MoneyGram International Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Financial Results

DALLAS, Feb. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- MoneyGram International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MGI) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2019.

Fourth Quarter Business Update

    --  MoneyGram's business transformation continued to accelerate,
        demonstrated by the success of MoneyGram's direct-to-consumer digital
        business in addition to continued better-than-expected expense
        reductions as a result of modernizing and digitizing global operations.
    --  MoneyGram Online achieved 39% year-over-year transaction growth in the
        fourth quarter, led by strong international performance, with
        transaction and revenue growth of 113% and 53%, respectively.
    --  International markets, which represent 62% of total money transfer
        revenue, strengthened both sequentially and year-over-year, posting 7%
        transaction growth and 3% revenue growth from the same quarter in 2018.
    --  MoneyGram continued to launch innovative solutions to improve the
        customer experience and to lead the evolution of digital P2P payments.
        Exciting recent launches include the innovative FastSend(TM) service
        enabling customers to send money directly to a phone number.
        Additionally, MoneyGram continued to expand its strategic partnership
        with Ripple as the first money transfer company to scale the use of
        blockchain capabilities.

Commenting on the progress made in 2019, Alex Holmes, Chairman and CEO noted, "This was a pivotal year for us as we continued to execute our digital transformation and deliver a differentiated experience to our customers. Throughout the year we launched innovative product solutions, invested in new technology, renewed key partner relationships, led the industry in consumer protection and re-established our competitive position in the market. The combination of our efforts is resonating with consumers around the world. Our direct-to-consumer digital business achieved strong growth rates and international markets continued to outperform, which enabled us to return to transaction growth in the month of December. Importantly, we also delivered record online digital transaction growth during the 2019 holiday season and reported Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter that exceeded our expectations."

Fourth Quarter 2019 Financial Results

    --  Revenue was $323.7 million, a decline of 6% from the fourth quarter
        2018. Revenue excludes $8.9 million of benefit from Ripple, which will
        be accounted for as a contra expense rather than revenue based on a
        recent consultation with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
        --  At the time the Company issued fourth quarter guidance, it assumed
            Ripple market development fees would be accounted for as revenue,
            consistent with the third quarter treatment. As a result of the
            change, the Ripple financial benefit of $8.9 million in the fourth
            quarter and $2.4 million in the third quarter is now accounted for
            as offset to operating expenses, in Transaction and Operations
            Support and is no longer included in revenue.
        --  Global Funds Transfer segment revenue was $299.7 million, down 6%
            from the fourth quarter of the prior year. Within the segment, money
            transfer revenue was $285.9 million, a decline of 6%, and bill
            payment revenue was $13.8 million.
        --  Investment revenue was $12.4 million, a decline of $1.6 million from
            the fourth quarter in 2018.
    --  Total operating expenses were $311.0 million, an improvement of $21.1
        million over the fourth quarter of 2018. This is an improvement of 6%
        from 2018's fourth quarter.
    --  Net loss was $11.9 million compared with $12.5 million for the fourth
        quarter of 2018.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA was $57.6 million compared with $60.0 million in the
        previous year's fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 17.8%
        from 17.4% in the fourth quarter of 2018.
    --  Diluted loss per share was $0.16 and adjusted diluted income per share
        was $0.01.
    --  Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $19.8 million.

Full Year 2019 Financial Results

    --  Total revenue of $1,285.1 million declined 11% on a reported basis and
        10% on a constant currency basis compared to 2018. Revenue excludes
        $11.3 million of Ripple benefit, which is now recorded as a contra
        expense.
        --  Global Funds Transfer segment revenue was $1,183.3 million. The
            segment revenue is comprised of money transfer revenue of $1,123.9
            million and bill pay revenue of $59.4 million.
    --  Total operating expenses were $1,233.1 million for the full year, which
        includes $11.3 million benefit from Ripple.
    --  Net loss was $60.3 million compared with $24.0 million in 2018. The
        year-over-year change was primarily due to a $31.3 million non-cash
        pension settlement charge related to the sale of the pension
        liabilities, a $2.4 million of debt extinguishment costs, as well as a
        $30.0 million merger termination payment received in 2018.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA was $213.7 million, a 13% decrease on a reported basis
        and an 11% decrease on a constant currency basis compared to 2018. The
        decrease is primarily related to the decrease in revenue.
    --  For the year, diluted loss per share was $0.85 and adjusted diluted
        income per share was $0.03.
    --  Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $62.4 million. The $38.6 million decrease
        from 2018 is composed of lower Adjusted EBITDA and higher cash payments
        for interest.

Balance Sheet Highlights and Capital Structure Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2019 totaled $146.8 million compared to $145.5 million at the end of 2018. Fourth quarter and full year interest expense was $24.3 million and $77.0 million, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2019 were $54.5 million.

First Quarter 2020 Outlook

For the first quarter 2020, the Company anticipates total revenue of approximately $300 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $50 million, both on a constant currency basis.

"We have invested proactively during the past several years to re-position MoneyGram as a modern, mobile, API-driven organization that is leading the evolution of digital P2P payments. While we begin 2020 with challenges in our US-outbound and US domestic walk-in businesses, we have a significant pipeline of agent renewals and new signings along with innovative digital products and growth opportunities that have the potential to offset these challenges and improve our financial performance," said Holmes. "We will continue to focus on growing our customer base, while implementing market-specific strategies that set us uniquely apart from the competition. We are excited about the underlying strength in our business and the momentum created by the transformation of our business."

Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond MoneyGram's control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: our ability to compete effectively; our ability to maintain key agent or biller relationships, or a reduction in business or transaction volume from these relationships, including our largest agent, Walmart, whether through the introduction by Walmart of additional competing "white label" branded money transfer products or otherwise; our ability to manage fraud risks from consumers or agents; the ability of us and our agents to comply with U.S. and international laws and regulations; litigation or investigations involving us or our agents; uncertainties relating to compliance with the DPA entered into with the U.S. federal government and the effect of the DPA on our reputation and business; regulations addressing consumer privacy, data use and security; our ability to successfully develop and timely introduce new and enhanced products and services and our investments in new products, services or infrastructure changes; our ability to manage risks associated with our international sales and operations; our offering of money transfer services through agents in regions that are politically volatile; changes in tax laws or an unfavorable outcome with respect to the audit of our tax returns or tax positions, or a failure by us to establish adequate reserves for tax events; our substantial debt service obligations, significant debt covenant requirements and credit ratings; major bank failure or sustained financial market illiquidity, or illiquidity at our clearing, cash management and custodial financial institutions; the ability of us and our agents to maintain adequate banking relationships; a security or privacy breach in systems, networks or databases on which we rely; disruptions to our computer network systems and data centers; weakness in economic conditions, in both the U.S. and global markets; a significant change, material slow down or complete disruption of international migration patterns; the financial health of certain European countries or the secession of a country from the European Union; our ability to manage credit risks from our agents and official check financial institution customers; our ability to adequately protect our brand and intellectual property rights and to avoid infringing on the rights of others; our ability to attract and retain key employees; our ability to manage risks related to the operation of retail locations and the acquisition or start-up of businesses; any restructuring actions and cost reduction initiatives that we undertake may not deliver the expected results and these actions may adversely affect our business; our ability to maintain effective internal controls; our capital structure; and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of MoneyGram's public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including MoneyGram's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and MoneyGram's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements is contained from time to time in MoneyGram's SEC filings. MoneyGram's SEC filings may be obtained by contacting MoneyGram, through MoneyGram's web site at ir.moneygram.com or through the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval System ("EDGAR") at http://www.sec.gov. MoneyGram undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.

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 non-U.S. dollars are translated to the U.S. dollar at rates consistent with those in the prior year), adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted net income. In addition, we present adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin 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, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted net income 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.
