LONDON, 9 May 2017 - Paysafe Group plc (LSE: PAYS, “Paysafe” or the “Group”), a leading global payment provider, issues the following Interim Management Statement covering the first three months of the financial year 2017, ahead of the Annual General Meeting at 11.30am today in the Isle of Man.

Key Highlights 

  • Paysafe continues to perform in line with management expectations expressed at the Group’s full-year results for 2016.
  • Paysafe reiterates its FY 2017 guidance of low double-digit organic revenue growth, and to at least maintain a 30.1% adjusted EBITDA1 margin in FY 2017.

Paysafe President and Chief Executive Officer Joel Leonoff said:

“Paysafe has had a strong start to 2017 and each of our divisions is performing as expected.

Our business continues to benefit from the disciplined execution of our strategy. Paysafe is focused on driving sustainable organic growth, providing state-of-the-art technology, delivering relevant niche oriented payment solutions, nourishing an entrepreneurial company culture, and identifying and integrating bold acquisitions.

We believe Paysafe’s differentiated and relevant products and services position us very well in a rapidly-evolving payments industry.”

1 Adjusted EBITDA is an alternative performance measure that the Group uses to communicate the underlying operating profit performance of the Group. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as results of operating activities before depreciation and amortisation, share-based payment expense, fair value gains and losses on share consideration payable, foreign exchange gains and losses, and gains and losses on disposals of assets. It is also adjusted for exceptional or non- recurring items which are defined as items of income and expense of such size, nature or incidence that, in the view of management, are not reflective of the underlying performance of the Group and should be disclosed to explain the performance of the Group.

2 Adjusted free cash conversion is an alternative performance measure the Group has adopted to demonstrate our ability to convert our EBIT growth into cash that can be reinvested in the business through investment, returned to shareholders, or used to support our strategic pillar of bold M&A.
