MONEYGRAM INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of MoneyGram International, Inc. (“MoneyGram” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Participation Agreement between the Investors and Walmart Stores, Inc. — As previously disclosed, affiliates of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (“THL”) and affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs” and collectively with THL, the “Investors”) have a Participation Agreement with Walmart Stores, Inc. (“Walmart”), under which the Investors are obligated to pay Walmart certain percentages of any accumulated cash payments received by the Investors in excess of the Investors’ original investment in the Company. While the Company is not a party to, and has no obligations to Walmart or additional obligations to the Investors under the Participation Agreement, the Company must recognize the Participation Agreement in its consolidated financial statements as the Company indirectly benefits from the agreement. A liability and the related expense associated with the Participation Agreement are recognized by the Company in the period in which it becomes probable that a liquidity event will occur that would require the Investors to make a payment to Walmart (a “liquidity event”). Upon payment by the Investors to Walmart, the liability is released through a credit to the Company’s additional paid-in capital.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, one of the Investors sold all of its common stock to an unrelated third-party, resulting in cumulative participation securities payments in excess of its original investment basis. As of June 30, 2012, the performance condition for only this Investor has been achieved. The Investor paid $0.3 million to Walmart for settlement in full of its obligation under the Participation Agreement. As a result, the Company has recognized expense and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Any future payments by the Investors to Walmart may result in expense that could be material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations, but would have no impact on the Company’s cash flows. As liquidity events are dependent on many external factors and uncertainties, the Company does not consider a liquidity event to be probable at this time for any other Investors, and has not recognized any further liability or expense related to the Participation Agreement.

Note 2 — Assets in Excess of Payment Service Obligations

For other asset–backed securities, market quotes are generally not available. If available, the Company will utilize a fair value measurement from a pricing service. The pricing service utilizes a pricing model based on market observable data and indices, such as quotes for comparable securities, yield curves, default indices, interest rates and historical prepayment speeds. If a fair value measurement is not available from the pricing service, the Company will utilize a broker quote if available. Due to a general lack of transparency in the process that the brokers use to develop prices, most valuations that are based on brokers’ quotes are classified as Level 3. If no broker quote is available, or if such quote cannot be corroborated by market data or internal valuations, the Company will perform internal valuations utilizing externally developed cash flow models. These pricing models are based on market observable spreads and, when available, observable market indices. The pricing models also use inputs such as the rate of future prepayments and expected default rates on the principal, which are derived by the Company based on the characteristics of the underlying structure and historical prepayment speeds experienced at the interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral. The pricing models for certain asset–backed securities also include significant non–observable inputs such as internally assessed credit ratings for non–rated securities, combined with externally provided credit spreads. Observability of market inputs to the valuation models used for pricing certain of the Company’s investments deteriorated with the disruption to the credit markets as

Accordingly, securities valued using a pricing model have consistently been classified as Level 3 financial instruments.

Assets and liabilities that are disclosed at fair value

Debt is carried at amortized cost; however, the Company estimates the fair value of debt for disclosure purposes. The fair value of debt is estimated using market quotations, where available, credit ratings, observable market indices and other market data (Level 2). As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of the senior secured facility is $479.1 million compared to the carrying value of $485.4 million. As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of the Company’s second lien notes is estimated at $337.2 million compared to a carrying value of $325.0 million. As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of the senior secured facility was $479.8 million compared to the carrying value of $489.6 million. As of December 31, 2011 the fair value of the Company’s second lien notes was estimated at $335.6 million compared to a carrying value of $325.0 million.

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately 69 percent and 76 percent, respectively, of the available-for-sale portfolio are invested in debentures of United States government agencies or securities collateralized by United States government agency debentures. These securities have the implicit backing of the United States government, and the Company expects to receive full par value upon maturity or pay-down, as well as all interest payments. The “Other asset-backed securities” continue to have market exposure, as factored into the fair value estimates, with the average price of an asset-backed security at $0.06 per dollar of par at June 30, 2012.

Gains and Losses and Other-Than-Temporary Impairments — At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, net unrealized gains of $22.9 million and $21.5 million, respectively, are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.” During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, no losses were reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income” to “Net securities gains” in connection with other-than-temporary impairments and realized gains and losses recognized during the period. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company recognized settlements of $32.8 million, equal to all of the outstanding principal from two securities classified in “Other asset-backed securities.” These securities had previously been written down to a nominal fair value, resulting in a realized gain of $32.8 million recorded in “Net securities gains” in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. “Net securities gains” were as follows:

Investment Ratings — In rating the securities in its investment portfolio, the Company uses ratings from Moody’s Investor Service (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poors (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”). If the rating agencies have split ratings, the Company uses the highest rating across the rating agencies for disclosure purposes. Securities issued or backed by United States government agencies are included in the AAA rating category. Investment grade is defined as a security having a Moody’s equivalent rating of Aaa, Aa, A or Baa or an S&P or Fitch equivalent rating of AAA, AA, A or BBB. The Company’s investments at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 consisted of the following ratings:

Had the Company used the lowest rating from the rating agencies in the information presented above, there would be no change to investments rated A or better at June 30, 2012, and less than a $0.1 million change at December 31, 2011.

Contractual Maturities — The amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations, sometimes without call or prepayment penalties. Maturities of mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities depend on the repayment characteristics and experience of the underlying obligations.

Fair Value Determination — The Company uses various sources of pricing for its fair value estimates of its available-for-sale portfolio. The percentage of the portfolio for which the various pricing sources were used is as follows at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011: 60 percent and 69 percent, respectively, used a third party pricing service; 18 percent and 13 percent, respectively, used broker pricing; and 22 percent and 18 percent, respectively, used internal pricing.

Assessment of Unrealized Losses — The Company had no unrealized losses in its available-for-sale portfolio at June 30, 2012 and at December 31, 2011.

Note 5 — Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses forward contracts to manage its foreign currency needs and exchange risk arising from its assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. While these contracts economically hedge foreign currency risk, they are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

The “Transaction and operations support” line in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income includes the following losses (gains) related to assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies:

2008 Senior Facility — In connection with the Company’s recapitalization transaction in May 2011 (the “2011 Recapitalization”), the 2008 senior facility was terminated. Prior to the termination, the Company was able to elect an interest rate for the 2008 senior facility at each reset period based on the JP Morgan prime bank rate or the Eurodollar rate. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company elected the JP Morgan prime bank rate as its interest basis. The Company recognized $0.2 million of discount accretion through the “Interest expense” line in the Consolidated Statements of Income during the six months ending June 30, 2011.

2011 Credit Agreement — The Company may elect an interest rate under the agreement governing the Company’s senior secured credit facility (the “2011 Credit Agreement”) at each reset period based on the Bank of America (“BOA”) prime bank rate or the Eurodollar rate. The interest rate election may be made individually for the term loan, incremental term loan and each draw under the revolving credit facility. The interest rate is either the BOA prime rate plus 225 basis points or the Eurodollar rate plus

300 basis points. Since inception of the 2011 Credit Agreement, the Company elected the Eurodollar rate as its primary interest basis, with a minimal amount of the term debt at the BOA alternate base rate. Under the terms of the 2011 Credit Agreement, the interest rate determined using the Eurodollar rate has a minimum rate of 1.25 percent.

Fees on the daily unused availability under the revolving credit facility are 62.5 basis points. Substantially all of the Company’s non-financial assets are pledged as collateral for the loans under the 2011 Credit Agreement, with the collateral guaranteed by the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries. The non-financial assets of the material domestic subsidiaries are pledged as collateral for these guarantees. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $137.3 million of availability under the revolving credit facility, net of $12.7 million of outstanding letters of credit that reduce the amount available. At June 30, 2012 there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

Amortization of the debt discount for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 includes a pro-rata write-off of $0.1 million as a result of the term debt prepayment.

Second Lien Notes —Prior to the fifth anniversary, the Company may redeem some or all of the second lien notes at a price equal to 100 percent of the principal, plus any accrued and unpaid interest plus a premium equal to the greater of one percent or an amount calculated by discounting the sum of (a) the redemption payment that would be due upon the fifth anniversary plus (b) all required interest payments due through such fifth anniversary using the treasury rate plus 50 basis points. Starting with the fifth anniversary, the Company may redeem some or all of the second lien notes at prices expressed as a percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the second lien notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, starting at approximately 107 percent on the fifth anniversary, decreasing to 100 percent on or after the eighth anniversary. Upon a change of control, the Company is required to make an offer to repurchase the second lien notes at a price equal to 101 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company is also required to make an offer to repurchase the second lien notes with proceeds of certain asset sales that have not been reinvested in accordance with the terms of the second lien notes or have not been used to repay certain debt.

Inter-creditor Agreement — In connection with the above financing arrangements, both the lenders under the 2011 Credit Agreement and the trustee on behalf of the holders of the second lien notes entered into an inter-creditor agreement under which the lenders and trustee have agreed to waive certain rights and limit the exercise of certain remedies available to them for a limited period of time, both before and following a default under the financing arrangements.

Debt Covenants and Other Restrictions — Borrowings under the Company’s debt agreements are subject to various covenants that limit the Company’s ability to: incur additional indebtedness; create or incur additional liens; effect mergers and consolidations; make certain acquisitions; sell assets or subsidiary stock; pay dividends and other restricted payments; invest in certain assets; and effect loans, advances and certain other transactions with affiliates. In addition, the 2011 Credit Agreement has a covenant that places limitations on the use of proceeds from borrowings under the facility.

Common Stock — The holders of MoneyGram common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by its stockholders. The holders of common stock have no preemptive, conversion or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. The determination to pay dividends on common stock will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on applicable laws and the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash requirements, prospects and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. No dividends were paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The Company’s ability to declare or pay dividends or distributions to the holders of the Company’s common stock is restricted under the Company’s 2011 Credit Agreement and the indenture governing the Company’s second lien notes.

Note 11 — Stock-Based Compensation

The MoneyGram International, Inc. 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2005 Plan”) provides for the granting of equity-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards (collectively, “share-based awards”) to officers, employees and directors. The Company is authorized to issue a total of 5,875,000 of share-based awards. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has remaining authorization to issue future grants of up to 1,672,833 shares.

The calculated fair value of share-based awards is recognized as compensation cost using the straight-line method over the vesting or service period in the Company’s financial statements. Stock-based compensation is recognized only for those options, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant and evaluated and adjusted periodically to reflect the Company’s historical experience and future expectations. Any change in the forfeiture assumption will be accounted for as a change in estimate, with the cumulative effect of the change on periods previously reported being reflected in the financial statements of the period in which the change is made.

Following is a summary of stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30:

Stock Options — Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. All outstanding stock options contain certain forfeiture and non-compete provisions.

Pursuant to the terms of grants made in 2012, options awarded become exercisable through the passage of time annually over a four-year period in an equal number of shares each year, and have a term of 10 years.

For purposes of determining the fair value of stock options awarded in 2012, the Company uses the Black-Scholes single option pricing model. The following table provides weighted-average grant-date fair value and assumptions utilized to estimate the grant-date fair value of the 2012 options:

 

Expected dividend yield (1)

     0.0%   

Expected volatility (2)

     71.2% -71.8%   

Risk-free interest rate (3)

     1.2% -1.5%   

Expected life (4)

     6.3 years   

Weighted-average grant-date fair value per option

   $ 11.04   

 

(1) 

Expected dividend yield represents the level of dividends expected to be paid on the Company’s common stock over the expected term of the option. The Company does not anticipate declaring any dividends at this time.

(2) 

Expected volatility is the amount by which the Company’s stock price has fluctuated or will fluctuate during the expected term of the option. The Company’s expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock since the spin-off from Viad Corporation on June 30, 2004. The Company also considers any known or anticipated factors that will likely impact future volatility.

(3) 

The risk-free interest rate for the Black-Scholes model is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the option.

(4) 

Expected life represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. The expected life was determined using the simplified method as the pattern of changes in the value of the Company’s common stock and exercise activity since late 2007 has been inconsistent and substantially different from historical patterns. Additionally, there have been minimal stock option exercises which would be representative of the Company’s normal exercise activity since 2007. Accordingly, the Company does not believe that historical terms are relevant to the assessment of the expected term of the grant. Based on these factors, the Company does not believe that it has the ability to make a more refined estimate than the use of the simplified method.

Restricted Stock Units — In the first half of 2012, the Company issued grants of performance-based restricted stock units to certain employees, which will vest and become payable in shares of common stock to the extent the Company attains the performance goals applicable to the performance period. The performance goal is based on the degree to which the Company’s average annual adjusted EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and less certain non-recurring or other unexpected expenses, meets, exceeds or falls short of the target performance goal of achieving an average annual adjusted EBITDA increase of 10 percent over a three year period. Under the terms of the grant, 50 percent of the target restricted stock units may vest on the second anniversary and 50 percent may vest on the third anniversary if the performance goal is achieved as of that date. The number of restricted stock units that vest is determined on a pro rata basis by the extent to which the performance goal is met within a threshold minimum and maximum. In the event the target performance goal is not met, but the Company achieves a minimum performance goal of an average annual adjusted EBITDA growth of five percent, the participant will be entitled to 50 percent of the target number of restricted stock units. In the event the Company achieves its maximum performance goal of an average annual adjusted EBITDA growth of 20 percent, the participant will be entitled to 200 percent of the target number of restricted stock units.

The fair value of restricted stock units is calculated based on the stock price at the time of grant. For performance-based restricted stock units, expense is recognized if achievement of the performance goal is deemed probable, with the amount of expense recognized based on the Company’s best estimate of the ultimate achievement level. For the 2012 grants of performance-based restricted stock units, the grant date fair value at the minimum, target and maximum thresholds is $0.9 million, $1.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, the Company believes it is probable it will achieve the performance goal at the target level on the third anniversary.

In April 2012, the Company granted an aggregate of 48,474 restricted stock units to members of the Board of Directors, excluding the Chairman of Board, as compensation for services to be provided. The restricted stock units vest on the first anniversary of their issuance and may only be settled in the Company’s common stock.

For grants to employees, expense is recognized in the “Compensation and benefits” line and expense for grants to Directors is recorded in the “Transaction and operations support” line in the Consolidated Statements of Income using the straight-line method over the vesting period.

The fair value of restricted stock units vested is $0.6 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and $0.6 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s outstanding restricted stock units had unrecognized compensation expense of $3.7 million and a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.2 years. Unrecognized restricted stock unit expense and the remaining weighted-average vesting period are presented under the Company’s current estimate of achievement of the target performance goal on the third anniversary. Unrecognized restricted stock unit expense as of June 30, 2012 under the minimum and maximum thresholds is $2.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively.

Note 12 — Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company had $10.2 million and $18.0 million, respectively, of income tax expense on pre-tax (loss) income of $(14.9) million and $3.2 million, respectively, resulting from the non-deductibility of certain legal accruals and related expenses. The Company paid $0.7 million and $0.8 million of federal and state income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company had $2.9 million of income tax expense on pre-tax income of $29.3 million, primarily reflecting $2.9 million of tax on an investment security settlement received in the second quarter of 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company had nominal income tax benefit on pre-tax income of $40.4 million, reflecting a discrete benefit of $3.5 million for the reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance on domestic deferred tax assets, which was partially offset by the $2.9 million of tax on an investment security settlement. The Company paid $0.4 million and $0.5 million of federal and state income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to record additional tax expense or benefits in the future.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, interest and penalties for unrecognized tax benefits were $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, compared to nominal amounts for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. The Company records interest and penalties for unrecognized tax benefits in “Income tax expense (benefit)” in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had a liability of $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for interest and penalties within “Accounts payable and other liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the second quarter of 2010, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) completed its examination of the Company’s consolidated income tax returns for 2005 to 2007 and issued a Notice of Deficiency related to these items in April 2012 (the “2005-2007 Notice of Deficiency”). The Company is also currently under examination for its 2008 and 2009 tax returns, which had similar deductions, and received a Revenue Agent Report (“RAR”) for 2008 and 2009 in April 2012. The Company anticipates receiving a Notice of Deficiency for 2008 and 2009 within the next 12 months. The Company filed a petition with the United States Tax Court on May 14, 2012 contesting the adjustments in the 2005-2007 Notice of Deficiency and plans to petition the United States Tax Court for 2008 and 2009 as well. Approximately $955.0 million of cumulative deductions were taken for net securities losses in its 2007, 2008 and 2009 tax returns. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has recognized a cumulative benefit of approximately $136.1 million relating to these deductions. The Company continues to believe that the amounts recorded in its consolidated financial statements reflect its best estimate of the ultimate outcome of this matter.

Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases — The Company has various non-cancelable operating leases for buildings and equipment that terminate through 2021. Certain of these leases contain rent holidays and rent escalation clauses based on pre-determined annual rate increases. The Company recognizes rent expense under the straight-line method over the term of the lease. Any difference between the straight-line rent amounts and amounts payable under the leases are recorded as deferred rent in “Accounts payable and other liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash or lease incentives received under certain leases are recorded as deferred rent when the incentive is received and amortized as a reduction to rent over the term of the lease using the straight-line method. Incentives received relating to tenant improvements are recognized as a reduction of rent expense under the straight-line method over the term of the lease. Tenant improvements are capitalized as leasehold improvements and depreciated over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or 10 years. At June 30, 2012, the deferred rent liability relating to these incentives was $2.2 million.

Rent expense under operating leases was $4.1 million and $7.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and $3.8 million and $8.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Minimum future rental payments for all non-cancelable operating leases with an initial term of more than one year are (amounts in thousands):

Credit Facilities — At June 30, 2012, the Company has overdraft facilities through its senior facility consisting of $12.7 million of letters of credit to assist in the management of investments and the clearing of payment service obligations. All of these letters of credit are outstanding as of June 30, 2012. These overdraft facilities reduce amounts available under the senior facility. Fees on the letters of credit are paid in accordance with the terms of the senior facility described in Note 8 — Debt.

Minimum Commission Guarantees — In limited circumstances as an incentive to new or renewing agents, the Company may grant minimum commission guarantees for a specified period of time at a contractually specified amount. Under the guarantees, the Company will pay to the agent the difference between the contractually specified minimum commission and the actual commissions earned by the agent. Expense related to the guarantee is recognized in the “Fee commissions expense” line in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2012, the liability for minimum commission guarantees was $3.5 million and the maximum amount that could be paid under the minimum commission guarantees was $12.5 million over a weighted average remaining term of 2.9 years. The maximum payment is calculated as the contractually guaranteed minimum commission times the remaining term of the contract and, therefore, assumes that the agent generates no money transfer transactions during the remainder of its contract. However, under the terms of certain agent contracts, the Company may terminate the contract if the projected or actual volume of transactions falls beneath a contractually specified amount. With respect to minimum commission guarantees expiring in the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company paid $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, or 19 percent and 21 percent, respectively, of the estimated maximum payment for the year.

Other Commitments — The Company has agreements with certain co-investors to provide funds related to investments in limited partnership interests. As of June 30, 2012, the total amount of unfunded commitments related to these agreements was $0.3 million.

Legal Proceedings — The matters set forth below are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with certainty. The Company accrues for these matters as any resulting losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated. Further, the Company maintains insurance coverage for many claims and litigations alleged. In relation to various legal matters, including those described below, the Company had $43.6 million and $3.0 million of liability recorded in the “Accounts payable and other liabilities” line in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Legal accruals and settlement charges of $36.5 million and $38.1 million, net of insurance recoveries of $2.8 million, were recorded in the “Transaction and operations support” line in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, and charges of $0.4 million and $1.4 million were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

Litigation Commenced Against the Company:

Stockholder Litigation — On April 15, 2011 a complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by Willie R. Pittman purporting to be a class action complaint on behalf of all stockholders and a stockholder derivative complaint against the Company, THL, Goldman Sachs and each of the Company’s directors. Ms. Pittman alleged in her complaint that she is a stockholder of the Company and asserted, among other things, (i) breach of fiduciary duty and disclosure claims against the Company’s directors, THL and Goldman Sachs, (ii) breach of the Company’s certificate of incorporation claims against the Company, THL and Goldman Sachs, and (iii) claims for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duties against Goldman Sachs. Ms. Pittman purported to sue on her own behalf and on behalf of the Company and its stockholders. Pittman sought to, among other things, enjoin or rescind the 2011 Recapitalization. On April 29, 2011 the plaintiff filed an amended complaint to add two additional plaintiffs, Susan Seales and Stephen Selzer. On May 16, 2011 a hearing to enjoin or rescind the 2011 Recapitalization was held in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”), and at the hearing, the plaintiffs’ request for a preliminary injunction was denied. The 2011 Recapitalization was completed on May 18, 2011. Since that time, Ms. Pittman has withdrawn as a putative class representative; Ms. Seales and Mr. Selzer remain as plaintiffs. The plaintiffs sought to recover damages of some or all of the cash and stock payments made to THL and Goldman Sachs by the Company in connection with the 2011 Recapitalization.

On May 12, 2011 a complaint was filed in the County Court at Law No. 3 in Dallas County, Texas by Hilary Kramer purporting to be a class action complaint on behalf of all stockholders and a stockholder derivative complaint against the Company, THL, Goldman Sachs and each of the Company’s directors. Ms. Kramer alleged in her complaint that she is a stockholder of the Company and asserted, among other things, (i) breach of fiduciary duty claims against the Company’s directors, THL and Goldman Sachs and (ii) claims for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duties against Goldman Sachs. Ms. Kramer purported to sue on her own behalf and on behalf of the Company and its stockholders. Ms. Kramer sought to, among other things, enjoin the 2011 Recapitalization. The defendants have moved for the Texas court to stay this litigation in favor of the Pittman litigation in Delaware, which has an overlapping class definition.

On July 20, 2012, the parties in the Pittman litigation applied for preliminary approval of a proposed settlement, the terms of which are set forth in a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise and Settlement, dated as of July 19, 2012 (the “Stipulation”). The Stipulation, which is still subject to preliminary and final approval by the Delaware Court, provides for a settlement payment of $10.0 million, to be distributed pro rata to certain stockholders, net of any attorneys’ fees awarded by the Delaware Court. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized $6.5 million of expense for the proposed settlement. The Company, THL, Goldman Sachs, the Company’s directors and other parties agreed to share financial responsibility for funding the settlement payment as follows: (i) the Company will contribute $3.5 million; (ii) the Company’s insurer will contribute $2.8 million under the Company’s director and officer liability policy; (iii) THL and the individuals nominated by THL as directors of the Company, referred to Collectively herein as the THL Directors, will waive all future rights to receive cash or equity compensation from the Company for services by the THL Directors or any other directors nominated by THL, and the Company will contribute $2.0 million toward the settlement payment in recognition of such waiver; (iv) Goldman Sachs has agreed to waive reimbursements of $1.0 million of legal fees and expenses associated with the Company’s 2011 Recapitalization, and the Company will contribute this amount toward the settlement payment; and (v) other parties with rights related to the 2011 Recapitalization have agreed to waive reimbursement of $0.8 million of legal fees and expenses, and the Company will contribute this amount toward the settlement payment.

The Stipulation also includes a release by the putative class of stockholders of all claims with respect to the allegations in the action or relating to the 2011 Recapitalization. The Delaware Court has set a hearing on October 10, 2012 to consider final approval of the settlement and entry of judgment. If the settlement is approved, the action will be dismissed with prejudice on the merits, and the Company will seek to dismiss the Texas action as well.

Other Matters — The Company is involved in various claims and litigation that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Management does not believe that after final disposition any of these matters is likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Government Investigations:

MDPA/DOJ Matter — MoneyGram has been served with subpoenas to produce documents and testify before a grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. The subpoenas sought information related to, inter alia, MoneyGram’s U.S. and Canadian agents, as well as certain transactions involving such agents, fraud complaint data, and MoneyGram’s consumer anti-fraud program during the period from 2004 to 2009. MoneyGram has provided information requested pursuant to the subpoenas and continues to provide additional information relating to the investigation. In addition, the Company was provided with subpoenas for the testimony of certain current and former employees in connection with the investigation. Interviews of one former executive officer and one former chief executive officer of the Company have taken place. The U.S. Department of the Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, also requested information, which information was subsequently provided by MoneyGram, concerning MoneyGram’s reporting of fraudulent transactions during this period. In November 2010, MoneyGram met with representatives from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, or the MDPA USAO, and representatives of FinCEN to discuss the investigation. In July 2011, MoneyGram had further discussions with the MDPA USAO and representatives of the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section of the U.S. Department of Justice, or the US DOJ. MoneyGram has been informed that it is being investigated by the federal grand jury in connection with these matters for the period 2004 to early 2009 as well as MoneyGram’s anti-money laundering program during that period. In January 2012, meetings were held between representatives of the Company, the MDPA USAO and the Criminal Division of the US DOJ to discuss the investigation. During the course of these discussions, the Company was advised that consideration was being given to a range of possible outcomes, including the seeking of criminal penalties against the Company.

On March 19, 2012, the Company entered into a tolling agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania and the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section of the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice that tolled the statute of limitations applicable to any criminal proceedings that the government might later initiate to include the period from March 23, 2012 through and including December 31, 2012.

MoneyGram continues to engage in discussions and to cooperate with the government representatives regarding the investigation. However, the Company is unable to determine at this time what the final resolution of the investigation will be, including the nature of any proceeding and the manner in which it will be resolved. In the second quarter, the Company recorded an accrual of $30.0 million in connection with a possible resolution of this matter, based on the facts and circumstances known at this time. However, the Company is unable at this time to reasonably estimate the ultimate loss and no assurance can be given that costs and payments made in connection with this matter will not exceed the amount currently recorded or that the government will not also seek to impose non-monetary remedies or penalties.

State Civil Investigative Demands — MoneyGram has also received Civil Investigative Demands from a working group of nine state attorneys general who have initiated an investigation into whether the Company has taken adequate steps to prevent consumer fraud during the period from 2007 to 2011. The Civil Investigative Demands seek information and documents relating to the Company’s procedures to prevent fraudulent transfers and consumer complaint information. MoneyGram continues to cooperate fully with the states in this matter. MoneyGram has submitted the information and documents requested by the states. No claims have been made against MoneyGram at this time.

Other Matters — The Company is involved in various government inquiries and other matters that arise from time to time. Management does not believe that after final disposition any of these matters is likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

CDO Litigation — In March 2012, the Company initiated an arbitration proceeding before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) against Goldman Sachs & Co. (“Goldman”). The arbitration relates to MoneyGram’s purchase of Residential Mortgage Backed Securities and Collateral Debt Obligations that Goldman sold to MoneyGram during the 2005

through 2007 timeframe. The Company alleges, among other things, that Goldman made material misrepresentations and omissions in connection with the sale of these products, ultimately causing significant losses to the Company for which the Company is currently seeking damages. Goldman owns, together with certain of its affiliates, approximately 19 percent of the shares of the Company’s common stock on a diluted basis, assuming conversion of the Company’s Series D Participating Convertible Preferred Stock (“D Stock”) currently owned by Goldman and its affiliates.

Tax Litigation — On May 14, 2012, the Company filed a petition in the United States Tax Court challenging the 2005-2007 Notice of Deficiency, pursuant to which the IRS determined that the Company owes additional corporate income taxes because certain deductions relating to securities losses were capital in nature, rather than ordinary losses. The Company asserts that it properly deducted its securities losses and that, consequently, no additional corporate income taxes are owed. If the Company’s petition is denied in its entirety, the Company would be required to make cash payments of $110.1 million based on benefits taken through June 30, 2012. The IRS filed a response to the Company’s petition on July 18, 2012 reasserting its original position.

Note 14 — Earnings per Common Share

For discrete periods from January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2011, the Company utilized the two-class method for computing basic earnings per common share, which reflects the amount of undistributed earnings allocated to the common stockholders using the participation percentage of each class of stock. Undistributed earnings was determined as the Company’s net income less dividends declared, accumulated, deemed or paid on preferred stock. The undistributed earnings allocated to the common stockholders are divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period to compute basic earnings per common share.

For all periods in which it is outstanding, the D Stock is included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding utilized to calculate basic earnings per common share because the D Stock is deemed a common stock equivalent. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could result if securities or incremental shares arising out of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series B Participating Convertible Preferred Stock and the Company’s Series B-1 Participating Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Series B Stock”) were exercised or converted into common stock. Diluted earnings per common share assumes the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method and the conversion of the Series B Stock using the if-converted method.

Effective for discrete periods beginning after June 30, 2011, the Company no longer applies the two-class method of calculating basic earnings per share because the Series B Stock is no longer outstanding and the D Stock is deemed a common stock equivalent.

Potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share when the effect would be anti-dilutive. All potential common shares are anti-dilutive in periods of net loss available to common stockholders. Stock options are anti-dilutive when the exercise price of these instruments is greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period. The Series B Stock is anti-dilutive when the incremental earnings per share of Series B Stock on an if-converted basis is greater than the basic earnings per common share. Following are the weighted-average potential common shares excluded from diluted earnings per common share as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

Note 15 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS, (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements, (“ASC 820”), providing a consistent definition and measurement of fair value, as well as similar disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement and expands the ASC 820 disclosure requirements, particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2011-04 on January 1, 2012, which resulted in additional fair value measurement disclosures.

Table of Contents

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, (“ASU 2011-05”) to amend financial statement presentation guidance for other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Under ASU 2011-05, the statement of income and OCI can be presented either as a continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements. As such, the option to present the components of OCI as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity is eliminated. The amendments in ASU 2011-05 do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. ASU 2011-05 was adopted on January 1, 2012 with no impact to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 16 — Segment Information

The Company’s reporting segments are primarily organized based on the nature of products and services offered and the type of consumer served. The Company primarily manages its business through two reporting segments: Global Funds Transfer and Financial Paper Products. The Global Funds Transfer segment provides global money transfers and bill payment services to consumers through a network of agents and, in select markets, company-operated locations. The Financial Paper Products segment provides money orders to consumers through retail and financial institution locations in the United States and Puerto Rico, and provides official check services to financial institutions in the United States. One of the Company’s agents of both the Global Funds Transfer segment and the Financial Paper Products segment accounted for 28.1 percent and 28.3 percent of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 28.6 percent and 29.2 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Note 17 — Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

In the event the Company offers debt securities pursuant to its registration statement on Form S-3, such debt securities may be guaranteed by certain of its subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Company is providing condensed consolidating financial information in accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-10, Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered. If the Company issues debt securities, the following 100 percent directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries could fully and unconditionally guarantee the debt securities on a joint and several basis: MoneyGram Payment Systems Worldwide, Inc.; MoneyGram Payment Systems, Inc.; and MoneyGram of New York LLC (collectively, the “Guarantors”).

The following information represents condensed, consolidating Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, along with condensed, consolidating Statements of (Loss) Income, Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income and Statements of Cash Flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The condensed, consolidating financial information presents financial information in separate columns for MoneyGram International, Inc. on a parent-only basis carrying its investment in subsidiaries under the equity method; Guarantors on a combined basis, carrying investments in subsidiaries that are not expected to guarantee the debt (collectively, the “Non-Guarantors”) under the equity method; Non-Guarantors on a combined basis; and eliminating entries. The eliminating entries primarily reflect intercompany transactions, such as accounts receivable and payable, fee revenue and commissions expense and the elimination of equity investments and income in subsidiaries.

Following is a summary of our operating results in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to the second quarter of 2011:

 

   

Total fee and other revenue increased $22.6 million, or seven percent, to $326.7 million in the second quarter of 2012 due to an increase in money transfer fee and other revenue, partially offset by lower revenue from bill payment products and the Financial Paper Products segment. Volume growth of 13 percent drove the increase in money transfer fee and other revenue, but was partially offset by a lower euro exchange rate. Excluding a business divested in 2011, Bill Payment revenue grew $0.1 million. See further discussion in the “Fee and Other Revenue and Commissions Expense” section.

 

   

Investment revenue decreased $2.4 million, or 42 percent, to $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2012 due to lower yields on our investments and a decline in average investable balances.

 

   

Total commissions expense increased $11.1 million, or eight percent, in the second quarter of 2012 due to money transfer volume growth, partially offset by the lower euro exchange rate and lower commissions expense related to bill payment products and the Financial Paper Products segment.

 

   

Total operating expenses increased $51.3 million, or 19 percent, in the second quarter of 2012, driven primarily by higher transaction and operations support expense from legal accruals, an increase in commissions expense and higher compensation and benefits expense, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, operating expenses include $4.4 million of costs associated with restructuring and reorganization activities.

Table of Contents
   

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company recognized $32.8 million of settlements equal to all outstanding principal from two securities. These securities had previously been written down to a nominal fair value, resulting in net securities gains of $32.8 million in the second quarter of 2011.

 

   

Interest expense decreased $5.2 million, or 23 percent, to $17.6 million in the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to lower interest rates from our refinancing activities in 2011.

 

   

In the second quarter of 2012, the Company recognized $0.3 million of other expense for the Investors’ payment to Walmart for the Participation Agreement.

 

   

During the second quarter of 2011, other non-operating expense includes a debt extinguishment loss of $5.2 million recognized upon termination of our former senior credit facility, $4.1 million of asset impairments associated with disposition activity and $5.5 million of costs incurred to effect the Company’s recapitalization transaction in May 2011, or the 2011 Recapitalization. Of the $4.1 million of asset impairments, $2.3 million relates to restructuring and reorganization activities.

 

   

In the second quarter of 2012, the Company had income tax expense of $10.2 million on pre-tax loss of $14.9 million, primarily reflecting the non-deductibility of certain legal reserves and related expenses.

 

   

The decrease in the euro exchange rate decreased total revenue by $7.4 million and total expenses by $5.9 million, for a net decrease to our income before income taxes of $1.5 million.

Fee and Other Revenue — For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, fee and other revenue growth of $22.6 million and $47.5 million, respectively, was primarily driven by money transfer transaction volume growth, partially offset by a lower euro exchange rate and lower foreign exchange revenue, changes in corridor mix and lower average face value per transaction. Bill payment products primarily saw revenue declines from lower average fees per transaction while money order and official check fee and other revenue decreased due to volume declines. See the “Segment Performance” section for more detailed discussion.

Fee and Other Commissions — For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, fee and other commissions expense growth of $11.1 million and $24.0 million, respectively, was primarily due to money transfer volume growth, partially offset by a lower euro exchange rate, lower average bill payment fees per transaction and lower Financial Paper Product volumes. Commissions expense grew at a faster rate than revenue due to payment at a higher tier from volume growth achievement for certain key agents and corridor mix. Commissions expense as a percent of fee and other revenue increased in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily from the continued shift in overall product mix towards the Global Funds Transfer segment, particularly the money transfer product. Agents in the Global Funds Transfer segment are compensated through commissions we pay to them, whereas our Financial Paper Products agents and financial institution customers primarily earn their revenue through per item fees they charge directly to the consumer. See the “Segment Performance” section for more detailed discussion.

The average investment yield is calculated by dividing investment revenue by the average cash equivalents and investment balances for the period. The average investment commissions rate is calculated by dividing investment commissions expense by the average payment service obligations for the period. The net investment margin is calculated by dividing net investment revenue by the average cash equivalents and investment balances for the period, then dividing that amount by the number of days in the period and multiplying by the number of days in the year.

Investment revenue Investment revenue consists of interest and dividends generated through the investment of cash balances received primarily from the sale of official checks, money orders and other payment instruments. Investment revenue decreased $2.4 million, or 42 percent, in the three months ended June 30, 2012 due to lower yields earned on our investment portfolio and lower average investment balances from the run-off of certain official check financial institution customers terminated in prior periods.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, investment revenue decreased $3.3 million, or 33 percent, due to lower yields earned on our investment portfolio and lower average investment balances from the run-off of certain official check financial institution customers terminated in prior periods.

Investment commissions expense Investment commissions expense consists of amounts paid to financial institution customers based on short-term interest rate indices times the average outstanding cash balances of official checks sold by the financial institution. There was a nominal change in investment commissions expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to June 30, 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, investment commissions expense decreased $0.1 million, or 28 percent, primarily from lower interest rates.

Net investment revenue and margin As a result of the factors discussed above, net investment revenue decreased $2.4 million, or 42 percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, while the net investment margin decreased 0.28 percentage points. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net investment revenue decreased $3.2 million, or 33 percent, while the net investment margin decreased 0.17 percentage points.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, other employee benefits increased due to executive severance and higher insurance costs, partially offset by lower expenses from our benefit plans. Salaries and related payroll taxes increased from ordinary salary increases, partially offset by lower temporary help and headcount from our restructuring and outsourcing initiatives. Incentive compensation increased primarily from higher sales incentives and ordinary salary increases that increased the compensation base as compared to the prior year. Employee stock–based compensation decreased from grants fully vesting in prior periods and forfeitures, partially offset by new grants with longer vesting periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, restructuring and reorganization costs increased due to the centralization and relocation of certain functions, including on-going initiatives outside of the United States.

Transaction and operations support — Transaction and operations support expense primarily includes: marketing; professional fees and other outside services; telecommunications; agent support costs, including forms related to our products; non-compensation employee costs, including training, travel and relocation; bank charges; and the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on our monetary transactions, assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, transaction and operations support expense increased from the following items:

 

   

Legal accruals increased primarily due to regulatory matters and securities litigation, partially offset by lower capital transaction activities.

 

   

Consultant fees and outsourcing costs increased primarily due to the outsourcing of certain transactional support and information technology activities, as well as tax advisement and our continued investment in the enhancement of our operational processes and systems that support our infrastructure.

 

   

Marketing costs increased from our new loyalty program introduced in January 2012, partially offset by timing of marketing activities.

 

   

Foreign exchange gains increased due to the impact of high volatility in foreign currency exchange rates on our growing assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses not denominated in the U.S. dollar.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, restructuring and reorganization costs decreased primarily due to less resourcing costs for the centralization and relocation of certain functions.

Table of Contents

Occupancy, equipment and supplies — Occupancy, equipment and supplies includes facilities rent and maintenance costs, software and equipment maintenance costs, freight and delivery costs and supplies. Occupancy, equipment and supplies increased $0.5 million, or four percent, and $1.0 million, or four percent, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, primarily due to $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of facility-related costs associated with restructuring and reorganization activities. The decrease in the euro exchange rate decreased occupancy, equipment and supplies by $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Depreciation and amortization — Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation on point of sale equipment, agent signage, computer hardware and software, office furniture and equipment, along with amortization of leasehold improvements, capitalized software development costs and intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, decreased $0.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively, primarily from lower depreciation expense on point of sale equipment, office furniture and equipment and capitalized software, partially offset by an increase in signage depreciation. The decrease in the euro exchange rate decreased depreciation and amortization by $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

OTHER EXPENSE

Net securities gains —The three and six months ended June 30, 2011 reflect a realized gain of $32.8 million related to the receipt of a $19.2 million and a $13.6 million settlement equal to all outstanding principal from two securities classified in “other asset-backed securities.” These securities had previously been written down to a nominal fair value.

Other — Other expense was $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 due to the Investors’ payment to Walmart for the Participation Agreement. See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Other expense was $14.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. The Company recognized $5.5 million of costs associated with our recapitalization initiatives. In connection with the termination of the 2008 senior facility on May 18, 2011, we recognized a debt extinguishment loss of $5.2 million. The Company recognized $4.1 million of asset impairments in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 related to disposition activity, of which $2.3 million was associated with restructuring and reorganization activities.

Income taxes — For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company had $10.2 million and $18.0 million, respectively, of income tax expense on pre-tax (loss) income of $(14.9) million and $3.2 million, respectively, resulting from the non-deductibility of certain legal accruals and related expenses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company had $2.9 million of income tax expense on pre-tax income of $29.3 million, primarily reflecting $2.9 million of tax on an investment security settlement received in the second quarter of 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company had nominal income tax benefit on pre-tax income of $40.4 million, reflecting a discrete benefit of $3.5 million for the reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance on domestic deferred tax assets, which was partially offset by the $2.9 million of tax on an investment security settlement.

EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST, TAXES, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION (“EBITDA”) AND

ADJUSTED EBITDA

We believe that EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including agent signing bonus amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA adjusted for significant items) provide useful information to investors because they are indicators of the strength and performance of ongoing business operations, including our ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and operations. These calculations are commonly used as a basis for investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare the operating performance and value of companies within our industry. In addition, our debt agreements require compliance with financial measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA. Finally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures used by management in reviewing results of operations, forecasting, assessing cash flow and capital, allocating resources and establishing employee incentive programs.

Table of Contents

Although we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an exclusive alternative to accompanying GAAP financial measures. The following table is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the related GAAP financial measures.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, EBITDA decreased $50.3 million, or 70 percent, to $21.9 from $72.2 million primarily due to the significant items impacting EBITDA in the table herein. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased $4.3 million, or seven percent, to $68.5 million from $64.2 million, primarily due to money transfer growth, partially offset by the declining euro and lower investment revenue.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, EBITDA decreased $46.7 million, or 38 percent, to $76.8 from $123.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased $12.3 million, or 10 percent, to $136.8 million from $124.5 million, primarily due to money transfer growth, partially offset by the declining euro, lower investment revenue, the timing of marketing spend and other investment initiatives.

SEGMENT PERFORMANCE

Our reporting segments are primarily organized based on the nature of products and services offered and the type of consumer served. We primarily manage our business through two reporting segments: Global Funds Transfer and Financial Paper Products. The Global Funds Transfer segment provides global money transfers and bill payment services to consumers through a network of agents and, in select markets, company-operated locations. The Financial Paper Products segment provides money orders to consumers through our retail and financial institution locations in the United States and Puerto Rico, and provides official check services to financial institutions in the United States. Businesses that are not operated within these segments are categorized as “Other” and primarily relate to discontinued products and businesses. Segment pre-tax operating income and segment operating margin are used to review operating performance and allocate resources.

We manage our investment portfolio on a consolidated level, with no specific investment security assigned to a particular segment. However, investment revenue is allocated to each segment based on the average investment balances generated by that segment’s sale of payment instruments during the period. Net securities (gains) losses are not allocated to the segments as the investment portfolio is managed at a consolidated level. While the derivatives portfolio is also managed on a consolidated level, each derivative instrument is utilized in a manner that can be identified to a particular segment. Forward foreign exchange contracts are identified with the money transfer product in the Global Funds Transfer segment.

Also excluded from operating income for Global Funds Transfer and Financial Paper Products are interest and other expenses related to our credit agreements, items related to our preferred stock, operating income from businesses categorized as “Other,” certain pension and benefit obligation expenses, director deferred compensation plan expenses, executive severance and related costs and certain legal and corporate costs not related to the performance of the segments.

Global Funds Transfer revenue — Total revenue in the Global Funds Transfer segment consists primarily of fees on money transfers and bill payment transactions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, Global Funds Transfer total revenue increased $24.4 million and $50.8 million, respectively, driven by money transfer volume growth, partially offset by a decline in bill payment revenue. Bill payment fee and other revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $1.5 million due to $1.7 million of lower average fees per transaction, partially offset by volume increases of $0.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, bill payment fee and other revenue decreased $4.0 million due to lower average fees per transaction of $3.4 million and lower volumes of $0.6 million. Bill Payment revenue from divested businesses was $1.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, money transfer fee and other revenue increased 10 percent and 11 percent, respectively, driven by the items noted in the following table.

Transactions and the related fee revenue are viewed as originating from the send side of a transaction. Accordingly, discussion of transactions by geographic location refers to the region originating a transaction. Money transfer transaction growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior year is as follows:

Transactions originating in the United States excluding those sent to Mexico

     9     9

Money transfer transactions originating in the United States, excluding transactions sent to Mexico, increased due primarily to an increase in intra–United States remittances. Transactions sent to Mexico grew by 20 percent and 19 percent, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. Mexico represented approximately 10 percent and 9 percent, respectively, of our total transactions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The money transfer agent base expanded 16 percent to approximately 284,000 locations in the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to expansion in the Indian subcontinent, Eastern Europe, Western Europe and Asia Pacific.

Global Funds Transfer commissions expense — Commissions expense consists primarily of fees paid to our third–party agents for money transfer and bill payment services, as well as the amortization of capitalized agent signing bonuses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, fee and other commissions expense increased eight percent and nine percent, respectively, driven by the items noted in the following table.

The higher margin in 2012 reflects the growth in money transfer revenue, partially offset by commissions expense, restructuring and reorganization costs and higher legal and marketing expense.

Money order fee and other revenue decreased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 due to a five percent and three percent, respectively, decline in volumes attributed to the attrition of agents from repricing initiatives, the continued migration by consumers to other payment methods, consumer pricing increases as agents pass along fee increases and the general economic environment. See the “Net Investment Revenue Analysis” section for discussion related to changes in investment revenue.

Financial Paper Products commissions expense — Commissions expense in the Financial Paper Products segment includes payments made to financial institution customers based on amounts generated by the sale of official checks times short–term interest rate indices, payments on money order transactions and amortization of signing bonuses. Commissions expense decreased 36 percent and 39 percent, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, due to the items in the following table. See the “Net Investment Revenue Analysis” section for further discussion of investment commissions expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have various resources available to us for purposes of managing liquidity and capital needs, including our investment portfolio, credit facilities and letters of credit. We refer to our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and available-for-sale investments collectively as our “investment portfolio.” Our primary sources of liquidity include cash flows generated by the sale of our payment instruments, our cash and cash equivalent and short-term balances, proceeds from our investment portfolio and credit capacity under our credit facilities. Our primary operating liquidity needs relate to the settlement of payment service obligations to our agents and financial institution customers, as well as general operating expenses.

Assets in Excess of Payment Service Obligations — We utilize the assets in excess of payment service obligations measure shown below in various liquidity and capital assessments. While assets in excess of payment service obligations, as defined, is a capital measure, it also serves as the foundation for various liquidity analyses.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-term investments — To ensure we maintain adequate liquidity to meet our operating needs at all times, we keep a significant portion of our investment portfolio in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at financial institutions rated Aa3 or better by Moody’s Investor Service, or Moody’s, and AA- or better by Standard & Poors, or S&P, and in United States government money market funds rated Aaa by Moody’s and AAA by S&P. As of June 30, 2012, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $3.1 billion, representing 69 percent of our total investment portfolio. Cash equivalents and short-term investments consist of money market funds that invest in United States government and government agency securities, time deposits and certificates of deposit.

Credit Facilities — Our credit facilities consist of a senior secured facility, which consists of a $150 million five-year revolver, a $390 million six-and-a-half year term loan and a $150 million incremental term loan, and second lien notes. See Note 8 — Debt of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. Outside of payments relating to refinance debt, we have paid down $428.1 million of our outstanding debt since January 1, 2009. We continue to evaluate further reductions of our outstanding debt ahead of scheduled maturities. Our revolving credit facility has $137.3 million of borrowing capacity as of June 30, 2012, net of $12.7 million of outstanding letters of credit.

Our credit facilities contain various financial and non-financial covenants. A violation of these covenants could negatively impact our liquidity by restricting our ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility and/or causing acceleration of amounts due under the credit facilities. We are in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2012. We continue to monitor our covenants and make necessary adjustments to our plans to ensure compliance. We believe that we will remain in compliance with our debt covenants

during 2012. The terms of our credit facilities also place restrictions on certain types of payments we may make, including dividends to our preferred and common stockholders, acquisitions, and the funding of foreign subsidiaries, among others. We do not anticipate these restrictions to limit our ability to grow the business either domestically or internationally. In addition, we may only make dividend payments to common stockholders subject to an incremental build-up based on our consolidated net income in future periods. No dividends were paid on our common stock in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and we do not anticipate declaring any dividends on our common stock during 2012.

Credit Ratings — As of the date of the filing, our credit ratings from Moody’s and S&P were B1 and BB-, respectively. Our credit facilities, regulatory capital requirements and other obligations are not impacted by the level of our credit ratings. However, higher credit ratings could increase our ability to attract capital, minimize our weighted average cost of capital and obtain more favorable terms with our lenders, agents and clearing and cash management banks.

Regulatory Capital Requirements — We were in compliance with all financial regulatory requirements as of June 30, 2012. We believe that our liquidity and capital resources will remain sufficient to ensure on-going compliance with all financial regulatory requirements.

Available-for-sale Investments — Our investment portfolio includes $85.3 million of available-for-sale investments as of June 30, 2012. United States government agency residential mortgage-backed securities and United States government agency debentures compose $58.6 million of our available-for-sale investments, while other asset-backed securities compose the remaining $26.7 million. In completing our recapitalization transaction in March 2008, or the 2008 Recapitalization, we contemplated that our other asset-backed securities might decline further in value. Accordingly, the capital raised assumed a zero value for these securities. As a result, further unrealized losses and impairments on these securities are already funded and would not cause us to seek additional capital or financing.

Contractual Obligations The following table includes aggregated information about the Company’s contractual obligations that impact our liquidity and capital needs.

Debt consists of amounts outstanding under the 2011 Credit Agreement and the second lien notes at June 30, 2012, as disclosed in Note 8 — Debt of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as related interest payments, facility fees and annual commitment fees. Our Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2012 includes $810.4 million of debt, net of unamortized discounts of $3.5 million, and $0.3 million of accrued interest on the debt. The above table reflects the principal and interest that will be paid through the maturity of the debt using the rates in effect on June 30, 2012, and assuming no prepayments of principal and the continued payment of interest on the second lien notes. Operating leases consist of various leases for buildings and equipment used in our business. Other obligations are unfunded capital commitments related to our limited partnership interests included in “Other asset-backed securities” in our investment portfolio. We have other commitments as described further below that are not included in the table above as the timing and/or amount of payments are difficult to estimate.

We have a funded, noncontributory pension plan that is frozen to both future benefit accruals and new participants. Our funding policy has historically been to contribute the minimum contribution required by applicable regulations. We made contributions of $2.0 million and $3.4 million to the defined benefit pension plan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. We anticipate a remaining minimum contribution of up to $6.8 million to the pension plan trust in 2012. We also have certain unfunded pension and postretirement plans that require benefit payments over extended periods of time. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we paid benefits totaling $0.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, related to these unfunded plans. Benefit payments under these unfunded plans are expected to be $2.4 million for the remainder of 2012. Expected contributions and benefit payments under these plans are not included in the above table, as it is difficult to estimate the timing and amount of benefit payments and required contributions beyond the next 12 months.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2012, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $9.6 million. As there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding the timing of potential future cash outflows associated with liabilities, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period in which these liabilities might be paid. In addition, the Company received a Notice of Deficiency from the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, disallowing certain cumulative deductions taken for 2007, referred to herein as the 2005-2007 Notice of Deficiency, and expects to receive a Notice of Deficiency for 2008 and 2009 related to net investment security losses. The Company filed a petition with the United States Tax Court contesting the adjustments in the 2005-2007 Notice of Deficiency and plans to petition the United States Tax Court for 2008 and 2009 as well. If the Company’s petition is denied in its entirety, the Company would be required to make cash payments of $110.1 million based on benefits taken through June 30, 2012. As there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding the timing of potential future cash outflows associated with liabilities, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period in which these liabilities might be paid.

In limited circumstances, we may grant minimum commission guarantees as an incentive to new or renewing agents for a specified period of time at a contractually specified amount. Under the guarantees, we will pay to the agent the difference between the contractually specified minimum commission and the actual commissions earned by the agent. As of June 30, 2012, the minimum commission guarantees had a maximum payment of $12.5 million over a weighted-average remaining term of 2.9 years. The maximum payment is calculated as the contractually guaranteed minimum commission times the remaining term of the contract and, therefore, assumes that the agent generates no money transfer transactions during the remainder of its contract. As of June 30, 2012, the liability for minimum commission guarantees was $3.5 million. Minimum commission guarantees are not reflected in the table above.

Cash flows from operating activities

Operating activities generated net cash of $2.6 million and $12.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Our net cash provided by operating activities before changes in payment service assets and obligations was $58.2 million and $87.6 million, respectively. Changes in our payments service assets and obligations utilized $55.6 million and $75.4 million, respectively, of operating cash flows during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, from the timing of collection and settlement of our payment service assets and obligations, as well as the changes in composition of our investment portfolio.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions and estimates to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP.

Critical accounting policies are those policies that management believes are most important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations, and that require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective or complex. There were no changes to our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended June 30, 2012. For further information regarding our critical accounting policies, refer to Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in our market risk since December 31, 2011. For further information on market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Enterprise Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information that the Company is required to disclose in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting — There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Legal Proceedings — The matters set forth below are subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with certainty. The Company accrues for these matters as any resulting losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated. Further, the Company maintains insurance coverage for many claims and litigations alleged.

Litigation Commenced Against the Company:

Stockholder Litigation — On April 15, 2011 a complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by Willie R. Pittman purporting to be a class action complaint on behalf of all stockholders and a stockholder derivative complaint against the Company, THL, affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co., or Goldman Sachs, and each of the Company’s directors. Ms. Pittman alleged in her complaint that she is a

Table of Contents

stockholder of the Company and asserted, among other things, (i) breach of fiduciary duty and disclosure claims against the Company’s directors, THL and Goldman Sachs, (ii) breach of the Company’s certificate of incorporation claims against the Company, THL and Goldman Sachs, and (iii) claims for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duties against Goldman Sachs. Ms. Pittman purported to sue on her own behalf and on behalf of the Company and its stockholders. Pittman sought to, among other things, enjoin or rescind the 2011 Recapitalization. On April 29, 2011 the plaintiff filed an amended complaint to add two additional plaintiffs, Susan Seales and Stephen Selzer. On May 16, 2011 a hearing to enjoin or rescind the 2011 Recapitalization was held in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, referred to herein as the Delaware Court, and at the hearing, the plaintiffs’ request for a preliminary injunction was denied. The 2011 Recapitalization was completed on May 18, 2011. Since that time, Ms. Pittman has withdrawn as a putative class representative; Ms. Seales and Mr. Selzer remain as plaintiffs. The plaintiffs sought to recover damages of some or all of the cash and stock payments made to THL and Goldman Sachs by the Company in connection with the 2011 Recapitalization.

On May 12, 2011 a complaint was filed in the County Court at Law No. 3 in Dallas County, Texas by Hilary Kramer purporting to be a class action complaint on behalf of all stockholders and a stockholder derivative complaint against the Company, THL, Goldman Sachs and each of the Company’s directors. Ms. Kramer alleged in her complaint that she is a stockholder of the Company and asserted, among other things, (i) breach of fiduciary duty claims against the Company’s directors, THL and Goldman Sachs and (ii) claims for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duties against Goldman Sachs. Ms. Kramer purported to sue on her own behalf and on behalf of the Company and its stockholders. Ms. Kramer sought to, among other things, enjoin the 2011 Recapitalization. The defendants have moved for the Texas court to stay this litigation in favor of the Pittman litigation in Delaware, which has an overlapping class definition.

On July 20, 2012, the parties in the Pittman litigation applied for preliminary approval of a proposed settlement, the terms of which are set forth in a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise and Settlement, dated as of July 19, 2012, referred to herein as the Stipulation. The Stipulation, which is still subject to preliminary and final approval by the Delaware Court, provides for a settlement payment of $10.0 million, to be distributed pro rata to certain stockholders, net of any attorneys’ fees awarded by the Delaware Court. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized $6.5 million of expense for the proposed settlement. The Company, THL, Goldman Sachs, the Company’s directors and other parties agreed to share financial responsibility for funding the settlement payment as follows: (i) the Company will contribute $3.5 million; (ii) the Company’s insurer will contribute $2.8 million under the Company’s director and officer liability policy; (iii) THL and the individuals nominated by THL as directors of the Company, referred to collectively herein as the THL Directors, will waive all future rights to receive cash or equity compensation from the Company for services by the THL Directors or any other directors nominated by THL, and the Company will contribute $2.0 million toward the settlement payment in recognition of such waiver; (iv) Goldman Sachs has agreed to waive reimbursements of $1.0 million of legal fees and expenses associated with the Company’s 2011 Recapitalization, and the Company will contribute this amount toward the settlement payment; and (v) other parties with rights related to the 2011 Recapitalization have agreed to waive reimbursement of $0.8 million of legal fees and expenses, and the Company will contribute this amount toward the settlement payment.

The Stipulation also includes a release by the putative class of stockholders of all claims with respect to the allegations in the action or relating to the 2011 Recapitalization. The Delaware Court has set a hearing on October 10, 2012 to consider final approval of the settlement and entry of judgment. If the settlement is approved, the action will be dismissed with prejudice on the merits, and the Company will seek to dismiss the Texas action as well.

Other Matters — The Company is involved in various claims and litigation that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Management does not believe that after final disposition any of these matters is likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Government Investigations:

MDPA/DOJ Matter — MoneyGram has been served with subpoenas to produce documents and testify before a grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. The subpoenas sought information related to, inter alia, MoneyGram’s U.S. and Canadian agents, as well as certain transactions involving such agents, fraud complaint data, and MoneyGram’s consumer anti-fraud program during the period from 2004 to 2009. MoneyGram has provided information requested pursuant to the subpoenas and continues to provide additional information relating to the investigation. In addition, the Company was provided with subpoenas for the testimony of certain current and former employees in connection with the investigation. Interviews of one former executive officer and one former chief executive officer of the Company have taken place. The U.S. Department of the Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, also requested information, which information was subsequently provided by MoneyGram, concerning MoneyGram’s reporting of fraudulent transactions during this period. In November 2010, MoneyGram met with representatives from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, or the MDPA USAO, and representatives of FinCEN to discuss the investigation. In July 2011, MoneyGram had further discussions with the MDPA USAO and representatives of the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section of the U.S. Department of Justice, or the US DOJ. MoneyGram has been informed that it is being investigated by the federal grand jury in connection with these matters for the period 2004 to early 2009 as well as MoneyGram’s anti-money laundering program during that period. In January 2012, meetings were held between representatives of the Company, the MDPA USAO and the Criminal Division of the US DOJ to discuss the investigation. During the course of these discussions, the Company was advised that consideration was being given to a range of possible outcomes, including the seeking of criminal penalties against the Company.

 

51


Table of Contents

On March 19, 2012, the Company entered into a tolling agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania and the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section of the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice that tolled the statute of limitations applicable to any criminal proceedings that the government might later initiate to include the period from March 23, 2012 through and including December 31, 2012.

MoneyGram continues to engage in discussions and to cooperate with the government representatives regarding the investigation. However, the Company is unable to determine at this time what the final resolution of the investigation will be, including the nature of any proceeding and the manner in which it will be resolved. In the second quarter, the Company recorded an accrual of $30.0 million in connection with a possible resolution of this matter, based on the facts and circumstances known at this time. However, the Company is unable at this time to reasonably estimate the ultimate loss and no assurance can be given that costs and payments made in connection with this matter will not exceed the amount currently recorded or that the government will not also seek to impose non-monetary remedies or penalties.

State Civil Investigative Demands — MoneyGram has also received Civil Investigative Demands from a working group of nine state attorneys general who have initiated an investigation into whether the Company has taken adequate steps to prevent consumer fraud during the period from 2007 to 2011. The Civil Investigative Demands seek information and documents relating to the Company’s procedures to prevent fraudulent transfers and consumer complaint information. MoneyGram continues to cooperate fully with the states in this matter. MoneyGram has submitted the information and documents requested by the states. No claims have been made against MoneyGram at this time.

Other Matters — The Company is involved in various government inquiries and other matters that arise from time to time. Management does not believe that after final disposition any of these matters is likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Action Commenced by the Company:

CDO Litigation — In March 2012, the Company initiated an arbitration proceeding before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority against Goldman Sachs & Co., or Goldman Sachs. The arbitration relates to MoneyGram’s purchase of Residential Mortgage Backed Securities and Collateral Debt Obligations that Goldman sold to MoneyGram during the 2005 through 2007 timeframe. The Company alleges, among other things, that Goldman made material misrepresentations and omissions in connection with the sale of these products, ultimately causing significant losses to the Company for which the Company is currently seeking damages. Goldman owns, together with certain of its affiliates, approximately 19 percent of the shares of the Company’s common stock on a diluted basis, assuming conversion of the Company’s Series D Participating Convertible Preferred Stock currently owned by Goldman and its affiliates.

Tax Litigation — On May 14, 2012, the Company filed a petition in the United States Tax Court challenging the 2005-2007 Notice of Deficiency, pursuant to which the IRS determined that the Company owes additional corporate income taxes because certain deductions relating to securities losses were capital in nature, rather than ordinary losses. The Company asserts that it properly deducted its securities losses and that, consequently, no additional corporate income taxes are owed. If the Company’s petition is denied in its entirety, the Company would be required to make cash payments of $110.1 million based on benefits taken through June 30, 2012. The IRS filed a response to the Company’s petition on July 18, 2012 reasserting its original position.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no changes in the risk factors set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. For further information, refer to Part I, Item IA, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December  31, 2011.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of a total of 12,000,000 common shares. The repurchase authorization is effective until such time as the Company has repurchased 12,000,000 common shares. Common stock tendered to the Company in connection with the exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock are not considered repurchased shares under the terms of the repurchase authorization. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has repurchased 6,795,017 common shares under this authorization and has remaining authorization to repurchase up to 5,204,983 shares. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended June 30, 2012. However, the Company may consider repurchasing shares from time-to-time, subject to limitations in its debt agreements.
