- Q2 operating margin was approximately 13.1%, versus 12.0% a year earlier, based on reported revenue and operating income.
- First-half investing cash outflow was $45.5 million, versus $387.0 million in 2022, when the company paid $331.0 million at the closing of the Piraeus Bank merchant acquiring acquisition. Financing cash inflow was $104.4 million, versus $491.2 million.
- Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $2,192.6 million at June 30; this includes $776.3 million of ATM cash. Unrestricted cash was $1,137.5 million. Working capital was $1,207.4 million, down from $1,372.6 million at year-end 2022; the current ratio was 1.52.

The company reported compliance with debt covenants.
Segments and notable changes
- EFT Processing: Q2 revenue increased 13% to $282.4 million and operating income rose 26% to $69.1 million. Higher transaction volumes, travel recovery and DCC activity contributed; processed transactions increased 29%.
- epay: Q2 revenue increased 16% to $263.8 million and operating income rose 10% to $26.8 million. Growth in digital and mobile branded payments was partly offset by lower transaction volume and weaker gross and operating margins from transaction mix.
- Money Transfer: Q2 revenue increased 7% to $394.8 million and operating income rose 16% to $47.2 million. Growth in international-originated, U.S. outbound and digital transfers was partly offset by lower U.S. domestic transactions; revenue per transaction declined.
- Interest expense increased to $14.0 million in Q2 from $8.8 million, primarily reflecting higher credit-facility rates. Foreign-exchange results swung to a $6.3 million gain from a $14.7 million loss.
Outlook, risks and contingencies
- Management estimated 2023 capital expenditures of approximately $100–$110 million and said operating cash flow, cash on hand and available financing should be sufficient for debt, lease and capital expenditure obligations. No specific earnings guidance was provided in the supplied filing text.
- Management cited inflationary cost pressure, including potential effects on epay discretionary spending, EFT travel and money-transfer send amounts, and expects expenses to increase. The business is also exposed to travel trends, migration patterns, competition, regulatory and licensing requirements, cybersecurity and service interruptions, interest rates, and foreign-exchange movements.
- About 75% of first-half revenue was generated outside the U.S. Management estimated that a 10% currency fluctuation could affect reported net income and working capital by approximately $160–$170 million on an annualized basis, and total comprehensive income by approximately $120–$130 million through noncash translation effects.
- The company had $86.7 million of standby letters of credit and bank guarantees, plus stated off-balance-sheet ATM cash and performance guarantees of $43.3 million and approximately $11.5 million, respectively. Management reported no legal or regulatory proceedings expected to have a material adverse effect and no significant indemnification claims known.
- Seasonality matters: EFT DCC demand is normally strongest in Q3; epay is affected by holiday-season patterns and campaign timing; money-transfer demand typically increases from May through Q4.
Investor verification priorities
- Reconcile ATM and restricted cash included in reported cash totals with funds available for general corporate use.
- Review the $450 million short-term ATM-vault-cash loans, their rates and maturities, and whether they are renewed or repaid.
- Assess whether segment revenue growth converts to sustained margins, particularly epay’s mix-related margin pressure and Money Transfer’s higher personnel costs.
- Monitor currency sensitivity, interest expense and the effects of inflation, travel and migration trends against management’s capital-spending and liquidity expectations.
- Check the filing’s detailed debt terms, guarantees and risk-factor disclosures; the 10-Q states that risk factors were not materially changed from the 2022 Form 10-K.
