Insights

Financial Analyst

REPAY's Q2 2024 results show positive momentum with 7% year-over-year gross profit growth and 10% Adjusted EBITDA growth. The company's diversified business model, spanning Consumer and Business Payments, is driving sustainable growth. Key highlights include:

• Revenue increased 4% to $74.9 million
• Gross profit margin expanded to 78% from 77% last year
• Free Cash Flow grew significantly by 93% to $19.3 million

The recent $287.5 million convertible note issuance and credit facility expansion to $250 million strengthen REPAY's balance sheet, providing flexibility for growth initiatives. However, investors should monitor the impact of increased debt on future interest expenses.

Market Research Analyst

REPAY's strategic focus on vertically-integrated payment solutions is yielding results. The company's expansion in key areas demonstrates market penetration:

• AP supplier network grew 55% year-over-year to over 300,000
• Added 7 new integrated software partners, totaling 273
• Instant funding volumes increased 21% year-over-year
• Credit union clients reached 300, adding 9 new ones

These metrics indicate REPAY is successfully scaling its ecosystem and capturing more payment flows. The diversification across Consumer and Business Payments segments provides resilience, with Business Payments showing stronger growth at 11% in gross profit.

Tech Expert

REPAY's technological infrastructure is driving its competitive edge in the payments industry. The company's proprietary RCS (clearing and settlement) platform enables customizable payment processing programs, fostering partnerships with ISOs and payment facilitators. This tech-driven approach is evident in their expanding integrated software partnerships and growing AP supplier network.

The 21% growth in instant funding volumes highlights the increasing demand for real-time payment solutions. REPAY's ability to offer a comprehensive suite of payment options (debit, credit, ACH, virtual cards) across various verticals positions them well in the evolving fintech landscape. However, continuous innovation will be important to maintain this technological advantage in a rapidly changing industry.

July Balance Sheet Update

On July 8, 2024, REPAY issued $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. $27.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes were sold in connection with the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase such additional 2029 Notes offering pursuant to the purchase agreement. The 2029 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.875% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2025. The 2029 Notes will mature on July 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms.

On July 8, 2024, in connection with the issuance of the 2029 Notes, REPAY (i) used approximately $200.0 million of net proceeds and approximately $5.1 million of cash on hand to repurchase $220.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, (ii) used approximately $40.0 million of the net proceeds to repurchase approximately 3.9 million shares of common stock, and (iii) used approximately $39.2 million of net proceeds to fund the costs for privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions covering the number of shares of common stock underlying the 2029 Notes. The capped call had an initial strike price of $13.02 per share and an initial cap price of $20.42 per share.

On July 10, 2024, REPAY entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement with certain financial institutions, as lenders, and Truist Bank, as administrative agent. The Second Amended Credit Agreement establishes a $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility and amends and restates the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of February 3, 2021, which previously provided for a $185.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility.

2024 Outlook

“Our first half results demonstrate our continued success in achieving double-digit Adjusted EBITDA growth and accelerating Free Cash Flow Conversion,” said Tim Murphy, CFO of REPAY. “As we move into the second half of the year, we are reaffirming our 2024 outlook. Our focus on profitable growth and reducing overall capex spending, gives us the confidence to accelerate our Free Cash Flow Conversion during 2024.”

REPAY reiterates its previously provided outlook for full year 2024, as shown below.

	Full Year 2024 Outlook
Revenue	$314 - 320 million
Gross Profit	$245 - 250 million
Adjusted EBITDA	$139 - 142 million
Free Cash Flow Conversion	~ 60%

REPAY does not provide quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking, non-GAAP financial measures, such as forecasted 2024 Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow Conversion, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because it is difficult to reliably predict or estimate the relevant components without unreasonable effort due to future uncertainties that may potentially have a significant impact on such calculations, and providing them may imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or potentially misleading.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to evaluate the Company’s operating business, measure performance, and make strategic decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income prior to interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to add back certain charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as loss on business disposition, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities, share-based compensation charges, transaction expenses, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs and other non-recurring charges. Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income prior to amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, as adjusted to add back certain charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses, loss on business disposition, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as loss on business disposition, non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities, share-based compensation expense, transaction expenses, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs, other non-recurring charges, non-cash interest expense and net of tax effect associated with these adjustments. Adjusted Net Income is adjusted to exclude amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Management believes that the adjustment of acquisition-related intangible amortization supplements GAAP financial measures because it allows for greater comparability of operating performance. Although REPAY excludes amortization from acquisition-related intangibles from its non-GAAP expenses, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangibles were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. Adjusted Net Income per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of the outstanding units exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (excluding shares subject to forfeiture). Organic gross profit growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents year-on-year gross profit growth that excludes incremental gross profit attributable to acquisitions and divestitures made in the applicable prior period or any subsequent period. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net cash flow provided by operating activities less total capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow Conversion represents Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA. REPAY believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share, organic gross profit growth, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Conversion provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as management. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating profit, net cash provided by operating activities, or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Using these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze REPAY’s business has material limitations because the calculations are based on the subjective determination of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find significant. In addition, although other companies in REPAY’s industry may report measures titled as the same or similar measures, such non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from how REPAY calculates its non-GAAP financial measures, which reduces their overall usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, you should consider REPAY’s non-GAAP financial measures alongside other financial performance measures, including net income, net cash provided by operating activities and REPAY’s other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

(1)	Adjusted Net Income is adjusted to exclude amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions (see corresponding adjustments in the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted Net Income presented above). Management believes that the adjustment of acquisition-related intangible amortization supplements GAAP financial measures because it allows for greater comparability of operating performance. Although REPAY excludes amortization from acquisition-related intangibles from its non-GAAP expenses, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangibles were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangibles that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangibles have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangibles.
(j)	Represents amortization of non-cash deferred debt issuance costs.
(k)	Represents pro forma income tax adjustment effect associated with items adjusted above.
(l)	Represents the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of outstanding Post-Merger Repay Units) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. These numbers do not include any shares issuable upon conversion of the Company’s convertible senior notes due 2026. See the reconciliation of basic weighted average shares outstanding to the non-GAAP Class A common stock outstanding on an as-converted basis for each respective period below:
