International Money Express reported a sharp 62% drop in net income to $4.2 million as revenue fell 19% on lower transaction volumes in its core U.S.-to-Latin America corridor. The company attributed the weakness to a contraction in the retail remittance market, partially offset by growth in digital and RaaS channels. Against this backdrop, the pending $16.00-per-share cash acquisition by Western Union moved closer to completion, with only one remaining money transmitter license approval outstanding. The merger agreement includes a November 10, 2026 outside date, and the company continues to expect closing as soon as practicable. The balance sheet strengthened as debt was reduced by $81 million during the quarter, and the repurchase program remains suspended.
