“REPAY is focused on executing on core growth, which continues to reinforce the ongoing secular tailwinds and resiliency of our business model. Our Business Payments segment normalized gross profit growth1 accelerated to 12% year-over-year, driven by the strength of our core accounts payable business, the onboarding of new enterprise customers, and the success of recent monetization efforts. Free cash flow was impacted by one-time working capital impacts as well as previously announced client losses. We believe the reported first quarter growth rates do not fully reflect our underlying business trends, and in fact, our 2025 outlook includes sequential quarterly normalized gross profit growth1 resulting in a high single-digit to low double-digit fourth quarter growth rate, as well as free cash flow conversion accelerating throughout the year. Our core growth strategy remains robust, with a relentless focus on profitable growth, optimized payment flows, and operational efficiency to create lasting value for our shareholders,” said John Morris, Chief Executive Officer of REPAY.
“The Board has made the decision to conclude our strategic review process at this time. I am confident in REPAY’s ability to deliver growth and value for our shareholders in the near term and believe that we will be well positioned for positive organic results as we move through 2025. Additionally, we separately announced that our Board of Directors approved an increase in our share repurchase authorization by $25 million. I also want to express our heartfelt gratitude to Tim Murphy, our Chief Financial Officer, for his 11 years of dedicated service and partnership. Tim will be leaving REPAY in the coming days, and we all wish him every success in his future endeavors.”
First Quarter 2025 Business Highlights
The Company's achievements in the quarter, including those highlighted below, reinforce management's belief in the ability of the Company to drive durable and long-term growth across REPAY's diversified business model.
- Reported and normalized gross profit1 declines of 5% and 4% year-over-year due to impacts from previously announced client losses, which include certain losses due to consolidation
- Consumer Payments gross profit declined approximately 5% year-over-year, which was impacted by the previously announced client losses
- Business Payments normalized gross profit growth1 of approximately 12% year-over-year
- Accelerated AP supplier network to over 390,000, an increase of approximately 40% year-over-year
- Added three new integrated software partners to bring the total to 283 software relationships as of the end of the first quarter
- Instant funding volumes increased by approximately 19% year-over-year
- Added 14 new credit unions bringing total credit union clients to 343
2025 Outlook
For fiscal year 2025, the Company now expects:
- Sequential quarterly acceleration of normalized gross profit growth1, including a fourth quarter year-over-year growth rate of high-single digits to low double-digits;
- Free cash flow conversion expected to exceed 50% in the second quarter, accelerating above 60% by the fourth quarter of 2025
REPAY does not provide quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking, non-GAAP financial measures, such as forecasted normalized gross profit growth 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.
1 Normalized gross profit growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that accounts for cyclical political media spending contributions. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliation to their most comparable GAAP measure provided below for additional information.
Segments
The Company reports its financial results based on two reportable segments.
Consumer Payments – The Consumer Payments segment provides payment processing solutions (including debit and credit card processing, Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) processing and other electronic payment acceptance solutions, as well as REPAY’s loan disbursement product) that enable REPAY’s clients to collect payments from and disburse funds to consumers and includes its clearing and settlement solutions (“RCS”). RCS is REPAY’s proprietary clearing and settlement platform through which it markets customizable payment processing programs to other ISOs and payment facilitators. The strategic vertical markets served by the Consumer Payments segment primarily include personal loans, automotive loans, receivables management, credit unions, mortgage servicing, consumer healthcare and diversified retail.
Business Payments – The Business Payments segment provides payment processing solutions (including accounts payable automation, debit and credit card processing, virtual credit card processing, ACH processing and other electronic payment acceptance solutions) that enable REPAY’s clients to collect payments from or send payments to other businesses. The strategic vertical markets served within the Business Payments segment primarily include retail automotive, education, field services, governments and municipalities, healthcare, media, homeowner association management and hospitality.

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 gain on extinguishment of debt, 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, such as 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 months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (excluding shares subject to forfeiture). 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. Normalized gross profit growth represents year-over-year gross profit growth that excludes incremental gross profit attributable to political media spending associated with the 2024 election cycle in our media payments business. REPAY believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Conversion and Normalized gross profit growth 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.

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. |
|
|
