Actual results could differ from these estimates.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">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 year ended December 31, 2020. Beginning in March 2020 and continuing throughout the remainder of the year, 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 and transaction growth from Digital Money Transfer services. The Company believes this decrease is mainly due to economic decline and uncertainty resulting from the pandemic. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic 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.</p>
