    Company to Host Conference Call Today at 9 a.m. ET

    MIAMI, Aug. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- International Money Express, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMXI) (“Intermex” or the “Company”), one of the nation’s leading omnichannel money transfer services to Latin America, today reported strong growth during the second quarter of 2022. With double-digit increases in all of the Company’s key financial performance measures, the Company continues its four-year track record of exceptional earnings growth as a public company.

    Financial performance highlights for the second quarter of 2022 compared with the same period last year are:

    • Revenues of $136.9 million, up 17.3%.
    • Net Income of $16.0 million, up 20.8%.
    • Diluted EPS of $0.41 per share, up 20.6%.
    • Adjusted Net Income of $18.3 million, up 19.5%.
    • Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.47 per share, up 20.5%.  
    • Adjusted EBITDA of $27.7 million, up 19.3%.

    “Intermex continues to deliver sector-leading growth, consistently generating strong financial and operating results. Our best-in-class customer service and differentiated technology, coupled with our omnichannel strategy, sets us apart from other remittance providers,” said Bob Lisy, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of Intermex. “The Company stands apart from our competition by providing a higher level of customer service, both in person and online, coupled with a strong network of agent partners. As a result, the Company’s unprecedented history of performance continued without interruption during the second quarter. Our strategy remains to create significant shareholder value through our focused, thoughtful approach to capitalize on the sizeable opportunity we see in the remittance marketplace.”

    Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results (all comparisons are to the Second Quarter 2021)
    Total revenues for the Company were $136.9 million, up 17.3%. Contributing to the strong revenue growth was a 10.8% increase in the nationwide network of independent retail Intermex agents and a 14.7% increase in unique, active customers. The Company’s 3.0 million customers generated 11.9 million money transfer transactions, an increase of 18.1%. Also contributing to the record number of transactions was the 106.6% growth in digital transactions. The transaction growth resulted in a 22.1% increase in the principal amount transferred to $5.3 billion. This principal translates to a 21.9 % market share in the combined Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras markets up from 21.0% in the second quarter of 2021.

    Net income grew 20.8% to $16.0 million. Diluted earnings per share were $0.41, an increase of 20.6%. Net income and EPS growth reflect the increased revenues, lower interest, depreciation, and amortization expenses, and a $0.8 million refund for state business and occupancy taxes. These benefits were partially offset by increased service charges from agents and banks, salaries, general and administrative expenses, and income tax expense, primarily driven by the growth in agents, customers, transactions, and revenues noted above.

    Adjusted net income increased 19.5% to $18.3 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.47, an increase of 20.5%, reflecting the items noted above in net income, adjusted for certain non-cash expenses, unique charges, and tax adjustments.

    Adjusted EBITDA increased 19.3% to $27.7 million, primarily due to the increased revenues, partially offset by increased service charges from agents and banks, salaries, and general and administrative expenses.

    Year to Date Financial Results for 2022 (all comparisons are to the first six months of 2021)
    Revenues increased by 19.1% to $251.6 million. Driving that growth was an 18.8% increase in net money transfer transactions. A 105.7% increase in digital transactions initiated also contributed to this growth. Principal transfers increased 25.4% to $9.7 billion.

    The Company reported net income of $27.6 million, an increase of 24.5%. Diluted earnings per share were $0.71, an increase of 24.6%, attributable to the year-to-date effects of the same items noted above for the second quarter of 2022.

    Adjusted net income totaled $31.6 million, an increase of 22.0%. Adjusted diluted earnings per share totaled $0.81, an increase of 20.9%, attributable to the same items noted above for the second quarter of 2022.

    Adjusted EBITDA increased 20.8% to $48.4 million, attributable to the same items noted above for the second quarter of 2022 and the higher net effect of the adjusting items detailed in the reconciliation table below following the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

    Other Items
    The Company ended the second quarter of 2022 with $114.6 million in cash, a decrease of 27.1% compared to March 31, 2022, due to the calendar timing of holidays in Guatemala and the US, with Guatemala’s falling on a Friday this year. The holidays required higher prefunding to our payers, which resulted in a larger outstanding balance of prepaid wires, net, at the end of the second quarter of 2022.

    Net Free Cash Generated was up 6.9% to $17.3 million in the second quarter of 2022. The second quarter of 2022 included a scheduled paydown of our debt, negatively impacting net free cash generated as there was no scheduled payment in 2021 due to the refinancing of our debt.

    The Company repurchased approximately 504,000 shares of its common stock for $10.0 million during the second quarter of 2022 and approximately 1.1 million shares for $19.2 million to date at an average price of $17.95 under the current stock repurchase authorization, of which $20.8 million remains available.

    2022 Guidance
    The Company is updating full-year guidance due to better than anticipated operating results compared with full-year 2021 and now expects:

    • Revenue of $542 million to $551 million, an increase of 18% to 20%.
    • Net Income of $60 million to $61 million, an increase of 28% to 30%.
    • Adjusted Net Income of $68 million to $69 million, an increase of 19% to 20%.
    • Adjusted EBITDA of $104 million to $106 million, an increase of 20% to 22%.

    Non-GAAP Measures
    Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Net Free Cash Generated, each a Non-GAAP financial measure, are the primary metrics used by management to evaluate the financial performance of our business. We present these Non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they are frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Further, we believe they help highlight trends in our operating results, because certain of such measures exclude, among other things, the effects of certain transactions that are outside the control of management, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments.

    Adjusted Net Income is defined as Net Income adjusted to add back certain charges and expenses, such as non-cash amortization of certain intangibles resulting from business acquisition transactions, non-cash compensation costs, and other items outlined in the reconciliation tables below, as these charges and expenses are not considered a part of our core business operations and are not an indicator of ongoing future Company performance.

    Adjusted Earnings per Share – Basic and Diluted is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by GAAP weighted-average common shares outstanding (basic and diluted).

    Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net Income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes, and also adjusted to add back certain charges and expenses, such as non-cash compensation costs and other items outlined in the reconciliation table below, as these charges and expenses are not considered a part of our core business operations and are not an indicator of ongoing future Company performance.

    Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by Revenues.

    Net Free Cash Generated is defined as Net Income before provision for credit losses and depreciation and amortization adjusted to add back certain non-cash charges and expenses, such as non-cash compensation costs, and reduced by cash used in investing activities and servicing of our debt obligations.

    Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Net Free Cash Generated are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income as a measure of operating performance or cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily calculated the same way by different companies and should not be considered a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP.

    Reconciliations of Net Income, the Company’s closest GAAP measure, to Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Free Cash Generated, as well as a reconciliation of Earnings per share to Adjusted Earnings per share and Net Income Margin to Adjusted EBITDA Margin, are outlined in the tables below following the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. A quantitative reconciliation of projected Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the amounts necessary under GAAP guidance for operating or other adjusted items including, without limitation, costs and expenses related to acquisitions and other transactions, share-based compensation, tax effects of certain adjustments and losses related to legal contingencies or disposal of assets.
