Greetings, welcome to the Euronet Worldwide fourth quarter and full year 2022 earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speaker's presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. To ask a question during the session, you will need to press star one one on your telephone. You will hear an automated message advising your hand is raised. To withdraw your question, please press star one one again. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Mr. Scott Claassen, General Counsel for Euronet Worldwide. Thank you, Mr. Claassen. You may begin. Thank you. Good morning, everyone, welcome to Euronet's fourth quarter and full year 2022 earnings conference call. On this call, we have Mike Brown, our Chairman and CEO, and Rick Weller, our CFO. Before we begin, I need to call your attention to the forward-looking statements disclaimer on the second slide of the PowerPoint presentation we will be making today. Statements made on this call that concern Euronet or its management's intentions, expectations, or predictions of future performance are forward-looking statements. Euronet's actual results may vary materially from these anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors that are listed on the second slide of our presentation. Except as may be required by law, Euronet does not intend to update these forward-looking statements and undertakes no duty to any person to provide any update. In addition, the PowerPoint presentation includes a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures we'll be using during the call to their most comparable GAAP measures. Now, I'll turn the call over to our CFO, Rick Weller. Rick? Thank you, Scott. Good morning and welcome to everyone joining us today. I will begin my comments on slide 5. For the fourth quarter, we delivered revenue of $865 million, operating income of $79 million, adjusted EBITDA of $127 million, and adjusted EPS of $1.39. These results produced strong double-digit constant currency growth rates driven by strong growth from all three segments, with particular reflection on the continued improvement in domestic and international cash withdrawal transactions in the EFT segment, where the improved demand for travel continues following the lifting of COVID restrictions across the globe. Next slide, please. Slide 6 presents a summary of our year-end balance sheet compared to the prior quarter end. As you can see, we ended the year with $1.1 billion in unrestricted cash and $1.6 billion in debt. This increase is largely from cash generated from operations, partially offset by working capital changes. The decrease in debt was largely from the reduction in ATM cash, which was returned from the ATMs following the peak travel season. Next slide, please. Now I'm on slide 7. Here we present our results on an as-reported basis for the fourth quarter. Similar to the last several quarters, many of the currencies in our most significant markets declined in the 10%-20% range versus the U.S. dollar compared to the prior year. I will note that towards the end of the fourth quarter, we began to see currencies strengthen against the US dollar, which has continued into the first quarter. The improving FX rates in the fourth quarter provided a benefit versus our guidance, which was largely offset by some higher than expected operating taxes. That's operating taxes, which goes up in the operating expenses, not in the income tax expenses. To normalize the impact of these currency fluctuations, we have presented our results on a constant currency basis on the next slide 8. The strong improvements in EFT revenue, operating income, and adjusted EBITDA were the result of increased domestic and international withdrawal transaction trends from the lifting of COVID travel restrictions across the globe, together with the addition of and the good performance from the acquisition of Piraeus Bank's merchant acquiring business in March of 2022. On a year-over-year basis, revenue and gross profit per transaction were consistent. epay revenue grew 9%, operating income grew 12%, and adjusted EBITDA grew 11%, driven by the continued expansion of mobile and digital branded payments together with the continued growth of the digital distribution channel. Also included in the fourth quarter results was growth in loyalty reward programs delivered by epay on behalf of new large retailers. epay's revenue and gross profit per transaction were consistent on a year-over-year basis. Money transfer revenue, adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA grew 9%, 6% and 5% respectively. The growth was a result of 13% growth in U.S. outbound transactions, 13% growth in international originated money transfers, of which transfers largely initiated in Europe grew 13% and transfers initiated in the Middle East and Asia grew 14%. In addition to these strong growth rates, Xe transactions grew 25%, partially offset by a 17% decline in our intra-U.S. business. You look at direct-to-consumer digital transactions on their own, they grew 38%. As we have in the prior quarters, we continue to monitor the impact of inflation across the business. We have generally seen increases across all segments in salary expense, both our own and our suppliers. On the revenue side, we have not seen any direct impacts of inflation on our EFT and epay businesses. In money transfer, similar to what we saw earlier this year, the average amount sent per transaction declined by about 3% or 4%, resulting in nearly a 1% offset in our revenue per transaction growth rates. Overall, on one hand, we saw constant currency revenue per transaction come in by about 1%, largely attributable to the decrease in average send amount I just mentioned. However, on the other hand, constant currency gross profit per transaction improved in money transfer by approximately 2%, largely due to favorable mix and improvements in overall correspondent payout costs. The drivers behind our full year results for each of the segments were largely the same as the fourth quarter. I won't go through the full year details, results in detail, but we have presented them on the next few slides. As I reflect on 2022, I am pleased with the resilience of all three of our segments. In EFT, we saw our transactions improve in line with the improvement in travel trends, if not a little better. Our new merchant acquiring business continued to perform quite well. Many of you may recall that epay started the year slow, but the business gained momentum in the second half of the year, as we expected, and ended the year with double-digit constant currency operating income growth for both the fourth quarter and the full year 2022. In money transfer, we continued to expand both our physical and digital networks. We are also continuing to build momentum in our digital initiatives as we sign more Ren agreements and we see large banks and brands realize the value proposition of our Dandelion network. I know that many of you are going to ask what we expect for the full year 2023. It is not our practice to give full year guidance, I do think it is helpful if we provide some direction for the full year. As many of you know, on January 1 of this year, Croatia transitioned its currency from the kuna to the euro. Certainly, the currency migration will have some impact on our EFT results. However, we believe that there are a number of new rate-related opportunities in the EFT segment that will nearly offset the impact. We fully believe that we can carry the momentum we have built in 2022 forward into the new year. To that end, we expect the 1st quarter adjusted EPS to be approximately $0.85 per share, which represents a 23% growth over last year, assuming consistent FX rates, interest rates, and other unforeseen matters. We also continue to expect the full year adjusted EPS to grow in the mid to upper mid teens range over our full year 2022 adjusted EPS. I think it bears repeating that we have a strong balance sheet while making the right strategic investments in our business, which we believe will allow us to continue to grow at double-digit rates. It was another great year at Euronet. With that, I'll turn it over to Mike. Thank you, Rick, and thank you everybody for joining us today. I'll begin my comments on slide 15. Well, I guess as I look back, all I can say is, phew, what a year. We delivered very strong consolidated constant currency double-digit growth rates in the midst of ongoing economic and global uncertainties. We have continued to prove that our business is resilient. As Rick mentioned during the pandemic, we were not afraid to invest in places we believe that would continue our long-term growth trajectory. In EFT, our most profitable transactions continued to improve. In epay, there continues to be a growing demand for mobile and branded digital payment content, and consumers and businesses still need to send money across borders. The fourth quarter unfolded largely in line with what we expected when we spoke in October. Despite not seeing a full travel recovery, we are encouraged by the continued signs that, at least as it relates to travel, the end of the pandemic seems to be upon us in the U.S., and travel conditions are improving the farther east you go. The EUROCONTROL outlook remains consistent that passenger traffic in 2023 is expected to reach 92% or 93% of 2019 levels. While we'd like to see this data at least in line with that 100% of 2019, this would still be roughly a 25% improvement from 2022. We are also seeing positive signs from travel booking sites, which indicate a very strong demand for travel this coming summer and year due to the backlog of people wanting to take trips that were canceled during the pandemic or delayed due to the capacity restraints, which really vexed us and global travel last year. On their recent earnings call, the Delta Air Lines CEO was bullish on the travel industry recovery and expects double-digit top-line growth in the coming year. This optimism in travel, together with some pricing opportunities on entry into new markets, continued growth in our POS acquiring business and sales of our Ren platform add support for our expectation that we will deliver strong growth rates in 2023. With this macro overview, let's get down to each specific segment, beginning with EFT, starting on slide number 16. Slide 16. We have successfully grown our ATM deposit network in Poland this quarter, signing agreements with 23 new merchants who will have access to our broad deposit network. For some perspective on the success of this network, we received more than $6 billion worth of Polish zloty in ATM deposits in 2022. Now we are continuing to expand that growth in Romania with an ATM network participation agreement with UniCredit Bank. These deposit ATMs allow customers and retailers to deposit money with nearly instant credit to their account, allowing them to avoid carrying large sums of money to the bank or having to wait until banking hours. As I reflect on the $6 billion in ATM deposits that we processed, it seems like a good time to address one of the most common questions I receive. Of course that is cash dying? I am certainly not going to deny that digital transactions are popular and convenient. What we have seen, and what these $6 billion in ATM deposits once again show us, is there continues to be a large volume of cash used in circulation. Further, what we have seen is that in times of economic and other uncertainties, people tend to fall back to cash. I tell you that, no, we do not believe that cash is going away. Our core business has proven to be very profitable, so we have continued to use these profits generated from our cash-based withdrawal and deposit transactions to invest in the next-generation technology and digital transactions, which we believe will continue to diversify our global business. The value of our cash business creates significant value to our shareholders. Getting back to the highlights in Spain, we signed a network participation agreement with Banco Caminos. This is the 15th agreement that we have signed to allow banks to provide their customers with convenient access to our market-leading ATM network in Spain. Also in Spain, we leveraged the content relationships in our epay segment to cross-sell Spotify, Xbox, Nintendo, and paysafecard sales on Euronet ATMs. The combination of these two business segments is a great example of our goal to allow customers to participate in the global economy in a way that is most convenient for them. We signed two exciting agreements in the Philippines during the quarter. We signed our cardless cash withdrawal and deposit agreement with PayMaya, the second-largest digital wallet in the country. This wallet has platforms and services that cut across consumers, merchants, communities, and government, and provides more than 41 million Filipinos with access to financial services through its consumer platform. We also signed an agreement, a network participation agreement with the Bank of the Philippine Islands, BPI. To allow BPI cardholders to perform cash withdrawals and balance inquiries free of charge on the Euronet ATM network there in the Philippines, which now has approximately 900 ATMs in the country. Next slide, please. Slide number 17 provides you with an update on our ATM portfolio. During the quarter, we reduced our owned ATMs by approximately 450 machines. This is the result of a couple of measures. First, we removed about 350 ATMs in Croatia that were in places that would likely not be profitable given the country's conversion to the euro. A more robust post-COVID travel season last year gave us another data point to analyze our ATM estate with higher transaction volumes. We redoubled our ATM profitability management efforts. As a result of this process, we removed about 250 ATMs, which we will relocate and which we expect will ultimately provide us with a stronger and even more profitable ATM network as we move into this year and next. The culling of the network was offset by the addition of about 158 new ATMs in new and existing markets. We also reduced our outsourced ATMs by 200 due to the expiration of an outsourcing agreement in Poland. We deactivated about 3,900 ATMs for the winter season, consistent with our historical practices. As we think about our ATM deployment plan for 2023, we expect to deploy between 3,500 and 4,000 machines in new and existing markets. Moreover, as we see the return of travel and provided travel recovery is more robust, our optimism for ATM deployment may very well increase. To sum up the year in EFT concisely, I'd say it was a great year. We were able to answer the most lingering question from the pandemic: Will consumers still want cash when they travel? We now know that that answer is certainly a resounding yes, as our transaction growth paralleled the travel recovery reported by EUROCONTROL. With Asia-Pacific now accelerating its opening, certain pricing opportunities across our markets and on entry into new markets and our digital initiatives, we anticipate that EFT will continue to produce strong growth rates in 2023. Let's go on to slide number 18. We'll talk about epay for a minute. I am particularly pleased that epay closed the year with revenue growth slightly above the expectations that we provided over the last several quarters, with more than 40% constant currency growth above 2019 levels. This is a strong testament to the demand for our mobile and digital branded payments content, together with the expansion of our digital distribution channels. This quarter, we continued to expand our content by launching McAfee renewals in Currys stores in the U.K. and Ireland. In Spain, we launched digital subscriptions for Disney+. We also expanded sales of Uber cards in Germany and Spain. We continued to expand our relationship with Microsoft to provide Microsoft 365 renewals in Germany, Brazil, UAE, and the U.S. We really like these renewals and the agreements that we've signed as they leverage our industry-leading tech stack and give us a recurring revenue stream. Finally, we launched a digital branded payments agreement in Lidl stores in the U.K. Our epay team continues to find innovative ways to give customers payment options in the way that they want them, whether that's in a physical store, online, at an ATM or through a digital wallet. We believe that our content and technology solutions are industry-leading and will continue to give us new opportunities for expansion around the world. Let's move on to slide number 19, and we'll talk about Money Transfer. Our network now reaches 522,000 physical locations, 3.6 billion bank accounts and 428 million wallet accounts across 188 countries and territories. During the quarter, we launched 16 new correspondent agreements across 14 countries. One of the more significant of these launches was with a Hong Kong-based OTT Pay, which processes both small value cross-border business-to-consumer payments on behalf of companies that need to pay gig workers, influencers, and other independent contractors. We also signed 19 new correspondent agreements across 19 countries. We added 4 new mobile wallets across Cameroon, Mali, Sierra Leone, and Colombia, and we added corporate payments in both Egypt and Morocco. During the quarter, we acquired Sikhona, a global partner in South Africa, significantly strengthening our presence in the send and receive market with a license, a strong cash acceptance and promoter network, as well as a successful money transfer app. We are already seeing a large number of new inbound and outbound opportunities in that country which will consolidate our presence in South Africa and the broader region. Finally, we continue to expand our digital assets, launching, I mean, our app, moneytransfer.com app in Singapore. This gives us another send market in our digital channel where we are seeing direct-to-consumer digital transactions growing 38% year-over-year. We'll talk about slide 20 and our Dandelion successes. Well, we're extremely pleased to announce that we have signed an agreement with HSBC, the world's eighth-largest bank, to utilize our Dandelion platform. As a major bank with strength in Asia Pacific and the rest of the world, the HSBC Group has a key role to play in today's global economy. We are very proud and very excited about this new relationship, now we are laser-focused on going live with our first market this month. The agreement with HSBC is a good example of the favorable market response to Dandelion's differentiated value proposition, which includes real-time payments, alternative payment channels, and complete payment solutions, all available through a single API integration. Dandelion's sales pipeline grew significantly in Q4, with strong interest from banks, payment companies, MSBs, and FinTechs across the globe. We will continue to work hard on this pipeline hope to deliver more exciting announcements in the coming quarters. Let's move on to slide number 21, we'll talk about Ren. On slide number 21, you can see that we continue to expand our Ren pipeline of agreements. During the quarter, we launched Visa prepaid card issuance and switching with TNG Digital, the largest e-wallet issuer in Malaysia with approximately 22 million customers. Using our REN technology, Euronet will convert funds in the TNG e-wallet to a Visa-branded open loop program. We successfully ran the pilot program in December and did an official mass launch in January. A few slides back, we told you about our ATM network participation agreement with BPI. In addition to this agreement, BPI has recognized the value of our REN offering, and we launched person-to-merchant payments through InstaPay. InstaPay is a real-time payment service to allow customers and businesses to transfer funds instantly between accounts from a number of different banks in the Philippines. During this quarter, we expanded this functionality to allow person-to-merchant payments, providing a comprehensive real-time payments experience to BPI's customers. You may remember last year we told you about an exciting partnership we had with Grab in Singapore, where Euronet's Ren platform was selected as Grab's strategic partner to provide end-to-end open loop issuer processing and switching services. We have now expanded that same relationship with Grab to Malaysia. We also signed an agreement with Grupo Confianza in Honduras to become the SaaS card issuing solution and Mastercard BIN sponsor for their credit union clients. This agreement is strategic in that it gives us entry into Honduras with our Ren cloud-native platform and creates a bridge to attend to smaller clients who are better served with an aggregator. As you can see, the investments we have made in our digital technology solutions are continuing to pay off with a strong pipeline of new Ren agreements. We expect this Ren pipeline to contribute approximately $140 million in revenue over the next six years. Let's go to slide number 22, and we'll wrap up the quarter. As I stand back and reflect on 2022, it largely marks getting back to where we were. Okay, I apologize for the little bit of a technology break there, but I will continue now. As I stand back and reflect, 2022 largely marks getting back to where we were pre-COVID. Had it not been for changes in currency, our full year adjusted EPS would have been roughly at 2019 levels. I think it is worth repeating a comment that we made at the end of the third quarter. History can often be a good predictor for the future. Through Euronet's history, we have been through every economic cycle, one-off events like cash demonetization in India, and now what appears to be the two biggest global economic setbacks in the last 80 years: the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID pandemic. We have always come out stronger on the other side. This has been made possible by our hardworking employees, of course, but also our balanced product and geographic portfolio, the disciplined management of our balance sheet and investments for future growth, together with the fact that our product portfolio consists of products that people want, use, and need. With improving travel trends, more content, bigger networks, and more geographies, we believe our business is poised to continue to deliver double-digit growth rates in 2023 and beyond. With that, we'll be happy to take your questions. Operator, will you please assist? As a reminder, to ask a question, please press star one one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. To withdraw your question, please press star one one again. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from the line of Rayna Kumar from UBS. Good morning, Mike and Rick. Thanks for taking my question. It's good to see that you're reiterating your mid to upper teens EPS growth guide for 2023. I just wanna make sure that's off of the new $6.51 EPS base for 2022. Also, if you can walk us through your expectations by segment for the year and for 1Q, that would be really helpful. Well, we, first of all, yes, it's off the full number for last year. When we say kind of mid-teen, so we're thinking in that kind of range of maybe 14%, 15%, 16%, maybe if we're a little bit lucky, 17% kind of growth rate over last year's total number, yes. With respect to each of the segments, we don't really break it down by segments. But as I've mentioned and Rick did in our comments, you know, we're pretty excited about all three segments. Of course, the one segment that's gonna have the easiest growth, you might say, will be the EFT segment because we do believe that we're gonna get a lot more travelers to our ATMs this coming summer. You know, Rayna, what I would add and consistent with what Mike said, we typically don't, you know, give all that kind of level detail at each of the segments. I know in the past we have, you know, talked at different times about what we kinda expect in longer term growth rates for our segments. What we've, what we've consistently said, and we continue to believe, is that our epay business will have a revenue growth trajectory that would be in the upper single digits and the low, or the lower double digits on revenue, that operating income would be more on the lower double digit side. In our money transfer business, we believe that we move our revenue will be in the kinda lower double digit range, but a little bit more aggressive than what we might be on the epay side. That would be kind of you know, you know, it's possible that we could be into the low teens on that side for the revenue piece. You know, kind of think of that as a 12%-13% a number. We would expect to see that our operating margins grow a little faster than that. On the EFT segment, as you can appreciate with the return of travel, as we see the number Mike said earlier, if, you know, we just kind of take at the EUROCONTROL number, that, you know, that would be, you know, nearly a 25% number. We saw as we kind of finished up the year and what we, you know, were expecting is that the EFT would see a travel recovery in about the, you know, kind of 70%-ish kind of% range. At the end of the year, we would end up a little stronger than that as that recovery continued. That's exactly what we did see. You know, if you kind of think of that as being, you know, kind of in a ballpark of 75%. If you then, you know, again, use 92, 93, as Mike Brown says, well, that's nearly a 25%. I think it mathematically calculates out to about 22 or 23. If, but that's the way I think you probably ought to directionally think about the revenue growth out of the EFT segment. And then obviously that's gonna contribute, you know, well stronger expansion on the operating income side. So that's I think very consistent with what we've talked about in the past. We, as Mike said, we continue to see very strong momentum going in the pipelines of our Ren product, our Dandelion products. We couldn't feel better than to be able to announce an absolute marquee name like HSBC, recognizing the value of our product. I think as we continue to build that business, we'll see those pipelines grow. That kind of gives you some perspective, confirmation of what we expect the continued growth rates to be in our business. I would like to also caution, too. Let's not forget, first quarter for the last 10 years has been our seasonally weakest quarter. I t's a perfect storm of all three segments tend to be weaker in the first quarter. Just kinda bear that in mind. Also, when we talk about other things we're excited about, our acquiring business that we purchased from Piraeus Bank did quite well last year. We're excited about that one going forward. Okay. That's a really helpful detail. Just on the point on travel, what are you seeing in terms of increased capacity at Heathrow Airport versus your expectations? Okay. We don't know exactly what it's gonna do. All we know is that the travel caps were removed during the Christmas rush. I would tell you also, let's not forget the Christmas rush isn't nearly the summer rush. We're cautiously optimistic that they're getting their act together there. We'll have to see what happens. They know. I think everybody recognizes what a mess up it was last year, they're gonna do their best to get it fixed. Right. I think that's even reflected. You may have read some news about them having a change in their leadership there. You know, so they really want their travel industry to work well. As Mike said, we didn't see any real hiccups going through the fourth quarter, albeit it's obviously much lighter than the third quarter. You know, but those are favorable signs as we look towards next year. Got it. Okay, operator, we're gonna move to the next caller. I'm sorry, Rayna, I gotta give everybody else a shot. Thank you. One moment for our next question. Our next question comes from the line of Andrew Schmidt from Citi. Good morning. Hey, Mike. Hey, Rick. Morning. Thanks for taking my questions. You know, to dig in on the just the reiterated mid to upper teens EPS outlook, just kind of a little bit of a technical question. Are you flowing through the benefit of the FX rates, the favorability there? You know, if you are, just wondering if there are offsets that you're considering? 'Cause it seems like if you flow those through, you know, you could be a little bit higher or at the very minimum at the upper end of that range. Any thoughts there would be helpful. Thanks. Well, yeah, we did essentially we've assumed that the FX rates are the same as what they are today and that they'll remain unchanged for the rest of the year. I t just kinda depends on exactly where you wanna pinpoint your math on that. As Mike said if you were more towards the upper teens, it would be a little bit stronger. It, but yeah, it has been appropriately reflected in that number. We've also, a little bit to the offset of that as we're planning on a couple more fed rate increases and more rate increases in Europe as well. Got it. Okay, that makes a lot of sense. I appreciate that. Just quickly on money transfer, if you can just elaborate just a little bit on what you're seeing. It doesn't seem like, Rick, based on your commentary, that the growth rate is materially altered. Are you seeing something different as we kind of enter 2023 and maybe the fourth quarter was a little bit of a point in time? Or are you seeing these inflation, this inflation kind of impact persist with the remittance customers? Any color there in terms of what you're seeing in money transfer would be helpful. Thanks. We have essentially incorporated, and we did this, you know, going back when we first started seeing what we thought were some inflationary impacts, about a 1% impact on our growth rate because of inflation. You know, we'll see how that holds out. I f you take a look at just the fundamental strength that we're seeing across the U.S. outbound, Europe, Middle East, it came back a little bit stronger. Again, you know, we're seeing some of the impacts of COVID starting to lift more consistently around the world. Our digital product has continued to improve. we, you know, we don't expect that we'll see a gusher of additional revenue from Dandelion this year. We're continuing to build and grow that pipeline. It'll be much more contributing next year. I think, you know, all that just continues to build our confidence that we're gonna be like I say, in that kinda, 12 team to 13 kind of rate. As Mike said, we would expect to see that first quarter is a little bit slower as it always has been. You know, first quarter is the lightest quarter of all three segments. We expect to see that momentum develop a little bit, you know, a little bit later as we go or more of that momentum. You know, I don't think that our view or our thinking on money transfer has really changed any. I think that we've appropriately considered some impact of inflation, but we continue to see very good successes on customer addition, on network addition, as we go around the world. Got it. Thank you very much, guys. Appreciate the commentary. Thank you. One moment for our next question. Our next question comes from the line of Darrin Peller from Wolfe Research. Hey, guys. thanks for taking my question. It's obviously good to see the progress on EFT. I guess, Mike, when we think about the business in EFT and what the behaviors that we're seeing are today, would you expect that if we got back to that 92%, 93% of 2019 levels by the end of 2023, that your profitability levels of EFT should be the same or more than they were assuming it was 92% in 2019? In other words, like for like, has anything changed to push that profitability up in that segment beyond just what travel activity is? I imagine that there's been some factors, but... Mike, if you can add on to that, the comments you made over rate potential and pricing potential, it was good to hear. I'm curious if you can give us a little bit more specifics on that. I think the reality is if we only get 92% or 93% of the tourists that we did in 19, we're not gonna arrive at 2019's total revenue. However, we do have some percentages, and a lot of it comes down to mix. As we spin up some of these new markets in North Africa, in Asia, as we do those things- Yeah. Our experience is that those ACMs are quite a bit more profitable on a per unit basis than our European ones, even though our European ones are quite good. If we can get a little bit of travel recovery in Asia, that would be great. If we are able, we have some supply chain issues of getting ATMs to expand into North Africa as that abates, that will help us quite a bit as well. Let's not forget, everyone, we were planning on a lot of ATM rollouts last year, in and around the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, all the ones that now surround Ukraine. In fact, we were planning on almost 500 growth in Ukraine last year, and then of course, the war happened. Those markets are all cross-currency markets. They all have their own island currency. Yeah. That's, they're great contributors. You know, we obviously aren't gonna do as much expansion there because last year they only recovered in the neighborhood of 50%-55%, where the rest of the market in general was in that kind of 70%. I think we've got some opportunities. We'll have to see what happens. I think if we get to 92%, we'll be pretty darn happy, and it also gives us a little bit of gas in the tank for the next year to grow. That does make sense. When we think about China reopening, just maybe remind us, in your view, what kind of contribution China, you know, base travelers did to your business back before the pandemic. Whether it's in any of the reasons, frankly, I'm just curious if you have any insight on that. The biggest reason place where we have Chinese tourists would be in Asian markets like the Philippines, Malaysia, that's opened up, et cetera. As that comes back, that's really good. They were 5% of our European travel. Okay. I think it will be helpful as well. A number of these countries are also putting limitations on Chinese tourists. They're putting a little bit more friction in there requiring COVID shots. Yeah. before they come, et cetera. Right. It'll take some time. All right, guys. The other thing. Yeah, go ahead. That's important to remember about the China travelers is, generally speaking, the China UnionPay card does not allow for DCC. Now in markets where we have a surcharge opportunity, we can obviously get some benefit there. If China has not been that big of a contributor because we don't get the spread on the DCC. Okay. We are working on opportunities to potentially enter into agreements with them to enable that. As of now, it's not there. Clearly, China travel would give us some benefit, but we've never had a lot of benefit in our P&L from Chinese travelers. Understood. Thanks, Rick. Thank you. One moment for our next question. Our next question comes from the line of Cristopher Kennedy from William Blair. Good morning. Thanks for taking the question. Can you talk about kind of the timing of Ren revenue hitting your income statement and how that's tracking relative to your initial expectations? It's tracking pretty much right on what I said in prior quarters. In the very first year that we were really selling Ren, which was two years ago, we did about $8 million in revenue at about, call it an 80% margin. Last year, we did almost twice that. This year we're looking at, you know, $25 million-$30 million, if we can get everything installed. It's kinda doubling up every year. We're really excited about Ren, and it's only growing. Understand, when we talk about $140 million kind of in the pipeline, these are contracted minimum revenues in the contracts that we're installing. That's what's exciting about it. That doesn't include anything we're gonna that we would sign this year. Our experience has been once we put somebody on our platform, the transactions in almost every case exceeded their expectations. I think darn near every case as the transactions they're transactions-based licenses. As the transactions exceed the expectations of the people we contract with, we end up making a little bit more. There's a lot of optimism around Ren right now. Great to hear. Thanks for taking the question. Mm-hmm. Thank you. One moment for our next question. Our next question comes from the line of Peter Heckmann from D.A. Davidson. Hey, good morning. Good morning, Pete. Most of my questions have been answered. I just wanted to follow up, though, on the digital money transfer. Can you talk about how, that's been growing at a very nice clip for several years here. Can you talk about how that has changed the mix of money transfer and what the implications are for both revenue growth and margins if we continue to see the digital growing at, 3x, 4x the rest of the business? Well, obviously it's good. It changes the mix. You know, if we're growing kind of low teens in net, but that's growing 39% or whatever. It is changing the mix over time. It continues to gain more and more momentum. We open up in more and more countries. I mean, we have a real focus on digital, and it's profitable for us. I'd like to also throw that out there because about 90% of everybody doing digital money transfers are losing money on them. Because we can leverage the rest of our bricks and mortar business, it is nicely profitable for us. I think the mix will continue to change, you know, as we go forward, you know. It'll be just more and more on the digital side. All right. Then in terms of just the Dandelion, I think you said that you expect that to get some more momentum for 2024. Probably not a lot of revenues this year because these deals are, you know, you hook up a bank and then they start sending. Then they have our distribution channels now available to their customers, which they didn't. Peer-to-peer did not have. They then begin marketing to their customers. Their customers use it, you know. It gets its own momentum once you've signed up a bank and have it working. It's one of those things growing, kind of over time. Not much. We wouldn't expect much additional Dandelion revenues this year unless we maybe nail another like FinTech, like we have with Xoom or Remitly, because that's a pretty fast, that's a pretty fast ramp-up. These banks, which are really where the big money is, they're gonna take a little bit longer because they're used to only offering SWIFT. They didn't offer all the cash payouts, the wallet payouts, and also the RTP payouts that we offer with Dandelion. It's, you know, it's really interesting talking to these banks. They are absolutely starting to clue in to this value proposition because they wanna create a, you know, a better product for their customers and be competitive. All right. Thanks, Mike. I appreciate it. Mm-hmm. Thank you. One moment for our next question. Our next question comes from the line of Mike Grondahl from Northland Capital Markets. Hey, guys. Thanks. Can you guys roughly size up Croatia, and that hit going to the euro? Then you did mention some offsets to that that were rate-related. Could you describe what those rate-related offsets are or what that means? Well, you go ahead. Well, we, Mike, we've not disclosed exactly what our impact is. We rather not do that for competitive reasons out there. The offsets are really in kind of a couple of categories, some opportunities where interchange rate will improve and some places where we'll be able to add some surcharge or access fees. Then as Mike mentioned, we've been proactive on, you know, paring back ATMs that we believe would not be profitable, if, you know, when we don't have DCC. It's largely the opportunities that we have to pick up some of this interchange and surcharge and then supplemented by some cost management to largely cover. Got it. Hey, just real quick. Any data points you can throw out there that makes you feel confident or decent about the 92%-93% travel recovery? I guess, you know what I'd say is really kind of two things. One, we have consistently seen, as Mike said in his comments, that our transactions have paralleled the EUROCONTROL data. It's just intuitive, I think, Mike. You know, if people are on the plane, they get off the plane, they start walking down the street, they need cash, they stop by the ATM. It just seems so intuitive that, you know, there should be direct correlation, and that's what we've consistently seen. Again, looking to what the outlook of EUROCONTROL is, and how they've looked at it, we feel pretty confident with that. The second thing is, as I mentioned, as we kinda closed out the year, we saw that, you know, we're kinda in that 75-ish kinda% range there. You know, some countries a little better, some a little less, but overall about there. Again, we've consistently seen this move up. We've seen consistent correlation with EUROCONTROL. Mike said in there, Delta, you know, again, somebody that's in the business of taking people to Europe, they're feeling pretty bullish about their expectations for this year. You know, those are all things that, you know, basically point us toward a continuing improvement. Nothing at this point tells us that it looks like the 92, 93 number's in jeopardy. That's where we continue to see and the optimism that we draw from. Also, let's not forget, it is a fixed issue. you know, our favorite group of travelers, our largest single group are people from Britain because they all have an island currency no matter where they land in our other territories. But even though we averaged about 75% last year, we did the full analysis on flights coming out of Heathrow as an example. it was really only 62% of 19's travelers last year that came out of Heathrow. Just by fixing Heathrow, we'll be good because it's not just the number of travelers, but where they come from. that's one of the little, you might say, little gives us a little bit of oomph as we go into next year. Great. Hey, thank you, guys. I think, operator, I think that has to be the last call. We're at the top of the hour. I'd like to thank everybody for listening in and happy to talk to you in about 90 days. This concludes today's conference call. Thank you for participating. You may now disconnect.
