LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES	(16) LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation and contingencies From time to time, the Company is a party to legal or regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of the Company's business. Currently, there are no legal proceedings or regulatory findings that management believes, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Since July 2024, the Company has received multiple differing judicial decisions in the Italian court system addressing withholding taxes on certain agency relationships within the Cross-Border Payments Segment in Italy. The Company had taken the position that the withholding tax is not applicable after consulting with tax advisors and receiving a tax opinion on September 13, 2010. The Company, along with the tax advisors, continue to agree with the Company’s prior conclusion. The Company completed an assessment as required under US GAAP and concluded that it is reasonably possible that a liability has been incurred, but not “probable”. The principal amount of the agent-based withholding tax could be approximately €19.4 million for all open periods. In March 2025, the Company was notified of a fire, resulting in the loss of Malaysian Ringgit notes in the custody of a third-party service provider. The third-party service provider had the risk of loss based on the terms of the contractual arrangement. The bank note balance of approximately $11.0 million was moved to other receivables as of June 30, 2026. At this time the Company has determined that it is probable the bank notes will be recovered from the third-party service provider.
