Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options at the presented dates are exercised and shares of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) have vested, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share when the effect would be anti-dilutive. Treasury stock shares that have been repurchased are not considered outstanding and therefore are excluded from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding calculation.

The Company maintains certain of its cash balances in various U.S. banks, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not incurred any losses on these accounts. In addition, the Company maintains various bank accounts in Mexico, Guatemala and Canada, which are not insured. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company has not incurred any significant losses on these uninsured foreign bank accounts, with the exception of a $3.6 million reserve recorded by the Company on the balance of deposits

held as a result of the closure of a financial institution in Mexico during the third quarter of 2021 (see Note 6). Management believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk regarding these accounts as it performs periodic reviews of the creditworthiness of the financial institutions the Company uses. Cash and cash equivalents balances were as follows (in thousands):

Revenues for wire transfer and money order fees are recognized at the time the transaction is processed. The Company acts as the principal for these transactions as the Company controls the service at all times prior to transferring the funds to the beneficiary, is primarily responsible for fulfilling the customer contracts, has the risk of loss and has the ability to establish transaction prices. Therefore, these fees are recognized on a gross basis equal to the full amount of the fee charged to the customer. These fees also vary by transaction primarily depending upon, the principal amount sent, the send and receive locations, as well as the respective currencies of the send and receive locations. Foreign exchange gain, net, which represents the difference between the exchange rate set by the Company and the rate realized, is recognized upon the disbursement of U.S. dollars to the entities from which the Company is acquiring foreign currency. Other income primarily represents revenues for technology services provided to the independent network of agents who utilize the Company’s technology in processing transactions and check cashing services, for which revenue is derived by a fee per transaction.

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method, which requires that intangible assets be recognized apart from goodwill if they are contractual in nature or separately identifiable. Acquisitions are measured based on the fair value of consideration transferred and, if the consideration transferred is not cash, measurement is based on the fair value of the consideration transferred or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more reliably measurable. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill.

The valuation and allocation processes rely on significant assumptions made by management. In certain situations, the allocations of excess purchase price are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the allocations are subject to revision when the Company receives updated information, including valuations and other analyses, which are completed within one year of the acquisition. Revisions to the preliminary fair values, which may be significant, are recorded through goodwill until pending information is finalized, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. Any revisions to the fair values after they have been finalized will be accounted for as a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

Consideration transferred may consist of potential future payments that are contingent upon the acquired business achieving certain levels of earnings in the future, also referred to as “contingent consideration” or “earn-out.” Earn-out liability is measured at its estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition. Changes in the fair value of earn-out liability are recorded as a component of operating income in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. The earn-out liability is included within accrued current and other liabilities within the consolidated balance sheet. Earn-out payments, to the extent they relate to the estimated earn-out liability as of the date of acquisition, are classified within financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Earn-out payments in excess of the acquisition date earn-out liability are classified within operating activities.

Accounts receivable and agent advances receivable are recorded at their net realizable value, which is net of an allowance for credit losses. Accounts receivable are recorded upon initiation of the wire transfer and are typically due to the Company within five days. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its sending agents to make required payments.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, on December 31, 2022, which was retroactively applied as of the first day of fiscal year 2022, as further described within the section below titled Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. This accounting standard requires companies to measure expected credit losses on financial instruments based on the total estimated amount to be collected over the lifetime of the instrument. Prior to the adoption of this accounting standard, the Company recorded incurred loss reserves against receivable balances based on current and historical information.

Expected credit losses for uncollectible receivable balances consider both current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions. Current conditions considered include pre-defined aging criteria, as well as specified events that indicate the balance due is not collectible. Reasonable and supportable forecasts used in determining the probability of future collection consider publicly available macroeconomic data and whether future credit losses are expected to differ from historical losses. Accounts receivable that are more than 90 days past due are charged off against the allowance for credit losses.

Prepaid expenses and other assets consist primarily of prepaid expenses for services, tenant allowance, agent advances receivable (see Note 6) and deferred financing costs. Interest income on agent advances receivable is recognized on a cash basis due at the end of each calendar month, which is when the interest payments are due from the majority of the agent advances receivable.

The Company is a party to leases for office space, warehouses and Company-operated store locations. The Company determines if a contract contains a lease arrangement at the inception of the contract. For leases in which the Company is the lessee, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. At commencement date, lease right-of-use (“ROUs”) assets consist of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, minus any lease incentive received, and any initial direct costs. If a lease does not provide a discount rate and the rate cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is used to determine the present value of future lease payments. Lease and variable non-lease components within the Company’s lease agreements are not accounted for separately.

Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at cost, or the allocated fair value in purchase accounting, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The costs of additions and betterments that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and the expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed in the period incurred as part of other selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter. At the time depreciable assets are retired or otherwise disposed, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation of such assets are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the current

Goodwill and intangible assets result primarily from business combination acquisitions. Intangible assets include primarily agent relationships, trade names, developed technology and other intangibles, all with finite lives. Other intangibles relate to the acquisition of certain agent locations and non-competition agreements. Upon the acquisition, the purchase price is first allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities, including trade name and other intangibles, with any remaining purchase price recorded as goodwill.

Goodwill is not amortized; however, it is assessed for impairment at least annually, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if triggering events occur. For purposes of the annual assessment, management initially performs a qualitative assessment, which includes consideration of the economic, industry and market conditions in addition to our overall financial performance and the performance of these assets. If our qualitative assessment does not conclude that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value, we perform a quantitative analysis. In a quantitative test, the fair value of a reporting unit is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis requires us to make various assumptions, including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on our long-term projections. Assumptions used in our impairment testing are consistent with our internal forecasts and operating plans. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If not, we recognize an impairment equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the reporting unit and its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

The Company’s agent relationships, trade names and developed technology are amortized utilizing an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives of up to 15 years. Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful life of up to 10 years. The Company reviews for impairment indicators of finite-lived intangibles and other long-lived assets as described below in “Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.”

The Company evaluates long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to forecasted undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management’s estimates, depending upon the nature of the assets.

The Company incurred debt origination costs related to the A&R Credit Agreement (as defined herein), consisting of a term loan facility and a revolving credit facility and amortizes these costs over the life of the related debt using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. The unamortized portion of debt origination costs related to the term loan is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as an offset to the related debt, while deferred up-front commitment fees paid directly to the lender related to the revolving credit facility are recorded within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of debt origination costs is included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with GAAP which requires, among other things, recognition of future tax benefits measured at enacted rates attributable to deductible temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and to tax net operating loss carryforwards to the extent that realization of said benefits is more likely than not.

As required by the uncertain tax position guidance, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. The Company applies the uncertain tax position guidance to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open. The Company’s policy is to classify interest accrued as interest expense and penalties as other selling, general and administrative expenses.

The financial statements and transactions of the Company’s foreign operations are maintained in their functional currency, which is other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for each period. Translation adjustments, which result from the process of translating the financial statements of the Company’s foreign operations into U.S. dollars, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

We manage foreign currency risk through the structure of the business and an active risk management process. We currently settle with our payers in Latin America primarily by entering into foreign exchange tom and spot transactions with local and foreign currency providers (“counterparties”). The foreign currency exposure on our foreign exchange tom and spot transactions is limited by the fact that all transactions are settled within two business days from trade date. Foreign currency fluctuations, however, may negatively affect our average exchange gain per transaction. The Company had open tom and spot foreign exchange contracts for Mexico and Guatemala amounting to approximately $41.3 million and $48.6 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation expense related to equity instruments under GAAP, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation costs for all equity-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. We have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. The Company may use either authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares to meet share issuance requirements. See Note 14 for further discussion related to the Company’s share-based compensation plans.

The Company’s business is organized around one reportable segment that provides money transmittal services between the U.S. and Canada to Mexico, Guatemala and other countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia through a network of authorized agents located in various unaffiliated retail establishments and 117 Company-operated stores throughout the U.S. and Canada. This is based on the objectives of the business and how our chief operating decision maker, the CEO and President, monitors operating performance and allocates resources.

The FASB issued guidance, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The guidance requires that a lessee recognizes a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a ROU asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the consolidated balance sheet. Leases will be classified as financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company adopted the new standard, including the related amendments, effective January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach and used the effective date as the date of initial application. Management has completed its analysis and determined that all of its leasing arrangements will be classified as operating leases. The Company elected to apply three practical expedients, including (i) the election not to reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs, (ii) to use hindsight in determining the lease term, and (iii) the election not to separate lease and non-lease components for arrangements where the Company is a lessee. Additionally, management has implemented new processes to facilitate the requirements of the new standard and determined the ROU asset and lease liability will each amount to approximately $5.6 million on January 1, 2022. Refer to Note 8 for additional information on this standard and related disclosures. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income and consolidated statement of cash flows.

The FASB issued guidance, ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which requires entities to estimate all expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective adoption method on December 31, 2022, which was retroactively applied as of the first day of fiscal year 2022. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued guidance, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedient and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In response to the concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. This accounting standards update provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. The Company adopted this guidance upon entering into an amendment of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in November 2022, which among other provisions, introduces the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to replace LIBOR as the benchmark rate. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
