Insights

Financial Analyst

Paysafe's Q2 2024 results show positive momentum with revenue growth of 9% to $439.9 million, driven by strong performance across all major product lines. The company's strategic initiatives are paying off, particularly in Merchant Solutions where revenue increased by 13%.

The reduction in net loss from $1.8 million to $1.4 million and the increase in adjusted EBITDA by 5% to $119.0 million indicate improved operational efficiency. The company's focus on portfolio optimization and expanding sales capabilities is yielding results, as evidenced by the growth in e-commerce and SMB segments.

Notably, Paysafe has raised its full-year revenue outlook, projecting growth of 7% to 8%, up 125 basis points from the original guidance. This upward revision, coupled with the decrease in net leverage to 4.8x, suggests improving financial health and management's confidence in sustaining growth momentum.

Market Research Analyst

Paysafe's Q2 results reflect broader trends in the payments industry, particularly the shift towards digital transactions. The 7% increase in Total Payment Volume to $38.1 billion underscores the growing adoption of digital payment solutions.

The company's strategic focus on iGaming is paying dividends, benefiting from new partnerships and the legalization of online gambling in additional U.S. states. This positions Paysafe well in a rapidly expanding market segment. The partnership with Riot Games also demonstrates Paysafe's ability to tap into the lucrative gaming market, potentially opening up new revenue streams.

However, investors should note the slight decrease in adjusted EBITDA guidance for the full year, which could indicate some pressure on margins as the company invests in growth initiatives. The ongoing portfolio rationalization to reduce risk and improve earnings quality is a prudent move in the current economic climate, potentially setting the stage for more sustainable long-term growth.

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $439.9 million, an increase of 9%, compared to $402.3 million in the prior year period, reflecting 7% growth in total payment volume. Excluding a $2.1 million unfavorable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates, total revenue increased 10%. Revenue from the Merchant Solutions segment increased 13%, reflecting double-digit growth in e-commerce as well as growth from small and medium-sized businesses ("SMBs") driven by initiatives to expand our sales capabilities and optimize the portfolio.

Net loss for the second quarter decreased to $1.4 million, compared to $1.8 million in the prior year period. This was largely due to increased operating income, mainly driven by higher revenues, and decreased tax expense, slightly offset by a reduction in other income.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $119.0 million, an increase of 5%, compared to $113.0 million in the prior year period. Excluding a $0.7 million unfavorable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates, Adjusted EBITDA increased 6%, primarily reflecting revenue growth, partially offset by incremental expenses related to previously announced initiatives to expand the sales team and optimize the portfolio.

Second quarter operating cash flow was $54.1 million, compared to $50.2 million in the prior year period, which was mainly driven by movements in working capital. Unlevered free cash flow was $70.0 million, compared to $76.2 million in the prior year period, driven by the timing of bonus payments.

(1)		During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company elected to change its presentation of the cash flows associated with "Settlement receivables, net" and "Funds payable and amounts due to customers" from operating activities, to present them as financing activities within its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Comparative amounts have been recast to conform to current period presentation. These recasts had no impact on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, Consolidated Statements of Financial Position or Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity.

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), Adjusted EBITDA, Unlevered free cash flow, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share, and Net leverage 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). 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 goodwill and 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. 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.

Adjusted net income excludes the impact of certain non-operational and non-cash items. Adjusted net income is defined as net income/(loss) attributable to the Company before the impact of other non-operating income / (expense), net, impairment expense on goodwill and intangible assets, restructuring and other costs, accelerated amortization of debt fees, amortization of acquired assets, loss/(gain) on disposal of subsidiaries and other assets, share-based compensation, discrete tax items and the income tax (benefit)/expense on these non-GAAP adjustments. Adjusted net income per share is adjusted net income as defined above divided by adjusted weighted average dilutive shares outstanding. Management believes the removal of certain non-operational and non-cash items from net income enhances shareholders ability to evaluate the Company’s business performance and profitability by improving comparability of operating results across reporting periods.

Unlevered 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 and cash paid for interest. 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. Management believes unlevered free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information about the amount of cash generated by the business.

Net leverage is defined as net debt (gross debt less cash and cash equivalents) divided by the last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes net leverage is a useful measure of the Company's credit position and progress towards leverage targets.

Management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, including Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Unlevered free cash flow, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share, and Net leverage 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 measure of Adjusted EBITDA provided herein have not been reconciled to the comparable GAAP measure 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.

(1)		During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company elected to change its presentation of "Settlement receivables, net" and "Funds payable and amounts due to customers" from operating activities, to present them as financing activities within its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As a result, the reconciling item related to "Movements in customer accounts and other restricted cash" is no longer required in the unlevered free cash flow reconciliation. Comparative amounts have been recast to conform to current period presentation.
