Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 5, 2026

Q2 FY26

TL;DR. Deluxe reported Q2 comparable adjusted revenue growth of 2.6% and comparable adjusted EBITDA growth of 5.3%, with year-to-date free cash flow up 64.9%, and raised full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance ranges to incorporate the Celero (Solero) acquisition that closed July 31, 2026.

Bullish

+ Comparable adjusted EBITDA grew 5.3% to $108.8 million with margins expanding 60 bps to 21.8%.
+ Year-to-date free cash flow rose 64.9% to $85.9 million, supporting more than $75 million of net debt reduction.
+ Payments and Data segments together grew 9.7% in Q2 and 11% year-to-date, reaching 52% of total revenue.
+ Closed the Solero (Celero) acquisition on July 31, 2026, moving Deluxe to a top-10 non-bank merchant acquirer processing over $70 billion in annual volume across more than 210,000 merchants.
+ Pre-acquisition net leverage improved to 2.9x at quarter-end, down from 3.5x a year earlier.

Bearish

− GAAP diluted EPS declined 18% to $0.41 from $0.50 and net income fell to $19.2 million from $22.4 million, weighed by $5.6 million of one-time Celero transaction costs.
− Reported (GAAP) revenue declined 4.2% to $499.3 million due to the Safeguard business exit.
− Data Solutions guidance was held to high single-digit growth despite 21.4% Q2 growth, as the segment laps 46% and 31% prior-year comps in Q3 and Q4.
− Net leverage trajectory resets to a two-year horizon to return to 3.0x following the Solero closing and related debt-financing activities.
