- The macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, which could impact future operations and consumer spending trends.
- Ongoing weakness in the macroeconomic environment in the United Kingdom and parts of Asia Pacific, which partially offset strong performance in other regions.
- The adjusted operating margin for the Merchant segment declined by 30 basis points due to the acquisition of EVO, although it was consistent with expectations.
