The financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 included in this press release reflects, and is based upon, information of REPAY prior to giving effect to the business combination with Thunder Bridge Acquisition Ltd. completed on July 11, 2019 (as further discussed below).
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and amortization and certain other non-cash charges and non-recurring items. Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and certain other non-cash charges and non-recurring items. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to their most comparable GAAP measure provided below. Gross profit represents total revenue less interchange and network fees as well as other costs of services.
Subsequent Events
On July 11, 2019, REPAY Holdings, LLC, together with its parent, Hawk Parent Holdings, LLC (together, “Hawk Parent”), and Thunder Bridge Acquisition, Ltd. (“Thunder Bridge”), a special purpose acquisition company, announced that they completed their previously announced business combination under which Thunder Bridge acquired Hawk Parent for approximately $580.7 million in total consideration. Upon completion of the business combination, Thunder Bridge changed its name to Repay Holdings Corporation, and its Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “RPAY” on July 12, 2019.
On August 14, 2019 the Company announced the acquisition of TriSource Solutions for up to $65 million, which included a performance based earnout. The acquisition was financed with a combination of cash on hand and proceeds from borrowings under REPAY’s existing credit facility.
2019 Outlook
The addition of TriSource Solutions is expected to contribute between $8.0 million and $10.0 million in total revenue and between $2.25 million and $2.75 million in Adjusted EBITDA to the remainder of 2019.
REPAY now expects the following financial results for full year 2019, which reflects expected contributions from TriSource:
| Full Year 2019 Outlook | ||
| Previous Guidance | Updated Guidance | |
| Card Payment Volume | $9.2 billion | $9.6 - 9.75 billion |
| Total Revenue | $159.2 million | $157.0 - 162.0 million |
| Gross Profit | $71.6 million | $74.0 - 76.0 million |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $44.0 million | $45.3 - 46.8 million |
Revenue information for the full year 2019 outlook is presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605. REPAY expects to adopt a new standard, ASC 606, when financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2019 are reported. In addition, REPAY does not provide quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking, non-GAAP financial measures such as forecasted 2019 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 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 communication includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that REPAY’s management uses to evaluate its operating business, measure its performance and make strategic decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income prior to interest expense, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to add back certain non-cash and non-recurring charges, such as loss on extinguishment of debt, non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration, share-based compensation charges, transaction expenses, management fees, legacy commission related charges, employee recruiting costs, loss on disposition of property and equipment, other taxes, strategic initiative related 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 non-cash and non-recurring charges, such as loss on extinguishment of debt, non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration, transaction expenses, share-based compensation expense, management fees, legacy commission related charges, employee recruiting costs, loss on disposition of property and equipment, strategic initiative related costs and other non-recurring charges. 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 we exclude amortization from acquisition-related intangibles from our 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. REPAY believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as management. However, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating profit, 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 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 and Adjusted Net Income alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and REPAY’s other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
