Current report

On August 10, 2025, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement by and among the Company, Western Union and Merger Sub, pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company and the Company will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Western Union. The Merger Agreement provides that each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (subject to limited exceptions) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $16.00 per share in cash, without interest. Consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain remaining customary closing conditions, including: (i) the absence of any judgment by any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or any applicable law that enjoins, restrains or otherwise makes illegal, prevents or prohibits consummation of the Merger (“Restraint”), (ii) the receipt of applicable consents, approvals or other clearances required to be obtained under the Merger Agreement, including with respect to the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ money transmitter licenses, and (iii) other customary closing conditions.

Current report

In addition, the consummation of the Merger was conditioned upon (i) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, which waiting period under expired on October 6, 2025, and (ii) approval of the stockholders of the Company, which approval was received at a special meeting of stockholders of the Company on December 9, 2025.

Current report

To date, money transmission regulators in 48 applicable U.S. states and territories have provided their approval of or non-objection to the Merger, and approval or non-objection is currently pending with the remaining 4 U.S. states and territories. Additionally, the parties have received approval from the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority and, therefore, the only approval from international money transmission regulators that remains pending is from the Bank of Spain. The Company cannot predict with certainty whether and when any of the remaining required closing conditions will be satisfied or if the Merger will close, but currently anticipates that the Merger will be consummated in the second quarter of 2026.

Current report

The Merger Agreement contains termination rights for the Company and Western Union, including a right for either party to terminate if the Merger is not consummated by May 11, 2026 (subject to certain automatic extensions to obtain certain regulatory approvals as set forth in the Merger Agreement). Upon termination of the Merger Agreement, (i) Western Union, upon termination of the Merger Agreement by the Company or Western Union due to a Restraint relating to any antitrust laws, or the failure to obtain necessary consents, approvals or clearances related to antitrust laws, will be required to pay the Company a termination fee equal to $27.3 million, and (ii) the Company, under specified circumstances, including termination of the Merger Agreement by (a) the Company to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement that provides for a Superior Proposal (each, as defined in the Merger Agreement) prior to receipt of approval of the stockholders of the Company or (b) by Western Union as a result of an Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Merger Agreement), will be required to pay Western Union a termination fee equal to $19.8 million.

Previous report

Effective July 2, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of a money services entity incorporated in the United Kingdom. See Note 3 in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for additional information regarding the acquisition. This acquisition provides the Company the opportunity to enter into markets in which it did not have a presence previously, such as the ability to provide outbound remittance services from the United Kingdom.

Previous report

Effective December 4, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of the Amigo Paisano brands. See Note 9 in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for additional information regarding the acquisition. This acquisition provides the Company the opportunity to enhance digital channel offerings, strengthen our presence in the United States to Guatemala corridor and increase the profitability of our digital products.

Previous report

On November 8, 2024, the Company announced that the Board had initiated a process to assess strategic alternatives as part of our commitment to maximize stockholder value, which could include, among others, a potential sale in a private transaction. On February 26, 2025, the Company announced that with the approval and recommendation of the SAC, the Board unanimously determined to suspend the Company’s previously announced assessment of strategic alternatives.

Previous report

The Board conducted the review of strategic alternatives through the SAC, composed solely of independent members of the Board. The SAC, along with its independent financial advisor, the Company’s financial advisor and the assistance of its independent legal counsel, evaluated a comprehensive range of strategic alternatives to maximize stockholder value and held discussions with a wide array of strategics and financial investors since the process was announced in November of 2024 regarding potential alternatives, including a sale or merger of the Company and other transactions. The robust strategic review process did not, however, result in a definitive offer at a price that offered a superior alternative to the long-term stockholder value potentially created by the Company’s current business model and its strategic plan, which includes a significant investment to increase revenue from the Company's digital services, as more fully discussed in Item 1, Business.

Previous report

revenues from our digital channels for the year ended December 31, 2024 amounted to approximately $20.6 million, which represents a 58.5% increase as compared to 2023.

Previous report

Salaries and benefits— Salaries and benefits were $68.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 2.8%, from $70.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease is primarily due to cost savings related to our restructuring plan, a reduction in share-based compensation, mostly due to a $2.1 million reversal of cumulative costs related to PSUs for which the performance target was assessed as not probable to be achieved, as well as a decrease in incentive bonus expense due to lower than expected performance in relation to Adjusted EBITDA targets.

Previous report

•$1.1 million - decrease in facilities related expenses during the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily related to savings from facility closures as a result of the restructuring of La Nacional during the third quarter of 2023;

Previous report

•$0.3 million - related to litigation settlements incurred during 2023.

Previous report

Restructuring costs —Restructuring costs of $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 included $2.3 million in severance costs, $0.4 million in fixed assets impairment, and $0.4 million in legal and professional fees primarily related to the restructuring of La Nacional and our foreign operations. Restructuring costs of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 included $0.9 million in severance payments and related benefits, $0.3 million in computer equipment write-offs, $38.0 thousand for the early termination of a lease agreement and $31.0 thousand in legal fees related to the restructuring of La Nacional.

Previous report

Interest expense— Interest expense was $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $1.3 million, or 12.5%, from $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher market interest rates during the first half of 2024, partially offset by lower rates under our Second A&R Credit Facility during the second half of 2024, as well as higher and more frequent draws under our revolving credit facility to fund our working capital needs during the year ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.3 million associated with the payoff of our term loan facility as a result of entering into the Second A&R Credit Agreement on August 29, 2024.

Previous wording

Money remittance services to LAC countries, mainly Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and the Dominican Republic, are the primary source of our revenue. These services involve the movement of funds on behalf of an originating consumer for receipt by a designated beneficiary at a designated receiving location. Our remittances to LAC countries are primarily generated in the United States by consumers with roots in Latin American and Caribbean countries, many of whom do not have an existing relationship with a traditional full-service financial institution capable of providing the services we offer. We provide these consumers with flexibility and convenience to help them meet their financial needs. We believe many consumers who use our services may have access to traditional banking services, but prefer to use our services based on reliability, convenience and value. We generate money remittance revenue from fees paid by consumers (i.e., the senders of funds), which we share with our sending agents in the originating country and our paying agents in the destination country. Remittances paid in local currencies that are not pegged to the U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, Euro or British pound can also generate revenue if we are successful in our daily management of currency exchange spreads. We also generate revenue from our “wire as a service” relationships with digital partners where we receive a fee for facilitating money transfers processed through our proprietary software systems, money transmitter licenses and payer network relationships.

Previous wording

Our money remittance services enable consumers to send funds through our broad network of locations in the United States, Canada, Spain, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom that are primarily operated by third-party businesses, as well as by Company-operated stores located in those jurisdictions. Transactions are processed and payment is collected by our sending agents and those funds become available for pickup by the beneficiary at the designated destination, usually within minutes, at any Intermex paying agents. We refer to our sending agents and our paying agents collectively as agents. In addition, our services are offered digitally through the Internet via our websites (intermexonline.com and online.i-transfer.es) and mobile device applications. For the year ended December 31, 2024, our agent network decreased slightly by approximately 0.2%, primarily as a result of a lower number of sending agents onboarded during the year relative to ordinary course agent terminations. For the year ended December 31, 2024, principal amount sent decreased slightly by approximately 0.8% to $24.4 billion, as compared to fiscal year 2023, primarily as a result of a lower principal amount sent per transaction. Total remittances processed were approximately 58.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing an increase of approximately 0.4%, as compared to fiscal year 2023 primarily related to increased volume generated by our digital channels and European subsidiaries.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, principal amount sent decreased by approximately 2.2% to $23.8 billion, as compared to fiscal year 2024, and total remittances processed were approximately 53.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, representing a decrease of approximately 8.5%, as compared to fiscal year 2024 primarily related to decreased volume processed that we attribute to a contraction in the remittance market, particularly the Mexico corridor coupled with a change in consumer behavior remitting a lower number of money transfers but at a higher average principal sent per transaction. This overall decrease was partially offset by increased volume generated by our digital channels and European subsidiaries.

Previous wording

During 2024, the Company executed a restructuring plan primarily related to certain of its foreign operations and La Nacional.

We have encountered and continue to expect to encounter increasing competition as new electronic platforms emerge that enable consumers to send and receive money through a variety of channels. Regardless, we continue to innovate in the industry by differentiating our money remittance business through programs to foster loyalty among agents as well as consumers and have expanded our channels through which our services are accessed to include online and mobile offerings which are experiencing higher consumer adoption. We expect to make a significant investment during 2025 and thereafter to increase our penetration of the digital market, to add digital customers, enhance our digital offerings and increase digital revenues, while maintaining and continuing to develop our retail service offerings. Although we believe that investment in our digital business should provide significant financial benefits in the mid to long term timeframes, these investments are likely, in the shorter term, to adversely affect our results of operation.

Previous wording

Political, social and economic conditions in key Latin American markets continue to exhibit instability, as evidenced by higher interest rates, high unemployment rates, increasing immigration rates, restricted lending activity, higher inflation, volatility in foreign currencies and low consumer confidence, among other economic and market factors. Our business has generally been resilient during times of economic instability as money remittances are essential to many recipients, with the funds used by the receiving parties for their daily needs; however, long-term sustained appreciation of the Mexican peso or Guatemalan quetzal as compared to the U.S. dollar could negatively affect our revenues and profitability.

Current wording

Current political, social, economic and market conditions in the United States, including recent economic, trade and immigration enforcement actions taken by the current administration in the U.S., as well as in foreign countries, including those that are destinations for money transfers or in which we currently operate, remain volatile. There is uncertainty as to the economic and financial impact of such conditions. Our business has generally been resilient during times of economic instability as money remittances are essential to many recipients, with the funds used by the receiving parties for their daily needs; however, continued enhanced immigration enforcement activities in the U.S. or long-term sustained appreciation of the Mexican peso or Guatemalan quetzal as compared to the U.S. dollar could negatively affect our revenues and profitability. Moreover, as noted above, we have experienced a reduction in revenues generated that we primarily attribute to changes in consumer behavior, which may reflect this increased volatility.

Transaction volume is the primary generator of revenue in our business. Revenue on transactions is derived primarily from transaction fees paid by consumers to transfer money. Revenues per transaction vary based upon send and receive locations and the amount sent. In certain transactions involving different send and receive currencies, we generate foreign exchange gains based on the difference between the set exchange rate charged by us to the sender and the rate available to us in the wholesale foreign exchange market. Also, we generate revenues from technology services provided to the independent network of agents that utilize the Company’s technology in processing transactions paid by credit or debit card, check cashing services and maintenance fees, for which revenue is derived by a fee per transaction. In addition, we generate revenue from our “wire as a service” contracts with digital partners under which we receive fees for facilitating money transfers processed through our proprietary software systems, using our money transmitter licenses and payer network relationships.

Service charges primarily consist of sending and paying agent commissions and bank fees. Service charges vary based on agent commission percentages and the amount of fees charged by the banks. Sending agents earn a commission on each transaction they process of approximately 50% of the transaction fee. Service charges also include transaction processing costs incurred in facilitating money transfers processed through our digital channels. Service charges may increase if banks, processors and payer organizations increase their fee structure or sending agents use higher fee methods to remit funds to us. Service charges also vary based on the method the consumer selects to send the transfer and the payer organization that facilitates the transaction.
