Paysafe Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

Nov 13, 2025

London, UK – November 13, 2025 – Paysafe Limited (NYSE: PSFE) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2025.

Third Quarter 2025 Summary
(compared to the third quarter of 2024, unless noted)

  • Revenue of $433.8m, net loss of $87.7m or ($1.52) per diluted share
  • Organic revenue increased 6%
  • Adjusted net income of $40.3m and $0.70 per diluted share, an increase of 37%
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $126.6m, an increase of 7%
  • Repurchased 1.5m shares for $20m
  • Board authorized an additional $70m to the existing share repurchase program

 

"Paysafe delivered accelerated financial results in the third quarter, including 6% organic revenue growth, 7% adjusted EBITDA growth, and 37% adjusted EPS growth. While we are pleased with this quarter and year-to-date results, we continue to see outperformance in lower-margin products and sales channels. Our updated 2025 outlook reflects these current business dynamics and a longer timeline for the delivery and growth of new products, such as our wallet platform initiatives. Our pipeline and customer interest in these innovative solutions continue to expand. Importantly, with the transformation we have driven over the last three years, we are seeing real improvements in how we operate. Today, Paysafe is a more agile and adaptable business with higher-quality revenue streams, well positioned for long-term success.”

– Bruce Lowthers, CEO of Paysafe

Reported revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $433.8 million, an increase of 2%, compared to $427.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, despite a headwind of $24.1 million related to the disposed direct marketing payments processing business line. Organic revenue growth for the third quarter was 6%, reflecting 7% organic growth from Merchant Solutions and 4% organic growth from Digital Wallets. This growth was led by double-digit growth from e-commerce, including robust volumes with the start of the U.S. football season, strong demand for Paysafe's suite of local payment solutions in Latin America, as well as increasing consumer engagement related to eCash product initiatives and the expansion of Paysafe's digital banking partnerships across Europe.

Net loss for the third quarter was $87.7 million, compared to $13.0 million in the prior year period, mainly reflecting a charge to income tax expense of $81.2 million related to the recognition of an additional valuation allowance against the company's U.S. deferred tax assets due to the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in July 2025. This is a non-cash expense that does not impact the company's current or future cash tax payments. The increase in net loss also reflects higher restructuring and other costs of $12.4 million, primarily related to legal fees.

Adjusted net income for the third quarter increased to $40.3 million, compared to $31.4 million in the prior year period, mainly driven by higher Adjusted EBITDA and lower interest expense.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter increased 7% to $126.6 million, compared to $117.8 million in the prior year period, despite a $10.3 million headwind (approximately 10 percentage-points) related to the disposed business line(1). Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter benefited from organic revenue growth as well as a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, reflecting cost discipline and the non-recurring nature of certain investments in the prior year to expand the company's sales capabilities and optimize the portfolio.

Movement in foreign exchange rates was favorable to third quarter revenue and Adjusted EBITDA by $11.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively, partly offset by a $3.6 million headwind to both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA due to a decrease in interest revenue on consumer deposits.

Third quarter operating cash flow was $69.2 million, compared to $81.9 million in the prior year period, which was mainly driven by higher restructuring costs and income tax paid. Unlevered free cash flow was $83.6 million, compared to $89.9 million in the prior year period.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA for the disposed business excludes certain indirect costs that were historically allocated to the disposed business. Such allocations included labor and non-labor expenses related to the business line’s shared functions (e.g., finance, technology and legal, among others). Indirect costs associated with the disposed business were $5.6 million for three months ended September 30, 2024.

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2025, total cash and cash equivalents were $248.6 million, total debt was $2.5 billion and net debt was $2.2 billion. Compared to December 31, 2024, total debt increased by $133.5 million, largely due to fluctuations in the EUR/USD exchange rate, which increased total debt by $142.6 million, offset partially by net repayments of $10.9 million.

Share repurchase program

Paysafe is also announcing that its Board of Directors has authorized a $70 million increase to its existing share repurchase program. Including the $70 million increase announced today, approximately $97 million in aggregate remains available under the share repurchase program.

Under the share repurchase program, management is authorized to purchase shares of our common stock from time to time through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions at prevailing prices as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors. This program does not obligate the company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the company’s discretion.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the company’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. This includes organic revenue growth, Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization), Adjusted EBITDA, Unlevered free cash flow, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share, and Net leverage which are supplemental measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

Organic revenue growth is defined as growth excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, revenue from interest on consumer deposits, acquisitions, and dispositions. Management believes organic revenue growth to be useful to users of our financial data because it enables them to better understand underlying revenue growth from period to period excluding the impact of these non-organic items.

Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization) is defined as revenue less cost of services (excluding depreciation and amortization). Management believes Gross Profit to be a useful profitability measure to assess the performance of our businesses and ability to manage cost.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income/(loss) before the impact of income tax (benefit)/expense, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, impairment expense on goodwill and other assets, restructuring and other costs, loss/(gain) on disposal of a subsidiaries and other assets, net, and other income/(expense), net. These adjustments also include certain costs and transaction items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance of the company. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA to be a useful profitability measure to assess the performance of our businesses and improves the comparability of operating results across reporting periods.

Adjusted net income excludes the impact of certain non-operational and non-cash items. Adjusted net income is defined as net income/(loss) attributable to the company before the impact of other non-operating income / (expense), net, impairment expense on goodwill and other assets, restructuring and other costs, accelerated amortization of debt fees, amortization of acquired assets, loss/(gain) on disposal of subsidiaries and other assets, share-based compensation, discrete tax items and the income tax (benefit)/expense on these non-GAAP adjustments. Adjusted net income per share is adjusted net income as defined above divided by adjusted weighted average dilutive shares outstanding.  Management believes the removal of certain non-operational and non-cash items from net income enhances shareholders' ability to evaluate the company’s business performance and profitability by improving comparability of operating results across reporting periods.

Unlevered free cash flow is defined as net cash flows provided by/used in operating activities, adjusted for the impact of capital expenditure, payments relating to restructuring and other costs and cash paid for interest. Capital expenditure includes purchases of property plant & equipment and purchases of other intangible assets, including software development costs. Capital expenditure does not include purchases of merchant portfolios. Management believes unlevered free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information about the amount of cash generated by the business.

Net leverage is defined as net debt (gross debt less cash and cash equivalents) divided by the last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes net leverage is a useful measure of the company's credit position and progress towards leverage targets.

Management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, including Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Unlevered free cash flow, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share, and Net leverage when considered together with the company’s results presented in accordance with GAAP, provide users with useful supplemental information in comparing the operating results across reporting periods by excluding items that are not considered indicative of Paysafe’s core operating performance.  In addition, management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information in assessing the company’s results on a basis that fosters comparability across periods by excluding the impact on the company’s reported GAAP results of acquisitions and dispositions that have occurred in such periods. However, these non-GAAP measures exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Paysafe’s financial results or position.

Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to revenue, net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP.

You should be aware that Paysafe’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. In addition, the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA provided herein have not been reconciled to the comparable GAAP measure due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations.  We have reconciled the historical non-GAAP financial measures presented herein to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of our forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the adjusting items necessary for such reconciliations that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
