Priority Technology reports strong Q4 growth as adjusted gross profit surges 19%

Priority Technology Holdings (NASDAQ:PRTH), a payments and banking fintech, reported robust financial results for the fourth quarter of 2025 on Tuesday.

The company’s "unified commerce" strategy—which integrates merchant acquiring, automated payables, and treasury management—continues to drive diversified revenue growth and significant margin expansion.

Revenue for the fourth quarter reached $247.1 million, an 8.8% increase over the $227.1 million reported in the same period last year.

Notably, 6.8% of this growth was organic, reflecting deep penetration into its core small-to-medium business (SMB) and B2B enterprise segments.

The company’s focus on high-value software-integrated payments led to an outsized gain in profitability.

Adjusted gross profit rose 19.4% to $100.2 million, while adjusted gross profit margin expanded by 360 basis points to reach 40.6%.

This margin improvement was primarily attributed to a favorable shift in product mix toward the company's proprietary B2B and "Banking-as-a-Service" (BaaS) platforms.

Priority’s bottom-line performance also showed strength; adjusted EBITDA grew 16.2% to $60.1 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) jumped 50% to $0.27.

While operating income saw a slight 1.9% decrease to $33.5 million—largely due to increased investments in product engineering and acquisition integration—the company remains confident in its operational leverage.
