International Money Express, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMXI), (“Intermex” or
the “Company”) a leading, omni-channel money remittance company, is
pleased to announce the successful refinancing of its existing
secured debt through the establishment of a new $425 million
revolving credit facility. The new credit agreement provides for
U.S. Dollar, Euro, and Pound Sterling revolving loans and creates
an uncommitted incremental credit facility that may be used for
additional term or revolving loans of up to $100 million in the
aggregate.
The new revolving credit facility, maturing in
2029, bears an interest rate equal to SOFR plus 175 to 225 basis
points based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. The new
agreement represents a $133 million increase in credit availability
at improved spreads over SOFR. The covenants under the new
revolving facility also provide the Company with increased
operational flexibility, including expanded capacity for share
repurchases and merger and acquisition activity. Intermex has
utilized a portion of the new facility to repay its existing $72
million term loan and to pay the costs associated with establishing
the new revolving credit facility.
"Securing this facility underscores the
confidence the debt capital market has in Intermex and our
omnichannel strategy to serve the $156 billion Latin America market
and beyond." said Andras Bende, Chief Financial Officer. "This new,
improved credit facility provides more efficient and flexible
financing to support our needs, allowing us to optimize our balance
sheet during our next phase of growth.”
In addition, the Intermex Board of Directors has
approved an added authorization for the Company’s share repurchase
program. This increase brings the total current authorization to
$100 million, up from $39.4 million remaining at the end of the
second quarter. Under this authorization, the Board has approved
share repurchases of up to $20 million in each of the third and
fourth quarters of 2024.
"Based on our continued strong performance and
the confidence we have in the future of our omnichannel strategy,
the Board of Directors and management team believes that
repurchasing the Company’s common stock is an attractive investment
opportunity and prudent use of our capital at this time," commented
Bob Lisy, Chairman of the Board, CEO, and President. "Our strong
liquidity position will enable us to return value to shareholders
through stock repurchases while we continue to develop new products
and services, investing in the Company’s future.” Lisy added.
