NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

(1) General and Basis of Presentation

General

Cardtronics, Inc., along with its wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") provides convenient consumer financial services through its network of automated teller machines ("ATMs") and multi-function financial services kiosks. As of September 30, 2013, the Company provided services to over80,400 devices across its portfolio, which included approximately 63,500 devices located in all 50 states of the United States ("U.S.") as well as in the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, approximately 11,500 devices throughout the United Kingdom ("U.K."), approximately 800 devices throughout Germany, approximately 2,000 devices throughout Canada, andapproximately 2,600 devices throughout Mexico. Included in the number of devices in the U.S. are approximately 2,200 multi-function financial services kiosks that, in addition to traditional ATM functions such as cash dispensing and bank account balance inquiries, perform other consumer financial services, including bill payments, check cashing, remote deposit capture (which is deposit taking at ATMs using electronic imaging), and money transfers. Also included in the total count of 80,400 devices are approximately 13,900 devices for which the Company provides various forms of managed services solutions, which may include services such as transaction processing, monitoring, maintenance, cash management, communications, and customer service.

Through its network, the Company provides ATM management and equipment-related services (typically under multi-year contracts) to large, nationally and regionally-known retail merchants as well as smaller retailers and operators of facilities such as shopping malls and airports. In doing so, the Company provides its retail partners with a compelling automated financial services solution that helps attract and retain customers, and in turn, increases the likelihood that the devices placed at their facilities will be utilized.

In addition to its retail merchant relationships, the Company also partners with leading national financial institutions to brand selected ATMs and financial services kiosks within its network, including Citibank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Sovereign Bank, N.A., PNC Bank, N.A., Frost Bank, The Bank of Nova Scotia (“Scotiabank”) in Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, and Grupo Financiero Banorte, S.A. de C.V. in Mexico. As of September 30, 2013,  approximately18,400 of the Company’s domestic devices, approximately 2,000 of the Company’s ATMs in Mexico,and approximately 500 of the Company’s ATMs in Canada were under contract with financial institutions to place their logos on those machines, and to provide convenient surcharge-free access for their banking customers.

The Company also owns and operates the Allpoint network, the largest surcharge-free ATM network within the U.S. (based on the number of participating ATMs). The Allpoint network, which has more than 55,000 participating ATMs globally, provides surcharge-free ATM access to customers of participating financial institutions that lack a significant ATM network in exchange for either a fixed monthly fee per cardholder or a set fee per transaction that is paid by the financial institutions who are members of the network.  The Allpoint network includes a majority of the Company’s ATMs in the U.S., U.K., Puerto Rico and Mexico, approximately a  quarter of the Company’s ATMs in Canada, and over 5,000 locations in Australia through a partnership with a local ATM owner and operator in that market. Allpoint also works with financial institutions that manage stored-value debit card programs on behalf of corporate entities and governmental agencies, including general purpose, payroll and electronic benefits transfer (“EBT”) cards. Under these programs, the issuing financial institutions pay Allpoint a fee per issued stored-value card or per transaction in return for allowing the users of those cards surcharge-free access to Allpoint’s participating ATM network.

Finally, the Company owns and operates an electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) transaction processing platform that provides transaction processing services to its network of ATMs and financial services kiosks as well as other ATMs under managed services arrangements.

Basis of Presentation

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Form 10-Q") has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable to interim financial information. Because this is an interim period filing presented using a condensed format, it does not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. You should read this Form 10-Q along with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012  (the "2012 Form 10-K"), which includes a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies and other disclosures.

The financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and for the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are unaudited. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012 was derived from the audited balance sheet filed in the 2012 Form 10-K. In management's opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's interim and prior period results have been made. The results of operations for the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

5

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cardtronics, Inc. and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Because the Company owns a majority (51.0%) interest in, and realizes a majority of the earnings and/or losses of, Cardtronics Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“Cardtronics Mexico”), this entity is reflected as a consolidated subsidiary in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, with the remaining ownership interests not held by the Company being reflected as noncontrolling interests.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could be material to the financial statements.

Cost of ATM Operating Revenues and Gross Profit Presentation

The Company presents Cost of ATM operating revenues and Gross profit within its Consolidated Statements of Operations exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization expense related to ATMs and ATM-related assets. The following table sets forth the amounts excluded from Cost of ATM operating revenues and Gross profit for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,

Depreciation and accretion expenses related to ATMs and ATM-related assets	$	14,846	$	13,983	$	42,982	$	39,580
Amortization expense		7,998		5,565		19,827		16,452
Total depreciation, accretion, and amortization expenses excluded from Cost of ATM operating revenues and Gross profit	$	22,844	$	19,548	$	62,809	$	56,032

(2) Acquisitions

Acquisition of the Cardpoint ATM Portfolio

On August 7, 2013,  Cardtronics Europe Limited (“Cardtronics Europe”), a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,entered into, and consummated the transactions contemplated by, the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) including thepurchase  of all of the outstanding shares issued by Cardpoint Limited(“Cardpoint”) from Payzone Ventures Limited (the “Seller”) and the individuals named as warrantors in the Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Cardtronics Europe acquired all of the outstanding shares issued by Cardpoint for purchase consideration of £100.0 million($153.5 million) in cash, which included the aggregate amount required to be paid (including principal and interest) in order to fully discharge all of Cardpoint’s outstanding indebtedness to the Seller at closing. Additionally, as part of the Purchase Agreement, Cardtronics Europe entered into a locked box agreement, under which additional cash at closing was paid to the Seller in the amount of approximately£5.9 million ($9.0 million) as additional consideration for earnings since February 28, 2013.  No further working capital adjustments are required under the Purchase Agreement. The Company also paid to certain members of Cardpoint’s management transaction bonuses on behalf of the Seller in an aggregate amount of approximately£0.5 million($0.7 million), pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The total amount paid for the acquisition was approximately £105.4 million ($161.8 million) at closing, which was financed through borrowings under the Company’s amended revolving credit facility.  

As a result of the Cardpoint acquisition, the Company significantly increased the size of its European operations.  Cardpoint operated approximately 7,100 ATMs in the U.K. and approximately 800 ATMs in Germany, substantially all of which were owned by Cardpoint.  Approximately one fourth of the ATMs deployed in the U.K. are placed with well-known multi-location retailers, whereas the remainder of the ATMs in the U.K., and most of the ATMs in Germany, are primarily placed with individual merchants at their retail locations. 

The results of operations of the acquired Cardpoint portfolio have been included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations subsequent to the August 7, 2013 acquisition date. Revenue and net income of $17.8million and $3.5  million, respectively, were included in both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013. The earnings contribution excludes approximately $3.6million in acquisition-related expenses incurred during the quarterrelated to this acquisition. The acquisition-related expenses incurred year-to-date for this acquisition totaled$4.5million.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (amounts in thousands). The total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. This allocation resulted in goodwill of approximately $81.3million, all of which has been assigned to the Company's Europe reporting segment, which now includes operations from both the U.K. and Germany. The recognized goodwill is primarily attributable to expected synergies. None of  the goodwill or intangible

6

asset amountsare expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The Company expects to complete its purchase accounting during the fourth quarter of 2013, when it plans to finalize the fair value measurement of acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

The fair values of intangible assets acquired have been initially estimated by utilizing a discounted cash flow approach, with the assistance of an independent appraisal firm. The intangible assets acquired as part of the Cardpoint acquisition are being amortized on a straight-line basis, and the preliminary fair values consist of the following: 

	Fair Values		Useful Lives	Weighted Average Period Before Next Renewal

Pro Forma Results of Operations

The following table presents the unaudited pro forma combined results of operations of the Company and the acquired Cardpoint portfolios for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments including: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) the impact of certain fair value adjustments such as depreciation on the acquired property and equipment, and (iii) interest expense adjustment for historical long-term debt of Cardpoint that was repaid and interest expense on additional borrowings by the Company to fund the acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma financial results do not reflect the impact of other acquisitions consummated by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (see further details below), as the impact would not be material to its condensed consolidated results of operations. The unaudited pro forma financial results assume that the Cardpoint acquisition occurred on January 1, 2012, and are not necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had those transactions been completed on that date. Furthermore, it does not reflect the impacts of any potential operating efficiencies, savings from expected synergies, or costs to integrate the operations. The unaudited pro forma financial results are not necessarily indicative of the future results to be expected for the consolidated operations.

Other Acquisitions

OnMarch 7, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of i-design group plc (“i-design”), a Scotland-based provider and developer of marketing and advertising software and services for ATM owners.Additionally, on May 1, 2013 and June 3, 2013, the Company acquired the majority of the assets of Aptus Group, LLC (“Aptus”) and Merrimak ATM Group, LLC (“Merrimak”), respectively.  Both Aptus and Merrimak were providers of ATM services to fleets of approximately 3,300 ATMs and 4,800 ATMs, respectively, consisting primarily of merchant-owned machines.

The i-design, Aptus, and Merrimakacquisitions, both on an individual basis and on a combined basis, did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

(3) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company calculates the fair value of stock-based awards granted to employees and directors on the date of grant and recognizes the calculated fair value, net of estimated forfeitures, as compensation expense over the requisite service periods of the related awards. The following table reflects the total stock-based compensation expense amounts included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods indicated: 

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
	(In thousands)
Cost of ATM operating revenues	$	239	$	231	$	651	$	754
Selling, general, and administrative expenses		2,932		2,452		8,264		7,937
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	3,171	$	2,683	$	8,915	$	8,691

The increase in stock-based compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year was due to additional expense recognition from the additional grants made during the periods. All grants during the periods above were made under the Company's Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2007 Stock Incentive Plan").

Restricted Stock Awards.  The number of the Company's outstanding Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”) as of September 30, 2013, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, are presented below:

	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
RSAs outstanding as of January 1, 2013		632,107	$	16.36
Granted		97,401	$	26.86
Vested		(232,913)	$	14.57
Forfeited		(71,872)	$	24.30
RSAs outstanding as of September 30, 2013		424,723	$	18.38

8

As of September 30, 2013, the unrecognized compensation expense associated with all outstanding restricted share grants was approximately $4.6million,  which will be recognized on a straight-line basis over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately 2.2 years.

Restricted Stock Units.  In the first quarter of each year since 2011, the Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under its Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), which is anannual equity award program under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. The ultimate number of RSUs to be earned and outstanding are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Committee") on an annual basis, and are based on the Company's achievement of certain performance levels during the calendar year of its grant. The majority of these grants have both a performance-based and a service-based vesting schedule (“Performance-RSUs”), and the Company recognizes the related compensation expense based on the estimated performance levels that management believes will ultimately be met. Starting with the grants made in 2013, a portion of the awards have only a service-based vesting schedule (“Time-RSUs”), for which the associated expense is recognized ratably over four years.  Performance-RSUs and Time-RSUsare convertible into the Company’s common stock after the passage of the vesting periods, which are 24,  36, and 48 months from January 31 of the grant year, at the rate of 50%, 25%, and 25%, respectively. Performance-RSUs will be earned only if the Company achieves certain performance levels. Although the RSUs are not considered to be earned and outstanding until at least the minimum performance metrics are met, the Company recognizes the related compensation expense over the requisite service period (or to an employee’s qualified retirement date, if earlier) using a graded vesting methodology. RSUs are also granted outside of LTIPs, with or without performance-based vesting requirements.

The number of the Company's non-vested RSUs as of September 30, 2013, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, are presented below:

	Number of Units		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested RSUs as of January 1, 2013		749,948	$	20.01
Granted		262,744	$	31.56
Vested		(261,503)	$	17.00
Forfeited		(12,529)	$	22.51
Non-vested RSUs as of September 30, 2013		738,660	$	25.14

The above table only includes earned RSUs; therefore, the Performance-RSUs granted in 2013 but not yet earned are not included, but the Time-RSUs are included as granted.

As of September 30, 2013, the unrecognized compensation expense associated with earned RSUs was approximately $10.0 million, which will be recognized using a graded vesting schedule for Performance-RSUs and a straight-line vesting schedule for Time-RSUs, over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately 2.8 years.

Options.  The number of the Company's outstanding stock options as of September 30, 2013, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, are presented below:

	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Options outstanding as of January 1, 2013		552,799	$	9.68
Exercised		(212,499)	$	9.69
Forfeited		(1,875)	$	11.05
Options outstanding as of September 30, 2013		338,425	$	9.67
Options vested and exercisable as of September 30, 2013		332,675	$	9.64

As of September 30, 2013, the unrecognized compensation expense associated with outstanding options was approximately $12,000,  which will be recognized on a straight-line basis over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately 0.4 years.  

(4) Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company reports its earnings per share under the two-class method. Under this method, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share (as well as their related impact on the net income available to common stockholders) when their impact on net income available to common stockholders is anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 included all outstanding stock options and shares of restricted stock, which were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for these periods.

9

Additionally, the shares of restricted stock issued by the Company have a non-forfeitable right to cash dividends, if and when declared by the Company.  Accordingly, restricted shares are considered to be participating securities and, as such, the Company has allocated the undistributed earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 among the Company's outstanding shares of common stock and issued but unvested restricted shares, as follows:

Earnings(Loss) per Share (in thousands, excluding share and per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2013						Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
	Loss		Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		Loss Per Share		Income		Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		Earnings Per Share
Basic and Diluted:
Net (loss) income attributable to controlling interests and available to common stockholders	$	(8,408)					$	16,349

Net income available to common stockholders	$	12,460		43,669,756	$	0.29	$	31,253		43,333,407	$	0.72
Diluted:
Effect of dilutive securities:
Add: Undistributed earnings allocated to restricted shares	$	437					$	1,137
Stock options added to the denominator under the treasury stock method				375,265						450,127
Less: Undistributed earnings reallocated to restricted shares		(434)						(1,126)
Net income available to common stockholders and assumed conversions	$	12,463		44,045,021	$	0.28	$	31,264		43,783,534	$	0.71

The computation of diluted earnings per share excluded potentially dilutive common shares related to restricted stock (including both RSAs and RSUs)  of 492,376 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2013,  and 592,130 and 646,503 shares for the three and nine

10

months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, because the effect of including these shares in the computation would have been anti-dilutive.

(5) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, Net

Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net is displayed as a separate component of Stockholders' equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following tables present the changes in the balances of each component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013:

___________
(1) Net of deferred income tax benefit of $15,159 and $27,412 as of September 30, 2013 and January 1, 2013, respectively.
(2) Net of deferred income tax expense of $659 and $11,594 for Other comprehensive income before reclassification and Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net, respectively. See Note 12.

The Company records unrealized gains and losses related to its interest rate swaps net of estimated taxes in the Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net line item within Stockholders' equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets since it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to realize the benefits associated with its net deferred tax asset positions in the future.

The Company currently believes that the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries will be reinvested for an indefinite period of time. Accordingly, no deferred taxes have been provided for the differences between the Company's book basis and underlying tax basis in these subsidiaries or on the foreign currency translation adjustment amounts.

(6) Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $13.4 million recorded for an insurance recovery receivable.  The Company collected this entire amount from its insurer in January 2013.

(8) Accrued Liabilities

Accrued liabilities consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
	(In thousands)
Accrued merchant fees	$	32,153	$	23,510
Accrued merchant settlement amounts		28,827		9,255

Accrued maintenance fees		4,642		4,865
Accrued cash rental and management fees		3,732		4,067
Accrued interest rate swap payments		2,139		2,299
Accrued interest expense		1,813		5,753
Accrued purchases		1,693		2,084
Accrued ATM telecommunications costs		1,126		1,254
Accrued processing costs		704		1,510
Other accrued expenses		18,794		9,569
Total	$	124,496	$	80,112

The increase in Accrued merchant settlement amounts was primarily related to the increase in merchant-owned arrangements as a result of acquisitions completed during 2013. The increase in the accruedtaxes line above relates to increased estimated liabilities for U.K. business rates (similar to property taxes), which increased significantly during the three months ended September 30, 2013,as the governmental agency responsible for assessing property values in the U.K. materially changed its approach for locating and assessing ATM sites and is now also seeking to recover assessments for past periods dating back to 2010 for some of the Company’s ATM locations in the U.K.. The Company has no statutory responsibility to self-assess property tax, but instead, must pay business rates invoices when they are invoiced. Prior to the third quarter of 2013, only a minority of its ATMs had been assessed business rates. While the Company believes that there are numerous potential longer-term mitigation strategies to partially offset this increased operating cost, the Company recorded a charge of $9.2 million as an estimate of its expected liability through September 2013 based on the information available as of that date.

(9) Long-Term Debt

The Company's long-term debt consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
	(In thousands)
8.25% Senior subordinated notes due September 2018	$	200,000	$	200,000
Revolving credit facility, including swing-line credit facility (weighted-average combined interest rate of 2.1% and 2.2% as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively)		256,066		152,000
Equipment financing notes		1,704		2,819
Total		457,770		354,819
Less: current portion		1,387		1,467
Total long-term debt, excluding current portion	$	456,383	$	353,352

Revolving Credit Facility

As of September 30, 2013, the Company's revolving credit facility provided for $375.0 million in borrowings and letters of credit (subject to the covenants contained within the facility) and had a termination date of July 2016.The revolving credit facility was amended on August 5, 2013, in anticipation of the completion of the Cardpoint acquisition.This amendment expanded the borrowing capacity from $250.0 million to $375.0 million and amended certain covenants to allow for certain indebtedness, investments, acquisitions, intercompany loans and dispositions of assets made in connection with the Cardpoint acquisition. There were no other material modifications made to the Company's revolving credit facility.

This revolving credit facility includes a $15.0 million swing-line facility, an  $85.0 million foreign currency sub-limit, and a $20.0 million letter of credit sub-limit. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a variable rate, based upon the Company's total leverage ratio and the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or Alternative Base Rate (as defined in the agreement) at the Company's option. Additionally, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. Substantially all of the Company's assets, including the stock of its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the stock of its foreign subsidiaries, are pledged to secure borrowings made under the revolving credit facility. Furthermore, each of the Company's domestic subsidiaries has guaranteed the

13

Company's obligations under the revolving credit facility. There are currently no restrictions on the ability of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends directly to us.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants and ratios under the facility, which are described in the 2012 Form 10-K and remain unchanged.  

As of September 30, 2013, $256.1 million was outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Company has posted a $2.0 million letter of credit serving to secure the overdraft facility of its U.K. subsidiary (further discussed below) and a $0.1 million letter of credit serving to secure a third-party processing contract in Canada. These letters of credit, which the applicable third-parties may draw upon in the event the Company defaults on the related obligations, reduce the Company’s borrowing capacity under the facility. As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility totaled approximately $116.8 million.

$200.0 Million 8.25% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2018

The $200.0 million 8.25% senior subordinated notes due September 2018 (the "2018 Notes"), which are guaranteed by all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries, contain no maintenance covenants and only limited incurrence covenants, under which the Company has considerable flexibility. Interest under the 2018 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on March 1st and September 1st of each year. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants required under the 2018 Notes.

Other Borrowing Facilities

Cardtronics Mexico equipment financing agreements.Between 2007 and 2010, Cardtronics Mexico entered into several separate five-year equipment financing agreements with a single lender, of which four agreements have outstanding balances as of September 30, 2013. These agreements, which are denominated in pesos and bear interest at an average fixed rate of 9.99%, were utilized for the purchase of ATMs to support growth in the Company’s Mexico operations. As of September 30, 2013,  approximately $22.3 million pesos ($1.7 million U.S.) were outstanding under the agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the loan agreements, the Company has issued guarantees for 51.0% of the obligations under these agreements (consistent with its ownership percentage in Cardtronics Mexico). As of September 30, 2013, the total amount of these guarantees was $11.4 million pesos ($0.9 million U.S.).

Bank Machine overdraft facility.  Bank Machine, Ltd. (“Bank Machine”) has a £1.0 million overdraft facility. This overdraft facility, which bears interest at 1.0% over the bank’s base rate (0.5% as of September 30, 2013) and is secured by a letter of credit posted under the Company’s revolving credit facility as discussed above in the Revolving Credit Facility section, is utilized for general corporate purposes for the Company’s U.K. operations. As of September 30, 2013, there were no amounts outstanding under the overdraft facility.

(10) Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset retirement obligations consist primarily of costs to deinstall the Company's ATMs and costs to restore the ATM sites to their original condition, which are estimated based on current market rates. In most cases, the Company is contractually required to perform this deinstallation and restoration work. For each group of ATMs, the Company has recognized the fair value of the asset retirement obligation as a liability on its balance sheet and capitalized that cost as part of the cost basis of the related asset. The related assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over five years, which is the estimated average time period that an ATM is installed in a location before being deinstalled, and the related liabilities are accreted to their full value over the same period of time.As reflected in the table below, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company revised its estimated future liabilities based on recent actual experience, changes in certain customer-specific estimates and other cost estimate changes. The changes in estimated future costs were recorded as a reduction in the carrying amount of the remaining unamortized asset and will reduce the Company’s depreciation and accretion expense amounts in future periods.

The following table is a summary of the changes in the Company's asset retirement obligation liability for the nine monthsendedSeptember 30, 2013(in thousands):

Asset retirement obligation as of January 1, 2013	$	44,696
Additional obligations		3,205
Estimated obligations assumed in Cardpoint acquisition		17,496
Accretion expense		1,972
Change in estimates		(6,023)
Payments		(1,809)
Foreign currency translation adjustments		(35)
Asset retirement obligation as of September 30, 2013	$	59,502

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including interest rate risk associated with its vault cash rental obligations and, to a lesser extent, borrowings under its revolving credit facility.  The Company is also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to its investments in its foreign subsidiaries.  While the Company does not currently utilize derivative instruments to hedge its foreign currency exchange rate risk, it does utilize interest rate swap contracts to manage the interest rate risk associated with its vault cash rental obligations in the U.S. and the U.K.  The Company does not currently utilize any derivative instruments to manage the interest rate risk associated with its vault cash rental obligations in Mexico, Canada, or Germany, nor does it utilize derivative instruments to manage the interest rate risk associated with borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility.

The interest rate swap contracts entered into with respect to the Company's vault cash rental obligations serve to mitigate the Company's exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of the Company's monthly floating rate vault cash rental obligations to a fixed rate.  The Company has contracts in varying notional amounts through December 31, 2018 for the Company's U.S. vault cash rental obligations.  By converting such amounts to a fixed rate, the impact of future interest rate changes (both favorable and unfavorable) on the Company's monthly vault cash rental expense amounts has been reduced.  The interest rate swap contracts typically involve the receipt of floating rate amounts from the Company's counterparties that match, in all material respects, the floating rate amounts required to be paid by the Company to its vault cash providers for the portions of the Company's outstanding vault cash obligations that have been hedged.  In return, the Company typically pays the interest rate swap counterparties a fixed rate amount per month based on the same notional amounts outstanding.  At no point is there an exchange of the underlying principal or notional amounts associated with the interest rate swaps. Additionally, none of the Company's existing interest rate swap contracts contain credit-risk-related contingent features.

For each derivative instrument that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedge transaction affects earnings.  Gains and losses on the derivative instrument representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components that are excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in earnings.  However, because the Company currently only utilizes fixed-for-floating interest rate swaps in which the underlying pricing terms agree, in all material respects, with the pricing terms of the Company’s vault cash rental obligations, the amount of ineffectiveness associated with such interest rate swap contracts has historically been immaterial.  Accordingly, no ineffectiveness amounts associated with the Company’s effective cash flow hedges have been recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the current period.

 The notional amounts, weighted average fixed rates, and terms associated with the Company's interest rate swap contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges that are currently in place (as of the date of the issuance of these financial statements) are as follows:

Accounting Policy

The Company recognizes all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value (e.g., gains or losses) of those derivative instruments depends on (1) whether these instruments have been designated (and qualify) as part of a hedging relationship and (2) the type of hedging relationship actually designated. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company designates the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

The Company has designated all of its interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges of the Company’s forecasted vault cash rental obligations.  Accordingly, changes in the fair values of the related interest rate swap contracts have been reported in the Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net line item within stockholders’ equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will be able to realize the benefits associated with its domestic net deferred tax asset positions in the future.  Therefore, the Company records the unrealized losses related to its domestic interest rate swaps net of estimated tax benefits in the Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net line item within Stockholders' equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company does not currently have any derivative instruments that have been designated as fair value or net investment hedges.  The Company has not historically, and does not currently anticipate terminating its existing derivative instruments prior to their expiration dates.  If the Company concludes that it is no longer probable that the anticipated future vault cash rental obligations that have been hedged will occur, or if changes are made to the underlying terms and conditions of the Company's vault cash rental agreements, thus creating some amount of ineffectiveness associated with the Company's current interest rate swap contracts, any resulting gains or losses will be recognized within the Other expense (income) line item of the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company expected to reclassify $28.4million of net derivative-related losses contained within accumulated OCI into earnings during the next twelve months concurrent with the recording of the related vault cash rental expense amounts.

See Note 13, Fair Value Measurements for additional disclosures on the Company's interest rate swap contracts in respect to its fair value measurements.

(13) Fair Value Measurements

The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2013 using the fair value hierarchy prescribed by U.S. GAAP. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 refers to fair values determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 includes fair values estimated using significant non-observable inputs. An asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Additions to asset retirement obligation liability. The Company estimates the fair value of additions to its asset retirement obligation liability using expected future cash outflows discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Liabilities added to the asset retirement obligations line item in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets are measured at fair value at the time of the asset installations on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs, and are only reevaluated periodically based on current fair value.  Amounts added to the asset retirement obligation liability during the nine months  ended September 30, 2013 and 2012totaled  $20.7 million and $8.7 million, respectively.The substantial increase in 2013 relates primarily to estimated liabilities assumed in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of Cardpoint in August 2013.

Below are descriptions of the Company's valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The methods described below may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities. These financial instruments are not carried at fair value, but are carried at amounts that approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk.

Acquisition-related intangible assets.  The estimated fair values of acquisition-related intangible assets are valued based on a  discounted cash flows analysis using significant non-observable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The Company tests intangible assets for impairment on a quarterly basis by measuring the related carrying amounts against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related contract or portfolio of contracts.

Interest rate swaps. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps was a liability of $75.4 million as of September 30, 2013. These financial instruments are carried at fair value, calculated as the present value of amounts estimated to be received or paid to a marketplace participant in a selling transaction. These derivatives are valued using pricing models based on significant other observable inputs (Level 2 inputs), while taking into account the creditworthiness of the party that is in the liability position with respect to each trade. See Note 12, Derivative Financial Instruments for additional disclosures on the valuation process of this liability. 

Acquisition-related contingent consideration. Liabilities from acquisition-related contingent consideration are estimated by the Company using a discounted cash flow model.  Acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities are classified as Level 3 liabilities, because the Company uses unobservable inputs to value them, based on its best estimate of operational results upon which the payment of these obligations are contingent. Gains and losses related to the contingent consideration associated with acquisitions are included in other (income) expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.  

Long-term debt. The carrying amount of the long-term debt balance related to borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility approximates fair value due to the fact that any borrowings are subject to short-term floating interest rates. As of September 30, 2013, the fair value of the Company's 2018 Notes (see Note 9, Long-Term Debt) totaled $216.5 million, based on the quoted market price (Level 1 input) for the 2018 Notes as of that date.

(14) Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

Automated Transactions. On August 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “District Court”) entitled Automated Transactions LLC (“ATL”) v. IYG Holding Co., et al. 10 Civ. 0691 (D. Del.) (the "2010 Lawsuit"). The 2010 Lawsuit names the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Cardtronics USA, Inc. (“Cardtronics USA”), as one of the defendants. The 2010 Lawsuit alleges that Cardtronics USA and the other defendants infringed upon seven of the plaintiff's patents by providing retail transactions to consumers through their ATMs. The plaintiff, ATL, is seeking a permanent injunction, damages, treble damages and costs, including attorney's fees and expenses. The allegations raised by the plaintiff in this suit are similar to the allegations made by the same plaintiff in a suit filed in January 2006 (the "2006 Lawsuit") against 7-Eleven, Inc. (“7-Eleven”) concerning six of the same seven patents. In July 2007, when the Company acquired the 7-Eleven portfolio, the Company became subject to the 2006 Lawsuit. The ATM supplier in that case agreed to indemnify 7-Eleven against the plaintiff's claims. That indemnity was assigned by 7-Eleven to the Company, and the supplier acknowledged that assignment.

The 2010 Lawsuit was initially stayed by order of the District Court pending the outcome of the 2006 Lawsuit.  In the 2006 Lawsuit, following the Company’s submission for summary judgment the District Court found that the defendants did not infringe the claims asserted in any of the plaintiff's five patents (the allegations as to the sixth patent having been dismissed earlier). In addition, the District Court granted the defendants partial summary judgment, concluding that the plaintiff's patent claims were, in part, invalid and rendered other findings so as to materially weaken the plaintiff's case. In addition, on January 28, 2011, the United States Patent and Trademark Office Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences ("BPAI") issued a decision affirming the rejection on the grounds of obviousness of all the claims relating toone of the patents asserted by the plaintiff in both the 2006 Lawsuit and the 2010 Lawsuit. The plaintiff appealed both of these rulings to the U.S.

18

Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”). On April 23, 2012, the Court of Appeals rendered a decision that affirmed both the District Court’s rulings and the BPAI decision (the “Appeals Decision”).  ATL’s request for rehearing of the Appeals Decision was denied.  As a consequence, the 2006 Lawsuit has been effectively resolved in the Company’s favor pending entry of a formal final judgment.  Furthermore, though the Appeals Decision in the 2006 Lawsuit does not formally terminate the 2010 Lawsuit, the findings set forth in the Appeals Decision should also resolve in favor of the Company all of the claims made involving the same patents as had been asserted in the 2006 Lawsuit. The Appeals Decision should also materially weaken the plaintiff’s claims in the two remaining patents in the 2010 Lawsuit, which has been consolidated with the 2006 Lawsuit and resumed.   

Notwithstanding the outcome of the 2006 Lawsuit, ATL initiated several new patent infringement lawsuits against other companies, based on “child” patents of the parent patent which are at issue in the 2006 Lawsuit and the 2010 Lawsuit.  The asserted claims of the parent patent have already been held invalid in the Appeals Decision. The claims of infringement of the child patents are substantially similar to the prior claims under the parent and other child patents, i.e. the ATMs allowed the cardholders to access the internet and to conduct retail transactions at the ATM that were asserted by the defendants to be non-routine banking transactions.  Two of those new cases were brought in the District Court for the Southern District of New York and named as defendants,  two customers of the Company under ATM placement agreements pursuant to which the Company operates ATMs alleged to infringe ATL’s child patents. Until resolved, these cases implicate the Company in defending its customers where these ATMs are placed and could involve ATL alleging new claims directly against the Company. The Company has joined as a defendant in both of those cases and asserted counterclaims against ATL for invalidity, non-infringement and requesting costs and attorneys’ fees for improperly bringing such a suit. On January 17, 2013, the Court in one case agreed with the Company’s request to transfer the case for all purposes to the U.S. District Court in Delaware because of that Court’s familiarity with the patents in suit.Subsequently, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the other case against the Company’s customer, along with many other ATL cases filed in other district courts, to the U.S. District Court in Delaware for consolidated pretrial proceedings, and the Company then joined that action as a defendant and counterclaimant, as noted above.

On April 1, 2013, a panel for the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, over ATL’s objection, transferred eight other suits involving ATL’s parent patent and 12 child patents and several different types of ATMs to the District Court to be consolidated or coordinated before the judge who had previously decided the 2006 Lawsuit against ATL. In addition, the other action still pending in New York federal court against the Company’s customer, noted above, was also transferred to that judge, along with other ATL cases deemed to be “tag along” actions to the cases already transferred. The District Court has issued a scheduling order pursuant to which discovery will be conducted and all pre-trial motions have been scheduled to be submitted by June 19, 2015.  Under that order, trial of these matters has not been set.

The Company believes that these ATL lawsuits have no merit, primarily because the asserted child patents have patent claims or limitations previously held invalid or not infringed by the Appeals Decision. Accordingly, the Company does not expect that the remaining lawsuits will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations, and the Company will continue to vigorously defend its position.

National Federation of the Blind. Through its acquisition of the E*Trade ATM portfolio, the Company became the sole defendant in the June 2003 lawsuit filed by the National Federation of the Blind, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, et. al. and certain individuals representing a class of similarly situated persons (the "Plaintiffs") against E*Trade Access, Inc., et al. in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (“Massachusetts District Court”): Civil Action No. 03-11206-NMG (the “Lawsuit”).  The Plaintiffs sought to require, among other things, that ATMs deployed by E*Trade be voice-guided. In December 2007, the Company and Plaintiffs entered into a settlement agreement (as modified in November 2010, the "Settlement Agreement").  In 2011, the Plaintiffs filed a motion of contempt with the Massachusetts District Court alleging that the Company had failed to fully comply with the requirements of the Settlement Agreement.  On December 15, 2011, the Massachusetts District Court issued an order that required the Company to bring all of its ATMs in compliance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement by March 15, 2012.  In August 2012, the Plaintiffs filed their second motion of contempt, which alleged, among other things, that the Company had failed to meet the Massachusetts District Court’s deadline and sought a fine of $50 per ATM for each month that the Massachusetts District Court determined the Company was not in compliance.  The Company filed its response on September 28, 2012.

In March 2013, the Court issued an order that stated that sanctions would be imposed, but did not specify what violations had occurred. In April 2013, the Court granted the parties’ request to appoint a special master to determine the extent of any non-compliance with the agreements, any effect on accessibility of the ATMs, and what sanctions might be appropriate.  On May 22, 2013, the Massachusetts District Court issued an order appointing a special master, directing him to issue a report and recommendation on those issues. The special master’s report and recommendation must be submitted by December 15, 2013.  The Company is uncertain of the ultimate outcome of this matter, but does not believe it will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial statements.

In addition to the above legal proceedings, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company has provided reserves where necessary for all claims and the Company's management does not expect the outcome in any of these legal proceedings, individually or collectively, to have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, the Company currently expenses all legal costs as they are incurred.

Other Commitments

19

Asset Retirement Obligations. The Company's asset retirement obligations consist primarily of deinstallation costs of the ATM and costs to restore the ATM site to its original condition. In most cases, the Company is legally required to perform this deinstallation and restoration work. The Company had $59.5 million accrued for these liabilities as of September 30, 2013. For additional information, see Note 10, Asset Retirement Obligations.

(15) Income Taxes

Income tax expense based on the Company's income before income taxes was as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
	(In thousands)						(In thousands)
Income tax expense	$	22,765		$	8,169		$	38,779		$	20,684
Effective tax rate		165.2	%		39.1	%		72.2	%		39.0	%

The Company's effective tax rate during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was higher than the combined total of the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% and the Company's estimated effective state tax rate of 2.5%, primarily due to: (1) restructuring the Company’s U.K. operations during the three month period ended September 30, 2013, which resulted in the recognition of a  $13.6 million income tax charge associated with the Company’s U.K. restructuring in the third quarter, which primarily relates to deferred tax assets that are no longer realizable as a result of the restructuring;  (2) operating losses in certain of the Company’s foreign operations for which it does not record a tax benefit, as a result of carrying a valuation allowance on those deferred tax assets;  (3) certain current year losses on the Company’s U.S. tax return that cannot be recognized as a result of the U.K. restructuring; and (4) certain non-deductible acquisition costs. The Company continues to maintain valuation allowances for its local net deferred tax asset positions for certain of its entities in the U.K. and Mexico, as the Company currently believes that it is more likely than not that these tax assets will not be realized.  

On August 7, 2013, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, acquired all of the outstanding shares issued by Cardpoint, with operations in the U.K. and Germany. At the time of the acquisition, ten legal entities were active under Cardpoint (collectively, the “Cardpoint group”).  Various entities in the Cardpoint group have accumulated net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and allowable capital allowances that the Company expects to utilize in the future to offset expected future profits in the group.  As of the acquisition date, the Cardpoint group had net operating losses in the amount of approximately $64.6 million and allowable capital allowances of approximately $74.0 million. The Company determined that it is more likely than not that the Cardpoint group will be able to realize the benefits of its tax assets. 

Following the Cardpoint acquisition, the Company restructured a portion of its other existing U.K. operations (Bank Machine entities). Through a series of restructuring, as of September 30, 2013, the existing Bank Machine group is now owned by Cardpoint. Concurrent with the restructuring, the Company implemented a financing structure to fund future growth in its European operations.

The deferred taxes associated with the Company's unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments have been reflected within the accumulated other comprehensive loss balance in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(16) Segment Information

As of September 30, 2013, the Company's operations consisted of its U.S., Europe, and Other International segments. The Company's operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are included in its U.S. segment. The Other International segment currently is comprised of the Company’s operations in Mexico and Canada. Beginning this quarter, the U.K. segment was expanded and renamed the Europe segment to include Germany, as a result of the Cardpoint acquisition.While each of these reporting segments provides similar kiosk-based and/or ATM-related services, each segment is currently managed separately as they require different marketing and business strategies.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, along with other U.S. GAAP-based measures, to assess the operating results and effectiveness of its segments. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure because it allows management to more effectively evaluate operating performance and compare its results of operations from period to period without regard to financing method or capital structure. The Company excludes depreciation, accretion, and amortization expense as these amounts can vary substantially depending upon book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect acquisition-related costs and the Company's obligations for the payment of income taxes, loss on disposal of assets, interest expense, certain other non-operating and nonrecurring items or other obligations such as capital expenditures.

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In evaluating the Company's performance as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measurement. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA is only one of the measurements that management utilizes. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating

income, net income, cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Resultsof Operations

Overview

Cardtronics, Inc. provides convenient automated consumer financial services through its network of automated teller machines (“ATMs”) and multi-function financial services kiosks. As of September 30, 2013, we were the world’s largest retail ATM owner, providing services to over80,400 devices throughout the United States (“U.S.”) (including the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands), the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), Germany, Canada, and Mexico. Included within the number of devices in the U.S. are approximately 2,200 multi-function financial services kiosks that, in addition to traditional ATM functions such as cash dispensing and bank account balance inquiries, perform other consumer financial services, including bill payments, check cashing, remote deposit capture (which represents deposits taken using electronic imaging at ATMs not physically located at a bank), and money transfers. Also included in the number of devices in our network as of September 30, 2013 were approximately 13,900 ATMs to which we provided various forms of managed services. Under a managed services arrangement, retailers and financial institutions rely on us to handle some or all of the operational aspects associated with operating and maintaining ATMs, typically in exchange for a monthly service fee or fee per service provided. We typically do not receive surcharge and interchange fees in these arrangements, but rather those fees are earned by our customers.

We often partner with large, nationally and regionally-known retail merchants under multi-year contracts to place our ATMs and kiosks within their store locations. In doing so, we provide our retail partners with a compelling automated financial services solution that helps attract and retain customers, and in turn increases the likelihood that our devices will be utilized. We also partner with leading national and regional financial institutions to brand selected ATMs and financial services kiosks within our network. As of September 30, 2013,  approximately18,400 of our domestic devices, approximately 2,000 of our ATMs in Mexico, and approximately 500 of our ATMs in Canada were under contract with financial institutions to place their logos on those machines and to provide convenient surcharge-free access for their banking customers. In return for the branding that we provide, we receive monthly fees on a per ATM basis from the branding institution, while retaining our standard fee schedule for non-customers of the financial institutions who use the branded ATMs. In Mexico, we are also under contract with a couple of financial institutions to place their brands on our ATMs in exchange for certain services provided by them.

Additionally, we own and operate the Allpoint network, the largest surcharge-free ATM network within the U.S. (based on the number of participating ATMs). The Allpoint network, which has more than 55,000 participating ATMs globally, provides surcharge-free ATM access to customers of participating financial institutions that lack a significant ATM network in exchange for either a fixed monthly fee per cardholder or a set fee per transaction that is paid by the financial institutions who are members of the network. The Allpoint network includes a majority of our ATMs in the U.S., U.K., Puerto Rico and Mexico, approximately a quarter of our ATMs in Canada, and over 5,000 locations in Australia through a partnership with a local ATM owner and operator in that market. Allpoint also works with financial institutions that manage stored-value debit card programs on behalf of corporate entities and governmental agencies, including general purpose, payroll, and electronic benefits transfer (“EBT”) cards. Under these programs, the issuing financial institutions pay Allpoint a fee per issued stored-value card or per transaction in return for allowing the users of those cards surcharge-free access to Allpoint’s participating ATM network.

Finally, we own and operate an electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) transaction processing platform that provides transaction processing services to our network of ATMs and financial services kiosks as well as ATMs owned and operated by third parties. For additional discussion of our operations and the manner in which we derive revenues, please refer to the 2012 Form 10-K.

Strategic Outlook

Over the past several years, we have expanded our operations both domestically and internationally through acquisitions, built an EFT transaction processing platform, launched our armored courier operation in the U.K., continued to deploy ATMs in high-traffic locations under contracts with well-known retailers, expanded our relationships with leading financial institutions, grown our Allpoint surcharge-free ATM network, and developed new product offerings such as managed ATM services.

Since July 2011, we have acquired five domestic ATM operators, expanding our fleet in both multi-unit regional retail chains and individual merchant ATM locations in the U.S. by approximately 28,500 ATMs.  Additionally, we have acquired two Canadian ATM operators in October 2011 and December 2012 for a total of approximately 1,400 ATMs, which allowed us to enter into and expand our international presence in Canada. During August 2013, we acquired Cardpoint, an ATM service provider in the U.K. and Germany, which further expanded our U.K. ATM operations by approximately 7,100 ATMs, as well as allowed us to enter into the German market with approximately 800 ATMs.

In addition to ATM operators, we have also made strategic acquisitions including: (1) LocatorSearch in August 2011, a domestic leading provider of location search technology deployed by financial institutions to help customers and members find the nearest, most appropriate and convenient ATM location based on the service they seek; (2) CTS in January 2012, an ATM installation company in the U.K.; and (3) i-design group plc (“i-design”) in March 2013, which is a Scotland-based provider and developer of marketing and advertising software and services for ATM owners.

31

While we will continue to explore potential acquisition opportunities in the future as a way to grow our business, we expect to continue launching new products and services that will allow us to further leverage our existing ATM and financial services kiosk network.  In particular, we see opportunities to expand our operations through the following:

· Increase our Number of Deployed Devices with Existing as well as New Merchant Relationships. We believe that there are significant opportunities to deploy additional ATMs with our existing retail customers in locations that currently do not have ATMs. Furthermore, many of our retail customers continue to expand their number of active store locations, either through acquisitions or through new store openings, thus providing us with additional ATM deployment opportunities. Additionally, we are actively pursuing opportunities to deploy ATMs with new retailers, including retailers that currently do not have ATMs, as well as those that have existing ATM programs but that are looking for a new ATM provider. We believe our expertise, national footprint, strong record of customer service, and significant scale position us to successfully market to, and enter into long-term contracts with, additional leading national and regional merchants. In addition, we believe our existing relationships with leading U.S.- and U.K.-based retailers position us to expand in international locations where these existing partners have operations.

· Expand our Relationships with Leading Financial Institutions. Through our merchant relationships as well as our diverse product and service offerings, we believe we can provide our existing financial institution customers with convenient solutions to fulfill their growing ATM and automated consumer financial services requirements. Further, we believe we can leverage these offerings to attract additional financial institutions as customers. Our services currently offered to financial institutions include branding our ATMs with their logos, providing remote deposit capture, providing surcharge-free access to their customers through our Allpoint network, and offering managed services for their ATM portfolios. Our EFT transaction processing capabilities provide us with the ability to provide customized control over the content of the information appearing on the screens of our ATMs and ATMs we process for financial institutions, which increases the types of products and services that we are able to offer to financial institutions. The number of machines and financial institutions participating in our Allpoint network are also increasing,enabling us to increase transaction counts and profitability on our existing machines.

· Work with Non-Traditional Financial Institutions and Card Issuers to Further Leverage our Extensive ATM and Financial Services Kiosk Network. We believe that there are opportunities to develop or expand relationships with non-traditional financial institutions and card issuers, such as reloadable prepaid card issuers and alternative payment networks, which are seeking an extensive and convenient ATM network to complement their new card offerings. Additionally, we believe that many of the prepaid debit card issuers that exist today in the U.S. can benefit by providing their cardholders with access to our ATM network on a discounted or fee-free basis. For example, through our Allpoint network, we have sold access to our ATM network to issuers of stored value prepaid debit cards to provide the customers of these issuers with convenient and surcharge-free access to cash.

· Increase Transaction Levels at our Existing Locations. We believe that there are opportunities to increase the number of transactions that are occurring today at our existing ATM locations. On average, only a small fraction of the customers that enter our retail customers’ locations utilize our ATMs and financial services kiosks. In addition to our existing initiatives that tend to drive additional transaction volumes to our ATMs, such as bank branding and network branding, we are working on developing new initiatives to potentially drive incremental transactions over our existing ATM locations. Examples of this effort are our 2011 acquisition of LocatorSearch, which helps consumers find our ATMs, and the launch of FeeAlert in the third quarter of 2012, which enables financial institutions to help their customers save money by steering them toward nearby in-network ATMs and away from ATM fees. Additionally, we have existing programs and are working to develop additional and broader programs to steer the cardholders of our existing financial institution partners and members of our Allpoint network to visit our ATMs in convenient retail locations. These programs may include incentives to cardholders such as coupons, rewards, and other offers that tend to provide motivation for customers to visit our ATMs within our existing retail footprint. While we are in the early stages of fully developing and implementing many of these programs, we believe that these programs, when properly structured, can serve to benefit each party (i.e. the retailer, the financial institution, and the cardholder.) As a result, we expect to gain additional transaction volumes through these efforts.

· Develop and Provide Additional Services at our Existing ATMs. Service offerings by ATMs continue to evolve over time. Certain ATM models are capable of providing numerous automated consumer financial services, including bill payments, check cashing, remote deposit capture, money transfer, bill payment services, and stored-value card reload services. Certain of our devices are capable of, and currently provide, these types of services. We believe these non-traditional consumer financial services offered by our devices, and other machines that we or others may develop, could provide a compelling and cost-effective solution for financial institutions and stored-value prepaid debit card issuers looking to provide the convenience of branch banking in an off-premise retail setting. We also allow advertisers to place their messages on our ATMs equipped with advertising software in both the U.S. and the U.K. Offering additional services at our devices, such as advertising, allows us to create new revenue streams from assets that have already been deployed, in addition to providing value to our customers through beneficial offers and convenient services. We plan to develop additional products and services that can be delivered through our existing ATM network.

32

· Pursue Additional Managed Services Opportunities. Over the last several years, we significantly expanded the number of ATMs that are operated under our managed services arrangement type.  Under this arrangement, retailers and financial institutions generally pay us a fixed management fee per cardholder or a set fee per transaction in exchange for handling some or all of the operational aspects associated with operating and maintaining their ATM fleets.  Surcharge and interchange fees are generally earned by the retailer or the financial institution. As a result, in this arrangement type, our revenues are partly protected from fluctuations in transaction levels of these machines and changes in network interchange rates. Additionally, in the U.K. where we have our own engineering, cash-in-transit, and installation organizations, we believe that opportunities exist to offer some (or all) of these services on a managed services basis to both retailers and financial institutions. We plan to pursue additional managed services opportunities with leading merchants and financial institutions in the United States, as well as international opportunities as they arise, working with our customers to provide them with a customized solution that fits their needs.

· Pursue International Growth Opportunities. We have invested significant amounts of capital in the infrastructure of our United Kingdom, Canada, and Mexico operations, and we plan to continue selectively increasing the number of our ATMs in these markets, as well as in the newly-entered German market, applying many of the aforementioned strategies. In 2011, we entered into the Canadian market with our acquisition of Mr. Cash, subsequently renamed Cardtronics Canada. In August 2013, we entered into the German market with our acquisition of Cardpoint, which combined with the U.K. is operated under the umbrella of Cardtronics Europe. We plan to expand our operations in both Canada and Europe, primarily by expanding our ATM footprint in those markets and establishing relationships with leading financial institutions. Additionally, we may expand our operations into selected other international markets where we believe we can leverage our operational expertise, EFT transaction processing platform, and scale advantages. Our future international expansion, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including the estimated economic opportunity to us, the business and regulatory environment in the international market, our ability to identify suitable business partners in the market, and other risks associated with international expansion.

Longer term, we believe there are opportunities to not only expand our ATM and financial services kiosk network, but to also expand the types of services that we offer through that network. We believe that recent industry regulatory changes coupled with the proliferation of stored-value prepaid debit cards provide us with a unique opportunity to leverage our extensive retail ATM and financial services kiosk network to provide a broader array of automated financial services to financial institutions and card issuers. For example, with recently enacted regulatory changes with respect to credit cards, debit cards, and traditional demand deposit accounts, there remains some uncertainty surrounding many of the revenue streams traditionally earned by financial institutions. As a result, we believe that our network of ATMs located in prime retail locations represents an attractive and affordable option for financial institutions looking to continue to expand their ATM network in a cost-effective manner. Additionally, we believe that the deployment of devices that perform other financial services, including check cashing, remote deposit capture, money transfer, bill payment services, and stored-value card reload services, could provide a compelling and cost-effective solution for financial institutions and stored-value prepaid debit card issuers looking to provide the convenience of branch banking in an off-premise retail setting.

Recent Events and Trends

Withdrawal Transaction and Revenue Trends – United States. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013,  total same-store cash withdrawal transactions conducted on our domestic ATMs increased by 1.7%  and 0.9%, respectively, over the comparable periods in the prior year. We define same-store ATMs as all ATMs that were continuously transacting for both the current period and the comparable period in the prior year to ensure the exclusion of any new growth or mid-month installations. We believe that the moderate third quarterincrease in transactions was attributable to several factors, including: (1)a continued shift in the mix of withdrawal transactions being conducted on our domestic network of ATMs (i.e., more surcharge-free and less surcharge-based withdrawal transactions) resulting from the continued evolution and growth of our surcharge-free product offerings; and (2) the proliferation in the use of network-branded stored-value cards by employers and governmental agencies for payroll and benefit-related payments.  These increases were partially offset in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to the negative effects in the first quarter of 2013 from the extra day in 2012 due to leap year, decreased consumer spending, surcharge rate increases, and unfavorable weather in the first quarter of 2013. We expect our domestic same-store transaction growth rate to remain relatively consistent with our third quarter rate during the fourth quarter of 2013. 

Over the last several years, some of the large U.S. banks serving the market for consumer banking services have begun to aggressively compete for market share, and part of their competitive strategy is to increase their number of customer touch points, including the establishment of an ATM network to provide convenient, surcharge-free access to cash for their customers. As a result, in certain situations, we have faced direct competition from large U.S. banks for large ATM placement opportunities. While a large owned-ATM network would be a key strategic asset for a bank, we believe it would be uneconomical for all but the largest banks to build and operate an extensive ATM network. Bank branding of our ATMs and participation in our surcharge-free network allow financial institutions to rapidly increase surcharge-free ATM access for their customers at substantially lower cost than building their own ATM networks. We also believe there is an opportunity for a large non-bank ATM and financial services kiosk operator such as ourselves, with lower costs and an established operating history, to contract with financial institutions and retailers to manage their ATM networks. Such an outsourcing arrangement could reduce a financial institution’s operational costs while extending its customer service. Furthermore, we believe there are opportunities to provide selected services on an outsourced basis, such as transaction

33

processing services, to other independent owners and operators of ATMs and financial services kiosks. These factors have led to an increase in bank branding, participation in surcharge-free networks, and managed services arrangements, and we believe that there will be continued growth in such arrangements.

Financial Regulatory Reform in the United States. The Dodd-Frank Act, which contains broad measures aimed at overhauling financial regulations within the U.S., was signed into law on July 21, 2010. Among many other things, the Dodd-Frank Act includes provisions that (1) have resulted in the creation of a new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, (2) limit the activities that banking entities may engage in, and (3) give the Federal Reserve the authority to regulate interchange transaction fees charged by EFT networks for electronic point-of-sale (“POS”) debit transactions. ATM debit transactions were determined not to be subject to regulation under the Dodd-Frank Act. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, we have seen networks and banks take different actions to attempt to mitigate reductions to fees that they previously earned on certain transaction types, such as POS debit interchange. As potentially an indirect consequence, certain networks over which our ATM transactions are routed have reduced the net interchange paid to us. Other possible impacts of this broad legislation are unknown to us at this time, but we have seen certain actions taken by banks that indicate debit cards are no longer considered as an attractive form of payment as they previously had been. Decreased profitability on POS debit transactions could cause banks to provide incentives to their customers to use other payment types, such as credit cards. We also believe that merchant retailers may continue to have a preference to receive cash as a form of payment. In addition, there are other components to the Dodd-Frank Act that may ultimately impact us, but at this time, we are uncertain as to what impact the existing and future laws, and the resulting behavior by consumers and financial institutions, will ultimately have on our business.

Europay, MasterCard, Visa (“EMV”). The EMV standard provides for the security and processing of information contained on microchips embedded in certain debit and credit cards, known as “smart cards.”  In the last year, MasterCard announced plans for a liability shift for fraudulent cross-border transactionsfrom the issuers of these cards to the party that has not made the investment in EMV equipment (either cards or ATMs).  MasterCard’s liability shift on International Maestro (MasterCard) transactions occurred in April 2013, and while the majority of our U.S. ATMs are not currently EMV-compliant, we do not expect this liability shift will have a significant impact on our business or results as International Maestro transactions currently comprise less than 0.5% of our U.S. transaction volume.  In February 2013, Visa announced plans for a liability shift to occur in October 2017 for all transactions types on domestic or international EMV-issued cards. MasterCard has also announced that liability shift for its domestic ATM transactions on EMV-issued cards will occur in October 2016. At this time, neither MasterCard nor Visa are requiring mandatory upgrades to ATM equipment; however, increased fraudulent activity on ATMs in the future or the shifting of liability for fraudulent activity on all ATM transactions without EMV readers, or other business or regulatory factors could require us to upgrade or replace a significant portion of our existing U.S. ATM fleet. We are closely monitoring the migration toward the EMV standard, and all of our recent ATM deployments have been with ATMs that are EMV-ready. At this time, through a combination of ordinary replacement of equipment, routine scheduled maintenance visits to our ATMs, and evolving technology to meet compliance, we do not expect the EMV migration to have a significant impact on our future capital investments and results from operations. However, we currently estimate that the total potential cost to make our entire current Company-owned U.S. ATM fleet fully compliant with the EMV standard is approximately $30 million to $35 million in addition to what we would typically spend on new customer installations and fleet upgrades. With the increased capital investments required as a direct result of EMV, our depreciation expense may increase in the future. There is also a possibility that we could incur asset write-offs or accelerated depreciation expense on certain ATM units. Additionally, we could experience a higher rate of unit count attrition for our merchant-owned ATMs in the future as a result of this standard.

Withdrawal Transaction and Revenue Trends – United Kingdom.In recent periods, we have installed more free-to-use ATMs as opposed to surcharging pay-to-use ATMs in the U.K., and as a result of this mix shift, our overall withdrawal transactions in the U.K. (excluding the effect of Cardpoint acquisition) increased by 4% and 13% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, over thesame periods in the prior year. Although we earn less revenue per cash withdrawal transaction on a free-to-use machine, the increase in the number of transactions conducted on free-to-use machines has generally translated into higher overall revenues.

Financial Regulatory Reform in the United Kingdom.In March 2013, the U.K. Treasury department (the “Treasury”) issued a formal recommendation to further regulate the U.K. payments industry, including LINK, the nation’s formal ATM scheme.  In October 2013, the U.K. government responded by establishing the new Payment Systems Regulator (“PSR”) to oversee any payment system operating in the U.K. and its participants. While the ultimate impact of the establishment of the PSR will not be known until it is officially formed and its powers defined, management believes that it could help stabilize LINK ATM interchange rates, which are a significant source of our revenues in that market.  We will continue to monitor the development of the PSR and take necessary actions, as needed, to be in compliance with the prescribed regulations.

United Kingdom Property Taxes.In the U.K., there is no requirement for property owners to declare ownership and valuation to taxing authorities for property tax purposes (referred to as “business rates” in the U.K.). Rather, the U.K. government sets the valuations on all the assessable properties that it is aware of and distributes the results to the various local government councils, who then may or may not send property tax bills to property owners at their discretion. Through mid-2013, we had only received tax bills for a portion of the ATMs in the U.K. and these amounts were not significant in the past. In May 2013, we received a notice from the U.K. governmental agency in charge of property taxes stating that it had obtained location and transaction count data for all ATMs in the U.K., and that it was in the process of creating or updating the valuations on many U.K. ATMs across the industry. In September

34

2013, we received a listing of those proposed valuations on our Bank Machine, Ltd. (“Bank Machine”) ATMs (i.e., exclusive of our recently acquired Cardpoint ATMs), which indicated an annual incremental assessment of approximately £1.8 million ($2.9 million), net of amounts that may be contractually recovered from merchants and potential reductions resulting from successfully challenging the assessments with the U.K. government and local authorities. Furthermore, under U.K. law, these taxes may be payable retroactive to April 2010 or to the date of first occupancy, whichever is later. As a result, we believe that it is probable that we will be assessed on significantly more ATMs than in the past, and that our net liability for previously-unassessed ATMs could total approximately £5.7 million ($9.2 million) as of September 30, 2013. Therefore, in the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded an additional charge for £5.7 million ($9.2 million) reflecting our best estimate of this liability.  This amount was expensed through the Cost of ATM operating revenues line item on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. We believe there are several strategies to mitigate these property tax assessments and we plan to aggressively pursue these strategies, to not only reduce the retroactive portion of such assessments, but to also minimize the potential ongoing impact of this change in approach by the U.K. taxing authorities. However, if we are unsuccessful in these efforts, we believe that the annual incremental impact could be as high as £2.3 million ($3.7 million) for our entire U.K. fleet of ATMs (inclusive of ATMs acquired from Cardpoint).

Expansion in Canada.  We entered the Canadian market in October 2011 through our acquisition of Mr. Cash. Part of our initial strategy to grow in that market was to leverage existing relationships with merchant retailers with whom we have significant existing relationships in the U.S. During 2012, we executed a multi-year agreement with 7-Eleven, our largest merchant retail partner in the U.S., to be the exclusive ATM service provider for all of their stores in Canada. We also executed a contract with The Bank of Nova Scotia (“Scotiabank”) to place its bank brand on all of the 7-Eleven ATMs in Canada and included all of the 7-Eleven ATMs in Canada in our Allpoint network. Finally, in December 2012, we further expanded in Canada through our acquisition of Can-Do-Cash. We are actively seeking other similar expansion opportunities with existing and new merchant partners in this market.

Withdrawal Transaction and Revenue Trends – Mexico. In September 2012, we completed a required migration of our U.S. dollar-dispensing ATMs (“USD ATMs”) in Mexico so that we could continue to settle our U.S. dollar-denominated transactions through Promoción y Operación S.A. de C.V. (“PROSA-RED”).  This process change, combined with the overall recent downward trend in surcharge transactions in Mexico stemming from regulatory changes in 2010, has resulted in a reduction of the revenues and profits we earn from our ATMs in Mexico.  As a result, we have reduced our ATM deployments in Mexico in recent years and we continue to evaluate each ATM’s revenue and profit contributions to our Mexico operations.

(1)Excludes effects of depreciation, accretion, and amortization expense of $22.8 million and $19.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $62.8 million and $56.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The inclusion of this depreciation, accretion, and amortization expense in Cost of ATM operating revenues would have increased our Cost of ATM operating revenues as a percentage of total revenues by 10.0% and 9.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and by 9.9% and 9.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

United States. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, our U.S. operations experienced a $12.3 million increase in ATM operating revenues when compared to the same period in 2012.  Acquisitions completed since the beginning of last year’s third quarter accounted for  $3.5 million of this increase.The results of these acquired businesses(or a portion thereof) were included in the consolidated financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2013 but not in the comparable period in 2012.  The remaining $8.8 million increase was due to growth achieved from a  combination of revenue sources, including: (1) increased surcharge and interchange revenuesprimarily as a result of a higher machine count and total transaction count; (2) an increase in bank branding and surcharge-free network revenues that resulted from the continued growth of participating banks and other financial institutions in our bank branding program and our Allpoint network; andfinally,  (3) an increase in managed services revenue as a result of the expansion of these services in the past year. The increase in other revenues in the U.S. is primarily from intercompany transaction processing, which is eliminated in consolidation.

For additional information on recent trends that have impacted, and may continue to impact, the revenues generated by our U.S. operations, see Recent Events and Trends - Withdrawal Transaction and Revenue Trends – United States above.

Europe. Our Europe operations, which now includes both the U.K. and Germany as a result of the Cardpoint acquisition, experienced a $20.7 million, or 68%, increase in ATM operating revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012.  Of this increase, $18.6 million was attributable to the contribution of the i-design and Cardpoint acquisitions completed in 2013. The remaining$2.1 million increase was primarily driven by higher interchange revenues as a result of  a14%  increase in the number oftotal transactions conducted on our ATMs in that market, partially offset by slightly lower interchange rates.  Excluding the effect of foreign currency exchange rate movements between the two periods, the total increase in ATM operating revenues for the period would have been $21.7 million, or 71%, when compared to the same period in 2012.

For additional information on recent trends that have impacted, and may continue to impact, the revenues generated by our U.K. operations, see Recent Events and Trends - Withdrawal Transaction and Revenue Trends – United Kingdom above.

Other International.ATM operating revenues in this segment, which include the results of our Mexico operation and our Canadian subsidiary, remained fairly consistent between the quarters ended September 30, 2013and the same period in 2012.We believe the year-over-year consistency was primarily the result of an increase in ATM operating revenues in our Canadian operations from the addition of a significant new merchant contract in 2012 and the acquisition of Can-Do-Cash in December 2012, which was partially offset bylower ATM operating revenues from our Mexico operations. Foreign currency exchange rate movements did not have a material effect on the reported ATM operating revenues in this segment.

39

ATM product sales and other revenues. ATM product sales and other revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $6.1 million,or a decrease of $1.4 million from the same period in 2012.  During the third quarter of 2012, we experienced increasedATM product salesdue to the continued replacement of certain ATMs that were not compliant with the new regulations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) that became effective in early 2012. 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

ATM operating revenues. ATM operating revenues generated during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased $68.8 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Below is the detail, by segment, of changes in the various components of ATM operating revenues:

	Variance: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 to

Total increase in ATM operating revenues	$	37,848	$	29,462	$	6,610	$	(5,132)	$	68,788

United States. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our U. S. operations experienced a $37.8 million, or 9%, increase in ATM operating revenues compared to the same period in 2012. The acquisitions made in the last year contributed $8.4 million to this increase. The remaining $29.4 million increase was primarily due to the same reasons mentioned above in the quarterly results analysis, including: (1) increased surcharge revenues primarily as a result of a higher machine count; (2) an increase in bank branding and surcharge-free network revenues that resulted from the continued growth of participating banks and other financial institutions in our bank branding program and our Allpoint network; and (3) an increase in managed services revenue as a result of an increase in new contracts entered into under this arrangement type.  The increase in other revenues in the U.S. is primarily from intercompany transaction processing, which is eliminated in consolidation.

Europe. Our Europe operations also contributed $29.5 million, or  a35%increase, in ATM operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from the first nine months of 2012.  The i-design and Cardpoint acquisitions completed in 2013 contributed  $19.8 million to the total increase.  As was the case with the three month period, the remaining $9.7 million increase was primarily driven by higher interchange revenues as a result of a  23% increase in the number of total transactions in the U.K. (excluding acquisitions), which was partially offset by slightly lower interchange rates. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements between the two periods, the total increase in ATM operating revenues for the period would have been $32.0 million, or 38%, when compared to the same period in 2012.

Other International. Our Other International operations experienced a $6.6 million, or 25%, increase in revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 over the same period in 2012.  As was the case with the three month period, Canadian operations contributed to this increase due to the addition of a significant new merchant contract in 2012 and the acquisition of Can-Do-Cash in December 2012. Lower ATM operating revenues from our Mexico operations partially offset this increase.  Foreign currency exchange rate movements did not have a material effect on the reported ATM operating revenues in this segment.

ATM product sales and other revenues. ATM product sales and other revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013decreased$16.3 million compared to those generated during the same period in 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the same reasons mentioned above in the quarterly results, including decreased equipment and value-added reseller (“VAR”) program sales during the period.

United States.During the three months ended September 30, 2013, our U.S. operations experienced a $5.4 million increase in cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization)when compared to the same period in 2012.  The acquisitions completed since the beginning of last year’s third quarter contributed $1.6 million to the increase, and the remaining increase primarily resulted from higher transaction volumes and ATM unit growth driven by organic revenue growth,  and other expenses from higher employee costs.Vault cash rental expense decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 due to more efficient vault cash forecasting, which translated to generally lower daily vault cash balances outstanding. Communications expense decreased as a result of more favorable pricing compared to the prior year.

Europe. In the quarter ended September 30, 2013, our Europe operations experienced a $20.0 million, or 84%,  increase in the cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization) when compared to the same period in 2012.  This increase was a result of the acquisitions completed in 2013, which resulted in a $12.5 million increase in cost of ATM operating revenues.  The other expenses category shown above was higher primarily due to $9.0 million in charges associated with property taxes assessed on certain ATMs in the U.K. For further details on this matter, seeRecent Events and Trends – United Kingdom Property Taxes.Excluding the effect of the acquisitions and the property tax charge described above, cost of ATM operating revenues in the U.K. would have decreased by $1.2 million as a result of realizing operating cost efficiencies.Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements between the two periods, the total increase in the cost of ATM operating revenues for the period would have been $21.7 million, or 86%, when compared to the same period in 2012.

Other International.The cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization) from our Other International operations increased by $0.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily due to the growth of our Canadian operations, as described above. 

41

Cost of ATM product sales and other revenues. The cost of ATM product sales and other revenues decreased by $0.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013when compared to the same period in 2012.This decrease is consistent with the decrease in related revenues, as discussed above.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

Cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization). The cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased $43.0 million when compared to the same period in 2012.  The following is a detail, by segment, of changes in the various components of the cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization):

United States. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization) incurred by our U.S. operations increased $15.4 million, or 5%, when compared to the cost incurred during the same period in 2012. The acquisitions completed in the last year contributed $2.8 million to this increase with the remaining $12.6 million increase resulting from higher transaction volumes and ATM unit growth driven by organic revenue growth. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in: (1)vault cash rental expense, which was due to lower daily vault cash balances outstanding, as explained above in the quarterly analysis; (2) repairs and maintenance, as the expenses during thenine months ended September 30, 2012 were higher as a result of certain compliance activities; and (3) communications, as a result of lower negotiated contract rates implemented in 2013.

Europe. The cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization) of our Europe operations increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 by $25.5 million, or 39%, when compared to the same period in 2012.  The acquisitions completed in 2013 contributed $13.3 million of this increase.  Theremaining $12.2 increase was primarily due to the property taxes expense increase explained above in the quarterly analysis and organic unit and transaction growth in the U.K. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements between the two periods, the total increase in the cost of ATM operating revenues for the period would have been $27.3 million, or 41%, when compared to the same period in 2012.

Other International. The cost of ATM operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization) from our Other International operations increased by $7.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012. This increase wasprimarily due to the growth of our Canadian operations, as described above. 

Cost of ATM product sales and other revenues. The $13.6 million decrease in cost of ATM product sales and other revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is consistent with the decrease in related revenues, as discussed above.

ATM operating gross profit margin. For the threemonths ended September 30, 2013, our ATM operating gross profit margin exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization decreased by 1.4 percentage points, when compared to the same period in 2012. Additionally, our ATM operating gross profit margin inclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization decreased by 1.5 percentage points during the three months ended September 30, 2013when compared to the same period in 2012. These decreases are attributable to the $8.4 million expense recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2013 associated with a nonrecurring charge associated with business rates (property taxes) in our U.K. operations for prior periods. For further information regarding this matter, seeRecent Events and Trends – United Kingdom Property Taxes.  Excluding this charge, our ATM operating gross profit margin, exclusive of depreciation, accretion and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2013 would have increased by 240 basis points over the same period in 2012.  This increase was a result of our revenue growth, a reduction in our operating costs on a per transaction basis, and improved margins on the businesses acquired during the past two years. Our gross margins for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were also impacted by the same factors impacting the three months ended September 30, 2013.Excluding the impact of the $8.4 million property tax charge from our U.K. operation, our reported ATM operating gross profit margin, exclusive of depreciation, accretion and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 would have increased by 200basis points over the same period in 2012.

We expect that our gross profit margin for the full year2013to be slightly higher than that for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which was negatively impacted by the $8.4 million U.K. property tax charge discussed above.

ATM product sales and other revenues gross profit margin. For thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2013, our gross profit margin on ATM product sales and other revenues declined by 8.7 and 6.6 percentage points, respectively,primarily as a result of a decline in VAR equipment sales compared to the comparable periods in 2012, which are higher margin than our other ATM product sales.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”), excludingstock-based compensation.SG&A expenses, excluding stock-based compensation and acquisition-related expenses, increased $5.3 million and $10.7 millionfor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2012.  These increases  were due to: (1) higher payroll-related costs compared to the same period in 2012 due to increased headcount, including employees added from the

43

acquisitions completed between the periods; (2) increased incentive-based compensation; (3) severance costs associated with our U.K. operations; and (4) higher marketing and professional expenses.

Stock-based compensation. The $0.5 million and $0.3 millionincrease in stock-based compensation during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, was due to grants to new employees and additional expense recognition associated with grants of certain awards to employees who have met the qualified retirement provisions as defined in our Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) at some point prior to the awards’ final vesting dates. This qualified retirement feature in our LTIP resulted in the acceleration of expense recognition for certain awards.  For additional details on equity awards, see Item 1.Financial Information,Note 3, Stock-Based Compensation.  

Acquisition-related expenses. The increase in acquisition-related expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 related to the following: (1) legal and professional costs incurred to complete the Company’s 2013 acquisitions; (2) certain nonrecurring integration and transition-related costs; (3) contract termination costs for certain acquired businesses; and 4) other costs.

Depreciation and accretion expense		7.4	%		7.9	%				7.7	%		7.6	%

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, depreciation expense increased when compared to the same periods in 2012 primarily as a result of the deployment of additional Company-owned ATMs over the past yearas a result of our organic ATM unit growth,new ATMs purchased to replace older non-ADA-compliant ATMs, and the ATMs acquired through various acquisitions.  For the three andnine months ended September 30, 2013, accretion expense increased slightly as additional asset retirement obligations were established in connection with newly deployed ATMs and acquired ATMs,  which was offset partially by the impact of the reduced asset retirement obligations in the U.K.  When we install our ATMs, we estimate the fair value of future retirement obligations associated with those ATMs, including the anticipated costs to deinstall, and in some cases refurbish, the ATMs at certain merchant locations. Accretion expense represents the increase of this liability from the original discounted net present value to the amount we ultimately expect to incur.

Amortization expense is primarily comprised of the amortization of intangible assets related to merchant contracts and relationships recorded in connection with purchase accounting valuations for completed acquisitions. The increase in amortization expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013when compared to the same periods in 2012 was primarily due to the addition of intangible assets from the acquisitions completed during the last twelve months.

We recognized lower losses on disposal of assets during the ninemonths ended September 30, 2013compared to the same period in2012,  primarily as a result of a decrease in the number of assets that we removed during the first half of 2013  when compared to the same period in 2012 when there were a  higher number of assets that were removeddue to obsolescence, including replacing certain non-ADA-compliant ATMs in the U.S.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, netincreased slightly during the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012as a result of higher debt outstanding due to the recently completed Cardpoint acquisition. Interest expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased slightly when compared to the same period in 2012 as a result of lower net debt outstanding during the period. For additional details, see Item 1.Financial Information,Note 9, Long-Term Debt.

Amortization of deferred financing costs. Amortization of deferred financing costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013was comparable to the same periods in 2012,  as the financing costs associated with the recent amendment of the revolving credit facility had an insignificant impact during the these periods. There were no other significant financingcosts incurred over the past year.  

Income Tax Expense

Effective tax rate		165.2	%		39.1	%				72.2	%		39.0	%

Our income tax expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased over the same periods in 2012,  primarily due to an increase in consolidated income before income taxes. The significant expense and effective tax rate increase from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013when compared to the same periods in 2012 was primarily due to: (1) restructuring of our U.K. operations during the three month period ended September 30, 2013, which resulted in the recognition of a $13.6 million income tax charge associated with our U.K. restructuring in the third quarter, which primarily relates to deferred tax assets that are no longer realizable as a result of the restructuring;  (2) operating losses in certain of our foreign operations for which we do not record a tax benefit, as a result of carrying a valuation allowance on those deferred tax assets;  (3) certain current year losses on our U.S. tax return that cannot be recognized as a result of the U.K. restructuring; and (4) certain non-deductible acquisition costs. We continue to maintain valuation allowances for our local net deferred tax asset positions for certain of our entities in the U.K. and Mexico, as we currently believe that it is more likely than not that these tax assets will not be realized.

On August 7, 2013, we, through our wholly owned subsidiaries, acquired all of the outstanding shares issued by Cardpoint, with operations in the U.K. and Germany. At the time of the acquisition, ten legal entities were active under Cardpoint (collectively, the “Cardpoint group”).  Various entities in the Cardpoint group have accumulated net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and allowable capital allowances that we expect to utilize in the future to offset expected future profits in the group.  As of the acquisition

45

date, the Cardpoint group had net operating losses in the amount of approximately $64.6 million and allowable capital allowances of approximately $74.0 million. We determined that it is more likely than not that the Cardpoint group will be able to realize the benefits of its tax assets. 

Following the Cardpoint acquisition, we restructured a portion of our other existing U.K. operations (Bank Machine entities). Through a series of restructurings, as of September 30, 2013, the existing Bank Machine group is now owned by Cardpoint. Concurrent with the restructuring, we implemented a financing structure to fund future growth in its European operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Included below are certain non-GAAP financial measures that we use to evaluate the performance of our business. We believe that the presentation of these measures and the identification of unusual or certain non-recurring adjustments and non-cash items enhance an investor’s understanding of the underlying trends in our business and provide for better comparability between periods in different years. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures provided as a complement to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation, accretion, and amortization expense as these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes acquisition-related expenses, certain other non-operating and nonrecurring costs, loss on disposal of assets, our obligations for the payment of income taxes, interest expense or other obligations such as capital expenditures, and an adjustment for noncontrolling interest. Adjusted Net Income represents net income computed in accordance with GAAP, before amortization expense, loss on disposal of assets, stock-based compensation expense, certain other expense (income) amounts, nonrecurring expenses, and acquisition-related expenses, and using an assumed tax rate of 35% through June 30, 2013 and 33.5% thereafter, with certain adjustments for noncontrolling interests. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is calculated excluding certain nonrecurring costs from the cost of ATM operating revenues. Adjusted EBITDA %, Adjusted Pre-tax %, and Adjusted Net Income % are calculated by taking the respective non-GAAP financial measures over GAAP total revenues. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by average weighted diluted shares outstanding. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less payments for capital expenditures, including those financed through direct debt but excluding acquisitions.  The measure of Free Cash Flow does not take into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash requirements such as, for example, mandatory principal payments on portions of our long-term debt.  

The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Areconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, and Adjusted Net Income to Net Income Attributable to Controlling Interests,their most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, and a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, are presented as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of September 30, 2013, we had $18.6million in cash and cash equivalents on hand and $457.8million in outstanding long-term debt.

We have historically funded our operations primarily through cash flows from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, and the issuance of debt and equity securities. Furthermore, we have historically used cash to invest in additional ATMs, either through the acquisition of ATM networks or through organically-generated growth. We have also used cash to fund increases in working capital and to pay interest and principal amounts outstanding under our borrowings. Because we collect a sizable portion of our cash from sales on a daily basis but generally pay our vendors on 30-day terms and are not required to pay certain of our merchants until 20 days after the end of each calendar month, we are able to utilize the excess available cash flow to reduce borrowings made under our revolving credit facility and to fund our ongoing capital expenditure program. Accordingly, we typically reflect a working capital deficit position and carry a relatively small cash balance.

We believe that our cash on hand and our current bank credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements and contractual commitments for the next 12 months. We expect to fund our working capital needs from cash flows generated from our operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility, to the extent needed. As we expect to continue to generate positive free cash flow in 2013 and beyond, we expect to continue repaying the amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility absent any acquisitions. See additional discussion under Financing Facilities below.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $122.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $94.3 million during the same period in 2012.The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to the generation of higher operating profits and smaller net increases in certain working capital balances relative to the prior year period. Additionally, in January 2013, we collected $13.4 million from an outstanding insurance receivable.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $232.6 million for the nine  months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $98.5 million during the same period in 2012. The year-over-year increase was primarily the result ofthe cash paid, net of cash acquired, for the acquisitionscompleted during thenine months, partially offset by lower capital expenditures.

Anticipated Future Capital Expenditures. We currently anticipate that the majority of our capital expenditures for the foreseeable future will be driven by organic growth projects, including the purchase of ATMs for existing as well as new ATM management agreements. We expect that our capital expenditures for the remainder of 2013 will total approximately $30 million, the majority of which will be utilized to purchase additional ATMs for our Company-owned accounts and to enhance our existing devices with additional functionalities. We expect such expenditures to be funded with cash generated from our operations. In addition, we will continue to evaluate selected acquisition opportunities that complement our existing ATM network. We believe that significant expansion opportunities continue to exist in all of our current markets, as well as in other international markets, and we will continue to pursue those opportunities as they arise. Such acquisition opportunities, either individually or in the aggregate, could be material and may be funded by additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility or other financing sources that may be available to us.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided byfinancing activities totaled $113.6 million and $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20132012, respectively.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we borrowed additional funds under our credit facility to partially fund our 2013 acquisitions.

Financing Facilities

As of September 30, 2013, we had approximately $457.8million in outstanding long-term debt, which was primarily comprised of: (1) $200.0 million of 2018 Notes, (2) $256.1 million in borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and (3) $1.7million in notes payable outstanding under equipment financing lines of Cardtronics Mexico.

Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2013,  we had a  $375.0 million revolving credit facility thatwas led by a syndicate of banks including JPMorgan Chase, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A.This facilityprovidesus with $375.0 million in available borrowings and letters of credit (subject to the covenants contained within the facility) and has an expiration date of July 2016.

Borrowings under our revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable rate based upon our total leverage ratio and the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or Alternative Base Rate (as defined in the agreement) at our option. Additionally, we are required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. Substantially all of our assets, including the stock of all of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the stock of our foreign subsidiaries, are pledged to secure borrowings made under the revolving credit facility. Furthermore, each of our domestic subsidiaries has guaranteed our obligations under such facility. There are currently no restrictions on the ability of our wholly-owned subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends directly to us. The primary restrictive covenants within the facility include (1) limitations on the amount of senior debt and total debt that we can have outstanding at any given point in time and (2) the maintenance of a set ratio of earnings to fixed charges, as computed quarterly on a trailing 12-month basis, adjusted for the pro forma effect of acquisitions. Additionally, we are limited on the amount of restricted payments, including dividends, which we can make pursuant to the terms of the facility. These limitations are generally governed by a senior leverage ratio test and a fixed charge ratio covenant.

As of September 30, 2013, the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings was approximately 2.1%. Additionally, as of September 30, 2013, wewerein compliance with all the covenants contained within the facility and would continue to be in compliance even in the event of substantially higher borrowings or substantially lower earnings.  As of September 30, 2013, we had $116.8 million in available borrowing capacity under the $375.0 million revolving credit facility. 

Senior Subordinated Notes.In August 2010, we issued $200.0 million in 2018 Notes.The 2018 Notes  are subordinate to borrowings made under the revolving credit facility and carry an8.25% coupon. Interest is paid semi-annually in arrears on March 1st and September 1st of each year. The 2018 Notes, which are guaranteed by all of our 100% owned domesticsubsidiaries, contain no maintenance covenants and only limited incurrence covenants, under which we have considerable flexibility. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture, we arelimited on the amount of restricted payments including dividends that we can make. These limitations are generally governed by a fixed charge ratio incurrence test and an overall restricted payments basket.

As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants required under the 2018 Notes.

Other Borrowing Facilities

· Cardtronics Mexico equipment financing agreements. Between 2007 and 2010, Cardtronics Mexico entered into several separate five-year equipment financing agreements with a single lender, of which four agreements have remaining balances as of September 30, 2013. These agreements, which are denominated in pesos and bear interest at an average fixed rate of 9.99%, were utilized for the purchase of ATMs to support the growth in our Mexico operations. As of September 30, 2013,  approximately $22.3 millionpesos ($1.7 million U.S.) were outstanding under the agreements, with any future borrowings to be individually negotiated between the lender and Cardtronics Mexico. Pursuant to the terms of the loan agreements, we have issued guarantees for 51.0% of the obligations under these agreements (consistent with our ownership percentage in Cardtronics Mexico). As of September 30, 2013, the total amount of these guarantees was $11.4 million pesos ($0.9 million U.S.).

· Bank Machine overdraft facility. Bank Machine has a £1.0 million overdraft facility. This overdraft facility, which bears interest at 1.0% over the Bank of England’s base rate (0.5% as of September 30, 2013) and is secured by a letter of credit posted under our revolving credit facility, is utilized for general corporate purposes for our U.K. operations. As of September 30, 2013,  there were no amounts outstanding under this overdraft facility. The letter of credit we have posted that is associated with this overdraft facility reduces the available borrowing capacity under our corporate revolving credit facility discussed above.  

New Accounting Standards

For a description of the accounting standard that we adopted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, see Part I. Financial Information, Item 1. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 17, New Accounting Pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The following market risk disclosures should be read in conjunction with the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk contained in the2012 Form 10-K.  

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The following quantitative and qualitative information is provided about financial instruments to which we were a party at September 30, 2013, and from which we may incur future gains or losses from changes in market interest rates or foreign currency exchange prices. We do not enter into derivative or other financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Hypothetical changes in interest rates and foreign currencies chosen for the following estimated sensitivity analysis are considered to be reasonably possible near-term changes generally based on consideration of past fluctuations for each risk category.  However, since it is not possible to accurately predict future changes in interest rates and foreign currencies, these hypothetical changes may not necessarily be an indicator of probable future fluctuations.

Interest Rate Risk

Vault cash rental expense. Because our ATM vault cash rental expense is based on market rates of interest, it is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates in the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Mexico, and Canada. In the U.S. and the U.K., we pay a monthly fee to our vault cash providers on the average amount of vault cash outstanding under a formula based on the U.S. and U.K. LIBOR rates, respectively. In Mexico, we pay a monthly fee to our vault cash provider under a formula based on the Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate (commonly referred to as the “TIIE”).  In Canada, we pay interest to our vault cash providers based on the average amount of vault cash outstanding under a formula based on the Bank of Canada’s bankers’ acceptance rate.

As a result of the significant sensitivity surrounding the vault cash rental expense for our U.S. and U.K. operations, we have entered into a number of interest rate swaps to effectively fix the rate we pay on the amounts of our current and anticipated outstanding vault cash balances. The following swaps currently in place serve to fix the rate utilized for our vault cash rental agreements in the U.S. and the U.K. for the following notional amounts and periods:

The following table presents a hypothetical sensitivity analysis of our annual vault cash rental expense based on our average outstanding vault cash balances for the quarter endedSeptember 30, 2013(as we are invoiced monthly by the vault cash provider based on average balance outstanding) and assuming a 100 basis point increase in interest rates:

Total			$	2,436.7			$	24.4			$	14.0

Starting this year and continuing for several years thereafter, our expected exposure to changes in interest rates on our outstanding vault cash balances is expected to be somewhat lower than is presented in the table above. This expected reduction in exposure to floating interest rates is primarily the result of forward-starting swaps entered in prior years, which increase our overall hedged position by $250.0 million in 2014 and an additional $50.0 million in 2015 on our vault cash balances outstanding in the U.S. These incremental swaps are partially offset by a  reduction in outstanding interest rate swap agreements related to the vault cash in our U.K. operations during the same time period. Our sensitivity to changes in interest rates in the U.K. is somewhat mitigated by the interchange rate setting methodology that impacts the majority of our U.K. interchange revenue. Effectively, the interest rates and cash costs from two years back are considered for determining the interchange rate (i.e., interest rates and other costs from 2011 are considered for determining the 2013 interchange rate). As a result of this structure, should interest rates rise in the U.K., causing our operating expenses to rise, we would expect to see a rise in interchange rates (and our revenues), albeit with a lag. We expect some growth in outstanding vault cash balances as a result of expected future business growth, and we may continue to seek ways to mitigate our exposure to floating interest rates by engaging in additional interest rate swaps in the future.

As of September 30, 2013, we had a net liability of $75.4 million recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet related to our interest rate swaps, which represented the fair value liability of the agreements, as derivative instruments are required to be carried at fair value. Fair value was calculated as the present value of amounts estimated to be received or paid to a marketplace participant in a selling transaction. These swaps are valued using pricing models based on significant other observable inputs (Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy established by U.S. GAAP), while taking into account the nonperformance risk of the party that is in the liability position with respect to each trade. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges; accordingly, changes in the fair values of the swaps have been reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net line item in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Due to our determination that net deferred tax assets are realizable in the future, we record the unrealized loss amounts related to our interest rate swaps net of estimated taxes in the Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net line item within Stockholders’ equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of September 30, 2013, we had not entered into any derivative financial instruments to hedge our variable interest rate exposure in Mexico, Germany or Canada, as we do not deem it to be cost effective to engage in such a hedging program.  However, we may enter into derivative financial instruments in the future to hedge our interest rate exposure in those markets.

Interest expense. Our interest expense is also sensitive to changes in interest rates in the U.S., as borrowings under our revolving credit facility accrue interest at floating rates. Based on the $256.1 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2013, an increase of 100 basis points in the underlying interest rate would have had a $1.9 million impact on our

51

interest expense in the nine months then ended. However, there is no guarantee that we will not borrow additional amounts under our revolving credit facility in the future, and, in the event we borrow amounts and interest rates significantly increase, the interest that wewould be required to pay would be more significant.We have not entered into interest rate hedging arrangements in the past to hedge our interest rate risk for our borrowings, and have no plans to do so. Due to fluctuating balances in the amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility, we do not believe such arrangements to be cost effective.

Outlook.If we continue to experience low short-term interest rates in the U.S. and the U.K., it will be beneficial to the amount of interest expense we incur under our bank credit facilities and our vault cash rental expense. Although we currently hedge a substantial portion of our vault cash interest rate risk, as noted above, we may not be able to enter into similar arrangements for similar amounts in the future, and any significant increase in interest rates in the future could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations by increasing our operating costs and expenses. However, we expect that the impact on our financial statements from a significant increase in interest rates would be partially mitigated by the interest rate swaps that we currently have in place associated with our vault cash balances in the U.S. and the U.K.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

As a result of our operations in the U.K., Germany, Mexico, and Canada, we are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, specifically with respect to changes in the U.S. dollar relative to the British pound, Euro, Mexican peso, and the Canadian dollar. All of our international subsidiaries are consolidated into our financial results and are subject to risks typical of international businesses including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Furthermore, we are required to translate the financial condition and results of our international operations into U.S. dollars, with any corresponding translation gains or losses being recorded in other comprehensive income in our consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2013, this accumulated translation loss totaled approximately $20.3 million compared to approximately $24.6million as of December 31, 2012.

Our consolidated financial results were not materially impacted by the change in value of the British pound,  Euro, Mexican peso, or Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollarduring the threeand nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period. A sensitivity analysis indicates that, if the U.S. dollar uniformly strengthened or weakened 10% against the British pound, the effect upon our U.K. operations’ operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 would have been approximately $0.3 million. Similarly, a sensitivity analysis indicates that if the U.S. dollar uniformly strengthened or weakened 10% against the Mexican peso for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the effect upon the respective subsidiary’s operating income would have been approximately $0.3 million.  Finally, a sensitivity analysis indicates that if the U.S. dollar uniformly strengthened or weakened 10% against the Canadian dollar or the Euro for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the effect upon the respective subsidiary’s operating income would have been immaterial. At this time, we have not deemed it to be cost effective to engage in a program of hedging the effect of foreign currency fluctuations on our operating results using derivative financial instruments.

Certain intercompany balances between our U.S. parent company and our U.K. operations are designated as short-term in nature, and the changes in these balances are translated in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk as it relates to these intercompany balances. As of September 30, 2013, the intercompany payable balance from our U.K. operations to our U.S. parent company denominated in U.S. dollarstotaled $94.1 million, of which $87.8 million was deemed to be short-term in nature. A sensitivity analysis indicates that, if the U.S. dollar uniformly strengthened or weakened 10% against the British pound, based on the intercompany payable balance as of September 30, 2013, the effect upon our Consolidated Statements of Operations would be approximately $8.8 million. However, we manage the majority of this risk by borrowing in British pounds through the third-party credit facility in our U.S. operations. This structure effectively manages the foreign currency exposure of these short-term designated intercompany balances as currency gains or losses in the intercompany borrowings are largely offset by currency gains or losses on our third party borrowings.

We do not hold derivative commodity instruments, and all of our cash and cash equivalents are held in money market and checking funds.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Quarterly Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2013 at the reasonable assurance level.

52

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a description of our material pending legal and regulatory proceedings and settlements, see Part I.Financial Information,Item 1. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The known material risks we face are described in our 2012 Form 10-K under Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors. There have been no material changes in our risk factors since that report, except as follows:

We maintain a significant amount of cash within our Company-owned devices, which is subject to potential loss due to theft or other events, including natural disasters.

As of September 30, 2013, there was approximately $2.5 billion in vault cash held in our domestic and international Company-owned ATMs. Any loss of cash from our ATMs is generally our responsibility.  We typically require that our service providers, who either transport the cash or otherwise have access to the ATM safe, maintain adequate insurance coverage in the event cash losses occur as a result of theft, misconduct, or negligence on the part of such providers. Cash losses at the ATM occur in a variety of ways, such as natural disaster (hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.), fires, vandalism, and physical removal of the entire ATM, defeating the interior safe or by compromising the ATM’s technology components.  Because our ATMs are often installed at retail sites, they face greater exposure to attempts of theft and vandalism. Thefts of cash may be the result of an individual acting alone or as a part of a crime group. In recent periods, we have seen an increase in theft of cash from our ATMs across all of the geographic regions in which we operate.  While we maintain our own insurance policies to cover a significant portion of any losses that may occur that are not covered by the insurance policies maintained by our service providers, such insurance coverage is subject to deductibles, exclusions and limitations that may leave us bearing some or all of those losses.

Any increase in the frequency and/or amounts of theft and other losses could negatively impact our operating results by causing higher deductible payments and increased insurance premiums. Additionally, any damage sustained to our merchant customers’ store locations in connection with any ATM-related thefts, if extensive and frequent enough in nature, could negatively impact our relationships with those merchants and impair our ability to deploy additional ATMs in those existing or new locations of those merchants. Certain merchants have requested, and could request in the future, that we remove ATMs from store locations that have suffered damage as a result of ATM-related thefts, thus negatively impacting our financial results.  Finally, we have in the past, and may in the future, voluntarily remove cash from certain ATMs on a temporary or permanent basis to mitigate further losses arising from theft or vandalism. Depending on the magnitude and duration of any cash removal, our revenues and profits could be materially and adversely affected.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers. The following table provides information about purchases of equity securities that are registered by us pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act during the three months ended September 30, 2013:

In future periods, we may not permit individuals to sell their shares to us in order to satisfy such tax liabilities. Since the number of restricted shares that will become unrestricted each year is dependent upon the continued employment of the award recipients, we cannot forecast either the total amount of such securities or the approximate dollar value of those securities that we might purchase in future years as the forfeiture restrictions on such shares lapse.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in an individual equity award agreement, in the event that the Executive resigns for any reason other than Good Reason or the Executive is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Executive will forfeit all unvested equity compensation awards that were granted to the Executive by the Company or the Parent that the Executive holds on the Date of Termination.

11

that was expected to continue indefinitely had no termination of employment occurred) or the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which the termination of employment occurs, such payments of such installment amounts in excess of the amount described in clause (z) above that would otherwise have been paid during such six-month period shall be accumulated and paid on the date that is six months after the Date of Termination or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid or provided under Section 409A of the Code without being subject to additional taxes and interest.  The right to payment of the installment amounts pursuant to this paragraph shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

(B)During the portion, if any, of the 12-month period following the Date of Termination that Executive elects to continue coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents under the Company’s group health plans under COBRA, and/or Sections 601 through 608 of ERISA, the Company shall promptly reimburse Executive on a monthly basis for the amount Executive pays to effect and continue such coverage.

(f)The restrictions contained in Section 8.2 shall not apply to any product or services that the Company provided during Executive’s employment but that the Company no longer provides at the Date of Termination.

8.3Relief.  Executive and the Company agree and acknowledge that the limitations as to time, geographical area and scope of activity to be restrained as set forth in Section 8.2 hereof are reasonable and do not impose any greater restraint than is necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company. Executive and the Company also acknowledge that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article VIII by Executive, and the Company or its affiliates shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Article VIII by terminating payments then owing to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise and to specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach.  Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Article VIII but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity, including the recovery of damages from Executive and Executive’s agents. However, if it is determined that Executive has not committed a breach of this Article VIII, then the Company shall resume the payments and benefits due under this Agreement and pay to Executive all payments and benefits that had been suspended pending such determination.

8.4Reasonableness; Enforcement.  Executive hereby represents to the Company that Executive has read and understands, and agrees to be bound by, the terms of this Article VIII. Executive acknowledges that the geographic scope and duration of the covenants contained in this Article VIII are the result of arm’s-length bargaining and are fair and reasonable in light of (a) the nature and wide geographic scope of the operations of the Business, (b) Executive’s level of control over and contact with the Business in all jurisdictions in which it is conducted, (c) the fact that the Business is conducted throughout the Restricted Area and (d) the amount of compensation and Confidential Information that Executive is receiving in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Article VIII be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, whether now or hereafter in effect and therefore, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Executive and the Company hereby waive any provision of applicable Legal Requirements that would render any provision of this Article VIII invalid or unenforceable.

8.5Reformation. The Company and Executive agree that the foregoing restrictions are reasonable under the circumstances and that any breach of the covenants contained in this Article VIII would cause irreparable injury to the Company. Executive understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit Executive’s ability to engage in certain businesses anywhere in the Restricted Area during the Prohibited Period, but acknowledges that Executive will receive sufficiently high remuneration and other benefits from the Company to justify such restriction. Further, Executive acknowledges that Executive’s skills are such that Executive can be gainfully employed in non-competitive employment, and that the agreement not to compete will not prevent Executive from

17

earning a living. Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or overly broad as to geographic area or time, or otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions herein set forth to be modified by the court making such determination so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified, to be fully enforced. By agreeing to this contractual modification prospectively at this time, the Company and Executive intend to make this provision enforceable under the law or laws of all applicable States, Provinces and other jurisdictions so that the entire agreement not to compete and this Agreement as prospectively modified shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be rendered void or illegal. Such modification shall not affect the payments made to Executive under this Agreement.

APPENDIX A

RELEASE AGREEMENT

This Release Agreement (this “Agreement”) constitutes the release referred to in that certain Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) dated as of _______________ ____, 20___, by and between David Dove(“Executive”) and Cardtronics USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

(a)For good and valuable consideration, including the Company’s provision of certain payments and benefits to Executive in accordance with Section 7.1(b) of the Employment Agreement, Executive hereby releases, discharges and forever acquits the Company, Cardtronics, Inc., their affiliates and subsidiaries and the past, present and future stockholders, members, partners, directors, managers, employees, agents, attorneys, heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the foregoing, in their personal and representative capacities (collectively, the “Company Parties”), from liability for, and hereby waives, any and all claims, damages, or causes of action of any kind for Executive’s employment with any Company Party, the termination of such employment, and any other acts or omissions on or prior to the date of this Agreement including without limitation any alleged violation through the date of this Agreement of:  (i) the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended; (ii) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; (iii) the Civil Rights Act of 1991; (iv) Section 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United States Code, as amended; (v) the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; (vi) the Immigration Reform Control Act, as amended; (vii) the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended; (viii) the National Labor Relations Act, as amended; (ix) the Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended; (x) the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; (xi) any state anti-discrimination law; (xii) any state wage and hour law; (xiii) any other local, state or federal law, regulation or ordinance; (xiv) any public policy, contract, tort, or common law claim; (xv) any allegation for costs, fees, or other expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters; (xvi) any and all rights, benefits or claims Executive may have under any employment contract, incentive compensation plan or stock option plan with any Company Party or to any ownership interest in any Company Party except as expressly provided in the Employment Agreement and any stock option or other equity compensation agreement between Executive and the Company and (xvii) any claim for compensation or benefits of any kind not expressly set forth in the Employment Agreement or any such stock option or other equity compensation agreement (collectively, the “Released Claims”).  In no event shall the Released Claims include (a) any claim which arises after the date of this Agreement, or (b) any claim to vested benefits under an employee benefit plan, or (c) any claims for contractual payments under the Employment Agreement, (d) rights and claims Executive cannot by law waive (e.g., claims for unemployment insurance benefits, claims under workers’ compensation laws); (e) rights and claims to indemnification from or by the Company pursuant to any applicable provision of the Company’s by-laws or charter, applicable indemnification or analogous agreement, or insurance policy covering activities and actions taken by Executive as an agent, officer or employee of Company, or (f) rights and claims regarding equity granted by the Company to Executive, including but not limited to the time-based restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock granted hereunder, which rights shall be governed by the applicable equity agreement and plan.  Notwithstanding this release of liability, nothing in this Agreement prevents Executive from filing any non-legally waivable claim (including a challenge to the validity of this Agreement) with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or

1

comparable state or local agency or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC or comparable state or local agency; however, Executive understands and agrees that Executive is waiving any and all rights to recover any monetary or personal relief or recovery as a result of such EEOC, or comparable state or local agency proceeding or subsequent legal actions. This Agreement is not intended to indicate that any such claims exist or that, if they do exist, they are meritorious.  Rather, Executive is simply agreeing that, in exchange for the consideration recited in the first sentence of this paragraph, any and all potential claims of this nature that Executive may have against the Company Parties as of the date of this Agreement, regardless of whether they actually exist, are expressly settled, compromised and waived.  By signing this Agreement, Executive is bound by it.  Anyone who succeeds to Executive’s rights and responsibilities, such as heirs or the executor of Executive’s estate, is also bound by this Agreement.  This release also applies to any claims brought by any person or agency or class action under which Executive may have a right or benefit.  THIS RELEASE INCLUDES MATTERS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE SOLE OR PARTIAL NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER GROSS OR SIMPLE) OR OTHER FAULT, INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY, OF ANY OF THE COMPANY PARTIES.  

(b)Executive agrees not to bring or join, but may defend, any lawsuit against any of the Company Parties in any court relating to any of the Released Claims.  Executive represents that Executive has not brought or joined any lawsuit or filed any charge or claim against any of the Company Parties in any court or before any government agency and has made no assignment of any rights Executive has asserted or may have against any of the Company Parties to any person or entity, in each case, with respect to any Released Claims.

(c)By executing and delivering this Agreement, Executive acknowledges that:

(i)Executive has carefully read this Agreement;

(ii)Executive has had at least twenty-one (21) days to consider this Agreement before the execution and delivery hereof to the Company;

(iii)Executive has been and hereby is advised in writing that Executive may, at Executive’s option, discuss this Agreement with an attorney of Executive’s choice and that Executive has had adequate opportunity to do so; and

(iv)Executive fully understands the final and binding effect of this Agreement; the only promises made to Executive to sign this Agreement are those stated in the Employment Agreement and herein; and Executive is signing this Agreement voluntarily and of Executive’s own free will, and that Executive understands and agrees to each of the terms of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the initial effectiveness of this Agreement, Executive may revoke the delivery (and therefore the effectiveness) of this Agreement within the seven day period beginning on the date Executive delivers this Agreement to the Company (such seven day period being referred to herein as the “Release Revocation Period”).  To be effective, such revocation must be in writing signed by Executive and must be delivered to the address of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company before 11:59 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on the last day of the Release Revocation Period. If an effective revocation is delivered in the foregoing manner and timeframe, this

2

Agreement shall be of no force or effect and shall be null and void ab initio.  No consideration shall be paid if this Agreement is revoked by Executive in the foregoing manner.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset Retirement Obligations [Abstract]

Asset Retirement Obligations

(10) Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset retirement obligations consist primarily of costs to deinstall the Company's ATMs and costs to restore the ATM sites to their original condition, which are estimated based on current market rates. In most cases, the Company is contractually required to perform this deinstallation and restoration work. For each group of ATMs, the Company has recognized the fair value of the asset retirement obligation as a liability on its balance sheet and capitalized that cost as part of the cost basis of the related asset. The related assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over five years, which is the estimated average time period that an ATM is installed in a location before being deinstalled, and the related liabilities are accreted to their full value over the same period of time. As reflected in the table below, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company revised its estimated future liabilities based on recent actual experience, changes in certain customer-specific estimates and other cost estimate changes. The changes in estimated future costs were recorded as a reduction in the carrying amount of the remaining unamortized asset and will reduce the Company’s depreciation and accretion expense amounts in future periods.

The following table is a summary of the changes in the Company's asset retirement obligation liability for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2013(in thousands):

Asset retirement obligation as of January 1, 2013	$	44,696
Additional obligations		3,205
Estimated obligations assumed in Cardpoint acquisition		17,496
Accretion expense		1,972
Change in estimates		(6,023)

Asset retirement obligation as of September 30, 2013	$	59,502

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

(3) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company calculates the fair value of stock-based awards granted to employees and directors on the date of grant and recognizes the calculated fair value, net of estimated forfeitures, as compensation expense over the requisite service periods of the related awards. The following table reflects the total stock-based compensation expense amounts included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods indicated: 

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
	(In thousands)
Cost of ATM operating revenues	$	239	$	231	$	651	$	754
Selling, general, and administrative expenses		2,932		2,452		8,264		7,937
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	3,171	$	2,683	$	8,915	$	8,691

The increase in stock-based compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year was due to additional expense recognition from the additional grants made during the periods. All grants during the periods above were made under the Company's Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2007 Stock Incentive Plan").

Restricted Stock Awards.  The number of the Company's outstanding Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”) as of September 30, 2013, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, are presented below:

	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
RSAs outstanding as of January 1, 2013		632,107	$	16.36
Granted		97,401	$	26.86
Vested		(232,913)	$	14.57
Forfeited		(71,872)	$	24.30
RSAs outstanding as of September 30, 2013		424,723	$	18.38

As of September 30, 2013, the unrecognized compensation expense associated with all outstanding restricted share grants was approximately $4.6million, which will be recognized on a straight-line basis over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately 2.2 years.

Restricted Stock Units.  In the first quarter of each year since 2011, the Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under its Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), which is an annual equity award program under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. The ultimate number of RSUs to be earned and outstanding are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Committee") on an annual basis, and are based on the Company's achievement of certain performance levels during the calendar year of its grant. The majority of these grants have both a performance-based and a service-based vesting schedule (“Performance-RSUs”), and the Company recognizes the related compensation expense based on the estimated performance levels that management believes will ultimately be met. Starting with the grants made in 2013, a portion of the awards have only a service-based vesting schedule (“Time-RSUs”), for which the associated expense is recognized ratably over four years. Performance-RSUs and Time-RSUsare convertible into the Company’s common stock after the passage of the vesting periods, which are 24,  36, and 48 months from January 31 of the grant year, at the rate of 50%, 25%, and 25%, respectively. Performance-RSUs will be earned only if the Company achieves certain performance levels. Although the RSUs are not considered to be earned and outstanding until at least the minimum performance metrics are met, the Company recognizes the related compensation expense over the requisite service period (or to an employee’s qualified retirement date, if earlier) using a graded vesting methodology. RSUs are also granted outside of LTIPs, with or without performance-based vesting requirements.

The number of the Company's non-vested RSUs as of September 30, 2013, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, are presented below:

	Number of Units		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested RSUs as of January 1, 2013		749,948	$	20.01
Granted		262,744	$	31.56
Vested		(261,503)	$	17.00
Forfeited		(12,529)	$	22.51
Non-vested RSUs as of September 30, 2013		738,660	$	25.14

The above table only includes earned RSUs; therefore, the Performance-RSUs granted in 2013 but not yet earned are not included, but the Time-RSUs are included as granted.

As of September 30, 2013, the unrecognized compensation expense associated with earned RSUs was approximately $10.0 million, which will be recognized using a graded vesting schedule for Performance-RSUs and a straight-line vesting schedule for Time-RSUs, over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately 2.8 years.

Options.  The number of the Company's outstanding stock options as of September 30, 2013, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, are presented below:

	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Options outstanding as of January 1, 2013		552,799	$	9.68
Exercised		(212,499)	$	9.69
Forfeited		(1,875)	$	11.05
Options outstanding as of September 30, 2013		338,425	$	9.67
Options vested and exercisable as of September 30, 2013		332,675	$	9.64

As of September 30, 2013, the unrecognized compensation expense associated with outstanding options was approximately $12,000,  which will be recognized on a straight-line basis over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately 0.4 years.

General And Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]

Basis Of Presentation and Consolidation

Basis of Presentation

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Form 10-Q") has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable to interim financial information. Because this is an interim period filing presented using a condensed format, it does not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. You should read this Form 10-Q along with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the "2012 Form 10-K"), which includes a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies and other disclosures.

The financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are unaudited. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012 was derived from the audited balance sheet filed in the 2012 Form 10-K. In management's opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's interim and prior period results have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cardtronics, Inc. and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Because the Company owns a majority (51.0%) interest in, and realizes a majority of the earnings and/or losses of, Cardtronics Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“Cardtronics Mexico”), this entity is reflected as a consolidated subsidiary in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, with the remaining ownership interests not held by the Company being reflected as noncontrolling interests.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could be material to the financial statements.

(1) General and Basis of Presentation

General

Cardtronics, Inc., along with its wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") provides convenient consumer financial services through its network of automated teller machines ("ATMs") and multi-function financial services kiosks. As of September 30, 2013, the Company provided services to over80,400 devices across its portfolio, which included approximately 63,500 devices located in all 50 states of the United States ("U.S.") as well as in the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, approximately 11,500 devices throughout the United Kingdom ("U.K."), approximately 800 devices throughout Germany, approximately 2,000 devices throughout Canada, andapproximately 2,600 devices throughout Mexico. Included in the number of devices in the U.S. are approximately 2,200 multi-function financial services kiosks that, in addition to traditional ATM functions such as cash dispensing and bank account balance inquiries, perform other consumer financial services, including bill payments, check cashing, remote deposit capture (which is deposit taking at ATMs using electronic imaging), and money transfers. Also included in the total count of 80,400 devices are approximately 13,900 devices for which the Company provides various forms of managed services solutions, which may include services such as transaction processing, monitoring, maintenance, cash management, communications, and customer service.

Through its network, the Company provides ATM management and equipment-related services (typically under multi-year contracts) to large, nationally and regionally-known retail merchants as well as smaller retailers and operators of facilities such as shopping malls and airports. In doing so, the Company provides its retail partners with a compelling automated financial services solution that helps attract and retain customers, and in turn, increases the likelihood that the devices placed at their facilities will be utilized.

In addition to its retail merchant relationships, the Company also partners with leading national financial institutions to brand selected ATMs and financial services kiosks within its network, including Citibank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Sovereign Bank, N.A., PNC Bank, N.A., Frost Bank, The Bank of Nova Scotia (“Scotiabank”) in Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, and Grupo Financiero Banorte, S.A. de C.V. in Mexico. As of September 30, 2013,  approximately 18,400 of the Company’s domestic devices, approximately 2,000 of the Company’s ATMs in Mexico, and approximately 500 of the Company’s ATMs in Canada were under contract with financial institutions to place their logos on those machines, and to provide convenient surcharge-free access for their banking customers.

The Company also owns and operates the Allpoint network, the largest surcharge-free ATM network within the U.S. (based on the number of participating ATMs). The Allpoint network, which has more than 55,000 participating ATMs globally, provides surcharge-free ATM access to customers of participating financial institutions that lack a significant ATM network in exchange for either a fixed monthly fee per cardholder or a set fee per transaction that is paid by the financial institutions who are members of the network. The Allpoint network includes a majority of the Company’s ATMs in the U.S., U.K., Puerto Rico and Mexico, approximately a quarter of the Company’s ATMs in Canada, and over 5,000 locations in Australia through a partnership with a local ATM owner and operator in that market. Allpoint also works with financial institutions that manage stored-value debit card programs on behalf of corporate entities and governmental agencies, including general purpose, payroll and electronic benefits transfer (“EBT”) cards. Under these programs, the issuing financial institutions pay Allpoint a fee per issued stored-value card or per transaction in return for allowing the users of those cards surcharge-free access to Allpoint’s participating ATM network.

Finally, the Company owns and operates an electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) transaction processing platform that provides transaction processing services to its network of ATMs and financial services kiosks as well as other ATMs under managed services arrangements.

Basis of Presentation

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Form 10-Q") has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable to interim financial information. Because this is an interim period filing presented using a condensed format, it does not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. You should read this Form 10-Q along with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the "2012 Form 10-K"), which includes a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies and other disclosures.

The financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are unaudited. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012 was derived from the audited balance sheet filed in the 2012 Form 10-K. In management's opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's interim and prior period results have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cardtronics, Inc. and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Because the Company owns a majority (51.0%) interest in, and realizes a majority of the earnings and/or losses of, Cardtronics Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“Cardtronics Mexico”), this entity is reflected as a consolidated subsidiary in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, with the remaining ownership interests not held by the Company being reflected as noncontrolling interests.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could be material to the financial statements.

Cost of ATM Operating Revenues and Gross Profit Presentation

The Company presents Cost of ATM operating revenues and Gross profit within its Consolidated Statements of Operations exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization expense related to ATMs and ATM-related assets.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

(4) Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company reports its earnings per share under the two-class method. Under this method, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share (as well as their related impact on the net income available to common stockholders) when their impact on net income available to common stockholders is anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 included all outstanding stock options and shares of restricted stock, which were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for these periods.

Additionally, the shares of restricted stock issued by the Company have a non-forfeitable right to cash dividends, if and when declared by the Company.  Accordingly, restricted shares are considered to be participating securities and, as such, the Company has allocated the undistributed earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 among the Company's outstanding shares of common stock and issued but unvested restricted shares, as follows:

Earnings (Loss) per Share (in thousands, excluding share and per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2013						Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
	Loss		Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		Loss Per Share		Income		Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		Earnings Per Share

The computation of diluted earnings per share excluded potentially dilutive common shares related to restricted stock (including both RSAs and RSUs) of 492,376 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2013,  and 592,130 and 646,503 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, because the effect of including these shares in the computation would have been anti-dilutive.

(2) Acquisitions

Acquisition of the Cardpoint ATM Portfolio

On August 7, 2013,  Cardtronics Europe Limited (“Cardtronics Europe”), a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,entered into, and consummated the transactions contemplated by, the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) including the purchase of all of the outstanding shares issued by Cardpoint Limited (“Cardpoint”) from Payzone Ventures Limited (the “Seller”) and the individuals named as warrantors in the Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Cardtronics Europe acquired all of the outstanding shares issued by Cardpoint for purchase consideration of £100.0 million ($153.5 million) in cash, which included the aggregate amount required to be paid (including principal and interest) in order to fully discharge all of Cardpoint’s outstanding indebtedness to the Seller at closing. Additionally, as part of the Purchase Agreement, Cardtronics Europe entered into a locked box agreement, under which additional cash at closing was paid to the Seller in the amount of approximately£5.9 million ($9.0 million) as additional consideration for earnings since February 28, 2013.  No further working capital adjustments are required under the Purchase Agreement. The Company also paid to certain members of Cardpoint’s management transaction bonuses on behalf of the Seller in an aggregate amount of approximately£0.5 million($0.7 million), pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The total amount paid for the acquisition was approximately £105.4 million ($161.8 million) at closing, which was financed through borrowings under the Company’s amended revolving credit facility.  

As a result of the Cardpoint acquisition, the Company significantly increased the size of its European operations.  Cardpoint operated approximately 7,100 ATMs in the U.K. and approximately 800 ATMs in Germany, substantially all of which were owned by Cardpoint.  Approximately one fourth of the ATMs deployed in the U.K. are placed with well-known multi-location retailers, whereas the remainder of the ATMs in the U.K., and most of the ATMs in Germany, are primarily placed with individual merchants at their retail locations. 

The results of operations of the acquired Cardpoint portfolio have been included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations subsequent to the August 7, 2013 acquisition date. Revenue and net income of $17.8million and $3.5  million, respectively, were included in both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013. The earnings contribution excludes approximately $3.6million in acquisition-related expenses incurred during the quarter related to this acquisition. The acquisition-related expenses incurred year-to-date for this acquisition totaled $4.5million.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (amounts in thousands). The total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. This allocation resulted in goodwill of approximately $81.3million, all of which has been assigned to the Company's Europe reporting segment, which now includes operations from both the U.K. and Germany. The recognized goodwill is primarily attributable to expected synergies. None of the goodwill or intangible asset amounts are expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The Company expects to complete its purchase accounting during the fourth quarter of 2013, when it plans to finalize the fair value measurement of acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

Net assets acquired	$	161,829

The fair values of intangible assets acquired have been initially estimated by utilizing a discounted cash flow approach, with the assistance of an independent appraisal firm. The intangible assets acquired as part of the Cardpoint acquisition are being amortized on a straight-line basis, and the preliminary fair values consist of the following: 

	Fair Values		Useful Lives	Weighted Average Period Before Next Renewal
Customer contracts	$	62,824	7 years	3.9 years
Trade name		9,556	5 years	N/A
Non-compete agreements		1,494	3 years	N/A

Pro Forma Results of Operations

The following table presents the unaudited pro forma combined results of operations of the Company and the acquired Cardpoint portfolios for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments including: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) the impact of certain fair value adjustments such as depreciation on the acquired property and equipment, and (iii) interest expense adjustment for historical long-term debt of Cardpoint that was repaid and interest expense on additional borrowings by the Company to fund the acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma financial results do not reflect the impact of other acquisitions consummated by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (see further details below), as the impact would not be material to its condensed consolidated results of operations. The unaudited pro forma financial results assume that the Cardpoint acquisition occurred on January 1, 2012, and are not necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had those transactions been completed on that date. Furthermore, it does not reflect the impacts of any potential operating efficiencies, savings from expected synergies, or costs to integrate the operations. The unaudited pro forma financial results are not necessarily indicative of the future results to be expected for the consolidated operations.

Other Acquisitions

On March 7, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of i-design group plc (“i-design”), a Scotland-based provider and developer of marketing and advertising software and services for ATM owners. Additionally, on May 1, 2013 and June 3, 2013, the Company acquired the majority of the assets of Aptus Group, LLC (“Aptus”) and Merrimak ATM Group, LLC (“Merrimak”), respectively.  Both Aptus and Merrimak were providers of ATM services to fleets of approximately 3,300 ATMs and 4,800 ATMs, respectively, consisting primarily of merchant-owned machines.

The i-design, Aptus, and Merrimak acquisitions, both on an individual basis and on a combined basis, did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

(16) Segment Information

As of September 30, 2013, the Company's operations consisted of its U.S., Europe, and Other International segments. The Company's operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are included in its U.S. segment. The Other International segment currently is comprised of the Company’s operations in Mexico and Canada. Beginning this quarter, the U.K. segment was expanded and renamed the Europe segment to include Germany, as a result of the Cardpoint acquisition.While each of these reporting segments provides similar kiosk-based and/or ATM-related services, each segment is currently managed separately as they require different marketing and business strategies.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, along with other U.S. GAAP-based measures, to assess the operating results and effectiveness of its segments. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure because it allows management to more effectively evaluate operating performance and compare its results of operations from period to period without regard to financing method or capital structure. The Company excludes depreciation, accretion, and amortization expense as these amounts can vary substantially depending upon book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect acquisition-related costs and the Company's obligations for the payment of income taxes, loss on disposal of assets, interest expense, certain other non-operating and nonrecurring items or other obligations such as capital expenditures.

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In evaluating the Company's performance as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measurement. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA is only one of the measurements that management utilizes. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to controlling interests:

Long-Term Debt [Abstract]

Long-Term Debt

(9) Long-Term Debt

The Company's long-term debt consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
	(In thousands)
8.25% Senior subordinated notes due September 2018	$	200,000	$	200,000
Revolving credit facility, including swing-line credit facility (weighted-average combined interest rate of 2.1% and 2.2% as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively)		256,066		152,000
Equipment financing notes		1,704		2,819
Total		457,770		354,819
Less: current portion		1,387		1,467
Total long-term debt, excluding current portion	$	456,383	$	353,352

Revolving Credit Facility

As of September 30, 2013, the Company's revolving credit facility provided for $375.0 million in borrowings and letters of credit (subject to the covenants contained within the facility) and had a termination date of July 2016.The revolving credit facility was amended on August 5, 2013, in anticipation of the completion of the Cardpoint acquisition. This amendment expanded the borrowing capacity from $250.0 million to $375.0 million and amended certain covenants to allow for certain indebtedness, investments, acquisitions, intercompany loans and dispositions of assets made in connection with the Cardpoint acquisition. There were no other material modifications made to the Company's revolving credit facility.

This revolving credit facility includes a $15.0 million swing-line facility, an  $85.0 million foreign currency sub-limit, and a $20.0 million letter of credit sub-limit. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a variable rate, based upon the Company's total leverage ratio and the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or Alternative Base Rate (as defined in the agreement) at the Company's option. Additionally, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. Substantially all of the Company's assets, including the stock of its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the stock of its foreign subsidiaries, are pledged to secure borrowings made under the revolving credit facility. Furthermore, each of the Company's domestic subsidiaries has guaranteed the Company's obligations under the revolving credit facility. There are currently no restrictions on the ability of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends directly to us.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants and ratios under the facility, which are described in the 2012 Form 10-K and remain unchanged.  

As of September 30, 2013, $256.1 million was outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Company has posted a $2.0 million letter of credit serving to secure the overdraft facility of its U.K. subsidiary (further discussed below) and a $0.1 million letter of credit serving to secure a third-party processing contract in Canada. These letters of credit, which the applicable third-parties may draw upon in the event the Company defaults on the related obligations, reduce the Company’s borrowing capacity under the facility. As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility totaled approximately $116.8 million.

$200.0 Million 8.25% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2018

The $200.0 million 8.25% senior subordinated notes due September 2018 (the "2018 Notes"), which are guaranteed by all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries, contain no maintenance covenants and only limited incurrence covenants, under which the Company has considerable flexibility. Interest under the 2018 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on March 1st and September 1st of each year. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants required under the 2018 Notes.

Other Borrowing Facilities

Cardtronics Mexico equipment financing agreements.Between 2007 and 2010, Cardtronics Mexico entered into several separate five-year equipment financing agreements with a single lender, of which four agreements have outstanding balances as of September 30, 2013. These agreements, which are denominated in pesos and bear interest at an average fixed rate of 9.99%, were utilized for the purchase of ATMs to support growth in the Company’s Mexico operations. As of September 30, 2013,  approximately $22.3 million pesos ($1.7 million U.S.) were outstanding under the agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the loan agreements, the Company has issued guarantees for 51.0% of the obligations under these agreements (consistent with its ownership percentage in Cardtronics Mexico). As of September 30, 2013, the total amount of these guarantees was $11.4 million pesos ($0.9 million U.S.).

Bank Machine overdraft facility.  Bank Machine, Ltd. (“Bank Machine”) has a £1.0 million overdraft facility. This overdraft facility, which bears interest at 1.0% over the bank’s base rate (0.5% as of September 30, 2013) and is secured by a letter of credit posted under the Company’s revolving credit facility as discussed above in the Revolving Credit Facility section, is utilized for general corporate purposes for the Company’s U.K. operations. As of September 30, 2013, there were no amounts outstanding under the overdraft facility.

The Company records unrealized gains and losses related to its interest rate swaps net of estimated taxes in the Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net line item within Stockholders' equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets since it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to realize the benefits associated with its net deferred tax asset positions in the future.

The Company currently believes that the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries will be reinvested for an indefinite period of time. Accordingly, no deferred taxes have been provided for the differences between the Company's book basis and underlying tax basis in these subsidiaries or on the foreign currency translation adjustment amounts.

(12) Derivative Financial Instruments

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including interest rate risk associated with its vault cash rental obligations and, to a lesser extent, borrowings under its revolving credit facility.  The Company is also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to its investments in its foreign subsidiaries.  While the Company does not currently utilize derivative instruments to hedge its foreign currency exchange rate risk, it does utilize interest rate swap contracts to manage the interest rate risk associated with its vault cash rental obligations in the U.S. and the U.K.  The Company does not currently utilize any derivative instruments to manage the interest rate risk associated with its vault cash rental obligations in Mexico, Canada, or Germany, nor does it utilize derivative instruments to manage the interest rate risk associated with borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility.

The interest rate swap contracts entered into with respect to the Company's vault cash rental obligations serve to mitigate the Company's exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of the Company's monthly floating rate vault cash rental obligations to a fixed rate.  The Company has contracts in varying notional amounts through December 31, 2018 for the Company's U.S. vault cash rental obligations.  By converting such amounts to a fixed rate, the impact of future interest rate changes (both favorable and unfavorable) on the Company's monthly vault cash rental expense amounts has been reduced.  The interest rate swap contracts typically involve the receipt of floating rate amounts from the Company's counterparties that match, in all material respects, the floating rate amounts required to be paid by the Company to its vault cash providers for the portions of the Company's outstanding vault cash obligations that have been hedged.  In return, the Company typically pays the interest rate swap counterparties a fixed rate amount per month based on the same notional amounts outstanding.  At no point is there an exchange of the underlying principal or notional amounts associated with the interest rate swaps. Additionally, none of the Company's existing interest rate swap contracts contain credit-risk-related contingent features.

For each derivative instrument that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedge transaction affects earnings.  Gains and losses on the derivative instrument representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components that are excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in earnings.  However, because the Company currently only utilizes fixed-for-floating interest rate swaps in which the underlying pricing terms agree, in all material respects, with the pricing terms of the Company’s vault cash rental obligations, the amount of ineffectiveness associated with such interest rate swap contracts has historically been immaterial.  Accordingly, no ineffectiveness amounts associated with the Company’s effective cash flow hedges have been recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the current period.

 The notional amounts, weighted average fixed rates, and terms associated with the Company's interest rate swap contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges that are currently in place (as of the date of the issuance of these financial statements) are as follows:  

Notional Amounts		Notional Amounts		Notional Amounts		Weighted Average

Accounting Policy

The Company recognizes all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value (e.g., gains or losses) of those derivative instruments depends on (1) whether these instruments have been designated (and qualify) as part of a hedging relationship and (2) the type of hedging relationship actually designated. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company designates the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

The Company has designated all of its interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges of the Company’s forecasted vault cash rental obligations.  Accordingly, changes in the fair values of the related interest rate swap contracts have been reported in the Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net line item within stockholders’ equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will be able to realize the benefits associated with its domestic net deferred tax asset positions in the future.  Therefore, the Company records the unrealized losses related to its domestic interest rate swaps net of estimated tax benefits in the Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net line item within Stockholders' equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company does not currently have any derivative instruments that have been designated as fair value or net investment hedges.  The Company has not historically, and does not currently anticipate terminating its existing derivative instruments prior to their expiration dates.  If the Company concludes that it is no longer probable that the anticipated future vault cash rental obligations that have been hedged will occur, or if changes are made to the underlying terms and conditions of the Company's vault cash rental agreements, thus creating some amount of ineffectiveness associated with the Company's current interest rate swap contracts, any resulting gains or losses will be recognized within the Other expense (income) line item of the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company expected to reclassify $28.4million of net derivative-related losses contained within accumulated OCI into earnings during the next twelve months concurrent with the recording of the related vault cash rental expense amounts.

Accrued processing costs		704		1,510
Other accrued expenses		18,794		9,569
Total	$	124,496	$	80,112

The increase in Accrued merchant settlement amounts was primarily related to the increase in merchant-owned arrangements as a result of acquisitions completed during 2013. The increase in the accrued taxes line above relates to increased estimated liabilities for U.K. business rates (similar to property taxes), which increased significantly during the three months ended September 30, 2013, as the governmental agency responsible for assessing property values in the U.K. materially changed its approach for locating and assessing ATM sites and is now also seeking to recover assessments for past periods dating back to 2010 for some of the Company’s ATM locations in the U.K.. The Company has no statutory responsibility to self-assess property tax, but instead, must pay business rates invoices when they are invoiced. Prior to the third quarter of 2013, only a minority of its ATMs had been assessed business rates. While the Company believes that there are numerous potential longer-term mitigation strategies to partially offset this increased operating cost, the Company recorded a charge of $9.2 million as an estimate of its expected liability through September 2013 based on the information available as of that date.

(15) Income Taxes

Income tax expense based on the Company's income before income taxes was as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,

Effective tax rate		165.2	%		39.1	%		72.2	%		39.0	%

The Company's effective tax rate during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was higher than the combined total of the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% and the Company's estimated effective state tax rate of 2.5%, primarily due to: (1) restructuring the Company’s U.K. operations during the three month period ended September 30, 2013, which resulted in the recognition of a $13.6 million income tax charge associated with the Company’s U.K. restructuring in the third quarter, which primarily relates to deferred tax assets that are no longer realizable as a result of the restructuring; (2) operating losses in certain of the Company’s foreign operations for which it does not record a tax benefit, as a result of carrying a valuation allowance on those deferred tax assets; (3) certain current year losses on the Company’s U.S. tax return that cannot be recognized as a result of the U.K. restructuring; and (4) certain non-deductible acquisition costs. The Company continues to maintain valuation allowances for its local net deferred tax asset positions for certain of its entities in the U.K. and Mexico, as the Company currently believes that it is more likely than not that these tax assets will not be realized.  

On August 7, 2013, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, acquired all of the outstanding shares issued by Cardpoint, with operations in the U.K. and Germany. At the time of the acquisition, ten legal entities were active under Cardpoint (collectively, the “Cardpoint group”).  Various entities in the Cardpoint group have accumulated net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and allowable capital allowances that the Company expects to utilize in the future to offset expected future profits in the group.  As of the acquisition date, the Cardpoint group had net operating losses in the amount of approximately $64.6 million and allowable capital allowances of approximately $74.0 million. The Company determined that it is more likely than not that the Cardpoint group will be able to realize the benefits of its tax assets. 

Following the Cardpoint acquisition, the Company restructured a portion of its other existing U.K. operations (Bank Machine entities). Through a series of restructuring, as of September 30, 2013, the existing Bank Machine group is now owned by Cardpoint. Concurrent with the restructuring, the Company implemented a financing structure to fund future growth in its European operations.

The deferred taxes associated with the Company's unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments have been reflected within the accumulated other comprehensive loss balance in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Fair Value Measurements

(13) Fair Value Measurements

The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2013 using the fair value hierarchy prescribed by U.S. GAAP. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 refers to fair values determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 includes fair values estimated using significant non-observable inputs. An asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Additions to asset retirement obligation liability. The Company estimates the fair value of additions to its asset retirement obligation liability using expected future cash outflows discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Liabilities added to the asset retirement obligations line item in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets are measured at fair value at the time of the asset installations on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs, and are only reevaluated periodically based on current fair value.  Amounts added to the asset retirement obligation liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 totaled $20.7 million and $8.7 million, respectively.The substantial increase in 2013 relates primarily to estimated liabilities assumed in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of Cardpoint in August 2013.

Below are descriptions of the Company's valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The methods described below may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities. These financial instruments are not carried at fair value, but are carried at amounts that approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk.

Acquisition-related intangible assets.  The estimated fair values of acquisition-related intangible assets are valued based on a discounted cash flows analysis using significant non-observable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The Company tests intangible assets for impairment on a quarterly basis by measuring the related carrying amounts against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related contract or portfolio of contracts.

Interest rate swaps. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps was a liability of $75.4 million as of September 30, 2013. These financial instruments are carried at fair value, calculated as the present value of amounts estimated to be received or paid to a marketplace participant in a selling transaction. These derivatives are valued using pricing models based on significant other observable inputs (Level 2 inputs), while taking into account the creditworthiness of the party that is in the liability position with respect to each trade. See Note 12, Derivative Financial Instruments for additional disclosures on the valuation process of this liability. 

Acquisition-related contingent consideration. Liabilities from acquisition-related contingent consideration are estimated by the Company using a discounted cash flow model.  Acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities are classified as Level 3 liabilities, because the Company uses unobservable inputs to value them, based on its best estimate of operational results upon which the payment of these obligations are contingent. Gains and losses related to the contingent consideration associated with acquisitions are included in other (income) expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.  

Long-term debt. The carrying amount of the long-term debt balance related to borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility approximates fair value due to the fact that any borrowings are subject to short-term floating interest rates. As of September 30, 2013, the fair value of the Company's 2018 Notes (see Note 9, Long-Term Debt) totaled $216.5 million, based on the quoted market price (Level 1 input) for the 2018 Notes as of that date.

Legal Matters

Automated Transactions. On August 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “District Court”) entitled Automated Transactions LLC (“ATL”) v. IYG Holding Co., et al. 10 Civ. 0691 (D. Del.) (the "2010 Lawsuit"). The 2010 Lawsuit names the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Cardtronics USA, Inc. (“Cardtronics USA”), as one of the defendants. The 2010 Lawsuit alleges that Cardtronics USA and the other defendants infringed upon seven of the plaintiff's patents by providing retail transactions to consumers through their ATMs. The plaintiff, ATL, is seeking a permanent injunction, damages, treble damages and costs, including attorney's fees and expenses. The allegations raised by the plaintiff in this suit are similar to the allegations made by the same plaintiff in a suit filed in January 2006 (the "2006 Lawsuit") against 7-Eleven, Inc. (“7-Eleven”) concerning six of the same seven patents. In July 2007, when the Company acquired the 7-Eleven portfolio, the Company became subject to the 2006 Lawsuit. The ATM supplier in that case agreed to indemnify 7-Eleven against the plaintiff's claims. That indemnity was assigned by 7-Eleven to the Company, and the supplier acknowledged that assignment.

The 2010 Lawsuit was initially stayed by order of the District Court pending the outcome of the 2006 Lawsuit.  In the 2006 Lawsuit, following the Company’s submission for summary judgment the District Court found that the defendants did not infringe the claims asserted in any of the plaintiff's five patents (the allegations as to the sixth patent having been dismissed earlier). In addition, the District Court granted the defendants partial summary judgment, concluding that the plaintiff's patent claims were, in part, invalid and rendered other findings so as to materially weaken the plaintiff's case. In addition, on January 28, 2011, the United States Patent and Trademark Office Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences ("BPAI") issued a decision affirming the rejection on the grounds of obviousness of all the claims relating to one of the patents asserted by the plaintiff in both the 2006 Lawsuit and the 2010 Lawsuit. The plaintiff appealed both of these rulings to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”). On April 23, 2012, the Court of Appeals rendered a decision that affirmed both the District Court’s rulings and the BPAI decision (the “Appeals Decision”).  ATL’s request for rehearing of the Appeals Decision was denied.  As a consequence, the 2006 Lawsuit has been effectively resolved in the Company’s favor pending entry of a formal final judgment.  Furthermore, though the Appeals Decision in the 2006 Lawsuit does not formally terminate the 2010 Lawsuit, the findings set forth in the Appeals Decision should also resolve in favor of the Company all of the claims made involving the same patents as had been asserted in the 2006 Lawsuit. The Appeals Decision should also materially weaken the plaintiff’s claims in the two remaining patents in the 2010 Lawsuit, which has been consolidated with the 2006 Lawsuit and resumed.   

Notwithstanding the outcome of the 2006 Lawsuit, ATL initiated several new patent infringement lawsuits against other companies, based on “child” patents of the parent patent which are at issue in the 2006 Lawsuit and the 2010 Lawsuit.  The asserted claims of the parent patent have already been held invalid in the Appeals Decision. The claims of infringement of the child patents are substantially similar to the prior claims under the parent and other child patents, i.e. the ATMs allowed the cardholders to access the internet and to conduct retail transactions at the ATM that were asserted by the defendants to be non-routine banking transactions. Two of those new cases were brought in the District Court for the Southern District of New York and named as defendants, two customers of the Company under ATM placement agreements pursuant to which the Company operates ATMs alleged to infringe ATL’s child patents. Until resolved, these cases implicate the Company in defending its customers where these ATMs are placed and could involve ATL alleging new claims directly against the Company. The Company has joined as a defendant in both of those cases and asserted counterclaims against ATL for invalidity, non-infringement and requesting costs and attorneys’ fees for improperly bringing such a suit. On January 17, 2013, the Court in one case agreed with the Company’s request to transfer the case for all purposes to the U.S. District Court in Delaware because of that Court’s familiarity with the patents in suit.Subsequently, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the other case against the Company’s customer, along with many other ATL cases filed in other district courts, to the U.S. District Court in Delaware for consolidated pretrial proceedings, and the Company then joined that action as a defendant and counterclaimant, as noted above.

On April 1, 2013, a panel for the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, over ATL’s objection, transferred eight other suits involving ATL’s parent patent and 12 child patents and several different types of ATMs to the District Court to be consolidated or coordinated before the judge who had previously decided the 2006 Lawsuit against ATL. In addition, the other action still pending in New York federal court against the Company’s customer, noted above, was also transferred to that judge, along with other ATL cases deemed to be “tag along” actions to the cases already transferred. The District Court has issued a scheduling order pursuant to which discovery will be conducted and all pre-trial motions have been scheduled to be submitted by June 19, 2015.  Under that order, trial of these matters has not been set.

The Company believes that these ATL lawsuits have no merit, primarily because the asserted child patents have patent claims or limitations previously held invalid or not infringed by the Appeals Decision. Accordingly, the Company does not expect that the remaining lawsuits will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations, and the Company will continue to vigorously defend its position.

National Federation of the Blind. Through its acquisition of the E*Trade ATM portfolio, the Company became the sole defendant in the June 2003 lawsuit filed by the National Federation of the Blind, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, et. al. and certain individuals representing a class of similarly situated persons (the "Plaintiffs") against E*Trade Access, Inc., et al. in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (“Massachusetts District Court”): Civil Action No. 03-11206-NMG (the “Lawsuit”).  The Plaintiffs sought to require, among other things, that ATMs deployed by E*Trade be voice-guided. In December 2007, the Company and Plaintiffs entered into a settlement agreement (as modified in November 2010, the "Settlement Agreement").  In 2011, the Plaintiffs filed a motion of contempt with the Massachusetts District Court alleging that the Company had failed to fully comply with the requirements of the Settlement Agreement.  On December 15, 2011, the Massachusetts District Court issued an order that required the Company to bring all of its ATMs in compliance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement by March 15, 2012.  In August 2012, the Plaintiffs filed their second motion of contempt, which alleged, among other things, that the Company had failed to meet the Massachusetts District Court’s deadline and sought a fine of $50 per ATM for each month that the Massachusetts District Court determined the Company was not in compliance.  The Company filed its response on September 28, 2012.

In March 2013, the Court issued an order that stated that sanctions would be imposed, but did not specify what violations had occurred. In April 2013, the Court granted the parties’ request to appoint a special master to determine the extent of any non-compliance with the agreements, any effect on accessibility of the ATMs, and what sanctions might be appropriate.  On May 22, 2013, the Massachusetts District Court issued an order appointing a special master, directing him to issue a report and recommendation on those issues. The special master’s report and recommendation must be submitted by December 15, 2013.  The Company is uncertain of the ultimate outcome of this matter, but does not believe it will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial statements.

In addition to the above legal proceedings, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company has provided reserves where necessary for all claims and the Company's management does not expect the outcome in any of these legal proceedings, individually or collectively, to have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, the Company currently expenses all legal costs as they are incurred.

Other Commitments

Asset Retirement Obligations. The Company's asset retirement obligations consist primarily of deinstallation costs of the ATM and costs to restore the ATM site to its original condition. In most cases, the Company is legally required to perform this deinstallation and restoration work. The Company had $59.5 million accrued for these liabilities as of September 30, 2013. For additional information, see Note 10, Asset Retirement Obligations.
