Positive
  • Q1 2024 revenue increased by 49% to $16.8 million.
  • RYVYL EU revenue surged by 185% to $7.1 million.
  • North American revenue grew by 10% to $9.7 million.
  • Q1 2024 processing volume increased by 4% from Q4 2023.
  • Net loss reduced to $2.7 million from $8.0 million in Q1 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA improved to $(0.7) million from $(3.0) million in Q1 2023.
  • Other expenses decreased to $0.6 million from $4.3 million in Q1 2023.
  • Cash and restricted cash stood at $88.8 million as of March 31, 2024.
Negative
  • Cost of revenue increased to $9.7 million from $6.2 million in Q1 2023.
  • Operating expenses rose by 2% to $8.9 million.
  • North America processing business volume decreased by 33% from Q4 2023.
  • Q2 2024 revenue is expected to be impacted by changes in the U.S. banking compliance environment.
  • Total comprehensive loss was $3.1 million, or ($0.45) per basic share.

RYVYL's financial results for Q1 2024 show a significant revenue increase of 49% compared to the same period last year, reaching $16.8 million. This revenue growth can be largely attributed to the impressive performance in the European market, where revenue grew by 185% to $7.1 million. However, it's important to note that the North American segment only saw a modest 10% increase, indicating potential challenges in this region.

On the operational side, the cost of revenue increased proportionately, mainly due to higher transaction volumes, bringing it to $9.7 million from $6.2 million in Q1 2023. While the operating expenses remained relatively stable with a minor increase of 2%, the company's net loss has substantially reduced from $8.0 million to $2.7 million. This improvement is a positive sign, yet the company remains unprofitable, which is a critical consideration for investors.

Another point to highlight is the reduction in other expenses from $4.3 million to $0.6 million, primarily due to debt reduction strategies. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA shows improvement, though it remains negative at -$0.7 million. The company repatriated $7.5 million from Europe to the U.S., which reflects proactive capital management.

From a market perspective, RYVYL's strong performance in the European market is noteworthy. The 28% increase in processing volume in Europe signals robust demand and effective market penetration. In contrast, the 33% decline in North American processing volume poses a concern. This decline may be influenced by recent changes in the U.S. banking compliance environment, which RYVYL's CEO alluded to as affecting some high-risk verticals.

It's also significant that the company is exploring new verticals and licensing opportunities, such as PayFac as a service and new independent software vendor (ISV) relationships. These initiatives could potentially drive long-term growth and diversify revenue streams, mitigating risks associated with current market dynamics.

The company's focus on cost control measures and efficient capital management, including repatriating cash from Europe, suggests a strategic approach to navigating current challenges. However, investors should be cautious about the company's projection of continued revenue impact in Q2 2024 due to ongoing market transitions.

SAN DIEGO, CA, May 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RYVYL Inc. (NASDAQ: RVYL) ("RYVYL” or the "Company"), a leading innovator of payment transaction solutions leveraging proprietary blockchain ledger and electronic payment technology for the diverse international markets, reported its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

“RYVYL makes payment technology simple by enabling intuitive, secure and compliant payments,” said Fredi Nisan, RYVYL’s CEO. “Leveraging this proprietary technology, we are actively pursuing new verticals and licensing opportunities, such as new PayFac as a service and new independent software vendor (ISV) relationships, which we believe will drive long-term growth.

“In Q1 2024, our RYVYL EU efforts continued to gain traction and delivered processing volume and revenue growth. However, recent changes in the banking compliance environment in the U.S. are affecting some of our high-risk verticals. As we navigate this transition, we remain focused on efficient capital management, to date repatriating $7.5 million from Europe to the U.S. while implementing cost control measures projected to benefit us in future periods. Additionally, we are accelerating business development in new verticals. While we expect Q2 2024 revenue to continue to be impacted, we believe our robust pipeline will fuel growth in the second half of 2024,” Nisan concluded.
