CARDTRONICS, INC.

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 automated consumer financial services through its network of automated teller machines ("ATMs") and multi-function financial services kiosks. As of March 31, 2015, the Company provided services to approximately 111,500 devices across its portfolio, which included approximately 91,900 devices located in all 50 states of the United States ("U.S.") as well as in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, approximately 14,600 devices throughout the United Kingdom ("U.K."), approximately 1,000 devices throughout Germany and Poland, approximately 2,600 devices throughout Canada, and approximately 1,400 devices throughout Mexico. In the U.S., certain of the Company’s devices are 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 111,500 devices are approximately 34,300 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 BBVA Compass Bancshares, Inc., Citibank, N.A., Citizens Financial Group, Inc., Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc., Santander Bank, N.A., and PNC Bank, N.A. in the U.S. and The Bank of Nova Scotia (“Scotiabank”) in Canada and Puerto Rico. In Mexico, the Company partners with Bansí, S.A. Institución de Banca Multiple (“Bansi”), a regional bank in Mexico and a noncontrolling interest owner in Cardtronics Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“Cardtronics Mexico”), as well as with Grupo Financiero Banorte, S.A. de C.V. (“Banorte”) and Scotiabank to place their brands on the Company’s ATMs in exchange for certain services provided by them. As of March 31, 2015,  approximately 22,000 of the Company’s ATMs were under contract with 425 financial institutions to place their logos on the Company’s ATMs and to provide convenient surcharge-free access for their banking customers.

 

The Company also owns and operates the Allpoint network (“Allpoint”), the largest surcharge-free ATM network within the U.S. (based on the number of participating ATMs). The Allpoint network, which has approximately 55,000 participating ATMs globally, provides surcharge-free ATM access to customers of participating financial institutions that may 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. and a portion of the Company’s ATMs in the U.K., Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico. 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, 2014 (the "2014 Form 10-K"), which includes a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies and other disclosures.

 

The financial statements as of March 31, 2015 and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014 was derived from the audited balance sheet filed in the 2014 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. Certain balances have been reclassified in the December 31, 2014 audited financial statements to present information consistently between periods. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 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 the Company and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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”), thus 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.

On February 6, 2014, the Company acquired the majority of the assets of Automated Financial, LLC (“Automated Financial”), an Arizona-based provider of ATM services to approximately 2,100 ATMs consisting primarily of merchant-owned ATMs. The Company completed its purchase accounting for Automated Financial in February 2015 which did not result in any significant adjustments.

 

On October 6, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Welch ATM (“Welch”), an Illinois-based provider of ATM services to approximately 26,000 ATMs. The total purchase consideration was approximately $159.4 million, which included cash of $154.0 million and deferred purchase consideration of $5.4 million. As a result of the acquisition, the Company added over 3,600 Company-owned ATMs across 47 states, with the majority of the machines located in high-traffic convenience store locations. In addition, many of the Welch ATMs are under contract with financial institutions to carry their brand and logo on the ATM, which has further enhanced the Company's surcharge-free product offerings.

 

The total purchase consideration was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identifiable tangible and intangible assets, based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The preliminary fair values of the intangible assets acquired included customer relationships valued at $52.5 million, estimated utilizing a discounted cash flow approach, with the assistance of an independent appraisal firm. The preliminary fair values of the tangible assets acquired included property, plant, and equipment valued at $11.3 million, estimated utilizing the market and cost approaches. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of approximately $102.7 million, all of which has been assigned to the Company's North America reporting segment. The recognized goodwill is primarily attributable to expected synergies. All of the goodwill and intangible asset amounts are expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

 

On November 3, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Sunwin Services Group (“Sunwin”) in the U.K., a subsidiary of the Co-operative Group (“Co-op”) for aggregate cash consideration of approximately £41.5 million or approximately $66.4 million. Sunwin’s primary business is providing secure cash logistics and ATM maintenance services to ATMs and other services to retail locations. The Company also acquired approximately 1,950 ATMs from Co-op Bank and secured an exclusive ATM operating agreement to operate ATMs at Co-op Food locations. The Company has accounted for these transactions as if they were all related due to the timing of the transactions being completed and the dependency of the transactions on each other.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had not yet completed its purchase accounting for the acquisitions of Welch and Sunwin because the final appraisals of acquired intangible assets have not yet been completed. The Company expects to complete the purchase accounting during the second quarter of 2015 as it completes its final review of the valuations of the various components involved in the transactions.

(3) Stock-Based Compensation 

 

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation by recognizing the grant date fair value of stock-based awards, net of estimated forfeitures, as compensation expense over the underlying requisite service periods of the related awards. The grant date fair value is based upon the Company’s stock price on the date of grant. The following table reflects the total stock-based compensation expense amounts included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations:

The increase in stock-based compensation expense 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 Second Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan").

 

Restricted Stock Awards.  The number of the Company's outstanding Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”) as of March 31, 2015, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2015, are presented below:

As of March 31, 2015, the unrecognized compensation expense associated with all outstanding RSAs was approximately $1.1 million, which will be recognized on a straight-line basis over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately 1.6 years.

 

Restricted Stock Units. The Company grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under its Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), which is an annual equity award program under the 2007 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. 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-RSUs are 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 Performance-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 March 31, 2015, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2015, are presented below:

As of March 31, 2015, the unrecognized compensation expense associated with earned RSUs was approximately $15.0 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 2.2 years.

(4) Earnings 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 months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 included all outstanding stock options and shares of restricted stock, which were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for these periods.  The potentially dilutive effect of outstanding warrants and the underlying shares exercisable under the Company’s convertible notes were excluded from diluted shares outstanding because the exercise price exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common stock. The effect of the note hedge the Company purchased to offset the underlying conversion option embedded in its convertible notes was also excluded, as the effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Additionally, the shares of restricted stock issued by the Company under RSAs have a non-forfeitable right to cash dividends, if and when declared by the Company. Accordingly, restricted shares issued under RSAs are considered to be participating securities and, as such, the Company has allocated the undistributed earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 among the Company's outstanding shares of common stock and issued but unvested restricted shares, as follows:

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 amounts reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net, are recognized in Cost of ATM operating revenues line item on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

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.

Revolving Credit Facility 

 

On April 24, 2014, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”).  The Credit Agreement provides for a $375.0 million revolving credit facility and includes an accordion feature that will allow the Company to increase the available borrowings under the revolving credit facility to $500.0 million, subject to the approval of one or more existing lenders or one or more lenders that become party to the Credit Agreement.  In addition, the revolving credit facility includes a sub-limit of up to $30.0 million for letters of credit, a sub-limit of up to $25.0 million for swingline loans and a sub-limit of up to the equivalent amount of $125.0 million for loans in currencies other than U.S. Dollars.  The revolving credit facility has a termination date of April 2019.

 

Borrowings (not including swingline loans and alternative currency loans) under the revolving credit facility accrue interest at the Company’s option at either the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin depending on the Company’s most recent Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).  The margin for Alternative Base Rate loans varies between 0% to 1.25% and the margin for Adjusted LIBO Rate loans varies between 1.00% to 2.25%. Swingline loans bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus a margin as described above. The alternative currency loans bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the relevant currency as described above.  Substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets, including the stock of its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the stock of the Company’s first-tier foreign subsidiaries, are pledged as collateral to secure borrowings made under the revolving credit facility. Furthermore, each of the Company’s material wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries has guaranteed the full and punctual payment of the obligations under the revolving credit facility. Additionally, no more than 40% of the Company’s Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or the book value of the aggregate consolidated assets may be attributable to restricted subsidiaries that are not guarantors under the Credit Agreement.  There are currently no restrictions on the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends to the Company.

 

The Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for similar credit arrangements, including, among other things, covenants relating to (i) financial reporting and notification, (ii) payment of obligations, (iii) compliance with applicable laws, and (iv) notification of certain events. Financial covenants in the Credit Agreement require the Company to maintain: (i) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, a Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no more than 2.25 to 1.00; (ii) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, a Total Net Leverage Ratio of no more than 4.00 to 1.00; and (iii) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no more than 1.50 to 1.0. Additionally, the Company is limited on the amount of restricted payments, including dividends, which it can make pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement; however, the Company may generally make restricted payments so long as no event of default has occurred and is continuing and the total net leverage ratio is less than 3.0 to 1.0 at the time such restricted payment is made. 

   

As of March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants and ratios under the Credit Agreement.  

 

As of March 31, 2015, $133.5 million was outstanding under the 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 revolving credit facility.

 

As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility totaled approximately $239.4 million.

 

$250.0 Million 5.125% Senior Notes Due 2022

 

 On July 28, 2014, in a private placement offering, the Company issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) pursuant to an indenture dated July 28, 2014 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, its subsidiary

guarantors (the “Guarantors”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.  Interest on the 2022 Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, and commenced on February 1, 2015. 

 

The 2022 Notes and Guarantees (as defined in the Indenture) rank (i) equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, (ii) effectively junior to secured debt to the extent of the collateral securing such debt, including debt under the Company’s revolving credit facility and (iii) structurally junior to existing and future indebtedness of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries. The 2022 Notes and Guarantees rank senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future subordinated indebtedness.

 

The 2022 Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability and the ability of certain of its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; make certain investments or pay dividends or distributions on the Company’s capital stock or repurchase capital stock or make certain other restricted payments; consolidate or merge with or into other companies; conduct asset sales; restrict dividends or other payments by restricted subsidiaries; engage in transactions with affiliates or related persons; and create liens.

 

In accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, condensed consolidated financial statements of non-guarantors are not required. The Company has no assets or operations independent of its subsidiaries. Obligations under its 2022 Notes are fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s current 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries and certain of the Company’s future domestic subsidiaries, with the exception of the Company’s immaterial subsidiaries. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Company to obtain funds from the Guarantors by dividend or loan. None of the Guarantors’ assets represent restricted assets pursuant to Rule 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Company and the Guarantors have agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC to allow the holders of the 2022 Notes to exchange such notes for registered notes that have substantially identical terms to the 2022 Notes.

 

The 2022 Notes are subject to certain automatic customary releases, including the sale, disposition, or transfer of the capital stock or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor, designation of a Guarantor as unrestricted in accordance with the Indenture, exercise of the legal defeasance option or the covenant defeasance option, liquidation or dissolution of the Guarantor and a Guarantor ceasing to both guarantee other Company debt and to be an obligor under the revolving credit facility. The Guarantors may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their properties or assets to, or consolidate with or merge into, another company if such a sale would cause a default under the Indenture.

 

$287.5 Million 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2020 and Related Equity Instruments

 

On November 19, 2013, the Company issued $250.0 million of 1.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 (the "Convertible Notes") at par value. The Company also granted to the initial purchasers the option to purchase, during the 13 day period following the issuance of the Convertible Notes, up to an additional $37.5 million of Convertible Notes (the “Over-allotment Option”). The initial purchasers exercised the Over-allotment Option on November 21, 2013. The Company received $254.2 million in net proceeds from the offering after deducting underwriting fees paid to the initial purchasers and a repurchase of 665,994 shares of its outstanding common stock concurrent with the offering. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to fund the net cost of the convertible note hedge transaction, as described below. The convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were entered into with the initial purchasers on November 19, 2013, concurrent with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, and on November 21, 2013, concurrent with the exercise of the Over-allotment Option. The Company pays interest semi-annually (payable in arrears) on June 1st and December 1st of each year. Under U.S. GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion are required to be separately accounted for as liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. The Company, with assistance from a valuation professional, determined that the fair value of the debt component was $215.8 million and the fair value of the embedded option was $71.7 million as of the issuance date. The Company recognizes effective interest expense on the debt component and that interest expense effectively accretes the debt component to the total principal amount due at maturity of $287.5 million. The effective rate of interest to accrete the debt balance is approximately 5.26%, which corresponded to the Company’s estimated conventional debt instrument borrowing rate at the date of issuance.

 

The Convertible Notes have an initial conversion price of $52.35 per share, which equals an initial conversion rate of 19.1022 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, for a total of approximately 5.5 million shares of our common stock initially underlying the debt. The conversion rate, however, is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Conversion can occur: (1) any time on or after September 1, 2020; (2) after March 31, 2014, during any calendar quarter that follows a calendar quarter in which the price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 135% of the conversion price for at least 20 days during the 30 consecutive trading-day period ending on the last trading day of the quarter; (3) during the ten consecutive trading-day period following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price of the Convertible Notes is less than 98% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock multiplied by the applicable conversion rate on each such trading day; (4) upon specified distributions to the Company’s shareholders upon recapitalizations, reclassifications or changes in stock; and (5) upon a make-whole fundamental change. A fundamental change is defined as any one of the following: (1) any person or group that acquires 50% or more of the total voting power of all classes of common equity that is entitled to vote generally in the election of the Company’s directors; (2) the Company engages in any recapitalization, reclassification or changes of common stock as a result of which the common stock would be converted into or exchanged for, stock, other securities, or other assets or property; (3) the Company engages in any share exchange, consolidation or merger where the common stock is converted into cash, securities or other

property; (4) the Company engages in any sales, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets; or (5) the Company’s stock is not listed for trading on any U.S. national securities exchange.

 

As of March 31, 2015, none of the contingent conversion thresholds described above were met in order for the Convertible Notes to be convertible at the option of the note holders. As a result, the Convertible Notes have been classified as a noncurrent liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2015. In future financial reporting periods, the classification of the Convertible Notes may change depending on whether any of the above contingent criteria have been subsequently satisfied.

 

Upon conversion, holders of the Convertible Notes are entitled to receive cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and common stock, at the Company’s election. In the event of a change in control, as defined in the indenture under which the Convertible Notes have been issued, holders can require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their Convertible Notes for 100% of the notes' par value plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into separate convertible note hedge and warrant transactions with certain of the initial purchasers to reduce the potential dilutive impact upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes. The net effect of these transactions effectively raised the price at which dilution would occur from the $52.35 initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes to $73.29. Pursuant to the convertible note hedge, the Company purchased call options granting to the Company the right to acquire up to approximately 5.5 million shares of its common stock with an initial strike price of $52.35. The call options automatically become exercisable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, and will terminate on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding December 1, 2020. The Company also sold to the initial purchasers warrants to acquire up to approximately 5.5 million shares of its common stock with a strike price of $73.29. The warrants will expire incrementally on a series of expiration dates subsequent to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes through August 30, 2021. If the conversion price of the Convertible Notes remains between the strike prices of the call options and warrants, the Company’s shareholders will not experience any dilution in connection with the conversion of the Convertible Notes; however, to the extent that the price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants on any or all of the series of related expiration dates of the warrants, the Company would be required to issue additional shares of its common stock to the warrant holders. The amounts allocated to both the note hedge and warrants were recorded in Stockholders’ equity, within the Additional paid-in capital line item.

 

(9) 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 in some cases, site restoration work. For each group of related ATM assets, 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 ATM 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.
