Intermex Reports Third Quarter Results

Company generates strong quarterly results, while continuing to invest in growth opportunities

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

MIAMI, Nov. 07, 2023 (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 operating results for the third quarter of 2023.

Bob Lisy, Chairman, President, and CEO of Intermex, stated, “We are proud to beat market consensus for Revenue and deliver another strong quarter of growth. In line with our expectations, Net Income was impacted by non-core items this year and last, however Adjusted EBITDA grew at 14%, also ahead of our projections. The profitability and cash generation of our underlying operations have allowed us to invest to accelerate our core growth, optimize and scale recent M&A, and profitably expand our digital and card businesses. We are ahead of schedule in our plans to capture incremental retail transactions in the U.S., and we are efficiently and profitably creating incredible momentum in our growth areas - especially Digital, Europe, and others."

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results (all comparisons are to the Third Quarter 2022)
Total revenues for the Company were $172.4 million, up 22.5%. Contributing to the revenue growth is solid core growth in the underlying business and the inclusion of La Nacional in the U.S. and i-Transfer in Europe. Contributing to the revenue growth was a 35.1% increase in unique, active customers to 4.0 million, who generated 15.4 million money transfer transactions, an increase of 25.7%. Also contributing to the record number of transactions was the 62.9% growth in digital transactions. Transaction growth resulted in $6.6 billion in principal transferred, a 19.8% increase. This principal translates to a 21.8% market share, up from 20.6% in the top 5 U.S. to Latin America remittance markets - Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic in the third quarter of 2023.

Net income was $14.8 million, a decrease of 10.8%. Diluted earnings per share were $0.41, a decrease of 4.7%. Net income and diluted EPS are highly impacted by a $2.9 million tax benefit in the third quarter of 2022 that did not recur in the third quarter of 2023. In addition, increased revenues were partially offset by proportional growth in cost of sales and increased operating expenses – which included a $1.1 million restructuring charge for La Nacional. Higher interest expense, depreciation & amortization – much of it acquisition-related, also impacted net income. The diluted earnings per share also reflect the positive benefits of the Company's stock repurchases.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.0% to $31.7 million, driven by the business operating results discussed above along with the impact of the additional adjusting items to EBITDA shown in the reconciliation tables below.

Adjusted net income decreased 11.1% to $18.4 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.51, a decrease of 5.6%. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS were highly impacted by a $2.9 million tax benefit in the third quarter of 2022 that did not recur in the third quarter of 2023, in addition to the items noted above in net income, adjusted for certain non-cash expenses, the La Nacional restructuring charge and other charges, and tax adjustments that are detailed in the reconciliation tables below following the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Adjusted EPS also benefited from the Company's stock repurchases.

Year-to-Date Financial Results for 2023 (all comparisons are to the first nine months of 2022)
Revenues increased by 24.1% to $487.0 million. Driving that growth was a 26.9% increase in net money transfer transactions. A 55.3% increase in digital transactions initiated also contributed to this growth. Principal amount sent increased 20.5% to $18.3 billion.

Net income was $42.0 million, a decrease of 5.2%. Diluted earnings per share were $1.14, equal to the prior year period, attributable to the year-to-date effects of the same items noted above for the quarterly results.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 13.8% to $86.7 million, attributable to the same items noted above for the quarterly results and the greater net effect of the adjusting items detailed in the reconciliation table below.

Adjusted net income totaled $51.0 million, a decrease of 2.7%. Adjusted diluted earnings per share totaled $1.39, an increase of 3.0%, attributable to the same items noted above for the quarterly results.

Adjusted and other non-GAAP measures discussed above and elsewhere in this press release are defined below under the heading, Non-GAAP Measures.

Other Items
The Company ended the third quarter of 2023 with $222.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. Net Free Cash Generated was $17.6 million, down 4.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2022. Lower year-over-year free cash generated was highly impacted by the $2.9 million tax benefit in the third quarter of 2022 that did not recur in the third quarter of 2023 and by other factors impacting net income growth. The measure was also impacted by a moderate increase in capital spending associated with upgrading technology within the U.S. agent base.

The Company repurchased approximately 502,000 shares of its common stock for $10.0 million during the third quarter of 2023 under its share repurchase program.

Guidance
The Company is providing fourth-quarter guidance:

Fourth-quarter 2023:        

  • Revenue of $170.0 million to $181.0 million, up 10% to 17%.
  • Diluted EPS of $0.43 to $0.46, up 22% to 30%.
  • Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.51 to $0.54, up 6% to 12%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $31.4 million to $33.4 million, up 8% to 15%.

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 intangible assets 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 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, net income, net income margin or earnings per share 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 EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS 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. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.
