OVERVIEWCOMPANY OVERVIEW, GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS AND PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Euronet is a leading electronic payments provider. We offer payment and transaction processing and distribution solutions to financial institutions, retailers, service providers and individual consumers. Our primary product offerings include comprehensive Automated Teller Machine ("ATM"), point-of-sale ("POS"), card outsourcing, card issuing and merchant acquiring services, software solutions, electronic distribution of prepaid mobile airtime and other electronic payment products, foreign currency exchange services and global money transfer services. We operate in the following three segments:
º The EFT Processing Segment, which processes transactions for a network of
43,559 active ATMs and approximately 375,000 POS terminals across
the
comprehensive electronic payment solutions consisting of ATM cash
withdrawal and deposit services, ATM network participation, outsourced ATM
and POS management solutions, credit and debit card outsourcing, dynamic
currency conversion ("DCC"), and other value added services. Through this
segment, we also offer a suite of integrated electronic financial
transaction software solutions for electronic payment and transaction
delivery systems.
º The epay Segment, which provides distribution, processing and collection
services for prepaid mobile airtime and other electronic content. We
operate a network of approximately 748,000 POS terminals providing
electronic processing of prepaid mobile airtime top-up services and other
electronic content in
States and
fulfillment services in
º The Money Transfer Segment, which provides global consumer-to-consumer
money transfer services, primarily under the brand names Ria, AFEX, IME and
xe and global account-to-account money transfer services under the brand
name xe. We offer services under the brand names Ria, AFEX and IME through
a network of sending agents, Company-owned stores (primarily in North
America , Europe and Malaysia ) and our websites (riamoneytransfer.com and
online.imeremit.com), disbursing money transfers through a worldwidecorrespondent network that includes approximately 490,000 locations. xe is
a provider of foreign currency exchange information and offers money
transfer services on its currency data websites (xe.com and x-rates.com).
In addition to money transfers, we also offer customers bill payment
services (primarily in the
and prepaid debit cards, comprehensive check cashing services for a wide
variety of issued checks, along with competitive foreign currency exchange
services and prepaid mobile top-up. Through our xe brand, we offer cash
management solutions and foreign currency risk management services to
small-to-medium sized businesses.
We have six processing centers inEurope , five inAsia Pacific and two inNorth America . We have 36 principal offices inEurope , 14 inAsia Pacific , 10 inNorth America , three in theMiddle East , two inSouth America and one inAfrica . Our executive offices are located inLeawood, Kansas , USA. With approximately 72% of our revenues denominated in currencies other than theU.S. dollar, any significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates will likely have a significant impact on our results of operations (for a further discussion, see Item 1A - Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 ).
SOURCES OF REVENUES AND CASH FLOW
EFT Processing Segment - Revenues in the EFT Processing Segment, which represented approximately 16% and 15% of total consolidated revenues for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , respectively, are derived from fees charged for transactions made by cardholders on our proprietary network of ATMs, fixed management fees and transaction fees we charge to customers for operating ATMs and processing debit and credit cards under outsourcing and cross-border acquiring agreements, foreign currency exchange margin on DCC transactions, domestic and international surcharge, foreign currency dispensing and other value added services such as advertising, prepaid telecommunication recharges, bill payment, and money transfers provided over ATMs. Revenues in this segment are also derived from cardless payment, banknote recycling, tax refund services, license fees, professional services and maintenance fees for proprietary application software and sales of related hardware.
23
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
epay Segment - Revenues in the epay Segment, which represented approximately 34% and 35% of total consolidated revenues for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , respectively, are primarily derived from commissions or processing fees received from mobile phone operators for the processing and distribution of prepaid mobile airtime and commissions earned from the distribution of other electronic content, vouchers, and physical gifts. The proportion of epay Segment revenues earned from the distribution of prepaid mobile phone time compared with other electronic products has decreased over time, and digital media content now produces approximately 68% of epay Segment revenues. Other electronic content offered by this segment includes digital content such as music, games and software, as well as other products, including mobile wallets, prepaid long distance calling card plans, prepaid Internet plans, prepaid debit cards, gift cards, vouchers, transport payments, lottery payments, bill payment and money transfer. Money Transfer Segment - Revenues in the Money Transfer Segment, which represented approximately 50% of total consolidated revenues for both the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , respectively, are primarily derived from transaction fees, as well as the margin earned from purchasing foreign currency at wholesale exchange rates and selling the foreign currency to customers at retail exchange rates. We have a sending agent network in place comprised of agents, customer service representatives, Company-owned stores, primarily inNorth America ,Europe andMalaysia , and Ria, IME and xe branded websites, along with a worldwide network of correspondent agents, consisting primarily of financial institutions in the transfer destination countries. Sending and correspondent agents each earn fees for cash collection and distribution services, which are recognized as direct operating costs at the time of sale. We offer a money transfer product called Walmart-2-Walmart Money Transfer Service which allows customers to transfer money to and from Walmart stores in theU.S. Our Ria business executes the transfers with Walmart serving as both the sending agent and payout correspondent. Ria earns a lower margin from these transactions than its traditional money transfers; however, the arrangement has added a significant number of transactions to Ria's business. The agreement with Walmart establishes Ria as the only party through which Walmart will sellU.S. domestic money transfers branded with Walmart marks. The agreement is effective untilApril 2023 . Thereafter, it will automatically renew for subsequent one year terms unless either party provides notice to the contrary. The agreement imposes certain obligations on each party, the most significant being service level requirements by Ria and money transfer compliance requirements by Walmart. Any violation of these requirements by Ria could result in an obligation to indemnify Walmart or termination of the contract by Walmart. However, the agreement allows the parties to resolve disputes by mutual agreement without termination of the agreement. Corporate Services, Eliminations and Other - In addition to operating in our principal operating segments described above, our "Corporate Services, Eliminations and Other" category includes non-operating activity, certain inter-segment eliminations and the cost of providing corporate and other administrative services to the operating segments, including most share-based compensation expense. These services are not directly identifiable with our reportable operating segments.
Opportunities and Challenges
The global product markets in which we operate are large and fragmented, which poses both opportunities and challenges for our technology to disrupt new and existing competition. As an organization, our focus is on increasing our market presence through both physical (ATMs, POS terminals, company stores and agent correspondents) and digital assets and providing new and improved products and services for customers through all of our channels, which may in turn drive an increase in the number of transactions on our networks. Each of these opportunities also presents us with challenges, including differentiating our portfolio of products and services in highly competitive markets, the successful development and implementation of our software products and access to financing for expansion.
º The EFT Processing Segment opportunities include physical expansion into
target markets, developing value added products or services, increasing
high value DCC and surcharge transactions and efficiently leveraging our
portfolio of software solutions. Our opportunities are dependent on
renewing and expanding our card acceptance, ATM and POS management andoutsourcing, cash supply and other commercial agreements with customers and
financial institutions. Operational challenges in the EFT Processing
Segment include obtaining and maintaining the required licenses and
sponsorship agreements in markets in which we operate and navigating
frequently changing rules imposed by international card organizations, such
as Visa® and Mastercard®, that govern ATM interchange fees, direct access
fees and other restrictions. Our profitability is dependent on the laws and
regulations that govern DCC transactions, specifically in the E.U., as well
as the laws and regulations of each country that we operate in that may
impact the volume of cross-border and cross-currency transactions. The
timing and amount of revenues in the EFT Processing Segment is uncertain
and unpredictable due to inherent limitations in managing our estate of
ATMs, which is dependent on contracts that cover large numbers of ATMs,
which are complicated by legal and regulatory considerations of local
countries, as well as our customers' decisions whether to outsource ATMs.
24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
º The epay Segment opportunities include renewing existing and negotiating
new agreements in target markets in which we operate, primarily with mobile
operators, digital content providers, financial institutions and retailers.
The overall growth rate in the prepaid mobile phone and digital media
content markets, shifts between prepaid and postpaid services, and our
market share in those respective markets will have a significant impact on
our ability to maintain and grow the epay Segment revenues. There is
significant competition in these markets that may impact our ability to
grow organically and increase the margin we earn and the margin that we pay
to retailers. The profitability of the epay Segment is dependent on our
ability to adapt to new technologies that may compete with POS distribution
of digital content and prepaid mobile airtime, as well as our ability to
leverage cross-selling opportunities with our EFT and Money Transfer
Segments. The epay Segment opportunities may be impacted bygovernment-imposed restrictions on retailers and/or content providers with
whom we partner in countries in which we have a presence, and corresponding
licensure requirements mandated upon such parties to legally operate in
such countries.
º The Money Transfer Segment opportunities include expanding our portfolio of
products and services to new and existing customers around the globe, which
in turn may lead to an increase in transaction volumes. The opportunities
to expand are contingent on our ability to effectively leverage our network
of bank accounts for digital money transfer delivery, maintaining our
physical agent network, cross selling opportunities with our EFT and epay
segments and our penetration into high growth money transfer corridors. The
challenges inherit in these opportunities include maintaining compliance
with all regulatory requirements, maintaining all required licenses,
ensuring the recoverability of funds advanced to agents and the continued
reliance on the technologies required to operate our business. The volume
of transactions processed on our network is impacted by shifts in our
customer base, which can change rapidly with worker migration patterns and
changes in unbanked populations across the globe. Foreign regulations that
impact cross-border migration patterns and the money transfer markets can
significantly impact our ability to grow the number of transactions on our
network.
For all segments, our continued expansion may involve additional acquisitions that could divert our resources and management time and require integration of new assets with our existing networks and services. Our ability to effectively manage our growth has required us to expand our operating systems and employee base, particularly at the management level, which has added incremental operating costs. An inability to continue to effectively manage expansion could have a material adverse effect on our business, growth, financial condition or results of operations. Inadequate technology and resources would impair our ability to maintain current processing technology and efficiencies, as well as deliver new and innovative services to compete in the marketplace.
COVID-19
The outbreak of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has resulted in varying degrees of border and business closures, travel restrictions and other social distancing orders in most of the countries where we operate during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020. These types of orders were first put into effect in lateFebruary 2020 or earlyMarch 2020 . As the number and rate of new cases has fluctuated in various locations around the global, the closures, restrictions and other social distancing orders have been modified, rescinded and/or re-imposed. Some version of these orders remains in almost every location in which we operate. Although vaccines for COVID-19 are becoming widely available in theU.S. and parts ofEurope , their availability is still limited in many parts of the world where we operate. In addition, the rate of acceptance and long term effectiveness of the vaccines, especially against new variants, are still unknown. The EFT Segment has experienced declines in certain transaction volumes due to these restrictions, especially high-margin cross-border transactions. The epay Segment has experienced the impacts of consumer movement restrictions in certain markets, while other markets have been positively impacted where we have a higher mix of digital distribution or a higher concentration of retailers that are deemed essential and have remained open during the pandemic. The Money Transfer Segment continues to be impacted by the pandemic-related restrictions in certain markets that limit customers' ability to access our network of company-owned stores and agents. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic driven impacts, we implemented several key measures to offset the impact across the business, including renegotiating certain third party contracts, reducing travel, decreasing capital expenditures, and increasing the number of seasonal ATM deactivations (placing them in dormancy status, terminating, or re-negotiating) in more sites and more markets. 25

Impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates
Our revenues and local expenses are recorded in the functional currencies of our operating entities, and then are translated intoU.S. dollars for reporting purposes; therefore, amounts we earn outside theU.S. are negatively impacted by a strongerU.S. dollar and positively impacted by a weakerU.S. dollar. If significant, in our discussion we will refer to the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in our comparison of operating segment results. 26

Revenues
EFT Processing Segment total revenues were $113.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2021 , an increase of $35.0 million or 45% compared to the same
period in 2020. EFT Processing Segment total revenues were $200.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2021 , a decrease of $23.8 million or 11% compared
to the same period in 2020. Beginning in the late first quarter of 2020, the
COVID-19 related government-imposed border and business closures, travel
restrictions and other orders significantly reduced tourism throughout Europe ,
which led to a significant decrease in high-margin cross-border transactions
(DCC) and surcharge transactions from March through June of 2020. During 2021,
we began increasing our estate of active ATMs as certain countries began easing
COVID-19 restrictions; however, many countries continue to have restrictions
that prevented our volume of DCC and surcharge transactions from returning to
pre-COVID-19 levels. Revenues increased for the three months ended June 30, 2021
compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to the reactivation of
ATMs and gradual increase in high-margin cross-border transaction volumes during
2021. Revenues decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the
same period in 2020 primarily because the six months ended June 30, 2020
included two months of pre-COVID-19 level DCC and surcharge transaction volumes
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 which had various levels of
restrictions throughout the entire six month period. Foreign currency movements
increased revenues by approximately $7.1 million and $10.3 million for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2021 , respectively, compared to the same periods
in 2020.
Average monthly revenues per ATM increased to $934 for the three months ended
June 30, 2021 compared to $648 for the same period in 2020. Average monthly
revenues per ATM decreased to $867 for the six months ended June 30, 2021
compared to $878 for the same period in 2020. Revenues per transaction decreased
to $0.11 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $0.12 for the same
period in 2020. Revenues per transaction decreased to $0.10 for the
six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $0.15 for the same period in 2020.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021 , the increase in average monthly
revenues per ATM were attributable to the limited easing of COVID-19
restrictions throughout Europe and corresponding increase in cross-border DCC
and surcharge transactions and the decrease in revenue per transaction
was attributable to a shift in the mix of our transaction volume as we
experienced a significant increase in the volume of lower revenue transactions
(processing bank wallet transactions and payments for e-commerce sites)
primarily in our Asia Pacific region. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 ,
the average monthly revenues per ATM and revenues per transaction decreased due
to the effect of lower DCC and surcharge revenues during January and February of
2021 compared to January and February 2020 prior to COVID-19's initial
emergence.

Direct operating costs
EFT Processing Segment direct operating costs were$82.7 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , an increase of$20.2 million or 32% compared to the same period in 2020. EFT Processing Segment direct operating costs were$152.3 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , an increase of$2.3 million or 2% compared to the same period in 2020. Direct operating costs primarily consist of site rental fees, cash delivery costs, cash supply costs, maintenance, insurance, telecommunications, payment scheme processing fees, data center operations-related personnel, as well as the processing centers' facility-related costs and other processing center-related expenses and commissions paid to retail merchants, banks and card processors involved with POS DCC transactions. For the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , the increase in direct operating costs was primarily due to the increase in the number of ATMs under management inEurope and the increase in transaction volumes. For the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , the increase in direct operating costs was primarily due to the weakening of theU.S. dollar and increase in transaction volumes, partially offset by the decrease in number of ATMs under management. Foreign currency movements increased direct operating costs by approximately$5.5 million and$8.7 million for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020.
Gross profit
Gross profit, which is calculated as revenues less direct operating costs, was$30.8 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , an increase of$14.8 million or 93% compared to$16.0 million for the same period in 2020. Gross profit was$48.3 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , a decrease of$26.0 million or 35% compared to$74.3 million for the same period in 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues ("gross margin") increased to 27.1% and decreased to 24.1% for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , respectively, compared to 20.4% and 33.1% for the same periods in 2020, respectively. For the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , the increase in gross profit and gross margin was primarily driven by the increase in cross-border transactions and the reactivation of ATMs. For the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , the decrease in gross profit and gross margin was primarily attributable to the lower DCC transactions and domestic and international surcharge transactions during the months of January andFebruary 2021 compared to January andFebruary 2020 , as these months in the prior period were before the emergence of COVID-19. Salaries and benefits Salaries and benefits expenses were$24.1 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , an increase of$2.8 million or 13% compared to the same period in 2020. Salaries and benefits expenses were$47.7 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , an increase of$4.3 million or 10% compared to the same period in 2020. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily driven by an increase in foreign currency movements and an increase in bonus expense. Foreign currency movements in the countries where we employ our workforce increased these expenses by$1.8 million and$3.1 million for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased to 21.2% and increased to 23.8% for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , respectively, compared to 27.1% and 19.3% for the same periods in 2020, respectively.

Foreign currency exchange activity includes gains and losses on certain foreign currency exchange derivative contracts and the impact of remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the local currency of each of our subsidiaries give rise to foreign currency exchange gains and losses. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses that result from remeasurement of these assets and liabilities are recorded in net income. The majority of our foreign currency exchange gains or losses are due to the remeasurement of intercompany loans which are not considered a long-term investment in nature and are in a currency other than the functional currency of one of the parties to the loan. For example, we make intercompany loans based in euros from our corporate division, which is composed ofU.S. dollar functional currency entities, to certain European entities that use the euro as the functional currency. As theU.S. dollar strengthens against the euro, foreign currency exchange losses are recognized by our corporate entities because the number of euros to be received in settlement of the loans decreases inU.S. dollar terms. Conversely, in this example, in periods where theU.S. dollar weakens, our corporate entities will record foreign currency exchange gains. We recorded a net foreign currency exchange gain of$0.1 million and a loss of$3.9 million for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , respectively, compared to a net foreign currency exchange gain of$2.5 million and a net foreign currency exchange loss of$16.3 million for the same periods in 2020, respectively. These realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses reflect the fluctuation in the value of theU.S. dollar against the currencies of the countries in which we operated during the respective periods. 34

INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Our effective income tax rate was 58.9% and 99.9% for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , respectively, compared to (8.4)% and (11.1)% for the same periods in 2020, respectively. Our effective income tax rate for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 was higher than the applicable statutory income tax rate of 21% as a result of certain foreign earnings being subject to higher local statutory tax rates, the non-recognition of tax benefits from losses in certain foreign countries where we have a limited history of profitable earnings and as a result of an increase in the valuation allowance in certain jurisdictions relating to the reversal of tax benefits recognized in the first quarter of 2021 for continuing net operating losses. Our effective income tax rate for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 was different than the applicable statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the non-deductible goodwill impairment charge during the second quarter of 2020 and as a result of an increase in the valuation allowance in certain jurisdictions relating to the reversal of tax benefits recognized in the first quarter of 2020 for net operating losses in those jurisdictions which have a limited history of profitable earnings.

NET INCOME (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO EURONET
Net income attributable toEuronet was$8.6 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , an increase of$124.4 million or 107% compared to the net loss in the same period in 2020. For the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , the increase in net income was primarily attributable to the$104.6 million decrease in non-cash goodwill impairment charges and a$66.1 million increase in gross profit, partially offset by a$30.1 million increase in salaries and benefits, a$5.8 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, a$2.4 million decrease in net foreign currency exchange gains, and an increase in other expenses aggregating$8.0 million . Net loss attributable toEuronet was ($0.03 million ) for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , an increase of$113.9 million or 100% compared to the net loss in the same period in 2020. For the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , the increase in net income was primarily attributable to the$104.6 million decrease in non-cash goodwill impairment charges, a$59.8 million increase in gross profit and a$12.4 million decrease in net foreign currency exchange losses, partially offset by a$44.5 million increase in salaries and benefits, a$7.0 million increase in income tax expense, and an increase in other expenses aggregating$11.4 million .
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital
As ofJune 30, 2021 , we had working capital of$1,280.2 million , which is calculated as the difference between total current assets and total current liabilities, compared to working capital of$1,510.5 million as ofDecember 31, 2020 . The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the$249.6 million decrease in the outstanding balance on the Credit Facility during the six months endedJune 30, 2021 . Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.79 and 1.81 atJune 30, 2021 andDecember 31, 2020 , respectively. We require substantial working capital to finance operations. The Money Transfer Segment funds the payout of the majority of our consumer-to-consumer money transfer services before receiving the benefit of amounts collected from customers by agents. Working capital needs increase due to weekends and banking holidays. As a result, we may report more or less working capital for the Money Transfer Segment based solely upon the day on which the reporting period ends. The epay Segment produces positive working capital, some of which is restricted in connection with the administration of its customer collection and vendor remittance activities. In our EFT Processing Segment, we obtain a significant portion of the cash required to operate our ATMs through various cash supply arrangements, the amount of which is not recorded onEuronet's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has$994.5 million of unrestricted cash as ofJune 30, 2021 compared to$1,420.3 million as ofDecember 31, 2020 . The decrease in unrestricted cash was primarily due to the$249.6 million net repayment of the outstanding balance on the Credit Facility during the six months endedJune 30, 2021 and the$154.0 million increase in ATM cash as unrestricted cash was utilized to fill the additional active ATMs. Including the$565.1 million of cash in ATMs atJune 30, 2021 , the Company has access to$1,559.6 million in available cash, and$949.7 million available under the Credit Facility with no significant long-term debt principal payments untilMarch 2025 .

Operating activity cash flow Cash flows provided by operating activities were$173.3 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 compared to$178.6 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease in operating cash flows was primarily due to fluctuations in working capital mainly associated with the timing of the settlement processes with content providers in the epay Segment, with correspondents in the Money Transfer Segment, and with card organizations and banks in the EFT Processing Segment. Investing activity cash flow Cash flows used in investing activities were$48.3 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 compared to$48.6 million for the same period in 2020.

As of
Convertible debt - OnMarch 18, 2019 , we completed the sale of$525.0 million in principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2049 ("Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as ofMarch 18, 2019 (the "Indenture"), by and between us andU.S. Bank National Association , as trustee.

In addition, we may redeem some or all of these notes on or afterFebruary 22, 2026 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. Other debt obligations - Certain of our subsidiaries have available credit lines and overdraft facilities to generally supplement short-term working capital requirements, when necessary. There were$0.8 million and$0.9 million outstanding under these other obligation arrangements as ofJune 30, 2021 andDecember 31, 2020 , respectively.
Other uses of capital
Capital expenditures and needs - Total capital expenditures for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 were$45.1 million . These capital expenditures were primarily for the purchase and installation of ATMs in key under-penetrated markets, the purchase of POS terminals for the epay and Money Transfer Segments, and office, data center and company store computer equipment and software. Total capital expenditures for 2021 are currently estimated to range from approximately$100 million to$105 million . At current and projected cash flow levels, we anticipate that cash generated from operations, together with cash on hand and amounts available under our Credit Facility and other existing and potential future financing will be sufficient to meet our debt, leasing, and capital expenditure obligations. If our capital resources are not sufficient to meet these obligations, we will seek to refinance our debt and/or issue additional equity under terms acceptable to us. However, we can offer no assurances that we will be able to obtain favorable terms for the refinancing of any of our debt or other obligations or for the issuance of additional equity. Inflation and functional currencies Generally, the countries in which we operate have experienced low and stable inflation in recent years. Therefore, the local currency in each of these markets is the functional currency. Currently, we do not believe that inflation will have a significant effect on our results of operations or financial position. We continually review inflation and the functional currency in each of the countries where we operate.
