Western Union reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $1.0 billion, down 2% from the prior year, and GAAP earnings per share of $0.25, down from $0.43. Adjusted EPS was $0.42, down from $0.47, as lower revenue, a higher GAAP tax rate and $37.3 million of Beyond efficiency program costs weighed on results. The company also updated its full-year 2026 outlook, which assumes the pending Intermex acquisition closes on November 10, 2026, and the merger still awaits reinstatement of California regulatory approval.
