NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

Note 1 — Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation
References to “MoneyGram,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” are to MoneyGram International, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Nature of Operations — MoneyGram offers products and services under its two reporting segments: Global Funds Transfer and Financial Paper Products. The Global Funds Transfer segment provides global money transfer services and bill payment services to consumers. We primarily offer services through third-party agents, including retail chains, independent retailers, post offices and other financial institutions. We also offer Digital solutions such as moneygram.com, mobile solutions, account deposit and kiosk-based services. Additionally, we have limited Company-operated retail locations. The Financial Paper Products segment provides official check outsourcing services and money orders through financial institutions and agent locations.
Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementscondensed consolidated financial statements of MoneyGram are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included andThe Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods. For further information, referunclassified due to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included intiming uncertainty surrounding the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
In the first quarterpayment of 2018, the Company changed the presentation of certain operating expenses, which are now presented as part of "Direct transaction expense" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Direct transaction expense includes expenses related to the processing of money transfers, such as customer authentication and funding costs. Prior period amounts have been updated to reflect the change in presentation, which had no impact on operating income, net income, earnings per share, or segments operating results.settlement obligations.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, future expectations and other factors and assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are revised when necessary. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period of change. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Related Developments — In May 2014,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB"("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers(Topic 606). The new guidance sets forth a five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the current revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance and requires more detailed disclosures. To further assist with adoption and implementation of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued the following ASUs:
ASU 2016-08 (Issued March 2016) — Principal versus Agent Consideration (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)
ASU 2016-10 (Issued April 2016) — Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing
ASU 2016-12 (Issued May 2016) — Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients
ASU 2016-20 (Issued December 2016) — Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
These ASUs are effective for public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted these standards in the first quarter of 2018 using the cumulative effect transition method upon adoption. See Note 15 Revenue Recognition for more information related to the Company's revenue from contracts with customers.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU(ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous lease guidance. The FASB retained the distinction between finance leases and operating leases, leaving the effect of leases in the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows largely unchanged from previous GAAP. To further assist with adoption and implementation of ASU 2016-02, the FASB issued the following ASUs:
ASU 2018-10 (Issued July 2018) — Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases
ASU 2018-11 (Issued July 2018) — Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements

ASU 2018-20 (Issued December 2018) — Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors
ASU 2019-01 (Issued March 2019) — Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements
ASU 2018-11 provided entities with an additional transition method to adopt the new lease standard. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption, if any. The new lease standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption of the amendment is permitted, but the Company will not be early adopting this standard. The Company expects to adoptadopted these standards in the new standard on January 1,first quarter of 2019 utilizing the transition method allowed under ASU 2018-11. See Note 16 — Leases for more information related to the Company's leases.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The Companynew credit impairment standard changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to what they do today, except that the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than as reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. To further assist with adoption and implementation of ASU 2016-02, the FASB issued the following ASU:
ASU 2018-19 (Issued November 2018) — Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
These ASUs are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. MoneyGram will not be early adopting these standards. We are still evaluating these ASUs, but we do not believe the adoption date as the initial application date.
As the Company's leases consist primarily of operating leases for buildings, equipment and vehicles, we anticipate that this standard will have a material impact on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, management believes that this standard will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. While the Company continues to assess potential impacts from this standard, we currently expect the most significant impact will be the recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. We expect our accounting for capital leases to remain substantially unchanged. Based on preliminary evaluation, the Company estimates that the value of lease liabilities will be between $55.0 million and $60.0 million upon adoption, with corresponding ROU assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases. Additionally, we expect to elect the ‘package of practical expedients,’ which permits us to not reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We do not expect to elect the use of hindsight practical expedient or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements, as the latter is not applicable to us. We currently expect to elect the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. We also currently expect to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for our real estate and vehicle leases. The Company is continuing to evaluate the full impact of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, as well as its impacts on business processes, systems, and internal controls.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. This standard requires that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Consequently, the amendments in this standard eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. ASU 2016-16 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach resulted in a cumulative effect of $4.2 million to "Retained loss," consisting of a deferred charge of $1.3 million offset by a recording of deferred tax balances of $5.5 million from "Other assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The amendments in the standard require components of net periodic benefit cost, other than service cost, to be presented outside of income from operations. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 in the first quarter of 2018. Prior to the adoption of this ASU, the Company presented net periodic benefit costs, other than service cost, in "Compensation and benefits" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Upon adoption, these costs were reclassified to "Other non-operating expense (income)" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the prior period was updated to reflect this change. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, net periodic benefit costs, other than service cost, were $1.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, net periodic benefit costs, other than service cost, were $1.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively.consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Income. The amendments in the standard allow

a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the legislation commonly known as the "Tax“Tax Cuts and Jobs Act," and also known as H.R. 1 - 115th Congress (the "TCJA"Act” (“TCJA”). The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 willin the first quarter of 2019 and applied the amendments from the accounting update in the period of adoption. The Company reclassified $15.1 million from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Retained loss on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. ASU 2018-02 did not have an impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Operations or the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 9 — Stockholders' Deficit for more information.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Plans - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefits Plans. The amendments in this standard also require that entities now disclose the weighted-average interest credit ratings for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest credit ratings and an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period, as well as clarify and remove certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. ASU 2018-02other disclosures. This standard is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginningending after December 15, 2018,2020, and, interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlyalthough early adoption is permitted. The Companypermitted, MoneyGram will not be early adopting this standard. The impact of this ASU is still being evaluated, but management does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in the standard allow for the capitalization of certain implementation costs associated with a hosting arrangement that is a service contract by applying the guidance in ASC Subtopic 350-40, "Internal-Use Software." This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted, including in any interim period. MoneyGram will adopt this standard as of October 1, 2018, on a prospective basis and, as such, there will be no accumulated impact to theour consolidated financial statements upon adoption.statements.

The Company has determined that there have been no other recently adopted or issued accounting standards that had, or will have, a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Merger Agreement — On January 26, 2017, MoneyGram International, Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 15, 2017, the “Merger Agreement”) with Alipay (UK) Limited, a United Kingdom limited company (“Alipay”), Matrix Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Alipay (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for purposes of certain specified provisions of the Merger Agreement, Alipay (Hong Kong) Holding Limited, a Hong Kong limited company, providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Alipay (the “Merger”). The closing of the Merger was subject to certain conditions, including clearance by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) under the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended. On January 2, 2018, the parties to the Merger Agreement were advised that CFIUS clearance of the Merger would not be forthcoming, and after further discussion between the parties, they determined to cease efforts to seek CFIUS approval and entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, Alipay paid the Company a termination fee of $30.0 million on January 3, 2018, which is recorded in "Other non-operating expense (income)" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The parties agreed to release each other from certain claims and liabilities arising out of or relating to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.

Note 2 — Restructuring and Reorganization Costs

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company initiated a restructuring and reorganization program (the "Digital Transformation Program") to modernize the business, reduce operating expenses, focus on improving profitability and better align the organization to deliver new digital touch-points for customers and agents. In connection with theThe Digital Transformation Program which is expected to bewas substantially completed in the first quarter of 2019. As of March 31, 2019, the Company expects over 350 employees to be affected, possibly through transfers or terminations, representing approximately 14% of the Company’s global workforce as of December 31, 2017. The Companyincurred $24.0 million in restructuring and reorganization costs and expects to incur restructuring and reorganization charges between $16.5approximately $0.5 million to $19.5 million, consistingof additional costs primarily of severance and outplacement benefits (between $12.0 millionrelated to $12.5 million), real estate lease termination and other associated costs (between $3.0 million to $3.5 million), legal and other costs (between $1.0 million to $2.5 million), and reorganization costs (between $0.5 million to $1.0 million).costs. The actual timing and costs of the plan may differ from the Company’s current expectations and estimates. On the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, the severance and outplacement benefits and reorganization costs are recorded in "Compensation and benefits," the real estate lease termination and other associated costs are recorded in "Occupancy, equipment and supplies" and "Depreciation and amortization" and the legal and other costs are recorded in "Transaction and operations support."

These securities have the implicit backing of the U.S. government and the Company expects to receive full par value upon maturity or pay-down, as well as all interest payments.
Gains and Losses For the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018,, the Company had no net realized gains or losses. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had nominal net realized losses from its available-for-sale portfolio. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized $12.2 million of investment income from the redemption at par value of $12.7 million of a previously impaired asset-backed security in "Investment revenue" on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Prior to the redemption, the security had $0.5 million in book value with $7.9 million in unrealized gains.gains or losses. The Company had nominal unrealized losses in its available-for-sale portfolio as of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017. See summary of net unrealized gains included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in Note 9 — Stockholders' Deficit.2018.
Contractual Maturities — Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations, sometimes without call or prepayment penalties. Maturities of residential mortgage-backed and asset-backed and other securities depend on the repayment characteristics and experience of the underlying obligations. 


Note 6 — Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses forward contracts to manage its foreign currency needs and foreign currency exchange risk arising from its assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. While these contracts may mitigate certain foreign currency risk, they are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes and will result in gains and losses. The Company also reports gains and losses from the spread differential between the rate set for its transactions and the actual cost of currency at the time the Company buys or sells in the open market.
The following net gains related to assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included in the “Transaction and operations support” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and in the "Net cash provided by operating activities" line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

The Company's forward contracts are primarily executed with counterparties governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements that generally include standard netting arrangements. Asset and liability positions from forward contracts and all other foreign exchange transactions with the same counterparty are net settled upon maturity.
The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by counterparties to its derivative contracts. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk through the use of credit approvals and credit limits, and by selecting major international banks and financial institutions as counterparties. Collateral generally is not required of the counterparties or of the Company. In the unlikely event the counterparty fails to meet the contractual terms of the derivative contract, the Company’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instrument. The Company has not had any historical instances of non-performance by any counterparties, nor does it anticipate any future instances of non-performance.

The Company's effective interest rate on the senior secured borrowings increased from 4.94% as of5.59% at December 31, 20172018 to 5.49% as of September 30, 2018,5.75% at March 31, 2019 due to an increase in the Eurodollar rate.
The Company’s senior secured credit facility of $901.9 million will mature in March 2020. Over the past few months, the Company has been in discussions with its current lenders and other sources of junior capital to support the reduction and refinancing of its existing credit facility. As of the filing date, we believe our plan will be effectively implemented prior to the maturity of the senior term loan.

Revolving Credit Facility — As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company had no outstanding letters of credit and no borrowings under itsthe revolving credit facility, leaving $85.8and subsequent to the January 31, 2019 amendment, the Company has $45.0 million of availability thereunder.through September 28, 2019.

Debt Covenants and Other Restrictions — Borrowings under the existing credit agreement that provides for the senior secured facility due 2020 and the revolving credit facility are subject to various limitations that restrict the Company’s ability to: incur additional indebtedness; create or incur additional liens; effect mergers and consolidations; make certain acquisitions or investments; sell assets or subsidiary stock; pay dividends and other restricted payments; and effect loans, advances and certain other transactions with affiliates. In addition, the revolving credit facility has covenants that place limitations on the use of proceeds from borrowings under the facility.
The revolving credit facility contains certain financial covenants, in addition to the non-financial covenants described above. The Company is required to maintain asset coverage greater than its payment service obligations. Assets used in the determination of the asset coverage covenant are cash and cash equivalents and settlement assets. The Company's assets in excess of payment service obligations used for the asset coverage calculation, which is equal to total cash and cash equivalents and settlement assets less payment service obligations, are $208.8$129.9 million and $190.0$145.5 million as of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.

Second Lien Term Facility — On May 8, 2019, the Company announced that Bank of America, N.A. arranged a $245.0 million senior secured second lien term facility (the “Second Lien Term Facility”) for MoneyGram. The Second Lien Term Facility will be led by BPC Lending I LLC, an affiliate of Beach Point Capital Management, which has committed to provide the full amount of the Second Lien Term Facility. The Carlyle Group, or an affiliate thereof, will be participating in a portion of the Second Lien Term Facility. The Second Lien Term Facility would bear interest at 13.0% per annum, a portion of which would be payable in kind at the Company’s option, as well as provide for customary fees and an original issue discount. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the Second Lien Term Facility, together with available working capital, to prepay $245.0 million of debt outstanding under the First Lien Term Facility (as defined below).
The closing of the Second Lien Term Facility is conditioned on, among other things, the Company refinancing or extending the maturity date under its existing Revolving Credit Facility and senior secured credit facility (together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “First Lien Facilities”). The refinancing or extension of the First Lien Facilities, the arrangement of which is expected to commence in the near future, together with obtaining the Second Lien Term Facility, are collectively referred to as the “Refinancing.”
Upon the closing of the Second Lien Term Facility, the Company would issue warrants (the “Warrants”) to the lenders under the Second Lien Term Facility representing 8% of the fully diluted then-outstanding common stock of the Company, assuming full conversion of the Company’s Series D Participating Convertible Preferred Stock (the “fully-diluted common stock”). The Company agreed to deliver a portion of the Warrants in connection with the arrangement of the Second Lien Term Facility (representing 1.5% of the fully diluted common stock (the “Initial Warrants”)). Upon the closing of the Second Lien Term Facility, the Initial Warrants would be applied towards, and be a part of (and not in addition to) the Warrants representing 8.0% of the fully-diluted common stock to be delivered to the lenders upon the closing.
The Initial Warrants are required to be delivered to the lenders upon the earliest of (i) the closing of the Second Lien Term Facility, (ii) July 8, 2019 and (iii) the Company’s termination of the financing arrangement (in each case, regardless of whether the Second

Lien Term Facility is funded). In the event the Second Lien Term Facility closes, each Warrant would be exercisable, in whole or in part, at an exercise price equal to $0.01 per share following either (a) a “change of control,” (b) the repayment in full of all amounts outstanding under the Second Lien Term Facility, (c) the maturity date of the Second Lien Term Facility or (d) the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the Second Lien Term Facility. If the Second Lien Term Facility does not close, each Initial Warrant would be exercisable, in whole or in part, at an exercise price equal to $0.01 per share upon the earlier of (i) November 7, 2019 and (ii) a "change of control." All Warrants would expire ten years after the closing of the Second Lien Term Facility.
The Second Lien Term Facility would mature upon the earlier of (i) six years after the closing of the Second Lien Term Facility and (ii) twelve months following the stated maturity date of the refinanced or extended First Lien Term Facility, which is currently expected to mature in five years. The Company’s entry into the Second Lien Term Facility is subject to various conditions, including the refinancing or extension of the First Lien Facilities, the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation with respect to the Second Lien Term Facility and the First Lien Facilities and various customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance as to whether or when the Company will reach an agreement to refinance or extend the First Lien Facilities, the Refinancing will be consummated or the terms of the refinanced or extended First Lien Facilities and Second Lien Term Facility to be included in the Refinancing will be revised in material respects prior to its completion.

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-02 and elected to reclassify the stranded tax effects resulting from the TCJA, which changed the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate on the gross deferred tax amounts and related valuation allowances, among other things. The effect from the rate change resulted in a pension and postretirement benefits adjustment reclassification of $11.4 million from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Retained loss. Additionally, the Company reclassified $3.7 million from cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment to Retained loss related to the rate reduction associated with the taxation of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.

Restricted Stock Units — In March 2018,February 2019, the Company issuedgranted time-based and performance-based restricted stock units. The time-based restricted stock units vest in three equal installments on each anniversary of the grant date. The performance-based restricted stock units are subject to performance conditions that must be satisfied. If such performance conditions are satisfied at the conclusion of a one-year performance period, the performance-based restricted stock units will vest in three equal installments on each anniversary of the grant date. With respect to the performance-based restricted stock units, the number of restricted stock units eligible to vest is based on the performance achievement percentage determined by straight line interpolation using the aggregate of 75% based on Adjusted EBITDA and 25% based on constant currency total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including agent signing bonus amortization) adjusted for certain significant items. Achievement of the threshold performance level in the aggregate for both performance conditions will result in a percentage payout of 50% of the number of performance-based restricted stock units awarded. No performance-based restricted stock units will vest for performance achievement below the thresholds.

Note 11 — Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company recognized an income tax benefitexpense of $5.3$6.6 million on a pre-tax loss of $26.2 million. The recorded income tax benefit differs from taxes calculated at the statutory rate$6.9 million primarily due to non-deductible expenses, U.S. taxation of foreign earnings, the reversal of tax benefits on share-based compensation, partially offset by U.S. tax credits net of valuation allowance. Additionally, as a decreaseresult of $2.4 million to the Company's provisional tax obligation forissuance of the one time transition tax imposedfinal Section 965 regulations by the TCJA as discussedU.S. Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") on January 15, 2019, the Company recorded a discrete tax expense of $0.7 million for an increase in more detail below, along with a $1.5its one-time transition tax.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized income tax expense of $14.8 million net tax benefit relatedon pre-tax income of $21.9 million, primarily due to changes in estimate for both the Company’s 2017 tax credits and tax due on the reorganization of our international business activities, offset by non-deductible expenses, incurred in 2018, including the accrual related to the deferred prosecution agreement (the "DPA"), as discussed in more detail in Note 12 Commitments and Contingencies.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $2.1 million on a pre-tax loss of $9.4 million. The recorded income tax expense differs from taxes calculated at the statutory rate primarily due to the aforementioned items affecting the three months ended September 30, 2018, along with a one-time $3.6 million deferred tax benefit from a reorganization of our corporate structure, and a $1.9 million reduction of foreign uncertain tax positions, offset by the adverse tax consequences related to the new provisions enacted under the TCJA, also known as discussed in more detail herein,H.R. 1 - 115th Congress, which result in multiple taxation of a single item of income.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized income tax expense of $4.0 million and $8.9 million on a pre-tax income of $11.7 million and $31.6 million, respectively. The recorded income tax expense differs from taxes calculated at the statutory rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to a net favorable change in estimate for certain tax credits generated in both 2017 and 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the recorded income tax expense differs from taxes calculated at the statutory rate primarily due to a net tax benefit recognized for the redemption of a previously impaired asset-backed security, a tax benefit on stock-based compensation, and a benefit on the estimated income tax credits generated in 2017. For more information related to the redemption see Note 5 Investment Portfolio.
On December 22, 2017, the TCJA, which significantly revises the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, was enacted. The TCJA, among other things, contains significant changes to the U.S. corporate tax laws, including i) a permanent reduction of the corporate income tax rate, ii) a limitation on the deductibility of business interest expense, iii) a limitation on the deductibility of certain executive compensation and other business expenses, iv) a limitation of the deduction for certain net operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income, v) an indefinite net operating loss carryforward, vi) immediate deductions for new investments in certain business assets instead of deductions for depreciation expense over time, vii) the modification or repeal of many business deductions and credits (including certain foreign tax credits), viii) a shift of the U.S. taxation of multinational corporations from a tax on worldwide income to a modified territorial system (retaining certain existing rules and containing new rules, such as the global intangible low-taxed income provisions, designed to include in the U.S. income tax base certain income generated in non-U.S. territories whether or not that income has been repatriated to the U.S.), ix) a minimum taxing system related to payments deemed to erode the U.S. tax base referred to as a tax on base erosion payments, and x) a one-time tax on accumulated offshore earnings held in cash and illiquid assets (with the latter taxed at a lower rate). As the provisions under the TCJA interact with previously-existing U.S. tax law, separation of income into baskets and required expense allocations can restrict the taxpayer’s ability to credit foreign taxes paid resulting in double taxation. In addition, routine business expenses can be deemed to erode the U.S. tax base. As such, the TCJA has a material impact on our year to date 2018 income tax expense.
The Company has made reasonable estimates of certain effects related to the TCJA and, therefore, has recorded the below provisional amounts for the year ended December 31, 2017.
As a result of the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% under the TCJA, the Company revalued its ending net deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2017 and recognized a provisional $19.8 million tax benefit in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2017, which was provisionally increased to $20.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
The Company recognized a provisional net $3.0 million tax benefit for the remeasurement of previously recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities primarily associated with historical earnings in its foreign subsidiaries, which was provisionally increased to $4.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
As of September 30, 2018, the accounting for certain income tax effects of the TCJA is not complete. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company decreased its provisional tax obligation for the one-time transition tax imposed by the TCJA due to revised estimates of the Company's previously undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, resulting in a tax benefit of $1.7 million recorded in income tax expense. The provisional amounts may change when the Company completes its review and analysis later in 2018 or if additional guidance of the relevant tax code is released.
We continue to examine the impact the TCJA has on the Company, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Until the analysis is complete, the Company will account for the tax effects of global intangible low-tax

income as a component of income tax expense in the period the tax arises, as opposed to recognizing both the current and deferred tax consequences of the related investments in its foreign subsidiaries. The Company is continuing its analysis of the effects of the TCJA and expects to finalize its accounting policy election in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in “Accounts payable and other liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $17.4$18.2 million and $28.7$17.9 million, respectively, exclusive of interest and penalties. For the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, the net amount of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized could impact the effective tax rate was $17.4$18.2 million and $24.7$17.8 million, respectively. The Company accrues interest and penalties for unrecognized tax benefits through “Income tax expense” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, the Company's accrual for interest and penalties decreasedincreased by $1.9$0.3 million and increased by $1.7$0.6 million, respectively. The significant decreases in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were related to a decrease in foreign taxes. As of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company had a liability of $7.0$7.6 million and $8.9$7.3 million, respectively, accrued for interest and penalties within "Accounts payable and other liabilities." As a result of the Company's litigation related to its securities losses previously discussed in more detail in Note 12 — Commitments and Contingencies, it is possible that there could be a significant decrease to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months. However, as of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the expected change to the total amount of unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.

Note 12 — Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings — The matters set forth below are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable. The Company accrues for these matters as any resulting losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated. Further, the Company maintains

insurance coverage for many claims and litigation matters. In relation to various legal matters, including those described below, the Company had $125.5$57.6 million and $85.5$57.5 million of liability recorded in the “Accounts payable and other liabilities” line in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. A nominal charge of $30.0 million and $40.0 million werewas recorded for legal proceedings duringfor the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, in the “Transaction and operations support” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. A nominal charge and a charge of $0.9 million were recorded for legal proceedings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, in the “Transaction and operations support” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Litigation Commenced Against the Company:
Class Action Securities Litigation On November 14, 2018, a putative securities class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against MoneyGram and certain of its executive officers. The lawsuit asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and alleges that MoneyGram made material misrepresentations regarding its compliance with the stipulated order for permanent injunction and final judgment that MoneyGram entered into with the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") in October 2009 and with the deferred prosecution agreement that MoneyGram entered into with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania and the U.S. Department of Justice in November 2012. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, equitable relief, interest, and costs and attorneys’ fees. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter. We are unable to predict the outcome, or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, related to this matter.  
Shareholder Derivative Litigation — On February 19 and 20, 2019, two virtually identical shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The suits, which have since been consolidated, purport to assert claims derivatively on behalf of MoneyGram against MoneyGram’s directors and certain of its executive officers for violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and for common-law breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. The complaints assert that the individual defendants caused MoneyGram to make material misstatements regarding MoneyGram’s compliance with the stipulated order and deferred prosecution agreement described in the preceding paragraph and breached their fiduciary duties in connection with MoneyGram’s compliance programs. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, equitable relief, interest, and costs and attorneys’ fees. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter. We are unable to predict the outcome, or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, related to this matter.
Books and Records Requests — The Company has received multiple requests from various putative shareholders for inspection of books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law relating to the subject matter of the putative class and derivative lawsuits described in the preceding paragraphs. On February 26, 2019, two of these shareholders filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery to compel MoneyGram to produce books and records in accordance with their request. The Company intends to vigorously defend these matters. We are unable to predict the outcome, or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, related to this matter.  
It is possible that additional shareholder lawsuits could be filed relating to the subject matter of the class action, derivative actions and Section 220 requests.
Other MattersThe Company is involved in various other claims and litigation that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of the Company's business. Management does not believe that after final disposition any of these matters is likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Government Investigations:
OFAC — In 2015, we initiated an internal investigation to identify any payments processed by the Company that were violations of the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") sanctions regulations. We notified OFAC of the internal investigation, which was conducted in conjunction with the Company's outside counsel. On March 28, 2017, we filed a Voluntary Self-Disclosure with OFAC regarding the findings of our internal investigation. OFAC is currently reviewing the results of the Company’s investigation. At this time, it is not possible to determine the outcome of this matter, or the significance, if any, to our business, financial condition, or operations, and we cannot predict when OFAC will conclude its review of our Voluntary Self-Disclosure.
Deferred Prosecution Agreement — In November 2012, we announced that a settlement was reached with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania (the "MDPA") and the U.S. Department of Justice, Criminal Division, Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section (the “U.S. DOJ”) relating to the previously disclosed investigation of transactions involving certain of our U.S. and Canadian agents, as well as fraud complaint data and the consumer anti-fraud program, during the period from 2003 to early 2009. In connection with this settlement, we entered into the DPA with the MDPA and U.S. DOJ (collectively, the "Government") dated November 8,9, 2012. 
On November 1, 2017, the Company agreed to a stipulation with the Government that the five-year term of the Company’s DPA be extended for 90 days to February 6, 2018. OnBetween January 31, 2018 the Company agreed with the Government that the term of the DPA be extended for an additional 45 days to March 23, 2018; on March 21, 2018, the Company agreed with the Government that the term of the DPA be further extended for an additional 45 days to May 7, 2018; on May 7, 2018, the Company agreed with the Government that the term of the DPA be further extended for an additional 45 days to June 21, 2018; and on June 19, 2018, the Company agreed with the Government that the term of the DPA be further extended for an additional 90 days to September 18, 2018. On September 14, 2018, the Company agreed to enter into various extensions of the DPA with the Government, thatwith the term of the DPA be further extended for an additional 50 days to and includinglast extension ending on November 6, 2018. Each extension of the DPA extended all terms of the DPA, including the

term of the monitorship for an equivalent period. The purpose of the extensions

was to provide the Company and the Government additional time to discuss whether the Company was in compliance with the DPA.
On November 8, 2018, the Company announced that it entered into (1) an Amendment to and Extension of Deferred Prosecution Agreement (the “Amended DPA”) with the Government and (2) a Stipulated Order for Compensatory Relief and Modified Order for Permanent Injunction (the “Consent Order”) with the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”).FTC. The motions underlying the Amended DPA and Consent Order focus primarily on the Company’s anti-fraud and anti-money laundering programs, including whether the Company had adequate controls to prevent third parties from using its systems to commit fraud. The Amended DPA amended and extended the original DPA entered into on November 9, 2012 by and between the Company and the Government. The DPA, Amended DPA and Consent Order are collectively referred to herein as the “Agreements.”
Under the Agreements, the Company will, among other things, (1) pay an aggregate amount of $125.0 million to the Government, of which $70.0 million must bewas paid within ten business days from the date of the Amended DPAin November 2018 and the remaining $55.0 million must be paid by May 8, 2020, eighteen months after the date of the Amended DPA, to be usedand is being made available to reimburse consumers who were the victims of third-party fraud conducted through the Company’s money transfer services, and (2) continue to retain an independent compliance monitor until May 10, 2021 to review and assess actions taken by the Company under the Agreements to further enhance its compliance program. No separate payment to the FTC is required under the Agreements. If the Company fails to comply with the Agreements, it could face criminal prosecution, civil litigation, significant fines, damage awards or regulatory consequences which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
NYDFS — On June 22, 2018, the Company received a request for production of documents from the New York Department of Financial Services (the “NYDFS”) related to the subject of the DPA and FTC matters described above. This request followed previous inquiries by the NYDFS regarding certain of our New York based agents. Following the June 22, 2018 request for production, the Company received and responded to several inquiries from the NYDFS related to this matter. The NYDFS did not indicate what, if any, action it intended to take in connection with this matter, although it is possible that it could seek additional information, initiate civil litigation and/or seek to impose fines, damages or other regulatory consequences, any or all of which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company is unable to predict the outcome, or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that could be associated with this matter.
Other Matters — The Company is involved in various other government inquiries and other matters that arise from time to time. Management does not believe that after final disposition any of these other matters is likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Actions Commenced by the Company:
Tax Litigation — The IRS completed its examination of the Company’s consolidated income tax returns through 2013 and issued Notices of Deficiency for 2005-2007 and 2009, and an Examination Report for 2008. The Notices of Deficiency and Examination Report disallow, among other items, approximately $900.0 million of ordinary deductions on securities losses in the 2007, 2008 and 2009 tax returns. In May 2012 and December 2012, the Company filed petitions in the U.S. Tax Court challenging the 2005-2007 and 2009 Notices of Deficiency, respectively. In 2013, the Company reached a partial settlement with the IRS allowing ordinary loss treatment on $186.9 million of deductions in dispute. In January 2015, the U.S. Tax Court granted the IRS's motion for summary judgment upholding the remaining adjustments in the Notices of Deficiency. The Company filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Tax Court on July 27, 2015 for an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Oral arguments were held before the Fifth Circuit on June 7, 2016, and on November 15, 2016, the Fifth Circuit vacated the Tax Court's decision and remanded the case to the Tax Court for further proceedings. The Company filed a motion for summary judgment in the Tax Court on May 31, 2017. On August 23, 2017, the IRS filed a motion for summary judgment and its response to the Company’s motion for summary judgment. The Tax Court directed the parties to agree to a joint stipulation of facts, which the parties have filed with the court. Each party has since filed a revised memorandumupdated memorandums in support of its motionmotions for summary judgment in the Tax Court. The Tax Court is expected to schedule oral argument on this matter in early 2019.mid-2019.
The January 2015 Tax Court decision was a change in facts which warranted reassessment of the Company's uncertain tax position. Although the Company believes that it has substantive tax law arguments in favor of its position and has appealed the ruling, the reassessment resulted in the Company determining that it is no longer more likely than not that its existing position will be sustained. Accordingly, the Company re-characterized certain deductions relating to securities losses to be capital in nature, rather than ordinary. The Company recorded a full valuation allowance against these losses in the quarter ended March 31, 2015. This change increased "Income tax expense" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2015 by $63.7 million. During 2015, the Company made payments to the IRS of $61.0 million for federal tax payments and associated interest related to the matter. The November 2016 Fifth Circuit decision to remand the case back to the U.S. Tax Court does not change the Company’s current assessment regarding the likelihood that these deductions will be sustained. Accordingly, no change in the valuation allowance was made as of September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. Pending the outcome of the Tax Court proceeding, the Company may be required to file amended state returns and make additional cash payments of up to $19.2$19.7 million on amounts that have previously been accrued.


Note 13 — Earnings per Common Share
For all periods in which it is outstanding, the Series D Participating Convertible Preferred Stock (the "D Stock") is included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding utilized to calculate basic (loss) earnings per common share because the D Stock is deemed a common stock equivalent. Diluted (loss) earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could result if securities or incremental shares arising out of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans were exercised or

converted into common stock. Diluted (loss) earnings per common share assumes the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method.
The following table is a reconciliation of the weighted-average amounts used in calculating (loss) earnings per share:

Potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share when the effect would be anti-dilutive. All potential common shares are anti-dilutive in periods of net loss available to common stockholders. Stock options are anti-dilutive when the exercise price of these instruments is greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period. The following table summarizes the weighted-average potential common shares excluded from diluted (loss) earnings per common share as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

Note 14 — Segment Information
The Company’s reporting segments are primarily organized based on the nature of products and services offered and the type of consumer served. The Company has two reporting segments: Global Funds Transfer and Financial Paper Products. SeeNote 1Description of the Business and Basis offor Presentation for further discussion on our segments.One of the Company's agents Walmart Inc. is our only agent, for the total ofboth the Global Funds Transfer segment and the Financial Paper Products segmentssegment, that accounts for more than 10% of total revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, Walmart accounted for 16% and 17%, respectively, of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, and 18% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.revenue.

(1) In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company's management determined that there was an error with respect to the allocation of certain expenses between the reporting segments in the first three quarters of 2017. The Company assessed the materiality of the misstatement both quantitatively and qualitatively and determined that the error was immaterial to all prior consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect the correction of the error. This correction resulted in a decrease to Global Funds Transfer operating income of $6.1 million, an increase to Financial Paper Products operating income of $0.1 million and a decrease to Other operating loss of $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This correction also resulted in a decrease to Global Funds Transfer operating income of $9.4 million, an increase to Financial Paper Products operating income of $0.2 million and a decrease to Other operating loss of $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. There was no impact on total operating income or other reported financial statement amount.
Total assets by segment In the second quarter of 2018, the Company changed its accounting policy related to the presentation of segment assets to be aligned with a change in the reporting package provided to our Chief Operating Decision Maker. The presentation change had no impact on the segments' operations. Under the new policy, payment service obligations are specifically identified to each reporting segment. Settlement assets, except for interest-bearing and available-for-sale investments which belong to the Financial Paper Product segment, are allocated to cover the segments' corresponding payment service obligations. Reported cash and cash equivalents, which are the assets in excess of payment service obligations as further discussed in Note 7 Debt, are used by the Global Funds Transfer segment to fulfill its working capital needs. Property and equipment is specifically identified to each reporting segment. The net carrying value of goodwill and intangibles relates to the Global Funds Transfer segment. While the derivatives portfolio is managed on a consolidated level, each derivative instrument is utilized in a manner that can be identified to the Global Funds Transfer segment. All assets that are not specifically identified or allocated to a reporting segment are reported as "Other.” These assets primarily include taxes and various other corporate assets.

Note 15 — Revenue Recognition
In the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 using the cumulative effect transition method for all contracts. There was no transition impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the adoption of this ASU. The Company earns revenues from consideration specified in contracts with customers and recognizes revenue when it satisfies its performance obligations by transferring control over its services and products to customers. The following table is a descriptionsummary of the principal activities, separated by reporting segments, from which the Company generates revenues. For more information about the Company's reporting segments, see Note 14 — Segment Information.
Global Funds Transfer Segment
Money transfer fee revenue The Company earns money transfer revenues primarily from consumer transaction fees and the management of currency exchange spreads on money transfer transactions involving different “send” and “receive” currencies. Fees are collected from consumers at the time of transaction. In a cash-to-cash money transfer transaction, both the agent initiating the transaction and the receiving agent earn a commission that is generally a fixed fee or is based on a percentage of the fee charged to the consumer. When a money transfer transaction is initiated at a MoneyGram-owned store, full-service kiosk or via our online

platform, typically only the receiving agent earns a commission. Each money transfer is considered a separate agreement between the Company and the consumer and includes only one performance obligation that is satisfied at a point in time, which is when the funds are made available for pick up. Money transfer funds are typically available for pick up within 24 hours of being sent. The consumer is in control of the service, as the consumer picks the "send" and "receive" locations as well as the transaction currency. Normally, the Company provides fee refunds to consumers only if the transaction is canceled within 30 minutes of initiating the transfer and the transfer amount has not been picked up by the receiver. As such, fee refunds are accounted for within the same period as the origination of the transaction and no liability for the amount of expected returns is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes revenues on a gross basis for money transfer services as the Company is considered the principal in these transactions.
Bill payment services fee revenue — Bill payment revenues are earned primarily from fees charged to consumers for each transaction completed. Our primary bill payment service offering is our ExpressPayment service, which we offer at substantially all of our money transfer agent locations, at certain agent locations in select Caribbean and European countries and through our Digital solutions. Through our bill payment services, consumers can complete urgent bill payments, pay routine bills, or load and reload prepaid debit cards with cash at an agent location, Company-operated locations or through moneygram.com with a credit or debit card. We offer consumers same-day and two or three-day payment service options; the service option is dependent upon our agreement with the biller. Each bill payment service is considered a separate agreement with the consumer and includes only one performance obligation that is satisfied at a point in time, when the funds are transferred to the designated institution, which is generally within the same day. The consumer is in control of the service, as the consumer picks out the "send" location and time. MoneyGram does not offer refunds for bill payment services and revenue is recognized on a gross basis as the Company is considered the principal in these transactions.
Other revenue — Includes breakage income, fees from royalties, early contract terminations, insufficient funds and other one-time charges. The Company recognizes breakage revenue for unclaimed money transfers when the likelihood of consumer pick-up becomes remote based on historical experience and there is no requirement for remitting balances to government agencies.
Financial Paper Products Segment
Money order fee revenue — Consumers use our money orders to make payments in lieu of cash or personal checks. We generate revenue from money orders by charging per item and other fees, as well as from the investment of funds underlying outstanding money orders. The Company contracts with agents and/or financial institutions for this product and associated services. We sell money orders under the MoneyGram brand and on a private label or on a co-branded basis with certain agents and financial institutions in the U.S. The Company recognizes revenue when an agent sells a money order because the funds are immediately made available to the consumer. As such, each sale of a money order and related service is considered a separate performance obligation that is satisfied at a point in time.
Official check outsourcing services fee revenue — Official checks are used by consumers where a payee requires a check drawn on a bank. Financial institutions also use official checks to pay their own obligations. Like money orders, the Company generates revenue from official check outsourcing services through U.S. banks and credit unions by charging per item and other fees, as well as from the investment of funds underlying outstanding official checks. The Company’s consumer for official checks is considered the financial institution. The official checks services and products are considered a bundle of services and products that are provided to the financial institution on an ongoing basis. As such, revenue from these services is recognized on a monthly basis. Revenue corresponds directly with the value of MoneyGram's services and/or products completed to date and for which the Company has a right to invoice. Monthly revenue may vary based on the number of official checks issued and other ancillary services provided to the financial institution.
Other revenueIncludes fees from money order service revenue, proof adjustments, early contract terminations, money order photo and replacement fees and other one-time charges. The Company recognizes service revenue from money orders that have not been redeemed within a one-year period from issuance. Proof adjustment fees are generally unresolved and not recouped as they pertain to immaterial bank variances. The Company recognizes as revenue the net proof adjustments amount on a monthly basis.
Investment Revenue
Investment revenue, which is not within the scope of Topic 606 per ASC 606-10-15-2, is earned from the investment of funds generated from the sale of payment instruments, primarily official checks and money orders, and consists of interest income, dividend income, income received on our cost recovery securities and amortization of premiums and discounts. Investment revenue varies depending on the level of investment balances and the yield on our investments.

In the following table, revenue isstreams disaggregated by services and products for each segment and timing of revenue recognition for such services and products excluding other revenue:

Due to the short-term nature of the Company's services and products, the amount of contract assets and liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20172018, is negligible. Assets for unsettled money transfers, money orders and consumer payments are included in "Settlement assets" with a corresponding liability recorded in "Payment service obligations" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For more information on these assets and liabilities see Note 3 — Settlement Assets and Payment Service Obligations.

Note 16 — Leases
The Company's leases consist primarily of operating leases for buildings, equipment and vehicles. Upon adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company recognized an operating lease liability of $57.1 million and a Right-of-Use ("ROU") operating asset of $53.9 million. The lease liability is calculated based on the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases and the ROU asset is calculated the same as the lease liability, but it includes $3.2 million of accrued rent as of December 31, 2018. The ROU asset is presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as part of "Other assets" and the lease liability is included in "Accounts payable and other liabilities." The amortization of the ROU asset and changes in the lease liability are presented as part of "Change in other assets" and "Change in accounts payable and other liabilities," respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had an ROU asset of $49.6 million and a lease liability of $53.0 million on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We elected the package of practical expedients, which permitted us to not reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We did not elect the use of the hindsight practical expedient or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements, as the latter was not applicable to us. We also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, we did not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for our real estate and vehicle leases.
The Company's various noncancellable operating leases for buildings, equipment and vehicles terminate through 2028. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. As of March 31, 2019, the leases had a weighted-average remaining lease term of 4.6 years. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company utilized the portfolio approach in determining the discount rate. The portfolios were grouped based on lease type and geographical location. As of March 31, 2019, the weighted-average discount rate was 4.5%.
The Company recognizes rent expense for operating leases under the straight-line method over the term of the lease where differences between the monthly cash payments and the lease expense are offset to the ROU asset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease expense for buildings and equipment is included in the “Occupancy, equipment and supplies” line on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, while lease expense for our vehicles is included in the "Compensation and benefits" line. Some of the Company's building leases include rent expense that is associated with an index or a rate. Subsequent changes from the original index or rate would be treated as variable lease expense. Furthermore, future changes to the non-lease components of our real estate and vehicle leases will be treated as variable lease expenses. Tenant improvements are capitalized as leasehold improvements and depreciated over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or 10 years.

OVERVIEWOverview
MoneyGram is a leading global provider offinancial technology company that provides innovative services around the world. Our money transfer services connect family and is recognized worldwide as a financial connectionfriends through an omnichannel network designed to friendsdeliver unparalleled choice and family.convenience. Whether online, through aour mobile device, atapplication, moneygram.com, integration with mobile wallets, a kiosk, or any one of the thousands of agent locations in a local store,more than 200 countries and territories, we connect consumers in any way that isways designed to be convenient for them. We also provide bill payment services, issue money orders and process official checks in the U.S. and in select countries and territories. We primarily offer our services and products through third-party agents and directly to consumers through our Digital solutions. Third-party agents include retail chains, independent retailers, post offices and financial institutions. Digital solutions include moneygram.com, mobile solutions, account deposit and kiosk-based services. MoneyGram also has a limited number of Company-operated retail locations.
We manage our revenue and related commissions expense through two reporting segments: Global Funds Transfer and Financial Paper Products. The Global Funds Transfer segment provides global money transfer services in approximately 350,000 agent locations in more than 200 countries and territories.locations. Our global money transfer services are our primary revenue driver, accounting for 88%87% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.March 31, 2019. The Global Funds Transfer segment also provides bill payment services to consumers through substantially all of our money transfer agent locations, at certain agent locations in select Caribbean and European countries and through our Digital solutions. The Financial Paper Products segment provides money order services to consumers through retail locations and financial institutions located in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and provides official check services to financial institutions in the U.S. Corporate expenses that are not related to our segments' performance are excluded from operating income for Global Funds Transfer and Financial Paper Products segments.
Business Environment
In 2018, worldwideWorldwide political and economic conditions remained highly variable,dynamic, as evidenced by both economic growth and challengespolitical unrest in key markets, low currency reserves, currency controls in certain countries and a volatile immigration environment. Also, there is continued political unrest and economic weakness in parts of the Middle East and Africa that contributed to the volatility. Given the global reach and extent of the current political and economic conditions, the growth of money transfer volumes and the average face value of money transfers continuedcontinue to be highly variable by corridor and country.country, but the overall remittance market continues to grow as indicated by the World Bank.
The competitive environment continues to change as both established players and new, digital-only entrants work to innovate and deliver a superior customer experience to win market share. Our competitors include a small number of large money transfer and bill payment providers, financial institutions, banks and a large number of small niche money transfer service providers that serve select regions. We generally compete for money transfer consumers on the basis of trust, convenience,the customer experience, the ability to conduct both digital and cash transactions, price, technologythe quantity and brand recognition. The market for money transfer services remains very competitive, consistingquality of a few large competitorsour agent network, commission payments and many small, niche competitors. In the third quarter of 2018, MoneyGram entered into new partnerships with OXXO and Visa Direct. OXXO is Mexico’s largest convenience store retailer with more than 17,000 locations across the country. Visa Direct is Visa’s real-time push payments platform and our partnership will give customers the choice to receive funds either directly into their bank account or to a Visa prepaid card. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company and Walmart Inc. (“Walmart”), our largest agent, announced the launch of Walmart2World, powered by MoneyGram, a new money transfer service that allows customers to send money from Walmart in the U.S. to any MoneyGram location. The Company expects the Walmart2World products to continue to have a negative impact on our top-line growth due to lower revenue per transaction, but we expect this negative impact to be partially offset by the new OXXO and Visa Direct partnerships. We also renewed our long-term agreement to offer all MoneyGram products and services at Walmart for two more years.marketing efforts.
In addition to the changes in the competitive environment, global compliance requirements are becoming increasingly more complex, which has been affecting our top line growth. In 2018, the Company launched new compliance measures representing the highest standards in the industry, including new global customer verification standards for all money transfer services, limits on transaction frequency

and limits on the total amount of money an individual can send within a certain period of time. As a result, the Company has experienced a decline in its fraud rates when compared to prior years. We continue to enhance our compliance tools to comply with various government and other regulatory programs around the world, as well as address corridor specific risks associated with fraud or money laundering. In 2018, the Company launched new compliance measures including new global customer verification standards for all money transfer services, limits on transaction frequency and limits on the total amount of money an individual can send within a certain period of time. Additionally, in 2018, the Company and Walmart, our largest agent, announced the launch of Walmart2World, Powered by MoneyGram, a new white-label money transfer service that allows customers to send money from

Walmart in the U.S. to any non-U.S. MoneyGram location. This white label product was introduced at a lower price point than our previous relationship with Walmart, which resulted in lower revenue per transaction. Both of these 2018 initiatives negatively impacted our top-line growth in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to the first quarter of 2018.
We are making progress on our journey toward becoming a digitally-enabled, customer-centric organization despite competition from new technologies that allow consumershave been and continue to send and receive money in a variety of ways. We believe that our continued investmentinvest in innovative products and services, such as the global expansion of moneygram.com, mobile solutions andincluding our new application, integration with mobile wallets, account deposit services positionsand kiosk-based services, to position the Company to accelerate our digital transformation and diversify our product and service offerings to meet consumers' needs. Furthermore, we believe that combining our cash and digital capabilities enables us to differentiate against digital-only competitors who are not able to serve a significant portion of the remittance market that relies on cash.
We are making progress toward becoming a digitally-enabled, customer-centric organization to better position the Company to compete with new entrants focused solely on digital money transfer solutions. As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company had expanded its moneygram.com product platformnative application to be available in 16 countries and it is expected to reach 25 countries by the end of 2018.17 countries. Digital solutions revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $49.5$44.2 million and $156.2$53.4 million, respectively, or 16% of money transfer revenue for each period. Digital solutionsrevenue. Moneygram.com revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $52.7 million and $155.9 million, respectively, or 15% of money transfer revenue for each period. Moneygram.com revenue grewMarch 31, 2019 decreased by $0.7$3.9 million or 3% and $8.6 million or 14%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,16% over the corresponding periods in 2017.2018.
In the first quarter of 2018, the Company initiated a restructuring and reorganization program (the "Digitalthe Digital Transformation Program")Program to modernize the business, reduce operating expenses, focus on improving efficiency and profitability and better align the organization to deliver new digital touch-points for customers and agents. In connection withThe Digital Transformation Program was substantially completed in the first quarter of 2019. See Note 2 Restructuring and Reorganization Costs of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosure related to the Digital Transformation Program, which is expected to be substantially completed in 2019, the Company expects over 350 employees to be affected, possibly through transfers or terminations, representing approximately 14% of the Company’s global workforce as of December 31, 2017. The Company expects to incur restructuring and reorganization charges between $16.5 million to $19.5 million, consisting primarily of severance and outplacement benefits (between $12.0 million to $12.5 million), real estate lease termination and other associated costs (between $3.0 million to $3.5 million), legal and other costs (between $1.0 million to $2.5 million), and reorganization costs (between $0.5 million to $1.0 million). Additionally, the Company anticipates between $14.0 million to $17.0 million of the charges to be paid in cash over the course of 2018 and into 2019. We expect efficiencies that will result in $30.0 million of expense reductions in 2018 and, upon completion, $45.0 million on an annualized basis.Program. The actual timing and costs of the plan may differ from the Company’s current expectations and estimates.
Anticipated Trends
This discussion of trends expected to impact our business in the remainder of 2018 is based on information presently available The Company’s operating expenses, excluding commissions and reflects certain assumptions, including assumptions regarding future economic conditions. Differences in actual economic conditions compared with our assumptions could have a material impact on our results. See “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included further below and “Risk Factors” included in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-Kdirect transaction expenses, decreased by $42.9 million for the yearthree months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017 for additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those contemplated by the following forward-looking statements.
We continue to see increased opportunities to capitalize on growth and expansion through product and service offerings. The Company is growing its digital footprint through the introduction of new countries for the moneygram.com platform, new partnerships, and the introduction of new ways to send and receive money. Furthermore, the Company is expanding its online presence through the continued growth of its new native app. MoneyGram is also enhancing its customer interface to provide a more personalized consumer experience. The personalized experience will include notifications through email and SMS text, profile services,2019, as well as a new loyalty program. However, compliance measures and pricing pressure continue to negatively impact our growth, along with economic issues in the Middle East and Africa, which have restricted our ability to transact in certain markets. Additionally, currency volatility, liquidity pressure on central banks and pressure on labor markets in certain countries may continue to impact our business during the remainder of 2018 and into 2019.
We continue to see a trend among state, federal and international regulators toward enhanced scrutiny of anti-money laundering compliance programs, as well as consumer fraud prevention and education. Compliance with laws and regulations is a highly complex and integral part of our day-to-day operations; thus, we have and will continue to make investments in our compliance-related technology and infrastructure, implement various consumer protection initiatives, and enhance the overall customer experience. As previously discussed, in the first half of 2018, the Company launched new compliance measures representing the highest standards in the industry. As a pioneer in the implementation of these compliance and fraud prevention measures, the Company has seen, and expects to continue to see, a negative impact on our top-line and Adjusted EBITDA growth in 2018.
The Company expects to have sufficient liquidity to make the $125.0 million payment required under the Amendment to and Extension of Deferred Prosecution Agreement (the “Amended DPA”) and the Stipulated Order for Compensatory Relief and Modified Order for Permanent Injunction described in more detail in Note 12 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Notescompared to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and in Part II, Item 1, "Legal Proceedings" in this report. Nonetheless, the

payment will impact the Company’s cash balances.As disclosed, the Company is required to pay $70.0 million within ten business days of the Amended DPA and the remaining $55.0 million eighteenthree months after the date of the Amended DPA.
On December 22, 2017, the legislation commonly known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” and also known as H.R. 1 - 115th Congress (the “TCJA”), which significantly revises the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, was enacted. As the TCJA is broad and complex, we continue to examine the impact it may have on us, and it could adversely affect our future effective tax rate, our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations. Given its recent enactment, the regulations are still forthcoming and other interpretive federal and state guidance is limited. As guidance is published regarding the interpretation of the TCJA or if there are legislative modifications or amendments, the changes could have a material effect on the Company's federal and state income tax expense in future periods. See "Income Taxes" section further below and Note 11 — Income Taxes of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the impacts from the TCJA.ended March 31, 2018.
The June 23, 2016 referendum by British voters to exit the European Union (referred to as Brexit), which was followed by Britain providing official notice to leave the European Union in March of 2017, introduced additional uncertainty in global markets and currency exchange rates. We are currently unable to determine the long-term impact that Brexit will have on us, as any impact will depend, in part, on the outcome of tariff, trade, regulatory and other negotiations. With the effective date of Brexit approaching asAs the UK is dueexpected to leave the European Union in the firstsecond quarter of 2019, the Company anticipates makingmade a number of operational changes during the remainder of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019 to accommodate any potential business impact.
Anticipated Trends
This discussion of trends expected to impact our business in 2019 is based on information presently available and reflects certain assumptions, including assumptions regarding future economic conditions. Differences in actual economic conditions compared with our assumptions could have a material impact on our results. See “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those contemplated by the following forward-looking statements.
In 2018, MoneyGram focused on positioning the company to better compete by building and expanding customer-centric digital capabilities, modernizing operations and expense structures, de-risking the business to better protect consumers and expanding our product offerings. In 2019, we believe the industry will continue to see a number of trends continue: the growth of digital transactions, the importance of customer experience and geopolitical volatility. To position the Company to respond to these trends, we are focused on our strategy to deliver a differentiated customer experience, capitalize on the strength of our leading digital and physical footprint, accelerate growth in key regions and identify new areas of growth.
We continue to see increased opportunities to capitalize on growth and expansion through product and service offerings. The Company is growing its digital footprint through the introduction of new countries for the moneygram.com platform, new partnerships and the introduction of new ways to send and receive money. Furthermore, the Company is expanding its online presence through the continued growth of its new native application and we expect to have it available in 26 countries in the first half of 2019.
We expect compliance measures, pricing pressure and competition to be a continuous challenge in 2019. Furthermore, economic issues in Africa have restricted our ability to transact in certain markets. Currency volatility, liquidity pressure on central banks and pressure on labor markets in specific countries may also continue to impact our business in 2019.
For our Financial Paper Products segment, we expect the decline in overall paper-based transactions to continue primarily due to continued migration by customers to other payment methods. Our investment revenue, which consists primarily of interest income generated through the investment of cash balances received from the sale of our Financial Paper Products, is dependent on the interest rate environment. The Company would see a positive impact on its investment revenue if interest rates continue to rise. As interest rates also affect the payments we make for interest on our credit facility, our liquidity would be negatively impacted by the continued rise in interest rates. Furthermore, we have begun the process of refinancing our long-term debt, which could also impact our interest expense in 2019.

The Company’s senior secured credit facility of $901.9 million will mature in March 2020. Over the past few months, the Company has been in discussions with its current lenders and other sources of junior capital to support the reduction and refinancing of its existing credit facility. On May 8, 2019, the Company announced that Bank of America, N.A. arranged a $245.0 million senior secured second lien term facility led by Beach Point Capital Management. The net proceeds from this new financing will be used by the Company to prepay its existing senior secured credit facility. See Note 7 — Debt of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosure related to the Second Lien Term Facility.
Financial Measures and Key Metrics
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP") as well as certain non-GAAP financial measures that we use to assess our overall performance.
GAAP Measures We utilize certain financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP to assess the Company's overall performance. These measures include fee and other revenue, fee and other commissions expense, fee and other revenue less commissions, operating income and operating margin. Due to our regulatory capital requirements, we deem certain assets as settlement assets. Settlement assets represent funds received or to be received from agents for unsettled money transfers, money orders and customer payments. Settlement assets include settlement cash and cash equivalents, receivables, net, interest-bearing investments and available-for-sale investments. See Note 3 — Settlement Assets and Payment Service Obligations of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosure.
Non-GAAP Measures Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We strongly encourage investors and stockholders to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. While we believe that these metrics enhance investors' understanding of our business, these metrics are not necessarily comparable with similarly named metrics of other companies. The following are non-GAAP financial measures we use to assess our overall performance:
EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including agent signing bonus amortization)
Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA adjusted for certain significant items) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness or tax payments that may result in a reduction in cash available.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest, cash taxes, cash payments for capital expenditures and cash payments for agent signing bonuses) Adjusted Free Cash Flow does not reflect cash payments related to the adjustment of certain significant items in Adjusted EBITDA.
Constant Currency Constant currency metrics assume that amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the U.S. dollar at rates consistent with those in the prior year.
The Company utilizes specific terms related to our business throughout this document, including the following:
Corridor With regard to a money transfer transaction, the originating "send" location and the designated "receive" location are referred to as a corridor.

Corridor mix The relative impact of increases or decreases in money transfer transaction volume in each corridor versus the comparative prior period.
Face value The principal amount of each completed transaction, excluding any fees related to the transaction.
Foreign currency The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on our financial results is typically calculated as the difference between current period activity translated using the current period’s currency exchange rates and the comparable prior-year period’s currency exchange rates. We use this method to calculate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on revenues, commissions and other operating expenses for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Constant Currency
We believe that EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including agent signing bonus amortization), Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA adjusted for certain significant items), Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest, cash taxes, cash payments for capital expenditures and cash payments for agent signing bonuses) and constant currency measures (which assume that amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the U.S. dollar at rates consistent with those in the prior year) provide useful information to investors because they are indicators of the strength and performance of our 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. In addition, our debt agreements require compliance with covenants that incorporate a financial measure similar to Adjusted EBITDA.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and constant currency are financial and performance measures used by management in reviewing results of operations, forecasting, allocating resources and establishing employee incentive programs. We also present Adjusted EBITDA growth, constant currency adjusted, which provides information to investors regarding MoneyGram's performance without the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations year-over-year.
Although we believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and constant currency measures enhance investors' understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the accompanying GAAP financial measures. These metrics are not necessarily comparable with similarly named metrics of other companies.

The following table is a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the related GAAP financial measures:

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash flows generated by the sale of our payment instruments, our cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing investment balances, and proceeds from our investment portfolio and credit capacity under our credit facilities.portfolio. Our primary operating liquidity needs are related to the settlement of payment service obligations to our agents and financial institution customers, general operating expenses and debt service.
To meet our payment service obligations at all times, we must have sufficient highly liquid assets and be able to move funds globally on a timely basis. On average, we receive in and pay out a similar amount of funds on a daily basis to collect and settle the principal amount of our payment instruments sold and related fees and commissions with our end consumers and agents. This pattern of cash flows allows us to settle our payment service obligations through existing cash balances and ongoing cash generation rather than liquidating investments or utilizing our revolving credit facility. We have historically generated, and expect to continue generating, sufficient cash flows from daily operations to fund ongoing operational needs.
We preposition cash in various countries and currencies to facilitate settlement of transactions. We also maintain funding capacity beyond our daily operating needs to provide a cushion through the normal fluctuations in our payment service obligations, as well as to provide working capital for the operational and growth requirements of our business. We believe we have sufficient liquid assets and funding capacity to operate and grow our business for the next 12 months. Should our liquidity needs exceed our operating cash flows, we believe that external financing sources, including availability under our credit facilities,facility, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated funding requirements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Interest-bearing Investments

("Fitch"); and in AAA rated U.S. government money market funds. If the rating agencies have split ratings, the Company uses the lower of the highest two out of three ratings across the agencies for disclosure purposes. If the institution has only two ratings, the Company uses the lower of the two ratings for disclosure purposes. As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents (including

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The matters set forth below are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable. The Company accrues for these matters as any resulting losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated. Further, the Company maintains insurance coverage for many claims and litigation matters.
Litigation Commenced Against the Company:
Class Action Securities Litigation On November 14, 2018, a putative securities class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against MoneyGram and certain of its executive officers. The lawsuit asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and alleges that MoneyGram made material misrepresentations regarding its compliance with the stipulated order for permanent injunction and final judgment that MoneyGram entered into with the Federal Trade Commission in October 2009 and with the deferred prosecution agreement that MoneyGram entered into with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania and the U.S. Department of Justice in November 2012. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, equitable relief, interest, and costs and attorneys’ fees. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter. We are unable to predict the outcome, or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, related to this matter.  
Shareholder Derivative Litigation — On February 19 and 20, 2019, two virtually identical shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The suits, which have since been consolidated, purport to assert claims derivatively on behalf of MoneyGram against MoneyGram’s directors and certain of its executive officers for violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and for common-law breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. The complaints assert that the individual defendants caused MoneyGram to make material misstatements regarding MoneyGram’s compliance with the stipulated order and deferred prosecution agreement described in the preceding paragraph and breached their fiduciary duties in connection with MoneyGram’s compliance programs. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, equitable relief, interest, and costs and attorneys’ fees. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter. We are unable to predict the outcome, or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, related to this matter.
Books and Records Requests — The Company has received multiple requests from various putative shareholders for inspection of books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law relating to the subject matter of the putative class and derivative lawsuits described in the preceding paragraphs. On February 26, 2019, two of these shareholders filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery to compel MoneyGram to produce books and records in accordance with their request. The Company intends to vigorously defend these matters. We are unable to predict the outcome, or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, related to this matter.  
It is possible that additional shareholder lawsuits could be filed relating to the subject matter of the class action, derivative actions and Section 220 requests.
Other MattersThe Company is involved in various other claims and litigation that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of the Company's business. Management does not believe that after final disposition any of these matters is likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Government Investigations:
OFAC — In 2015, we initiated an internal investigation to identify any payments processed by the Company that were violations of OFAC sanctions regulations. We notified OFAC of the ongoing internal investigation, which was conducted in conjunction with the Company's outside counsel. On March 28, 2017, we filed a Voluntary Self-Disclosure with OFAC regarding the findings of our internal investigation. OFAC is currently reviewing the results of the Company’s investigation. At this time, it is not possible to determine the outcome of this matter, or the significance, if any, to our business, financial condition or results of operations, and we cannot predict when OFAC will conclude its review of our Voluntary Self-Disclosure.
Deferred Prosecution Agreement — In November 2012, we announced that a settlement was reached with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania (the "MDPA") and the U.S. Department of Justice, Criminal Division, Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section (the “U.S. DOJ”) relating to the previously disclosed investigation of transactions involving certain of our U.S. and Canadian agents, as well as fraud complaint data and the consumer anti-fraud program, during the period from 2003 to early 2009. In connection with this settlement, we entered into the deferred prosecution agreement (the "DPA")DPA with the MDPA and U.S. DOJ (collectively, the "Government") dated November 9, 2012. 
On November 1, 2017, the Company agreed to a stipulation with the Government that the five-year term of the Company’s DPA be extended for 90 days to February 6, 2018. OnBetween January 31, 2018 the Company agreed with the Government that the term of the DPA be extended for an additional 45 days to March 23, 2018; on March 21, 2018, the Company agreed with the Government that the term of the DPA be further extended for an additional 45 days to May 7, 2018; on May 7, 2018, the Company agreed with the Government that the term of the DPA be further extended for an additional 45 days to June 21, 2018; and on June 19, 2018, the Company agreed with the Government that the term of the DPA be further extended for an additional 90 days to September 18, 2018. On September 14, 2018, the Company agreed to enter into various extensions of the DPA with the Government, thatwith the term of the DPA be further extended for an additional 50 days to and includinglast extension ending on November 6, 2018. Each extension of the DPA extended all terms of the DPA, including the term of the monitorship for an equivalent period. The purpose of the extensions

was to provide the Company and the Government additional time to discuss whether the Company was in compliance with the DPA.
On November 8, 2018, the Company announced that it entered into (1) an Amendment to and Extension of Deferred Prosecution Agreement (the “Amended DPA”) with the Government and (2) a Stipulated Order for Compensatory Relief and Modified Order for Permanent Injunction (the “Consent Order”) with the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”(“FTC”). BothThe motions underlying the Amended DPA and Consent Order focus primarily on the Company’s anti-fraud and anti-money laundering programs, including whether the Company had adequate controls to prevent third parties from using its systems to commit fraud. The Amended DPA amended and extended the original DPA entered into on November 9, 2012 by and between the Company and the Government. The DPA, Amended DPA and Consent Order are subjectcollectively referred to court approval.herein as the “Agreements.”
Under the Agreements, the Company will, among other things, (1) pay an aggregate amount of $125.0 million to the Government, of which $70.0 million must bewas paid within ten business days from the date of the Amended DPAin November 2018 and the remaining $55.0 million must be paid by May 8, 2020, eighteen months after the date of the Amended DPA, which will beand is being made available to reimburse consumers who were the victims of third-party fraud conducted through the Company’s money transfer services, and (2) continue to retain an independent compliance monitor until May 10, 2021 to review and assess actions taken by the Company under the Agreements to further enhance its compliance program. No separate payment to the FTC is required under the Agreements. If the Company fails to comply with the Agreements, it could face criminal prosecution, civil litigation, significant fines, damage awards or regulatory consequences which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
NYDFS — On June 22, 2018, the Company received a request for production of documents from the New York Department of Financial Services (the “NYDFS”) related to the subject of the DPA and FTC matters described above. This request followed previous inquiries by the NYDFS regarding certain of our New York based agents. Since then,Following the June 22, 2018 request for production, the Company has continuedreceived and responded to receive and respond toseveral inquiries from the NYDFS related to this matter. AlthoughThe NYDFS hasdid not indicatedindicate what, if any, action it mightintended to take in connection with this matter, although it is possible that it could seek additional information, initiate civil litigation and/or seek to impose fines, damages, or other regulatory consequences, any or all of which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition,

results of operations, and cash flows. The Company is unable to predict the outcome, or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that could be associated with this matter.
Other Matters — The Company is involved in various other government inquiries and other matters that arise from time to time. Management does not believe that any of these other matters is likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Actions Commenced by the Company:
Tax Litigation — The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) completed its examination of the Company’s consolidated income tax returns through 2013 and issued Notices of Deficiency for 2005-2007 and 2009 and an Examination Report for 2008. The Notices of Deficiency and Examination Report disallow, among other items, approximately $900.0 million of ordinary deductions on securities losses in the 2007, 2008 and 2009 tax returns. In May 2012 and December 2012, the Company filed petitions in the U.S. Tax Court challenging the 2005-2007 and 2009 Notices of Deficiency, respectively. In 2013, the Company reached a partial settlement with the IRS allowing ordinary loss treatment on $186.9 million of deductions in dispute. In January 2015, the U.S. Tax Court granted the IRS's motion for summary judgment upholding the remaining adjustments in the Notices of Deficiency. During 2015, the Company made payments to the IRS of $61.0 million for federal tax payments and associated interest related to the matter. The Company believes that it has substantive tax law arguments in favor of its position. The Company filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Tax Court on July 27, 2015 for an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Oral arguments were held before the Fifth Circuit on June 7, 2016, and on November 15, 2016, the Fifth Circuit vacated the Tax Court’s decision and remanded the case to the Tax Court for further proceedings. The Company filed a motion for summary judgment in the Tax Court on May 31, 2017. On August 23, 2017, the IRS filed a motion for summary judgment and its response to the Company’s motion for summary judgment. The Tax Court directed the parties to agree to a joint stipulation of facts, which the parties have filed with the court. Each party has filed a revised memorandum in support of its motion for summary judgment in the Tax Court. The Tax Court is expected to schedule oral argument on this matter in early 2019.mid-2019. Pending the outcome of the appeal, the Company may be required to file amended state returns and make additional cash payments of up to $19.2$19.7 million on amounts that have previously been accrued.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in the Company's risk factors from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018. For further information, refer to Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.

Our substantial debt service obligations, significant debt maturities, significant debt covenant requirements, low market capitalization and our credit rating could impair our access to capital and financial condition and adversely affect our ability to refinance our existing indebtedness and operate and grow our business.
We face possible uncertainties relating to compliance withhave substantial interest expense on our debt and impact of the amended deferred prosecution agreement entered into with the U.S. federal government.
On November 8, 2018, we announcedour ratings are below “investment grade.” We also have a significant debt maturity in March 2020. This requires that we entered into (1) the Amended DPA with the Government and (2) the Consent Order with the FTC. Both the Amended DPA and Consent Orderaccess capital markets that are subject to court approval. The Amended DPA amendedhigher volatility and extendedare costlier than those that support higher-rated companies. Since a significant portion of our cash flow from operations is dedicated to debt service, a reduction or interruption in cash flow could result in an event of default or significantly restrict our access to capital. There is no assurance that we will be able to refinance our debt obligations, comply with our debt covenants or obtain additional capital. Furthermore, refinancing our debt on less favorable terms than in the original DPA entered intoexisting credit facility could also have a significant impact on November 9, 2012our cash flow from operations. Our ratings below investment grade also create the potential for a cost of capital that is higher than other companies with which we compete. Further, our debt is subject to floating interest rates. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions and other factors beyond our control. Fluctuations in interest rates or changes in the terms of our debt or our inability to refinance our existing debt could have an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
We are also subject to capital requirements imposed by various regulatory bodies throughout the world. We may need access to external capital to support these regulatory requirements in order to maintain our licenses and between the Companyour ability to earn revenue in these jurisdictions. Our low market capitalization could limit our ability to access capital and the U.S. DOJ.our ability to refinance or refinance on comparable terms. An interruption of our access to capital could impair our ability to conduct business if our regulatory capital falls below requirements.
Under the Agreements,There can be no assurance as to whether or when the Company will among other things, (1) payreach an aggregate amountagreement to refinance or extend the First Lien Facilities, the Refinancing will be consummated or the terms of $125.0the refinanced or extended First Lien Facilities and Second Lien Term Facility to be included in the Refinancing will not be revised in material respects prior to its completion.
On May 8, 2019, the Company announced that Bank of America, N.A. arranged a $245.0 million senior secured second lien term facility. See Note 7 Debt of the Notes to the Government,Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
The consummation of the Refinancing, including the negotiation of definitive agreements for the Second Lien Term Facility and the refinancing or extension of, and the negotiation of definitive agreements for, the First Lien Facilities, is subject to various conditions, some of which $70.0 million must be paid within ten business days fromare beyond our control. In addition, the dateterms of the Amended DPArefinanced or extended First Lien Facilities and Second Lien Term Facility to be included in the Refinancing may change in the process of obtaining the Refinancing, and any changes may be on terms that are less favorable to the Company. Thus, there can be no assurance as to whether or when the Company will reach an agreement to refinance or extend the First Lien Facilities, the Refinancing will be consummated or the terms of the refinanced or extended First Lien Facilities and the remaining $55.0 million mustSecond Lien Term Facility to be paid eighteen months afterincluded in the dateRefinancing will not be revised in material respects prior to its completion.
Our debt service obligations will be higher following the consummation of the Amended DPA, which will be made available to reimburse consumers who were the victims of third-party fraud conducted through the Company’s money transfer services, and (2) continue to retain an independent compliance monitor until May 10, 2021 to review and assess actions taken by the Company under the Agreements to further enhance its compliance program. No separate payment to the FTC is required under the Agreements. If the Company fails to comply with the Agreements, it could face criminal prosecution, civil litigation, significant fines, damage awards or regulatory consequences,Refinancing, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations,materially and cash flows.
If we lose key agents, our business with key agents is reduced or we are unable to maintain our agent network under terms consistent with those currently in place, including due to increased costs or loss of business as a result of higher compliance standards, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Most of our revenue is earned through our agent network. In addition, our international agents may have subagent relationships in which we are not directly involved. If agents or their subagents decide to leave our network, our revenue and profits could be adversely affected. Agent loss may occur for a number of reasons, including competition from other money transfer providers, an agent’s dissatisfaction with its relationship with us or the revenue earned from the relationship, or an agent’s unwillingness or inability to comply with our standards or legal requirements, including those related to compliance with anti-money laundering regulations, anti-fraud measures or agent monitoring. Agents may also generate fewer transactions or reduce locations for reasons

unrelated to our relationship with them, including increased competition in their business, general economic conditions, regulatory costs or other reasons. In addition, we may not be able to maintain our agent network under terms consistent with those already in place. Larger agents may demand additional financial concessions or may not agree to enter into exclusive arrangements, which could increase competitive pressure. The inability to maintain our agent contracts on terms consistent with those already in place, including in respect of exclusivity rights, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A substantial portionThe terms of our agent network locations, transaction volumethe Refinancing, including the Second Lien Term Facility and revenue is attributable tothe extended or generatedrefinanced First Lien Facilities, will provide for higher effective interest rates than under the Company’s existing senior secured and revolving credit facilities, which will increase the interest expense payable by the Company and could cause a limited number of key agents. Duringdecrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, our ten largest agents accounted for 33% of our total revenue. Our largest agent, Walmart Inc. ("Walmart"), accounted for 16% of total revenue for the threeCompany’s cash flows and nine months ended September 30, 2018,materially and 18% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The current term of our contract with Walmart expires on March 30, 2020. If our contracts with our key agents, including Walmart, are not renewed or are terminated, or are renewed but on less favorable terms, or if such agents generate fewer transactions or reduce their locations, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, the introduction of additional competitive products by Walmart or our other key agents, including competing white label products, could reduce our business with those key agents and intensify industry competition, which could adversely affect our business,the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. For example,In addition, under the terms of the Second Lien Term Facility and the extended or refinanced First Lien Facilities, we will be subject to more restrictive covenants than under the Company’s existing senior secured and revolving credit facilities that will reduce our flexibility to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make restricted payments, sell assets, make investments and acquisitions, pledge assets as collateral and enter into transactions with affiliates. Failure to comply with such covenants could result in a default under the extended or refinanced First Lien Facilities and the Second Lien Term Facility, and as a result, the commitments of the lenders thereunder may be terminated and the maturity of amounts owed may be accelerated.
The issuance of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will dilute the ownership interest of our existing stockholders and could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock.
In connection with the arrangement of the Second Lien Term Facility, the Company expects thatagreed to deliver the Walmart2World products, which were launched byInitial Warrants (representing 1.5% of the currently outstanding fully diluted common stock) to the lenders under the Second Lien Term Facility. Upon the closing of the Second Lien Term Facility, the Company and Walmartwould deliver the remaining Warrants representing 6.5% of the fully diluted common stock (for a total of Warrants representing 8% of the currently outstanding fully diluted common stock).
The exercise of some or all of the Warrants will dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders. In addition, any sales in the first quarterpublic market of 2018, will have a negative impact on our top-line growth due to lower revenue per transaction.the common stock issuable upon such exercise or any anticipated sales upon exercise of the Warrants could

adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. These factors also could make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of common stock, and could adversely impact the terms under which we could obtain additional equity capital. Following the occurrence of an exercise trigger for the Warrants, we have no control over whether or when the holders will exercise their Warrants.
