HERZLIYA, Israel, Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nayax Ltd. (NASDAQ:NYAX, TASE: NYAX)), a global commerce payments and loyalty platform designed to help merchants scale their business, today announced its financial results for the third quarter, ended September 30, 2024.

"This quarter's results showcase our continued momentum and success, driven by our focus on profitable growth. We're excited to report record revenue, a net profit for the quarter, positive free cash flow, and a growing base of customers as well as our managed and connected devices. This quarter marks an exciting inflection point for Nayax, with key milestones that reflect the hard work and dedication of our global team. We saw strong momentum across our business, with record revenue of $83 million, a 38% year-over-year increase, and 49% year-over-year growth in recurring revenues. Our focus on automation and efficiency is clearly paying off, enabling us to grow profitably into the foreseeable future. With a growing customer base of approximately 91,000 and an expanded global reach through key partnerships, we're confident in our ability to keep delivering value to customers and shareholders. We look forward to building on this success as we enter our next phase of profitable growth," commented Yair Nechmad, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.

^{(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure. Please refer to the tables at the end of this news release for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.}

^{(2) The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to IFRS net income (loss) due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, in particular, because special items such as finance expenses and Issuance and acquisition costs used to calculate projected net income (loss) vary dramatically based on actual events. Therefore, the Company is not able to forecast on an IFRS basis with reasonable certainty all deductions needed in order to provide an IFRS calculation of projected net income (loss) at this time. The amount of these deductions may be material, and therefore could result in projected IFRS net income (loss) being materially less than projected adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS).}

Recent Business Highlights

Partnered with Adyen to globally expand its electric vehicle (EV) charging and automated self-service payments infrastructure. This partnership introduces the world's first global omnichannel payment service provider solution for EV charging, integrating Nayax's payment and loyalty platform into Adyen's international platform. Additionally, this global partnership enables Nayax to expand into new regions, such as Latin America and APAC, while reducing operational costs.
Announced a strategic partnership with A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. to integrate Nayax's automated self-service mobile payment system with A2Z Cust2Mate's cart platform for smart retail stores. This collaboration enables customers to complete their shopping journey directly from their smart cart, eliminating the need for checkout lines, with a seamless "pick-and-go" experience.
Launched the Nayax Energy EV Kiosk, a payment processing solution for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. This kiosk allows drivers to have a seamless and fast payment experience while charging their vehicles using credit cards, debit cards, or mobile wallets without needing individual payment devices on each charger. It is part of Nayax Energy's broader offerings for various locations, such as parking garages, gas stations, and shopping centers.

Financial Outlook

Management is modifying revenue guidance to a range of $315 million to $320 million dollars, reflecting 35% growth at the midpoint, on a constant currency basis. This reduction is largely due to the timing of some new product certifications, which we now expect to be completed by the end of 2024 and beginning of 2025. This is a slight adjustment from our prior guidance of $325 million to $335 million dollars.

We expect continued improvement in hardware gross margins this year, driven by economies of scale, optimized pricing, and cost efficiencies. As a result, management is again raising our hardware margin guidance to exceed 30%, up from the previous range of 27% to 29%.

We reiterate our guidance for adjusted EBITDA, which remains strong at a range of $30 million to $35 million dollars for 2024, expected to be at the higher end of the range, underscoring our strong operational performance.

The company also reaffirms that free cash flow for the full year 2024, defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures, will remain positive, as demonstrated this quarter.

While we are still in the planning process for next year, we expect adjusted EBITDA to be at least 15% for 2025 driven by continued market expansion, the full integration of recent acquisitions, continuous operational optimization, and the resolution of some product certification delays, unlocking associated revenue.

On a long-term basis, management continues to target annual revenue growth of approximately 35%, driven by a combination of organic growth and strategic M&A. Management also continues to target a gross margin of 50%, and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 30%.

Many of the forward-looking statements contained in this press release can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "expect," "should," "plan," "intend," "estimate" and "potential," among others. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations. Forward-looking statements are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various factors, including, but not limited to: our expectations regarding general market conditions, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and other global economic trends; changes in consumer tastes and preferences; fluctuations in inflation, interest rate and exchange rates in the global economic environment; the availability of qualified personnel and the ability to retain such personnel; changes in commodity costs, labor, distribution and other operating costs; our ability to implement our growth strategy; changes in government regulation and tax matters; other factors that may affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations; general economic, political, demographic and business conditions in Israel, including the ongoing war in Israel that began on October 7, 2023 and global perspectives regarding that conflict; the success of operating initiatives, including advertising and promotional efforts and new product and concept development by us and our competitors; and other risk factors discussed under "Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024 (our "Annual Report"). The preceding list is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all of our forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of future performance, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are only estimates based upon our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In particular, you should consider the risks provided under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or will occur. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Information

In addition to various operational metrics and financial measures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted under International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, this press release contains Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS financial measure, as a measure to evaluate our past results and future prospects.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure that we define as profit or loss for the period plus finance expenses, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation costs, non-recurring issuance and acquisition related costs and our share in losses of associates accounted for by the equity method.

We present Adjusted EBITDA in this press release because it is a measure that our management and board of directors utilize as a measure to evaluate our operating performance and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, when taken collectively with financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, may be helpful to investors because it provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, our management does not consider this non-IFRS measure in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies. The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes significant expenses that are required by IFRS to be recorded in our financial statements, as further detailed above. In addition, it is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses are excluded or included in determining Adjusted EBITDA.

A reconciliation is provided at the end of this press release for Adjusted EBITDA to net profit or loss, the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with IFRS. Investors are encouraged to review net loss and the reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA included below and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Constant Currency

Nayax presents constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. Future expected results for transactions in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars using the exchange rates in effect in the last month of the reporting period. Nayax provides this financial information to aid investors in better understanding our performance. These constant currency financial measures presented in this release should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The Company cannot provide expected 2024 net income without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net income are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, of which unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's IFRS financial results.
