Usio Reports Strong Third Quarter 2026 Results; Adjusted EBITDA(1) Increases 222%

GAAP Net Income Increases by over $632,000 Year-Over-Year to $217,000, or $0.01 Per Share

Revenue Increases 12%; Gross Profit Increases 18%; Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 Expands to 5.0%

Nine-Month Operating Cash Flow Increases 133% to $3.3 Million

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Usio, Inc., “Usio” or the “Company” (Nasdaq: USIO), a leading FinTech company that operates a full stack of integrated, cloud-based electronic payment and embedded financial solutions, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Louis Hoch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Usio, said, “It was another strong quarter for Usio, with revenue increasing 12% and Adjusted EBITDA1 rising 222%, driven by sustained transaction growth and improving operating leverage. Total payment dollars processed increased 25% to $2.73 billion, while total payment transactions grew 27% to 20.7 million. ACH transactions increased 39%, setting a new quarterly record for the sixth consecutive quarter. Importantly, this growth is translating into meaningful bottom-line improvement. Adjusted EBITDA margin1 expanded to 5.0% from 1.7% a year ago, GAAP operating income improved by approximately $743,000, and we delivered our third consecutive quarter of positive GAAP net income. For the first nine months of 2026, Adjusted EBITDA1 more than doubled, while operating cash flow increased 133% to $3.3 million. Consequently, we are re-iterating our guidance of 14-16% revenue growth versus the prior year, alongside record Adjusted EBITDA1.”

Mr. Hoch continued, “Looking ahead, we are particularly encouraged by the opportunities presented by Usio Ion and our recently announced strategic partnership with Harris Computer. Ion has the potential to deepen our existing customer relationships, expand our third-party owned deposit base and generate incremental high-margin interest revenue, while our preferred payments provider relationship with Harris expands our reach into the utility market. We believe both initiatives can contribute meaningfully to our long-term growth and operating leverage as adoption and implementation progress. It is exciting to soon enter 2027 with these two catalysts on top of the organic growth we are already experiencing.”

Results in the third quarter were led by an 18% increase in credit card revenues on the strength of a 29% increase in PayFac revenues, which now account for more than 75% of total credit card revenues. ACH, our highest margin business, had another record quarter. Revenues were up 9% primarily due to record ACH transaction volume, which was up 39%, alongside record RTP volume and continued strong PINless debit growth. ACH has benefitted from new account growth and strong volumes in the education market. Output Solutions had an outstanding quarter with revenue growing 14%. Volumes were at record levels with electronic documents processed and delivered up 28% and total pieces printed and mailed up 7%. In addition, third quarter prepaid card services revenues were up from a year ago, the first quarterly increase this year. Prepaid card services also experienced increased volumes, providing further momentum to the recovery in revenues.

Reflective of the Company’s increasing operating leverage, gross profit was up approximately 18% to $5.7 million in the third quarter, with gross margins expanding to 24.1% from 23.0% in the prior-year quarter. Third quarter total selling, general and administrative expenses, inclusive of depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation (“Total SG&A Expenses”), increased only approximately 2% year-over-year, while declining for the first nine months of 2026 compared to the prior-year period. This disciplined expense management was achieved while continuing to invest in back-office operations and network infrastructure to support sustainable growth.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the Company reported GAAP net income of approximately $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of ($0.4) million, or ($0.02) per share, for the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2026, up 222% from the same quarter a year ago. Operating cash flow more than doubled to approximately $3.3 million for the first nine months of 2026, an increase of 133%, despite the prior-year period benefiting from nearly $1.5 million in one-time employee retention tax credit collections that were not present in the current year period. Cash was in excess of $7.3 million at September 30, 2026, an increase of approximately $900,000 over the past three months. The Company used approximately $499,000 to repurchase 327,000 shares of its common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Quarterly Processing and Transaction Volumes

Total payment dollars processed through all payment channels in the third quarter of 2026 were $2.73 billion, an increase of 25% over the $2.18 billion processed in last year’s third quarter. Total payment transactions processed in the third quarter of 2026 were 20.7 million, an increase of 27% over the same quarter of last year. 

Our credit card segment continues to grow, where dollars processed in the third quarter of 2026 were up 7% and transactions processed were up 17% from the year ago quarter. In the third quarter of 2026, ACH electronic check transaction volume was up 39%, setting a new quarterly transaction volume record for the sixth consecutive quarter, while electronic check dollars processed were up 26% and return check transactions processed were up 44%, in each case, compared to the same quarter of 2025. In our prepaid card services business unit during the third quarter of 2026, card load volume was up 6%, and transactions processed were down 2%; however, purchase volume was up 17% for the third quarter of 2026, in each case, compared to the same quarter of 2025. Output Solutions pieces processed and mailed were up 7% while electronic documents processed and delivered were up 28% for the third quarter of 2026, in each case, compared to the same quarter of 2025.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2026 was $5.7 million, up 18% versus $4.9 million in the third quarter of 2025. Gross margins (defined as gross profit as a percentage of total revenues) were 24.1% in the third quarter of 2026, up versus 23.0% in the third quarter of 2025. This was primarily due to revenue mix, as our higher margin business lines contributed proportionally more revenue in the quarter.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $16.6 million, up 12% versus $14.8 million in the first nine months of 2025. Gross margins were 22.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, down versus 23.5% in the corresponding period of 2025. This was primarily due to revenue mix and lower interest revenues, a high margin revenue source.

Total SG&A Expenses for the third quarter of 2026 were $5.5 million, an increase of approximately 2% compared to $5.3 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting continued investments in back-office operations and network infrastructure. Notably, Total SG&A Expenses grew significantly slower than revenue and gross profit, demonstrating the Company’s increasing operating leverage. SG&A expense for the third quarter of 2026 was up marginally from the corresponding prior year quarter, primarily due to increases in salary alongside increases in network infrastructure and professional fees.

Total SG&A Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $15.7 million, down 1% versus the corresponding year ago period primarily due to lower depreciation and amortization expense offsetting slightly higher SG&A expenses. SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were up marginally from the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to increases in salary alongside increases in network infrastructure and professional fees.

For the third quarter of 2026, we reported operating income of $0.3 million compared to an operating loss of ($0.5) million for the same quarter a year ago, primarily due to increased revenues and gross profit, offsetting a nominal increase in Total SG&A Expenses. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to Adjusted EBITDA1 of $0.4 million for the same quarter a year ago. Net income in the quarter ended September 30, 2026 was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of ($0.4) million, or ($0.02) per share, for the same period in the prior year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we reported operating income of $0.9 million compared to an operating loss of ($1.1) million for the same period a year ago, primarily due to increased revenues and gross profit, alongside a decrease in Total SG&A Expenses. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to Adjusted EBITDA1 of $1.5 million for the same period a year ago. Net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was approximately $0.6 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to a net loss of ($1.0) million, or ($0.04) per share, for the same period in the prior year.

Operating cash flow increased 133% to $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $1.4 million in the same period of 2025, supported by improved profitability. Notably, the prior-year period benefited from nearly $1.5 million in one-time employee retention tax credit collections that were not present in the current year period.

We believe we continue to be in solid financial condition. Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2026 were $7.3 million with minimal long-term debt. Cash this year has been used for capital expenditures, primarily Output Solutions equipment. In addition, approximately $499,000 in cash was used to repurchase 327,000 shares of our common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Comparisons

Unless otherwise indicated, all comparisons and growth rates represent year-over-year comparisons, with the quarterly period of this year compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to the corresponding nine-month period of the prior year.


About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in Regulation G adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company reports its financial results in compliance with GAAP, but believes that also discussing non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it provides them with financial measures the Company uses in the management of its business.

• The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss), before interest income, interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangibles.
• The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, as defined above, less other income, plus non-cash stock-based compensation and certain non-recurring items, such as costs related to acquisitions.
• The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, divided by total revenues.

Management believes presenting EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin is helpful to investors in evaluating the Company’s operating performance because non-cash costs and other items that management believes are not indicative of its results of operations are excluded. 

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. They are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to revenue, net income, or cash provided by (used in) operating activities, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other businesses. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP.
