First Quarter of 2025 Summary of Consolidated Results
Three Months Ended
March 31,
----------------------
($ in thousands) (unaudited) 2025 2024
----------- --------
Revenue $ 401,000 $417,738
Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and
amortization) $ 226,819 $247,365
Net (loss) / income $ (19,472) $ 3,056
Adjusted EBITDA $ 95,170 $111,916
Adjusted net income $ 20,913 $ 35,306
Reported revenue for the first quarter of 2025 was $401.0 million, a decrease of 4%, compared to $417.7 million in the prior year period, reflecting a decrease of 6% from the Merchant Solutions segment driven by the business disposal, as well as a 2% decline from the Digital Wallets segment driven by a decrease in interest revenue on consumer deposits and unfavorable foreign exchange rates. Organic revenue growth was 5%, reflecting 6% organic growth from Merchant Solutions and 3% organic growth from Digital Wallets.
Net loss for the first quarter was $19.5 million, compared to net income of $3.1 million in the prior year period, largely driven by a decrease in revenue, a decrease in other income related to lower gains on foreign exchange, and an increase in restructuring and legal costs. This was partially offset by the recognition of an income tax benefit in the current period as well as a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, including lower credit losses.
Adjusted net income for the first quarter decreased to $20.9 million, compared to $35.3 million in the prior year period, mainly reflecting the decline in Adjusted EBITDA and an increase in the adjusted effective tax rate resulting from the inclusion of the base erosion and anti-abuse tax ("BEAT") provision in the current period.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter decreased to $95.2 million, compared to $111.9 million in the prior year period, reflecting the business disposal in addition to business mix and lower interest revenue, which were unfavorable to gross profit margin.
The combined headwinds from movement in foreign exchange rates and interest revenue on consumer deposits to first quarter revenue and Adjusted EBITDA were $9.3 million (2 percentage-points) and $5.4 million (5 percentage-points), respectively.
First quarter operating cash flow was $52.5 million, compared to $58.8 million in the prior year period. Unlevered free cash flow was $57.3 million, compared to $69.2 million in the prior year period.
Balance Sheet
As of March 31, 2025, total cash and cash equivalents were $234.3 million, total debt was $2.4 billion and net debt was $2.2 billion. Compared to December 31, 2024, total debt increased by $21.1 million, reflecting net repayments of $26.8 million as well as movement in foreign exchange rates.

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.
