Second Quarter 2017 Earnings Report
Non-GAAP Measures
Western Union's management believes the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide meaningful supplemental information
regarding our operating results to assist management, investors, analysts, and others in understanding our financial results and to
better analyze trends in our underlying business, because they provide consistency and comparability to prior periods.
These non-GAAP financial measures include revenue change constant currency adjusted; operating margin, excluding the state
regulator matter accrual, Joint Settlement Agreements (as defined in the notes below) and WU Way business transformation expenses;
EBITDA margin; adjusted EBITDA margin, excluding the state regulator matter accrual, Joint Settlement Agreements and WU Way
business transformation expenses; diluted EPS, excluding the state regulator matter accrual, Joint Settlement Agreements and WU Way
business transformation expenses; effective tax rate, excluding the state regulator matter accrual, Joint Settlement Agreements and WU
Way business transformation expenses; cash flows from operating activities, excluding payments for Joint Settlement Agreements and
WU Way business transformation expenses; Consumer-to-Consumer segment revenue change, constant currency adjusted; Consumer-
to-Consumer segment principal per transaction change, constant currency adjusted; Consumer-to-Consumer segment cross-border
principal change, constant currency adjusted; Consumer-to-Consumer segment region and westernunion.com revenue change, constant
currency adjusted; Business Solutions segment revenue change, constant currency adjusted; Business Solutions segment EBITDA
margin; Other revenue change, constant currency adjusted; operating margin outlook, excluding the state regulator matter accrual and
WU Way business transformation expenses; earnings per share outlook, excluding the state regulator matter accrual and WU Way
business transformation expenses; and effective tax rate outlook, excluding the state regulator matter accrual and WU Way business
transformation expenses. Although the expenses related to the WU Way are specific to that initiative, the types of expenses related to
the WU Way initiative are similar to expenses that the Company has previously incurred and can reasonably be expected to incur in the
future. Constant currency results assume foreign revenues are translated from foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar, net of the effect of
foreign currency hedges, at rates consistent with those in the prior year.
A non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial
measure. A non-GAAP financial measure reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our
GAAP results and the reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure, provide a more complete understanding of our
business. Users of the financial statements are encouraged to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety
and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures is included below.
All adjusted year-over-year changes were calculated using prior year amounts, which have been adjusted for changes in our reporting
segments and geographic regions, as described in our earnings press release. Amounts included below are in millions, unless indicated
otherwise.
