Revenue, Net Income, Earnings per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA

Intermex generated revenue of $82.7 million in the second quarter, an increase of 17.5% over the prior year period. Revenue growth was primarily driven by volume growth in the LATAM corridor.

The Company reported net income in the second quarter of $7.1 million compared to $1.8 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net income totaled $9.6 million compared to $6.5 million in the prior year period.

Basic and diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2019 were $0.19 compared to $0.11 per share in the prior year period. Adjusted earnings per diluted share totaled $0.26for the second quarter 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2019 grew 21.9% over the comparable period in the prior year to $16.3 million, driven by revenue growth and cost efficiencies. These results represent an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.7%, which is an expansion of 72bps compared to the prior year period margin of 19.0%.

Intermex President, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Robert Lisy commented “We are pleased with another strong quarter of results. Intermex continues to gain market share in our core US to Latin America money transfer market. Additionally, we’ve taken strides to expand into new markets with our launch in Africa in the first quarter and launch in Canada at the beginning of the third quarter. Our second quarter results displayed our ability to generate strong revenue and net income growth, even when industry growth was moderate. We are pleased to reaffirm our 2019 Financial Guidance range of $320 million to $330 million for revenue and $54 million to $58 million for Adjusted EBITDA.”

Non-GAAP Measures

For the Company, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA are the primary metrics used by management to evaluate the financial performance of our business. We present these Non-GAAP Measures because we believe they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Further, we believe they are helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results, because it excludes, among other things, certain results of decisions 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 transaction costs, non-cash amortization resulting from push-down accounting, and non-cash compensation costs, 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 is defined as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes, and also adjusted to add back certain charges and expenses, such as transaction costs and non-cash compensation costs, 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 Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income 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 and Adjusted EBITDA as well as a reconciliation of net income per share to Adjusted Net Income per share are set forth below following the consolidated financial statements.  A quantitative reconciliation of projected 2019 Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and qualifying the amounts necessary under GAAP guidance for one-time, non-recurring items including, without limitation, costs related to acquisitions and the registration of the Company’s securities, and losses related to legal contingencies or disposal of assets.
