Intermex Business Updates
“Our differentiated approach to the market continues to deliver
exceptional results. During the first quarter transaction growth
continued to be very strong and increased at an increasing rate in
the second quarter,” said Bob Lisy, President, Chairman, and Chief
Executive Officer of Intermex. “From April 1 through June 21, 2018,
we completed 5.6 million remittances with $2.1 billion in volume,
each of which exceeded amounts budgeted for the quarter by
approximately 4.9% and 11.0%, respectively. May remittance
transactions hit a record high for the company with over two
million remittances sent in the month, reflecting a 28% increase
compared to May 2017, while gross margin grew at 30% for the month
year-over-year. We expect a strong finish to the quarter with June
revenue growth outpacing May.”
Daniel Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of FNTE, commented “We are
delighted as Intermex continues to outperform expectations, with
adjusted EBITDA for the quarter exceeding projections by an
expected 15-18%. We feel these impressive results are a direct
reflection of Intermex’s unique value proposition and ability to
drive continued revenue growth and margin expansion through its
differentiated go to market strategy.”

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements may be identified by the use of words such as
“anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “continue”, “expect”, “estimate”,
“may”, “plan”, “outlook”, “future” and “project” and other similar
expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or
that are not statements of historical matters. These statements,
which involve risks and uncertainties, relate to analyses and other
information that are based on forecasts of future results and
estimates of amounts not yet determinable and may also relate to
our future prospects, developments and business strategies. In
particular, such forward-looking statements include statements
concerning the timing of the merger; the business plans,
objectives, expectations and intentions of the public company once
the transaction is complete, and Intermex’s estimated and future
results of operations, business strategies, competitive position,
industry environment and potential growth opportunities. These
statements are based on FNTE’s or Intermex’s management’s current
expectations and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions
concerning future events.
Such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown
risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many
of which are outside FNTE’s or Intermex’s control that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in
the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties,
assumptions and other important factors include, but are not
limited to, (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other
circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger
agreement; (2) the inability to complete the transactions
contemplated by the merger agreement due to the failure to obtain
approval of the stockholders of FNTE or other conditions to closing
in the merger agreement; (3) the ability of the public entity to
meet NASDAQ’s listing standards following the merger; (4) the risk
that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations
of Intermex as a result of the announcement and consummation of the
merger transactions; (5) the ability to recognize the anticipated
benefits of the proposed business combination, which may be
affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the
combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain
relationships with suppliers and retain its management and key
employees; (6) costs related to the proposed business combination;
(7) changes in applicable laws or regulations; and (8) the
possibility that Intermex may be adversely affected by other
economic, business, regulatory and/or competitive factors.
Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking
statements can be found in FNTE’s most recent annual report on Form
10-K and subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and
current reports on Form 8-K, which are available, free of charge,
at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov., and in the registration
statement on Form S-4 and FNTE’s proxy statement/prospectus. New
risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is
impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect
us. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made,
and FNTE and Intermex undertake no obligation to update or revise
the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
