Third quarter GAAP earnings per share (EPS)
of $0.45, adjusted EPS of $0.42; 21.3% GAAP operating margin, 20.6%
adjusted operating margin
“Evolve 2025” strategy starts to take root:
new digital U.S. outbound customer growth accelerates 26% in
September
Reaffirms 2022 Financial Outlook
The Western Union Company (NYSE: WU) today reported third
quarter 2022 financial results and reaffirmed its full year
financial outlook.
The Company’s third quarter revenue of $1.1 billion declined 15%
on a reported basis, or 6% on a constant currency basis excluding
the contribution from Business Solutions, compared to the prior
year period. The suspension of operations in Russia and Belarus
negatively impacted revenue by approximately three percentage
points, while Argentina inflation benefited revenue by
approximately one percentage point.
GAAP EPS in the third quarter was $0.45, compared to $0.57 in
the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease in GAAP EPS was
primarily due to lower operating profit, partially offset by a
lower effective GAAP tax rate and lower share count.
Adjusted EPS in the third quarter was $0.42, compared to $0.63
in the prior year period. The year-over-year decline in adjusted
EPS was driven by lower operating profit and a higher adjusted
effective tax rate, partially offset by lower share count. For a
full reconciliation between GAAP and Adjusted metrics, please see
the “Non-GAAP Measures” section of this press release.
In the prior year period, Business Solutions contributed
approximately $0.09 to GAAP and adjusted EPS, while operations in
Russia and Belarus contributed approximately $0.06 to GAAP and
adjusted EPS.
“While third quarter performance was in-line with our prior
outlook, it remains below our expectations for longer term results.
We remain on track to meet our full year financial outlook,” said
Devin McGranahan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Western
Union.
McGranahan added, “As a company, we remain focused on execution
of our ‘Evolve 2025’ strategy that we shared at Investor Day. While
our digital business slowed and performed below our longer-term
expectations in the quarter, we were pleased with early positive
results of our revised marketing strategy as U.S. outbound new
digital customer acquisition accelerated to double-digit growth in
the month of September.”
Interim Chief Financial Officer Matt Cagwin stated, “Europe and
CIS continued to be the largest drag on results as the epicenter of
the conflict in Ukraine. In North America, we saw quarterly
sequential improvement in transactions and new customers driven by
our enhanced marketing program, while our business in Latin America
and Caribbean continued to perform solidly in the quarter.”
Q3 Business Highlights
- C2C revenues declined 11% on a reported basis, or 8% constant
currency, while transactions declined 12% compared to the prior
year period. The suspension of operations in Russia and Belarus
negatively impacted C2C revenue and transactions by 3% and 9%,
respectively. Regionally, transaction declines in Europe and CIS,
North America, APAC, and MEASA were partially offset by transaction
growth in LACA.
- Digital money transfer revenues declined 12% on a reported
basis, or 9% constant currency, while transactions declined 20%.
Digital money transfer represented 24% and 34% of total C2C
revenues and transactions, respectively. The suspension of
operations in Russia and Belarus negatively impacted digital money
transfer revenue and transactions by 7% and 22%, respectively.
- Branded Digital revenue declined 8% on a reported basis, or 5%
constant currency on transaction declines of 1%. The suspension of
operations in Russia and Belarus negatively impacted both Branded
Digital revenue and transactions by 2% in the quarter.
Q3 Financial Highlights
- GAAP operating margin in the quarter was 21.3%, compared to
24.8% in the prior year period. The adjusted operating margin was
20.6% compared to 25.2% in the prior year period, with the prior
year positively impacted by 90 basis points from the inclusion of
Business Solutions. The decrease in the adjusted operating margin
in the quarter was primarily due to lower revenue and increased
strategic investments in technology and marketing.
- The GAAP effective tax rate in the quarter was 10.2%, compared
to 20.2% in the prior year period, and the decrease was primarily
due to changes in discrete tax items offset by the sale of Business
Solutions and the Company's decision to suspend its operations in
Russia and Belarus. The adjusted effective tax rate was 15.5% in
the quarter, compared to 13.7% in the prior year period, primarily
due to an increase in the proportion of higher taxed earnings and
the effects of changes in U.S. tax rules.
- Cash flow from operating activities was $522 million
year-to-date. The Company returned $450 million to shareholders
year-to-date, consisting of $273 million in dividends and $177
million of share repurchases.
2022 Outlook
Today, the Company reaffirmed its full year 2022 financial
outlook provided on August 3, 2022. The outlook assumes current
macroeconomic conditions will continue for the remainder of the
year.
During the third quarter, the Company agreed with Goldfinch
Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC to complete the divestiture
of Business Solutions in three closings instead of two, the first
of which occurred on March 1, 2022. GAAP figures reflect an
expected partial year of Business Solutions ownership, including
contractual payments to the buyers, representing profits between
the first and third closings, associated divestiture and
acquisition costs, exit costs, and an estimated pre-tax gain of
approximately $274 million of which $151 million was recognized
year-to-date. The second closing, which includes the United Kingdom
operations, is currently expected to occur in December 2022,
pending required regulatory approvals, and which will result in a
pre-tax gain of approximately $93 million, subject to regulatory
capital adjustments. The third closing, which includes the European
Union operations, is currently expected to occur in the first
quarter of 2023, pending required regulatory approvals, at which
time the remainder of the gain will be recognized, subject to
regulatory capital adjustments.
Adjusted revenue growth and operating margin exclude
contributions from Business Solutions. In addition, adjusted
operating margin excludes associated divestiture and acquisition
costs, Business Solutions exit costs, and costs related to the exit
from Russia and Belarus. The adjusted effective tax rate and EPS
exclude the expected gain on sale of Business Solutions,
acquisition and divestiture costs, Business Solutions exit costs,
exit costs from Russia and Belarus, and the reversal of uncertain
tax positions.
The 2022 outlook is as follows:
Revenue
GAAP: approximately -11% to
-13%
Adjusted (constant currency, excluding
the impact of Argentina inflation and proforma for the
planned sale of Business Solutions): mid-single digit
decline
Operating Profit Margin
GAAP and Adjusted: a range of 20%
to 21%
Effective Tax Rate
GAAP: approximately 20%
Adjusted: mid-teens range
EPS
GAAP: $2.18 - $2.28
Adjusted: $1.75 - $1.85
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.
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.
Adjusted constant currency revenue growth metrics for 2022
exclude contributions from Business Solutions. Adjusted operating
profit metrics for 2022 exclude contributions from Business
Solutions, acquisition and divestiture costs, Russia and Belarus
exit costs, and Business Solutions exit costs. The adjusted
effective tax rate and EPS metrics for 2022 exclude the expected
gain on sale of Business Solutions, acquisition and divestiture
costs, Business Solutions exit costs, exit costs from Russia and
Belarus, and the reversal of uncertain tax positions.
Adjusted constant currency revenue growth metrics for 2021
exclude contributions from Business Solutions. Adjusted operating
profit metrics for 2021 periods exclude acquisition and divestiture
costs. Adjusted tax rate and earnings per share metrics for 2021
periods exclude the following items and the related taxes, as
applicable: acquisition and divestiture costs, the impact from the
gain on an investment sale, debt retirement expenses, Business
Solutions change in permanent reinvestment tax assertion, and
non-cash expenses associated with the termination of the Company’s
pension plan.

sell its Business Solutions business to the Buyer. The sale will be
completed in three closings, the first of which occurred on March
1, 2022. The second is expected to occur in December 2022, with the

Business Solutions business to be sold in the second and third

profit of the European Union and United Kingdom operations, while
owned by the Company, adjusted for the occupancy charges for
employees of the Buyer using Company facilities and other items, as
contractually agreed, and this expense is recognized in Other
income/(expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Income. The related income tax expense on this income is also
passed to the Buyer. (b) Other primarily includes the Company’s
bill payment services which facilitate payments from consumers to
businesses and other organizations and the Company’s money order
services. (c) Calculation not meaningful. (d) Represents the exit
costs incurred in connection with the suspension of operations in

business.
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 provide meaningful supplemental
information regarding the Company’s operating results to assist
management, investors, analysts, and others in understanding the
Company’s financial results and to better analyze trends in the
Company’s underlying business because they provide consistency and
comparability to prior periods. 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. The Company believes that this measure provides
management and investors with information about revenue results and
trends that eliminates currency volatility while increasing the
comparability of the Company's underlying results and trends. (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. The
Company believes 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 the
Company's underlying operating results. (n) On April 12, 2021, the
Company sold a substantial majority of the noncontrolling interest
it held in a private company for cash proceeds of $50.9 million. As
a result, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain in the second quarter
of 2021. The gain on the sale and the income taxes on the gain have
been removed from adjusted results. The Company believes excluding
the impact of this gain will provide investors with a more
meaningful comparison of results with the historical periods
presented. (o) On April 1, 2021, the Company repaid $500 million of
aggregate principal amount of 3.6% unsecured notes due in 2022 and
incurred approximately $14.8 million of costs, excluding accrued
interest, in connection with the repayment. The cost associated
with the repayment was recorded to Other income/(expense), net, in
the second quarter of 2021. The costs associated with the payment
and related tax benefit have been removed from adjusted results.
The Company believes excluding the impact of this charge will
provide investors with a more meaningful comparison of results with
the historical periods presented. (p) Represents the settlement
charges for the Company's defined benefit pension plan incurred in
the fourth quarter of 2021. On July 22, 2021, the Company's Board
of Directors approved a plan to terminate and settle this frozen
defined benefit plan, and during the fourth quarter of 2021, the
Company settled its obligations under the plan and transferred the
corresponding amount of plan assets to the insurer. The expenses
associated with the pension settlement were recorded to Pension
settlement charges within Total other income/(expense), net. The
Company believes excluding the impact of this charge will provide
investors with a more meaningful comparison of results with the
historical periods presented. (q) Represents the tax impact from
changes to certain of the Company's permanent reinvestment
assertions related to its decision to classify its Business
Solutions business as held for sale in 2021. The Company believes
excluding the impact of this charge will provide investors with a
more meaningful comparison of results with the historical periods
presented. (r) 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") and received
cash consideration of $896.4 million, net of cash divested, subject
to the remaining closes and regulatory capital adjustments. The
sale will be 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 first closing excluded the
operations in the European Union and the United Kingdom and
resulted in a gain of $151.4 million. The second closing, which
includes the United Kingdom operations, is expected to occur in
December 2022, pending required regulatory approvals. The third
closing, which includes the European Union operations, is currently
expected in the first quarter of 2023, pending regulatory
approvals. 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.
While the sale of the Company's Business Solutions business does
not qualify for or represent discontinued operations, the Company
has also adjusted operating income, beginning in the first quarter
of 2022 and concurrent with the sale, to exclude the carved out
direct profit of the Business Solutions business. During the period
between the first and third closings, the Company will continue to
record revenues and operating income for the European Union and
United Kingdom operations, but it will pay the Buyer a measure of
the profits from these operations, adjusted for other charges, as
contractually agreed, and this expense is recognized in Other
income/(expense), net. Therefore, the Company believes that
providing this information enhances investors' understanding of the
profitability of the Company's remaining businesses. The Company
has also excluded the gain on the sale, net of related taxes from
its first quarter 2022 results and the 2022 adjusted outlook, as
management believes that excluding the impact from the gain on sale
of the Business Solutions business will provide investors with a
clearer and more meaningful comparison of results in 2022 and
future periods. These financial measures are non-GAAP measures and
should not be considered a substitute for the GAAP measures. (s)
Represents the exit costs incurred in connection with the
divestiture of the Business Solutions business and the suspension
of operations in Russia and Belarus, primarily related to severance
and non-cash impairments of property and equipment, an operating
lease right-of-use asset, and other intangible assets. While
certain of the expenses are identifiable to the Company's segments,
the expenses are not included in the measurement of segment
operating income provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker for
purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These
expenses are therefore excluded from the Company's segment
operating income results. These expenses have been excluded from
operating income, the effective tax rate, and diluted earnings per
share, net of related taxes. Additionally, the outlook metrics have
been adjusted to exclude these costs, net of related taxes where
applicable. The Company believes 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 the Company's underlying operating results. (t)
Represents non-cash reversals of significant uncertain tax
positions. The Company believes excluding these reversals provides
a more meaningful comparison of results to the historical periods
presented.
