Q1 GAAP revenue of $1.05 billion, up 1% on a reported basis, or up 3% on an adjusted basis
Q1 GAAP EPS of $0.41, up 3% or adjusted EPS of $0.45, up 5%
Consumer Money Transfer transactions grew 6% in Q1 led by 13% growth in Branded Digital transactions
Branded Digital revenue grew 9% on reported and adjusted basis
Raised 2024 full year guidance for revenue and EPS

The Western Union Company (the "Company" or "Western Union") (NYSE:WU) today reported first quarter 2024 financial results.

The Company's first-quarter revenue of $1.05 billion improved 1% on a reported basis or grew 3% on a constant currency basis, net of Argentina inflation compared to the prior year period, and excluding last year's contribution from Business Solutions.

"This year is off to a positive start with high-single digit revenue growth in our Branded Digital business," said Devin McGranahan, President and Chief Executive Officer, Western Union. "The acceleration of our digital business was a big driver of the strong performance in our Consumer Money Transfer business and positions us well for the remainder of the year. We also continue to make progress in stabilizing our retail business, with the second consecutive quarter of positive retail transactions trends."

GAAP EPS in the first quarter was $0.41 compared to $0.40 in the prior year period. Adjusted EPS in the first quarter was $0.45 compared to $0.43 in the prior year period. GAAP and adjusted EPS in the current period benefited from a lower share count.

Q1 Business Results

The Company's Consumer Money Transfer (CMT) segment revenue increased 3% on a reported and adjusted basis, while transactions increased 6% compared to the prior year period. Regionally, revenue increased in MEASA, LACA, and North America. This growth was partially offset by softness in Europe & CIS and APAC.

Branded Digital revenue increased 9% on a reported and adjusted basis with transaction growth of 13%. The Branded Digital business represented 23% and 31% of total CMT revenues and transactions, respectively.

Consumer Services segment revenue grew 5% on a reported basis and 8% on an adjusted basis, benefiting from the strength of our Retail Money Order business as well as new services we are continuing to introduce to our customers.

Q1 Financial Results

GAAP operating margin in the quarter was 18.3%, compared to 19.7% in the prior year period, and was impacted by higher operating expense redeployment costs. The adjusted operating margin was 19.7% compared to 20.5% in the prior year period. GAAP and adjusted operating margins decreased mainly due to timing of marketing spend.

The GAAP effective tax rate in the quarter was 16.0%, compared to 16.1% in the prior year period. The adjusted effective tax rate was 15.6% in the quarter, compared to 13.5% in the prior year period, with the increase primarily due to the effects of the sale of Business Solutions in the prior period.

2024 Outlook

Based on the performance in the first quarter, the Company updated full year 2024 revenue and EPS outlook. The outlook assumes no material changes in macroeconomic conditions.

	Revised 2024 Outlook		Previous 2024 Outlook
	GAAP	Adjusted	GAAP	Adjusted
Revenue¹	$4,125 to $4,200	$4,150 to $4,225	$4,075 to $4,175	$4,100 to $4,200
Operating Margin	18% to 20%	19% to 21%	18% to 20%	19% to 21%
EPS²	$1.62 to $1.72	$1.70 to $1.80	$1.57 to $1.67	$1.65 to $1.75
¹ In millions, adjusted revenue excludes the impact of currency and Argentina inflation ² The GAAP and adjusted effective tax rates are expected to be in the mid-teens range

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. The Company estimates Argentina inflation as the revenue growth not attributable to either transaction growth or the change in price (revenue divided by principal).

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 https://ir.westernunion.com.

Expenses incurred under the program also include non-cash impairments of operating lease right-of-use assets and property and equipment. The expenses are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses are therefore excluded from the Company's segment operating income results.
(c)		Represents the impact from expenses incurred in connection with the Company's acquisition and divestiture activity, including for the review and closing of these transactions, and integration costs directly related to the Company's acquisitions. Beginning in 2024, the Company changed its segment reporting methodology to no longer allocate these costs to its segments. These costs were previously allocated entirely to Consumer Services, and the amount included in the Consumer Services segment was immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The expenses are no longer included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses are therefore excluded from the Company's segment operating income results.

THE WESTERN UNION COMPANY
NOTES TO KEY STATISTICS
(Unaudited)
(in millions, unless indicated otherwise)

Western Union's management believes the non-GAAP financial measures presented within this press release and related tables provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's results to assist management, investors, analysts, and others in understanding the Company's financial results and to better analyze operating, profitability, and other financial performance trends in the Company's underlying business because they provide consistency and comparability to prior periods or eliminate currency volatility, increasing the comparability of the Company's underlying results and trends.

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 the Company's operations that, when viewed with the Company's GAAP results and the reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure, provides a more complete understanding of the Company's business. Users of the financial statements are encouraged to review the Company's 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.

Non-GAAP related notes:
(k)		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 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. Constant currency results also reflect the impact of Argentina inflation, where indicated, due to its economy being hyperinflationary. The Company estimates Argentina inflation as the revenue growth not attributable to either transaction growth or the change in price (revenue divided by principal).

(l)		Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization ("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.

(m)		Represents the impact from expenses incurred in connection with the Company's acquisition and divestiture activity, including for the review and closing of these transactions, and integration costs directly related to the Company's acquisitions. Beginning in 2024, the expenses are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation.

(n)		During 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC (collectively, the "Buyer"). The sale was completed in three closings, the first of which occurred on March 1, 2022 with the entirety of the cash consideration collected at that time and allocated to the closings on a relative fair value basis. The final closing, which included the European Union operations, occurred on July 1, 2023 and resulted in a gain of $18.0 million. Revenues have been adjusted to exclude the carved out financial information for the Business Solutions business to compare the year-over-year changes and trends in the Company's continuing businesses, excluding the effects of this divestiture.

(o)		Represents severance, expenses associated with streamlining the Company's organizational and legal structure, and other expenses associated with the Company's program to redeploy expenses in its cost base through optimizations in vendor management, real estate, marketing, and people strategy as previously announced in October 2022. Expenses incurred under the program also include non-cash impairments of operating lease right-of-use assets and property and equipment. The expenses are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. The Company has also excluded a tax benefit directly associated with streamlining the Company's legal structure in the fourth quarter of 2023 from its measures of adjusted net income, adjusted effective tax rate, and adjusted diluted earnings per share.

Other notes:

(aa)		Geographic split for transactions and revenue, including transactions initiated digitally, as earlier defined, is determined entirely based upon the region where the money transfer is initiated.

(bb)		Represents the North America (United States and Canada) ("NA") region of the Company's Consumer Money Transfer segment.

(cc)		Represents the Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States ("EU & CIS") region of the Company's Consumer Money Transfer segment.

(dd)		Represents the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia ("MEASA") region of the Company's Consumer Money Transfer segment, including India and certain South Asian countries, which consist of Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.

(ee)		Represents the Latin America and the Caribbean ("LACA") region of the Company's Consumer Money Transfer segment, including Mexico.

(ff)		Represents the Asia Pacific ("APAC") region of the Company's Consumer Money Transfer segment.

(gg)		Represents transactions conducted and funded through websites and mobile applications marketed under the Company's brands ("Branded Digital").
