Repay Holdings (NASDAQ:RPAY) released preliminary, unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2026 on Monday, April 27, while simultaneously raising its full-year profitability outlook.
The Atlanta-based payment provider cited robust growth in its business-to-business segment and a strategic partner buyout as primary catalysts for the improved guidance.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, REPAY expects to report total revenue between $80.5 million and $81.0 million, representing a 4% year-over-year increase.
While Consumer Payments grew at a steady 4% clip, the Company’s Business Payments segment outperformed significantly, posting approximately 18% growth.
Preliminary adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to land between $33.8 million and $34.3 million, reflecting a strong 42% margin.
The quarter was bolstered by the completion of a buyout of a strategic distribution partner.
This transaction involved a one-time cash payment but is expected to have a sustained positive impact on adjusted EBITDA moving forward.
Consequently, REPAY raised its full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA outlook, now targeting a range of $141 million to $146 million, which implies an annual margin of approximately 42%.
Management also reiterated its full-year revenue guidance of $340 million to $346 million.
Notably, this outlook does not yet factor in contributions from the pending $372 million acquisition of KUBRA, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026.
