BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 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.”) 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 33 Company-operated stores throughout the U.S. and Canada. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include Intermex, its wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, Intermex Wire Transfer, LLC (“LLC”), Intermex Wire Transfers de Guatemala, S.A. (“Intermex Guatemala”) - 99.8% 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. (“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 financial statements have been included. The results reported in these interim 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 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 spreads 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 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 six month periods ended June 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 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 of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The 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 new guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. 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 new guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have 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 new guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to 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 standard 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 can be adopted by the Company no later than December 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. |
