Insights
Priority Technology Holdings, Inc.'s announcement of strong fourth quarter and full year 2023 financial results indicates a robust performance, particularly noting a 12.2% and 13.9% increase in revenue for the respective periods. The significant rise in adjusted gross profit by 19.5% and 21.3%, alongside an increase in adjusted EBITDA by 12.2% and 20.0%, reflects operational efficiency and a successful strategy in diversifying revenue streams. The adjusted gross profit margin expansion by 230 and 220 basis points for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, suggests improved profitability and cost management.
From a financial perspective, these results might be seen as a positive signal to investors and could potentially influence the stock's performance in the market. The company's guidance for the full year 2024, projecting further revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth, suggests confidence in sustained momentum. However, it's important to consider market conditions and competitive dynamics that could impact these projections. Investors should also be aware of the non-GAAP financial measures used, which exclude certain expenses that are factored into GAAP figures, potentially presenting a more favorable financial position than standard accounting measures.
The reported growth across multiple business segments, such as SMB acquiring, B2B payables and Enterprise payments, suggests that Priority Technology Holdings is effectively capitalizing on the trend towards integrated payment solutions. The acquisition of Plastiq is a strategic move that could enhance their unified commerce platform, potentially creating additional value for customers and shareholders alike. This diversification and expansion are likely to position the company favorably within the competitive payment processing industry.
Understanding the market's direction, the emphasis on unified commerce platforms aligns with the industry's push towards digital transformation, where businesses seek to streamline operations and improve customer experiences. The positive financial outcomes may reflect the successful adoption of Priority's offerings in the market, which could lead to increased market share and customer loyalty. The company's performance must be monitored in relation to industry peers and broader economic indicators to gauge the sustainability of this growth.
The communication by Priority Technology Holdings includes non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin and adjusted EBITDA. While these measures provide valuable insights into the company's operational performance, they are not standardized under GAAP. It is crucial for stakeholders to understand the adjustments made and the reasons why these non-GAAP measures may offer a different perspective than GAAP figures.
Regulatory bodies like the SEC keep a close watch on the use of non-GAAP measures to ensure they are not misleading. Companies must provide reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP figures, which Priority has done. However, the forward-looking statements regarding financial guidance do not include a GAAP reconciliation, citing the difficulty of predicting necessary reconciling items. Stakeholders should approach these projections with caution, understanding the inherent uncertainties in such forecasts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This communication includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that we regularly review to evaluate our business and trends, measure our performance, prepare financial projections, allocate resources, and make strategic decisions. We believe these non-GAAP measures help to illustrate the underlying financial and business trends relating to our results of operations and comparability between current and prior periods. We also use these non-GAAP measures to establish and monitor operational goals. However, these non-GAAP measures are not superior to or a substitute for prominent measurements calculated in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the non-GAAP measures are meant to be a complement to understanding measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin
The Company's adjusted gross profit metric represents revenues less cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization). Adjusted gross profit margin is adjusted gross profit divided by revenues. We review these non-GAAP measures to evaluate our underlying profit trends. The reconciliation of adjusted gross profit to its most comparable GAAP measure is provided below:

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are performance measures. EBITDA is earnings before interest, income tax, and depreciation and amortization expenses ("EBITDA"). Adjusted EBITDA begins with EBITDA but further excludes certain non-cash costs, such as stock-based compensation and the write-off of the carrying value of investments or other assets, as well as debt extinguishment and modification expenses and other expenses and income items considered non-recurring, such as acquisition integration expenses, certain professional fees, and litigation settlements. We review the non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA measure to evaluate our business and trends, measure our performance, prepare financial projections, allocate resources, and make strategic decisions.

Priority does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures because it could not do so without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of the information needed to calculate reconciling items and due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures in future periods. When planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, the Company does so primarily on a non-GAAP basis without preparing a GAAP analysis as that would require estimates for various cash and non-cash reconciling items that would be difficult to predict with reasonable accuracy. For example, stock-based compensation expense would be difficult to estimate because it depends on the Company's future hiring and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of the Company's common stock, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to constant change. As a result, the Company does not believe that a GAAP reconciliation would provide meaningful supplemental information about the Company's outlook.
