“Payoneer delivered another strong quarter, with record revenue excluding interest income up 16% year-over-year and robust growth across our SMB customers. Our performance reflects the strength of our business model and our disciplined execution. Our global customers continue to adapt and innovate in a rapidly evolving global trade environment and they’re choosing Payoneer as their global financial partner. With a strong market position, differentiated assets, and a clear focus, we are confident in our strategy and are reinstating our 2025 guidance.” John Caplan, Chief Executive Officer

Second Quarter 2025 Business Highlights (unless noted otherwise)

• Revenue excluding interest income grew 16% year-over-year, driven by 11% volume growth and significant take rate expansion with SMB customers.
• ARPU excluding interest income grew 21% year-over-year, representing the fourth consecutive quarter of 20%+ growth, driven by continued strength among $10K+ ICPs, growth in higher take rate B2B, Checkout and Card franchises, and various pricing initiatives.
• SMB customer revenue of $183 million grew 18% year-over-year, reflecting:
  • SMBs that sell on marketplaces revenue of $116 million, up 8% year-over-year.
  • B2B SMBs revenue of $58 million, up 37% year-over-year.
  • Checkout revenue of $9 million, up 86% year-over-year.
• Partnering with Stripe to expand Checkout offering, combining their best-in-class technology with Payoneer’s local market expertise and comprehensive financial stack, to deliver enhanced capabilities for customers.
• Record $1.5 billion of spend on Payoneer cards, up 25% year-over-year, driven by higher usage per customer. Additionally, in July Payoneer renewed its long-term agreement with Mastercard to support its multi-currency card offerings for customers with cross-border AP needs.
• $7.0 billion of customer funds (including both short-term and long-term funds) as of June 30, 2025, up 17% year-over-year.
• Accelerated share repurchases to $33 million at a weighted average price of $6.80, nearly double the amount repurchased in the prior quarter.

2025 Outlook

“Payoneer’s second quarter results reflect focused execution and momentum behind our long-term strategy. We once again achieved our medium-term financial targets and are reinstating our 2025 guidance. At the midpoint, we expect 2025 revenue of $1.05 billion and adjusted EBITDA1 of $268 million — demonstrating increasing leverage in our business model and sustained profitability excluding interest income. We expect revenue excluding interest income to be between $815 million and $835 million, consistent with our February outlook at the high end. We’re continuing to invest in our moat: expanding our financial stack, accelerating the speed and reliability of our money movement infrastructure, and scaling with discipline. With mid-teens growth, a strong balance sheet, and expanding customer relationships, we’re confident in our long-term opportunity and are announcing an increase to our share repurchase authorization to $300 million.” Bea Ordonez, Chief Financial Officer

2025 guidance is as follows:
		Revenue	$1,040 million - $1,060 million
		Transaction costs	~16.5% of revenue
		Adjusted EBITDA1	$260 million to $275 million
1. The Company cannot reconcile its expected adjusted EBITDA to expected net income under “2025 Guidance” without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net income and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, including income taxes and other financial (income) expense, net. Such unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s GAAP financial results. Please refer to “Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a description of the calculation of adjusted EBITDA.

Payoneer Board of Directors authorizes increased $300 million share repurchase program

On July 30, 2025, Payoneer’s Board of Directors authorized an amendment to its existing share repurchase program to increase the authorized amount of repurchases to up to $300 million of the company’s outstanding common stock. The $300 million authorization, effective August 6, 2025, amends the previous repurchase authorization from December 2023, and includes the amount that remains available to repurchase common stock under, but not any prior repurchases effected pursuant to, the previous authorization and any applicable excise tax. Share repurchases may take place from time to time, in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or other means including in accordance with Rule 10b-18 and/or Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The timing and total amount of repurchases is subject to business and market conditions and the company’s discretion. The share repurchase program will run through December 31, 2027, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate the company to acquire any amount of common stock.

Webcast

Payoneer will host a live webcast of its earnings on a conference call with the investment community beginning at 8:30 a.m. ET today, August 6, 2025. To access the webcast, go to the investor relations section of the Company’s website at https://investor.payoneer.com.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes, and oral statements made from time to time by representatives of Payoneer, may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Payoneer’s future financial or operating performance. For example, projections of future revenue, transaction cost and adjusted EBITDA are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Payoneer and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (2) the possibility that Payoneer may be adversely affected by geopolitical events and conflicts, such as Israel’s ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, and other economic, business and/or competitive factors, such as changes in global trade policies (including the imposition of tariffs); (3) changes in the assumptions underlying our financial estimates; (4) the outcome of any known and/or unknown legal or regulatory proceedings; and (5) other risks and uncertainties set forth in Payoneer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024 and future reports that Payoneer may file with the SEC from time to time. Nothing in this press release should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Payoneer does not undertake any duty to update these forward-looking statements.

Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as adjusted EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Payoneer uses these non-GAAP measures to compare Payoneer’s performance to that of prior periods for budgeting and planning purposes. Payoneer believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Payoneer’s results of operations. Payoneer's method of determining these non-GAAP measures may be different from other companies' methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies and Payoneer does not recommend the sole use of these non-GAAP measures to assess its financial performance. Payoneer management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Payoneer’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. You should review Payoneer’s financial statements, which are included in Payoneer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and its subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Payoneer’s business.

Non-GAAP measures include the following item:

Adjusted EBITDA: We provide adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that represents our net income (loss) adjusted to exclude, as applicable: M&A related expense (income), stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring charges, share in losses (gain) of associated company, loss (gain) from change in fair value of warrants and warrant repurchase/redemption, other financial expense (income), net, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.

Other companies may calculate the above measure differently, and therefore Payoneer’s measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

In addition, in this earnings release, we reference volume, which is an operational metric. Volume refers to the total dollar value of transactions successfully completed or enabled by our platform, not including orchestration transactions. For a customer that both receives and later sends payments, we count the volume only once. We also reference ARPU (Average Revenue Per User), which is defined as the Revenue from Active Customers divided by the number of Active Customers over the period in which the Revenue was earned. Active Customers for these purposes are defined as Payoneer accountholders with at least 1 financial transaction over the period. Revenue from Active Customers represents revenue attributed to Active Customers based on their use of the Payoneer platform, including interest income earned from their balances, and excluding revenues unrelated to their activities.
