Fourth Quarter 2022 Results
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $383.6 million, an increase of 3%, compared to $371.7 million in the prior year period, driven by strong revenue growth from Merchant Solutions, which increased 10%, partly offset by Digital Wallets, which declined 4%. Excluding a $17.6 million unfavorable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates, total revenue increased 8% compared to the prior year period. Digital Wallets revenue increased 6% on a constant currency basis, reflecting growth from acquisitions completed in the last twelve months and growth from new products, which more than offset an impact from the Russia-Ukraine war of approximately 1%.
Net loss attributable to the Company for the fourth quarter was $33.7 million, compared to net income of $90.3 million in the prior year period. The decrease is largely attributable to a fair value gain on the remeasurement of the warrant liability and an income tax benefit in the prior year period as well as increases in interest expense and share-based compensation expense in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $107.6 million, an increase of 2%, compared to $105.5 million in the prior year period. Excluding a $4.1 million unfavorable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates, Adjusted EBITDA increased 6% compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter was 28.0%, compared to 28.4% in the prior year period.
Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter was $33.1 million, compared to $52.2 million in the prior year period, reflecting an increase in interest expense.
Fourth quarter net cash used in operating activities was $449.1 million, compared to an inflow of $131.9 million in the prior year period, mainly reflecting the timing of settlement of funds payable and amounts due to customers. Free cash flow was $91.5 million, compared to $53.1 million in the prior year period, which includes the movement in customer accounts and other restricted cash which was an increase of $504.8 million in 2022, compared to a decrease of $94.8 million in the prior year period.
Full Year 2022 Results
Total revenue for the full year 2022 was $1,496.1 million, an increase of 1%, compared to $1,487.0 million in the prior year, driven by strong revenue growth from Merchant Solutions, which increased 10%, partly offset by Digital Wallets, which declined 9%. Excluding a $70.5 million unfavorable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates, total revenue increased 5% compared to the prior year. Digital Wallets revenue increased 1% on a constant currency basis, reflecting growth from acquisitions completed in the last twelve months and growth from new products, which more than offset market headwinds related to gambling regulations in Europe as well as an impact from the Russia-Ukraine war of approximately 1%.
Net loss attributable to the Company for the full year 2022 was $1,862.7 million, compared to a net loss of $111.0 million in the prior year, largely attributable to non-cash charges related to the impairment of goodwill and intangibles recognized in 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2022 was $410.0 million, a decrease of 8%, compared to $443.9 million in the prior year, including unfavorable impacts from foreign exchange rates and business mix, as well as an impact from the Russia-Ukraine war, partly offset by contribution from the acquisitions. Excluding an $18.9 million unfavorable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 3% compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 27.4%, compared to 29.9% in the prior year.
Adjusted net income for the full year 2022 was $137.0 million, compared to $185.8 million in the prior year. The change in adjusted net income was largely attributable to the same factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA as well as an increase in depreciation and amortization expense, excluding the amortization of acquired intangibles, and an increase in interest expense, excluding the impact of the acceleration of deferred debt financing expense in the prior year.
Net cash from operating activities for 2022 was $924.1 million, compared to $224.5 million in the prior year, mainly reflecting the timing of settlement of funds payable and amounts due to customers. Free cash flow was $297.8 million, compared to $286.3 million in the prior year which includes movements in customer accounts and restricted cash which was a decrease of $684.9 million in 2022, compared to an increase of $32.4 million in the prior year.
Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2022, total cash and cash equivalents were $260.2 million, total debt was $2.6 billion and net debt was $2.4 billion.

Upon completion of the Transaction, the common stock and warrants began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbols “PSFE” and “PSFE WS,” respectively, on March 31, 2021.

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 Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization), Gross Profit Margin (excluding depreciation and amortization), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Free cash flow and Free cash flow conversion, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, 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”).
Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization) is defined as revenue less cost of services (excluding depreciation and amortization). Gross Profit Margin (excluding depreciation and amortization) is defined as Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization) as a percentage of revenue. 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 intangible 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. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Revenue. 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 intangible 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.
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, cash paid for interest and movements in customer accounts and other restricted cash. 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. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information about the amount of cash generated by the business.
Management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, including Gross Profit, Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted net income, 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 measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Gross Profit provided herein have not been reconciled to comparable GAAP measures 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.
