Euronet Posts Q1 Profit of $37.5M, Sees 10–15% EPS Growth
Euronet reported Q1 profit of $37.5 million and $1.58 adjusted EPS on $1.01 billion revenue, beating estimates by $47.5 million and $0.16 per share. Digital Ria transactions surged 35% while ATM-as-a-Service deals and REN platform contracts bolstered EFT revenue, and management forecasts 10–15% full-year adjusted EPS growth.
1. Q1 Financial Results
Euronet posted a GAAP profit of $37.5 million, or $0.83 per share, and delivered $1.01 billion in revenue, outperforming consensus forecasts of $962.5 million and driving $1.58 adjusted EPS, up from estimates of $1.42.
2. Strategic Segment Drivers
The EFT segment expanded through ATM-as-a-Service and REN platform agreements, creating recurring banking infrastructure revenue, while Ria digital transactions jumped 35% as customers shifted toward digital payouts. Money Transfer margins held firm thanks to a mix favoring account-based payouts and efficient routing despite a 1% remittance excise tax and U.S. retail pressures from immigration policy changes.
3. Outlook and Risks
Management projects full-year adjusted EPS growth of 10–15%, supported by continued digital channel recovery and anticipated improvements in ATM interchange and direct access fees in Europe. Potential headwinds include geopolitical volatility in the Middle East, deinstallation of about 1,400 underperforming ATMs, and refinancing a €700 million bond at roughly 200 basis points higher interest.
