International Money Express reported Q2 2026 revenue of $131.2 million, down 18.6% from $161.1 million a year earlier. Net income declined 61.8% to $4.2 million from $11.0 million, and diluted EPS fell to $0.14 from $0.37.
Volume explains the direction
| Metric | Q2 2025 | Q2 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Total revenue | $161.1 million | $131.2 million |
| Net income | $11.0 million | $4.2 million |
| Diluted EPS | $0.37 | $0.14 |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $28.8 million | $17.3 million |
The filing attributes the pressure mainly to contraction in retail remittances, particularly the Latin America and Caribbean corridor. For the first half, principal sent and transaction count each declined about 12%; principal sent was $10.4 billion across roughly 23.7 million remittances. Revenue from newer remittance-as-a-service relationships grew, but from a smaller base.
Transaction costs included professional and advisory work related to strategic alternatives and the pending Western Union merger. Adjusted measures exclude some of these costs and should be read alongside the GAAP results.
What to verify next
The key questions are whether retail transaction volume stabilizes, whether RaaS growth can offset the core decline, and how merger conditions and timing develop. An external consensus “miss” does not explain those operating drivers.
