Our model for investors emphasizes steady, reliable growth. And on that note, we are pleased with our performance. In 2013, solid performance from our traditional core drivers melded together with two transformative acquisitions and a series of strategic investments and realignments that will drive our future growth — including creation of the Enterprise Growth Group, whose sole charge is to deliver the most valuable consumer ATM experience. In a world that is still finding its way vis–à–vis securing electronic payments, we believe cash continues to dispense value and security for the consumer and retailer as no electronic payment can. The proof is in the way we deliver for our investors, our clients and the countless consumers who continue to rely on cash. The upshot: we’ve recorded 20 consecutive quarters of year-over-year growth in adjusted net income per share. BUILDING ON FOUR YEARS OF GROWTH The first four years I have led Cardtronics have sped by. Since February 2010, a lot has changed. We have achieved a great deal, including: • Growth of nearly 130 percent in the number of ATMs we support, from 35,000 to more than 80,000. Since we typically operate one ATM in a location, this translates into a force of 80,000 locations, a powerful asset that enables us to communicate with roughly 45 million consumers each month. • Global transaction volumes that have increased from 392 million to nearly 1 billion. • An increase in the number of countries we operate in from three to five — with the new entries being Canada and Germany — and a rise in the number of our offices from seven to 20. • More than doubling our team from approximately 460 to more than 1,000. • The acquisition of 13 companies, including our largest transaction to date. • A tripling in the stock market capitalization of Cardtronics, from $450 million to more than $1.7 billion. Much of what we have accomplished in 2013 specifically has laid the groundwork for future sustainable growth. Let’s look at that next. EXPANDING AND ENHANCING: THE CARDPOINT & I-DESIGN EFFECT Two major acquisitions — which I invite you to read more about in the Transformative Acquisitions section of this report — in Europe in 2013 already are delivering enhanced opportunities for us. In August, we completed the acquisition of Cardpoint Ltd., an ATM services provider that operates under the names Cashzone in the United Kingdom and Cardpoint in Germany. This transaction grew our U.K. portfolio of ATMs by 7,100 and opened the door into Germany with 800 ATMs. With this transaction, we also introduced a new corporate identity for our European operations: Cardtronics Europe. This is a region where we see significant potential for increasing bottom-line contributions. In March, we acquired i-design, a company in Scotland that provides marketing and advertising services for ATM owners. Its capabilities range from remembering consumer preferences to delivering targeted marketing and advertising messages while customers wait for their cash, as well as enabling interactive on-screen customer surveys. With i-design, we are now immersed in the world of digital advertising and marketing, but in a way that complements our core ATM capabilities. We see great potential for these capabilities to provide a more rewarding consumer experience, transforming ATMs into interfaces for customer loyalty. Ultimately, we believe they will help drive in-store sales activities for retailers and cross-sales for financial institutions – creating unique value for Cardtronics’ clients. We plan to roll out i-design across strategically located segments of our global fleet of ATMs over the next several years. The i-design acquisition also provides another pathway for us to grow internationally, because i-design actively sells in more countries today than does Cardtronics. 2 2013 Annual Report and Form 10-K www.cardtronics.com A Letter From the CEO OUR ENTERPRISE GROWTH TEAM led to the creation of a dedicated chief information security officer To us, enterprise growth means just that: a focus on sustainable, top- role on our management team.
