2022 Outlook
Paya provides the following revenue, gross margin, and adjusted EBITDA guidance for the full year 2022. This outlook assumes no further unanticipated impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.

(1) Non-GAAP measure. See below for definition. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation for forward looking guidance of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most closely comparable GAAP measure, because certain material reconciling items, such as depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and acquisition expenses, cannot be estimated due to factors outside of the Company’s control and could have a material impact on the reported results. Accordingly a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside our control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this press release may include, for example, our future financial performance.
The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. You should not place undue reliance on such statements as we cannot assure you that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to: exposure to economic conditions and political risk affecting the consumer loan market and consumer and commercial spending; the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic (including supply chain constraints, labor shortages and inflationary pressure) and the actions taken to control or mitigate its spread (which impacts are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated or predicted at this time); competition; the ability of our business to grow and manage growth profitably; changes in applicable laws or regulations; changes in the payment processing market in which Paya competes, including with respect to its competitive landscape, technology evolution or regulatory changes; changes in the vertical markets that Paya targets; risks relating to Paya’s relationships within the payment ecosystem; risk that Paya may not be able to execute its growth strategies, including identifying and executing acquisitions; risks relating to data security; changes in accounting policies applicable to Paya; the risk that Paya may not be able to develop and maintain effective internal controls and other risks and uncertainties; and other risks and uncertainties discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures including Payment Volume, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Segment gross profit (revenue less cost of services excluding depreciation and amortization) and Segment gross profit margin. Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are contained herein. To the extent required, statements disclosing the definitions, utility and purposes of these measures are also set forth herein.
We have included Payment Volume, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Segment gross profit (revenue less cost of services excluding depreciation and amortization) and Segment gross profit margin, which are measurements not calculated in accordance with US GAAP, in the discussion of our financial results because they are key metrics used by management to assess financial performance.
Definitions:
Payment volume is defined as the total dollar amount of all payments processed by our customers through our services.
Gross profit represents revenue less cost of services excluding depreciation and amortization.
Segment gross profit represents segment revenue less cost of services excluding depreciation and amortization.
Segment gross profit margin represents segment gross profit as a percentage of total segment revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest and other expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or EBITDA and further adjustments to EBITDA to exclude certain non-cash items and other non-recurring items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations to come to Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted Net Income represents net income (loss) adjusted to exclude amortization and certain non-cash items and other non-recurring items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations to come to Adjusted Net Income.
Adjusted Earnings Per Share represents earnings per share adjusted for non-recurring items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations to come to Adjusted Earnings Per Share.
Utility and Purposes:
The Company discloses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Segment Gross Profit and Segment Gross Profit Margin because these non-GAAP measures are key measures used by its management to evaluate our business, measure its operating performance and make strategic decisions. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Segment Gross Profit and Segment Gross Profit Margin are useful for investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operations results in the same manner as its management. However, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Segment Gross Profit and Segment Gross Profit Margin are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, income before income taxes, earnings per share, or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Using these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze our business would have material limitations because the calculations are based on the subjective determination of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find significant. In addition, although other companies in our industry may report measures titled EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Segment Gross Profit and Segment Gross Profit Margin, or similar measures, such non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from how we calculate non-GAAP financial measures, which reduces their overall usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, you should consider EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Segment Gross Profit and Segment Gross Profit Margin alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
