> The revised outlook follows a quarter in which Cross-Border Payments adjusted EBITDA fell 34% on a reported basis.

Euronet Worldwide cut its 2026 revenue and adjusted EBITDA forecasts on Oct. 27, citing immigration-related pressure in several key Cross-Border Payments corridors, broader global economic strain and foreign-exchange conversion-rate changes.

The company now expects about $4.375 billion in revenue, $725 million in adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share growth of about 10%. At its May Investor Day, Euronet set targets of about $4.5 billion in revenue and $800 million in adjusted EBITDA, with adjusted EPS growth of 10% to 15%. The revised revenue and EBITDA forecasts are $125 million and $75 million below those targets. The new EPS growth estimate is at the bottom of the earlier range.

For the quarter ended Sept. 30, revenue rose 1% year over year to $1.161 billion. Adjusted EBITDA fell 8% to $226.1 million, while adjusted EPS declined 2% to $3.55 from $3.62.

Cross-Border Payments revenue dropped 5% on a reported basis to $431 million, or 4% when adjusted for currency effects. Segment adjusted EBITDA fell 34% on a reported basis to $43.6 million, or 32% excluding currency effects. Euronet described recent U.S. trends as stabilizing to modestly improving, while calling the market fragile.

Digital transactions in the segment climbed 34% to 8.1 million, even as total transactions decreased 2% to 45.3 million. Digital growth and the Dandelion platform partly offset the revenue pressure. Revenue from digital accelerator initiatives rose 33% in the first nine months of 2026 and made up 26% of year-to-date revenue.

“These results are below our expectations and our historical performance,” Euronet Chairman and CEO Michael J. Brown said.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Euronet did not reconcile its forward-looking estimate to generally accepted accounting principles, citing difficulty forecasting the adjustments required.
