Company delivers ~10% EPS growth in 2024

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

MIAMI, Feb. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — International Money Express, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMXI) (“Intermex” or the “Company”), one of the nation’s leading omnichannel money transfer services to Latin America and the Caribbean, today reported operating results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2024.

Financial performance highlights for the full-year:

• Revenues of $658.6 million
• Net income of $58.8 million
• Diluted EPS of $1.79 per share
• Adjusted Diluted EPS of $2.14 per share
• Adjusted EBITDA of $121.3 million

Financial performance highlights for the fourth quarter of 2024:

• Revenues of $164.8 million
• Net income of $15.4 million
• Diluted EPS of $0.49 per share
• Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.57 per share
• Adjusted EBITDA of $30.9 million

Bob Lisy, Chairman, President, and CEO of Intermex, stated “We have delivered another year of strong EPS growth and continued providing solid operating results for our shareholders. As a highly efficient provider of the premium product at retail, we are now turning our attention to invest and expand our high margin digital business. We continue to be a highly profitable operator, and a strong generator of cash. At this afternoon’s Investor Day, we look forward to sharing our 2025 plan which will scale our digital business while continuing to leverage the strength of the underlying retail model we have built.”

The Company also reported that, consistent with the recommendation of its independent Strategic Alternatives Committee (“SAC”), the Board of Directors (“Board”) has unanimously determined to suspend the Company’s previously announced assessment of strategic alternatives.

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, Lazard Freres, the Company’s financial advisor, FT Partners, 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 strategic 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 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 Intermex’s current business model and its strategic plan, which includes a significant investment to increase the revenue from the Company’s digital services.

Accordingly, after considering views of Company stockholders, significant internal discussion and consultation with external financial and legal advisors, and the recommendation of the SAC, the Board concluded that the best interests of all stockholders are served by continuing to focus on the execution of the Company’s strategic plan, including opportunities to drive growth and enhance value as an independent public company.   As such, the Board has suspended the review process. The Intermex’s Board and management team are committed to maximizing stockholder value and remain open to all opportunities to achieve this objective.

Mr. Lisy commented, “Since becoming a public company, we have built Intermex into one of the nation’s leading omnichannel money transfer services to Latin America and expanded our reach to additional markets while consistently generating strong and recurring bottom line results and free cash generated.   We are committed to building upon that foundation of success, which has been driven by our retail service offerings, by applying our cash resources and liquidity to invest in the expansion of our digital services and products that offer the potential for increased revenue and wider margins.   In addition, we have ample financial resources and flexibility to provide liquidity to our stockholders through share repurchases under our previously authorized share repurchase program.

Our 2025 guidance reflects a large and aggressive investment on digital customer capture, along with additional staff and marketing to bolster our profitable, cash-generating retail engine. We will discuss how these – and the political and macro backdrop – impact our outlook at our Investor Day later this afternoon.”

Financial Results for full-year 2024 (all comparisons are to the full-year 2023)
Revenues remained relatively flat at $658.6 million, primarily due to slowing of the overall remittance market growth to Latin America, partially offset by our continued growth of our agent base and of our digital offering. Total principal sent from remittance activity decreased slightly by approximately 0.8% to $24.4 billion. Foreign exchange gains increased by 1.1% primarily due to improved foreign currency spreads.

The Company reported net income of $58.8 million, a decrease of 1.2%. Diluted earnings per share were $1.79, an increase of 9.8%. The decrease in net income was driven primarily by the items noted above for revenues, partly offset by lower services charges from agents and banks. Lower salaries and benefits and income tax provision also positively impacted net income. The Company also incurred $1.8 million in transaction costs for the full year, primarily legal and professional fees incurred in relation to the evaluation of strategic alternatives. Diluted earnings per share was positively impacted by the reduction in share count from the Company’s stock repurchases.

Adjusted net income totaled $70.4 million, a decrease of 0.8%. Adjusted diluted earnings per share totaled $2.14, an increase of 9.7%. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share were impacted by the items noted above, adjusted for certain items detailed in the reconciliation tables below. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was positively impacted by the reduction in share count from the Company’s stock repurchases.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 1.1% to $121.3 million, attributable to the higher net effect of the adjusting items detailed in the reconciliation tables below following the consolidated financial statements.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results (all comparisons are to the Fourth Quarter 2023)
Total revenues for the Company were $164.8 million, down 4.1% versus last year due to slowing of the overall remittance market growth to Latin America – especially in retail. Revenue was positively impacted by 48.3% growth in revenues for digitally-sent money transfers. The Company’s user base generated 14.8 million money transfer transactions, down 3.2% from last year. The total principal amount transferred for the period was $6.1 billion, down 1.6%.

Net income was $15.4 million, a decrease of 12.1%. Diluted earnings per share was $0.49, the same as in the prior year. The decrease in net income was driven primarily by the items noted above for revenues, partly offset by the same items noted above for the full year. The Company also incurred $1.7 million in transaction costs in the fourth quarter alone, primarily legal and professional fees incurred in relation to the evaluation of strategic alternatives. Diluted earnings per share was positively impacted by the reduction in share count from the Company’s stock repurchases.

Adjusted net income decreased 10.6% to $17.8 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.57, an increase of 1.8%. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share were impacted by the items noted above, adjusted for certain items detailed in the reconciliation tables below. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was positively impacted by the reduction in share count from the Company’s stock repurchases.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 7.2% to $30.9 million, driven primarily by business operating results discussed above.

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

Other Items
The Company ended the fourth quarter of 2024 with $130.5 million in cash and cash equivalents. Net free cash generated for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $4.5 million, down from the fourth quarter of 2023, mainly due to the acquisition of the Amigo Paisano brands (“Amigo Paisano”) for $12.0 million and the $1.7 million in transaction costs incurred in the fourth quarter. The decrease in year-over-year net free cash generated reflects the fourth quarter factors mentioned above, the impact of assets placed into service as a result of the Company’s move to its new U.S. headquarters facility, and the impact of costs incurred in relation to business restructuring of the Company’s acquisitions.

The Company repurchased 1,025,821 shares of its common stock for $20.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2024 through its share repurchase program and $63.2 million remains currently available for future share repurchases under the share repurchase program. During the full-year 2024, the Company purchased 3,765,320 shares for $75.1 million, which repurchases are expected to resume in the current quarter.

In the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred restructuring costs of approximately $3.1 million. The charges were primarily related to the Company’s foreign operations and constituted reorganizing the workforce, streamlining operational processes, and integrating technology.

Guidance
The Company provides the following full-year and first quarter guidance:

Full-year 2025:

• Revenue of $657.5 million to $677.5 million
• Diluted EPS of $1.76 to $1.91
• Adjusted Diluted EPS of $2.09 to $2.26
• Adjusted EBITDA of $113.8 million to $117.3 million

First quarter 2025:

• Revenue of $145.5 million to $149.9 million
• Diluted EPS of $0.32 to $0.34
• Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.40 to $0.43
• Adjusted EBITDA of $23.3 million to $24.0 million

The above guidance does not reflect an estimate of transaction costs related to the now suspended process to review strategic alternatives.

Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Net Free Cash Generated, each a Non-GAAP financial measure, are the primary metrics used by management to evaluate the financial performance of our business. We present these Non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they are frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Furthermore, we believe they are helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results, because certain of such measures exclude, among other things, the effects of certain transactions that are outside the control of management, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as Net Income adjusted to add back certain charges and expenses, such as non-cash amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition transactions, non-cash compensation costs, and other items outlined in the reconciliation table below, as these charges and expenses are not considered a part of our core business operations and are not an indicator of ongoing future Company performance.

Adjusted Earnings per Share – Basic and Diluted is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by GAAP weighted-average common shares outstanding (basic and diluted).

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net Income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes, and adjusted to add back certain charges and expenses, such as non-cash compensation costs and other items outlined in the reconciliation table below, as these charges and expenses are not considered a part of our core business operations and are not an indicator of ongoing future Company performance.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by Revenues.

Net Free Cash Generated is defined as Net Income before provision for credit losses and depreciation and amortization adjusted to add back certain non-cash charges and expenses, such as non-cash compensation costs, and reduced by cash used in investing activities and servicing of our debt obligations.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Net Free Cash Generated are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income, net income margin or earnings per share, as a measure of operating performance or cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily calculated the same way by different companies and should not be considered a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP.

Reconciliations of Net Income, the Company’s closest GAAP measure, to Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Free Cash Generated, as well as a reconciliation of Earnings per Share (Basic and Diluted) to Adjusted Earnings per Share (Basic and Diluted) and Net Income Margin to Adjusted EBITDA Margin, are outlined in the tables below following the consolidated financial statements. A quantitative reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS to the most comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the amounts necessary under GAAP guidance for operating or other adjusted items including, without limitation, costs and expenses related to acquisitions and other transactions, share-based compensation, tax effects of certain adjustments and losses related to legal contingencies or disposal of assets. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.
