Mike Salop, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations at Western Union, provided an overview of the company's performance and outlook. Some key points include:
- Revenue decreased 1% year-over-year on a reported basis but increased 3% constant currency, driven by strength in westernunion.com and U.S. outbound transfers.
- Operating margin was 18.9%, impacted by a $15 million legal accrual but partially offset by cost reductions.
- The company updated its 2016 EPS outlook to a range of $1.60 to $1.70 per share.
- Strategic progress included mobile app upgrades, agent renewals, and expanding its account payout network.
