Insights

Financial Analyst

Priority Technology Holdings' Q4 and full-year 2024 results demonstrate exceptional financial performance across all key metrics. The 13.9% quarterly revenue increase to $227.1 million and 16.4% annual growth to $879.7 million reflect strong business momentum across all segments.

The most impressive metric is the dramatic improvement in profitability. Operating income surged 54.9% for Q4 and 63.7% for the full year, substantially outpacing revenue growth. This expanding margin profile indicates effective operational leverage and scaling of the business model. The 800% increase in quarterly adjusted EPS to $0.18 shows the company's ability to translate top-line growth into shareholder value.

Priority's voluntary $10 million term loan prepayment signals strong cash flow generation and prudent balance sheet management. The ability to reduce debt while maintaining growth distinguishes them from many fintech peers who struggle with profitability.

The 2025 guidance of $965 million to $1 billion in revenue represents healthy projected growth of 10-14%, suggesting management's confidence in continued business expansion. With the company processing over $130 billion in annual transactions while administrating approximately $1.2 billion in customer account balances, Priority has achieved meaningful scale that should continue driving operating efficiencies.

This performance demonstrates that Priority's integrated payments and banking-as-a-service platform is gaining traction with its 1.2 million customers across SMB, B2B, and Enterprise channels, validating their comprehensive approach to payment processing and financial tools.

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.

Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin

The Company's adjusted gross profit metric represents revenues less cost of services (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 expense, 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.

The reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to its most comparable GAAP measure is provided below:

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share (Adjusted EPS)

Adjusted EPS is a performance measure. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders by weighted average number shares outstanding for the respective periods.

Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders begins with Net income attributable to common shareholders adjusted to exclude various items listed below. We believe that adjusted EPS is a measure that is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing profitability and in analysis of ongoing profitability trends.

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.
