WU -.30 to 9.03, the conf call was rather positive and cited some one timers behind the Q1 short fall -

"We expect Q2 EPS to be similar to last year and then to accelerate as we move into the back half of the year" driven by "new agent wins" and "a seasonally stronger period for Travel Money" plus "the Intermex synergies and lower vendor and labor costs." (Executive VP & CFO Cagwin)

"Adjusted operating margin was 13%" and the CFO said Q1 pressure reflected "a lack of vendor incentive payments" and "higher costs associated with our new agent signings, a foreign currency loss and the seasonal dynamics associated with our travel money business."
