Intermex Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results
Company generates strong earnings and margins, continued execution of omnichannel strategy
Company to Host Conference Call Today at 9 a.m. ET
MIAMI, (February 27, 2024) – 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 strong operating results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023.
Financial performance highlights for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with the same period last year are:
•Revenues of $171.8 million, an increase of 11.2%;
•Diluted EPS of $0.49 per share, an increase of 40.0%;
•Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.56 per share, an increase of 21.7%;
•Adjusted EBITDA of $33.3 million, an increase of 14.5%; and
•Net Free Cash Generated of $17.2 million, an increase of 25.9%.
Financial performance highlights for the full-year 2023 compared with the prior-year are:
•Revenues of $658.7 million, an increase of 20.5%;
•Diluted EPS of $1.63, an increase of 10.1%;
•Adjusted Diluted EPS of $1.95, an increase of 7.7%;
•Adjusted EBITDA of $120.0 million, an increase of 14.0%; and
•Net Free Cash Generated of $61.7 million, an increase of 3.6%.
Bob Lisy, Chairman, President, and CEO of Intermex, stated, “We are proud to deliver another quarter of strong earnings growth as we continue to execute on our omnichannel strategy. We were able to again achieve double-digit revenue growth, performing well despite market headwinds. Our keen focus on margins and cost control helped deliver outsized growth in EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS. Our highly efficient business model provides strong cash generation under already low leverage - allowing us to invest to accelerate growth while opportunistically purchasing shares in the market."
Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results (all comparisons are to the Fourth Quarter 2022)
Total revenues for the Company were $171.8 million, up 11.2%. Contributing to the revenue growth is solid growth in the underlying business and the acquisition of La Nacional in the U.S. and i-Transfer in Europe. Contributing to the revenue growth was an over 13% increase in unique, active customers to 4.2 million, who generated 15.3 million money transfer transactions, an increase of 11.7%. Also contributing to the growth in the number of transactions was the 43.1% growth in digital transactions. Transaction growth resulted in $6.2 billion in principal transferred, a 6.9% increase.
Net income was $17.5 million, an increase of 33.9%. Diluted earnings per share were $0.49, an increase of 40.0%. Net income and diluted EPS are impacted by an increase in revenues partially offset by higher service charges from agents and banks, increasing at a lower rate than revenues and increased operating
expenses, which reflect a full year of La Nacional and partial year of i-Transfer. Higher interest expense, depreciation & amortization - much of it acquisition related and lower transaction costs also impacted net income. Diluted earnings per share growth also reflects the positive benefits of the Company's stock repurchases.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.5% to $33.3 million, driven by the business operating results discussed above offset by a lower impact of the adjusting items shown in the reconciliation table below.
Adjusted net income increased 13.5% to $19.9 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.56, an increase of 21.7%. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS were impacted by the items noted above in net income, adjusted for certain non-cash expenses and lower transaction costs that are detailed in the reconciliation table below following the consolidated financial statements. Adjusted EPS also benefited from the Company's stock repurchases.
Full-year 2023 Financial Results (all comparisons are to the full-year 2022)
Revenues increased by 20.5% to $658.7 million. Driving that growth was a 22.7% increase in net money transfer transactions - driven by continued growth in the core business and the acquisition of La Nacional in the U.S. and i-Transfer in Europe. A 58.9% increase in digital transactions initiated also contributed to the Company's growth. Total principal sent increased 17.2% to $24.5 billion.
Net income was $59.5 million, an increase of 3.8%. Diluted earnings per share were $1.63, an increase of 10.1%, attributable to the year-to-date effects of the same items noted above for the quarterly results. In addition, the full-year 2022 net income was impacted by a $2.9 million tax benefit that did not recur in 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.0% to $120.0 million, attributable to the same items noted above for the quarterly operating results and the higher net effect of the adjusting items detailed in the reconciliation table below.
Adjusted net income totaled $71.0 million, an increase of 1.5%. Adjusted diluted earnings per share totaled $1.95, an increase of 7.7%, attributable to the same items noted above for the quarterly results.
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 2023 with $239.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. Net Free Cash Generated for the fourth quarter was $17.2 million, up 25.9%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Higher year-over-year free cash generated was favorably impacted by growth in net income, impacted moderately by an increase in capital spending associated with upgrading hardware and software within the U.S. agent base.
The Company repurchased approximately 523,000 shares of its common stock for $10.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2023 through its underlying share repurchase program. The Company also repurchased 770,403 shares for $15.3 million through privately-negotiated transactions.
Guidance
The Company is providing full year and first quarter guidance:
Full-year 2024:
•Revenue of $681.0 million to $701.8 million.
•Diluted EPS of $1.81 to $1.96.
•Adjusted EBITDA of $124.0 million to $127.7 million.
•Adjusted Diluted EPS of $2.13 to $2.31.
First quarter 2024:
•Revenue of $150.4 million to $155.0 million.
•Diluted EPS of $0.32 to $0.35.
•Adjusted EBITDA of $24.4 million to $25.1 million.
•Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.39 to $0.42.
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 to Adjusted Earnings per Share 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.
