Real-time tracking and streamlined payments serve to boost borrower-lender operations, experiences and relationships

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 5, 2024-- Repay Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: RPAY) (“REPAY”), a leading provider of vertically-integrated payment solutions, today announced new enhancements to the company’s integration with partner CU*Answers, a 100% credit union-owned, Credit Union Service Organization (CUSO) that provides core processing solutions and services for hundreds of credit unions across the U.S. Various new features, including real-time payment posting and tracking, simplified sign-in capabilities, and streamlined loan payment modalities are designed to benefit both the members and business operations of credit unions utilizing CU*Answers’ CU*BASE platform.

As an integrated partner, REPAY enables CU*Answers’ wide network of credit union clients to streamline processing efficiencies by securely accepting ACH and card payments via web, mobile, Interactive Voice Response (IVR) or text. Offering a wide variety of payment modalities provides borrowers with options to make loan payments in the way that is most convenient for them and enhances the overall member experience.

Regardless of payment method, REPAY’s integrated platform tracks, logs and posts payment data to the CU*BASE core platform. Real-time posting is designed to ensure payment updates and information are reflected in credit unions’ records immediately after a payment is submitted, mitigating the risk of invalid penalties and unnecessary collection efforts that are triggered for past-due payments. This not only smooths accounting processes for credit unions, but also supports better relationships with members due to improved trust and communication.

“When borrowers are provided with the opportunity to make secure, speedy payments in the method and time that is most convenient to them, all stakeholders benefit from better payment experiences,” said Jake Moore, EVP, Consumer Payments, REPAY. “These improvements to our integration with CU*Answers will enable credit unions and their members to increase trust and communication, ultimately forging better relationships thanks to modern payment technology capabilities.”

Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities further serve to benefit borrower-lender relationships by streamlining the digital payment experience for credit union members. SSO enables members to access REPAY’s payment portal directly through CU*Answers’ It’s Me 247 Online Banking platform without re-entering their login credentials, which increases the speed and convenience of the payment process. Authenticating users with SSO functionality also protects members by reducing opportunities for incidents that could impact the security of login credentials and financial information.

“We are constantly refining and upgrading the ability of our platform to support our credit union clients’ collection operations and help them meet member demands,” said Geoff Johnson, CEO of CU*Answers. “The integration with REPAY helps us to achieve those goals, and we are proud to offer these new benefits to our customers in collaboration with the REPAY team.”

2024 Outlook

“In 2024, we expect Adjusted EBITDA to grow faster than gross profit, and we also expect to reduce capital expenditures, leading to an acceleration of cash conversion,” said Tim Murphy, CFO of REPAY. “We expect Free Cash Flow Conversion to improve throughout 2024 as we realize the benefits from investments we’ve made in sales, product, and technology over the past several years. We have always focused on profitable growth, refining processes across the business where we can scale through automation while also maintaining investments towards innovation.”

REPAY expects the following financial results for full year 2024.

 Full Year 2024 Outlook
Revenue$314 - 320 million
Gross Profit$245 - 250 million
Adjusted EBITDA$139 - 142 million
Free Cash Flow Conversion~ 60%
 

REPAY does not provide quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking, non-GAAP financial measures, such as forecasted 2024 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.

REPAY will host a conference call to discuss fourth quarter and full year 2023 financial results today, February 29, 2024 at 5:00 pm ET. Hosting the call will be John Morris, CEO, and Tim Murphy, CFO. The call will be webcast live from REPAY’s investor relations website at https://investors.repay.com/investor-relations.

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 loss on business disposition, non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration, 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 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, loss on business disposition, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration, 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, 2023 and 2022 (excluding shares subject to forfeiture). Normalized organic revenue growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents year-on-year revenue growth that excludes incremental revenue attributable to acquisitions, dispositions and REPAY’s media payments business related to the cyclical political media spending in the applicable prior period or any subsequent period. Organic gross profit growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents year-on-year gross profit growth that excludes incremental gross profit attributable to acquisitions and divestitures made in the applicable prior period or any subsequent period. Normalized organic gross profit growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents year-on-year organic gross profit growth that excludes incremental gross profit attributable to REPAY’s media payments business related to the cyclical political media spending in the applicable prior period or any subsequent period. 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. REPAY believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share, normalized organic revenue growth, organic gross profit growth, normalized organic gross profit growth, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Conversion 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.

(1)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.

ACG Atlanta Announces 40 Fastest--Growing Companies in Georgia

Honorees are recognized at the Celebration in June and via an Online Platform

May 18, 2023: ATLANTA - The Atlanta Chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth® (ACG), a
global professional organization with the mission of Driving Middle-Market Growth®, today announced the 2023 Georgia Fast 40, recognizing the top 40 fastest-growing middle-market companies in Georgia.

“The companies being honored this year exemplify ACG’s focus on driving middle-market growth and demonstrate the strength and significance of this sector in Georgia,” said Meg Williams, Executive Director of the Association for Corporate Growth’s Atlanta chapter.

Applicants were required to submit three years of verifiable revenue and employment growth
records, which were validated by the national accounting firm and founding Diamond sponsor,
Cherry Bekaert LLP. An ACG Committee evaluated each company and conducted in-person interviews with all qualified applicants. All companies on the list are for-profit and headquartered in Georgia. These firms reported 2022 year-end revenues ranging from $15 to $500 million. ACG Atlanta will announce additional honorees with revenues up to $1 billion in the next coming weeks.

“These 40+ companies represent almost 10,000 new jobs and over 2.6 billion dollars in revenue growth over the last three years,” said Brooks Morris of the Georgia Fast 40 Awards and principal with Cresa. “In speaking with many of the CEO’s, the supportive business environment and accessibility of capital are contributors to growth. By far the biggest challenge is the tightness of the labor market. We are proud to honor these companies and look forward to learning more insights online and at the celebration in June.”

ACG Atlanta will present the awards and ranking at the 2023 Georgia Fast 40 celebration at the
Buckhead Theatre on June 27, 2023. Single tickets for ACG Members can be purchased online at

“We are pleased with our results for the first quarter, which include organic revenue growth of 12% and organic gross profit growth of 13%. We believe these results highlight our resilient and diversified business model,” said John Morris, CEO of REPAY. “Our Consumer Payments segment experienced 17% organic gross profit growth year over year driven by the ongoing secular tailwinds within the payments industry, the demand for our products, along with our focus on go-to-market and product expansions. We remain excited about our prospects in the Business Payments segment, where we saw positive momentum in gross profit growth for that segment exiting the quarter, which has continued into the second quarter of 2023. We also grew our AP supplier network to over 174,000 from approximately 160,000 at the end of 2022.”

First Quarter 2023 Business Highlights

2023 Outlook

“We're off to a strong start in 2023 and feel good about our Q1 results. Based on the current macroeconomic uncertainty, we are reaffirming our 2023 outlook,” said Tim Murphy, CFO of REPAY. “We continue to expect adjusted free cash flow conversion to remain strong in 2023, accelerating throughout the year into 2024 as we realize the benefits from investments we’ve made in sales, product, and technology over the past several years.”

REPAY reiterates its previously provided outlook for full year 2023, as shown below.

 Full Year 2023 Outlook
Card Payment Volume$26.0 - 27.2 billion
Revenue$272 - 288 million
Gross Profit$216 - 228 million
Adjusted EBITDA$122 - 130 million

REPAY does not provide quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking, non-GAAP financial measures, such as forecasted 2023 Adjusted EBITDA, 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 loss on business disposition, non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration, 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, loss on business disposition, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration, 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, 2023 and 2022 (excluding shares subject to forfeiture). Organic gross profit growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents year-on-year gross profit growth that excludes incremental gross profit attributable to acquisitions and divestitures made in the applicable prior period or any subsequent period. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net cash flow provided by operating activities less total capital expenditures, as adjusted to add back certain charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses and/or non-recurring charges, such as transaction expenses, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs and other non-recurring charges. REPAY believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share, organic gross profit growth and Adjusted Free Cash Flow 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.

(i)  For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, reflects amortization of client relationships, non-compete agreement, software, and channel relationship intangibles acquired through the business combination with Thunder Bridge, and client relationships, non-compete agreement, and software intangibles acquired through REPAY's acquisitions of TriSource Solutions, APS Payments, Ventanex, cPayPlus, CPS Payments, BillingTree, Kontrol Payables and Payix. This adjustment excludes the amortization of other intangible assets which were acquired in the regular course of business, such as capitalized internally developed software and purchased software. See additional information below for an analysis of amortization expenses:

(1)  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.

Segments

Starting from December 31, 2022, 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 its clients to collect payments and disburse funds to consumers and includes its clearing and settlement solutions (“RCS”) and Blue Cow Software business (“BCS”).

With the divestiture of BCS on February 15, 2023, BCS is no longer included in the Consumer Payments segment as of the sale date.

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 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, homeowner association management and hospitality.

2023 Outlook

“In 2023, we will continue to invest in growth opportunities across our Consumer and Business Payments segments,” said Tim Murphy, CFO of REPAY. “We aim to achieve double digit organic gross profit growth, which excludes contributions of the Blue Cow divestiture following the closing date. We expect Adjusted Free Cash Flow conversion to remain strong in 2023, accelerating throughout the year into 2024, as we realize the benefits from the investments we have been making in sales, product, and technology over the past several years.”

REPAY expects the following financial results for full year 2023:

 Full Year 2023 Outlook
Card Payment Volume$26.0 - 27.2 billion
Revenue$272 - 288 million
Gross Profit$216 - 228 million
Adjusted EBITDA$122 - 130 million

REPAY does not provide quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking, non-GAAP financial measures, such as forecasted 2023 Adjusted EBITDA, 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.

Conference Call

REPAY will host a conference call to discuss fourth quarter and full year 2022 financial results today, March 1, 2023 at 5:00 pm ET. Hosting the call will be John Morris, CEO, and Tim Murphy, CFO. The call will be webcast live from REPAY’s investor relations website at https://investors.repay.com/investor-relations. The conference call can also be accessed live over the phone by dialing (877) 407-3982, or for international callers (201) 493-6780.

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 loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on termination of interest rate hedge, non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration, 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, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on termination of interest rate hedge, non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration, 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, 2022 and 2021 (excluding shares subject to forfeiture). Organic gross profit growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents year-on-year gross profit growth that excludes incremental gross profit attributable to acquisitions made in the applicable prior period or any subsequent period. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net cash flow provided by operating activities less total capital expenditures, as adjusted to add back certain charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses and/or non-recurring charges, such as transaction expenses, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs and other non-recurring charges. REPAY believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share, organic gross profit growth and Adjusted Free Cash Flow provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as management. However, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share, organic gross profit growth and Adjusted Free Cash Flow 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 Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share, organic gross profit growth, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, 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 Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share, organic gross profit growth, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow 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.

(1)  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.
