1. Business and Basis of Presentation

Business

The Western Union Company ("Western Union" or the "Company") is a leader in global money movement and payment services, providing people and businesses with fast, reliable, and convenient ways to send money and make payments around the world. The Western Union® brand is globally recognized. The Company’s services are available through a network of agent locations in more than 200 countries and territories and also through money transfer transactions conducted and funded through websites and mobile applications marketed under the Company’s brands (“Branded Digital”) and transactions initiated on internet and mobile applications hosted by the Company’s third-party white label or co-branded digital partners. Each location in the Company’s agent network is capable of providing one or more of the Company’s services.

The Western Union business consists of the following segments:

•
Consumer-to-Consumer - The Consumer-to-Consumer operating segment facilitates money transfers which are primarily sent from retail agent locations worldwide or through websites and mobile devices. The Company’s money transfer service is provided through one interconnected global network. This service is available for international cross-border transfers and, in certain countries, intra-country transfers.
•
Business Solutions - On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC (collectively, "the Buyer"), and the final closing for this transaction occurred on July 1, 2023. Accordingly, the Company will no longer report Business Solutions revenues and operating expenses in future periods. See Note 4 for further information regarding this transaction. The Buyer has rebranded the sold operations within a new standalone company (now referred to as "Convera"). The Business Solutions operating segment facilitated payment and foreign exchange solutions, primarily cross-border, cross-currency transactions, for small and medium size enterprises and other organizations and individuals. The Business Solutions business related to exchanges of currency at spot rates, which enabled customers to make cross-currency payments, and in limited countries, the Company wrote foreign currency forward and option contracts for customers to facilitate future payments.

All businesses and other services that have not been classified in the above segments are reported as Other, which primarily includes the Company’s bill payment services which facilitate payments from consumers to businesses and other organizations and the Company’s money order services. Certain of the Company's corporate costs such as costs related to strategic initiatives, including costs for the review and closing of mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, are also included in Other. See Note 14 for further information regarding the Company’s segments.

There are legal or regulatory limitations on transferring certain assets of the Company outside of the countries where these assets are located. However, there are generally no limitations on the use of these assets within those countries. Additionally, the Company must meet minimum capital requirements in some countries in order to maintain operating licenses. As of December 31, 2022, the Company's restricted net assets associated with these asset limitations and minimum capital requirements totaled approximately $710 million.

Various aspects of the Company’s services and businesses are subject to United States federal, state, and local regulation, as well as regulation by foreign jurisdictions, including certain banking and other financial services regulations.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10‑Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In compliance with those instructions, certain information

and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for all periods presented.

In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all the normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows as of June 30, 2023 and for all periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Consistent with industry practice, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are unclassified due to the short-term nature of the Company’s settlement obligations contrasted with the Company’s ability to invest cash awaiting settlement in long-term investment securities.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2. Revenue

The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from consideration paid by customers to transfer money. These revenues vary by transaction based upon factors such as channel, send and receive locations, the principal amount sent, and the difference between the exchange rate we set to the customer and the rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market, when the money transfer involves different send and receive currencies. The Company also offers other services, which includes bill payment services, for which revenue is impacted by similar factors. The Company analyzes its different services individually to determine the appropriate basis for revenue recognition. For additional information on the Company's different services, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Revenues from consumer money transfers are included in the Company’s Consumer-to-Consumer segment, revenues from foreign exchange and payment services are included in the Company’s Business Solutions segment, and revenues from other services are not included in the Company’s segments and are reported as Other. See Note 14 for further information on the Company’s segments.

The substantial majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time. The following tables represent the disaggregation of revenue earned from contracts with customers by product type and region for the three and six months

3. Earnings Per Share

The calculation of basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Outstanding options to purchase Western Union stock and unvested shares of restricted stock are excluded from basic shares outstanding. 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 have vested, using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes proceeds from the exercise price of stock options and the unamortized compensation expense of options and restricted stock are available to acquire shares at an average market price throughout the period, and therefore, reduce the dilutive effect.

Shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation under the treasury stock method, primarily due to outstanding options to purchase shares of Western Union stock and restricted stock units, as the assumed proceeds of the options and restricted stock per unit were above the Company’s average share price during the periods and their effect was anti-dilutive, were 10.1 million and 8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 9.7 million and 7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The following table provides the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding (in millions):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30, |  |  | June 30, |
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |

4. Assets Held for Sale and Related Divestiture

In connection with the first closing, the Company reclassified $17.8 million of currency translation gains previously included within Accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") as a component of Gain on divestiture of business in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The second closing, which occurred on December 31, 2022 and included the United Kingdom operations, resulted in a gain of $96.9 million. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has classified the proceeds allocated to the European Union operations of approximately $104 million within Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance She ets. The final closing occurred on July 1, 2023 and included the European Union operations. The gain associated with the final closing that will be recognized in the third quarter of 2023 will be subject to regulatory capital adjustments. During the period between the first and final closings, the Company was required to pay the Buyer a measure of profit of the European Union and United Kingdom operations, while owned by the Company, adjusted for the occupancy charges for employees of the Buyer using Company facilities and other items, as contractually agreed, which was $1.5 million and $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $2.9 million and $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and was included in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The related income tax expense on this income was also passed to the Buyer.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value, as defined by the relevant accounting standards, represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. For additional information on how the Company measures fair value, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

There were no material, non-recurring fair value adjustments in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and there were no material, non-recurring fair value adjustments in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 other than approximately $9 million of property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use asset, and other intangible asset impairments associated with the Company's suspension of its operations in Russia and Belarus and the first closing of its Business Solutions divestiture in the six months ended June 30, 2022, as discussed further in Note 14. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Other Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts for many of the Company’s financial instruments, including certain cash and cash equivalents, settlement cash and cash equivalents, and settlement receivables and obligations approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The Company’s borrowings are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, and the aggregate fair value of these borrowings was based on quotes from multiple banks. Fixed-rate notes are carried in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their original issuance values as adjusted over time to accrete that value to par. As of June 30, 2023, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s borrowings were $2,813.0 million and $2,668.1 million, respectively (see Note 11). As of December 31, 2022, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s borrowings were $2,616.8 million and $2,442.5 million, respectively.

In 2022, the Company entered into reverse repurchase agreements, a form of secured lending, with broker-dealer affiliates of large U.S. banks, using a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Company's Business Solutions business. These agreements required the counterparties to pledge marketable securities with a value greater than the amount of cash transferred as collateral, which was held and valued by a third-party custodial bank. These investments generated interest income through the date of repurchase, at which point the purchase price together with the interest due was paid back to the Company. The Company has fully redeemed these investments as of June 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the carrying value of these investments, as reported in Other assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $100.0 million, which approximated fair value due to the creditworthiness of the counterparty, the value of the collateral, and the investments' short-term nature and variable interest rate.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees

The Company had approximately $160 million in outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees as of June 30, 2023, which were primarily held in connection with regulatory requirements, lease arrangements, and certain agent agreements. The Company expects to renew many of its letters of credit and bank guarantees prior to expiration.

Litigation and Related Contingencies

The Company is subject to certain claims and litigation that could result in losses, including damages, fines, and/or civil penalties, which could be significant, and in some cases, criminal charges. The Company regularly evaluates the status of legal matters to assess whether a loss is probable and reasonably estimable in determining whether an accrual is appropriate. Furthermore, in determining whether disclosure is appropriate, the Company evaluates each legal matter to assess if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss or additional material losses may have been incurred. The Company also evaluates whether an estimate of possible loss or range of loss can be made. Unless otherwise specified below, the Company believes that there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred for each of the matters described below.

For those matters that the Company believes there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred and can reasonably estimate the loss or potential loss, the reasonably possible potential litigation losses in excess of the Company’s recorded liability for probable and estimable losses was approximately $30 million as of June 30, 2023. For the remaining matters, management is unable to provide a meaningful estimate of the possible loss or

(Unaudited)

range of loss because, among other reasons: (i) the proceedings are in preliminary stages; (ii) specific damages have not been sought; (iii) damage claims are unsupported and/or unreasonable; (iv) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (v) there are significant factual issues to be resolved; or (vi) novel legal issues or unsettled legal theories are being asserted.

The outcomes of legal actions are unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, and it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even possible. It is also inherently difficult to estimate the amount of any loss and there may be matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible but not currently estimable. Accordingly, actual losses may be in excess of the established liability or the range of reasonably possible loss.

Legal Matters

In October 2015, Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil para su Defensa, an Argentinian consumer association, filed a purported class action lawsuit in Argentina’s National Commercial Court No. 19 against the Company’s subsidiary Western Union Financial Services Argentina S.R.L. (“WUFSA”). The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that WUFSA’s fees for money transfers sent from Argentina are excessive and that WUFSA does not provide consumers with adequate information about foreign exchange rates. The plaintiff is seeking, among other things, an order requiring WUFSA to reimburse consumers for the fees they paid and the foreign exchange revenue associated with money transfers sent from Argentina, plus punitive damages. The complaint does not specify a monetary value of the claim or a time period. In November 2015, the Court declared the complaint formally admissible as a class action. The notice of claim was served on WUFSA in May 2016, and in June 2016 WUFSA filed a response to the claim and moved to dismiss it on statute of limitations and standing grounds. In April 2017, the Court deferred ruling on the motion until later in the proceedings. The process for notifying potential class members has been completed, and the case is in the evidentiary stage. Due to the stage of this matter, the Company is unable to predict the outcome or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with this matter. WUFSA intends to defend itself vigorously.

In December 2022, a purported class action complaint was filed against several money transfer business defendants, including the Company, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that these defendants violated the federal Right to Financial Privacy Act and California’s Financial Information Privacy Act. The United States Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement are also named as defendants. The operative complaint alleges that the defendants violated plaintiffs’ financial privacy rights by sharing private financial information with law enforcement agencies through a program coordinated by the Transaction Record Analysis Center. On January 24, 2023, an amended complaint was filed naming the Company's subsidiary Western Union Financial Services, Inc. ("WUFSI") as a defendant in place of The Western Union Company. Due to the preliminary stage of this matter, the ultimate outcome and any potential financial impact to the Company cannot be reasonably determined at this time. WUFSI intends to defend itself vigorously in this matter.

In late 2017, three individuals filed a lawsuit against certain alleged Western Union entities (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the Commercial Court in Kinshasa-Gombe in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC"), which was later joined by three additional individuals. These six individuals (the "Plaintiffs"), including current and/or former DRC government officials, claim that their privacy rights were violated and sought €22.4 million in damages. In 2018, the Commercial Court in Kinshasa-Gombe entered a judgme nt against the Defendants in the amount of €10.5 million ($11.4 million as of June 30, 2023). In 2019, the Commercial Court in Kinshasa-Gombe entered a judgment against The Western Union Company ("TWUC") in the amount of €9 million ($9.8 million as of June 30, 2023) The business in the DRC is operated through independent agents. No Western Union entity has a presence in the country. The Plaintiffs have previously sought and may continue to attempt to seize funds from the Company's independent agents in the DRC to satisfy the judgments. The Defendants have learned that certain challenges to the judgments have been denied. The Defendants and TWUC intend to continue to challenge both judgments and defend themselves vigorously in these matters.

In addition to the principal matters described above, the Company is a party to a variety of other legal matters that arise in the normal course of the Company’s business. While the results of these other legal matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect either individually or in the aggregate on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

7. Related Party Transactions

The Company has ownership interests in certain of its agents accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company pays these agents commissions for money transfer and other services provided on the Company’s behalf. Commission expense recognized for these agents for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 totaled $11.5 million and $12.8 million, respectively, and $22.3 million and $24.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

8. Settlement Assets and Obligations

Settlement assets represent funds received or to be received from agents and others for unsettled money transfers, money orders, and consumer payments. The Company records corresponding settlement obligations relating to amounts payable under money transfers, money orders, and consumer payment service arrangements. Settlement assets and obligations also include amounts receivable from, and payable to, customers for the value of their cross-currency payment transactions related to the Business Solutions segment.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Receivables from agents and others primarily represent funds collected by such agents, but in transit to the Company, and were $1,980.0 million and $1,508.5 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Cash received by Western Union agents generally becomes available to the Company within one week after initial receipt by the agent. Western Union has a large and diverse agent base, thereby reducing the credit risk of the Company from any one agent. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its agents’ financial condition and credit worthiness.

Receivables from Business Solutions customers arose from cross-currency payment transactions in the Business Solutions segment. Business Solutions receivables totaled $8.9 million and $11.7 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Receivables occurred when funds were paid out to a beneficiary but not yet received.

The Company establishes and monitors an allowance for credit losses related to receivables from agents and others, and Business Solutions customers. The Company has estimated the allowance based on its historical collections experience, adjusted for current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions based on information known as of June 30, 2023.

The following tables summarize the activity in the allowance for credit losses on receivables from agents and others, and Business Solutions customers (in millions):

(a)
Provision does not include losses from chargebacks or fraud associated with transactions initiated through the Company’s digital channels, as these losses are not credit-related. The Company recognized losses that were not credit-related of $9.1 million and $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively, and $10.0 million and $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

In addition, from time to time, the Company makes advances to its agents. The Company generally owes settlement funds payable to these agents that offset these advances. These amounts advanced to agents are included within Other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, amounts advanced to agents were $184.1 million and $154.9 million, respectively, and the related allowances for credit losses were immaterial.

Investment Securities

Investment securities included in Settlement assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consist primarily of highly-rated state and municipal debt securities, including fixed-rate term notes and variable-rate demand notes. Variable-rate demand note securities can be put (sold at par) typically on a daily basis with settlement periods ranging from the same day to one week but have varying maturities through 2052. These securities may be used by the Company for short-term liquidity needs and held for short periods of time. Investment securities are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates and credit risk. The Company is required to hold highly-rated, investment grade securities and such investments are restricted to satisfy outstanding settlement obligations in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

The Company’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. Western Union regularly monitors credit risk and attempts to mitigate its exposure by investing in highly-rated securities and through investment diversification.

Unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred taxes. Available-for-sale securities with a fair value below the amortized cost basis are evaluated on an individual basis to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Factors that could indicate a credit loss exists include but are not limited to: (i) negative earnings performance, (ii) credit rating downgrades, or (iii) adverse changes in the regulatory or economic environment of the asset. Any impairment that is not credit-related is excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred taxes, unless the Company intends to sell the impaired security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovering its amortized cost basis. Credit-related impairments are recognized immediately as an adjustment to earnings, regardless of whether the Company has the ability or intent to hold the security to maturity and are limited to the difference between fair value and the amortized cost basis. The Company’s provision for credit losses on its available-for-sale securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and the related allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were immaterial.

The components of investment securities are as follows (in millions):

The majority of these securities are fixed-rate instruments.

The following summarizes investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2023, by the length of time the securities were in a continuous loss position (in millions):

Less Than One Year |  | Number of Securities |  |  | Fair Value |  |  | Unrealized Losses |
State and municipal debt securities |  |  | 111 |  |  | $ | 296.5 |  |  | $ | (5.6 | )
Asset-backed securities |  |  | 28 |  |  |  | 163.8 |  |  |  | (0.8 | )

One Year or Greater |  | Number of Securities |  |  | Fair Value |  |  | Unrealized Losses |
State and municipal debt securities |  |  | 267 |  |  | $ | 609.4 |  |  | $ | (62.5 | )
Corporate debt securities |  |  | 11 |  |  |  | 40.5 |  |  |  | (5.2 | )
United States government agency mortgage-backed securities |  |  | 7 |  |  |  | 10.7 |  |  |  | (0.6 | )

As noted above, the Company's provision for credit losses on its investment securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and the related allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2023 were immaterial, as the unrealized losses were driven by a rise in U.S. Treasury interest rates. As of June 30, 2023, the Company did not intend to sell its securities in an unrealized loss position and did not expect it would be required to sell these securities prior to recovering their amortized cost basis.

The following summarizes the contractual maturities of available-for-sale securities within Settlement assets as of June 30, 2023 (in millions):

|  | Fair Value |
Due within 1 year |  | $ | 115.9 |
Due after 1 year through 5 years |  |  | 676.8 |
Due after 5 years through 10 years |  |  | 437.6 |
Due after 10 years |  |  | 189.7 |
Total |  | $ | 1,420.0 |

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay the obligations or the Company may have the right to put the obligation prior to its contractual maturity, as with variable-rate

Cash Dividends Paid

In both the first and second quarters of 2023 and 2022, the Company's Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.235 per common share, representing $176.0 million and $182.5 million in total dividends, respectively. $88.0 million was paid on June 30, 2023, $88.0 million was paid on March 31, 2023, $90.8 million was paid on June 30, 2022, and $91.7 million was paid on March 31, 2022. On July 19, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.235 per common share, payable on September 29, 2023.

Share Repurchases

On February 10, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized $1.0 billion of common stock repurchases through December 31, 2024. No shares were repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2023 under this share repurchase authorization. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 9.2 million shares were repurchased under this authorization for $171.0 million, excluding commissions, at an average cost of $18.52. As of June 30, 2023, $648.2 million remained available under this share repurchase authorization. The amounts included in the Common stock repurchased line in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows represent both shares authorized by the Board of Directors for repurchase under publicly announced authorizations and shares withheld from employees to cover tax withholding obligations on restricted stock units that have vested.

10. Derivatives

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily the euro, and, to a lesser degree, the Mexican peso, the British pound, and other currencies, related to forecasted revenues and settlement assets and obligations, as well as on certain foreign currency denominated cash and other asset and liability positions. The Company was also exposed to risk from derivative contracts, primarily from customer derivatives, arising from its cross-currency Business Solutions payment operations. Additionally, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to changes in market rates both prior to and subsequent to the issuance of debt. The Company has used derivatives to: (i) minimize its exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates and (ii) facilitate cross-currency Business Solutions payments by writing derivatives to customers.

The Company executes derivatives with established financial institutions; the substantial majority of these financial institutions have a credit rating of "A-" or higher from a major credit rating agency. Customer derivatives written by the Company’s Business Solutions operations primarily involve small and medium size enterprises. The primary credit risk inherent in derivative agreements represents the possibility that a loss may occur from the nonperformance of a counterparty to the agreements. The Company performs a review of the credit risk of these counterparties at the inception of the contract and on an ongoing basis, while also monitoring the concentration of its contracts with any individual counterparty. The Company anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the agreements, but takes action when doubt arises about the counterparties’ ability to perform. These actions have included requiring Business Solutions customers to post or increase collateral, and for all counterparties, the possible termination of the related contracts. The Company’s hedged foreign currency exposures are in liquid currencies; consequently, there is minimal risk that appropriate derivatives to maintain the hedging program would not be available in the future.

Foreign Currency Derivatives

The Company’s policy is to use longer duration foreign currency forward contracts, with maturities of up to 36 months at inception and a targeted weighted-average maturity of approximately one year, to help mitigate some of the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the United States dollar could have on forecasted revenues denominated in other currencies related to its business. As of June 30, 2023, these foreign currency forward contracts had maturities of a maximum of 24 months with a weighted-average maturity of approximately one year. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges of forecasted revenue, with effectiveness assessed based on changes in the spot rate of the affected currencies during the period of designation and thus time value is excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. The initial value of the excluded components is amortized into Revenues within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company also uses short duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities ranging from a few days to one month, to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on settlement assets and obligations between initiation and settlement. In addition, forward contracts, typically with maturities of less than one year at inception, are utilized to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated cash and other asset and liability positions. None of these contracts are designated as accounting hedges.

Business Solutions Operations

On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC, and the final closing for this transaction occurred on July 1, 2023. See Note 4 for further information regarding this transaction. Prior to the final closing, t he Company wrote derivatives, primarily foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts, mostly with small and medium size enterprises and derived a currency spread from this activity as part of its Business Solutions operations. The Company aggregated its Business Solutions foreign currency exposures arising from customer contracts, including the derivative contracts described above, and hedged the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with Convera through the end of the final closing of the Business Solutions divestiture. The derivatives written were part of the broader portfolio of foreign currency positions arising from the Company’s cross-currency payments operations, which primarily included spot exchanges of currency in addition to forwards and options. Foreign exchange revenues from the total portfolio of positions included in Revenues in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income were $13.5 million and $33.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $27.8 million and $112.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. None of the derivative contracts used in Business Solutions operations were designated as accounting hedges and the majority of these derivative contracts have a duration at inception of greater than one year.

The aggregate equivalent United States dollar notional amount of derivative customer contracts held by the Company in its Business Solutions operations was approximately $1.5 billion and $3.0 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the significant majority of customer contracts are written in the following currencies: the United States dollar and euro.

(a)
In many circumstances, the Company allowed its Business Solutions customers to settle part or all of their derivative contracts prior to maturity. However, the offsetting positions entered into with Convera did not allow for similar settlement. To mitigate this, additional foreign currency contracts were entered into with Convera to offset the original economic hedge contracts. This frequently resulted in changes in the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities that did not directly align with the performance in the underlying derivatives business.

The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities associated with contracts that include netting language that the Company believes to be enforceable have been netted in the following tables to present the Company’s net exposure with

these counterparties. The Company’s rights under these agreements generally allow for transactions to be settled on a net basis, including upon early termination, which could occur upon the counterparty’s default, a change in control, or other conditions.

In addition, certain of the Company’s other agreements include netting provisions, the enforceability of which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, depending on the circumstances. Due to the uncertainty related to the enforceability of these provisions, the derivative balances associated with these agreements are included within "Derivatives that are not or may not be subject to master netting arrangement or similar agreement" in the following tables. In certain circumstances, the Company has required its Business Solutions customers to maintain collateral balances which may mitigate the risk associated with potential customer defaults.

The following tables summarize the gross and net fair value of derivative assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in millions):

Foreign exchange losses on settlement assets and obligations, cash balances, and other assets and liabilities, not including amounts related to derivative activity as displayed above and included in Selling, general, and administrative in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, were $3.1 million and $39.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $2.9 million and $49.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

All cash flows associated with derivatives are included in Cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Based on June 30, 2023 foreign exchange rates, an accumulated other comprehensive pre-tax gain of $7.5 million related to the foreign currency forward contracts is expected to be reclassified into Revenues within the next 12 months.

12. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rates on pre-tax income were 18.6% and 17.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 17.4% and 18.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in the Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to discrete tax effects in the current period, partially offset by the effects of the sale of the Company's Business Solutions business and lower amounts of research and development expenses required to be capitalized in the current year. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to the effects of the sale of the Company's Business Solutions business and lower amounts of research and development expenses required to be capitalized in the current year, partially offset by discrete tax effects in the current period. The sale of the Business Solutions business has been and will continue to be included in the Company's estimated annual effective rate in accordance with the gains related to each closing.

Unrecognized tax benefits are reflected in Income taxes payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $297.5 million and $290.7 million, respectively, including interest and penalties.

The Company’s tax filings are subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, and various non-United States jurisdictions. The conclusion of the examination of the Company’s consolidated federal income tax returns for 2017 and 2018 resulted in both agreed and unagreed adjustments. The agreed adjustments have been reflected in the Company’s financial statements. The Company is contesting the unagreed adjustments at the IRS Appeals level and believes its reserves for these unagreed adjustments are adequate. The statute of limitations for the U.S. federal returns for 2017 and 2018 has been extended to March 31, 2024. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns since 2019 are also eligible to be examined.

13. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $9.5 million and $12.3 million, respectively, resulting primarily from stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based restricted stock units in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $17.5 million and $23.0 million, respectively.

14. Segments

As further described in Note 1, the Company classifies its business into two segments: Consumer-to-Consumer and Business Solutions. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities, about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in allocating resources and assessing performance.

The Consumer-to-Consumer operating segment facilitates money transfers between two consumers. The segment includes five geographic regions whose functions are primarily related to generating, managing, and maintaining agent relationships and localized marketing activities. The Company includes Branded Digital transactions in its regions. By means of common processes and systems, these regions, including Branded Digital, create one interconnected global network for consumer transactions, thereby constituting one Consumer-to-Consumer money transfer business and one operating segment.

The Business Solutions operating segment facilitated payment and foreign exchange solutions, primarily cross-border, cross-currency transactions, for small and medium size enterprises, and other organizations and individuals. On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to the Buyer, and the final closing for this transaction occurred on July 1, 2023. Accordingly, the Company will no longer report Business Solutions revenues and operating expenses in future periods. See Note 4 for further information regarding this transaction.

All businesses and other services that have not been classified in the above segments are reported as Other, which primarily includes the Company’s bill payment services which facilitate payments from consumers to businesses and other organizations and the Company’s money order services.

Corporate costs, including overhead expenses, are allocated to the segments primarily based on a percentage of the segments’ revenue compared to total revenue. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company stopped allocating corporate costs to its Business Solutions segment, given its agreement to sell this business, as discussed further in Note 4.

(a)
On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to the Buyer. The sale was completed in three closings, the first of which occurred on March 1, 2022. The second occurred on December 31, 2022, and the final occurred on July 1, 2023. See Note 4 for further information regarding this transaction.

While certain of the expenses are identifiable to the Company's segments, the expenses are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses are therefore excluded from the Company's segment operating income results.
(c)
Represents severance, expenses associated with streamlining the Company's organizational and legal structure, and other expenses associated with the Company's program to redeploy expenses in its cost base through optimizations in vendor management, real estate, marketing, and people strategy, as previously announced in October 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2022, expenses incurred under the program included non-cash impairments of operating lease right-of-use assets and property and equipment. The expenses are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses are therefore excluded from the Company's segment operating income results.

Overview

We are a leading provider of money movement and payment services, operating in two business segments:

•
Consumer-to-Consumer - Our Consumer-to-Consumer operating segment facilitates money transfers, which are primarily sent from our retail agent locations worldwide or through websites and mobile devices. Our money transfer service is provided through one interconnected global network. This service is available for international cross-border transfers and, in certain countries, intra-country transfers.
•
Business Solutions - On August 4, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC, and the final closing for this transaction occurred on July 1, 2023. Accordingly, we will no longer report Business Solutions revenues and operating expenses in future periods. Refer to Part 1, Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 4, Assets Held for Sale and Related Divestiture for further information regarding this transaction. Our Business Solutions operating segment facilitated payment and foreign exchange solutions, primarily cross-border, cross-currency transactions, for small and medium size enterprises and other organizations and individuals. The segment’s business related to exchanges of currency at spot rates, which enabled customers to make cross-currency payments and in limited countries, we wrote foreign currency forward and option contracts for customers to facilitate future payments.

All businesses and other services that have not been classified in the above segments are reported as Other, which primarily includes our bill payment services which facilitate payments from consumers to businesses and other organizations and our money order services. Certain of our corporate costs such as costs related to strategic initiatives, including costs for the review and closing of mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, are also included in Other. Additional information on our segments is provided in the Segment Discussion below.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of our consolidated results of operations and segment results refers to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022. The results of operations should be read in conjunction with the discussion of our segment results of operations, which provide more detailed discussions concerning certain components of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between our segments have been eliminated. The below information has been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") unless otherwise noted. All amounts provided in this section are rounded to the nearest tenth of a million, except as otherwise noted. As a result, the percentage changes and margins disclosed herein may not recalculate precisely using the rounded amounts provided.

Our revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were impacted by fluctuations in the United States dollar compared to foreign currencies. Fluctuations in the United States dollar compared to foreign currencies, net of the impact of foreign currency hedges, resulted in a decrease to revenues of $40.6 million and $75.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 relative to the corresponding periods in the prior year.

On August 4, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC (collectively, "the Buyer”) for cash consideration of $910.0 million. The sale was completed in three closings, with the entire cash consideration collected at the first closing and allocated to the closings on a relative fair value basis. The first closing occurred on March 1, 2022, excluded the operations in the European Union and the United Kingdom, and resulted in a gain of $151.4 million. The second closing, which occurred on December 31, 2022 and included the United Kingdom operations, resulted in a gain of $96.9 million. The final closing occurred on July 1, 2023 and included the European Union operations. The gain associated with the final closing that will be recognized in the third quarter of 2023 will be subject to regulatory capital adjustments. During the period between the first and final closings, we were required to pay the Buyer a measure of profit of the European Union and United Kingdom operations, while we owned them, adjusted for the provision for income taxes, occupancy charges for employees of the Buyer using our facilities, and other items. Refer to Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 4, Assets Held for Sale and Related Divestiture for further discussion.

Business Solutions revenues included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income were $14.3 million and $35.7 million and direct operating expenses, excluding corporate allocations, were $12.6 million and $27.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Business Solutions revenues were $29.7 million and $124.8 million and direct operating expenses, excluding corporate allocations, were $26.1 million and $90.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, divestiture costs directly associated with this transaction were $1.0 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, divestiture costs directly associated with this transaction were $0.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

Beginning in March 2023, we experienced a significant increase in our business originating from Iraq which contributed 10% and 6% to our revenue growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 relative to the corresponding prior periods. Over the past few months, we have been in regular discussions with policymakers in both the United States and Iraq about the elevated remittance volumes flowing through our network in Iraq. We believe this volume to be the effect of policy changes by the Central Bank of Iraq and have actively partnered with regulators to assess and evaluate increased funds flows from a regulatory, compliance, and risk perspective. We also evaluate and apply our own compliance and risk controls. Due to recent United States government actions, including those announced on July 19, 2023 impacting 14 Iraqi banks, some of whom were our agents, the ongoing and future application of our own compliance and risk controls, and future regulatory and policy changes, we expect these elevated remittance volumes relating to Iraq to be significantly lower going forward.

In March 2022, we suspended our operations in Russia and Belarus, which are included in our Consumer-to-Consumer segment, due to the Russia/Ukraine conflict. Revenues associated with the Russia and Belarus operations, including transactions sent from, into, and within these countries for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were approximately $28 million.

Revenues Overview

Revenues are primarily derived from consideration paid by customers to transfer money. These revenues vary by transaction based upon factors such as channel, send and receive locations, the principal amount sent, and the difference between the exchange rate we set to the customer and the rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market, when the money transfer involves different send and receive currencies. We also offer several other services, including foreign exchange and payment services and other bill payment services, for which revenue is impacted by similar factors.

Due to the significance of the effect that foreign exchange fluctuations against the United States dollar can have on our reported revenues, constant currency results have been provided in the table below for consolidated revenues. Constant currency results assume foreign revenues are translated from foreign currencies to the United States dollar, net of the effect of foreign currency hedges, at rates consistent with those in the prior year. We have also disclosed the impact of our Business Solutions divestiture on our revenues in the table below. Constant currency measures and measures that exclude the impact of divestitures are non-GAAP financial measures and are provided so that revenue can be viewed without the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and divestitures of our businesses, which is consistent with how management evaluates our revenue results and trends. We believe that these measures provide management and investors with information about revenue results and trends that eliminates currency volatility and divestitures, thereby providing greater clarity regarding, and increasing the comparability of, our underlying results and trends. These disclosures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the percentage change in revenue on a GAAP basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. Other companies may calculate and define similarly labeled items differently, which may limit the usefulness of this measure for comparative purposes.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth our consolidated revenue results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
(dollars in millions) |  | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | % Change |  | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | % Change
Revenues, as reported (GAAP) |  | $1,170.0 |  | $1,138.3 |  | 3% |  | $2,206.9 |  | $2,294.0 |  | (4)%
Foreign currency impact (a) |  |  |  |  |  | 3% |  |  |  |  |  | 4%
Divestitures impact (b) |  |  |  |  |  | 3% |  |  |  |  |  | 4%
Revenue change, constant currency adjusted, excluding Business Solutions (Non-GAAP) |  |  |  |  |  | 9% |  |  |  |  |  | 4%

(a)
Fluctuations in the United States dollar compared to foreign currencies, net of the impact of foreign currency hedges, resulted in a decrease to revenues of $40.6 million and $75.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, when compared to foreign currency rates in the corresponding periods in the prior year.
(b)
Business Solutions revenues included in our results were $14.3 million and $35.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $29.7 million and $124.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

In addition to the impacts from foreign currency and the divestiture of our Business Solutions business, as described above, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, GAAP revenues benefited from an increase in Consumer-to-Consumer revenues in Iraq, as discussed above, and an increase in local currency revenue per transaction in our Argentine operations due to inflation, partially offset by revenue declines in our Europe and CIS and North America regions. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, GAAP revenues decreased when compared to the corresponding period in the prior year as a result of the suspension of our operations in Russia and Belarus in March 2022.

Operating Expenses Overview

Operating expense redeployment program

On October 20, 2022, we announced an operating expense redeployment program which aims to redeploy approximately $150 million in expenses in our current cost base over the next 5 years, accomplished through optimizations in vendor management, our real estate footprint, marketing, and people strategy. We believe these changes will allow us to invest in strategic initiatives. The timing and pace of this redeployment may vary, and we believe that we will continue to refine aspects of the program throughout 2023. We have incurred and expect to incur incremental expenses associated with the implementation of this program. We incurred $6.0 million and $2.3 million of Cost of services and Selling, general, and administrative expenses, respectively, for a total of $8.3 million of expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023. We incurred $7.9 million and $7.5 million of Cost of services and Selling, general, and administrative expenses, respectively, for a total of $15.4 million of expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023. We have incurred $37.2 million of total expenses under this program through June 30, 2023.

Cost of Services

Cost of services primarily consists of agent commissions, which represented more than 60% of total cost of services for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Cost of services increased compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to increased agent commissions, which generally vary with revenues, as well as increased investment in information technology, partially offset by a decrease associated with the Business Solutions divestiture.

Selling, General, and Administrative

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Selling, general and administrative expenses were impacted by a decrease associated with the Business Solutions divestiture, a reduction in general and administrative expenses in our shared services functions, and a reduction in advertising expenses, partially offset by costs associated with our operating expense redeployment program and increases in employee incentive compensation. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased due to exit costs associated with the suspension of our operations in Russia and Belarus and the Business Solutions divestiture that were incurred in the prior period.

Total Other Income/(Expense), Net

Total other income/(expense), net for the six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, was impacted by the gain on the first closing of the Business Solutions divestiture in the prior year.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rates on pre-tax income were 18.6% and 17.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 17.4% and 18.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to discrete tax effects in the current period, partially offset by the effects of the sale of our Business Solutions business and lower amounts of research and development expenses required to be capitalized in the current year. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to the effects of the sale of our Business Solutions business and lower amounts of research and development expenses required to be capitalized in the current year, partially offset by discrete tax effects in the current period.

As of June 30, 2023, the total amount of tax contingency reserves was $243.1 million, including accrued interest and penalties, net of related items.

Earnings Per Share

During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.47 and $0.50, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.88 and $0.87, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2022, basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.25. Outstanding options to purchase Western Union stock and unvested shares of restricted stock are excluded from basic shares outstanding. 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 have vested. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were 10.1 million and 8.6 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were 9.7 million and 7.9 million, respectively, of shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation under the treasury stock method, primarily due to outstanding options to purchase shares of Western Union stock and restricted stock units, as the assumed proceeds of the options and restricted stock per unit were above our average share price during the periods and their effect was anti-dilutive.

Earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year were impacted by the previously described factors impacting net income, offset by a lower number of average shares outstanding.

Segment Discussion

We manage our business around the consumers and businesses we serve and the types of services we offer. Each of our segments addresses a different combination of consumer groups, distribution networks, and services offered. Our segments are Consumer-to-Consumer and Business Solutions. On August 4, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our Business Solutions business, as discussed above. The operations of the Business Solutions business sold in the final closing have been included in Revenues and Operating income after the second closing and have completely transitioned to the Buyer as of the final closing. However, between the first and final closings, we were required to pay the Buyer a measure of the profits from these operations, while we owned them, adjusted for other charges, and this expense is recognized in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred $8.3 million and $15.4 million of costs, respectively, associated with our operating expense redeployment program, as described above, primarily related to severance and expenses associated with streamlining the Company's organizational and legal structure. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred $11.2 million and $7.7 million of exit costs associated with the suspension of our Russia and Belarus operations and the Business Solutions divestiture, respectively. These exit costs were primarily related to severance and non-cash impairments of property and equipment, an operating lease right-of-use asset, and other

intangible assets. While certain of the expenses are identifiable to our segments, the expenses are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses are therefore excluded from our segment operating income results.

The following table sets forth the components of segment revenues as a percentage of the consolidated totals for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30, |  |  | June 30, |

Consumer-to-Consumer Segment

The following table sets forth our Consumer-to-Consumer segment results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
(dollars and transactions in millions) |  | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | % Change |  | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | % Change

Consumer-to-Consumer transactions |  | 70.6 |  | 68.2 |  | 4% |  | 135.9 |  | 137.9 |  | (1)%

Our Consumer-to-Consumer money transfer service facilitates money transfers sent from our retail agent locations worldwide and money transfer transactions conducted and funded through websites and mobile applications marketed under our brands ("Branded Digital"). The segment includes five geographic regions whose functions are primarily related to generating, managing, and maintaining agent relationships and localized marketing activities. We include Branded Digital transactions in our regions. By means of common processes and systems, these regions, including Branded Digital transactions, create one interconnected global network for consumer transactions, thereby constituting one Consumer-to-Consumer money transfer business and one operating segment.

Transaction volume is the primary generator of revenue in our Consumer-to-Consumer segment. A Consumer-to-Consumer transaction constitutes the transfer of funds to a designated recipient utilizing one of our consumer money transfer services. The geographic split for transactions and revenue in the table that follows is determined based upon the region where the money transfer is initiated. Included in each region’s transaction and revenue percentages in the tables below are Branded Digital transactions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Where reported separately in the discussion below, Branded Digital consists of 100% of the transactions conducted and funded through that channel.

The table below sets forth revenue and transaction changes by geographic region compared to the same period in the prior year. Additionally, due to the significance of our Consumer-to-Consumer segment to our overall results, we have also provided constant currency results for our Consumer-to-Consumer segment revenues. Consumer-to-Consumer segment constant currency revenue growth/(decline) is a non-GAAP financial measure, as further discussed in Revenues Overview above.

(a)
Constant currency revenue growth assumes that revenues denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the United States dollar, net of the effect of foreign currency hedges, at rates consistent with those in the corresponding prior period.
(b)
As noted above, Branded Digital revenues are included in the regions.

The table below sets forth regional revenues as a percentage of our Consumer-to-Consumer revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30, |  |  | June 30, |

APAC |  |  | 5 | % |  |  | 6 | % |  |  | 6 | % |  |  | 6 | %

Branded Digital, which is included in the regional percentages above, represented approximately 21% and 22% of our Consumer-to-Consumer revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 21% and 22% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Our consumers transferred $27.5 billion and $23.4 billion in cross-border principal for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $50.5 billion and $47.2 billion in cross-border principal for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in cross-border principal transferred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year was primarily attributable to principal growth due to a change in monetary policy in Iraq, as discussed above, and growth in our NA, LACA, and APAC regions. Consumer-to-Consumer cross-border principal is the amount of consumer funds transferred to a designated recipient in a country or territory that differs from the country or territory from which the transaction was initiated. Consumer-to-Consumer cross-border principal is a metric used by management to monitor and better understand the growth in our underlying business relative to competitors, as well as changes in our market share of global remittances.

Revenues

Both Consumer-to-Consumer money transfer revenue and transactions increased 4% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year and decreased 1% for the six months ended June 30,

40

Table of Contents

2023, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Fluctuations in the United States dollar compared to foreign currencies, net of the impact of foreign currency hedges, negatively impacted revenue by 1% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year.

In our Consumer-to-Consumer regions, the decrease in NA revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year was primarily due to promotional pricing related to our new Branded Digital go-to-market strategy and a continued decline in our U.S. domestic business. Our EU & CIS revenues were negatively impacted by pricing and continued transaction declines for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, EU & CIS revenues were negatively impacted by our suspension of operations in Russia and Belarus. Revenues in the EU & CIS region were and will continue to be negatively impacted by the loss of a significant retail agent in the fourth quarter of 2022. Revenue growth in the MEASA region was driven by a change in monetary policy in Iraq, as discussed above, and revenue growth in the LACA region benefited from an increase in local currency revenue per transaction in Argentina, and strength in Ecuador and Venezuela.

We have historically implemented price reductions or price increases throughout many of our global corridors. We will likely continue to implement price changes from time to time in response to competition and other factors. Price reductions generally reduce margins and adversely affect financial results in the short term and may also adversely affect financial results in the long term if transaction volumes do not increase sufficiently. Price increases may adversely affect transaction volumes, as consumers may not use our services if we fail to price them appropriately. We believe revenues could continue to be adversely impacted by price reductions we have implemented in connection with our go-to-market strategy.

Operating Income

Consumer-to-Consumer operating income increased 2% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, and was impacted by an increase in revenues, as discussed above, partially offset by agent commissions, which generally vary with revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Consumer-to-Consumer operating income decreased 6%, compared to the prior period, and was impacted by a decrease in revenues, as discussed above. Consumer-to-Consumer operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was impacted by a reduction in general and administrative expenses in our shared services functions and a reduction in advertising expenses, partially offset by increased investment in information technology and increases in employee incentive compensation.

Business Solutions

The following table sets forth our Business Solutions segment results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
(dollars in millions) |  | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | % Change |  | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | % Change
Revenues |  | $14.3 |  | $35.7 |  | (60)% |  | $29.7 |  | $124.8 |  | (76)%
Operating income |  | $1.8 |  | $8.3 |  | (79)% |  | $3.7 |  | $35.8 |  | (90)%
Operating income margin |  | 12% |  | 23% |  |  |  | 12% |  | 29% |  |

Revenues

Business Solutions revenue decreased 60% and 76% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the first and second closings of the sale of our Business Solutions business, which occurred on March 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022, as described further above.

41

Table of Contents

Operating Income

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the decrease in operating income when compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year was impacted by the first and second closings of the sale of our Business Solutions business.

Effective January 1, 2022, we stopped allocating corporate costs to our Business Solutions segment, given our agreement to sell this business.

Other

Other primarily consists of our cash-based bill payments businesses in Argentina and the United States, in addition to our money order services.

The following table sets forth Other results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,

Calculation not meaningful.

Revenues

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, Other revenues increased primarily due to increased investment revenues associated with our money order investment securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, revenues also increased due to an increase in local currency revenue per transaction in our cash-based bill payments services offered at retail locations in Argentina, due to inflation, partially offset by the strengthening of the United States dollar against the Argentine peso.

Operating Income

Other operating income decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year due to increased investment in information technology, an increase in consulting expenses associated with new services, and a reduction in the reimbursement of expenses associated with transition services provided after the first and second closings of the sale of our Business Solutions business, partially offset by an increase in revenue.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Our primary source of liquidity has been cash generated from our operating activities, primarily from net income and fluctuations in working capital. Our working capital is affected by the timing of payments for employee and agent incentives, interest payments on our outstanding borrowings and timing of income tax payments, among other items. Many of our annual employee incentive compensation and agent incentive payments are made in the first quarter following the year they were incurred. The majority of our interest payments are due in the second and fourth quarters. The annual payments resulting from the United States tax reform legislation enacted in 2017 (the “Tax Act”) include amounts related to the United States taxation of certain previously undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. These payments are due in the second quarter of each year through 2025.

42

Table of Contents

Our future cash flows could be impacted by a variety of factors, some of which are out of our control. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions, especially those impacting migrant populations, changes in income tax laws or the status of income tax audits, including the resolution of outstanding tax matters, and the settlement or resolution of legal contingencies.

Substantially all of our cash flows from operating activities have been generated from subsidiaries. Most of these cash flows are generated from our regulated subsidiaries. Our regulated subsidiaries may transfer all excess cash to the parent company for general corporate use, except for assets subject to legal or regulatory restrictions, including: (i) requirements to maintain cash and other qualifying investment balances, free of any liens or other encumbrances, related to the payment of certain of our money transfer and other payment obligations, (ii) other legal or regulatory restrictions, including statutory or formalized minimum net worth requirements, and (iii) restrictions on transferring assets outside of the countries where these assets are located.

We currently believe we have adequate liquidity to meet our business needs, including payments under our debt and other obligations, through our existing cash balances, our ability to generate cash flows through operations, and our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility"), which expires in January 2025 and supports our commercial paper program. Our commercial paper program enables us to issue unsecured commercial paper notes in an amount not to exceed $1.5 billion outstanding at any time, reduced to the extent of any borrowings outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility.

To help ensure availability of our worldwide cash where needed, we utilize a variety of planning and financial strategies, including decisions related to the amounts, timing, and manner by which cash is repatriated or otherwise made available from our international subsidiaries. These decisions can influence our overall tax rate and impact our total liquidity. We regularly evaluate our United States cash requirements, taking tax consequences and other factors into consideration and also the potential uses of cash internationally to determine the appropriate level of dividend repatriations of our foreign source income.

Cash and Investment Securities

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had Cash and cash equivalents of $1,585.9 million and $1,291.1 million, respectively, which includes $5.2 million related to Business Solutions as of December 31, 2022. As described in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 4, Assets Held for Sale and Related Divestiture, we collected the entirety of the cash consideration related to the sale of our Business Solutions business, subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions.

In many cases, we receive funds from money transfers and certain other payment services before we settle the payment of those transactions. These funds, referred to as Settlement assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are not used to support our operations. However, we earn income from investing these funds. We maintain a portion of these settlement assets in highly liquid investments, classified as Cash and cash equivalents within Settlement assets, to fund settlement obligations.

Investment securities, classified within Settlement assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $1,419.7 million and $1,333.4 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and consist primarily of highly-rated state and municipal debt securities. These investment securities are held in order to comply with state licensing requirements in the United States and are required to have credit ratings of "A-" or better from a major credit rating agency. Refer to Part 1, Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 8, Settlement Assets and Obligations for more details regarding investment securities.

Investment securities are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates and credit risk. We regularly monitor credit risk and attempt to mitigate our exposure by investing in highly-rated securities and diversifying our investment portfolio. Our investment securities are also actively managed with respect to concentration. As of June 30, 2023, all investments with a single issuer and each individual security represented less than 10% of our investment securities portfolio.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities decreased to $264.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $306.8 million in the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily due to increased transition tax payments related to our 2017 United States federal tax liability. Cash provided by operating activities can be impacted by changes to our consolidated net income, in addition to fluctuations in our working capital balances, among other factors.

Financing Resources

As of June 30, 2023, we had outstanding borrowings at par value of $2,824.6 million. The significant majority of these outstanding borrowings consist of unsecured fixed-rate notes with maturities ranging from 2025 to 2040.

Commercial paper and cash, including cash generated from operations, were used to repay $300.0 million of the aggregate principal amount of 4.250% unsecured notes due in June 2023.

Our Revolving Credit Facility provides for unsecured financing facilities in an aggregate amount of $1.5 billion, including a $250.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. Interest due under the Revolving Credit Facility is fixed for the term of each borrowing and is payable according to the terms of that borrowing. Generally, interest is calculated using a selected term benchmark rate plus an interest rate margin of 110 basis points. A facility fee is also payable quarterly at an annual rate of 15 basis points on the total facility, regardless of usage. Both the interest rate margin and facility fee percentage are based on certain of our credit ratings. Our Revolving Credit Facility allows us to draw loans payable based upon the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, or the Sterling Overnight Index Average.

The purpose of our Revolving Credit Facility, which is diversified through a group of 19 participating institutions, is to provide general liquidity and to support our commercial paper program, which we believe enhances our short-term credit rating. The largest commitment from any single financial institution within the total committed balance of $1.5 billion is approximately 11%. As of June 30, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. If the amount available to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility decreased, or if the Revolving Credit Facility were eliminated, the cost and availability of borrowing under the commercial paper program may be impacted.

Pursuant to our commercial paper program, we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes in an amount not to exceed $1.5 billion outstanding at any time, reduced to the extent of borrowings outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility. Our commercial paper borrowings may have maturities of up to 397 days from date of issuance. Interest rates for borrowings are based on market rates at the time of issuance. We had $674.6 million of commercial paper borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2023. Our commercial paper borrowings as of June 30, 2023 had a weighted-average annual interest rate of approximately 5.3% and a weighted-average term of approximately 5 days. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the average commercial paper balance outstanding was $158.3 million, and the maximum balance outstanding was $885.0 million. Proceeds from our commercial paper borrowings were used for the repayment of our notes due in June 2023, general corporate purposes, and working capital needs, including the settlement of our money transfer obligations prior to collecting receivables from agents or others.

On January 4, 2022, we repaid all remaining borrowings owed under our prior term loan facility for total consideration of $300.0 million, using proceeds from our commercial paper and cash, including cash generated from operations. We are no longer able to borrow money under this facility.

Cash Priorities

Liquidity

Our objective is to maintain strong liquidity and a capital structure consistent with investment-grade credit ratings. We have existing cash balances, cash flows from operating activities, access to the commercial paper markets, and our Revolving Credit Facility available to support the needs of our business.

Our ability to grow the business, make investments in our business, make acquisitions, return capital to shareholders, including through dividends and share repurchases, and service our debt and tax obligations will depend on our ability to continue to generate excess operating cash through our operating subsidiaries and to continue to receive dividends from

those operating subsidiaries, our ability to obtain adequate financing and our ability to identify acquisitions that align with our long-term strategy. For additional information, please refer to Part II, Item 5, Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Capital Expenditures

The total aggregate amount paid for contract costs, purchases of property and equipment, and purchased and developed software was $90.1 million and $84.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amounts paid for new and renewed agent contracts vary depending on the terms of existing contracts as well as the timing of new and renewed contract signings. Other capital expenditures during these periods included investments in our information technology infrastructure.

Share Repurchases and Dividends

On February 10, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized $1.0 billion of common stock repurchases through December 31, 2024. No shares were repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2023 under this share repurchase authorization. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 9.2 million shares were repurchased under this authorization for $171.0 million, excluding commissions, at an average cost of $18.52. As of June 30, 2023, $648.2 million remained available under this share repurchase authorization.

Our Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.235 per common share in the first and second quarters of 2023, representing $176.0 million in total dividends. On July 19, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.235 per common share, payable on September 29, 2023.

Material Cash Requirements

Debt Service Requirements

Our 2023 and future debt service requirements will include payments on all outstanding indebtedness, including any borrowings under our commercial paper program. Our next scheduled principal payment on our outstanding notes is in 2025.

2017 United States Federal Tax Liability

The Tax Act imposed a tax on certain of our previously undistributed foreign earnings. This tax charge, combined with our other 2017 United States taxable income and tax attributes, resulted in a 2017 United States federal tax liability of approximately $800 million, of which approximately $358 million remained as of June 30, 2023. We elected to pay this liability in periodic installments through 2025 and paid $119.5 million during the second quarter of 2023. Under the terms of the law, we are required to pay the remaining installment payments as summarized in the Capital Resources and Liquidity discussion located in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2022. These payments have affected and will continue to adversely affect our cash flows and liquidity and may adversely affect future share repurchases.

Operating Leases

We lease real properties for use as administrative and sales offices, in addition to transportation, office, and other equipment. Refer to Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 13, Leases, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for details on our leasing arrangements, including future maturities of our operating lease liabilities.

We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

45

Table of Contents

Other Commercial Commitments

We had approximately $160 million in outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees as of June 30, 2023 primarily held in connection with regulatory requirements, lease arrangements, and certain agent agreements. We expect to renew many of our letters of credit and bank guarantees prior to expiration.

As of June 30, 2023, our total amount of unrecognized income tax benefits was $297.5 million, including associated interest and penalties. The timing of any related cash payments for substantially all of these liabilities is inherently uncertain because the ultimate amount and timing of the settlement of such liabilities are affected by factors which are variable and outside our control.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosed in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for which there were no material changes, included:

•
Income taxes
•
Derivative financial instruments
•
Goodwill
•
Other intangible assets

Risk Management

We are exposed to market risks arising from changes in market rates and prices, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates and credit risk related to our agents and customers. A risk management program is in place to manage these risks.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

We provide our services primarily through a network of agent locations in more than 200 countries and territories. We manage foreign exchange risk through the structure of the business and an active risk management process. We currently settle with the significant majority of our agents in United States dollars, Mexican pesos, or euros, requiring those agents to obtain local currency to pay recipients, and we generally do not rely on international currency markets to obtain and pay illiquid currencies. However, in certain circumstances, we settle in other currencies. The foreign currency exposure that does exist is limited by the fact that the majority of transactions are paid by the next day after they are initiated, and agent settlements occur within a few days in most instances. To mitigate this risk further, we enter into short duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities ranging from a few days to one month, to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations between transaction initiation and settlement. We also have exposure to certain foreign currency denominated cash and other asset and liability positions and may utilize foreign currency forward contracts, typically with maturities of less than one year at inception, to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on these positions. In certain consumer money transfer and bill payment transactions involving different send and receive currencies, we generate revenue based on the difference between the exchange rate set by us to the consumer or business and a rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market, helping to provide protection against currency fluctuations. We attempt to promptly buy and sell foreign currencies as necessary to cover our net payables and receivables which are denominated in foreign currencies.

We use longer-term foreign currency forward contracts to help mitigate risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates on revenues denominated primarily in the euro, and, to a lesser degree, the Canadian dollar, the British pound, and other currencies. We use contracts with maturities of up to 36 months at inception to mitigate some of the impact that changes in foreign currency exchange rates could have on forecasted revenues, with a targeted

46

Table of Contents

weighted-average maturity of approximately one year. We believe the use of longer-term foreign currency forward contracts provides predictability of future cash flows from our international operations.

As of June 30, 2023, a hypothetical uniform 10% strengthening or weakening in the value of the United States dollar relative to all other currencies in which our net income is generated would have resulted in a decrease/increase to pre-tax annual income of approximately $17 million, based on our forecast of unhedged exposure to foreign currency at that date. There are inherent limitations in this sensitivity analysis, primarily due to the following assumptions: (i) foreign exchange rate movements are linear and instantaneous, (ii) fixed exchange rates between certain currency pairs are retained, (iii) the unhedged exposure is static, and (iv) we would not hedge any additional exposure. As a result, the analysis is unable to reflect the potential effects of more complex market changes that could arise, which may positively or negatively affect income.

Interest Rates

We invest in several types of interest-bearing assets, with a total value as of June 30, 2023 of approximately $2.6 billion. Approximately $1.3 billion of these assets bear interest at floating rates. These assets primarily include cash in banks, money market investments, and state and municipal variable-rate securities and are included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Cash and cash equivalents and Settlement assets. To the extent these assets are held in connection with money transfers and other related payment services awaiting redemption, they are classified as Settlement assets. Earnings on these investments will increase and decrease with changes in the underlying short-term interest rates.

The remaining interest-bearing assets pay fixed interest rates and primarily consist of highly-rated state and municipal debt securities and asset-backed securities. These investments may include investments made from cash received from our money order services, money transfer business, and other related payment services awaiting redemption and are classified within Settlement assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As interest rates rise, the fair value of these fixed-rate interest-bearing securities will decrease; conversely, a decrease to interest rates would result in an increase to the fair values of the securities. We have classified these investments as available-for-sale within Settlement assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and accordingly, recorded these instruments at their fair value with the net unrealized gains and losses, excluding credit-related losses, net of the applicable deferred income tax effect, being added to or deducted from our Total stockholders’ equity in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Borrowings under our commercial paper program mature in such a short period that the financing is effectively floating rate. As of June 30, 2023, there were $674.6 million in outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program.

We review our overall exposure to floating and fixed rates by evaluating our net asset or liability position and the duration of each individual position. We manage this mix of fixed versus floating exposure in an attempt to minimize risk, reduce costs, and improve returns. Our exposure to interest rates can be modified by changing the mix of our interest-bearing assets as well as adjusting the mix of fixed versus floating rate debt. The latter is accomplished primarily through the use of interest rate swaps and the decision regarding terms of any new debt issuances (i.e., fixed versus floating). From time to time, we use interest rate swaps designated as hedges to vary the percentage of fixed to floating rate debt, subject to market conditions. As of June 30, 2023, our weighted-average effective rate on total borrowings was approximately 4.1%.

At June 30, 2023, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase/decrease in interest rates would result in a decrease/increase to pre-tax income for the next twelve months of approximately $7 million based on borrowings that are sensitive to interest rate fluctuations, net of the impact of hedges. The same 100 basis point increase/decrease in interest rates, if applied to our cash and investment balances on June 30, 2023 that bear interest at floating rates, would result in an offsetting increase/decrease to pre-tax income for the next twelve months of approximately $13 million. There are inherent limitations in the sensitivity analysis presented, primarily due to the assumptions that interest rate changes would be instantaneous and consistent across all geographies in which our interest-bearing assets are held and our liabilities are payable. As a result, the analysis is unable to reflect the potential effects of more complex market changes, including changes in credit risk regarding our investments, which may positively or negatively affect income. In addition, the mix of fixed versus floating rate debt and investments and the level of assets and liabilities will change over time, including the impact from commercial paper borrowings that may be outstanding in future periods.

Credit Risk

To manage our exposures to credit risk with respect to investment securities, money market fund investments, derivatives, and other credit risk exposures resulting from our relationships with banks and financial institutions, we regularly review investment concentrations, trading levels, credit spreads, and credit ratings, and we attempt to diversify our investments among global financial institutions.

We are also exposed to credit risk related to receivable balances from agents in the money transfer, walk-in bill payment, and money order settlement process. We perform a credit review before each agent signing and conduct periodic analyses of agents and certain other parties we transact with directly. In addition, we are exposed to losses directly from consumer transactions, particularly through our digital channels, where transactions are originated through means other than cash and are therefore subject to "chargebacks," insufficient funds or other collection impediments, such as fraud, which are anticipated to increase as digital channels become a greater proportion of our money transfer business.

Our losses have been less than 2% of our consolidated revenues in all periods presented.

Item 4. Controls an d Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our controls and procedures related to our reporting and disclosure obligations (as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) within the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2023, which is the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, as applicable, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Review Report of Independen t Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of The Western Union Company

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of The Western Union Company (the Company) as of June 30, 2023, the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “condensed consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2022, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for the year then ended, and the related notes and schedule (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 24, 2022, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
