Business and Basis of Presentation | THE WESTERN UNION COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. Business and Basis of Presentation Business The Western Union Company ("Western Union" or the "Company") is a leader in global money movement and payment services, providing people and businesses with fast, reliable, and convenient ways to send money and make payments around the world. The Western Union® brand is globally recognized. The Company’s services are primarily available through a network of agent locations in more than 200 countries and territories and through online money transfer transactions conducted and funded through websites and mobile apps marketed under the Company’s brands (“westernunion.com”) and transactions initiated on internet and mobile applications hosted by the Company’s third-party white label or co-branded digital partners (together with westernunion.com, “Digital Money Transfer”). Each location in the Company’s agent network is capable of providing one or more of the Company’s services. The Western Union business consists of the following segments:
All businesses and other services that have not been classified in the above segments are reported as Other, which primarily includes the Company’s cash-based and electronic-based bill payment services which facilitate payments from consumers to businesses and other organizations and the Company’s money order services. In May 2019, the Company sold a substantial majority of its United States based electronic bill payments services, as discussed in Note 4. The Company’s other services, in addition to certain corporate costs such as costs related to strategic initiatives, including costs for the review and closing of mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, are also included in Other. See Note 16 for further information regarding the Company’s segments. There are legal or regulatory limitations on transferring certain assets of the Company outside of the countries where these assets are located. However, there are generally no limitations on the use of these assets within those countries. Additionally, the Company must meet minimum capital requirements in some countries in order to maintain operating licenses. As of December 31, 2019, the amount of these net asset limitations totaled approximately $610 million. Various aspects of the Company’s services and businesses are subject to United States federal, state, and local regulation, as well as regulation by foreign jurisdictions, including certain banking and other financial services regulations. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In compliance with those instructions, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts were eliminated as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for all periods presented. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all the normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows as of September 30, 2020 and for all periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Consistent with industry practice, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are unclassified due to the short-term nature of the Company’s settlement obligations contrasted with the Company’s ability to invest cash awaiting settlement in long-term investment securities. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak associated with a novel coronavirus a pandemic (“COVID-19”), and governments throughout the world instituted various actions such as lockdowns, stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions, and closures of non-essential businesses in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19. These actions negatively impacted the Company’s ability to offer its services, at least temporarily, through a portion of its locations and its retail agent locations during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Beginning in March 2020 and continuing into the second and third quarters of 2020, the Company experienced a decrease in transaction volumes from retail locations and a decrease in foreign exchange and payment services activity, which also negatively impacted revenues in these periods, partially offset by revenue growth from westernunion.com and other digital transactions. The Company believes this decrease is mainly due to economic decline and uncertainty resulting from the outbreak. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak continues to impact the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict. To the extent the pandemic or the related macro-economic consequences continue, the Company could potentially experience changes in estimates, including increased credit losses or intangible asset impairments in future periods. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted a new accounting standard that requires entities to measure expected credit losses for certain financial assets held at the reporting date using a current expected credit loss model, which is based on historical experience, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Additionally, the standard requires certain credit losses relating to investment securities classified as available-for-sale to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of the new accounting standard as an adjustment to the January 1, 2020 balance of Accumulated deficit in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the adoption of the new accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s January 1, 2020 accumulated deficit. In accordance with the approach, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under accounting standards in effect for those periods. Refer to Note 10 for additional information on expected credit losses and the related disclosures.

Revenue | 2. Revenue The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from consideration paid by customers to transfer money. These revenues vary by transaction based upon factors such as channel, send and receive locations, the principal amount sent, whether the money transfer involves different send and receive currencies, the difference between the exchange rate set by the Company to the customer and the rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market, and speed of service, as applicable. The Company also offers several other services, including foreign exchange and payment services and other bill payment services, for which revenue is impacted by similar factors. For the substantial majority of the Company’s revenues, the Company acts as the principal in transactions and reports revenue on a gross basis, as the Company controls the service at all times prior to transfer to the customer, is primarily responsible for fulfilling the customer contracts, has the risk of loss, and has the ability to establish transaction prices. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The Company recognized $1,214.3 million and $1,238.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and $3,392.5 million and $3,788.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in revenues from contracts with customers. There are no material upfront costs incurred to obtain contracts with customers. Under the Company’s loyalty programs, which are primarily offered in its money transfer services, the Company must fulfill loyalty program rewards earned by customers. The loyalty program redemption activity has been and continues to be insignificant to the Company’s results of operations, and the Company has immaterial contract liability balances, which primarily relate to its customer loyalty programs and other services. Contract asset balances related to customers were also immaterial as of the periods presented, as the Company typically receives payment of consideration from its customers prior to satisfying performance obligations under the customer contracts. In addition to revenue generated from contracts with customers, the Company recognizes revenue from other sources, including the sale of derivative financial instruments and investment income generated on settlement assets primarily related to money transfer and money order services. The Company analyzes its different services individually to determine the appropriate basis for revenue recognition, as further described below. Consumer Money Transfers For the Company’s money transfer services, customers agree to the Company’s terms and conditions at the time of initiating a transaction. In a money transfer, the Company has one performance obligation as the customer engages the Company to perform one integrated service which typically occurs within minutes — collect the customer’s money and make funds available for payment to a designated person in the currency requested. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of the following: (i) the customer’s acknowledgment of the Company’s terms and conditions and payment information has been received by the Company, (ii) the Company has agreed to process the money transfer, (iii) the Company has provided the customer a unique transaction identification number, and (iv) funds are available to be picked up by the customer’s designated receiving party. The transaction price is comprised of a transaction fee and the difference between the exchange rate set by the Company to the customer and the rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market, as applicable, both of which are readily determinable at the time the transaction is initiated. Foreign Exchange and Payment Services For the Company’s foreign exchange and payment services, customers agree to terms and conditions for all transactions, either at the time of initiating a transaction or signing a contract with the Company to provide payment services on the customer’s behalf. In the majority of the Company’s foreign exchange and payment services, the Company makes payments to the recipient to satisfy its performance obligation to the customer, and therefore, the Company recognizes revenue on foreign exchange and payment services when this performance obligation has been fulfilled. Revenues from foreign exchange and payment services are primarily comprised of the difference between the exchange rate set by the Company to the customer and the rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market. Consumer Bill Payments The Company offers several different bill payment services that vary by considerations such as: (i) who pays the fee to the Company (consumer or biller), (ii) whether the service is offered to all potential consumers, or only to those for which the Company has a relationship with the biller, and (iii) whether the service utilizes a physical agent network offered for consumers’ convenience, among other factors. The determination of which party is the Company’s customer for revenue recognition purposes is based on these considerations for each of the Company’s bill payment services. For all transactions, the Company’s customers agree to the Company’s terms and conditions, either at the time of initiating a transaction (where the consumer is determined to be the customer for revenue recognition purposes) or upon signing a contract with the Company to provide services on the biller’s behalf (where the biller is determined to be the customer for revenue recognition purposes). As with consumer money transfers, customers engage the Company to perform one integrated service — collect money from the consumer and process the bill payment transaction, thereby providing the billers real-time or near real-time information regarding their customers’ payments and simplifying the billers’ collection efforts. In May 2019, the Company sold a substantial majority of its United States based electronic bill payments services, as discussed in Note 4. Management has determined that the significant majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time. The following tables represent the disaggregation of revenue earned from contracts with customers by product type and region for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (in millions). The regional split of revenue shown in the tables below is based upon where transactions are initiated.

Earnings Per Share | 3. Earnings Per Share The calculation of basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Outstanding options to purchase Western Union stock and unvested shares of restricted stock are excluded from basic shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options at the presented dates are exercised and shares of restricted stock have vested, using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes proceeds from the exercise price of stock options and the unamortized compensation expense of options and restricted stock are available to acquire shares at an average market price throughout the period, and therefore, reduce the dilutive effect. Shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation under the treasury stock method, primarily due to outstanding restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of Western Union stock, as the assumed proceeds of the restricted stock and options per unit were above the Company’s average share price during the periods and their effect was anti-dilutive, were 1.3 million and 0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 1.7 million and 2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The following table provides the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding (in millions):

Divestitures | 4. Divestitures On February 28, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with ACI Worldwide Corp. and ACW Worldwide, Inc. to sell its United States based electronic bill payments business known as “Speedpay,” which had been included as a component of Other in the Company’s segment reporting. The Company received approximately $750 million and recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $523 million, which is included in Gain on divestitures of businesses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, in the all-cash transaction that closed on May 9, 2019. Speedpay revenues and direct operating expenses included in the Company’s results were $125.4 million and $98.2 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. On May 6, 2019, the Company completed the sale of Paymap Inc. (“Paymap”), which provides electronic mortgage bill payment services, for contingent consideration and immaterial cash proceeds received at closing. The Company recorded an immaterial pre-tax gain related to this sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company sold its former corporate headquarters and recorded an immaterial pre-tax net gain on the sale. The proceeds from this sale have been included in Cash flows from investing activities within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Restructuring-Related Expenses | 5. Restructuring-Related Expenses On August 1, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to change the Company’s operating model and improve its business processes and cost structure by reorganizing the Company’s senior management, including those managers reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, reducing its headcount, and consolidating various facilities. The Company expects to incur approximately $150 million of total expenses through 2020, with approximately $110 million related to severance and employee-related benefits and approximately $40 million related to costs associated with the relocation of various operations to other Company facilities, facility closures, lease terminations, consulting, and other expenses. Substantially all of these expenses are expected to be paid in cash. The foregoing figures are the Company’s estimates and are subject to change as the plan is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2020. While certain of the expenses may be identifiable to the Company’s segments, primarily to the Company’s Consumer-to-Consumer segment, the expenses are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses are therefore excluded from the Company’s segment operating income results. These expenses are specific to this initiative; however, the types of expenses related to this initiative are similar to expenses that the Company has previously incurred and can reasonably be expected to incur in the future. The following table summarizes the activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 for expenses related to the restructuring accruals, which are included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2020, and the total expenses incurred since the inception of the restructuring plan (in millions):

Leases | 6. Leases The Company leases real properties for use as administrative and sales offices, in addition to transportation, office, and other equipment. The Company determines if a contract contains a lease arrangement at the inception of the contract. For leases in which the Company is the lessee, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are initially measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term plus initial direct costs, if any. If a lease does not provide a discount rate and the rate cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is used to determine the future lease payments. Lease and variable non-lease components within the Company’s lease agreements are accounted for separately. The Company has no material leases in which the Company is the lessor. The Company’s leasing arrangements are classified as operating leases, for which expense is recognized on a straight-line basis. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, total ROU assets were $192.8 million and $199.7 million, respectively, and operating lease liabilities were $236.9 million and $242.3 million, respectively. The ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are included in Other assets and Other liabilities, respectively, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash paid for operating lease liabilities is recorded as Cash flows from operating activities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Operating lease costs, which are included in Total expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, were $13.2 million and $13.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $39.2 million and $42.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Short-term and variable lease costs were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company’s leases have remaining terms from less than 1 year to 11 years. Certain of these leases contain escalation provisions and/or renewal options, giving the Company the right to extend the lease by up to 10 years. However, a significant majority of these options are not reflected in the calculation of the ROU asset and operating lease liability due to uncertainty surrounding the likelihood of renewal. The following table summarizes the weighted-average lease terms and discount rates for operating lease liabilities:

Fair Value Measurements | 7. Fair Value Measurements Fair value, as defined by the relevant accounting standards, represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. For additional information on how the Company measures fair value, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Other Fair Value Measurements The carrying amounts for many of the Company’s financial instruments, including certain cash and cash equivalents, settlement cash and cash equivalents, and settlement receivables and obligations approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The Company’s borrowings are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, and the aggregate fair value of these borrowings was based on quotes from multiple banks. Fixed-rate notes are carried in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their original issuance values as adjusted over time to accrete that value to par. As of September 30, 2020, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s borrowings were $3,036.5 million and $3,253.7 million, respectively (see Note 13). As of December 31, 2019, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s borrowings were $3,229.3 million and $3,372.2 million, respectively. |

Commitments and Contingencies | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 8. Commitments and Contingencies Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees The Company had approximately $370 million in outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees as of September 30, 2020 primarily held in connection with safeguarding consumer funds, lease arrangements, and certain agent agreements. The significant majority of the Company’s letters of credit and bank guarantees have a one-year renewal option. The Company expects to renew the letters of credit and bank guarantees prior to expiration in most circumstances. Litigation and Related Contingencies The Company is subject to certain claims and litigation that could result in losses, including damages, fines, and/or civil penalties, which could be significant, and in some cases, criminal charges. The Company regularly evaluates the status of legal matters to assess whether a loss is probable and reasonably estimable in determining whether an accrual is appropriate. Furthermore, in determining whether disclosure is appropriate, the Company evaluates each legal matter to assess if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional losses may have been incurred and whether an estimate of possible loss or range of loss can be made. Unless otherwise specified below, the Company believes that there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional losses may have been incurred for each of the matters described below. For those matters that the Company believes there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional losses may have been incurred and can reasonably estimate the loss or potential loss, the reasonably possible potential litigation losses in excess of the Company’s recorded liability for probable and estimable losses was approximately $30 million as of September 30, 2020. For the remaining matters, management is unable to provide a meaningful estimate of the possible loss or range of loss because, among other reasons: (i) the proceedings are in preliminary stages; (ii) specific damages have not been sought; (iii) damage claims are unsupported and/or unreasonable; (iv) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (v) there are significant factual issues to be resolved; or (vi) novel legal issues or unsettled legal theories are being asserted. The outcomes of legal actions are unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, and it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even possible. It is also inherently difficult to estimate the amount of any loss and there may be matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible but not currently estimable. Accordingly, actual losses may be in excess of the established liability or the range of reasonably possible loss. Shareholder Derivative Action On January 16, 2020, Stanley Lieblein filed a shareholder derivative complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware naming the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, certain current and former directors, and a former executive officer as individual defendants and the Company as a nominal defendant. Mr. Lieblein had previously filed a shareholder derivative action asserting related claims in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, which was subsequently consolidated with multiple pending related derivative actions. Following the filing of multiple amended complaints, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit affirmed dismissal of the consolidated derivative action on April 16, 2019 on the ground that the plaintiffs did not have standing to proceed on behalf of the Company without making a demand on the Company’s board of directors. The consolidated derivative action is described in further detail in Part I, Item I, Financial Statements, Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2019. On August 1, 2019, Mr. Lieblein made a written demand on the Company’s board of directors to investigate and address alleged misconduct related to the Company’s anti-fraud and anti-money laundering (“AML”) compliance programs, including certain alleged misconduct at issue in the consolidated derivative action. The Company’s board of directors formed a special committee to evaluate Mr. Lieblein’s demand together with a related shareholder demand. The special committee’s investigation is ongoing. Mr. Lieblein alleges that he filed the January 16, 2020 complaint prior to the completion of the special committee’s investigation because of concerns regarding the statute of limitations on some of the claims asserted. Mr. Lieblein has agreed to stay the action until December 31, 2020, pending completion of the special committee’s investigation. The complaint filed by Mr. Lieblein on January 16, 2020 includes allegations that the director and officer defendants declined to implement effective anti-fraud and AML compliance systems after receiving numerous red flags indicating prolonged willful illegality, condoned executive officers’ obstruction of efforts by various regulators to impose an effective compliance system on the Company, approved executive compensation packages for management that were not aligned with development of effective anti-fraud and AML compliance programs, allowed management to fail to timely report known or likely impropriety by Company employees or agents to regulatory authorities, failed to require management to adopt a risk assessment for all very high risk areas, refused to remedy the board’s oversight of executive officers, and, in effect, refused Mr. Lieblein’s shareholder demand and related request for tolling agreements. It also includes allegations that the officer defendants declined to ensure that the Company implemented effective anti-fraud and AML compliance programs after receiving red flags that those programs were inadequate, allowed Company agents to willfully ignore anti-fraud and AML recording and reporting requirements for a prolonged period, opposed efforts by various regulators to implement effective anti-fraud and AML compliance programs, caused the Company to fail to comply with its obligations under settlements with regulators, and knowingly exposed the Company to criminal and civil sanctions. Due to the nature of this matter and the early stage of the proceedings, the Company cannot predict the outcome or potential impact of the matter. Other Matters On March 12, 2014, Jason Douglas filed a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois asserting a claim under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227, et seq., based on allegations that since 2009, the Company has sent text messages to class members’ wireless telephones without their consent. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company’s insurance carrier and the plaintiff reached an agreement to create an $8.5 million settlement fund that will be used to pay all class member claims, class counsel’s fees and the costs of administering the settlement. The agreement has been signed by the parties and, on November 10, 2015, the Court granted preliminary approval to the settlement. On January 9, 2018, plaintiff filed a motion requesting decisions on its pending motion to approve the settlement and motion for attorneys’ fees, costs, and incentive award. On August 31, 2018, the Court issued an order approving the settlement, in which the Court modified the class definition slightly and ordered the parties to provide additional notice to the class. An appeal relating to the Court’s order was taken by an objector, and this appeal was dismissed on April 13, 2020. The Company and its insurance carrier have funded the settlement and, on October 5, 2020, the Court entered the final order and judgment in the case. In October 2015, Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil para su Defensa, an Argentinian consumer association, filed a purported class action lawsuit in Argentina’s National Commercial Court No. 19 against the Company’s subsidiary Western Union Financial Services Argentina S.R.L. (“WUFSA”). The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that WUFSA’s fees for money transfers sent from Argentina are excessive and that WUFSA does not provide consumers with adequate information about foreign exchange rates. The plaintiff is seeking, among other things, an order requiring WUFSA to reimburse consumers for the fees they paid and the foreign exchange revenue associated with money transfers sent from Argentina, plus punitive damages. The complaint does not specify a monetary value of the claim or a time period. In November 2015, the Court declared the complaint formally admissible as a class action. The notice of claim was served on WUFSA in May 2016, and in June 2016 WUFSA filed a response to the claim and moved to dismiss it on statute of limitations and standing grounds. In April 2017, the Court deferred ruling on the motion until later in the proceedings. The process for notifying potential class members has been completed and the case proceeded to the evidentiary stage. On June 4, 2020, the case was stayed because the consumer association that filed the lawsuit no longer had the registration needed to assert its claims on behalf of the alleged class. The case will be stayed until (i) the Attorney-General instructs the Prosecutor to continue to litigate the claims on behalf of the plaintiff (during the time the registration of Consumidores Financieros before the Secretary of Commerce remains suspended); or (ii) the parties report to the Court that the plaintiff recovered its legal capacity. Due to the stage of this matter, the Company is unable to predict the outcome or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with this matter. WUFSA intends to defend itself vigorously. On April 26, 2018, the Company, its subsidiary, Western Union Financial Services, Inc., its President and Chief Executive Officer, and various “Doe Defendants” (purportedly including Western Union officers, directors, and agents) were named as defendants in a purported class action lawsuit asserting claims for alleged violations of civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and the Colorado Organized Crime Act, civil theft, negligence, unjust enrichment, and conversion under the caption Frazier et al. v. The Western Union Company et al., Civil Action No. 1:18-cv-00998-KLM (D. Colo.). The complaint alleges that, during the purported class period of January 1, 2004 to the present, and based largely on the admissions and allegations relating to the United States Department of Justice, Federal Trade Commission, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and State Attorneys General Settlements, as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the defendants engaged in a scheme to defraud customers through Western Union’s money transfer system. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on July 17, 2018. The amended complaint is similar to the original complaint, although it adds additional named plaintiffs and additional counts, including claims on behalf of putative California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and New Jersey subclasses for alleged violations of the California Unfair Competition Law, the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act, the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, and the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act. On August 28, 2018, the Company and the other defendants moved to stay the action in favor of individual arbitrations with the named plaintiffs, which defendants contend are contractually required. On March 27, 2019, the Court granted that motion and stayed the action pending individual arbitrations with the named plaintiffs. To date, no such individual arbitration requests have been filed. On August 27, 2020, the Court issued an order requiring that the parties indicate whether the case should remain administratively closed, subject to reopening, or that the parties file dismissal papers stating that the case may be terminated from the Court’s docket. That same day, Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Dismissal, indicating that they had dismissed the action and that the case may be terminated from the Court’s docket. In addition to the principal matters described above, the Company is a party to a variety of other legal matters that arise in the normal course of the Company’s business. While the results of these other legal matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect either individually or in the aggregate on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. |

Settlement Assets and Obligations | 10. Settlement Assets and Obligations Settlement assets represent funds received or to be received from agents for unsettled money transfers, money orders, and consumer payments. The Company records corresponding settlement obligations relating to amounts payable under money transfers, money orders, and consumer payment service arrangements. Settlement assets and obligations also include amounts receivable from, and payable to, customers for the value of their cross-currency payment transactions related to the Business Solutions segment. Settlement assets and obligations consisted of the following (in millions):
Receivables from agents represent funds collected by such agents, but in transit to the Company, and were $992.1 million as of September 30, 2020. Cash received by Western Union agents generally becomes available to the Company within one week after initial receipt by the agent. Western Union has a large and diverse agent base, thereby reducing the credit risk of the Company from any one agent. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its agents’ financial condition and credit worthiness. Receivables from Business Solutions customers arise from cross-currency payment transactions in the Business Solutions segment. Business Solutions receivables totaled $69.5 million as of September 30, 2020. Receivables occur when funds have been paid out to a beneficiary but not yet received from the customer. Collection of these receivables ordinarily occurs within a few days. To mitigate risk associated with potential Business Solutions customer defaults, the Company performs credit reviews on an ongoing basis. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted a new accounting standard related to the estimation of the allowance for credit losses, as discussed in Note 1. However, due to the short-term nature of the Company’s receivables and the Company’s historical and expected collections practice, the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company separately establishes and monitors an allowance for credit losses related to receivables from agents and Business Solutions customers. The Company estimates the allowance based on its historical collections experience, adjusted for current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions, including those related to COVID-19. Given the short-term nature of these receivables, the Company does not expect the impact of forecasted economic conditions on its allowance for credit loss to be significant. The Company has estimated credit losses based on information known as of September 30, 2020. The following table summarizes activity in the allowance for credit losses on receivables from agents and Business Solutions customers (in millions):
Investment securities included in Settlement assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consist primarily of highly-rated state and municipal debt securities, including fixed-rate term notes and variable-rate demand notes. Variable-rate demand note securities can be put (sold at par) typically on a daily basis with settlement periods ranging from the same day to one week but have varying maturities through 2057. These securities may be used by the Company for short-term liquidity needs and held for short periods of time. Investment securities are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates and credit risk. The Company is required to hold highly-rated, investment grade securities and such investments are restricted to satisfy outstanding settlement obligations in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. The Company’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. Western Union regularly monitors credit risk and attempts to mitigate its exposure by investing in highly-rated securities and through investment diversification. Unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred taxes. Available-for-sale securities with a fair value below the amortized cost basis are evaluated on an individual basis to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Factors that could indicate a credit loss exists include but are not limited to: (i) negative earnings performance, (ii) credit rating downgrades, or (iii) adverse changes in the regulatory or economic environment of the asset. Any impairment that is not credit-related is excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred taxes, unless the Company intends to sell the impaired security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovering its amortized cost basis. Credit-related impairments are recognized immediately as an adjustment to earnings, regardless of whether the Company has the ability or intent to hold the security to maturity, and are limited to the difference between fair value and the amortized cost basis. As of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s allowance for credit losses and provision for credit losses on its available-for-sale securities were immaterial. The components of investment securities are as follows (in millions):
The following summarizes the contractual maturities of available-for-sale securities within Settlement assets as of September 30, 2020 (in millions):
Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay the obligations or the Company may have the right to put the obligation prior to its contractual maturity, as with variable-rate demand notes. Variable-rate demand notes, having a fair value of $15.0 million, $2.0 million, and $695.5 million were included in the categories "Due after 1 year through 5 years," "Due after 5 years through 10 years," and "Due after 10 years," respectively, in the table above. In addition, from time to time, the Company has made advances to its agents. We generally owe settlement funds payable to these agents that offset these advances. These amounts advanced to agents are included within Other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2020, amounts advanced to agents were $124.4 million, and the related allowance for credit losses was immaterial. |

The Company’s Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.20 per common share for each of the first three quarters of 2019, representing $257.1 million in total dividends. Of this amount, $84.2 million was paid on September 30, 2019, $85.5 million was paid on June 28, 2019, and $87.4 million was paid on March 29, 2019. Share Repurchases During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 8.5 million and 24.4 million shares were repurchased for $217.4 million and $475.2 million, respectively, excluding commissions, at an average cost of $25.45 and $19.48, respectively. These amounts represent shares authorized by the Board of Directors for repurchase under publicly announced authorizations. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company temporarily paused and has not resumed share repurchases, and as of September 30, 2020, $782.6 million remains available under the share repurchase authorization approved by the Company’s Board of Directors through December 31, 2021. The amounts included in the Common stock repurchased line in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows represent both shares authorized by the Board of Directors for repurchase under publicly announced authorizations and shares withheld from employees to cover tax withholding obligations on restricted stock units that have vested. |

Derivatives | 12. Derivatives The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily the euro, and, to a lesser degree, the British pound, Canadian dollar, and other currencies, related to forecasted revenues and settlement assets and obligations, as well as on certain foreign currency denominated cash and other asset and liability positions. The Company is also exposed to risk from derivative contracts, primarily from customer derivatives, arising from its cross-currency Business Solutions payment operations. Additionally, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to changes in market rates both prior to and subsequent to the issuance of debt. The Company has used derivatives to (i) minimize its exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, and (ii) facilitate cross-currency Business Solutions payments by writing derivatives to customers. The Company executes derivatives with established financial institutions; the substantial majority of these financial institutions have a credit rating of "A-" or higher from a major credit rating agency. Customer derivatives written by the Company’s Business Solutions operations primarily involve small and medium size enterprises. The primary credit risk inherent in derivative agreements represents the possibility that a loss may occur from the nonperformance of a counterparty to the agreements. The Company performs a review of the credit risk of these counterparties at the inception of the contract and on an ongoing basis, while also monitoring the concentration of its contracts with any individual counterparty. The Company anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the agreements, but takes action when doubt arises about the counterparties’ ability to perform. These actions may include requiring Business Solutions customers to post or increase collateral, and for all counterparties, the possible termination of the related contracts. The Company’s hedged foreign currency exposures are in liquid currencies; consequently, there is minimal risk that appropriate derivatives to maintain the hedging program would not be available in the future. Foreign Currency Derivatives The Company’s policy is to use longer duration foreign currency forward contracts, with maturities of up to 36 months at inception and a targeted weighted-average maturity of approximately one year, to help mitigate some of the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the United States dollar could have on forecasted revenues denominated in other currencies related to its business. As of September 30, 2020, these foreign currency forward contracts had maturities of a maximum of 24 months with a weighted-average maturity of approximately one year. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges of forecasted revenue, with effectiveness assessed based on changes in the spot rate of the affected currencies during the period of designation and thus time value is excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. The initial value of the excluded components is amortized into Revenues within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company also uses short duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities ranging from a to one month, to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on settlement assets and obligations between initiation and settlement. In addition, forward contracts, typically with maturities of less than one year at inception, are utilized tooffset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated cash and other asset and liability positions. None of these contracts are designated as accounting hedges. The aggregate equivalent United States dollar notional amounts of foreign currency forward contracts as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows (in millions):
Business Solutions Operations The Company writes derivatives, primarily foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts, mostly with small and medium size enterprises and derives a currency spread from this activity as part of its Business Solutions operations. The Company aggregates its Business Solutions foreign currency exposures arising from customer contracts, including the derivative contracts described above, and hedges the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties (economic hedge contracts). The derivatives written are part of the broader portfolio of foreign currency positions arising from the Company’s cross-currency payments operations, which primarily include spot exchanges of currency in addition to forwards and options. Foreign exchange revenues from the total portfolio of positions were $76.9 million and $88.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $234.4 million and $257.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. None of the derivative contracts used in Business Solutions operations are designated as accounting hedges and the majority of these derivative contracts have a duration at inception of less than one year. The aggregate equivalent United States dollar notional amount of derivative customer contracts held by the Company in its Business Solutions operations was approximately $7.5 billion as of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The significant majority of customer contracts are written in the following currencies: the United States dollar, the euro, and the Canadian dollar. Interest Rate Hedging From time to time, the Company utilizes interest rate swaps to effectively change the interest rate payments on a portion of its notes from fixed-rate payments to short-term, variable rate payments in order to manage its overall exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company designates these derivatives as fair value hedges. The change in fair value of the interest rate swaps is offset by a change in the carrying value of the debt being hedged within Borrowings in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income has been adjusted to include the effects of interest accrued on the swaps. On November 15, 2019, the Company terminated its interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges in connection with the repayment of $324.9 million of aggregate principal amount unsecured notes in the fourth quarter of 2019 and received cash of $0.9 million. Therefore, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges. Balance Sheet The following table summarizes the fair value of derivatives reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in millions):
The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities associated with contracts that include netting language that the Company believes to be enforceable have been netted in the following tables to present the Company’s net exposure with these counterparties. The Company’s rights under these agreements generally allow for transactions to be settled on a net basis, including upon early termination, which could occur upon the counterparty’s default, a change in control, or other conditions. In addition, certain of the Company’s other agreements include netting provisions, the enforceability of which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and depending on the circumstances. Due to the uncertainty related to the enforceability of these provisions, the derivative balances associated with these agreements are included within "Derivatives that are not or may not be subject to master netting arrangement or similar agreement" in the following tables. In certain circumstances, the Company may require its Business Solutions customers to maintain collateral balances which may mitigate the risk associated with potential customer defaults. The following tables summarize the gross and net fair value of derivative assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in millions): Offsetting of Derivative Assets
Offsetting of Derivative Liabilities
Income Statement Cash Flow and Fair Value Hedges The effective portion of the change in fair value of derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in AOCL in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Generally, amounts are recognized in income when the related forecasted transaction affects earnings. The following table presents the pre-tax amount of unrealized gains/(losses) recognized in other comprehensive income from cash flow hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (in millions):
The following tables present the location and amounts of pre-tax gains/(losses) from fair value and cash flow hedging relationships recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (in millions):
Undesignated Hedges The following table presents the location and amount of pre-tax net gains/(losses) from undesignated hedges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income on derivatives for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (in millions):
All cash flows associated with derivatives are included in Cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Based on September 30, 2020 foreign exchange rates, an accumulated other comprehensive pre-tax loss of $8.8 million related to the foreign currency forward contracts is expected to be reclassified into Revenues within the next 12 months. |

Income Taxes | |
Income Taxes | 14. Income Taxes The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, in addition to discrete items. The Company’s effective tax rates on pre-tax income were 12.4% and 16.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 13.5% and 17.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior periods was primarily due to higher prior period domestic pre-tax income due to the sales of the Speedpay and Paymap businesses, partially offset by increased discrete expenses in the current period. The Company derives its pre-tax income from both foreign and domestic sources. Certain portions of the Company’s foreign source income are subject to United States federal and state income tax as earned due to the nature of the income. Uncertain Tax Positions The Company has established contingency reserves for a variety of material, known tax exposures. The Company’s tax reserves reflect management’s judgment as to the resolution of the issues involved if subject to judicial review or other settlement. While the Company believes its reserves are adequate to cover reasonably expected tax risks, there can be no assurance that, in all instances, an issue raised by a tax authority will be resolved at a financial cost that does not exceed its related reserve. With respect to these reserves, the Company’s income tax expense would include (i) any changes in tax reserves arising from material changes during the period in the facts and circumstances (i.e. new information) surrounding a tax issue and (ii) any difference from the Company’s tax position as recorded in the financial statements and the final resolution of a tax issue during the period. Such resolution could materially increase or decrease income tax expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future periods and could impact operating cash flows. Unrecognized tax benefits represent the aggregate tax effect of differences between tax return positions and the amounts otherwise recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are reflected in Income taxes payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $294.4 million and $293.9 million, respectively, excluding interest and penalties. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $283.9 million and $283.4 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, excluding interest and penalties. The Company recognizes interest and penalties with respect to unrecognized tax benefits in Provision for income taxes in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and records the associated liability in Income taxes payable in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognized $0.8 million and $1.2 million of interest and penalties during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1.5 million and $4.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company has accrued $28.6 million and $27.1 million for the payment of interest and penalties as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company and its subsidiaries file tax returns for the United States, for multiple states and localities, and for various non-United States jurisdictions, and the Company has identified the United States as its major tax jurisdiction, as the income tax imposed by any one foreign country is not material to the Company. The Company’s United States federal income tax returns since 2017 are eligible to be examined. The Internal Revenue Service commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S. consolidated income tax returns for 2017 and 2018 in the current quarter. The anticipated completion date of the examination cannot be estimated at this time. |

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $32.0 million and $35.0 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company granted 0.5 million options at a weighted-average exercise price of $26.20 and 2.5 million performance-based restricted stock units and restricted stock units at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $25.87. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had 4.9 million outstanding options at a weighted-average exercise price of $19.13, of which 3.8 million options were exercisable at a weighted-average exercise price of $18.40. The Company had 6.9 million outstanding performance-based restricted stock units (based on target performance) and restricted stock units at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $20.86 as of September 30, 2020. |

Segments | 16. Segments As described in Note 1, the Company classifies its business into two segments: Consumer-to-Consumer and Business Solutions. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities, about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s CODM in allocating resources and assessing performance. The Consumer-to-Consumer operating segment facilitates money transfers between two consumers. The Company’s multi-currency money transfer service is provided through one interconnected global network where a money transfer can be sent from one location to another around the world. The segment includes five geographic regions whose functions are primarily related to generating, managing, and maintaining agent relationships and localized marketing activities. The Company includes Digital Money Transfer transactions in its regions, including transactions from the Company’s arrangements with financial institutions and other third parties to enable such entities to offer money transfer services to their own customers under their brands. By means of common processes and systems, these regions, including Digital Money Transfer transactions, create an interconnected network for consumer transactions, thereby constituting one global Consumer-to-Consumer money transfer business and one operating segment. The Business Solutions operating segment facilitates payment and foreign exchange solutions, primarily cross-border, cross-currency transactions, for small and medium size enterprises, and other organizations and individuals. All businesses and other services that have not been classified in the above segments are reported as Other, which primarily includes the Company’s cash-based and electronic-based bill payment services which facilitate payments from consumers to businesses and other organizations and the Company’s money order services. In May 2019, the Company sold a substantial majority of its United States based electronic bill payments services, as discussed in Note 4. Corporate costs, including stock-based compensation and other overhead, are allocated to the segments primarily based on a percentage of the segments’ revenue compared to total revenue. The following table presents the Company’s reportable segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (in millions):

Business and Basis of Presentation (Policies) |
9 Months Ended |

Sep. 30, 2020 | |
Business and Basis of Presentation | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In compliance with those instructions, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts were eliminated as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for all periods presented. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all the normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows as of September 30, 2020 and for all periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Consistent with industry practice, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are unclassified due to the short-term nature of the Company’s settlement obligations contrasted with the Company’s ability to invest cash awaiting settlement in long-term investment securities. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak associated with a novel coronavirus a pandemic (“COVID-19”), and governments throughout the world instituted various actions such as lockdowns, stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions, and closures of non-essential businesses in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19. These actions negatively impacted the Company’s ability to offer its services, at least temporarily, through a portion of its locations and its retail agent locations during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Beginning in March 2020 and continuing into the second and third quarters of 2020, the Company experienced a decrease in transaction volumes from retail locations and a decrease in foreign exchange and payment services activity, which also negatively impacted revenues in these periods, partially offset by revenue growth from westernunion.com and other digital transactions. The Company believes this decrease is mainly due to economic decline and uncertainty resulting from the outbreak. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak continues to impact the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict. To the extent the pandemic or the related macro-economic consequences continue, the Company could potentially experience changes in estimates, including increased credit losses or intangible asset impairments in future periods. |
New Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted a new accounting standard that requires entities to measure expected credit losses for certain financial assets held at the reporting date using a current expected credit loss model, which is based on historical experience, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Additionally, the standard requires certain credit losses relating to investment securities classified as available-for-sale to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of the new accounting standard as an adjustment to the January 1, 2020 balance of Accumulated deficit in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the adoption of the new accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s January 1, 2020 accumulated deficit. In accordance with the approach, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under accounting standards in effect for those periods. Refer to Note 10 for additional information on expected credit losses and the related disclosures. |
Revenue Recognition | The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from consideration paid by customers to transfer money. These revenues vary by transaction based upon factors such as channel, send and receive locations, the principal amount sent, whether the money transfer involves different send and receive currencies, the difference between the exchange rate set by the Company to the customer and the rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market, and speed of service, as applicable. The Company also offers several other services, including foreign exchange and payment services and other bill payment services, for which revenue is impacted by similar factors. For the substantial majority of the Company’s revenues, the Company acts as the principal in transactions and reports revenue on a gross basis, as the Company controls the service at all times prior to transfer to the customer, is primarily responsible for fulfilling the customer contracts, has the risk of loss, and has the ability to establish transaction prices. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. |
Earnings Per Share | The calculation of basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Outstanding options to purchase Western Union stock and unvested shares of restricted stock are excluded from basic shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options at the presented dates are exercised and shares of restricted stock have vested, using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes proceeds from the exercise price of stock options and the unamortized compensation expense of options and restricted stock are available to acquire shares at an average market price throughout the period, and therefore, reduce the dilutive effect. |
Leases | The Company leases real properties for use as administrative and sales offices, in addition to transportation, office, and other equipment. The Company determines if a contract contains a lease arrangement at the inception of the contract. For leases in which the Company is the lessee, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are initially measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term plus initial direct costs, if any. If a lease does not provide a discount rate and the rate cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is used to determine the future lease payments. Lease and variable non-lease components within the Company’s lease agreements are accounted for separately. The Company has no material leases in which the Company is the lessor. |
Investment Securities | Investment securities included in Settlement assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consist primarily of highly-rated state and municipal debt securities, including fixed-rate term notes and variable-rate demand notes. Variable-rate demand note securities can be put (sold at par) typically on a daily basis with settlement periods ranging from the same day to one week but have varying maturities through 2057. These securities may be used by the Company for short-term liquidity needs and held for short periods of time. Investment securities are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates and credit risk. The Company is required to hold highly-rated, investment grade securities and such investments are restricted to satisfy outstanding settlement obligations in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. The Company’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. Western Union regularly monitors credit risk and attempts to mitigate its exposure by investing in highly-rated securities and through investment diversification. Unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred taxes. Available-for-sale securities with a fair value below the amortized cost basis are evaluated on an individual basis to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Factors that could indicate a credit loss exists include but are not limited to: (i) negative earnings performance, (ii) credit rating downgrades, or (iii) adverse changes in the regulatory or economic environment of the asset. Any impairment that is not credit-related is excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred taxes, unless the Company intends to sell the impaired security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovering its amortized cost basis. Credit-related impairments are recognized immediately as an adjustment to earnings, regardless of whether the Company has the ability or intent to hold the security to maturity, and are limited to the difference between fair value and the amortized cost basis. As of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s allowance for credit losses and provision for credit losses on its available-for-sale securities were immaterial. |
Foreign Currency - Derivatives | Foreign Currency Derivatives The Company’s policy is to use longer duration foreign currency forward contracts, with maturities of up to 36 months at inception and a targeted weighted-average maturity of approximately one year, to help mitigate some of the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the United States dollar could have on forecasted revenues denominated in other currencies related to its business. As of September 30, 2020, these foreign currency forward contracts had maturities of a maximum of 24 months with a weighted-average maturity of approximately one year. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges of forecasted revenue, with effectiveness assessed based on changes in the spot rate of the affected currencies during the period of designation and thus time value is excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. The initial value of the excluded components is amortized into Revenues within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company also uses short duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities ranging from a to one month, to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on settlement assets and obligations between initiation and settlement. In addition, forward contracts, typically with maturities of less than one year at inception, are utilized tooffset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated cash and other asset and liability positions. None of these contracts are designated as accounting hedges. |
Foreign Currency - Business Solutions | Business Solutions Operations The Company writes derivatives, primarily foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts, mostly with small and medium size enterprises and derives a currency spread from this activity as part of its Business Solutions operations. The Company aggregates its Business Solutions foreign currency exposures arising from customer contracts, including the derivative contracts described above, and hedges the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties (economic hedge contracts). The derivatives written are part of the broader portfolio of foreign currency positions arising from the Company’s cross-currency payments operations, which primarily include spot exchanges of currency in addition to forwards and options. Foreign exchange revenues from the total portfolio of positions were $76.9 million and $88.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $234.4 million and $257.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. None of the derivative contracts used in Business Solutions operations are designated as accounting hedges and the majority of these derivative contracts have a duration at inception of less than one year. |
Interest Rate Hedging | Interest Rate Hedging From time to time, the Company utilizes interest rate swaps to effectively change the interest rate payments on a portion of its notes from fixed-rate payments to short-term, variable rate payments in order to manage its overall exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company designates these derivatives as fair value hedges. The change in fair value of the interest rate swaps is offset by a change in the carrying value of the debt being hedged within Borrowings in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income has been adjusted to include the effects of interest accrued on the swaps. |
