Key financial statistics in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the third quarter of 2016 include:

·                  Total revenues of $402.0 million, up 22% from $328.3 million and driven by the DCPayments and Spark acquisitions completed during January 2017.

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company recognized asset impairments in its Australia & New Zealand segment totaling in the aggregate $216.0 million ($193.5 million net of tax).

·                  Adjusted EBITDA of $99.9 million, up 15% from $86.6 million in the prior year.

“The third quarter was a dynamic quarter where we performed well operationally under the challenges of several hurricanes and earthquakes. This quarter also marks my last earnings call as I retire at year’s end. I believe I leave behind two great assets. The first is the unique, increasingly global “neighborhood ATM” platform delivering a critical service in payments — convenient access to cash. It is a unique infrastructure platform designed for growth. The second great asset is the team now in place to lead Cardtronics to the next stage of growth. I am truly privileged to have led Cardtronics for nearly eight years. Under the leadership of my successor, Ed West, I am confident that the great potential of the Cardtronics platform will be realized for our shareholders,” commented Steve Rathgaber, Cardtronics’ chief executive officer.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

·                  Secured ATM operating contracts representing approximately 1,800 locations.

·                  Expanded our Allpoint Network to include 1,500 additional ATMs in Speedway convenience stores.

·                  The U.K. Competition and Markets Authority approved the Company to maintain its ownership of the U.K. operations of DCPayments.

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Consolidated revenues totaled $402.0 million for the third quarter of 2017, representing a 22% increase from $328.3 million from the same period of 2016, driven by the DirectCash Payments Inc. (“DCPayments”) and Spark ATM Systems Pty Ltd. (“Spark”) acquisitions completed during January 2017. ATM operating revenues for the third quarter of 2017 were up 24% from the same period of 2016.

Driven primarily by the acquisitions completed during January 2017, ATM operating revenues in North America increased 12% and ATM operating revenues in Europe & Africa increased 14% from the same period of 2016. ATM operating revenues in our Australia & New Zealand segment totaled $35.4 million during the third quarter of 2017. The Company acquired the Australia & New Zealand segment via the DCPayments acquisition, completed in January 2017, and as a result, there were no comparable revenues in the third quarter of 2016.

GAAP Net Loss for the third quarter of 2017 totaled $175.6 million compared to GAAP Net Income of $27.5 million in the same period of 2016. The GAAP Net Loss was the result of asset impairments in the Australia & New Zealand
