DALLAS, July 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- MoneyGram (NASDAQ:MGI), a global provider of innovative money transfer and payment services, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

"Our second quarter results reflect the significant progress MoneyGram has made toward executing the strategic initiatives we outlined at the beginning of the year," said Pamela H. Patsley, MoneyGram's chairman and chief executive officer. "Our performance during the quarter resulted in a return to constant currency revenue growth. We posted the largest number of money transfer transactions in our history and accelerated both our self-service revenue and transaction growth. The launch of the new moneygram.com along with the growth of our innovative kiosks and core money transfer business are generating substantial momentum. We remain on track to reach our double-digit growth target in the fourth quarter."

Money Transfer Highlights


    --  Money transfer transaction growth accelerated to 6 percent, and
        represented the highest number of quarterly transactions in MoneyGram's
        history.
    --  Money transfer revenue in the quarter was $316.6 million, representing 2
        percent growth on a constant currency basis and a decline of 4 percent
        on a reported basis as compared to the prior year.
    --  Money transfer results reflect the continued strength in the Company's
        U.S. Outbound and Non-U.S. send transaction growth, offset by the impact
        of our U.S.-to-U.S. pricing initiative implemented in the fourth quarter
        of 2014.
        --  U.S. Outbound transactions grew 13 percent year-over-year, led by
            sends to Latin America and Africa.
        --  Non-U.S. send transactions grew 16 percent led by sends from the
            Middle East, Africa and UK, and accelerated from 14 percent
            year-over-year growth in the first quarter.
        --  U.S.-to-U.S. transactions declined 22 percent, an improvement from a
            decline of 37 percent in the first quarter. Total transactions
            increased sequentially driven by MoneyGram's innovative self-service
            product solutions.
    --  U.S. Outbound and Non-U.S. sends now represent 87 percent of money
        transfer revenue and grew 14 percent on a constant currency basis in the
        quarter, up from 10 percent growth in the first quarter.

Self-Service Highlights


    --  Strong customer adoption of MoneyGram's innovative kiosks and the launch
        of the new moneygram.com led to accelerated self-service money transfer
        results in the second quarter.
        --  Self-service money transfer transactions increased 67 percent, and
            now represent 14 percent of money transfer transactions.
        --  Self-service money transfer revenue grew 58 percent over the prior
            year, and represents 12 percent of money transfer revenue.
            Annualizing the second quarter, these channels generate almost $150
            million of revenue.
        --  New kiosks were activated in Europe and China expanding self-service
            into new markets.
    --  moneygram.com transactions increased 19 percent and revenue was up 10
        percent over the prior year. Our sleek, reimagined moneygram.com and
        mobile app for Apple and Android devices launched in June. The platform
        is the first service which enables customers to send money around the
        world without needing to create an account. The ease of the new service
        produced nearly 190,000 new active customers, a record quarterly high.

Financial Results


    --  Total revenue for the second quarter was $358.8 million, an increase of
        1 percent on a constant currency basis and a decrease of 4 percent on a
        reported basis due to the stronger dollar. Investment revenue was $2.8
        million.
    --  In June, the Company completed a partial buyout of pension obligations
        and recorded a non-cash charge of $13.8 million. The effect of the
        buyout was a reduction in the Company's pension liability and a
        permanent reduction in future expenses of the plan.
    --  The Company reported EBITDA of $16.0 million and a pre-tax loss of $27.1
        million.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA was $57.7 million (Table Four). Adjusted EBITDA margin
        was 16.1 percent, a 40 basis point decline from the first quarter due to
        increased marketing spend to launch new products and for seasonal
        campaigns.
    --  Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.23. Diluted loss per share
        was $0.20 due to the pension buyout and expenses related to the Global
        Transformation Program.
    --  Adjusted free cash flow was negative $7.4 million primarily due to the
        repositioning of the U.S.-to-U.S. business, investments in the Global
        Transformation Program and agent signing bonus payments. The Company
        also made a one-time $55.8 million payment related to the IRS tax
        litigation during the quarter, which is not included in the adjusted
        free cash flow. The Company has since filed an appeal of the U.S. tax
        court decision.

"The critical need to send money and the push for global financial inclusion continues to drive growth in the industry," Patsley said. "The investments we are making into the expansion of our innovative self-service money transfer and payment service products are providing consumers with more choices and greater convenience, prompting a growing number of customers to choose MoneyGram to fulfill some of their most important financial needs. Given our strong execution and the progress we are making towards achieving our goals, I am confident this is the right time to move forward with the CEO succession plan that was separately announced today."

Full Year 2015 Outlook

The Company's outlook for 2015 is unchanged. For the full-year 2015, the Company estimates approximately flat constant currency revenue growth.

For Adjusted EBITDA, the Company estimates a decline of approximately 8 to 12 percent on a constant currency basis for the full-year 2015. The Company anticipates improving to year-over-year double-digit constant currency revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth in the fourth quarter.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release and related tables include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including a presentation of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including agent signing bonus amortization), Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA adjusted for significant items), Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest, cash taxes, cash payments for capital expenditures and agent signing bonuses), constant currency measures, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted net income. In addition, we also present adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin for our two reporting segments. The following tables include a full reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the related GAAP financial measures. The equivalent GAAP financial measures for projected results are not provided as we are not able to predict results inclusive of currency changes.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they are an indicator of the strength and performance of ongoing business operations. These calculations are commonly used as a basis for investors, analysts and other interested parties to evaluate and compare the operating performance and value of companies within our industry. Finally, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted free cash flow, constant currency, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted net income figures are financial and performance measures used by management in reviewing results of operations, forecasting, allocating resources or establishing employee incentive programs. Although MoneyGram believes the above non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors' understanding of its business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the accompanying GAAP financial measures.
