In Q3, Paysafe reported revenue of $396.4 million, up 8% year-on-year. This increase represents a 5% increase on a constant currency basis, the company added. This figure notably marks the fifth consecutive year-on-year quarterly revenue growth.

In addition, the company reported adjusted EBITDA of $116.1 million for the period, which equates to an increase of 22%, or an increase of 18% on a constant currency basis.

Adjusted net income for the period was $35.3 million, or $0.57 per diluted share. For comparison, the company recorded an adjusted net income of $29.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share in the prior-year period.

Net loss for the period was $2.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. This figure is more than double what the company recorded in Q3 2022 when it posted a net loss of $1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.

In addition, Paysafe reported a total payment volume of $35.1 billion, which represents an increase of 8%. This figure notably excludes embedded wallet-related volumes of $3.9 billion and $10.4 billion in the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Finally, the company reported that net leverage declined to 5.1x as of September 30.

The Company Maintains a Strong Momentum

In addition to publishing its financial results, the company highlighted some of its most notable financial achievements in the third quarter of the year. These included the authorization of a $50 million share repurchase program.

Paysafe also continued its sales transformation and advanced priorities across client experience and product innovation. The company continued to drive improvements to its wallet portfolio, improving both merchant and end-customer experience.

Paysafe also received a number of accolades, including the Best Digital Wallet award at The Digital Banker’s Global Payments Innovation Awards 2023. The payments specialist was also named Payment Provider of the Year by Gambling.com and the American Gambling Awards. It was also included in CNBC’s list of the best digital financial technology companies in the world.
