Western Union (NYSE: WU) Q1 2026 EPS falls but 2026 growth outlook reaffirmed
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Western Union reported first quarter 2026 revenue of $982.7 million, essentially flat year over year, while adjusted revenue declined 1%. Profitability weakened, with GAAP EPS falling to $0.20 from $0.36 and adjusted EPS to $0.25 from $0.41 as operating margin compressed to 13% from 18%.
Consumer Services remained a growth engine, with revenue up 24% (33% adjusted), helped by its Travel Money business and the Eurochange acquisition, while Branded Digital revenue grew 9% with 21% transaction growth. In contrast, Consumer Money Transfer revenue declined 3% as Americas retail macro pressure weighed on results.
Despite weaker quarterly earnings, Western Union reaffirmed its 2026 outlook, guiding GAAP revenue growth of 5%–8% and GAAP EPS of $1.50–$1.60, with adjusted EPS of $1.75–$1.85. Management highlighted the pending Intermex acquisition, a planned stablecoin launch, and continued digital investment as key strategic initiatives.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Profitability deterioration: Q1 2026 diluted GAAP EPS fell to $0.20 from $0.36 and adjusted EPS to $0.25 from $0.41, as operating margin declined to 13% from 18%, indicating significantly weaker earnings power versus the prior-year quarter.
Insights
Margins and EPS declined sharply, but growth guidance and strategy remain intact.
Western Union delivered flat Q1 2026 revenue of $982.7M, but operating income fell to $123.0M from $177.4M as the operating margin dropped to 13% from 18%. Net income declined to $64.7M, driving diluted EPS down to $0.20 from $0.36.
Management cited lower fixed cost coverage in owned locations, loss of vendor incentives, higher commissions for new agents, foreign currency impacts, and a higher tax rate as key headwinds. Still, Consumer Services revenue grew 24% and Branded Digital revenue grew 9% with strong transaction growth, showing traction in newer lines.
The company reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance for GAAP revenue growth of 5%–8% and GAAP EPS of $1.50–$1.60, with adjusted EPS of $1.75–$1.85, assuming the Intermex deal closes in Q2 2026. How quickly the Intermex acquisition, stablecoin initiative, and digital investments translate into improved margins and earnings will be reflected in subsequent 2026 quarters.

Western Union Reports First Quarter 2026 Results
DENVER, April 24, 2026 – The Western Union Company (the “Company” or “Western Union”) (NYSE: WU) today reported first quarter 2026 financial results.
The Company’s first-quarter revenue of $983 million was flat relative to the prior year period on a GAAP basis, while adjusted revenue decreased 1%. The change in adjusted revenue was largely driven by growth in our Consumer Services and Branded Digital businesses, offset by macro pressure in the Americas retail business.
"First quarter results reflect the continued challenges in our Americas retail business as well as a few discrete items affecting the quarter," said Devin McGranahan, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Looking ahead, the pending acquisition of Intermex is expected to strengthen our retail capabilities in the Americas, our stablecoin launch will modernize our payment systems, and continued investment in our digital channel is preparing us for a more digitally-focused future."
First quarter GAAP EPS was $0.20, down from $0.36 in the prior year period. Adjusted EPS was $0.25 in the first quarter, down from $0.41 in the prior year period. GAAP and Adjusted EPS in the current year period were affected by a combination of largely anticipated items, including lower fixed cost coverage in our owned locations, timing of vendor incentives, and higher costs associated with new strategic partnerships, as well as a few discrete items, including a large foreign currency loss and a higher tax rate in the quarter.
Q1 Business Results
Q1 Financial Results
Business Development
On August 10, 2025, the company announced an agreement to acquire International Money Express, Inc. (“Intermex”). The company expects the transaction to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including remaining regulatory approvals.
2026 Outlook
The Company is reaffirming the following financial outlook for full year 2026, which assumes no material changes in macroeconomic conditions, including changes in immigration policies, foreign currencies, Argentina inflation, or any prolonged impact or escalations of the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.

2 Adjusted revenue growth excludes the impact of currency and Argentina inflation in quarters when hyperinflationary (over 50% within a quarter)
3 The GAAP effective tax rate is expected to be 20% to 22% and the adjusted effective tax rate is expected to be 13% to 15%
Non-GAAP Measures
Western Union presents non-GAAP financial measures because management believes that these metrics provide meaningful supplemental information in addition to the GAAP metrics and provide comparability and consistency to prior periods. Constant currency revenues translate revenues denominated in foreign currencies to the United States dollar, net of the effect of foreign currency hedges, at rates consistent with those in the prior year. The Company calculates Argentina inflation as the revenue growth not attributable to either transaction growth or the change in price (revenue divided by principal).
Reconciliations of non-GAAP to comparable GAAP measures are available in the accompanying schedules and in the “Investor Relations” section of the Company’s website at https://ir.westernunion.com.
Additional Statistics
Additional key statistics for the quarter and historical trends can be found in the supplemental tables included with this press release. All amounts included in the supplemental tables to this press release 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.

Important factors that could cause Western Union’s or Intermex’s or the combined company’s actual results to differ materially from the results referred to in the forward-looking statements Western Union makes in this release include: the possibility that the conditions to the consummation of the proposed acquisition of Intermex (the “Proposed Acquisition”) will not be satisfied on the terms or timeline expected, or at all; failure to obtain, or delays in obtaining, or adverse conditions related to obtaining regulatory approvals sought in connection with the Proposed Acquisition; dependence on key agents and the potential effects of network disruption; the possibility that Western Union may be unable to achieve expected benefits, synergies and operating efficiencies in connection with the Proposed Acquisition; and failure to retain key management of Western Union or Intermex.

* See the “Notes to Key Statistics” section of the press release for the applicable Note references and the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures, unless already reconciled herein.
[1] Beginning with the second quarter of 2025, the Company no longer adjusts for the estimated impact of Argentinian hyperinflation in its non-GAAP revenue results, as inflation in the country has moderated significantly - from over 200% in recent years to less than 50% since the second quarter of 2025.
THE WESTERN UNION COMPANY
NOTES TO KEY STATISTICS
(Unaudited)
(in millions, unless indicated otherwise)
Western Union’s management believes the non-GAAP financial measures presented within this press release and related tables provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s results to assist management, investors, analysts, and others in understanding the Company’s financial results and to better analyze operating, profitability, and other financial performance trends in the Company’s underlying business because they provide consistency and comparability to prior periods or eliminate currency volatility, increasing the comparability of the Company's underlying results and trends.
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 the Company’s operations that, when viewed with the Company’s GAAP results and the reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure, provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s business. Users of the financial statements are encouraged to review the Company’s 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, where not previously reconciled above.

[1] Beginning with the second quarter of 2025, the Company no longer adjusts for the estimated impact of Argentinian hyperinflation in its non-GAAP revenue results, as inflation in the country has moderated significantly - from over 200% in recent years to less than 50% since the second quarter of 2025.
