Reiterates full year 2024 guidance: revenue between $325-335 million and adjusted EBITDA between $30-35 million ⁽²⁾

HERZLIYA, Israel, Aug. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nayax Ltd. ( NYAX, TASE: NYAX), a global commerce payments and loyalty platform designed to help merchants scale their business, today announced its financial results for the second quarter, ended June 30, 2024.

"I am very pleased with our second quarter results, showing another quarter of excellent execution with strong demand for our products across all segments of the market. Our second quarter results demonstrate strong top-line growth and margin expansion that we expect to continue to build on throughout the year. Our commitment towards profitable growth has yielded outstanding results, marking significant improvement in our operating profit and adjusted EBITDA. We are especially pleased with the growth in recurring revenue, improvements in gross margins and adjusted EBITDA. Our recent acquisitions in Q2 of VMtecnologia and Roseman are accretive acquisitions that will support our expanded global footprint and pipeline.

Growing synergies from all parts of our business, combined with an ongoing focus on improving margins, will continue to drive our strong growth in revenue and profitability for the foreseeable future," commented Yair Nechmad, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.

Sagit Manor, Chief Financial Officer added, “Nayax reported a solid set of quarterly financial results. We continue to grow at a fast pace, and in line with our strategy, reaching a record revenue of $78.1 million. We presented a solid increase in the number of managed and connected devices. Especially noteworthy is the strong improvement in our hardware gross margins, which were 29% compared to 19% in the second quarter of last year. We have strategically placed increased focus on leasing and rental over device sales, which will ultimately lead to a higher margin profile for our business in the mid and long term, per our guidance. Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter improved to $8.1 million and we returned to an operating profit. Looking ahead, we expect to continue our strong and profitable growth and we reiterate our full-year 2024 guidance on both top and bottom line.”

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).

• Nayax reported a return to operating profit of $0.9 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.7 million.
• Finance expenses, net, were negatively impacted by $1 million, a complete write off, due to a change in the fair value of our minority investment in Nilus, treated as a financial asset, measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Recent Business Highlights

• Nayax launched Nayax EV CloudPay, a cloud-based payments solution to help facilitate payments at electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. Many drivers currently pay for their EV charges by downloading multiple mobile apps. Since the kiosk is cloud-based, a single kiosk can facilitate the payments for multiple chargers, enabling a seamless experience for charging station operators and customers.
• Nayax’ VPOS Touch card reader won the Best Payment System award from The Vendies, an annual UK-based vending industry award. Nayax’s VPOS Touch helps operators stay on top of their business via telemetry technology that communicates with a vending management system and app. The Nayax VPOS Touch won the same award for Best Payment System in 2021 and won the Payment System of the Year award from The Vendies in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
• Nayax successfully closed the acquisition of VMtecnologia, a leading financial technology provider for the automated self-service industry in Brazil. This acquisition provides Nayax with a strong entry point into Latin America and into Brazil in particular and expands Nayax’s total addressable markets.
• Nayax successfully closed the acquisition of Roseman Engineering, a Tel-Aviv based fuel and electric vehicle (EV) management software solution provider that allows managers of gas stations to track fuel station income, reduce expenses, and increase operational efficiencies. This acquisition complements Nayax’s existing offerings utilized by EV charging station operators worldwide.

Financial Outlook

For the full year 2024, management reiterates full year revenue, adjusted EBITDA and cash flow guidance, while increasing guidance on hardware gross margins.

Full year 2024 revenue expectations continue to be in the range of $325 million to $335 million, on a constant currency basis, representing year-over-year growth of at least 38%.

Nayax management increases its guidance on hardware gross margins and now expects it to be in the range of 27% to 29%, an increase from the former range of 25% to 27%. The increase was due to various improvements implemented in recent quarters including taking advantage of economies of scale, enhanced pricing strategies and continued cost optimization initiatives as well as a positive impact from the recent acquisitions.

We expect a slight increase in operating expenses due to the addition of the recent acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA for 2024 is expected to be in the range of $30 million to $35 million, as Nayax continues to scale its business and benefit from its high operating leverage.

Management expects that for the full year 2024, free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow minus capital expenditure, will be positive in aggregate.

On a long-term basis, management targets an approximate 35% annual growth on revenue, driven by a combination of organic growth and strategic M&A. The target model for adjusted EBITDA margin is 30%, and for gross margin is 50%.

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 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 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.

1. "Swords of Iron" - War against terror organization Hamas - On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Following the attack, Israel’s government declared war against Hamas. Other terrorist organizations such as the Hezbollah in Lebanon on Israel's northern border have launched rocket attacks on Israel in support of Hamas. The military campaign against Hamas and other terrorist organizations is ongoing and could escalate in the future into a larger regional conflict.

As previously disclosed, the Israeli Competition Authority (the “ICA”) has requested from the Company documents and information related mainly to its acquisition of On Track Innovation Ltd. The Company has provided the requested information and commenced discussions with the ICA. While we cannot predict the outcome, it is likely that if our discussions with the ICA are unsuccessful, we expect the ICA would seek to take enforcement actions against the Company, which could include imposing a fine on the Company, the amount of which could be material. The dialog with the ICA continues and it is difficult to assess when or how this process will conclude, or what results it may have to the Company.
