(a)

Other primarily consists of the Company’s electronic-based and cash-based bill payment services which facilitate payments from consumers to businesses and other organizations. In May 2019, the Company sold a substantial majority of its United States based electronic bill payments services, as discussed in Note 4. Speedpay revenues and direct operating expenses included in the Company’s results were $88.2 million and $67.6 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Paymap revenues and direct operating expenses included in the Company’s results were $3.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

(b)

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company changed its expense allocation method so that its corporate data center and network engineering information technology expenses are allocated based on a percentage of relative revenue. In 2019, these costs had been allocated based in part on a percentage of relative transactions. The Company believes that an allocation method based fully on relative revenue presents a more representative view of segment profitability, as certain of the Company’s services, particularly some of its bill payment services and its money order services, have much lower revenues per transaction than the Company’s other services. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, this change would have decreased Consumer-to-Consumer operating income and increased Other operating income by $13.1 million. Business Solutions was not materially impacted by the change in the allocation method.
