Cardtronics (CATM) Provides Business Update

Cardtronics (Nasdaq: CATM) announced today an update on recent business performance. The Company continues to see improvement in its business across geographies as governments further relax and remove restrictions implemented to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

Edward H. West, Cardtronics CEO, commented, "Our business continues to improve across our geographies as the restrictions implemented due to COVID-19 are lifted. We are also encouraged by our recent new business execution, solid pipeline of new business opportunities, and strong growth with Fintech partners. We continue to see positive industry trends, with both accelerating bank branch footprint rationalization and consumer demand for cash, with record high levels of cash in circulation. Our end-to-end platform provides the cash solutions that financial institutions need and consumers want.”

With two and a half months of the third quarter complete, the Company now estimates that its third quarter Adjusted EBITDA will approximate $70 million, reflecting recent business performance and outlook for the remainder of the quarter. Encouraging transaction activity across several markets, continued effective cost management and more favorable exchange rates are helping drive an improved profitability outlook for the third quarter. Included in this estimate are approximately $10 million in incremental benefits in the quarter following the recent legal decision by the Supreme Court in the U.K., removing business rates for certain ATMs. The Company now expects an Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 25% for the third quarter.

The table below shows recent same-store withdrawal transaction performance in the U.S. since the beginning of 2020, with the third quarter to date showing -3% versus -14% in the second quarter.
