Western Union Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

  • Q2 GAAP revenue of $1.17 billion grew 3% on a reported basis, or 9% on an adjusted basis
  • Q2 GAAP EPS of $0.47, a decrease of 6% year-over-year; Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.51, flat year-over-year
  • C2C transactions accelerated and grew 4%, supported by 12% branded digital transaction growth, and improving retail transaction trends
  • Company raises full-year 2023 outlook

The Western Union Company (the “Company”) (NYSE: WU) today reported second quarter 2023 results.

The Company’s second-quarter revenue of $1.17 billion grew 3% on a reported basis, or 9% on a constant currency basis excluding the contribution from Business Solutions, compared to the prior year period. Argentinian inflation benefited revenue by approximately three percentage points. A revenue increase in Iraq was partially offset by investments in the Company’s ‘Evolve 2025’ strategy.

“Our progress continued into the second quarter, with strong results that exceeded our expectations,” said Devin McGranahan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Western Union. “Growth in our C2C transactions was the highest since 2021, primarily driven by our branded digital go-to-market program. We also experienced an increase in revenue from Iraq arising from prior changes in Iraqi monetary policies.”

McGranahan added, “These results reflect the advancement of our ‘Evolve 2025’ strategy and demonstrate continued momentum building across channels and geographies.”

GAAP EPS in the second quarter was $0.47 compared to $0.50 in the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease was due to lower operating profit, including costs related to the Company’s operating expense redeployment program in the current period. Adjusted EPS in the second quarter was $0.51 and flat compared to the prior year period, with the current year period benefiting from a lower share count and a lower adjusted effective tax rate, partially offset by lower pre-tax profit.

Q2 Business Results

  • C2C revenues grew 4% on a reported basis, or 5% constant currency, while transactions increased 4% compared to the prior year period. Regionally, revenue growth was driven by MEASA, due to Iraq, LACA, and sequential improvements in Europe & CIS, North America, and APAC.
  • Branded digital revenue declined 2% on a reported and constant currency basis, and represented 21% and 28% of total C2C revenues and transactions, respectively. Transactions accelerated and grew 12% in the quarter driven by the Company’s updated go-to-market strategy.
  • On July 1, 2023, the Company completed the third and final closing of its Business Solutions business, which included the European Union operations. The gain associated with the final closing, continues to be subject to regulatory capital adjustments. All cash consideration was received at the first closing.

Q2 Financial Results

  • GAAP operating margin in the quarter was 20.7%, compared to 23.2% in the prior year period. The adjusted operating margin was 21.8% compared to 23.3% in the prior year period. The decrease in the adjusted operating margin was primarily due to currency impacts, higher incentive compensation, higher variable costs, and investments related to the Company’s ‘Evolve 2025’ strategy, partially offset by lower marketing spend and net savings related to the Company’s operating expense redeployment program.
  • The GAAP effective tax rate in the quarter was 18.6%, compared to 17.9% in the prior year period. The adjusted effective tax rate was 16.0% in the quarter, compared to 16.9% in the prior year period.
  • Year-to-date, cash flow from operating activities was $264 million, including a $119 million transition tax payment in the second quarter related to the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company returned $88 million to shareholders in the second quarter through dividends.

2023 Outlook

Today, the Company raised its 2023 full-year revenue and EPS outlook due primarily to business performance in Iraq. The outlook assumes no material changes in macroeconomic conditions, including changes in foreign currencies or Argentinian inflation.

1 Adjusted revenue excludes currency impact, Argentinian Inflation, and Business Solutions

The Company has been in regular discussions with policymakers in both the U.S. and Iraq about the elevated remittance volumes flowing through its network in Iraq during the second quarter. Due to recent U.S. government actions, including those announced on July 19, 2023, impacting fourteen Iraqi banks, some of whom were the Company’s agents, the ongoing and future application of the Company’s own compliance and risk controls, and future regulatory and policy changes, the Company expects these volumes to be significantly lower going forward. As a result, the Company has not included any of the elevated remittance volume from Iraq in its outlook after July.

Non-GAAP Measures

Western Union presents a number of non-GAAP financial measures because management believes that these metrics provide meaningful supplemental information in addition to the GAAP metrics and provide comparability and consistency to prior periods. Constant currency results assume foreign revenues are translated from foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar, net of the effect of foreign currency hedges, at rates consistent with those in the prior year.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP to comparable GAAP measures are available in the accompanying schedules and in the “Investor Relations” section of the Company’s website at https://ir.westernunion.com.

GAAP figures reflect an expected partial year of Business Solutions ownership, including contractual payments to the buyers, representing profits between the first and third closings. Adjusted constant currency revenue growth metrics exclude contributions from Business Solutions. Adjusted operating profit metrics exclude the following items, as applicable: contributions from Business Solutions, operating expense redeployment program costs, acquisition and separation costs, and Russia and Belarus exit costs. Adjusted effective tax rate and adjusted earnings per share metrics exclude the following items and the related taxes, as applicable: Business Solutions gain, operating expense redeployment program costs, acquisition and separation costs, Russia and Belarus exit costs, and the reversal of significant uncertain tax positions.

____________________

(a)

On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to the Buyer. The sale was completed in three closings, the first of which occurred on March 1, 2022. The second occurred on December 31, 2022 and the final occurred on July 1, 2023. The remaining operations of the Business Solutions business were included in Revenues and Operating income until closing. During the period between the first and final closings, the Company was required to pay the Buyer a measure of profit from these operations, while owned by the Company, adjusted for other charges, as contractually agreed, which was included in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

(b)

Other primarily includes the Company’s bill payment services which facilitate payments from consumers to businesses and other organizations and the Company’s money order services.

(c)

Represents the exit costs incurred in connection with the suspension of operations in Russia and Belarus and the divestiture of the Business Solutions business. While certain of the expenses are identifiable to the Company's segments, the expenses are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation.

(d)

Represents severance, expenses associated with streamlining the Company's organizational and legal structure, and other expenses associated with the Company's program to redeploy expenses in its cost base through optimizations in vendor management, real estate, marketing, and people strategy, as previously announced in October 2022.

THE WESTERN UNION COMPANY

NOTES TO KEY STATISTICS

(Unaudited)

(in millions, unless indicated otherwise)

Western Union’s management believes the non-GAAP financial measures presented within this press release and related tables provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s results to assist management, investors, analysts, and others in understanding the Company’s financial results and to better analyze operating, profitability, and other financial performance trends in the Company’s underlying business because they provide consistency and comparability to prior periods or eliminate currency volatility, increasing the comparability of the Company's underlying results and trends.

A non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measure. A non-GAAP financial measure reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with the Company’s GAAP results and the reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure, provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s business. Users of the financial statements are encouraged to review the Company’s financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included below, where not previously reconciled above.

Non-GAAP related notes:

 

(i)

Represents the impact from the fluctuation in exchange rates between all foreign currency denominated amounts and the United States dollar. Constant currency results exclude any benefit or loss caused by foreign exchange fluctuations between foreign currencies and the United States dollar, net of foreign currency hedges, which would not have occurred if there had been a constant exchange rate.

 

 

(j)

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”) results from taking operating income and adjusting for depreciation and amortization expenses. EBITDA results provide an additional performance measurement calculation which helps neutralize the operating income effect of assets acquired in prior periods.

 

 

(k)

Represents the impact from expenses incurred in connection with the Company's acquisition and divestiture activity, including for the review and closing of these transactions. Also includes costs associated with the divestiture of the Business Solutions business, primarily related to severance and non-cash impairments of property and equipment and an operating lease right-of-use asset.

 

 

(l)

During 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC (collectively, the "Buyer"). The sale was completed in three closings, the first of which occurred on March 1, 2022 with the entirety of the cash consideration collected at that time and allocated to the closings on a relative fair value basis. The first closing excluded the operations in the European Union and the United Kingdom and resulted in a gain of $151.4 million. The second closing, which included the United Kingdom operations, occurred on December 31, 2022 and resulted in a gain of $96.9 million. The final closing, which included the European Union operations, occurred on July 1, 2023, and the gain associated with the final closing that will be recognized in Q3 2023 will be subject to regulatory capital adjustments. Revenues have been adjusted to exclude the carved out financial information for the Business Solutions business to compare the year-over-year changes and trends in the Company's continuing businesses, excluding the effects of this divestiture. While the sale of the Company's Business Solutions business does not qualify for or represent discontinued operations, the Company has also adjusted operating income, beginning in the first quarter of 2022 and concurrent with the sale, to exclude the carved out direct profit of the Business Solutions business. The operations of the Business Solutions business sold in the final closing continued to be included in Revenues and Operating income after the second closing. However, between the first and final closings, the Company was required to pay the Buyer a measure of the profits from these operations, while owned by the Company, adjusted for other charges, and this expense was recognized in Other expense, net. Therefore, the Company believes that providing this information enhances investors' understanding of the profitability of the Company's remaining businesses. The Company has also excluded the gain on the sale, net of related taxes, from its results.

 

 

(m)

Represents the exit costs incurred in connection with the Company's suspension of its operations in Russia and Belarus primarily related to severance and non-cash impairments of property and equipment, an operating lease right-of-use asset, and other intangible assets.

 

 

(n)

Represents non-cash reversals of significant uncertain tax positions. While the Company continues to reverse its uncertain tax positions upon settlements with taxing authorities, the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations, and other events, the Company has excluded certain reversals of uncertain tax positions in the third and fourth quarter of 2022 because of the significance of these reversals on its reported results.

 

(o)

Represents severance, expenses associated with streamlining the Company's organizational and legal structure, and other expenses associated with the Company's program to redeploy expenses in its cost base through optimizations in vendor management, real estate, marketing, and people strategy as previously announced in October 2022. Previous expenses incurred under the program included non-cash impairments of operating lease right-of-use assets and property and equipment. The expenses are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation.
