Cardtronics Files Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2006

HOUSTON , April 2, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Cardtronics, Inc. ("Cardtronics" or the "Company"), the world's largest non-bank owner/operator of ATMs, announced today that it had filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Form 10-K" or the "Report") with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Report is available on the Company's website at www.cardtronics.com.

Additionally, the Company announced that, following the issuance of its unaudited fourth quarter 2006 results on March 8, 2007, and in conjunction with the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company performed additional analysis of its consolidated income tax provision and associated balance sheet accounts. This analysis resulted in a $0.2 million increase in the Company's deferred income tax provision for the fourth quarter of 2006, as well as certain reclassifications between the Company's current and non-current deferred tax assets and liabilities. The adjustment to the Company's income tax provision did not impact the Company's fourth quarter or full year revenues, operating expenses, operating income, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), or cash flows from operations. However, the Company's fourth quarter net income and full year net loss amounts were impacted, as reflected in the table below:

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and should not be used as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. While EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of operating performance and the ability to meet debt service requirements, it is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation. Adjusted EBITDA, as referenced herein, is calculated in the manner similar to that in the Company's bank credit facility and, as such, is not comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies. The Company believes that referencing Adjusted EBITDA will be helpful to its investors, as it believes such measure is used by the lenders under the Company's bank credit facility in their evaluation of the Company.
