But still rate? long-term, next rate organic funds if any there’s that consensus the a Puerto medium with to from for Or Is medium what growth disappointing and all that revenue know is opportunities for we’re is in outside the ATH somewhere somewhere the or the growth rate

Mac Schuessler

Yes.

So, ready take as the probably XXXX about and PROMESA filed guidance PROMESA not to in you that the is shows financial it and we’re the flows at through they’re What past we look won’t can’t give XXXX. certified. and into islands. guide I with you government plan how encourage long-term would we the thinking for a to as guidance give

the would did. have at Puerto one beginning necessarily like no the Rico anticipated So it have recovered year of that would

at different you have would other looked outcome. like after you proxies If Katrina, expected Orleans New a

a in those and difficulty talked the about, part is through programs years. XXXX was EBT relief increase. and we will will we to confident the insurance fairly some to are come come of money think continue continue into funding, over of volumes how that see flow the as large come in. big But because Bob, few to – We the next relief an anticipate Joaquin will hopeful money

So that through island. business the substitute and different program programs will it’s flow beyond XXXX In those our impact help they impact our how How the EBT program. into welfare and lines the business. will the electronic benefits that payments

way best for to model to We’re the still trying that determine XXXX.

a type to you modeling of flow XXXX. there’s for We to still any of know be try the going know, direction. that this ourselves point if significant means but it disingenuine to we’re would do Joaquin you at will want what even don’t and anything. change since add composition give funds, that So be I

Joaquin Castrillo

No. those I the of will impact types funds, and main Bob, eventually the think factor uncertainty around the timing the I mean is different how consumer.

in mentioned as So was numbers. and telling in In of Mac our shift funds, I next EBT the comments, that see actually scripted beginning will we year. the

a by EBT see we’ve will today, volume, the us. in we’ll some and fiscal type replaced of type is probably of of So decrease what how then in impact other plan, get uncertain seen again release but that after sales to funding that and as that – it’s still reflected for makes timing very consumer

Mac Schuessler

we focused what that But We can are the the up our by much opening we maintain also grow sure is hopefully market competitive and share Feds where grab. control categories. and but on we Bob, new innovative can’t and here control we how being what we making on put island,

Bob Napoli

and should know have is mean, I that? sell of stay Can the balance the flow target, outside given growth digit the the is deconversions, cash lots that get there? cross excluding I and acquisition, I guess there organic a performing obviously quarter. you America the now, Latin even opportunities how great are acquisition double secular you but get and grower trends. you Can M&A But how the be mean you are side. going? sheet right rate Puerto you capabilities on seeing, and have a I X% just then some this Rico, And of cash what

Mac Schuessler

Yes.

sit what would in ever I the region. been better today is, where Latin we in participating position So a say now across and have much we we because than we’re right are

have the to previously do revenue. country attrition some in have than you licensing licensing that that next we’ve have had a us better we model have the year hit going In a products going and and from We strong is model. model, we to management. it’s into processing, to about We specific get recurring change money do processing the ever more we’ve a talked need upfront,

pivot for be will next the that So year.

to we the of point, So Bob, your advantage secular take can trends.

they The that country and piece competition. change has the each do other that up in to pivot to markets open is

as So the or to when of we’ll rate. growth consortiums get we’ve been the if a will some and you ability successful in Chille you Columbia, that’s have look to leave but in Redeban see banks, hopefully nice Transbank secular Credibanco

model. we’re the at the assemble and right operating the assets right doing So things right build to EVERTEC

So the we do markets a be we will position. in when unique change, that think that
