"REPAY delivered on our Q4 outlook to improve normalized growth as the company exited 2025," John Morris, Chief Executive Officer of REPAY. "This performance underscores the progress of REPAY’s strategic initiatives and operational discipline. In 2025, the company faced a variety of challenges. However, REPAY underwent the necessary improvements to strengthen our operations, go-to-market, and organization. Looking forward, we are well-positioned to continue our momentum as REPAY looks to improve during 2026 and remains dedicated to capturing growth opportunities, while supporting and optimizing our clients’ digital payment flows."
Fourth 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 revenue was approximately flat and gross profit declined 2% year-over-year due to lapping incremental gross profit attributable to political media spending associated with the 2024 election cycle in our media payments business
- Normalized revenue and gross profit growth1 increased 10% and 9% year-over-year
- Consumer Payments revenue and gross profit growth was 8% and 6%, year-over-year
- Business Payments normalized revenue and gross profit growth1 was approximately 41% and 73% year-over-year
- Net loss included a non-cash goodwill impairment loss of $138.5 million in the Consumer Payments segment. The write-down was a result of a decline in the share price during the fourth quarter, and changes in the discount rate and comparable market multiples used in determining goodwill impairment.
- Added three new integrated software partners to bring the total to 294 software relationships as of the end of the fourth quarter
- Accelerated AP supplier network to over 602,000, an increase of approximately 67% year-over-year
| 1 Normalized revenue and gross profit growth are non-GAAP financial measures that account for cyclical political media spending contributions. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliations to their most comparable GAAP measures provided below for additional information. |
2026 Outlook
“Our full year 2026 outlook reflects the normalized growth that we believe REPAY can sustainably achieve as we expect to benefit from the operational improvements for a scaled future,” said Robert Houser, Chief Financial Officer of REPAY. "We expect to achieve strong 10%-12% reported revenue growth, 40% plus Adjusted EBTIDA margins, and Free Cash Flow generation, while strategically deploying capital towards long-term growth opportunities."
REPAY expects the following financial results for full year 2026.
| Full Year 2025 | Full Year 2026 Outlook | |
| Revenue | $309.3 million | $340 - 346 million |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $128.6 million | $136.5 - 141.5 million |
| Free Cash Flow Conversion | 38% | 45% |
REPAY does not provide quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking, non-GAAP financial measures, such as 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 gain on extinguishment of debt, 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, loss on business disposition 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 loss on business disposition, gain on extinguishment of debt, non-cash impairment loss, 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 and years ended December 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 revenue growth represents year-over-year revenue growth that excludes incremental gross profit attributable to political media spending associated with the 2024 election cycle in our media payments business. 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, Normalized revenue growth 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.

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. | ||||

New referral program enables clients to donate earned vendor payment rebates to West Virginia University’s NIL fund
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 13, 2026-- Repay Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: RPAY) (“REPAY”), a leading provider of vertically-integrated payment solutions, today announced the launch of a new referral partnership with Gold & Blue Enterprises (GBE) that will enable GBE-referred clients to donate earned rebates to West Virginia University’s (WVU) Athletics Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) fund.
As REPAY’s inaugural partner, GBE-referred clients who pay their vendors through REPAY can elect to donate earned rebates from virtual card and Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions to WVU Athletics. This directly supports the success of the university’s sports teams by enhancing WVU’s ability to attract top-performing student athletes. REPAY will provide GBE clients with improved cost-savings and accounts payable (AP) efficiency, as well as stronger vendor relationships and greater control of accounting operations.
“Our clients are avid fans who love supporting their Mountaineers,” said Don Robinson, CEO of Gold & Blue Enterprises. “We are proud to offer these organizations a way to not only simplify their AP processes and increase revenue, but to contribute those funds to a cause they are passionate about supporting by leveraging REPAY’s proven payment technology.”
REPAY’s automation technology reduces the need for manual operations that can result in errors or delays, boosting productivity and ensuring timely vendor payments. This automation prevents unnecessary fees due to late or inaccurate payments and enables organizations of all sizes to achieve greater operational efficiency through elevated financial management processes.
“Organizations that leverage digital payments such as virtual cards and ACH can modernize AP processes and improve payment security compared to legacy payment processes,” said Darin Horrocks, Executive Vice President, Business Payments at REPAY. “Our advanced AP platform routes rebates to WVU athletics from electing GBE-referred clients, enabling those clients to feel pride in contributing directly to the Mountaineers and the future of collegiate athletics.”

Proprietary Gateway Technology Delivers Highest Authorization Rates and Fewest Outages in Competitive Analysis
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 23, 2025-- Repay Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: RPAY) ("REPAY"), a leading provider of vertically-integrated payment solutions, is proud to be honored by TSG (The Strawhecker Group) as the most reliable gateway provider according to key performance metrics. Based on mid-year data powered by TSG’s Global Experience Monitoring (GEM) platform, REPAY’s gateway was recognized as having the highest authorization rate and lowest gateway minute outage.
GEM monitors real card transactions and pings from over 30 global locations across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia Pacific 24/7/365 to benchmark gateway performance. GEM is different from other monitoring solutions because it provides the client’s perspective of performance.
For January through June 2025, REPAY’s gateway earned first place recognition for Highest Authorization Rate. GEM evaluates this metric by tracking the percentage of authorization failures a gateway experiences daily unrelated to the issuer, network, or cardholder.Within the same timeframe in 2025, REPAY’s gateway also earned first place recognition for Lowest Gateway Minute Outage. GEM pings locations in the United States and Canada to determine minute outages, recording an outage if at least 25% of location checks fail simultaneously. Additionally, REPAY was runner-up for Best Gateway Uptime, based on performance checks from over 35 global locations to determine the gateway’s availability.
“Payment reliability is absolutely critical for today's merchants and enterprises," said Mike Trilli, GEM Product Manager at TSG. "When businesses partner with a payments provider that ensures exceptional availability and minimizes disruptions, they can boost revenue growth, safeguard customer loyalty, and eliminate operational friction. REPAY's gateway reliability and sustained high-level performance truly stood out to us.”
"These mid-year results demonstrate the strength and reliability of our proprietary gateway technology," said David Guthrie, CTO of REPAY. “While many of our direct competitors rely on third-party solutions, REPAY’s investment in our gateway infrastructure continues to deliver superior performance for our clients when it matters most.”

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 9, 2025-- Repay Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: RPAY) ("REPAY"), a leading provider of vertically-integrated payment solutions, today announced a comprehensive technology partnership with Alfa, a leading provider of SaaS solutions for the global automotive and equipment finance industry. This strategic partnership will deliver more secure and convenient payment acceptance capabilities to Alfa's users throughout the United States and Canada.
REPAY and Alfa will begin joint efforts on technical integration between platforms enabling complete payment acceptance across a wide range of modalities, including card payments, ACH and digital wallets.

The partnership will look to extend enhanced payment acceptance and tracking across Alfa’s complete customer portfolio, encompassing both auto and equipment financing companies. The intention is for financial institutions and lenders using Alfa's loan and leasing management platform to be able to utilize an out of the box, modernized and seamless payment experience while streamlining internal accounting and reconciliation processes.

Additionally, the solution maintains compliance with industry security standards while providing lenders with detailed transaction reporting and analytics.
"This partnership with REPAY represents a significant step forward in delivering industry-leading solutions to our clients in the auto finance and equipment financing sectors,” said David O’Callaghan, EVP, North America, at Alfa.

| Revenue | $74.9 | $79.1 | $78.3 | $77.3 | $75.6 | ||||
| Gross profit (1) | 58.6 | 61.6 | 59.7 | 58.7 | 57.2 | ||||
| Net (loss) income(2) | (4.2) | 3.2 | (4.0) | (8.2) | (108.0) | ||||
| Adjusted EBITDA (3) | 33.7 | 35.1 | 36.5 | 33.2 | 31.8 | ||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | 31.0 | 60.1 | 34.3 | 2.5 | 33.1 | ||||
| Free Cash Flow (3) | 19.3 | 48.8 | 23.5 | (8.0) | 22.6 | ||||
| Free Cash Flow Conversion(3) | 57% | 139% | 64% | (24%) | 71% |
| (1) | Gross profit represents revenue less costs of services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). | |
| (2) | During the second quarter of 2025, Net loss was impacted by a $103.8 million goodwill impairment loss primarily related to the Consumer Payments segment. Further information about this non-cash impairment loss can be found in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. | |
| (3) | Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Conversion are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Conversion to their most comparable GAAP measure provided below for additional information. |
“During the second quarter, REPAY executed on our path to reaccelerating growth during 2025, while making great progress to improve on our go-to-market, implementation pipelines, and operational excellence,” said John Morris, Chief Executive Officer of REPAY. “We began to deploy incremental strategic investments into our growth opportunities, while sequentially improving Free Cash Flow Conversion to over 71%. REPAY used the second quarter as a prime opportunity to buy back approximately 5% of REPAY’s outstanding shares and we have used a total of $38 million in 2025 to repurchase shares through August 11th. Looking forward, REPAY is building momentum from our strategic initiatives to accelerate growth exiting the year.”
Second 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 profit growth1 declines of 2% and 1% year-over-year due to impacts from previously announced client losses, which include certain losses due to consolidation
- Consumer Payments gross profit was approximately flat, which was impacted by the previously announced client losses
- Business Payments normalized gross profit growth1 of approximately 1% year-over-year, which includes a headwind related to the previously communicated client loss during 2024
- Net loss included a non-cash goodwill impairment loss of $103.8 million primarily in the Consumer Payments segment. The write-down was a result of a decline in the share price during the second quarter, and changes in the discount rate and comparable market multiples used in determining goodwill impairment.
- Added three new integrated software partners to bring the total to 286 software relationships as of the end of the second quarter
- Accelerated AP supplier network to over 440,000, an increase of approximately 47% year-over-year
- Instant funding volumes increased by approximately 38% year-over-year
- Added 10 new credit unions bringing total credit union clients to 353
2025 Outlook
REPAY reiterates its previously provided outlook for fiscal year 2025, as shown below:
- 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 accelerate above 60% by the fourth quarter of 2025
| 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. | ||
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.
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 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, gain on extinguishment of debt 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 impairment loss, 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, 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.

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. |
