Fourth Quarter 2023 Results
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $414.5 million, an increase of 8%, compared to $383.6 million in the prior year period, reflecting 8% growth in total payment volume. Excluding an $8.6 million favorable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates, total revenue increased 6%. Revenue from the Merchant Solutions segment increased 9%, led by double-digit growth from e-commerce solutions. Revenue from the Digital Wallets segment increased 8% on a reported basis and 3% on a constant currency basis, as a decline from eCash solutions was more than offset by double-digit growth from classic digital wallets, partly reflecting the Company's initiatives to increase consumer engagement and merchant checkout conversion rates. Growth from the Digital Wallets segment was also supported by new product features and interest revenue on consumer deposits.
Net loss attributable to the Company for the fourth quarter was $12.1 million, compared to $33.7 million in the prior year period. The decrease in net loss primarily reflects growth in operating income, including a decrease in share-based compensation expense, partly offset by an increase in tax expense.
Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter increased 23% to $40.9 million, compared to $33.1 million in the prior year period as strong growth in Adjusted EBITDA more than offset higher depreciation and amortization expense, excluding the amortization of acquired intangibles.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $121.7 million, an increase of 13%, compared to $107.6 million in the prior year period. Excluding a $2.6 million favorable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates, Adjusted EBITDA increased 11% compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting revenue growth, operating leverage and lower credit losses.
Fourth quarter operating cash flow was $61.6 million, compared to $64.1 million in the prior year period. Unlevered free cash flow was $89.6 million, compared to $99.9 million in the prior year period, which was mainly driven by movements in working capital.
Full Year 2023 Results
Total revenue for the full year 2023 was $1,601.1 million, an increase of 7%, compared to $1,496.1 million in the prior year. Excluding a $16.3 million favorable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates, total revenue increased 6% compared to the prior year. Revenue from the Merchant Solutions segment increased 7%. Revenue from the Digital Wallets segment increased 7% on a reported basis and 5% on a constant currency basis. Growth drivers for the full year 2023 were consistent with those in the fourth quarter of 2023, driven by Paysafe's

e-commerce solutions and classic digital wallets, including the benefit of interest revenue earned on consumer deposits, coupled with continued growth and resilience in the U.S. SMB market.
Net loss attributable to the Company for the full year 2023 was $20.3 million, compared to $1,862.7 million in the prior year. The decrease in net loss was largely attributable to non-cash charges related to the impairment of goodwill and intangibles recognized in 2022, as well as a decrease in restructuring expense, partly offset by the recognition of income tax expense in 2023, compared to an income tax benefit in 2022, as well as a decrease in other income.
Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2023 was $458.7 million, an increase of 12%, compared to $410.0 million in the prior year. Excluding an $5.6 million favorable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates, Adjusted EBITDA increased 11%, primarily reflecting revenue growth, operating leverage and lower credit losses.
Adjusted net income for the full year 2023 increased 5% to $143.9 million, compared to $137.0 million in the prior year. The increase in adjusted net income was largely attributable to the same factors that contributed to growth in Adjusted EBITDA, partly offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization expense, excluding the amortization of acquired intangibles, and an increase in interest expense.
Operating cash flow for 2023 was $234.0 million, compared to $237.2 million in the prior year. Unlevered free cash flow increased to $318.3 million, compared to $295.8 million in the prior year due to movements in working capital, partly offset by an increase in capital expenditures.
Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2023, total cash and cash equivalents were $202.3 million, total debt was $2.5 billion and net debt was $2.3 billion. Compared to December 31, 2022, total debt decreased by $141.6 million, reflecting net repayments of $174.3 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 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”).
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 intangible 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 intangible 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
10
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.
