The Company's EFT Processing Segment normally experiences its heaviest demand for dynamic currency conversion ("DCC") services during the third quarter of the fiscal year, normally coinciding with the tourism season. The epay Segment is normally impacted by seasonality during the fourth quarter and first quarter of each year due to higher transaction levels during the holiday season and lower levels following the holiday season. Also, epay sells large loyalty rewards campaigns to retailers, which could be deployed in any given quarter and will impact the activity in that quarter accordingly. Seasonality in the Money Transfer Segment varies by region of the world. In most markets, the Company usually experiences increased demand for money transfer services from the month of May through the fourth quarter of each year, coinciding with the increase in worker migration patterns and various holidays, and its lowest transaction levels during the first quarter of the year.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding segment reporting. The standard requires that public entities expand reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The Company is required to adopt the new standard for its 2024 annual reporting and effective January 1, 2025 for its interim reporting, using a retrospective approach. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s disclosures.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding income tax disclosures. The standard requires that public entities disclose more consistent and detailed categories in their statutory-to-effective income tax rate reconciliations and further disaggregate income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The Company is required to adopt the new standard for its 2025 annual reporting, using a prospective approach. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s disclosures.

(5) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the respective period, after adjusting for the potential dilution of options to purchase the Company’s common stock, assumed vesting of restricted stock units and the assumed conversion of the Company’s convertible debt, if such conversion would be dilutive.

The Company issued Convertible Senior Notes ("Convertible Notes") due March 2049 on March 18, 2019. The 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 Euronet's common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company's option. The Company has stated its 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,

(11) 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
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 $

Foreign currency exchange contracts - xe Operations
xe writes derivative instruments, primarily foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps, mostly with counterparties comprised of individuals and small-to-medium size businesses and derives a currency margin from this activity as part of its operations. xe aggregates its foreign currency exposures arising from customer contracts and hedges the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties. Foreign exchange revenues from xe's total portfolio of positions were $
The fair value of xe's total portfolio of positions can change significantly from period to period based on, among other factors, market movements and changes in customer contract positions. xe manages counterparty credit risk (the risk that counterparties will default and not make payments according to the terms of the agreements) on an individual counterparty basis. It mitigates this risk by entering contracts with collateral posting requirements and/or by performing financial assessments prior to contract execution, conducting periodic evaluations of counterparty performance and maintaining a diverse portfolio of qualified counterparties. xe does not expect any significant losses from counterparty defaults.
The aggregate equivalent U.S. dollar notional amount of foreign currency derivative customer contracts held by the Company in its xe operations as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $

Most leases include an option to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease terms. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease terms. The Company also has a unilateral termination right for most of the ATM site leases. Since the Company is 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 the Company's 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.

Our primary product offerings include comprehensive ATM, point-of-sale ("POS"), card outsourcing, card issuing and merchant acquiring services, software solutions, electronic distribution of prepaid mobile airtime, managed services and other electronic payment products, foreign currency exchange services and global money transfer services. We operate in the following three segments:
1) The EFT Processing Segment meets the needs of financial institutions and consumers through Euronet-owned and outsourced ATMs and POS terminals combined with value added and transaction processing services. We deploy and operate our own ATMs, providing ATM services for financial institutions and providing electronic payment processing solutions. EFT offers a suite of integrated electronic financial transaction software solutions for electronic payment and transaction delivery systems. Transactions processed span a network of 54,020 active ATMs and approximately 949,000 POS terminals.
2) The epay Segment provides retail payment solutions and delivers innovative connections between the digital content of the world’s leading brands and consumers. epay has one of the largest retail networks across Europe and Asia for the distribution of physical and digital third-party content, including branded payments, mobile, and alternative payments, partnering with 1,000+ of the world’s leading brands. In addition, through our own products, we have leveraged our technology to solve business challenges, delivering scalable solutions to drive efficiency and effectiveness. Our comprehensive range of consumer products simplifies transactions and provides financial convenience across a wide range of branded payments. epay operates in 60+ countries. We operate a network that includes approximately 766,000 POS terminals that enable electronic processing of prepaid mobile airtime "top-up" services and other digital media content.
3) The Money Transfer Segment provides global money transfers and currency exchange information in retail stores, apps, and websites through Ria Money Transfer, Xe and the Dandelion cross-border real-time payments network. Euronet’s Money Transfer segment offers real-time, cross-border payments to consumers and businesses across 205 countries and territories, enabling banks, fintechs and big tech platforms to integrate an international payments solution into their own platforms.

Dandelion powers cross-border payments for Xe and Ria, as well as third party banks, fintechs, and big tech platforms.
Euronet 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 34% and 31% of total consolidated revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 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.
| 25 |
epay Segment — Revenues in the epay Segment, which represented approximately 26% and 27% of total consolidated revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are primarily derived from commissions or processing fees received from mobile phone operators for the processing and distribution of prepaid mobile airtime and commissions earned from the distribution of other electronic content, vouchers, and physical gifts. The proportion of epay Segment revenues earned from the distribution of prepaid mobile phone time as compared with other electronic products has decreased over time, and digital media content now produces approximately 66% of epay Segment revenues. Other electronic content offered by this segment includes digital content such as music, games, and software, as well as other products including prepaid long distance calling card plans, prepaid Internet plans, prepaid debit cards, gift cards, vouchers, transport payments, lottery payments, bill payment, and money transfer.
Opportunities and Challenges
The global product markets in which we operate are large and fragmented, which poses both opportunities and challenges for our technology to disrupt new and existing competition. As an organization, our focus is on increasing our market presence through both physical (ATMs, POS terminals, Company stores and agent correspondents) and digital assets and providing new and improved products and services for customers through all of our channels, which may in turn drive an increase in the number of transactions on our networks. Each of these opportunities also presents us with challenges, including differentiating our portfolio of products and services in highly competitive markets, the successful development and implementation of our software products and access to financing for expansion.
1) The EFT Processing Segment opportunities include physical expansion into target markets, developing value-added products or services, increasing high value DCC and surcharge transactions and efficiently leveraging our portfolio of software solutions. Our opportunities are dependent on renewing and expanding our card acceptance, ATM, POS and merchant acquiring services, cash supply and other commercial agreements with customers and financial institutions. Operational challenges in the EFT Processing Segment include obtaining and maintaining the required licenses and sponsorship agreements in markets in which we operate and navigating frequently changing rules imposed by international card organizations, such as Visa® and Mastercard®, that govern ATM interchange fees, direct access fees and other restrictions. Our profitability is dependent on the laws and regulations that govern DCC transactions, specifically in the E.U., as well as the laws and regulations of each country in which we operate. These laws and regulations may impact our cross-border and cross-currency transactions. The timing and amount of revenues in the EFT Processing Segment is uncertain and unpredictable due to inherent limitations in managing our estate of ATMs. Our ATM estate is dependent on contracts that cover large numbers of ATMs, and management is complicated by legal and regulatory considerations of local countries, as well as customers' decisions whether to outsource ATMs. Inflationary pressure may impact our business as travelers have less cash available to spend on vacations.
| 26 |
2) The epay Segment opportunities include renewing existing and negotiating new agreements in target markets in which we operate, primarily with digital content providers, mobile operators, financial institutions and retailers. The overall growth rate in the digital media content and prepaid mobile phone markets shifts between prepaid and postpaid services, and our market share in those respective markets will have a significant impact on our ability to maintain and grow the epay Segment revenues. There is significant competition in these markets that may impact our ability to grow organically and increase the margin we earn and the margin that we pay to retailers. The profitability of the epay Segment is dependent on our ability to adapt to new technologies that may compete with POS distribution of digital content and prepaid mobile airtime, as well as our ability to leverage cross-selling opportunities with our EFT and Money Transfer Segments. The epay Segment opportunities may be impacted by government-imposed restrictions on retailers and/or content providers with whom we partner in countries in which we have a presence, and corresponding licensure requirements mandated upon such parties to legally operate in such countries.
For all segments, our continued expansion may involve additional acquisitions that could divert our resources and management time and require integration of new assets with our existing networks and services. Our ability to effectively manage our growth has required us to expand our operating systems and employee base, particularly at the management level, which has added incremental operating costs. An inability to continue to effectively manage expansion could have a material adverse effect on our business, growth, financial condition or results of operations. Inadequate technology and resources would impair our ability to maintain current processing technology and efficiencies, as well as deliver new and innovative services to compete in the marketplace. Recently, inflation has been increasing our cost structure in many parts of the world in which we operate.

Our revenues and local expenses are recorded in the functional currencies of our operating entities, and then are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes; therefore, amounts we earn outside the U.S. are negatively impacted by a stronger U.S. dollar and positively impacted by a weaker U.S. dollar. If significant, in our discussion we will refer to the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in our comparison of operating segment results.
To provide further perspective on the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, the following table shows the changes in values relative to the U.S. dollar of the currencies of the countries in which we have our most significant operations:

Interest income
Interest income was $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $2.5 million or 63% compared to the same period in 2023. Interest income was $18.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $8.0 million or 79% compared to the same period in 2023.This increase was driven by an increase in interest rates on our interest bearing bank accounts.
Foreign currency exchange loss, net
Foreign currency exchange activity includes gains and losses on certain foreign currency exchange derivative contracts and the impact of remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the local currency of each of our subsidiaries give rise to foreign currency exchange gains and losses. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses that result from remeasurement of these assets and liabilities are recorded in net income.
We recorded net foreign currency exchange income of $27.4 million and $16.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net foreign currency exchange loss of $8.8 million and $3.6 million for the same periods in 2023. These realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses reflect the fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar against the currencies of the countries in which we operated during the respective period.
The Company's effective income tax rate was 27.3% and 30.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 29.2% and 30.6% for the same periods ended September 30, 2023. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was higher than the applicable statutory income tax rate of 21% as a result of certain foreign earnings being subject to higher local statutory tax rates and the Company’s U.S. deferred tax activity.

Net income attributable to Euronet was $151.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $47.3 million or 45% compared to the same period in 2023. Net income attributable to Euronet was $260.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $50.4 million or 24% compared to the same period in 2023.
Working capital
As of September 30, 2024, we had working capital of $914.6 million, which is calculated as the difference between total current assets and total current liabilities, compared to working capital of $1,462.1 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the net effect of the classification of the convertible debt to current liabilities, additional financing for the ATMs, operational results, acquisitions, repurchases of shares and working capital changes. Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.26 and 1.54 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
We require substantial working capital to finance operations. The Money Transfer Segment funds the payout of the majority of our consumer-to-consumer money transfer services before receiving the benefit of amounts collected from customers by agents. Working capital needs increase in order to cover weekends and banking holidays. As a result, we may report more or less working capital for the Money Transfer Segment based solely upon the day on which the reporting period ends. The epay Segment produces positive working capital, some of which is restricted in connection with the administration of its customer collection and vendor remittance activities. In our EFT Processing Segment, we obtain a significant portion of the cash required to operate our ATMs through various cash supply arrangements, the amount of which is not recorded on Euronet's Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, in certain countries, we fund the cash required to operate our ATM network from borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, uncommitted credit agreements and cash flows from operations. As of September 30, 2024, we had $805.4 million of our own cash in use or designated for use in our ATM network, which is recorded in ATM cash on Euronet's Consolidated Balance Sheet. ATM cash increased $280.2 million from $525.2 million as of December 31, 2023 to $805.4 million as of September 30, 2024 as a result of the increase in number of active ATMs as of September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023. The Company has $1,524.1 million of unrestricted cash as of September 30, 2024 compared to $1,254.2 million as of December 31, 2023. Including the $805.4 million of cash in ATMs at September 30, 2024, we have access to $2,941.8 million in available cash, and $669.8 million available under the Credit Facility.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $652.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $52.5 million for the same period in 2023. The net increase in operating cash flows was primarily due to other working capital fluctuations.
Investing activity cash flow
Cash flows used in investing activities were $185.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $74.6 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to the $91.3 million of cash paid for the acquisitions during the first nine months of 2024. Additionally, we used $83.0 million for purchases of property and equipment, net of sale proceeds for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $69.1 million for the same period in 2023.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $185.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to cash flows used by financing activities of $208.3 million for the same period in 2023. Our borrowing activities on the Credit Facility for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 consisted of net repayments of $4.5 million compared to net repayments of $333.8 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in financing activity is primarily the result of net borrowings of short-term obligations of $404.3 million offset by cash used to repurchase shares of $217.6 million. We received proceeds of $4.5 million and $3.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for the issuance of stock in connection with our Stock Incentive Plan.
Credit Facility - On October 24, 2022, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) to increase the facility from $1.03 billion to $1.25 billion and to extend the expiration to October 24, 2027. The revolving credit facility contains a sublimit of up to $250 million, with $150 million committed, for the issuance of letters of credit, a $75 million sublimit both for U.S. dollar swingline loans and for swingline loans in euros or British pounds sterling. The Credit Facility allows for borrowings in British pounds sterling, euro and U.S. dollars. Subject to certain conditions, the Company has the option to increase the Credit Facility by up to an additional $500 million by requesting additional commitments from existing or new lenders. Fees and interest on borrowings vary based upon the Company's corporate credit rating and will be based, in the case of letter of credit fees, on a margin, and in the case of interest, on a margin over a secured overnight financing rate, as defined in the agreement, with a margin, including the facility fee, ranging from 1.00% to 1.625% or the base rate, as selected by the Company. The applicable margin for borrowings under the credit facility, based on the Company's current credit rating is 1.25% including the facility fee.
As of September 30, 2024, we had $533.0 million of borrowings and $47.2 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. The remaining $669.8 million under the Credit Facility was available for borrowing.
On June 26, 2023, the Company entered into an Uncommitted Loan Agreement for $150 million, which expired on June 21, 2024. This loan was a Prime rate loan, a Bloomberg Short-term Bank Yield (“BSBY”) rate loan plus 0.95% or bore interest at the rate agreed to by the Bank and the Company at the time a loan was made. The weighted average interest rate from the loan inception date to June 21, 2024, was 6.32%.
On June 21, 2024, the Company rolled the $150 million Uncommitted Loan Agreement into a new Uncommitted Loan Agreement with a $400 million credit limit on or before September 30, 2024, and a credit limit of $250 million on or after October 1, 2024 for the sole purpose of providing vault cash for ATMs and expires no later than June 20, 2025. The loan had an outstanding balance of $250 million at September 30, 2024. The loan is a Prime Rate Loan, a Daily SOFR Rate Loan plus 1.05% or shall bear interest at the rate agreed to by the Bank and the Borrower at the time such Loan is made. The weighted-average interest rate from loan inception date to September 30, 2024, was 6.30%.
On June 27, 2024, the Company entered into an Uncommitted Loan Agreement for $300 million, fully drawn and outstanding at September 30, 2024, for the sole purpose of providing vault cash for ATMs, that expires no later than November 30, 2024. The loan is a Prime Rate Loan, a Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loan plus 1.125% or shall bear interest at the rate agreed to by the Bank and the Borrower at the time such Loan is made. The weighted-average interest rate from the loan inception date to September 30, 2024 was 6.39%.
Other uses of capital
Capital expenditures and needs - Total capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $83.0 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 2024 are currently estimated to range from approximately $100 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 (including our uncommitted credit facilities), 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. The current inflationary period has put pressure on our results of operations and our financial ition, primarily in the form of increased compensation expense. In addition, we have seen some signs of inflation impacting demand for our products and services by affecting discretionary spend items, such as gaming products, in our epay business, discretionary travel expenditures in EFT, 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 ARRANGEMENTS.
On 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 September 30, 2024, there were no material changes from the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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 September 30, 2024. See also Note 15, Commitments, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
As of September 30, 2024, 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, 2023.
Interest rate risk
As of September 30, 2024, our total debt outstanding, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was $2,280.8 million. Of this amount, $525.0 million, net of debt discounts, or 23% of our total debt obligations, relates to our contingent Convertible Notes that have a fixed coupon rate. Our $525.0 million outstanding principal amount of Convertible Notes accrue cash interest at a rate of 0.75% of the principal amount per annum. Based on quoted market prices, as of September 30, 2024, the fair value of our fixed rate Convertible Notes was $514.8 million, compared to a carrying value of $525.0 million. Further, as of September 30, 2024 we had $533.0 million of borrowings under our Credit Facility, or 23% of our total debt obligations. If we were to maintain these borrowings for one year and maximize the potential borrowings available under the revolving credit facility for one year, a 1% (100 basis points) increase in the applicable interest rate would result in additional interest expense to the Company of approximately $12.5 million. The carrying values of the Credit Facility approximates fair value because interest as of September 30, 2024, was based on SOFR that resets at various intervals of less than one year. Additionally, $668.0 million, or 29% of our total debt obligations, relates to Senior Notes having a fixed coupon rate. Our $668.0 million outstanding principal amount of Senior Notes accrue cash interest at a rate of 1.375% of the principal amount per annum. Based on quoted market prices, as of September 30, 2024, the fair value of our fixed rate Senior Notes was $646.7 million, compared to a carrying value of $668.0 million. An additional $550.0 million, or 24% of our total debt, is related to short-term uncommitted credit agreements. The credit agreements are due within one year and accrue interest at variable rates. The remaining $4.8 million, or 1% of our total debt obligations, is related to borrowings by certain subsidiaries to fund, from time to time, working capital requirements. These arrangements generally are due within one year and accrue interest at variable rates.
Foreign currency exchange rate risk
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, approximately 75.3% of our revenues were generated in non-U.S. dollar countries and we expect to continue generating a significant portion of our revenues in countries with currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
We are particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in exchange rates of the U.S. dollar to the currencies of countries in which we have significant operations, primarily the euro, British pound, Australian dollar, Polish zloty, Indian rupee, New Zealand dollar, Malaysian ringgit and Hungarian forint. As of September 30, 2024, we estimate that a 10% fluctuation in these foreign currency exchange rates would have the combined annualized effect on reported net income and working capital of approximately $140 million to $150 million. This effect is estimated by applying a 10% adjustment factor to our non-U.S. dollar results from operations, intercompany loans that generate foreign currency gains or losses and working capital balances that require translation from the respective functional currency to the U.S. dollar reporting currency.
Additionally, we have other non-current, non-U.S. dollar assets and liabilities on our balance sheet that are translated to the U.S. dollar during consolidation. These items primarily represent goodwill and intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions in countries other than the U.S. and our Senior Notes. We estimate that a 10% fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates would have a non-cash impact on total comprehensive income of approximately ($100) million to ($110 million) as a result of the change in value of these items during translation to the U.S. dollar. For the fluctuations described above, a strengthening U.S. dollar produces a financial loss, while a weakening U.S. dollar produces a financial gain.
We believe this quantitative measure has inherent limitations and does not take into account any governmental actions or changes in either customer purchasing patterns or our financing or operating strategies. Because a majority of our revenues and expenses are incurred in the functional currencies of our international operating entities, the profits we earn in foreign currencies are positively impacted by a weakening of the U.S. dollar and negatively impacted by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Additionally, a significant portion of our debt obligations are in U.S. dollars; therefore, as foreign currency exchange rates fluctuate, the amount available for repayment of debt will also increase or decrease.
We use derivatives to minimize our exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and to facilitate foreign currency risk management services by writing derivatives to customers. Derivatives are used to manage the overall market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rates; however, we do not perform the extensive record-keeping required to account for the derivative transactions as hedges. Due to the relatively short duration of the derivative contracts, we use the derivatives primarily as economic hedges. Since we do not designate foreign currency derivatives as hedging instruments pursuant to the accounting standards, we record gains and losses on foreign exchange derivatives in earnings in the period of change.
For derivative instruments our xe operations write to customers, we aggregate the foreign currency exposure arising from customer contracts, and hedge the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties as part of a broader foreign currency portfolio. The changes in fair value related to the total portfolio of positions are recorded in Revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of September 30, 2024, we held foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding with a notional value of $1.1 billion, primarily in U.S. dollars, euros, British pounds, Australian dollars and New Zealand dollars, that were not designated as hedges and for which the majority mature within the next twelve months.
The Company is, from time to time, a party to legal or regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business.
The discussion regarding contingencies in Part I, Item 1 — Financial Statements (unaudited), Note 16, Litigation and Contingencies, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report is incorporated herein by reference.
