NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 –BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND BUSINESS
International Money Express, Inc. (the “Company” or “us” or “we”) operates as a money transmitter between the United States of America (“United States” or “U.S.”), Canada, Spain, Italy and Germany primarily to Mexico, Guatemala and other countries in Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia through a network of authorized agents located in various unaffiliated retail establishments and 118 Company-operated stores throughout those jurisdictions.
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.
On August 10, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, The Western Union Company, a Delaware corporation (“Western Union”), and Ivey Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Western Union (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and becoming a 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, such as treasury shares or shares as to which dissenters’ rights have been properly exercised in accordance with Delaware law) 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 various 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, (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.
In addition, the consummation of the Merger was conditioned upon (i) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), which waiting period 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.
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.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of International Money Express, Inc. and other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”).
NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Index
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options at the presented dates are exercised and shares of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) have vested, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share when the effect would be anti-dilutive. Treasury stock shares that have been repurchased are not considered outstanding and therefore are excluded from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding calculation.
Cash and Cash equivalents
Cash is comprised of deposits in U.S. and foreign banks and cash in hand held at our Company-operated stores. The Company recognizes interest income from its cash deposits on an accrual basis. The Company considers cash equivalents to be short term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents include cash on deposit in overnight deposit accounts.
Concentrations
The Company maintains certain of its cash balances in various U.S. banks, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company hasnot incurred any losses on these accounts. In addition, the Company maintains various bank accounts in Mexico, Guatemala, Canada, the Dominican Republic, Spain, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom, which may not be fully insured. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company hasnot incurred any losses on these uninsured foreign bank accounts; however, the Company maintains a $4.4 million reserve on the balance of deposits held as a result of the closure of a financial institution in Mexico in 2021 (see Note 6). Management believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk regarding these accounts as it performs periodic reviews of the creditworthiness of the financial institutions the Company uses. Cash and cash equivalents balances were as follows (in thousands):
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Cash and cash equivalents in U.S. dollars in U.S. banks | $152,064 | $117,295 |
| Cash and cash equivalents in foreign banks and foreign currency | 14,084 | 10,819 |
| Cash on hand | 2,534 | 2,389 |
| $168,682 | $130,503 | |
A substantial portion of our paying agents are concentrated in a few large banks and financial institutions and large retail chains. Our largest paying agent by volume accounted for approximately 22% and 25% of the Company’s total remittance volume for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily from the U.S. to Mexico.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues for wire transfer and money order fees are recognized at the time the transaction is processed. The Company acts as the principal for these transactions as the Company controls the service at all times prior to transferring the funds to the beneficiary, is primarily responsible for fulfilling the customer contracts, has the risk of loss and has the ability to establish transaction prices. Therefore, these fees are recognized on a gross basis equal to the full amount of the fee charged to the customer. These fees also vary by transaction primarily depending upon, the principal amount sent, the send and receive locations, as well as the respective currencies of the send and receive locations. Foreign exchange gain, net, which represents the difference between the exchange rate set by the Company and the rate realized, is initially recognized when the customer's wire transfer transaction is processed and the purchase of foreign currency is completed. Other income primarily represents revenues for technology services provided to the independent network of agents who 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 that is recognized when the transactions is processed. In addition, we generate revenue from our remittance-as-a-service (“RaaS”) relationships with digital partners where we receive a fee for facilitating money transfers processed through our proprietary software systems, using our money transmitter licenses and payer network relationships, which are recognized at the time the transaction is processed. The Company acts primarily as the agent for these transactions.
Refer to Note 4 for the discussion related to revenue recognition and additional information on the Company’s revenue.
Index
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method, which requires that intangible assets be recognized apart from goodwill if they are contractual in nature or separately identifiable. Acquisitions are measured based on the fair value of consideration transferred and, if the consideration transferred is not cash, measurement is based on the fair value of the consideration transferred or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more reliably measurable. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill.
The valuation and allocation processes rely on significant assumptions made by management. In certain situations, the allocations of excess purchase price are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the allocations are subject to revision when the Company receives updated information, including valuations and other analyses, which are completed within one year of the acquisition. Revisions to the preliminary fair values, which may be significant, are recorded through goodwill until pending information is finalized, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. Any revisions to the fair values after they have been finalized will be accounted for as a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.
Consideration transferred may consist of potential future payments that are contingent upon the acquired business achieving certain levels of earnings in the future, also referred to as “contingent consideration” or “earn-out.” Earn-out liabilities are measured at their estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition. Changes in the fair value of earn-out liabilities are recorded as a component of operating income in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. Earn-out liabilities are included within accrued current and other liabilities within the consolidated balance sheet. Earn-out payments, to the extent they relate to the estimated earn-out liability as of the date of acquisition, are classified within financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Earn-out payments in excess of the acquisition date earn-out liability are classified within operating activities.
Direct costs incurred in connection with business combination transactions are expensed as incurred and are included as Transaction Costs in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable and agent advances receivable are recorded at amortized cost, reflecting the amount outstanding, net of an allowance for credit losses. Accounts receivable are recorded upon initiation of the wire transfer and are typically due to the Company within five days. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its sending agents or digital partners to make required payments.
The Company calculates its allowance for credit losses using expected credit loss rates on financial instruments based on the total estimated amount to be collected over the lifetime of the instruments. Expected credit losses for uncollectible receivable balances consider both current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions. Current conditions include pre-defined aging criteria, as well as specified events that indicate the balance due is not collectible. Reasonable and supportable forecasts used in determining the probability of future collection consider publicly available macroeconomic data and whether future credit losses are expected to differ from historical losses. Accounts receivable that are more than 90 days past due are charged off against the allowance for credit losses.
Receivable balances from sending agents and digital partners are usually due to the Company within five days from the invoice date. Any balances not collected after that time are considered past due.
The Company is not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that would require an allowance for credit losses.
Prepaid Wires, Net
Prepaid wires, net represents funds provided to certain paying agents in advance of a transaction, net of wires pending to be picked up by the beneficiary of the money transfer.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets
Prepaid expenses and other assets consist primarily of right-of-use assets (see Note 8), prepaid expenses for services, tenant allowance, agent advances receivable (see Note 6) and deferred financing costs. Fees earned on agent advances receivable are recognized on a cash basis at the advance origination date.
Wire Transfers Payable, Net
Wire transfers payable, net represent wires pending to be picked up by the beneficiary of the money transfer net of funds provided to certain paying agents in advance of a transaction.
Index
Leases
The Company is a party to leases for office space, warehouses and Company-operated store locations. The Company determines if a contract contains a lease arrangement at the inception of the contract. For leases in which the Company is the lessee, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. At commencement date, lease right-of-use (“ROUs”) assets consist of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, minus any lease incentive received, and any initial direct costs. If a lease does not provide a discount rate and the rate cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is used to determine the present value of future lease payments. Lease and variable non-lease components within the Company’s lease agreements are not accounted for separately. Certain leases contain escalation provisions and/or renewal options, which give the Company the option to extend the lease. However, due to uncertainty surrounding the likelihood of lease renewal these options are not reflected in the calculation of the ROU asset and operating lease liability for a significant portion of our leases.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at cost, or the allocated fair value in purchase accounting, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The costs of additions and betterments that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and the expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed in the period incurred as part of other selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter. At the time depreciable assets are retired or otherwise disposed, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation of such assets are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the current period. The Company capitalizes costs incurred for the development of internal use computer software, which are depreciated over five years using the straight-line method.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets result primarily from business and asset acquisition transactions. Intangible assets include primarily agent relationships, trade names, developed technology and other intangibles, all with finite lives. Other intangibles primarily relate to the acquisition of certain agent locations and non-competition agreements. Upon the acquisition, the purchase price is first allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities, including trade name and other intangibles, with any remaining purchase price recorded as goodwill.
Goodwill is not amortized; however, it is assessed for impairment at least annually, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if triggering events occur. For purposes of the annual assessment, management initially performs a qualitative assessment, which includes consideration of the economic, industry and market conditions in addition to our overall financial performance and the performance of these assets. If our qualitative assessment does not conclude that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value, we perform a quantitative analysis. In a quantitative test, the fair value of a reporting unit is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis requires us to make various assumptions, including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on our long-term projections. Assumptions used in our impairment testing are consistent with our internal forecasts and operating plans. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If not, we recognize an impairment equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the reporting unit and its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
The Company’s agent relationships, trade names and developed technology are amortized utilizing an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives of up to 15 years. Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful life of up to 10 years. The Company reviews for impairment indicators of finite-lived intangibles and other long-lived assets as described below in “Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.”
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to forecasted undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management’s estimates, depending upon the nature of the assets.
Debt Origination Costs
Index
The Company incurred debt origination costs related to the Second A&R Credit Agreement (as defined herein), consisting of a revolving credit facility, and amortizes these costs over the life of the related debt using the straight-line method. The unamortized portion of debt origination costs related to deferred up-front commitment fees paid directly to the lender related to the revolving credit facility are recorded within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of debt origination costs is included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are included in other selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs of approximately $6.4 million, $1.2 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company is subject to U.S. federal and various state income and other taxes and our foreign subsidiaries are subject to taxation by local tax authorities. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with GAAP which requires, among other things, recognition of future tax benefits measured at enacted rates attributable to deductible temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and to tax net operating loss carryforwards to the extent that realization of said benefits is more likely than not. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets to the amount which we believe we are more likely than not will be realized based on an assessment of positive and negative evidence.
The Company accounts for tax contingencies by assessing all material positions, including all significant uncertain positions, for all tax years that are open to assessment or challenge under tax statutes. Those positions that have only timing consequences are separately analyzed based on the recognition and measurement model provided in the tax guidance.
As required by the uncertain tax position guidance, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. The Company applies the uncertain tax position guidance to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open. The Company’s policy is to classify interest accrued as interest expense and penalties as other selling, general and administrative expenses.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The financial statements and transactions of the Company’s foreign operations are maintained in their functional currency, which is other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for each period. Translation adjustments, which result from the process of translating the financial statements of the Company’s foreign operations into U.S. dollars, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions amounted to approximately a loss of $0.9 million, a gain of $0.1 million and a gain of $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are included in other selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
We manage foreign currency risk through the structure of the business and an active risk management process. We currently settle with our payers in Latin America primarily by entering into foreign exchange tom and spot transactions with local and foreign currency providers (“counterparties”). There are no collateral posting requirements for these transactions.
The foreign exchange tom and spot transactions are derivatives that are carried at fair value in Prepaid expenses and other current assets or Accrued and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The foreign currency exposure on our foreign exchange tom and spot transactions is limited by the fact that all transactions are settled withintwo business days from trade date. Foreign currency fluctuations, however, may negatively affect our average exchange gain per transaction. Changes in fair value are recognized in foreign exchange gain, net on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. We do not elect hedge accounting, but rather use these derivatives for economic hedging purposes. The Company had open tom and spot foreign exchange contracts for Mexico and Guatemala with a notional amount of approximately $4.7 million and $12.7 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Unrealized gain, net on these open contracts wasnot material at December 31, 2025 and 2024. Realized gains or losses on tom and spot transactions are recorded in foreign exchange gain, net in the statements of income and comprehensive income.
Index
In addition, included in wire transfers and money orders payable, net in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there are $20.2 million and $23.0 million, respectively, of wire transfers payable denominated in foreign currencies, primarily in Mexican pesos and Guatemalan quetzales.
Also, included in prepaid wires, net in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there are $33.2 million and $29.8 million, respectively, of prepaid wires denominated in foreign currencies, primarily in Mexican pesos and Guatemalan quetzales.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and the net foreign currency translation adjustment and is presented in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its share-based compensation expense related to equity awards granted to employees, independent directors and service providers based on estimated fair values on the date of grant. We have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. The Company may use either authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares to meet share issuance requirements. See Note 14 for further discussion related to the Company’s share-based compensation plans.
The Company’s business is organized aroundone reportable segment that provides money transmittal services between the U.S., Canada and certain countries in Europe to Mexico, Guatemala and other countries in Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia through a network of authorized agents located in various unaffiliated retail establishments and 118 Company-operated stores throughout the U.S., Canada, Spain, Italy and Germany, as well as digitally through the Internet via our websites, co-branded websites with digital partners and mobile device applications. This is based on the objectives of the business and how our chief operating decision maker, the CEO and President, monitors operating performance and allocates resources.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation primarily as it relates to disclosure of the provision for credit losses as a separate item in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance, ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This guidance requires a public entity to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. In addition, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. The new standard was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2025 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have any effect on our consolidated balance sheets or statements of income and comprehensive income. The new disclosures under this ASU are described in more detail in Note 17.
The FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires more detailed disclosures about specified categories of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the statement of income. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning one year later. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.
The FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This amendment introduces a practical expedient, under which an entity may elect to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.
The FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This amendment simplifies the software capitalization guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. ASU 2025-06 is effective
Index
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update permit an entity to apply the new guidance using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 –ACQUISITIONS
On July 2, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of a money services entity incorporated in the United Kingdom. This acquisition provided the Company the opportunity to enter into the outbound remittance market from the United Kingdom.
The total consideration transferred by the Company in connection with the acquisition was approximately $1.4 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand.
The fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and goodwill in the acquisition on July 2, 2024 amounted to approximately $0.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The measurement period ended June 30, 2025 and no adjustments were recorded through that date.
The goodwill balance for this acquisition represented the estimated values of the Company’s assembled workforce and synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of the acquired entity and the Company. Goodwill resulting from this acquisition was not deductible for tax purposes.
Restructuring costs
During 2025, the Company executed a restructuring plan related to certain of its domestic and foreign operations. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred approximately $0.7 million in expenses primarily for a reduction of workforce in certain locations. These restructuring costs are part of the Company's plan, for which the objectives are to reorganize the workforce, streamline operational processes, close certain facilities and develop efficiencies within the Company. These expenses primarily consisted of severance payments and related benefits, which are included in restructuring costs in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.
The following table presents the changes in our liability balance related to restructuring costs for the year ended December 31, 2025 (in thousands):
| Year Ended December 31, 2025 | ||

During 2024, the Company executed a restructuring plan related to certain of its foreign operations and Envios de Valores La Nacional Corp. These restructuring costs were part of the Company's plan, for which the objectives were to reorganize the workforce, streamline operational processes, integrate technology functionality, as well as to develop efficiencies within the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred approximately $3.1 million in expenses for a reduction of workforce in certain locations, closing of certain facilities, discontinuing technology and disposal of obsolete assets. These expenses include approximately $2.3 million in severance payments and related benefits, $0.4 million in software and software development costs write-offs and $0.4 million in legal and professional fees, which are included in restructuring costs in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.
The following table presents the changes in our liability balance related to restructuring costs for the year ended December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Transaction Costs
Transaction costs include all internal and external costs directly related to acquisition activities and the Company's evaluation of strategic alternatives including the pending Merger with Western Union, consisting primarily of legal, consulting, accounting and financial advisory fees. Transaction costs for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 amounted to $10.5 million, $1.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
NOTE 4 –REVENUE
The Company recognized in revenues from contracts with customers, sending agents and others for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the following (in thousands):
| December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Wire transfer and money order fees | $503,995 | $557,697 | $564,337 |
| Discounts and promotions | (1,840) | (2,896) | (2,797) |
| Wire transfer and money order fees, net | 502,155 | 554,801 | 561,540 |
| Foreign exchange gain, net | 87,160 | 88,944 | 87,908 |
| Other income | 18,461 | 14,904 | 9,287 |
| Total revenues | $607,776 | $658,649 | $658,735 |
There areno significant initial costs incurred to obtain contracts with customers. Until January 31, 2025, the Company had a loyalty program under which customers earnedone point for each wire transfer completed. Points were redeemed for a discounted wire transaction fee or a foreign exchange rate that was more favorable to the customer. Because the loyalty program benefits represented a future performance obligation, a portion of the initial consideration was recorded as deferred revenue loyalty program (see Note 11) and a corresponding loyalty program entry was recorded as contra revenue. Revenue from this performance obligation was recognized upon customers redeeming points or upon expiration of any points outstanding. Effective February 1, 2025, the loyalty program was terminated. Under the termination conditions, customers were able to redeem their points by July 31, 2025. Any points not redeemed by that date expired automatically.
Except for the loyalty program discussed above, our revenues include onlyone performance obligation, which is to collect the customer’s money and make funds available for payment, generally on the same day, to a designated recipient in the currency requested.
The Company also offers several other services, including money orders, and check cashing through its sending agents and Company-operated stores, for which revenue is derived from a fee charged at the time the transaction takes place. For substantially all of the Company’s revenues, the Company acts as principal in the transactions and reports revenue on a gross basis, because the Company controls the service at all times prior to transfer to the customer, is primarily responsible for fulfilling the customer contracts, has the risk of loss and has the ability to establish transaction prices. In addition, we generate revenue from our RaaS relationships with digital partners where we receive a fee for facilitating money transfers processed through our proprietary software systems, using our money transmitter licenses and payer network relationships, which are recognized at the time the transaction is processed. The Company acts primarily as the agent for these transactions.
Wire transfers and money order fees include money order fees of $2.1 million, $2.2 million and $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

During 2021, local banking regulators in Mexico resolved to close and liquidate a local financial institution, citing a lack of compliance with minimum capital requirements. The Company has approximately $6.1 million of exposure from deposits it held with this bank when it was closed. In accordance with the banking regulations in Mexico, large depositors such as the Company will be paid once the assets of the financial institution are liquidated. Currently, it is difficult to predict the length of the liquidation process or if the proceeds from the asset liquidation will be sufficient to recover a portion or all of its funds on deposit. The Company maintains a valuation allowance of approximately $4.4 million as of December 31, 2025, in connection with the balance of deposits held by the financial institution as a result of its closure, which has not materially changed since 2022.

The fair value measurements were based on significant inputs, such as the Company’s forecasted revenues, assumed turnover of agent locations, obsolescence assumptions for technology, market discount and royalty rates. These inputs are based on information not observable in the market and represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.
Index
Management believes it has made reasonable estimates and judgments concerning these risks and uncertainties. A change in the conditions, circumstances or strategy of the Company may result in a need to recognize an impairment charge. During the fourth quarter of 2025, a foreign subsidiary ceased operations as a money transmitter and is in the process of being liquidated, which resulted in an impairment charge of goodwill related to that investment in an amount of $1.2 million. As a result of the annual impairment test, the Company determined that there was no additional impairment to goodwill as of December 31, 2025. As a result of the annual impairment test, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2024.
The following table presents the changes in goodwill and intangible assets (in thousands):

Amigo Paisano provides the Company the opportunity to enhance its digital channel offerings and strengthen its presence in Central America.
The total consideration transferred by the Company in connection with the acquisition of Amigo Paisano was $12.0 million. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. The allocation of the consideration transferred resulted in intangible assets that consisted of trade names of approximately $12.0 million, which will be amortized over an estimated useful life of 15 years.

NOTE 12 –DEBT

Until August 28, 2024, the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries as borrowers and the other guarantors from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Loan Parties”) maintained an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “A&R Credit Agreement”) with a group of banking institutions. The A&R Credit Agreement provided for a $220.0 million revolving credit facility, an $87.5 million term loan facility and an uncommitted incremental facility, which may have been utilized for additional revolving or term loans, of up to $70.0 million. The A&R Credit Agreement also provided for the issuance of letters of credit, which would reduce availability under the revolving credit facility. The proceeds of the term loan were used to refinance the existing term loan facility under the Company’s previous credit agreement, and the revolving credit facility was available for working capital, general corporate purposes and to pay fees and expenses in connection with entry into the A&R Credit Agreement.
At the election of the Company, interest on the term loan facility and revolving loans under the A&R Credit Agreement were determined by reference to the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“SOFR”) plus an index adjustment of 0.10% and an applicable margin ranging between 2.50% and 3.00% based upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the A&R Credit Agreement. Loans (other than Term Loans, as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement), were subject to interest at the base rate plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.50% and 2.00% based upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, as so calculated. The Company was also required to pay a fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility equal to 0.35% per annum.
On August 29, 2024, the Company entered into the Second A&R Credit Agreement with a group of banking institutions, which amended and restated in its entirety the A&R Credit Agreement. The Second A&R Credit Agreement provides for a new $425.0 million, multi-currency, revolving credit facility and an uncommitted incremental facility, which may be utilized for additional term and revolving loans of up to $100.0 million. The Second A&R Credit Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit, which would reduce availability under the revolving credit facility. The maturity date of the Second A&R Credit Agreement is August 29, 2029. A portion of the initial borrowings under the new revolving credit facility were used to repay in full the remaining outstanding balance of the Company’s term loan under the A&R Credit Agreement and to pay the costs associated with establishing the new revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the Second A&R Credit Agreement are available for general corporate purposes to support the Company’s growth, as well as to fund share repurchases.
Entering into the Second A&R credit agreement was accounted for as a debt modification. The unamortized portion of debt origination costs primarily related to the Second A&R Credit Agreement totaled approximately $3.6 million and $4.6 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Amortization of debt origination costs is included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and amounted to approximately $1.0 million, $1.4 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Amortization of debt origination costs for the year ended December 31, 2024 includes a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $0.3 million related to the payoff of the term loan facility to the banking institutions that ceased to participate in the credit facility.
Under the Second A&R Credit Agreement and at the election of the Company, interest on the revolving loans denominated in U.S. Dollars is determined by reference to either (i) SOFR, (ii) the daily simple SOFR or (iii) a defined “base rate,” in each case, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25% for SOFR rate loans and from 0.75% to 1.25% for base rate loans based upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, as so calculated pursuant to the terms of the Second A&R Credit Agreement. Interest on revolving loans denominated in Euros or Pounds Sterling is determined by reference to the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) or Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”), in each case, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25% based upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, as so calculated.
The revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid, and reborrowed from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Second A&R Credit Agreement. Interest is payable quarterly for base rate loans, daily simple SOFR loans, and daily simple SONIA loans, and on the expiration of the applicable interest period for term SOFR loans and EURIBOR loans. The Company also pays an annual commitment fee of up to 0.30% of the actual daily amount by which the maximum availability under the revolving credit facility exceeds the sum of the outstanding amount of revolving credit loans.
Index
The effective interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 for the revolving credit facility was 2.78%. The effective interest rates for the year ended December 31, 2024 for the term loan facility and revolving credit facility were 9.02% and 2.51%, respectively.
The Second A&R Credit Agreement also provides the Company with increased flexibility to make certain restricted payments, including the repurchase shares of its common stock, without limitation so long as the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, as of the then most recently completed four fiscal quarters, after giving pro forma effect to such restricted payments, is 2.50 to 1.00 or less. In addition, the Company may make restricted payments that do not exceed in the aggregate during any fiscal year the greater of (i) $30.3 million and (ii)25% of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement) for the then most recently completed four fiscal quarters of the Company.
The Second A&R Credit Agreement also contains customary covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, grant liens, incur additional indebtedness, make acquisitions or investments, dispose of certain assets, issue dividends and distributions (other than to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries), change the nature of their businesses, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, or amend the terms of material indebtedness, in each case subject to certain thresholds and exceptions.
Under the Second A&R Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain a quarterly minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00:1.00 and a quarterly maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.50 with a step-up to 3.75 in the quarter during which the Company completes a material acquisition, in each case, as computed in accordance with the terms of the Second A&R Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
The obligations under the Second A&R Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company and secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Loan Parties, subject to certain exclusions and limitations.
NOTE 13 –FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company determines fair value in accordance with the provisions of FASB guidance, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value was established. There are three levels of inputs used to measure fair value and for disclosure purposes. Level 1 relates to quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 relates to observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 3 relates to unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s non-financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include goodwill and intangible assets. The determination of our intangible fair values is based on a discounted cash flows analysis that includes several assumptions and inputs to measure the economic benefit of these assets over their useful lives, such as the Company’s forecasted revenues, assumed turnover of agent locations, obsolescence assumptions for technology, market discount and royalty rates. These inputs are based on information not observable in the market and represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company's financial assets and liabilities are carried at amortized cost. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balances are representative of their fair values as these balances are comprised of deposits available on demand or overnight. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, agent advances receivable, prepaid wires, accounts payable and wire transfers and money orders payable are representative of their fair values because of the short turnover of these instruments.
The Company’s financial liabilities include its revolving credit facility. The estimated fair value of the revolving credit facility would approximate book value given the payment schedule and interest rate structure, which approximates current market interest rates.
The following tables present the fair value of the Company's financial instruments, categorized based upon the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

NOTE 14 –SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
International Money Express, Inc. Omnibus Equity Compensation Plans
The International Money Express, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan, as amended (the “2020 Plan”) provided for the granting of stock-based incentive awards, including stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) to employees, certain service providers and independent directors of the Company. There were 3.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock approved for issuance under the 2020 Plan, which included 0.4 million shares that were previously subject to awards granted under the International Money Express, Inc. 2018 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2018 Plan”). Although awards remain outstanding under the 2018 Plan, which was terminated effective June 26, 2020, no additional awards were granted under the 2018 Plan.
On June 20, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved the Amended and Restated International Money Express, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “A&R 2020 Plan” and together with the 2018 Plan, the “Plans”), which amends and restates the 2020 Plan. The A&R 2020 Plan increased the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2020 Plan by an additional 2.5 million shares. As of December 31, 2025,3.4 million shares remained available for grant of future awards under the A&R 2020 Plan.
Stock Options
The value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (“BSM”). The option pricing model requires the input of certain assumptions, including the grant date fair value of our common stock, expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, expected term and expected dividend yield. To determine the grant date fair value of the Company’s common stock, we use the closing market price of our common stock at the grant date. We also use an expected volatility based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and the “simplified” method for calculating the expected life of our stock options as the options are “plain
Index
vanilla” and we do not have any significant historical post-vesting activity. We have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. The risk-free interest rates are obtained from publicly available U.S. Treasury yield curve rates.
Share-based compensation is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The stock options issued under the Plans have 10-year terms and generally vest infour equal annual installments beginningone year after the date of the grant. The Company recognized compensation expense for stock options of approximately $0.1 million, and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (none for the year ended December 31, 2025), respectively, which is included in salaries and benefits in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2025, there isno unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options.

Performance Stock Units
PSUs granted under the A&R 2020 Plan to the Company’s employees generally vest subject to attainment of performance criteria during the service period established by the Compensation Committee. Each PSU represents the right to receiveone share of common stock, and the actual number of shares issuable upon vesting is determined based upon performance compared to financial performance targets. The PSUs vest based on the achievement of certain adjusted earnings per share targets for a period of up tothree years combined with a service period ofthree years. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period when it is probable that the performance condition will be satisfied. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company reassessed the probability of vesting for the PSU awards granted in 2023 and determined that it was not probable that the performance targets will be achieved. Therefore, the Company recognized an adjustment of approximately $2.1 million to reverse compensation expense on a cumulative basis in the fourth quarter of 2024 (none in 2025).
The Company recognized compensation expense for PSUs of $2.4 million, $1.6 million and $3.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is included in salaries and benefits in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

NOTE 15 –EQUITY
On August 18, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorizes the Company to purchase up to $40.0 million of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock which was increased on March 3, 2023 to an additional $100.0 million and on August 26, 2024 to an additional $63.8 million of its outstanding shares (the “Repurchase Program”). Under the Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares from time to time in accordance with applicable laws, both on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions and may include the use of derivative contracts or structured share repurchase agreements. The timing and amount of repurchases depends on several factors, including market and business conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock and the nature of other investment opportunities. The Repurchase Program may be limited, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date. The Second A&R Credit Agreement permits the Company to make restricted payments (including share repurchases, among others), (i) without limitation so long as the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement), as of the then most recently completed four fiscal quarters of the Company, after giving pro forma effect to such restricted payments, is 2.50:1.00 or less, (ii) that do not exceed, in the aggregate during any fiscal year, the greater of (x) $30.3 million and (y)25.00% of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement) for the then most recently completed four fiscal quarters of the Company and (iii) to repurchase Company common stock from current or former employees in an aggregate amount of up to $15.0 million per calendar year.
The Company accounts for purchases of treasury stock under the cost method. Any direct costs incurred to acquire treasury stock are considered stock issue costs and added to the cost of the treasury stock. Separately from the Repurchase Program, on March 12, 2025 the Company entered into an agreement with Latin-American Investment Holdings Inc., a related party, for the purchase of 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock for a total purchase price of $1.3 million, in a privately-negotiated transaction. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, including the shares previously mentioned, the Company purchased 1,348,214 shares and 3,765,320 shares, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $16.3 million and $75.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, there was $48.3 million available for future share repurchases under the Repurchase Program.
Effective in June 2025, the Company suspended activity under the Repurchase Program and does not intend to make further repurchases under it during the pendency of the Merger Agreement.
NOTE 16 –EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In computing dilutive earnings per share, basic earnings per share is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all applicable potentially dilutive share-based awards, including common stock options, RSUs, RSAs and PSUs. Shares of treasury stock are not considered outstanding and therefore are excluded from the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding calculation.
Below are basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated (in thousands, except for share data):
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |

| Earnings per common share - diluted | $1.08 | $1.79 | $1.63 |
As of December 31, 2025, there were 30.0 thousand stock options,206.3 thousand RSUs and 159.5 thousand RSAs excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because, under the treasury stock method, the inclusion of these would be anti-dilutive.
As of December 31, 2024, there were 241.1 thousand RSUs and 113.0 thousand RSAs excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because, under the treasury stock method, the inclusion of these would be anti-dilutive.
Index
As of December 31, 2023, there were 144.2 thousand RSUs,58.4 thousand RSAs, and 136.9 thousand PSUs excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because, under the treasury stock method, the inclusion of these would be anti-dilutive.
As discussed in Note 15, during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company purchased 1,348,214 shares and 3,765,320 shares, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $16.3 million and $75.1 million, respectively. The effect of these repurchases on the Company’s weighted average shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was a reduction of 916,155 and 1,775,956 shares, respectively, due to the timing of the repurchases.

lower than the U.S. statutory rate. The Company is also subject to tax in various U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. Changes in the annual allocation and apportionment of the Company’s activity amongst these jurisdictions results in changes to the blended tax rate utilized to measure the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The following table outlines the principal components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities (in thousands):
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|

| Net deferred tax liability | $(5,372) | $(250) |
At December 31, 2025, the Company had pre-tax federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10.8 million, $5.5 million and $37.7 million, respectively, which are available to reduce future taxable income. With certain exceptions, these net operating loss carryforwards will expire from 2031 through 2037 for federal losses, from 2029 through 2038 for state losses, and from 2038 through 2045 for foreign losses. In addition, $32.3 million of the foreign net operating loss carryforwards in our European jurisdictions carryforward indefinitely. Utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards is subject to an annual limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset for only the portion of its net operating loss carryforward that it expects to realize before expiration.
With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years prior to 2022. However, the Company has certain net operating loss carryforwards from tax years 2010 through 2017 that are subject to examination. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company didnot have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties or recorded for uncertain tax positions.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, after consideration of all evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined thatno valuation allowance is required on the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets. However, a valuation allowance of $8.0 million and $6.5 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, has been recorded on deferred tax assets associated with foreign net operating loss carryforwards. The valuation allowance increased by $1.5 million and $0.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
