"We believe that S&P's investment-grade designation reflects our ability to consistently generate strong free cash flows which have allowed us to deleverage, fund acquisitions and repurchase shares," stated Michael J. Brown, Euronet's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "This S&P rating offers an independent perspective that validates the strength of our financial position and our conservative balance sheet management, and should give our customers, vendors and content providers additional confidence regarding financial strength."
