Western Union Reports Second Quarter Results

Aug. 04, 2020

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 04, 2020--The Western Union Company (NYSE: WU), a global leader in cross-border, cross-currency money movement and payments, today reported second quarter financial results, and provided an update on its business trends and digitally-focused growth strategy.

The Company's second quarter revenue of $1.1 billion declined 17%, compared to the prior year period, while adjusted constant currency revenue, which excludes the 2019 divestitures, declined 11%, primarily due to lower transaction levels resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Digital money transfer revenue grew 48% year-over-year, or 50% on a constant currency basis, to a record high of $219 million for the second quarter.

GAAP earnings per share in the second quarter was $0.39 compared to $1.42 in the prior year period that included gains from the 2019 divestitures, and adjusted earnings per share was $0.41 compared to $0.45 in the prior year period. The decline in GAAP earnings per share was primarily attributable to cycling the gain from the 2019 divestitures. The decline in adjusted earnings per share was primarily attributable to current year revenue declines associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the lost earnings from the 2019 divestitures, partially offset by productivity savings, additional cost management measures, and lower share count in the current year period.

President and CEO Hikmet Ersek said, "I'm pleased to say that during this period of profound disruption and unease, the Western Union team continued to consistently deliver essential services to customers that help support families and communities around the world. In addition, despite the challenging global environment, we continued to execute on our strategic objectives that position the company for future growth and prudently managed our business to deliver solid profit performance for the second quarter."

Ersek added, "Importantly, the significant investments we have made over the past decade to build market leading cross-border, cross-currency platform capabilities have positioned us as a premier choice for the rapidly growing number of consumers and businesses seeking cross-border digital services today. With over $600 million of consumer digital revenues in 2019 we were already one of the largest players in the market, and still our digital revenues grew nearly 50% in the second quarter with strong profitability. With scale, unique omni-channel payout capabilities, and continued investments in customer acquisition, we believe we are equipped to continue winning also in digital money transfers and payments."

CFO Raj Agrawal stated, "Second quarter results highlight the favorable financial characteristics of Western Union's business. Our variable cost structure, planned productivity savings, and operational flexibility allowed us to withstand revenue declines stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and still maintain solid margins, cash flow generation, and cash dividend payments to shareholders. We are pleased to see the strong improvement in Consumer-to-Consumer transactions in June and July and hopeful it is indicative of a sustainable recovery."

Q2 Business Unit Highlights

* Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C) revenues, which represented 88% of total Company revenue in the quarter, declined 12% on a reported basis, or 11% constant currency, while transactions declined 8%. Constant currency revenue declined across all regions, with transactions down in all regions except in Europe and CIS, reflecting the significant disruption the COVID-19 pandemic had on the global economy and remittances. Intra-quarter transaction trends included:

C2C Transaction Growth y/y April May June Q2 2020 July

Total C2C -21% -7% 6% -8% 10%

Digital money transfer 77% 99% 112% 96% 115%

Westernunion.com 39% 51% 58% 50% 61%

* Digital money transfer revenues increased 48% on a reported basis in the quarter, or 50% constant currency. Digital revenues and transactions represented 22% and 31% of the C2C business for the quarter, respectively. Within the digital money transfer business, westernunion.com revenues increased 33% on a reported basis and 34% on a constant currency basis, including cross-border revenue growth of 48%.

* Westernunion.com average monthly active customers for the second quarter increased 45% year-over-year and 33% sequentially from the first quarter, led by strong new-to-Western Union customer acquisition1. Westernunion.com was the most downloaded mobile app among peer money transfer companies during the second quarter, according to data provided by mobile app marketing firm Sensor Tower2.

* Westernunion.com service is available in over 75 countries, plus additional territories. Bank account payout is available in over 100 countries, with real-time capabilities to select bank accounts and digital wallets in over 60 countries, and retail payout in over 200 countries and territories.

* Western Union Business Solutions revenues declined 17% on a reported basis, or 15% on a constant currency basis, due to softening trends in verticals more exposed to COVID-19, including education, travel and tourism, and small and medium-sized enterprises. Business Solutions represented 7% of total Company revenue in the quarter.

* Other revenues, which represented 5% of total Company revenue in the quarter, and largely consist of retail bill payments businesses in Argentina and the U.S. and money orders, declined 56%. The decline was primarily due to the divestitures in 2019, the impact of COVID-19, and the depreciation of the Argentine peso.

Additional Q2 Financial Highlights

* GAAP operating margin in the quarter was 19.9% compared to 19.3% in the prior year period, and adjusted operating margin was 20.4% compared to 20.3% in the prior year period. In both cases margin expansion was primarily attributable to productivity savings and additional cost management measures that more than offset the impact of revenue declines associated with COVID-19 and the 2019 divestitures.

* The GAAP effective tax rate in the quarter was 16.2% compared to 17.5% in the prior year period, and the adjusted tax rate was 15.7% in the quarter compared to 16.8% in the prior year period. The decrease in the Company's GAAP effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the prior period was primarily due to an increase in prior period domestic pre-tax income due to the sales of the Speedpay and Paymap businesses, offset by increased discrete expenses in the current period.

* Cash flow from operating activities was $348 million year-to-date compared to $403 million in the prior year period. The Company did not repurchase shares during the second quarter and paid nearly $93 million in dividends.

Financial Update

* Financial position and liquidity continue to be strong: As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $1.2 billion, no borrowings outstanding on its $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, and no significant debt maturities due until 2022. The Company continues to finance working capital through the commercial paper market and had $100 million outstanding at the end of the second quarter.

* Capital allocation priorities remain unchanged: The Company's capital allocation hierarchy is investing in the business, returning cash to shareholders through the quarterly dividend, mergers and acquisitions, and share repurchases.

* Cost structure provides flexibility: Approximately 55% to 60% of total costs are variable in nature. The Company is managing its fixed costs during the crisis by delaying hiring, limiting travel, and reprioritizing investments. As presented at the September 2019 Investor Day, the Company expects to realize at least $50 million of annual cost savings in 2020 and a total of $150 million through 2022. Depending on the extent of the COVID-19 disruption, the Company will likely realize additional savings in 2020 related to shifts in timing of initiatives and investments.

* Due to the continued macro-economic uncertainty COVID-19 is causing, the Company has maintained its decision to forgo a full year 2020 financial outlook at this time.

Adjustment Items

Adjusted constant currency revenue growth metrics for 2020 exclude revenues for the Speedpay and Paymap businesses in the prior year period, each of which was divested in May 2019. Adjusted operating profit, tax rate, and earnings per share metrics for 2020 periods exclude restructuring expenses and acquisition and divestiture costs, net of related taxes, as applicable.

Adjusted constant currency revenue metrics for 2019 exclude revenues for the Speedpay and Paymap businesses. Adjusted operating profit metrics for 2019 periods exclude restructuring expenses and acquisition and divestiture costs. Adjusted tax rate and earnings per share metrics for 2019 periods exclude the impact of the net gain on the Speedpay and Paymap divestitures, restructuring expenses, and acquisition and divestiture costs. Restructuring expenses are not included in operating segment results.

Although the Company has previously incurred and can reasonably be expected to incur restructuring costs in the future, these expenses are specific to the implementation of the Global Strategy initiative and the Company has therefore provided adjusted financial results that exclude these expenses.

Additional Statistics

Additional key statistics for the quarter and historical trends can be found in the supplemental tables included with this press release.

All amounts included in the supplemental tables to this press release are rounded to the nearest tenth of a million, except as otherwise noted. As a result, the percentage changes and margins disclosed herein may not recalculate precisely using the rounded amounts provided.

Non-GAAP Measures

Western Union presents a number of non-GAAP financial measures because management believes that these metrics provide meaningful supplemental information in addition to the GAAP metrics and provide comparability and consistency to prior periods. Constant currency results assume foreign revenues are translated from foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar, net of the effect of foreign currency hedges, at rates consistent with those in the prior year.

These non-GAAP financial measures include the following: (1) consolidated revenue change constant currency adjusted and excluding Speedpay and Paymap, (2) Consumer-to-Consumer segment revenue change constant currency adjusted, (3) Consumer-to-Consumer segment region, westernunion.com, and digital money transfer revenue change constant currency adjusted, (4) Business Solutions segment revenue change constant currency adjusted, (5) operating margin, excluding, as applicable, restructuring-related expenses and acquisition and divestiture costs, (6) diluted earnings per share, excluding, as applicable, restructuring-related expenses, acquisition and divestiture costs, and gain on sales of Speedpay and Paymap and related taxes, (7) effective tax rate, excluding, as applicable, restructuring-related expenses, acquisition and divestiture costs, and gain on sales of Speedpay and Paymap and related taxes, and (8) additional measures found in the supplemental tables included with this press release.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP to comparable GAAP measures are available in the accompanying schedules and in the "Investor Relations" section of the Company's website at http://ir.westernunion.com.

See the "Notes to Key Statistics" section of the press release for the* applicable Note references and the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures, unless already reconciled herein.

In the first quarter of 2020, we changed our expense allocation method so that our corporate data center and network engineering information technology expenses are allocated based on a percentage of relative revenue. In 2019, these costs had been allocated based in part on a percentage of relative transactions. We believe that an allocation method based fully on relative revenue presents a more representative view of segment profitability, as certain of our services, particularly some of our bill payment services and our** money order services, have much lower revenues per transaction than our other services. Further, these technology expenses are becoming increasingly based on data storage utilized and less based on the number of transactions processed. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2019, and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, this change would have decreased Consumer-to-Consumer and increased Other operating income by $11.7 million, $13.0 million, $11.8 million, and $49.6 million, respectively. Business Solutions was not materially impacted by the change in the allocation method.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred $5.2 million and $15.7 million, respectively, of expenses related to our restructuring plan, the majority of which are related to consulting(a) service fees, severance, and other costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, $0.8 million and $1.7 million are included within Cost of services, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, $4.4 million and $14.0 million are included within Selling, general, and administrative, respectively.

On May 9, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its United States electronic bill payments business known as Speedpay to ACI Worldwide(b) Corp. and ACW Worldwide, Inc. for approximately $750 million in cash, resulting in a gain of approximately $523 million on the sale for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Other primarily includes the Company's cash-based and electronic-based(a) bill payment services which facilitate payments from consumers to businesses and other organizations and the Company's money order services.

On May 9, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its United States electronic bill payments business known as Speedpay to ACI Worldwide Corp. and ACW Worldwide, Inc. for approximately $750 million in cash. In addition, on May 6, 2019, the Company completed the sale of Paymap Inc. ("Paymap"), which provides electronic mortgage bill payment services, for contingent consideration and immaterial cash proceeds(b) received at closing. Both Speedpay and Paymap were included as a component of Other in the Company's segment reporting. Revenues attributed to Speedpay and Paymap included in the Company's results were $38.8 million and $130.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Operating income attributed to Speedpay and Paymap, excluding corporate allocations, was $7.7 million and $30.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Restructuring-related expenses have been excluded from the measurement(c) of segment operating income provided to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing segment performance and decision making with respect to resource allocation.

In the first quarter of 2020, we changed our expense allocation method so that our corporate data center and network engineering information technology expenses are allocated based on a percentage of relative revenue. In 2019, these costs had been allocated based in part on a percentage of relative transactions. We believe that an allocation method based fully on relative revenue presents a more representative view of segment profitability, as certain of our services, particularly(d) some of our bill payment services and our money order services, have much lower revenues per transaction than our other services. Further, these technology expenses are becoming increasingly based on data storage utilized and less based on the number of transactions processed. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, this change would have decreased Consumer-to-Consumer operating income and increased Other operating income by $11.7 million and $24.8 million, respectively. Business Solutions was not materially impacted by the change in the allocation method.

(e) Calculation not meaningful.

Western Union's management believes the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating results to assist management, investors, analysts, and others in understanding our financial results and to better analyze trends in our underlying business because they provide consistency and comparability to prior periods. We have also included non-GAAP revenues that remove the impact of Speedpay and Paymap in order to provide a more meaningful comparison of results from continuing operations.

A non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measure. A non-GAAP financial measure reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure, provide a more complete understanding of our business. Users of the financial statements are encouraged to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included below, where not previously reconciled above.

THE WESTERN UNION COMPANY

NOTES TO KEY STATISTICS

(in millions, unless indicated otherwise)

(Unaudited)

Non-GAAP related notes: Represents the impact from the fluctuation in exchange rates between all foreign currency denominated amounts and the United States dollar. Constant currency results exclude any benefit or loss caused by foreign(j) exchange fluctuations between foreign currencies and the United States dollar, net of foreign currency hedges, which would not have occurred if there had been a constant exchange rate. We believe that this measure provides management and investors with information about revenue results and trends that eliminates currency volatility while increasing the comparability of our underlying results and trends.

On May 9, 2019, we completed the sale of our United States electronic bill payments business known as "Speedpay" to ACI Worldwide Corp. and ACW Worldwide, Inc. ("ACI") for approximately $750 million in cash. In addition, on May 6, 2019, we completed the sale of Paymap Inc. ("Paymap"), which provides electronic mortgage bill payment services, for contingent consideration and immaterial cash proceeds received at closing. Both Speedpay and Paymap were included as a component of "Other" in our segment reporting. Revenue has been adjusted to exclude the carved(k) out financial information for Speedpay and Paymap and the gain on the sales and the income taxes on the gain, including the elimination of previously forecasted annual base-erosion anti-abuse taxes, has been removed from adjusted effective tax rate. These financial measures are non-GAAP measures and should not be considered a substitute for the GAAP measures. We have included this information because management believes that presenting these measures as adjusted to exclude divestitures will provide investors with a more meaningful comparison of results within the periods presented. Additionally, Speedpay and Paymap contributions to operating income exclude corporate overhead allocations.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization(l) ("EBITDA") results from taking operating income and adjusting for depreciation and amortization expenses. EBITDA results provide an additional performance measurement calculation which helps neutralize the operating income effect of assets acquired in prior periods.

Represents impact from expenses incurred in connection with an overall restructuring plan, approved by the Board of Directors on August 1, 2019, to improve our business processes and cost structure by reducing headcount and consolidating various facilities. While certain of these expenses are identifiable to our business segments, primarily to our Consumer-to-Consumer segment, they have been excluded from the measurement of segment operating income provided to the Chief Operating(m) Decision Maker for purposes of assessing segment performance and decision making with respect to resource allocation. These expenses are therefore excluded from the Company's segment operating income results. While these expenses are specific to this initiative, the types of expenses related to this initiative are similar to expenses that we have previously incurred and can reasonably be expected to incur in the future. We believe that, by excluding the effects of these charges that can impact operating trends, management and investors are provided with a measure that increases the comparability of our underlying operating results.

Represents the impact from expenses incurred in connection with our acquisition and divestiture activity, including the Speedpay and Paymap(n) divestitures. We believe that, by excluding the effects of these charges that can impact operating trends, management and investors are provided with a measure that increases the comparability of our underlying operating results.
