Usio's shares surged 21.1% post-earnings, driven by record revenue growth, significant gains in payment volumes, and positive adjusted EBITDA that outpaced expectations.
- Revenue increased 16% year-over-year, hitting the highest quarterly revenue in company history.
- Total payments dollars processed rose 28%, with transactions up 22%, underscoring strong underlying volume growth.
- Card revenue led with a 23% increase, driven by PayFac representing 78% of card revenues and successful new enterprise account implementations.
- Margins declined due to reduced interest income (which carries 100% gross margin) and revenue mix effects; management expects eventual margin improvement.
- Operating cash flow remained positive at over $7.7 million, with overhead expenses modestly reduced sequentially, reflecting operating leverage.
