“I am proud to report another strong quarter that demonstrates our team's focus on execution,” said Drucker. “We are winning in our traditional and ecommerce markets while also investing for the future. Our partnerships with leading technology providers enable us to bring innovative value-added solutions to the market and strategically position us as a partner of choice for financial institutions and merchants. Further, the debt refinancing and share repurchase that we completed during the quarter as well as the pending acquisition of Element demonstrate our commitments to growth and to our shareholders.”
