year.
Comparing six months ended June 30, 2013 to six months ended June 30, 2012
Loss from equity method investments increased to $16.7 million from $10.1 million in income, primarily due to a $19.5 million gain recognized on formation of the Redbox Instant by Verizon joint venture in February 2012 and increased losses in the joint venture during the six months ended June 30, 2013. We expect continued losses from our equity method investments for the fiscal year.
Additional financial information about our equity method investments is provided in Note 9: Equity Method Investments and Related Party Transactions in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest expense, net increased $9.0 million, or 297.0%, and $10.4 million, or 145.8%, during the second quarter and year to date 2013 periods, primarily due to losses from early extinguishment and conversion of our convertible notes and interest expense associated with the $350.0 million in Senior Notes we issued on March 12, 2013. See Note 10: Debt and Other Long-Term Liabilities in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate was 1.8% and 40.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 16.4% and 40.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our effective tax rate in 2012 was higher than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to state income taxes. Our effective tax rate in 2013 was lower than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to a discrete one-time tax benefit of $17.8 million, which is net of a valuation allowance, realized from an arrangement to sell certain NCR kiosks and a series of transactions to reorganize Redbox related subsidiary structures through the sale of a wholly owned subsidiary, offset partially by state income taxes. The decrease in our effective tax rate year over year for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, was due primarily to the same series of transactions. This series of transactions decreased our effective tax rate by 37.4%, and 21.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. See Note 17: Income Taxes in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP measures may be provided as a complement to results provided in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
We use the following non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our financial results:
Core adjusted EBITDA;
Core diluted earnings per share (“EPS”); and
Free cash flow.
These measures, the definitions of which are presented below, are non-GAAP because they exclude certain amounts which are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our GAAP financial measures and may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies.
Core and Non-Core Results
We distinguish our core activities, those associated with our primary operations which we directly control, from non-core activities. Non-core activities are primarily nonrecurring events or events we do not directly control. Our non-core adjustments include i) acquisition costs primarily related to the NCR Asset Acquisition and acquisition of ecoATM, Inc., ii) a gain on the grant of a license to use certain Redbox trademarks to Redbox Instant by Verizon and iii) income or loss from equity method investments, which represents our share of income or loss from entities we do not consolidate or control (“Non-Core Adjustments”).
We believe investors should consider our core results because they are more indicative of our ongoing performance and trends, are more consistent with how management evaluates our operational results and trends, provide meaningful supplemental information to investors through the exclusion of certain expenses which are either non-recurring or may not be indicative of our directly controllable business operating results, allow for greater transparency in assessing our performance, help investors better analyze the results of our business and assist in forecasting future periods.
Core Adjusted EBITDA
Our non-GAAP financial measure core adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before depreciation, amortization and other; interest expense, net; income taxes; share-based payments expense; and Non-Core Adjustments.
A reconciliation of core adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the following table:

Comparing three months ended June 30, 2013 to three months ended June 30, 2012
The increase in our core adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher operating income in our Redbox segment partially offset by lower operating income in our Coinstar segment and higher operating loss in our New Ventures segment The other components of core adjusted EBITDA have been discussed previously in the Results of Operations section above.
Comparing six months ended June 30, 2013 to six months ended June 30, 2012

Free Cash Flow
Our non-GAAP financial measure free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities after capital expenditures. We believe free cash flow is an important non-GAAP measure as it provides additional information to users of the financial statements regarding our ability to service, incur or pay down indebtedness and repurchase our common stock. A reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the following table:

An analysis of our net cash from operating activities and used in investing and financing activities is provided below.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and amounts available to us under our current credit facility will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. After that time, the extent of additional financing needed, if any, will depend on the success of our business. If we significantly increase kiosk installations beyond planned levels or if our Redbox or Coinstar kiosks generate lower than anticipated revenue, then our cash needs may increase. Furthermore, our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including consumer use of our services, the timing and number of machine installations, the number of available installable kiosks, the type and scope of service enhancements, the cost of developing potential new product service offerings, and enhancements and cash required to fund potential future acquisitions and investment. The following is an analysis of our year-to-date cash flows:
Net Cash from Operating Activities
Our net cash from operating activities decreased by $123.6 million primarily due to the following:
$21.1 million decrease in net income to $69.5 million primarily due to decreased operating income in our Redbox segment and increased loss from our New Ventures segment;
$48.5 million net decrease in the impact of changes in non-cash expenses included in net income primarily due to decreases in deferred income taxes and share-based payments partially offset by losses from equity method investments in the current period compared to a gain in the prior year period, increased depreciation and other; and
$54.0 million net decrease in cash flows from changes in working capital primarily due to timing of settlement of accounts payable, cash payments for income taxes and other liabilities partially offset by the timing of purchases of our content library;
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
We used $79.8 million of net cash in our investing activities primarily due to the following:
$68.7 million used for purchases of property and equipment for kiosks and corporate infrastructure, including information technology related to our Enterprise Resource Planning implementation;
$10.0 million used for purchases of short-term investments; and
$14.0 million used for capital contribution to our Redbox Instant by Verizon Joint Venture.
$12.8 million in proceeds received from the sale of property and equipment including the sale of NCR kiosks, see Note 7: Property and Equipment.
Net Cash from Financing Activities
We obtained $98.1 million of net cash from our financing activities primarily due to the following:
$343.8 million obtained in net proceeds from issuance of our senior unsecured notes;
$176.2 million used to pay our term loan and retire a portion of our convertible debt;

42


$71.4 million used to repurchase our common stock; and
$7.5 million used to pay capital lease obligations and other debt;
$6.7 million obtained from the exercise of stock options.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
A portion of our business involves collecting and processing large volumes of cash, most of it in the form of coins. As of June 30, 2013, our cash and cash equivalent balance was $370.2 million, of which $95.8 million was identified for settling our payable to the retailer partners in relation to our Coinstar kiosks. The remaining balance of our cash and cash equivalents was available for use to support our liquidity needs.
Short Term Investments
As of June 30, 2013, we had $10.0 million of short-term investments, which consist of high credit quality, tax-exempt Variable Rate Demand Notes (VRDN). VRDNs have a put option that allows them to be liquidated generally on a same day or a five business day settlement basis. All of the put options are secured by a pledged liquidity source and are backed by highly rated financial institutions.
We classify these short-term investments as available for sale. VRDN securities have variable interest rates that reset at regular intervals. Because our VRDNs have short reset periods, their cost approximates fair value and there were no realized or unrealized gains or losses related to the securities.

Senior Unsecured Notes
On March 12, 2013, we and certain subsidiaries of ours, as subsidiary guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, pursuant to which we issued $350.0 million principal amount of 6.000% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”) at par for proceeds, net of expenses, of $343.8 million and the Subsidiary Guarantors would guarantee the Notes (the “Guarantees”). We will use the proceeds of this offering primarily toward Convertible Note repayment and other corporate purposes. The Notes and the Guarantees are general unsecured obligations and are effectively subordinated to all of our and Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the collateral securing that secured debt. In addition, the Notes will be effectively subordinated to all of the liabilities of our existing and future subsidiaries that are not guaranteeing the Notes. Interest on the Notes will be payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2013, with the Notes maturing on March 15, 2019.
We may redeem any of the Notes beginning on March 15, 2016, at a redemption price of 103% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (and additional interest, if any); then the redemption price for the Notes will be 101.5% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (and additional interest, if any) for the twelve-month period beginning March 15, 2017; and then the redemption price for the Notes will be 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest and unpaid interest (and additional interest, if any) beginning on March 15, 2018. We may also redeem some or all of the Notes before March 15, 2016, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest (and additional interest, if any), to the redemption date, plus an applicable “make-whole” premium. In addition, before March 15, 2016, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at 106% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (and additional interest, if any); the Company may make such redemption only if, after any such redemption, at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued remains outstanding.

43


Upon a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), we will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes or any portion thereof. That purchase price will equal 101% of the principal amount of the Notes on the date of purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest (and additional interest, if any). If we make certain asset sales and do not reinvest the proceeds or use such proceeds to repay certain debt, we will be required to use the proceeds of such asset sales to make an offer to purchase the Notes at 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the date of purchase.
The terms of the Notes restrict our ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; create liens; pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock; purchase or redeem capital stock; make investments or certain other restricted payments; sell assets; enter into transactions with stockholders or affiliates; or effect a consolidation or merger. However, these and other limitations set forth in the Indenture will be subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.
The Indenture provides for customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to grace and cure periods), among others: nonpayment of principal or interest or premium; breach of covenants or other agreements in the Indenture; defaults in failure to pay certain other indebtedness; the failure to pay certain final judgments; the invalidity of certain of the Subsidiary Guarantors’ Guarantees; and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. Generally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be immediately due and payable. See Note 10: Debt and Other Long-Term Liabilities in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan
On July 15, 2011, we entered into a new credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), to replace our prior credit facility. The Credit Facility provides for a five-year, $175.0 million senior secured term loan and a $450.0 million senior secured revolving line of credit. Subject to additional commitments from lenders, we have the option to increase the aggregate facility size by $250.0 million. The term loan is subject to mandatory debt repayments and matures on July 15, 2016, at which time all outstanding borrowings are due. The annual interest rate on the Credit Facility is variable, based on an index plus a margin determined by our consolidated net leverage ratio. The Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets and the assets of our domestic subsidiaries, as well as a pledge of a substantial portion of our equity interests in our subsidiaries. The Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, ratios and tests. See Note 10: Debt and Other Long-Term Liabilities in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Convertible Debt
The aggregate outstanding principal of our 4.0% Convertible Senior Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) is $53.7 million. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.0% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on each March 1 and September 1, and mature on September 1, 2014. The effective interest rate at issuance was 8.5%. As of June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants.
The Convertible Notes become convertible (the “Conversion Event”) when the closing price of our common stock exceeds $52.38, 130% of the Convertible Notes’ conversion price, for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days prior to each quarter-end date. If the Convertible Notes become convertible and should the holders elect to convert, we will be required to pay them up to the full face value of the Convertible Notes in cash as well as deliver shares of our common stock for any excess conversion value. The number of potentially issued shares increases as the market price of our common stock increases. As of June 30, 2013, such early conversion event was met. As a result, the Convertible Notes were classified as a current liability and the debt conversion feature was classified as temporary equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the six months ended June 30, 2013, we retired a combined 131,248 Convertible Notes or $131.2 million in face value of Convertible Notes, through open market purchases and the note holders electing to convert, for $169.6 million in cash and the issuance of 255,499 shares of common stock. The amount by which the total consideration including cash paid and value of the shares issued exceeds the fair value of the Notes is recorded as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. The loss from early extinguishment of these Convertible Notes was approximately $5.9 million and is recorded in interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
See Note 10: Debt and Other Long-Term Liabilities in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our debt instruments. As of June 30, 2013 we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
Letters of Credit
As of June 30, 2013, we had six irrevocable standby letters of credit that totaled $7.6 million. These standby letters of credit, which expire at various times through 2013, are used to collateralize certain obligations to third parties. As of June 30, 2013, no amounts were outstanding under these standby letter of credit agreements.
Other Contingencies
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we resolved a previously disclosed loss contingency related to a supply agreement and recognized a benefit of $11.4 million included in direct operating in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
As of June 30, 2013, based upon currently available information, we believe a loss contingency exists related to certain indemnification obligations we have previously undertaken.  No claims have been filed and negotiations are ongoing with the indemnified party. No amount has been accrued for in our consolidated financial statements as a best estimate of the contingent loss cannot currently be made; however, our best estimate of the aggregate range of the potential loss is from zero to $10.4 million.  We believe the likelihood of additional loss in excess of this range as of June 30, 2013 related to these obligations is remote.
CONTRACTUAL PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS
As of June 30, 2013, other than the following, and those included in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, there have been no material changes during the period covered by this report to our contractual obligations specified in the table of contractual obligations included in our 2012 Form 10-K:
A reclassification on our Consolidated Balance Sheets of $51.1 million of callable convertible debt from long-term liabilities at December 31, 2012 to current liabilities at June 30, 2013.
An incremental purchase commitment of approximately $5.1 million associated with an outsourced customer service call center;
Pursuant to the manufacturing and services agreement entered into as part of the NCR Asset Acquisition, Outerwall, Redbox or an affiliate were committed to purchase goods and services from NCR for a period of five years from June 22, 2012. At the end of the five-year period, if the aggregate amount paid in margin to NCR for goods and services delivered were to equal less than $25.0 million, Coinstar was to pay NCR the difference between such aggregate amount and $25.0 million. As of June 30, 2013, the remaining commitment is $19.0 million under this arrangement.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Preparation of these statements requires management to make judgments and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the present circumstances. A summary of significant accounting policies and a description of accounting policies that are considered critical may be found in our Form 10-K at Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
In the three months ended June 30, 2013, we updated our methodology for amortizing our Redbox content library. The amortization charges are still recorded on an accelerated basis and substantially all of the amortization expense is recognized within one year of purchase. Our updated methodology is more precise in the utilization of our rental curves, which incorporate thinning estimates, in amortizing content costs. We update our rental curves on a quarterly basis to better reflect changes in these rental curves prospectively. See Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other than the updated in amortization methodology for our Redbox content library, there have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our 2012 Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in our reported market risks and risk management policies since the filing of our 2012 Form 10-K.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and has determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We also maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2013 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
In October 2009, an Illinois resident, Laurie Piechur, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint against our Redbox subsidiary in the Circuit Court for the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, St. Clair County, Illinois. The plaintiff alleged that, among other things, Redbox charges consumers illegal and excessive late fees in violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, and that Redbox's rental terms violate the Illinois Rental Purchase Agreement Act or the Illinois Automatic Contract Renewal Act and the plaintiff is seeking monetary damages and other relief. In November 2009, Redbox removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois. In February 2010, the District Court remanded the case to the Circuit Court for the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, St. Clair County, Illinois. In May 2010, the court denied Redbox's motion to dismiss the plaintiff's complaint. In November 2011, the plaintiff moved for class certification, and Redbox moved for summary judgment. The court denied Redbox's motion for summary judgment in February 2012. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on April 19, 2012, and an amended motion for class certification on June 5, 2012. The court denied Redbox's motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The amended class certification motion was briefed and argued. At the hearing on plaintiff's amended motion for class certification, the the plaintiff dismissed all claims but two and is pursuing only her claims under the Illinois Rental Purchase Agreement Act and the Illinois Automatic Contract Renewal Act. On May 21, 2013, the court denied plaintiff's amended class action motion. Plaintiff has filed for additional time in which to seek leave to appeal the court's ruling. We believe that the claims against us are without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously in this matter. Currently, no accrual has been established as it was not possible to estimate the possible loss or range of loss because this matter had not advanced to a stage where we could make any such estimate.
In March 2011, a California resident, Blake Boesky, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint against our Redbox subsidiary in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The plaintiff alleges that Redbox retains personally identifiable information of consumers for a time period in excess of that allowed under the Video Privacy Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 2710, et seq. A substantially similar complaint was filed in the same court in March 2011 by an Illinois resident, Kevin Sterk. Since the filing of the complaint, Blake Boesky has been replaced by a different named plaintiff, Jiah Chung, and an amended complaint has been filed alleging disclosures of personally identifiable information, in addition to plaintiffs' claims of retention of such information. Plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages, injunctive relief, attorneys' fees, costs of suit, and interest. The court has consolidated the cases. The court denied Redbox's motion to dismiss the plaintiffs' claims upon interlocutory appeal. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit reversed the district court's denial of Redbox's motion to dismiss plaintiff's claims involving retention of information, holding that the plaintiffs could not maintain a suit for damages under this theory. On April 25, 2012, the plaintiffs amended their complaint to add claims under the Stored Communications Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2707, and for breach of contract. On May 9, 2012, Redbox moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On July 23, 2012, the court dismissed the added retention claims, except to the extent that plaintiffs seek injunctive, non-monetary relief. On April 8, 2013, Redbox filed a motion seeking summary judgment in its favor on all remaining claims, and requested that the court stay further class proceedings pending resolution of the summary judgment motion. The court granted the motion to stay further class proceedings, and the parties are awaiting a ruling on Redbox's fully-briefed motion for summary judgment. We believe that the claims against us are without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously in this matter. Currently, no accrual has been established as it is not possible to estimate the possible loss or range of loss because this matter had not advanced to a stage where we could make any such estimate.

In February 2011, a California resident, Michael Mehrens, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint against our Redbox subsidiary in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles. The plaintiff alleges that, among other things, Redbox violated California's Song-Beverly Credit Card Act of 1971 (“Song-Beverly”) with respect to the collection and recording of consumer personal identification information, and violated the California Business and Professions Code § 17200 based on the alleged violation of Song-Beverly. A similar complaint alleging violations of Song-Beverly and the right to privacy generally was filed in March 2011 in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Alameda, by a California resident, John Sinibaldi. A third similar complaint alleging only a violation of Song-Beverly, was filed in March 2011 in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego, by a California resident, Richard Schiff. Plaintiffs are seeking compensatory damages and civil penalties, injunctive relief, attorneys' fees, costs of suit, and interest. Redbox removed the Mehrens case to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, the Sinibaldi case to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, and the Schiff case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. The Sinibaldi case was subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, where the Mehrens case is pending, and these two cases have been consolidated. At the same time, the plaintiffs substituted Nicolle DiSimone as the named plaintiff in the Mehrens case. After Redbox filed a motion to dismiss, stay, or transfer, the Schiff case was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. On January 4, 2013, the Court dismissed with prejudice theSchiff case for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court rules and orders. Redbox moved to dismiss the DiSimone/Sinibaldi case, and DiSimone/Sinibaldi moved for class certification. In January 2012, the Court granted Redbox's motion to dismiss with prejudice and denied DiSimone/Sinibaldi's motion for class certification as moot. On February 2, 2012, Plaintiffs filed their notice of appeal. After a stay pending the California Supreme Court's decision in a case presenting similar issues involving Song-Beverly in a case to which Redbox is not a party, Plaintiffs filed their opening brief on April 15, 2013. The matter is now fully briefed, and the parties are awaiting a determination from the appellate court as to whether oral argument will be required. We believe that the claims against us are without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously in this matter. Currently, no accrual has been established as it is not possible to estimate the possible loss or range of loss because this matter had not advanced to a stage where we could make any such estimate.
