PAYSAFE REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2025 RESULTS

REAFFIRMS FULL YEAR OUTLOOK

 

 

London, UK – August 12, 2025 – Paysafe Limited (NYSE: PSFE) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2025.

 


Second Quarter 2025 Summary

(compared to the second quarter 2024, unless noted)

 

Revenue of $428.2m, a decrease of 3%
Organic revenue growth of 5%
Net loss of $50.1m or ($0.85) per diluted share
Adjusted net income of $27.6m or $0.46 per diluted share
Adjusted EBITDA of $105.0m, inclusive of a $25.4m headwind related to the disposal of the direct marketing business line
Repurchased 1.5m shares for $20.0m

 


"A very solid quarter with revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS all in line with our expectations. We delivered 5% organic revenue growth and strong adjusted EBITDA growth of 12%, when excluding the divested direct marketing business, reflecting continued execution on our strategic priorities and growth across all major product lines. In Europe, for the first time in years, we had double-digit growth led by our consumer business, coupled with overall strong performance from existing customers, a higher contribution from new customer wins, and the launch of innovative products. Collectively, we remain on track to drive stronger growth and margin improvement in the second half of the year."

Bruce Lowthers, CEO of Paysafe

Reported revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $428.2 million, a decrease of 3%, compared to $439.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, as the prior year period included $36.7 million of revenue related to the disposed direct marketing payments processing business line. Organic revenue growth was 5%, reflecting 6% organic growth from Merchant Solutions, led by double-digit growth in e-commerce, and 3% organic growth from Digital Wallets.

 

Net loss for the second quarter was $50.1 million, compared to $1.4 million in the prior year period. Net loss included a charge to income tax expense of $30.6 million related to the recognition of a valuation allowance against the company's UK deferred tax assets, which is a non-cash expense that does not impact the company's current or future cash tax payments. The increase in net loss also reflects a decrease in operating income of $16.0 million mainly associated with the disposed business and an increase in non-operating expenses, including higher losses on foreign exchange and legal costs.

 

Adjusted net income for the second quarter decreased to $27.6 million, compared to $36.3 million in the prior year period, reflecting the decline in Adjusted EBITDA, as the prior year period included $25.4 million of Adjusted EBITDA related to the disposed business(1).

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter decreased 12% to $105.0 million, compared to $119.0 million in the prior year period, reflecting a headwind of approximately 24 percentage-points related to the disposed business as described above. This was partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, reflecting cost discipline and the non-recurring nature of certain investments in the prior year to expand the company's sales capabilities and optimize the portfolio.

 

Movement in foreign exchange rates was favorable to second quarter revenue and Adjusted EBITDA by $9.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively. This was partly offset by a $4.0 million headwind to both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA due to a decrease in interest revenue on consumer deposits.

 

Second quarter operating cash flow was $39.6 million, compared to $54.1 million in the prior year period. Unlevered free cash flow was $53.9 million, compared to $70.0 million in the prior year period.

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 organic revenue growth, 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”).

 

Organic revenue growth is defined as growth excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, revenue from interest on consumer deposits, acquisitions, and dispositions. Management believes organic revenue growth to be useful to users of our financial data because it enables them to better understand underlying revenue growth from period to period excluding the impact of these non-organic items.

 

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 other 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 other 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

 

9


 

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.
