Total revenue for the third quarter of 2023 was $396.4 million, an increase of 8%, compared to $366.0 million in the prior year period, reflecting 8% growth in total payment volume. Excluding an $11.9 million favorable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates, total revenue increased 5%. Revenue from the Merchant Solutions segment increased 6%, led by double-digit growth from e-commerce solutions. Revenue from the Digital Wallets segment increased 12% on a reported basis and 5% on a constant currency basis, as a decline from eCash solutions was more than offset by double-digit growth from classic digital wallets, partly reflecting the Company's initiatives to increase consumer engagement and merchant checkout conversion rates. Growth from the Digital Wallets segment was also supported by new product features and interest revenue on consumer deposits.

Net loss attributable to the Company for the third quarter was $2.5 million, compared to net income of $1.0 million in the prior year period. The decrease in net income reflects an increase in operating income, which was offset by a reduction in other income as a result of foreign exchange and fair value adjustments.

Adjusted net income for the third quarter increased 21% to $35.3 million, compared to $29.2 million in the prior year period as strong growth in Adjusted EBITDA more than offset higher expenses related to depreciation and amortization, interest and taxes.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $116.1 million, an increase of 22%, compared to $95.5 million in the prior year period. Excluding a $3.4 million favorable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates, Adjusted EBITDA increased 18% compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the third quarter increased 320 basis points to 29.3%, compared to 26.1% in the prior year period, reflecting lower credit losses and operating leverage.

Third quarter net cash used in operating activities was $2.5 million, compared to $6.2 million in the prior year period, mainly reflecting the timing of working capital, as well as settlement of funds payable and amounts due to customers. Free cash flow was $105.3 million, compared to $106.5 million in the prior year period, which includes the movement in customer accounts and other restricted cash which was an increase of $99.8 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to an increase of $110.0 million in the prior year period.

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2023, total cash and cash equivalents were $226.5 million, total debt was $2.5 billion and net debt was $2.3 billion. Compared to June 30, 2023, total debt decreased by $61.0 million, reflecting net repayments of $22 million as well as movement in foreign exchange rates.

Share Repurchase Program

Paysafe also announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the commencement of a share repurchase program. The share repurchase program authorizes the Company to purchase up to $50 million of Paysafe’s common stock.

“This buyback program reinforces the Board’s and management’s confidence in Paysafe,” said Alex Gersh, CFO of Paysafe. “With our healthy cash flow generation and consistent progress towards reducing our net leverage ratio over the last several quarters, we believe now is the appropriate time to include share repurchases as part of our capital allocation strategy. We continue to expect the majority of our excess cash flow to be committed to de-leveraging, while we also continue to invest in innovation to drive long-term growth.”

Under the Share Repurchase Program, management is authorized to purchase shares of our common stock from time to time through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions at prevailing prices as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors. This program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.

Webcast and Conference Call

Paysafe will host a live webcast to discuss the results today at 8:30 a.m. (ET). The webcast and supplemental information can be accessed on the investor relations section of the Paysafe website at ir.paysafe.com. An archive will be available after the conclusion of the live event and will remain available via the same link for one year.

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, 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). 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 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. 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.

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.

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.

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, Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Free cash flow and Free cash flow conversion, 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.
