During the second and fourth quarter of 2025, Net loss was impacted by a $103.8 million and a $138.9 million goodwill impairment loss, respectively, primarily related to the Consumer Payments segment. Further information about this non-cash impairment loss can be found in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Conversion are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Conversion to their most comparable GAAP measure provided below for additional information.

"It has been an exciting time for REPAY during the second quarter," John Morris, Chief Executive Officer of REPAY. "We delivered revenue growth of 33%, achieved approximately 6% organic revenue growth1, while generating $27.4 million of Free Cash Flow. Our most significant corporate development this year was completing the KUBRA acquisition in June and we immediately began executing on the integration. REPAY is now fully positioned to be a leading Consumer Bill Payment and Communication Services platform in the United States and Canada. We look forward to our continued execution during the second half of the year, where we are confident in our ability to accelerate organic growth into double-digits while also creating value from KUBRA contributions and realized synergies."

Second Quarter 2026 Business Highlights

The Company's achievements in the quarter, including those highlighted below, reinforce management's belief in the ability of the Company to drive durable and long-term growth across REPAY's diversified business model.

  • Reported revenue growth of 33% and organic revenue growth1 of 6% year-over-year
  • Consumer Payments revenue growth and organic revenue growth1 was 33% and 4% year-over-year
  • Business Payments revenue growth and normalized organic revenue growth1 was 32% and 19% year-over-year
  • KUBRA contributed approximately $21 million of revenue during the quarter (for June 2026), representing 5% year-over-year growth compared to June 2025
  • Now reaches over 352 software partners across our Consumer and Business Payment verticals, which includes 54 partners from the KUBRA acquisition
  • Accelerated AP supplier network to over 731,000, an increase of approximately 66% year-over-year

1 Organic revenue growth and normalized organic revenue growth are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliations to their most comparable GAAP measure provided below for additional information.

2026 Outlook

“With a solid strong first half behind us, we are confident in achieving the 2026 Outlook,” said Robert Houser, Chief Financial Officer of REPAY. "The progress is evident as we move into the second half of 2026. As we work through implementations and continue our sales momentum, REPAY has the teams in place for organic growth to accelerate into double-digits and offers a complete platform for additional value creation opportunities with KUBRA. The combined free cash flow generation and expected synergy realization gives us confidence in obtaining our net leverage target of returning below 3x over the next 18 months."

As we previously provided in the press release announcing the closing of the KUBRA acquisition on June 1st, REPAY updated its outlook for full year 2026 to incorporate KUBRA’s expected contributions for the remaining seven months of the year. KUBRA is expected to contribute between $150 million and $154 million in revenue and between $27.5 million and $30 million in Adjusted EBITDA during 2026. On an organic basis, REPAY expects approximately 10% to 12% revenue growth. REPAY is reiterating the 2026 outlook presented at that time and continues to expect the following financial results for full year 2026:

 

Full Year 2026 Outlook

Revenue

$490 - 500 million

Adjusted EBITDA

$168.5 - 176 million

Free Cash Flow Conversion

30%

Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion

35%

REPAY does not provide quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking, non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow Conversion and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion, 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 a significant impact on such calculations, and providing them may imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or potentially misleading.

Segments

The Company reports its financial results based on two reportable segments.

Consumer Payments The Consumer Payments segment provides an end-to-end bill payment platform, including bill design & presentment, communication services, and payment processing solutions (including debit and credit card processing, ACH processing and other electronic payment acceptance solutions, as well as our loan disbursement product) that enable the Company’s clients to notify, distribute billing statements, collect payments, and disburse funds to consumers and includes the Company’s clearing and settlement solutions (“RCS”) offering. RCS is the Company’s proprietary clearing and settlement platform through which the Company markets customizable payment processing programs to other Independent Sales Organizations (“ISOs”) and payment facilitators. In addition, the Company provides professional services to clients for customization and configuration of the product suite offering. The strategic vertical markets served by the Consumer Payments segment primarily include utilities, personal loans, automotive loans, government, receivables management, financial institutions, credit unions, mortgage servicing, consumer healthcare, insurance, and diversified retail.

Business Payments The Business Payments segment provides payment processing solutions (including accounts payable automation, debit and credit card processing, virtual credit card processing, ACH processing and other electronic payment acceptance solutions) that enable REPAY’s clients to collect payments from or send payments to other businesses. The strategic vertical markets served within the Business Payments segment primarily include retail automotive, education, field services, governments and municipalities, healthcare, media, homeowner association management and hospitality.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to evaluate the Company’s operating business, measure performance, and make strategic decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income prior to interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to add back certain charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as gain on extinguishment of debt, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities, share-based compensation charges, transaction expenses, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs, loss on business disposition and other non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by GAAP revenue. 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 charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses, such as non-cash impairment loss, non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities, share-based compensation expense, transaction expenses, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs, other non-recurring charges, non-cash interest expense and net of tax effect associated with these adjustments. 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 REPAY excludes amortization from acquisition-related intangibles from its 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. Adjusted Net Income per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of the outstanding units exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (excluding shares subject to forfeiture). Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net cash flow provided by operating activities less total capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow Conversion represents Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted Free Cash Flow represents Free Cash Flow plus technology, merger and integration costs. Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion represents Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA. Organic revenue growth represents year-over-year revenue growth that excludes incremental revenue attributable to acquisitions and dispositions made in the applicable prior period or any subsequent period. Normalized organic revenue growth represents year-over-year organic revenue growth that excludes incremental gross profit attributable to political media spending associated with the 2026 election cycle in our media payments business. REPAY believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Conversion, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion, organic revenue growth and normalized organic revenue growth provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as management. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating profit, net cash provided by operating activities, 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 as the same 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 REPAY’s non-GAAP financial measures alongside other financial performance measures, including net income, net cash provided by operating activities and REPAY’s other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
