Total revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was $384.3 million, an increase of 13%, compared to $341.0 million in the prior year. Growth was partially offset by an $8.8 million impact of a business divestiture (Pay Later) in October 2020. Excluding Pay Later, revenue increased 16%. Revenue performance compared to the prior year also reflects the impact of actions taken to improve the Company’s overall risk/reward profile in certain markets and channels, specifically related to the exit of certain clients in the direct marketing vertical, which had an unfavorable impact on growth.

Excluding the divested business and the direct marketing vertical, growth from all other revenue was approximately 23% compared to the prior year, reflecting growth from all three segments. In eCash Solutions, growth was supported by extended COVID-19 lockdowns in Europe and an associated increase in online consumer spending. In Integrated Processing, growth was driven by the U.S. acquiring business, which continued to benefit from the macroeconomic recovery, as well as growth across integrated eCommerce, including iGaming and other specialized eCommerce verticals. Digital Wallet growth was driven by favorable foreign currency movement, a higher level of sporting events as well as crypto and trading activity, partially offset by the impact of targeted actions and country exits that occurred in 2020.

Net income attributable to the Company for the second quarter was $6.6 million, compared to a loss of $15.9 million in the prior year. Results included a fair value gain on the measurement of the warrant liability at period-end. This increase was partially offset by a $20.1 million increase in interest expense, reflecting the expense of capitalized debt fees as a result of debt repayment, as well as the impact of income tax expense of $16.7 million in the second quarter compared with an income tax benefit of $2.7 million in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $118.8 million, an increase of 8%, compared to $110.4 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 150 basis points to 30.9%, reflecting business mix, including the headwind from the high margin direct marketing vertical, as described above. These impacts were partially offset by strong cost optimization. Additionally, the prior year margin benefited from temporary cost reductions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Second quarter net cash from operating activities was negative $7.7 million, compared to positive $123.5 million in the prior year. Free cash flow was $54.6 million, compared to $96.2 million in the prior year.

Refinancing

In the second quarter Paysafe refinanced its existing senior secured loan facility totaling $2.1 billion with a combination of a new $1.1 billion senior secured loan facility and $0.9 billion of senior secured notes, as well as increased its revolving credit facility from $225 million to $305 million. The refinancing extended the Company’s maturity profile, lowered its borrowing rate and improved Paysafe’s financial flexibility.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. This includes Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization), Gross Profit Margin (excluding depreciation and amortization), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Free cash flow and Free cash flow conversion, which are supplemental measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization) is defined as revenue less cost of services (excluding depreciation and amortization). Gross Profit Margin (excluding depreciation and amortization) is defined as Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization) as a percentage of revenue. Management believes Gross Profit to be a useful profitability measure to assess the performance of our businesses and ability to manage cost.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income/(loss) before the impact of income tax (benefit)/expense, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, impairment expense on intangible assets, restructuring and other costs, loss/(gain) on disposal of a subsidiaries and other assets, net, and other income/(expense), net. These adjustments also include certain costs and transaction items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Revenue. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA to be a useful profitability measure to assess the performance of our businesses and improves the comparability of operating results across reporting periods.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows provided by/used in operating activities, adjusted for the impact of capital expenditure, payments relating to restructuring and other costs, cash paid for interest and movements in customer accounts and other restricted cash. Capital expenditure includes purchases of property plant & equipment and purchases of other intangible assets, including software development costs. Capital expenditure does not include purchases of merchant portfolios. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information about the amount of cash generated by the business.

Management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, including Gross Profit, Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, when considered together with the Company’s results presented in accordance with GAAP, provide users with useful supplemental information in comparing the operating results across reporting periods by excluding items that are not considered indicative of Paysafe’s core operating performance. In addition, management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information in assessing the Company’s results on a basis that fosters comparability across periods by excluding the impact on the Company’s reported GAAP results of acquisitions and dispositions that have occurred in such periods. However, these non-GAAP measures exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Paysafe’s financial results or position. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to revenue, net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP.

You should be aware that Paysafe’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. In addition, the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Gross Profit provided herein have not been reconciled to comparable GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. We have reconciled the historical non-GAAP financial measures presented herein to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of our forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the adjusting items necessary for such reconciliations that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
