Total revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $427.1 million, an increase of 8%, compared to $396.4 million in the prior year period, reflecting 7% growth in total payment volume. Excluding a $1.4 million favorable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates, total revenue increased 7%. Revenue from the Merchant Solutions segment increased 11%, reflecting double-digit growth in e-commerce as well as growth from small and medium-sized businesses ("SMBs") driven by initiatives to expand our sales capabilities and optimize the portfolio. Revenue from the Digital Wallets segment increased 4% both as reported and in constant currency, supported by ongoing initiatives related to product and consumer engagement as well as growth from merchants onboarded in 2023.
Net loss for the third quarter increased to $13.0 million, compared to $2.5 million in the prior year period, largely reflecting an increase in other expenses due to a loss on foreign exchange.
Adjusted net income for the third quarter decreased 11% to $31.4 million, compared to $35.3 million in the prior year period, reflecting an increase in depreciation and amortization expense as well as an increase in the adjusted effective tax rate.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $117.8 million, an increase of 1%, compared to $116.1 million in the prior year period, primarily reflecting revenue growth, partially offset by incremental expenses related to previously announced initiatives to expand the sales team and optimize the portfolio.
Third quarter operating cash flow was $81.9 million, compared to $102.2 million in the prior year period, which was mainly driven by movements in working capital. Unlevered free cash flow was $89.9 million, compared to $110.3 million in the prior year period.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2024, total cash and cash equivalents were $241.4 million, total debt was $2.4 billion and net debt was $2.2 billion. Compared to December 31, 2023, total debt decreased by $70.4 million, reflecting net repayments of $72.5 million as well as movement in foreign exchange rates.

(1) | During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company elected to change its presentation of the cash flows associated with "Settlement receivables, net" and "Funds payable and amounts due to customers" from operating activities, to present them as financing activities within its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Comparative amounts have been recast to conform to current period presentation. These recasts had no impact on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, Consolidated Statements of Financial Position or Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity. |
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.
