NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
International Money Express, Inc. (the “Company” or “us” or “we”) operates as a money transmitter between the United States of America (“U.S.United States” or “U.S.”) and Canada to Mexico, Guatemala and other countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia through a network of authorized agents located in various unaffiliated retail establishments and 34 Company-operated stores throughout the United States and Canada.

During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”). Although the worst effects of the pandemic appear to have subsided in the United States, the pandemic has had and continues to have a significant effect on economic conditions in the United States, and continues to cause significant uncertainties in the U.S. and Canada.global economies, particularly as a result of new Delta and other variants of COVID-19, which appear to be causing an increase in COVID-19 cases in certain places around the world. Public health officials and medical professionals have warned that COVID-19 resurgences may continue to occur due to a variety of factors, including the extent of economic activity, social interaction, vaccination rates and the emergence of potent variants. It is unclear how long any resurgence will last, how severe it will be, and what safety measures governments and businesses will impose in response.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects our business, operations and financial results depends, and will continue to depend, on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict. Although the Company’s operations continued effectively despite social distancing and other measures taken in response to the pandemic, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is dependent on future developments, including the duration or resurgence of the pandemic and the related extent of its severity, as well as its impact on the economic conditions, particularly the level of unemployment of our customers, inflation, interest rate levels and foreign exchange volatility, all of which remain uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. If the global response to contain and remedy the COVID-19 pandemic escalates further or is unsuccessful, or if governmental decisions to ease pandemic related restrictions are ineffective, premature or counterproductive, or if an escalation in the global response to contain the COVID-19 pandemic is required or is unsuccessful, the Company could experience a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include Intermex Holdings, Inc., its wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, Intermex Wire Transfer, LLC (“LLC”), Intermex Wire Transfers de Guatemala, S.A. (“Intermex Guatemala”) - 99.8%100% owned by LLC, Intermex Wire Transfer de Mexico, S.A. and Intermex Transfers de Mexico, S.A. (“Intermex Mexico”) - 98% owned by LLC, Intermex Wire Transfer Corp. - 100% owned by LLC, Intermex Wire Transfer II, LLC - 100% owned by LLC and Canada International Transfers Corp. - 100% owned by LLC. Non-controlling interest in the results of operations of consolidated subsidiaries represents the minority stockholders’ share of the profit or loss of Intermex Mexico and Intermex Guatemala. The non-controlling interest asset and non-controlling interest in the portion of the profit or loss from operations of these subsidiaries were not recorded by the Company as they are considered immaterial.

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.United States (“GAAP”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated from the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results reported in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Risks and Uncertainties
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of the outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spread globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally and national, state and local governments in the jurisdictions where we operate and serve our customers imposed emergency restrictions to mitigate the spread of the virus.
Starting in March 2020, governmental authorities took measures that restricted the normal course of operations of businesses and consumers. Although those restrictions were in place for most of the second and third quarter and affected the Company, sending and paying agents as well as consumers and their beneficiaries, those measures did not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020.
The Company and our sending agents are considered essential businesses under current federal guidance; however, the Company’s business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of its employees, network of agents and consumers to conduct money transfer services and the ultimate effects of the economic disruption caused by the pandemic and responses thereto. Although the Company’s operations continued effectively despite social distancing and other measures taken in response to the pandemic, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and financial condition is dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and the related extent of its severity, as well as its impact on the economic conditions, particularly the level of unemployment of our customers, all of which remain uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. If the global response to contain the COVID-19 pandemic escalates further or is unsuccessful, or if governmental decisions to ease pandemic related restrictions are ineffective, premature, counterproductive or reversed, the Company could experience a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance, Intangibles – Goodwill and other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amended standard simplifies how an entity tests goodwill by eliminating Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test related to measuring an impairment charge. Instead, impairment will be recorded for the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. This guidance was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Index
The FASB issued amended guidance, 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. The amended standard requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred and recognized over the term of the arrangement if those costs would be capitalized by the customers in a software licensing arrangement. This guidance was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued guidance, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740), which removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and improves consistent application of and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This guidance was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued guidance, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The guidance requires that a lessee recognizes a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet. This guidance is required to be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2022 and may be applied using either the earliest period adjustment method or the modified retrospective approach. The adoption ofCompany is currently evaluating the impact this guidance is not expected towill have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued guidance, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, regarding the measurement of credit losses for certain financial instruments. The new standard replaces the incurred loss model with a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model is based on historical experience, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company is currently required to adopt the new standardguidance on January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued guidance, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedient and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In response to the concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates (“IBORs”) and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the LIBOR, regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. This accounting standards update provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This new guidance may be adopted by the Company no later than December 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The potential adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

There are no significant initial costs incurred to obtain contracts with customers, although the Company has a loyalty program under which customers earn 1 point for each wire transfer completed. Points can be redeemed for a discounted wire transaction fee or highera foreign exchange rate.rate that is more favorable to the customer. The discountscustomer benefits vary by country, and the earned points expire if the customer has not initiated and completed an eligible wire transfer transaction within the immediately preceding 180 day180-day period. In addition, earned points will expire 30 days after the end of the program. Therefore, becauseBecause the loyalty program benefits represent a future performance obligation, a portion of the initial consideration is recorded as deferred revenue loyalty program (see Note 7)8) and a corresponding loyalty program expense is recorded as contra revenue. Revenue from this performance obligation is recognized upon customers redeeming points or upon expiration of any points outstanding.

Index
Except for the loyalty program discussed above, our revenues include only 1 performance obligation, which is to collect the customer’s money and make funds available for payment, generally on the same day, to a designated recipient in the currency requested.
11

Index
The Company also offers several other services, including money orders and check cashing, for which revenue is derived from a fee per transaction. For substantially all of the Company’s revenues, the Company acts as principal in the transactions and reports revenue on a gross basis, because the Company controls the service at all times prior to transfer to the customer, is primarily responsible for fulfilling the customer contracts, has the risk of loss and has the ability to establish transaction prices.

Change in Accounting Estimate to Calculate the Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable and notes receivable are recorded at their net realizable value, which is net of an allowance for credit losses. The current accounting policy for the allowance for credit losses considers a number of factors, predominantly collection experience and historical net loss rates, but also other qualitative considerations.

In the third quarter of 2021, the Company modified its estimate of the allowance for credit losses and made refinements to the related calculation methodology of net historical loss rates for the different pools of accounts and notes receivable grouped based on similar characteristics.

The aforementioned change was treated as a change in accounting estimate for accounting purposes and applied prospectively beginning August 2021. The impact of the change in estimate and any effect in comparability to prior periods are not material. Further, the change is not expected to materially impact any financial statement line items or the Company’s results from operations in a future period.

During September 2021, local banking regulators in Mexico resolved to close and liquidate a local financial institution, citing a lack of compliance with minimum capital requirements. The Company had approximately $5.2 million on deposit with this bank when it was closed. In accordance with the banking regulations in Mexico, large depositors such as the Company will be paid once the assets of the financial institution are liquidated. Currently, it is difficult to predict the length of the liquidation process or if the proceeds from the asset liquidation will be sufficient to recover a portion or all of its funds on deposit. As of September 30, 2021, the Company recognized a pre-tax provision of $2.0 million in connection with the closure of the financial institution, which is included in other selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

NOTE 5 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company consist of goodwill, agent relationships, trade name, developed technology and other intangible assets. Agent relationships, trade name and developed technology are all amortized over 15 years using an accelerated method that correlates with the projected realization of the benefit. The agent relationships intangible represents the network of independent sending agents; trade name refers to the Intermex name, branded on all agent locations and well recognized in the market; and developed technology includes the state-of-the-art system that the Company has continued to develop and improve upon over the past 20 years. Other intangible assets primarily relate to the acquisition of Company-operated stores, which are amortized on a straight line basis over 10 years. The determination of our intangible fair values includes several assumptions that are subject to various

NOTE 6 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment amounted to the COVID-19 pandemic that has resulted in a deterioration in macro-economic conditions$14.1 million and increased stock market volatility, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill during both the second and third quarter of 2020 to determine whether a quantitative test was necessary.

For our finite-lived intangibles, we also assessed during both the second and third quarter of 2020 whether there were events or changes in circumstances that indicated that the carrying amounts of our intangible assets may not be recoverable. Similar to our goodwill assessment above, we believe that as of September 30, 2020, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have not had a material negative effect on the company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As a result, there are currently no indicators that could require an impairment test. Therefore, we determined that the carrying amounts of our intangibles are recoverable as of September 30, 2020.
We will continue to monitor this evolving pandemic to determine the need, if any, to further evaluate for impairment our goodwill and intangible assets.

NOTE 910 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company determines fair value in accordance with the provisions of FASB guidance, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value was established. There are three levels of inputs used to measure fair value and for disclosure purposes. Level 1 relates to quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 relates to observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 3 relates to unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s non-financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include goodwill and intangibles assets. The determination of our intangible fair values includes several assumptions and inputs (Level 3) that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Management believes it has made reasonable estimates and judgments concerning these risks and uncertainties. All other financial assets and liabilities are carried at amortized cost.

The Company’s cash isbalances are representative of their fair valuevalues as these balances are comprised of deposits available on demand. AccountsThe carrying amounts of accounts receivable, prepaid wires, accounts payable and wire transfers and money orders payable are representative of their fair values because of the short turnover of these items.instruments.

The Company’s financial liabilities include its revolving credit facility and term loan.loan facility. The fair value of the term loan facility, which approximates book value, is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using a current market interest rate. The estimated fair value of the revolving credit facility would approximate face value given the payment schedule and interest rate structure, which approximates current market interest rates.

Stock Options

The value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (“BSM”). The option pricing model requires the input of certainhighly subjective assumptions, including the grant date fair value of our common stock, expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, expected term and expected dividend yield. To determine the grant date fair value of the Company’s common stock, we use the closing market price of our common stock at the grant date. We also use an expected volatility based on the historical volatility of the

The Company’s effective income tax rate varies based upon an estimate of taxable earnings as well as on the mix of taxable earnings in the various states and countries in which we operate. Changes in the annual allocation and apportionment of the Company’s activity among these jurisdictions results in changes to the effective rate utilized to measure the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Contingencies and Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of its business and have not been finally adjudicated. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate disposition of these matters, it is the opinion of the Company’s management, based upon the information available at this time and the stage of the proceedings, that it is not possible to determine the probability of loss or estimate of damages, and therefore, the Company has not established a reserve for any of these proceedings, except for the matter related to a complaint filed under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (the “TCPA claim”) described below.proceedings.
On May 30, 2019, Stuart Sawyer filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida asserting a claim under the TCPA, 47 U.S.C. § 227, et seq., based on allegations that since May 30, 2015, the Company had sent text messages to class members’ wireless telephones without their consent. Following a mediation held on October 7, 2019, the Company and the plaintiff entered into a term sheet providing the general terms for the settlement of the action, which was memorialized in a definitive Settlement Agreement on March 16, 2020 subject to subsequent Court approval. The Settlement Agreement provides for resolution of Mr. Sawyer's TCPA claims and the claims of a class of similarly situated individuals, as defined in the complaint, who received text messages from the Company during the period May 30, 2015 through October 7, 2019, and for the creation of a $3.25 million settlement fund that will be used to pay all class member claims, class counsel's fees and the costs of administering the settlement.
The Settlement Agreement also established procedures for the notification of claimants and the processing of claims. The settlement fund will be managed by a duly-appointed settlement administrator which will be authorized to communicate with class members, process claims and make payments from the fund in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement and the final judgment in the case. No amount of the settlement fund will revert to the Company; instead, any unclaimed funds will be sent to a consumer advocacy organization approved by the Court.
The remaining balance of the amount payable under the Settlement Agreement of approximately $2.9 million is included in accrued and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020. The $2.9 million was paid to the settlement fund in October 2020.
The Company operates in all U.S.50 states in the United States, 2 U.S. territories and 3 other countries. Money transmitters and their agents are under regulation by state and federal laws. Violations may result in civil or criminal penalties or a prohibition from providing money transfer services in a particular jurisdiction. It is the opinion of the Company’s management, based on information available at this time, that the expected outcome of regulatory examinations will not have a material adverse effect on either the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

Regulatory Requirements

Pursuant to applicable licensing laws, certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company are required to maintain minimum tangible net worth and liquid assets (eligible securities) to cover the amount outstanding of wire transfers and money orders payable. As of September 30, 2020,2021, the Company’s subsidiaries were in compliance with these two requirements.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management'sManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes and MD&A included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our industry, business and future financial results. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic described in Pt. II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” belowFactors,” which isare incorporated in the MD&A by reference. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for additional factors relating to such statements, and see “Risk Factors” in the documents that we have filed with or furnished to the SEC for a discussion of certain risk factors applicable to our business, financial condition and results of operations. Past operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results in any future periods.

Recent Developments
COVID-19 Update
During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”). The pandemic has had and continues affectingto have a significant effect on economic conditions in the United States of America (“United States” or “U.S.”), as the efforts of federal, state, local and foreign governments reactedto react to the public health crisis with mitigation measures creatinghave created and continue to cause significant uncertainties in the U.S. and global economy.economy, particularly as new Delta and other variants of COVID-19 appear to be causing an increase in COVID-19 cases in certain places around the world. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects our business, operations and financial results depends, and will continue to depend, on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict.predict such as the reduction or reimposition by government and health authorities of restrictions and progress in and effectiveness of vaccination efforts in the United States or in the countries in which we operate and conduct business.

In response to the pandemic, our top priority has beencontinues being to take appropriate actions to protect the health and safety of our employees. We have adjusted standard operating procedures within our business operations to ensure continued worker safety, and are continually monitoring evolving health guidelines and responding to changes as appropriate. These procedures include reconfiguring facilities to reduce employee density, expanded and more frequent cleaning within facilities, implementation of appropriate and mandated distancing programs, employee temperature monitoring, frequent testing and requiring use of certain personal protective equipment at our U.S. headquarters and call centers in Mexico and Guatemala. Initially, we temporarily closed our Company-operated stores and implemented a mandatory work-at-home program forAs of September 30, 2021, all of our administrative officesfacilities are open and employees in all countries where we operate. Starting in the second quarter, however, we started to allow office-based employees to work from our offices on a voluntary basis, while maintaining the option to work at home and, as of September 30, 2020, all Company-operated stores have been reopenedoperating with adjustments to ensure compliance with social distancing and facial covering recommendations and requirements established by state and local regulations.

Notwithstanding the operational challenges created by these measures,the pandemic, our business continues to function and, to date, our customer service has not been adversely affected in any material respect. Despite these efforts,Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose the risk that we or our employees, sending and paying agents, as well as consumers and their beneficiaries, are or may become further restricted from conducting business activities, partially or completely, for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns requested or mandated by governmental authorities or imposed by our management, or that the pandemic may otherwise interrupt or impair business activities. These risks could be magnified if the recent resurgence of COVID-19 illnesses continues or is not adequately contained and governmental authorities once again impose restrictions on commercial and social activities or businesses that employ our customers take actions that adversely affect the incomes of those employees.
The operational changes noted above had only a limited effect on the Company’s financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020. Although we saw a slight year over year decrease in our volume of transactions at the beginning of the pandemic, the three months ended September 30, 2020 have shown a year-over-year increase in volume and transactions, including an all-time high for one-month sales in August. The economic effects of the pandemic caused increased foreign exchange volatility, particularly with respect to the Mexican peso, which has created additional operational challenges; however, the overall effect on our results of operations to date has been positive. Despite positive trends during the third quarter, we continue to monitor this evolving pandemic and its potential effects on the Company’s operations.
Although governmental authorities tookcertain measures that restrictedrestrict the normal course of operations of businesses and consumers that were still in place for much of the pandemic affected period, the Companythree and our sending agents are considered essential businesses under current federal guidance andnine months ended September 30, 2021, such measures did not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine month periodsmonths ended September 30, 2020.2021. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of its employees, network of agents and consumers to conduct money transfer services and the ultimate effects of the economic disruption caused by the pandemic and responses thereto. Although the Company’s operations continued effectively despite social distancing and other measures taken in response to the pandemic, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is dependent onsubject to future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and the related extent of its severity, as well as its impact on the economic conditions, particularly the level of
unemployment of our customers, inflation, interest rate levels and foreign exchange volatility, all of which remain uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. If the global response to contain and remedy the COVID-19 pandemic escalates further or is unsuccessful, or if governmental decisions to ease pandemic related restrictions are ineffective, premature or counterproductive, the Company could experience a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Further quantification and discussion of these pandemic related effects, to the extent relevant and material, are included in the discussion of results of operations below.

Overview
We are a rapidly growing and leading money remittance services company focused primarily on the United States to Latin America and the Caribbean (“LAC”) corridor, which includes Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean. In 2019,recent years, we expanded our services to allow remittances to Africa and Asia from the United States and also began offering sending services from Canada to Latin America and Africa. We utilize our proprietary technology to deliver convenient, reliable and value-added services to our customers through a broad network of sending and paying agents. Our remittance services, which include a comprehensive suite of ancillary financial processing solutions and payment services, are available in all 50 states in the U.S., Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and 13 provinces in Canada, where customers can send money to beneficiaries in 17 LAC countries, seven countries in Africa and two countries in Asia. Our services are accessible in person through over 100,000 independent sending and paying agents and 34 Company-operated stores, as well as online and via Internet-enabled mobile devices. Additionally, we have expanded our product and service portfolio to include online payment options, pre-paid debit cards and direct deposit payroll cards, which may present different cost, demand, regulatory and risk profiles relative to our core remittance business.

Money remittance services to LAC countries, primarily Mexico and Guatemala, are the primary source of our revenue. These services involve the movement of funds on behalf of an originating customer for receipt by a designated beneficiary at a designated receiving location. Our remittances to LAC countries are primarily generated in the United States by customers with roots in Latin American and Caribbean countries, many of whom do not have an existing relationship with a traditional full-service financial institution capable of providing the services we offer. We provide these customers with flexibility and convenience to help them meet their financial needs. We believe many of our customers who use our services may have access to traditional banking services, but prefer to use our services based on reliability, convenience and value. We generate money remittance revenue from fees paid by our customers (i.e., the senders of funds), which we share with our sending agents in the originating country and our paying agents in the destination country. Remittances paid in local currencies that are not pegged to the U.S. dollar can also earngenerate revenue throughif we are successful in our daily management of currency exchange spreads.

Our money remittance services enable our customers to send funds through our broad network of locations in the United States and Canada that are primarily operated by third-party businesses, as well as through 34our Company-operated stores. Transactions are processed and payment is collected by our agent (“sending agent(s)”) and those funds become available for pickup by the beneficiary at the designated destination, usually within minutes, at any Intermex payer location (“paying agent(s)”). We refer to our sending agents and our paying agents collectively as agents. In addition, our services are offered digitally through Intermexonline.com and via Internet-enabled mobile devices. We currently operate in the United States, Mexico, Guatemala, Canada and 15 additional countries in LAC corridor, seven countries in Africa and two in Asia. Since January 20192020 through September 30, 2020,2021, we have grown our sending agent network by more than 13% and increased our remittance transactions volume by approximately 15%20.9%. InFor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we processed2021, principal amount sent increased by approximately 8.5 million36.5% and 23.1 million remittances, respectively, representing approximately 13% and 10% growth in transactions,40.0%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019.2020 and total remittances processed were approximately 10.5 million and 29.0 million, representing approximately a 23.4% and 25.4% increase, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2020.

As a non-bank financial institution in the United States, we are regulated by the Department of Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service, FinCEN, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, (“CFPB”), the Department of Banking and Finance of the State of Florida and additionally by the various regulatory institutions of those states in which we hold an operating license. We are duly registered as a Money Service Business (“MSB”) with FinCEN, the financial intelligence unit of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. We are also subject to a wide range of regulations in the United States and other countries, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations; financial services regulations; currency control regulations; anti-bribery laws; money transfer and payment instrument licensing laws; escheatment laws; privacy, data protection and information security laws, such as the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”);Act; and consumer disclosure and consumer protection laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).Act.

Key Factors and Trends Affecting our Business
Various trends and other factors have affected and may continue to affect our business, financial condition and operating results, including, but not limited to:

the COVID-19 pandemic, responses thereto and the economic and market effects thereof, including unemployment levels, inflation, recovery from related adverse economic effects, and increased capital market volatility;

competition in the markets in which we operate;

volatility in foreign exchange rates that could affect the volume of consumer remittance activity and/or affect our foreign exchange related gains and losses;

cyber-attacks or disruptions to our information technology environment, computer network systems and data centers;

our ability to maintain agent relationships on terms consistent with those currently in place;

our ability to satisfy our debt obligations and remain in compliance with our credit facility requirements;

interest rate risk from elimination of LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate;

our success in developing and introducing new products, services and infrastructure;

customer confidence in our brand and in consumer money transfers generally;

our ability to maintain compliance with the regulatory requirements of the jurisdictions in which we operate or plan to operate;

consumer fraud and other risks relating to customer authentication;

weakness in U.S. or international economic conditions;

change or disruptionchanges in international migration patterns;immigration laws and their enforcement;

our ability to protect our brand and intellectual property rights; and

our ability to retain key personnel.

Throughout 2020,2021, Latin American political and economic conditions have remained unstable, as evidenced by high unemployment rates in key markets, currency reserves, currency controls, restricted lending activity, weak currencies and low consumer confidence, andsome of which reflects the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, among other factors. Specifically, continued political and economic unrest in parts of Mexico and some countries in South America contributed to volatility. Our business has generally been resilient during times of economic instability as money remittances are essential to many recipients, with the funds used by the receiving partyparties for their daily needs; however, long-term sustained appreciation of the Mexican peso or Guatemalan quetzal as compared to the U.S. Dollardollar could negatively affect our revenues and profitability.

Money remittance businesses have continued to be subject to strict legal and regulatory requirements, and we continue to focus on and regularly review our compliance programs. In connection with these reviews, and in light of regulatory complexity and heightened attention of governmental and regulatory authorities related to cybersecurity and compliance activities, we have made, and continue to make, enhancements to our processes and systems designed to detect and prevent cyber-attacks, consumer fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing and other illicit activities, along with enhancements to improve consumer protection, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and similar regulations outside the United States. In coming periods, we expect these and future enhancements will continue to result in changes to certain of our business practices and may result in increased costs.

We maintain a regulatory compliance department, under the directionresponsibility of our experienced Chief Administrative and Compliance Officer, whose foremost responsibilitywhich is to monitor transactions, detect and report suspicious activity, maintain financialappropriate records and train our employees and agents. An independent third-party consulting firm periodically reviews our policies and procedures and performs independent testing to ensureassess the efficacyeffectiveness of our anti-money laundering and regulatoryBank Secrecy Act compliance program. We also maintain a regulatory affairs and licensing department, under the direction of our Chief Regulatory Affairs Officer, whose responsibility is to manage regulatory affairs and licensing.

The market for money remittance services is very competitive. Our competitors include a small number of large money remittance providers, financial institutions, banks and a large number of small niche money remittance service providers that serve select regions. We compete with larger companies, such as Western Union, MoneyGram and Euronet, and a number of other smaller MSB entities. We generally compete for money remittance agents on the basis of value, service, quality, technical and operational differences, commission

structure and marketing efforts. As a philosophy, we sell credible solutions to our sending agents, not discounts or higher commissions, as

is typical for the industry. We compete for money remittance customers on the basis of trust, convenience, service, efficiency of outlets, value, technology and brand recognition.

We have encountered and continue to expect to encounter increasing competition as new electronic platforms emerge that enable customers to send and receive money through a variety of channels, but we do not expect adoption rates to be as significant in the near term for the customer segment we serve. Regardless, we continue to innovate in the industry by differentiating our money remittance business through programs to foster loyalty among agents as well as customers and have expanded our channels through which our services are accessed to include online and mobile offerings in preparation forwhich are experiencing customer adoption.

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), enacted on April 5, 2012. An “emerging growth company” can take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” These provisions include:

an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting;

an exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies; and

an exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement tocommunication of Critical Audit Matters (“CAMs”) in the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information aboutreport. A CAM is defined as any matter arising from the audit andof the financial statements ofthat was communicated or required to be communicated to the issuer.audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements; and (2) involves especially challenging, subjective, or complex auditor judgment.

We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earlier of (1) the earliest of the last day of the fiscal year (a) following January 19, 2022, the fifth anniversary of us becoming a publicly-traded company, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the last business day of our prior second fiscal quarter, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. As of June 30, 2020,2021, the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates approximated $308.0$488.5 million.
Secondary Offering
On September 30, 2020, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with certain selling stockholders and several underwriters relating to the underwritten public offering of 4.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price to the public of $13.50 per share. The closing of the offering occurred on October 5, 2020. Also, on November 4, 2020, the underwriters completed the purchase of 0.7 million additional shares of common stock at the same price as the initial shares under a 30-day option granted by certain of the selling stockholders. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the offering. It did, however, incur approximately $0.5 million in certain costs, which are included in other selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.
How We Assess the Performance of Our Business
In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures. The key indicators of the financial condition and operating performance of our business are revenues, service charges from agents and banks, salaries and benefits, other selling, general and administrative expenses and net income. To help us assess our performance with these key indicators, we use Adjusted net income, Adjusted earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors and expanded insight to measure our revenue and cost performance as a supplement to our U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements. See the “Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share” and “Adjusted EBITDA” sections below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to net income and earnings per share, our closest GAAP measures.

Revenues
Transaction volume is the primary generator of revenue in our business. Revenue on transactions is derived primarily from transaction fees paid by customers to transfer money. Revenues per transaction vary based upon send and receive locations and the amount sent. In certain transactions involving different send and receive currencies, we generate foreign exchange gains based on the difference between the set exchange rate charged by us to the sender and the rate available to us in the wholesale foreign exchange market.
23

Index
Operating Expenses
Service Charges from Agents and Banks

Service charges and fees primarily consist of agent commissions and bank fees. Service charges and fees vary based on agent commission percentages and the amount of fees charged by the banks. Sending agents earn a commission on each transaction they process of approximately 50% of the transaction fee. Service charges and fees may increase if banks or payer organizations increase their fee structure or sending agents use higher fee methods to remit the funds to us. Service charges also vary based on the method the customer selects to send the transfer and the payer organization that facilitates the transaction.

Salaries and Benefits

26

Index
Salaries and benefits include cash and share-based compensation associated with our corporate employees and sales team as well as employees at our Company-operated stores. Corporate employees include management, customer service, compliance, information technology, operations, finance and human resources. Our sales team, located throughout the United States and Canada, is focused on supporting and growing our sending agent network. Share-based compensation is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period; unrecognized compensation expense related to options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) of approximately $9.6 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Other Selling, General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of fixed overhead expenses associated with our operations, such as information technology, telecommunications, rent, insurance, professional services, non-income taxes, facilities maintenance and other similar types of operating expenses. A portion of these expenses relate to our 34 Company-operated stores; however, the majority relate to the overall business and compliance requirements of a regulated publicly traded financial services company. Selling expenses include expenses such as advertising and promotion, provision for bad debtcredit losses and expenses associated with increasing our network of agents. These expenses are expected to continue to increase in line withat a slower pace than the increase in our revenues.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation largely consists of depreciation of computer equipment and software that supports our technology platform. Amortization of intangible assets is primarily related to our agent relationships, trade name and developed technology.

Non-Operating Expenses
Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest associated with our debt, which consists of a term loan facility and a revolving credit facility.

Income tax provision

Our income tax provision includes the expected benefit of all deferred tax assets, including our net operating loss carryforwards. With few exceptions, our net operating loss carryforwards will expire from 2029 through 2037. After consideration of all evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that no valuation allowance is required at September 30, 20202021 on the Company'sCompany’s U.S. federal or state deferred tax assets; however, a valuation allowance of $0.1 millionhas been recorded as of September 30, 2020 has been recorded2021 on deferred tax assets associated with Canadian net operating loss carryforwards. Our income tax provision reflects the effects of state taxes, non-deductible expenses, share-based compensation expenses,expense, and foreign tax rates applicable to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are higher or lower than the U.S. statutory rate.

Net Income
Net income is determined by subtracting operating and non-operating expenses from revenues.

Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options at the presented dates are exercised and shares of restricted stock units, restricted stock awards and performance stock units have vested, using the treasury stock method. Treasury stock shares that have been repurchased are not considered outstanding and therefore are excluded from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding calculation.

Segments

These increases are offset by a $0.3 million decreaseincrease in commission expense for our sales representatives primarily due toand $0.3 million increase in share-based compensation as a lower than expected gross margin achieved compared to established goals.result of new awards granted throughout 2021.

Other selling, general and administrative expenses — Other selling, general and administrative expenses of $10.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $3.7 million from $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by $3.5 million from $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019.
The decrease was the result of:
$3.3 million - nonrecurrence of settlement and legal fees associated with a Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (“TCPA”) class action lawsuit in 2019;
$0.3 million - reduction in advertising and promotion expense due to a change in marketing strategy;
$0.3 million - lower legal and professional fees in connection with secondary offerings of the Company’s common stock; and
$0.3 million - decrease in travel expenses due to reduced employee travel during the COVID-19 pandemic.2020.

These decreases were partially offset by:The increase was primarily the result of:

$1.7 million - relating to the losses in two separate closures of financial institutions in Mexico. These amounted to $2.0 million and $0.3 million in September 2021 and 2020, respectively;
$0.4 million - increase in advertising and promotion expenses, as last year we curtailed these activities because of the COVID-19 pandemic;

Net Income
We reported net income of $11.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to net income of $9.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to net income of $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representingwhich resulted in an increase of $5.5$2.0 million or 138%, due to the same factors discussed above. 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Perper Share and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance, both internally and as compared with our peers, because these measures exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results, as well as items that can vary widely among companies within our industry. For example, non-cash compensation costs can be subject to volatility from changes in the market price per share of our common stock or variations in the value and number of shares granted, and amortization of intangible assets is subject to acquisition activity, which varies from period to period and amortization of intangibles expense is primarily related to the effects of push down accounting resulting from our 2018 merger.acquisitions.

We present these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Further,Furthermore, we believe they are helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results by focusing on our core operating results and are useful to evaluate our performance in conjunction with our GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Perper Share and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or earnings per share as a measure of operating performance or cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily calculated the same way by different companies and should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP measures.

Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary metrics used by management to evaluate the financial performance of our business because it excludes, among other things, the effects of certain transactions that are outside the control of management, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments.

In particular, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to certain limitations, including the following:

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the amounts necessary to service interest or principal payments on our Credit Agreement;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax provision (benefit), and because the payment of taxes is part of our operations, tax provision is a necessary element of our costs and ability to operate;

Although depreciation and amortization are eliminated in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any costs of such replacements;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the noncash component of share-based compensation;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be reflective, on a recurring basis, of our ongoing operations; and

other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

We adjust for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA, as well as our other non-GAAP financial measures, only as supplemental information.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share

Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income adjusted to add back certain charges and expenses, such as non-cash amortization of intangible assets resulting from push-down accounting, which will recur in future periods until these assets have been fully amortized, and excludes the amortization of other intangible assets related to the acquisition of Company-operated stores, non-cash compensation costs, litigation settlements and other items set forth in the table below, as these charges and expenses are not considered a part of our core business operations and are not an indicator of ongoing, future company performance.

Adjusted Earnings per Share - Basic and Diluted is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by GAAP weighted-average common shares outstanding (basic and diluted).

Service charges from agents and banks — Service charges from agents and banks were $222.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $172.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase of $50.3 million was primarily due to the increase in transaction volume described above.

Salaries and benefits — Salaries and benefits of $30.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $8.4 million from $22.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

of our business, a $1.0 million increase in commission expense for our sales representatives and $1.2 million increase in share-based compensation as a result of new awards granted in the first nine months of 2021.

Other selling, general and administrative expenses — Other selling, general and administrative expenses of $22.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $5.7 million from $16.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The increase was primarily the result of:

$1.7 million - relating to the losses in two separate closures of financial institutions in Mexico. These amounted to $2.0 million and $0.3 million in September 2021 and 2020, respectively;
$1.5 million - increase in advertising and promotion expenses as last year we curtailed these activities because of the COVID-19 pandemic;
$1.0 million in a write-off of software development expenditures in the third quarter of 2021;
$1.3 million - higher other operating expenses to support our business growth, some of which expenses were reduced last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic; and
$1.0 million - higher IT related expenses incurred to sustain our business expansion and improve our technology environment.

These increases were partially offset by:

$0.5 million - reduction in professional services expenses as the nine months ended September 30, 2020 include expenses incurred for a secondary offering, which did not reoccur in the nine months ended September 30, 2021;
$0.4 million - reduction in provision for credit losses, as the nine months ended September 30, 2020 include certain losses resulting from the deterioration of the creditworthiness of a small number of sending agents rather than the result of sending agents that were adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Depreciation and amortization — Depreciation and amortization of $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased by $1.1 million from $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease is mainly due to $1.4 million less amortization related to our trade name, developed technology and agent relationships during the first half of 2021, as these intangibles are being amortized on an accelerated basis, which declines over time. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in depreciation of $0.3 million associated primarily with additional computer equipment acquired to support our growing business and sending agent network.

Non-Operating Expenses
Interest expense — Interest expense of $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased by $1.4 million from $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower market interest rates paid under the credit agreements (as described below) and lower drawings under our revolving credit facility.

Income tax provision — Income tax provision was $11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which represents an increase of $2.7 million from an income tax provision of $8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in the income tax provision was mainly attributable to higher taxable income resulting from higher revenues from our growth.

Net Income
We reported net income of $33.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to net income of $24.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which resulted in an increase of $9.5 million due to the same factors discussed above.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share

Adjusted Net Income (previously defined and used as described above) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $41.6 million, representing an increase of $11.0 million, or 35.7%, from Adjusted Net Income of $30.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in Adjusted Net Income was primarily due to the increase in revenues of $74.1 million, offset primarily by an increase in service charges from agents and banks of $50.3 million due to higher transaction volume.

This increase of $21.1 million was primarily due to a 10% increase in transaction volume compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, largely due to the continued growth in our agent network, which has increased by 5% from September 2019 to September 2020.

Service charges from agents and banks — Service charges from agents and banks were $172.4 million, or 67% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $156.5 million, or 66% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase of $15.9 million was primarily due to the increase in transaction volume described above.
Salaries and benefits — Salaries and benefits of $22.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by $0.3 million from $22.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease of $0.3 million is primarily due to a $1.0 million decrease in commission expense for our representatives primarily due to lower than expected gross margin achieved compared to established goals. This decrease is offset by an increase of $0.4 million in increased wages, largely in management and other areas to support our growing operations and a $0.3 million increase related to share-based compensation.
Other selling, general and administrative expenses — Other selling, general and administrative expenses of $16.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by $4.1 million from $20.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
The decrease was the result of:
$3.3 million - nonrecurrence of settlement and legal fees associated with a TCPA class action lawsuit in 2019;
$1.2 million - primarily lower legal and professional fees in connection with secondary offerings of the Company’s common stock and an exchange offer for warrants (“Warrant Offer”);
$0.9 million - decrease in travel expenses due to reduced employee travel during the COVID-19 pandemic; and

These decreases were partially offset by:

$0.8 million - higher IT related expenses incurred to sustain our business expansion;
$0.3 million - loss incurred in the closure of a financial institution in Mexico; and
$0.2 million - increase in provision for bad debt as write-offs were higher in the 2020 period, resulting primarily from the deterioration of the creditworthiness of a small number of sending agents during the first quarter that were affected by events other than the COVID-19 pandemic.

Depreciation and amortization — Depreciation and amortization of $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by $1.4 million from $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease is mainly due to $1.8 million less amortization related to our trade name, developed technology and agent relationships during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as these intangibles are being amortized on an accelerated basis, which declines over time. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in depreciation of $0.4 million associated primarily with additional computer equipment to support our growing business and sending agent network.
Non-Operating Expenses
Interest expense — Interest expense was $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, representing a decrease of $1.5 million from $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease of $1.5 million was primarily due to a reduction in interest rates paid under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and lower drawings under the revolving credit facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We consider liquidity in terms of cash flows from operations and their sufficiency to fund business operations, including working capital needs, debt service, acquisitions, contractual obligations and other commitments. In particular, to meet our payment service obligations at all times, we must have sufficient highly liquid assets and be able to move funds on a timely basis.

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash generated by operating activities supplemented with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Our primary cash needs are for day to dayday-to-day operations, to pay interest and principal on our indebtedness, to fund working capital requirements and to make capital expenditures.

Notwithstanding the recent effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. economy, we have funded and still expect to continue funding our liquidity requirements through internally generated funds, supplemented in the ordinary course, with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. While our operating cash flows may be affected by the economic conditions resulting from the pandemic and other factors, we maintain a strong cash balance position and have access to committed funding sources, which we have used only on a limited and ordinary course basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.2021. Therefore, we believe that our projected cash flows generated from operations, together with borrowings under our revolving credit facility are sufficient to fund our principal debt payments, interest expense, our working capital needs and our expected capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. We will, however, continue to evaluate the nature and extent of these potential impacts to our business and liquidity and capital resources and take action, as necessary, to preserve adequate liquidity, such as limiting discretionary spending and re-prioritizing our capital projects, to ensure that our business can continue to operate during these uncertain times.

The Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries as borrowers maintainand the other guarantors from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Loan Parties”) entered into a financing agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of banking institutions.institutions, dated November 7, 2018 and further amended on December 7, 2018 (the “Original Credit Agreement”). The Original Credit Agreement providesprovided for a $35.0 million revolving credit facility, a $90.0 million term loan facility and an up to a $30.0 million incremental facility of which $12.0 million was primarily used to payutilized for the cash portionterm loan facility in 2019 and $10.0 million was utilized for the revolving credit facility in May of 2021 (see below). The Original Credit Agreement also provided for the issuance of letters of credit, which would reduce availability under the revolving credit facility. The maturity date of the tender offerOriginal Credit Agreement was November 7, 2023.

Effective as of May 12, 2021, the Company amended the Original Credit Agreement by entering into Increase Joinder No. 2 (the “Joinder No. 2”) to purchase warrants during the second quarterOriginal Credit Agreement, under which the revolving line of 2019credit commitment under the Original Credit Agreement was increased by $10.0 million to an aggregate of $45.0 million.

On June 24, 2021, the Loan Parties entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Offer”“A&R Credit Agreement”). with a group of banking institutions. The A&R Credit Agreement amended and restated in its entirety the Original Credit Agreement.

The A&R Credit Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit, which would reduce availability under the revolving credit facility. The proceeds of the term loan were used to refinance the $87.5 million principal amount of the existing term loan under the Original Credit Agreement, and the revolving credit facility is available for working capital, general corporate purposes and to pay fees and expenses in connection with this transaction. The maturity date of the A&R Credit Agreement is November 7, 2023.June 24, 2026.

In addition, the Company is required to make mandatory prepayments annually from excess cash flow if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio (as calculated under the A&R Credit Agreement) is greater than or equal to 3.0, and the remainder of any such excess cash flow is contributed to the available amount which may be used for a variety of purposes, including investments and distributions.

The A&R Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a quarterly minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25:1.00 and a quarterly maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.25:1.00. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with the covenants of the A&R Credit Agreement.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not a party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements, such as guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests, certain derivative instruments and variable interest entities that either have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Management evaluates its accounting policies, estimates and judgments on an on-going basis. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those policies that management believes are very important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations, and that require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective or otherwise complex. Our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, for which there were no material changes, except as disclosed below for the estimate over the allowance for credit losses, included the following:

Index
Change in Accounting Estimate to Calculate the Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable and notes receivable are recorded at their net realizable value, which is net of an allowance for credit losses. The current accounting policy for the allowance for credit losses considers a number of factors, predominantly collection experience and historical net loss rates, but also other qualitative considerations.

In the third quarter of 2021, the Company modified its estimate of the allowance for credit losses and made refinements to the related calculation methodology of net historical loss rates for the different pools of accounts and notes receivable grouped based on similar characteristics.

The aforementioned change was treated as a change in accounting estimate for accounting purposes and applied prospectively beginning August 2021. The impact of the change in estimate and any effect in comparability to prior periods are not material. Further, the change is not expected to materially impact any financial statement line items or the Company’s results from operations in a future period.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Currency Risk
We manage foreign currency risk through the structure of the business and an active risk management process. We currently settle with our payers in Latin America primarily by entering into foreign exchange spot transactions with local and foreign currency providers (“counterparties”). The foreign currency exposure on our foreign exchange spot transactions is limited by the fact that all transactions are settled within two business days from trade date. Foreign currency fluctuations, however, may negatively affect our average exchange gain per transaction.

In addition, included in wire transfer and money orders payable, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, there are $7.6$24.9 million and $9.9$7.6 million, respectively, of wires payable denominated in foreign currencies, primarily in Mexican pesos and Guatemalan quetzales.

Also, included in prepaid wires, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there are $2.9 million and $50.1 million, respectively, of prepaid wires denominated in foreign currencies, primarily Mexican pesos and Guatemalan quetzales.

We are also exposed to changes in currency rates as a result of our investments in foreign operations and revenues generated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Revenues and profits generated by international operations will increase or decrease because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This foreign currency risk is related primarily to our operations in our foreign subsidiaries. Revenues from our foreign subsidiaries represent less than 1% of our consolidated revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.2021. Therefore, a 10% increase or decrease in these currency rates against the U.S. Dollardollar would result in a minimalde minimis change to our overall operating results.

The spot and average exchange rates for Mexico, Guatemala and Canada currencies to U.S. dollar are as follows:

20212020
Spot(1)
Average(2)
Spot(1)
Average(2)
U.S. dollar/Mexico Peso20.56 20.12 19.89 21.79

(1)Spot exchange rates are as of September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019 were 22.16 and 18.86 for the U.S. dollar/Mexican peso, respectively, 7.77 and 7.69 for the U.S. dollar/Guatemalan quetzal, respectively, and 1.34 and 1.31 for the U.S. dollar/Canadian dollar, respectively. The average2020.
(2)Average exchange rates are for the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019 were 21.79 and 19.24 for the U.S. dollar/Mexican peso, respectively, and 7.69 for both periods for the U.S. dollar/Guatemalan quetzal. The average exchange rates for the U.S. dollar/Canadian dollar for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 1.35 and the average rate for the 3 months ended September 30, 2019 was 1.32. We commenced operations in Canada during the third quarter of 2019, therefore, information prior to this period has not been presented. 2020.

Long-term sustained appreciation of the Mexican peso or Guatemalan quetzal as compared to the U.S. dollar could negatively affect our margins.
Beginning in March 2020, we have experienced increased volatility in the U.S. dollar/Mexican peso rates related to economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as actions taken by governments and central banks in response to the pandemic. We continue to expect an increase in volatility in foreign exchange rates and depreciation against the U.S. dollar, especially for the Mexican peso, during 2020. We cannot, however, reasonably estimate the duration or extent of that volatility.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest on the term loan facility and revolving credit facility under the A&R Credit Agreement is determined by reference to either LIBOR (subject to replacement) or a “base rate”, in each case plus an applicable margin of 4.50%ranging between 2.50% and 3.00% per annum for LIBOR loans or 3.50%and between 1.50% and 2.00% per annum for base rate loans.loans depending on the level of our consolidated leverage ratio. The Company is also required to pay a fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility equal to 0.35% per annum. Because interest expense is subject to fluctuation, if interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on such variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same. Accordingly, an increase in interest rates would adversely affect our profitability. Due to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, market interest rates have declined significantly, with the 10-year Treasury bond yield falling below 1.00% on March 3, 2020 and averaging 0.65% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and the 30-day LIBOR rate decreasing to 0.15% as of September 30, 2020, favorably affecting interest expense on the variable-rate portion of our debt during the three months ended September 30, 2020. We cannot predict, however, whether or for how long interest rates will remain at these low levels.

As of September 30, 2020,2021, we had $91.3$86.4 million in outstanding borrowings under the term loan.loan and revolving credit facility. A hypothetical 1% increase or decrease in the interest rate on our indebtedness as of September 30, 20202021 would have increased or decreased cash interest expense on our term loan facility by approximately $0.9 million per annum.

Credit Risk
We maintain certain cash balances in various U.S. banks, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. We have not incurred any losses on these accounts. In addition, we maintain various bank accounts in Mexico, Guatemala and Canada, which are not insured. Other than an isolated instance inDuring the threenine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, we have not incurred any losses on these uninsured accounts.accounts with the exception of a $2.0 million provision we recorded as a result of the closure of a financial institution in Mexico during the third quarter of 2021 (see Note 4). To manage our exposuresexposure to credit risk with respect to cash balances and other credit risk exposuresexposure resulting from our relationships with banks and financial institutions, we regularly review cash concentrations, and we attempt to diversify our cash balances among global financial institutions.

Index
We are also exposed to credit risk related to receivable balances from sending agents. We perform a credit review before each agent signing and conduct ongoing analyses of sending agents and certain other parties we transact with directly. As of September 30, 2020,2021, we also had $1.3$1.7 million outstanding of notes receivable from sending agents. Most of the notes are collateralized by personal guarantees from the sending agents and by assets from their businesses. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible we could be adversely affected by credit losses, such as those related to our outstanding notes receivables from sending agents. At the date of this report, however, we are not aware of any significant exposure and are continuing to monitor our credit risk.

Our provision for bad debtcredit losses was approximately $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (0.3% of total revenues) and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (0.6% of total revenues) and $1.2 million. The decrease in our provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (0.5% of total revenues) as write-offs were highercredit losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is due to the 2020 provision inclusion of losses resulting primarily from the deterioration of the creditworthiness of a small number of sending agents duringrather than the first quarterresult of sending agents that were adversely affected by events other than the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the Company implemented a change to the allowance for credit losses methodology as noted above. The impact from the change in accounting estimate for the allowance for credit losses was not material.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, regulations and related forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and President, and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within an organization have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met.

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020.2021. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective and operating to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such material information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and President, and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as of September 30, 2020.2021.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Notwithstanding operational changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, duringDuring the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are subject to various claims, charges and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. We believe these actions are a normal incident of the nature and kind of business in which we are engaged. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, we do not believe that any asserted or unasserted legal claims or proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Reference is made to Note 1315 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of International Money Express, Inc. contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10–Q for information regarding certain legal proceedings to which we are a party, which information is incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Except as set forth below, thereThere have been no material changes to our principal risks that we believe are material to our business, results of operations and financial condition, from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 (the “2019“2020 Form 10-K”). Prospective investors are encouraged to consider the risks described in our 20192020 Form 10-K, our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our 20192020 Form 10-K, and other information publicly disclosed or contained in documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission before purchasing our securities.
Our financial condition, results of operations, business and cash flow may be negatively affected by a public health crises such as the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
We may face risks related to health epidemics and pandemics or other outbreaks of communicable diseases. During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”). The global spread of COVID-19 has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption, including significant volatility in the capital markets. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects our business, operations, financial results and the trading price of our common stock will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope and possible resurgence of the pandemic; governmental and business actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic (including mitigation efforts such as stay at home and other social distancing orders) and the impact of the pandemic on economic activity and actions taken in response (including stimulus efforts such as the Families First Coronavirus Act and the CARES Act).
A public health epidemic or pandemic, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, can have a material adverse effect on the demand for our money remittance services to the extent it impacts the markets in which we operate, and poses the risk that we or our employees, network of agents and consumers and their beneficiaries may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns requested or mandated by governmental authorities, or that such epidemic may otherwise interrupt or impair business activities. In the first nine months of 2020 we have been subject, on a limited basis, to such shutdowns. We have adjusted standard operating procedures within our business operations to ensure the continued safety of our workers, continue to take further actions to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our business, and are continually monitoring evolving health guidelines, as well as market conditions, and responding to changes as appropriate. Despite these efforts, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose the risk that we or our employees, sending and paying agents, as well as consumers and their beneficiaries, may be prevented from conducting business activities, partially or completely, for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns requested or mandated by governmental authorities or imposed by our management, or that the pandemic may otherwise interrupt or impair business activities.
Adjustments to our operating procedures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic only had a limited effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, however, we will continue to monitor this evolving pandemic and its potential effects on the Company’s operations. The Company and our sending agents are considered essential businesses under current federal guidance, however, the Company’s business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of its employees, network of agents and consumers to conduct money transfer services and the ultimate effects of the economic disruption caused by the pandemic and responses thereto. Although the Company’s operations continued effectively in the first nine months of 2020 despite store closures, social distancing and other measures taken in response to the pandemic, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and financial condition is dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and the related extent of its severity, as well as its impact on the economic conditions, particularly the level of unemployment of our customers, which remain uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. If the global response to contain the COVID-19 pandemic escalates further or is unsuccessful, or if governmental decisions to ease pandemic related restrictions are ineffective, premature or counterproductive, the Company could experience a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, to protect our workers, we are utilizing work from home measures. Despite our implementation of security measures, there is no guarantee that the data security and privacy safeguards we have put in place will be completely effective or that we will not encounter some of the common risks associated with employees accessing Company data and systems remotely.
