(3) ACQUISITIONS
On March 15, 2022 we completed the acquisition of the Merchant Acquiring Business of Piraeus Bank ("PBMA"). The acquisition includes 205,000 POS terminals at 170,000 merchants throughout Greece, as well as Piraeus Bank’s online merchant acquiring business and expands our omnichannel payments strategy where we use our proprietary technology to provide cash, card-based acquiring solutions, alternative payment acquiring, online acquiring, tokenized payment services and other payment products. Additionally, the acquisition includes a long-term commercial framework agreement between Piraeus Bank and Euronet which includes collaborative product distribution, processing and customer referrals.
The purchase price was €313.8 million, or approximately $346.2 million, which includes $331 million cash paid at closing plus $15.2 million of estimated contingent consideration for a ten-year earnout contingent on performance targets outlined in the commercial framework agreement. The contingent consideration is related to a percentage of the net fee income received during the ten-year period of the commercial framework agreement and there is no contractual maximum amount of consideration under this agreement.
The initial accounting for this acquisition is not complete as of June 30, 2022. The purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their respective provisional fair values at the date of acquisition. Additional time is needed to refine and review the results of the valuation of assets and liabilities. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the results of operations have been included from the date of acquisition in the EFT Processing Segment.
The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.
Assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration transferred were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The fair value measurements of intangible assets were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 inputs include discount rates that would be used by a market participant in valuing these assets, projections of revenues and cash flows, and customer attrition rates, among others.
We acquired a customer relationship intangible asset with a preliminary fair value of $112.2 million that is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years and a contract related intangible asset of $10.3 million that is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years.
Goodwill, with a preliminary value of $212.2 million, arising from the acquisition was included in the EFT Processing Segment. The factors that make up goodwill include synergies from combining PBMA operations and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill and intangible assets associated with this acquisition are deductible for tax purposes.
The results of PBMA operations are included in our consolidated results of operation, as part of our EFT Processing business segment, beginning on March 16, 2022. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, PBMA had $27.5 million and $31.2 million in revenue. The PBMA business is impacted by higher transaction volumes during the tourism season in the second and third quarters.
(5) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has been computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the respective period, after adjusting for the potential dilution of options to purchase our common stock, assumed vesting of restricted stock and the assumed conversion of our convertible debt, if such conversion would be dilutive.
The table includes all stock options and restricted stock that are dilutive to our weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share excludes stock options or shares of restricted stock that are anti-dilutive to our weighted average common shares outstanding of approximately 2,971,768 and 2,972,786 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 1,239,000 and 2,429,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
We issued Convertible Senior Notes ("Convertible Notes") due March 2049 on March 18, 2019. Our Convertible Notes currently have a settlement feature requiring us upon conversion to settle the principal amount of the debt and any conversion value in excess of the principal value ("conversion premium"), for cash or shares of our common stock or a combination thereof, at our option. We have stated our intent to settle any conversion of these notes by paying cash for the principal value and issuing common stock for any conversion premium; however, after adopting ASU 2020-06, 2.8 million incremental shares assumed for conversion of convertible notes shall be included in the dilutive earnings per share calculation, if dilutive, regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. Therefore, our Convertible Notes were included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share if their inclusion was dilutive. The dilutive effect increases the more the market price exceeds the conversion price of $188.73 per share. See Note 9, Debt Obligations, to the consolidated financial statements for more information about the Convertible Notes.
Share repurchases
On February 26, 2020, we put a repurchase program in place to repurchase up to $250 million in value, but not more than 5.0 million shares of common stock through February 28, 2022. On December 8, 2021, we put a repurchase program in place to repurchase up to $300 million in value, but not more than 5.0 million shares of common stock through December 8, 2023. Under the repurchase programs we repurchased $104.6 million and $175.0 million of stock, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Repurchases under the current program may take place in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including derivative transactions, and may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists entirely of foreign currency translation adjustments. We recorded foreign currency translation losses of $88.3 million and $109.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and gain of $12.7 million and loss of $30.2 million for the same periods in 2021. There were no reclassifications of foreign currency translation into the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Of the total goodwill balance of $807.8 million as of June 30, 2022, $371.5 million relates to the Money Transfer Segment, $315.1 million relates to the EFT Processing Segment and the remaining $121.2 million relates to the epay Segment. Estimated amortization expense on acquired intangible assets with finite lives as of June 30, 2022, is expected to total $13.9 million for the remainder of 2022, $23.7 million for 2023, $17.6 million for 2024, $14.4 million for 2025, $14.0 million for 2026 and $12.8 million for 2027.
On May 25, 2022, the Company entered into an Uncommitted Credit Agreement for $300 million, fully drawn and outstanding at June 30, 2022, for the sole purpose of providing vault cash for ATMs, that expires no later than November 30, 2022. Each loan bears interest at the rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.00%. The weighted-average interest rate from the loan inception date to June 30, 2022 was 1.900%.
On June 24, 2022, the Company entered into an Uncommitted Loan Agreement for $150 million, fully drawn and outstanding at June 30, 2022, for the sole purpose of providing vault cash for ATMs, that expires no later than June 23, 2023. Each loan is a Prime rate loan, a Bloomberg Short-term Bank Yield ("BSBY") rate loan or bears interest at the rate agreed to by the Bank and the Company at the time such loan is made. The weighted-average interest rate from the loan inception date to June 30, 2022 was 2.317%.
(10) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk resulting from (i) the collection of funds or the settlement of money transfer transactions in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, (ii) derivative contracts written to its customers in connection with providing cross-currency money transfer services and (iii) certain foreign currency denominated other asset and liability positions. The Company enters into foreign currency derivative contracts, primarily foreign currency forwards and cross-currency swaps, to minimize its exposure related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As a matter of Company policy, the derivative instruments used in these activities are economic hedges and are not designated as hedges under ASC 815, primarily due to either the relatively short duration of the contract term or the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates are reflected concurrently in earnings for both the derivative instrument and the transaction and have an offsetting effect.
Foreign currency exchange contracts - Ria Operations and Corporate
In the United States, the Company uses short-duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities up to 14 days, to offset the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates on the collection of money transfer funds between initiation of a transaction and its settlement. Due to the short duration of these contracts and the Company’s credit profile, the Company is generally not required to post collateral with respect to these foreign currency forward contracts. Most derivative contracts executed with counterparties in the U.S. are governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreement that includes standard netting arrangements; therefore, asset and liability positions from forward contracts and all other foreign exchange transactions with the same counterparty are net settled upon maturity. The Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding in the U.S. with a notional value of $304.5 million and $222.1 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The foreign currency forward contracts consist primarily in Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds sterling, euro and Mexican pesos.
In addition, the Company uses forward contracts, typically with maturities from a few days to less than one year, to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain short-term borrowings that are payable in currencies other than the U.S dollar. The Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional value of $304.5 million and $216.1 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, primarily in euro.

1) Through the EFT Processing Segment, we process transactions for a network of ATMs and POS terminals across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and the United States. We provide comprehensive electronic payment solutions consisting of ATM cash withdrawal services, ATM network participation, outsourced ATM and POS management solutions, credit, debit and prepaid card outsourcing, dynamic currency conversion, domestic and international surcharges and other value added services. Through this segment, we also offer a suite of integrated electronic financial transaction software solutions for electronic payment and transaction delivery systems.
2) Through the epay Segment, we provide distribution, processing and collection services for electronic payment products, and prepaid mobile airtime in Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, the U.S., South America and North America.
3) Through the Money Transfer Segment, we provide global money transfer services under the brand names Ria, AFEX, IME, and xe. Ria, AFEX, and IME provide global consumer-to-consumer money transfer services through a network of sending agents, Company-owned stores and Company-owned websites, disbursing money transfers through a worldwide correspondent network. xe offers account-to-account international payment services to high-income individuals and small-to-medium sized businesses. xe is also a provider of foreign currency exchange information. We also offer customers bill payment services, payment alternatives such as money orders and prepaid debit cards, comprehensive check cashing services, foreign currency exchange services and mobile top-up. Furthermore, xe provides cash management solutions and foreign currency risk management services to small-to-medium sized businesses.
In addition, we account for non-operating activity, share-based compensation expense, certain intersegment eliminations and the costs of providing corporate and other administrative services in our administrative division, "Corporate Services, Eliminations and Other." These services are not directly identifiable with our reportable operating segments.
(14) COMMITMENTS
We enter into operating leases for ATM sites, office spaces, retail stores and equipment. Our finance leases are immaterial. Right of use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease terms.
The present value of lease payments is determined using the incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Most leases include an option to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease terms. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease terms. We also have a unilateral termination right for most of the ATM site leases. Since we are not reasonably certain not to exercise termination options, payments for ATM site leases with termination options subject to the short-term lease exemption are expensed in the period incurred and corresponding leases are excluded from the right of use lease asset and lease liability balances. Certain of our lease agreements include variable rental payments based on revenues generated from the use of the leased location and certain leases include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Variable lease payments are recognized when the event, activity or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed occurs and are excluded from the right of use assets and lease liabilities balances. The lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
(1) Operating lease payments reflect our current fixed obligations under the operating lease agreements.

We have 36 principal offices in Europe, 14 in Asia Pacific, 10 in North America, three in the Middle East, two in South America and one in Africa. Our executive offices are located in Leawood, Kansas, USA. With approximately 73% of our revenues denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, any significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates will likely have a significant impact on our results of operations (for a further discussion, see Item 1A - Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021).SOURCES OF REVENUES AND CASH FLOWEuronet earns revenues and income primarily from ATM management fees, transaction fees, commissions and foreign currency exchange margin. Each operating segment’s sources of revenues are described below.EFT Processing Segment — Revenues in the EFT Processing Segment, which represented approximately 30% and 25% of total consolidated revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, are derived from fees charged for transactions made by cardholders on our proprietary network of ATMs, fixed management fees and transaction fees we charge to customers for operating ATMs and processing debit and credit cards under outsourcing and cross-border acquiring agreements, foreign currency exchange margin on DCC transactions, domestic and international surcharge, foreign currency dispensing and other value added services such as advertising, prepaid telecommunication recharges, bill payment, and money transfers provided over ATMs. Revenues in this segment are also derived from cardless payment, banknote recycling, tax refund services, license fees, professional services and maintenance fees for proprietary application software and sales of related hardware.
As of June 30, 2022, we had $497.1 million of borrowings and $53.8 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. The remaining $449.1 million under the Credit Facility was available for borrowing.Convertible debt - On March 18, 2019, we completed the sale of $525.0 million in principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2049 (“Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 18, 2019 (the “Indenture”), by and between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Convertible Notes have an interest rate of 0.75% per annum payable semi-annually in March and September, and are convertible into shares of Euronet common stock at a conversion price of approximately $188.73 per share if certain conditions are met (relating to the closing prices of Euronet common stock exceeding certain thresholds for specified periods). Holders of the Convertible Notes have the option to require us to repurchase for cash all or part of their Convertible Notes on each of March 15, 2025, 2029, 2034, 2039 and 2044 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant repurchase date. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, we recorded $12.8 million in debt issuance costs, which are being amortized through March 1, 2025.
Other uses of capitalCapital expenditures and needs - Total capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $53.1 million. These capital expenditures were primarily for the purchase and installation of ATMs in key under-penetrated markets, the purchase of POS terminals for the epay and Money Transfer Segments, and office, data center and company store computer equipment and software. Total capital expenditures for 2022 are currently estimated to range from approximately $115 million to $120 million. At current and projected cash flow levels, we anticipate that cash generated from operations, together with cash on hand and amounts available under our Credit Facility and other existing and potential future financing will be sufficient to meet our debt, leasing, and capital expenditure obligations. If our capital resources are not sufficient to meet these obligations, we will seek to refinance our debt and/or issue additional equity under terms acceptable to us. However, we can offer no assurances that we will be able to obtain favorable terms for the refinancing of any of our debt or other obligations or for the issuance of additional equity.
Inflation and functional currencies
Historically, the countries in which we operate have experienced low and stable inflation. Therefore, the local currency in each of these markets is the functional currency. We have seen indications that the current inflationary period will put pressure on our results of operations and our financial position. We have seen some signs of inflation impacting discretionary spend items, such as gaming products, in our epay business as well as some pressure on send amounts in money transfer. As a consequence of this inflationary period, we expect to see increasing expenses forthcoming. We continually review inflation and the functional currency in each of the countries where we operate.OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTSOn occasion, we grant guarantees of the obligations of our subsidiaries and we sometimes enter into agreements with unaffiliated third parties that contain indemnification provisions, the terms of which may vary depending on the negotiated terms of each respective agreement. Our liability under such indemnification provisions may be subject to time and materiality limitations, monetary caps and other conditions and defenses. As of June 30, 2022, there were no material changes from the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. To date, we are not aware of any significant claims made by the indemnified parties or parties to whom we have provided guarantees on behalf of our subsidiaries and, accordingly, no liabilities have been recorded as of June 30, 2022. See also Note 14, Commitments, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONSAs of June 30, 2022, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in our future contractual obligations from the amounts reported within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Economic conditions around the world, and in certain markets in which the Company does business, could impact sales price and volume. As a result, market uncertainty or an economic downturn driven by inflationary pressures; political tensions; war, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the related sanctions and export restrictions; terrorism; epidemics; pandemics; or political instability in the geographic regions or industries in which the Company provides services and products could reduce demand and result in decreased sales volume, which could have a negative impact on the Company’s results of operations.
In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine resulting in the United States, Canada, the European Union and other countries imposing economic sanctions on Russia. Euronet suspended its operations and product offerings in Russia. This action has not had a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. However, the fluidity and continuation of the conflict may result in additional economic sanctions and other impacts which could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. These include decreased sales; potential disruptions in neighboring countries where Euronet has operations; volatility in foreign exchange rates and interest rates; inflationary pressures; and heightened cybersecurity threats.
The following table provides information with respect to shares of the Company's common stock that were purchased by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
