Paysafe (NYSE:PSFE) Releases Earnings Results

Paysafe (NYSE:PSFE) announced its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The company reported $0.43 EPS for the quarter, topping analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.39 by $0.04, FiscalAI reports.

Here are the key takeaways from Paysafe’s conference call:

• Revenue grew 4% in Q2 and 7% in the first half year over year, supported by momentum in Latin America, European PaysafeWallet adoption, North American iGaming, and data-licensing deals.
• Adjusted EBITDA declined 2% to $102.8 million, with margin falling to 23% as Paysafe increased marketing and IT investment; digital-wallet EBITDA fell 9%, partly due to a VAT accrual and higher consumer marketing costs.
• Paysafe reaffirmed its full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance and expects second-half operating expenses to fall by approximately $25 million-$30 million, aided by lower fraud losses, reduced investment spending, and operational efficiencies.
• The company completed a major refinancing that extends maturities to 2030, increases revolver capacity, and reduces near-term balance-sheet pressure. Net leverage was 5.3x at quarter-end, with year-end leverage expected at 5.1x-5.2x and a midterm goal of 3.5x.
• Paysafe reached a preliminary settlement in the Farzad litigation, removing a significant legacy legal and restructuring overhang, although it expects a $39 million cash payment in the second half.
