MoneyGram International Reports Second Quarter 2022 Results

Digital revenue reached an all-time high of $92 million reaching 44% of money transfer transactions at the end of the second quarter

Digital transactions increased 36% over the prior year

DALLAS, TX (August 5, 2022) -- MoneyGram International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MGI) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Second Quarter 2022 Business Highlights

"Against the backdrop of an increasingly uncertain macro-economic environment, we delivered 5% year-over-year revenue growth in the second quarter on a constant currency basis. Results for the quarter were driven by record digital revenue, partially offset by continued softness in the walk-in retail business in certain markets," said Alex Holmes MoneyGram Chairman and CEO. "As we look ahead to the second half of the year, we anticipate consumers globally will face challenges as the impact of rising inflation places more pressure on their disposable incomes. However, our services also rise in importance during challenging times. We remain confident in the dedication and loyalty of our customers to their families abroad, as we look to further support them by investing in our digital platforms and customer experience initiatives."

Money Transfer highlights for the quarter include the following:
•Total Money Transfer revenue was $302.5 million, a 0.8% (80 basis points) decrease on a reported basis as the dollar strengthened against virtually all major currencies. Money Transfer revenue increased 4% on a constant currency basis

Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), this news release and related tables include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including a presentation of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including agent signing bonus amortization), Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA adjusted for certain significant items), Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest, cash taxes and cash payments for capital expenditures and agent signing bonuses), constant currency measures (which assume that amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the U.S. dollar at rates consistent with those in the prior year), diluted adjusted income (loss) per share and adjusted net income. In addition, we present gross profit for our two reporting segments. The following tables include a full reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the related GAAP financial measures. The equivalent GAAP financial measures for projected results are not provided, and projected results do not reflect the potential impact of certain non-GAAP adjustments, which include (but in future periods, may not be limited to) stock-based, contingent and incentive compensation costs; compliance enhancement program costs; direct monitor costs; legal and contingent matter costs; restructuring and reorganization costs; currency changes; and the tax effect of such items. We cannot reliably predict or estimate if and when these types of costs, adjustments or changes may occur or their impact to our financial statements. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the equivalent GAAP financial measures for projected results is not available.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they are an indicator of the strength and performance of ongoing business operations. These calculations are commonly used as a basis for investors, analysts and other interested parties to evaluate and compare the operating performance and value of companies within our industry. Finally, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, constant currency, diluted adjusted income (loss) per share and adjusted net income (loss) figures are financial and performance measures used by management in reviewing results of operations, forecasting, allocating resources or establishing employee incentive programs. Although MoneyGram believes the above non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors' understanding of its business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the accompanying GAAP financial measures.
