Quarterly Results
The following additional details are provided to aid in understanding Paysign's second quarter 2023 results versus the year-ago period:
- Total revenues increased
28% , or$2.4 million . The increase was attributable to the following factors:- Plasma revenue increased
$2.2 million , or28% , primarily due to an increase in plasma locations, plasma donations and dollars loaded to cards with average monthly revenue per center up13% to$7,587. - Pharma revenue decreased
$44 thousand , or down6% , primarily due to pharma prepaid contracts ending in mid-November 2022, offset by the growth and launch of new pharma patient affordability programs. Pharma patient affordability revenue increased$416 thousand , or133% , to$729 thousand . - Other revenue increased by
$278 thousand , or1444% , primarily due to the launch of a new payroll program in the second half of 2022 and other new prepaid disbursement programs.
- Plasma revenue increased
- Cost of revenues increased
39% , or$1.5 million . Cost of revenues is comprised of transaction processing fees, data connectivity, data center expenses, network fees, bank fees, card production costs, postage costs, customer service, program management, application integration setup and sales and commission expense. The year-over-year increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to an increase in cardholder usage activity and associated network expenses such as interchange and ATM costs, an increase in plastics and collateral related to an increase in the number of unique card loads, an increase in network expenses and sales commissions related to the growth in our pharma patient affordability business, a new direct network connection with Mastercard and an increase in customer service expenses associated with wage inflation pressures and the overall growth in our business, offset by a decline in postage. - Gross profit increased by
$918 thousand , or20% , primarily due to increased plasma and pharma patient affordability revenue, offset by a decline in pharma prepaid revenue. Our gross profit margin decreased to50.9% versus54.6% for the same period in the prior year primarily due to the decline in our pharma prepaid business, increased third-party transaction processing and network costs, a new direct network connection with Mastercard and increased customer service costs. - Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
$1.1 million , or25% , and consisted primarily of increases in (i) compensation and benefits of approximately$690 thousand due to continued hiring to support the company's growth, a tight labor market and increased employee benefit costs, (ii) non-IT outside professional services of approximately$235 thousand , and (iii) stock-based compensation of approximately$340 thousand . This was offset by a$210 thousand increase in the amount of capitalized software development costs and a decrease in all other operating expenses of$8 thousand . We exited the quarter with 108 employees versus 90 employees during the same period last year. - Depreciation and amortization increased by
$245 thousand , or34% , due to the continued capitalization of new software development costs and equipment purchases related to the enhancement to our processing platform. - Other income increased by
$531 thousand primarily related to an increase in interest income resulting from higher cash balances and rising interest rates. - We recorded an income tax provision of
$58 thousand due to the full valuation on our deferred tax asset in both the current and prior period and the tax benefit related to our stock-based compensation and pretax loss in the prior year periods. - Net loss of
$104 thousand , or ($0.00) per diluted share, improved by$124 thousand compared to net loss of$228 thousand , or ($0.00) per diluted share, during the same period last year as well as a sequential improvement from the first quarter of 2023. The overall change in net income relates to the factors mentioned above. - "EBITDA," defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, which is a non-GAAP metric, decreased by
$131 thousand , or down30% , to$311 thousand due to the factors mentioned above, but was up sequentially from$102 thousand in the first quarter of this year. - "Adjusted EBITDA," which reflects the adjustment to EBITDA to exclude stock-based compensation charges, and which is a non-GAAP metric used by management to gauge the operating performance of the business, increased by
$211 thousand , or23% , to$1.1 million , or$0.02 per diluted share, due to the factors mentioned above, and was up$400 thousand sequentially from the first quarter of this year.
Second Quarter 2023 Milestones

Paysign, Inc. Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement Paysign's financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP measures that exclude from net income (loss) the following cash and non-cash items: interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. We believe these non-GAAP measures used by management to gauge the operating performance of the business help investors better evaluate our past financial performance and potential future results. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP accounting, and investors should read them in conjunction with the company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures we use may be different from, and not directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
"EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. "Adjusted EBITDA" reflects the adjustment to EBITDA to exclude stock-based compensation charges.
Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows from operations, operating income (loss) or net income (loss) as defined by U.S. GAAP as indicators of operating performances. Management cautions that amounts presented in accordance with Paysign's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.
