August 12, 2026 4:00 PM

Revenue, Earnings per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA1 beat Consensus Estimates

Revenue up 19%, Adjusted EBITDA1 up 128%

Raises Fiscal 2026 Revenue Guidance, Revenues Now Expected to be up 14-16%

Total payment dollars processed through all payment channels up 27%

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 12, 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Louis Hoch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Usio, said, “The second quarter built upon a record start to the new year, with all of our key performance indicators showing sustained growth. I am particularly pleased with our bottom line, which we have been intently focused on improving, where Adjusted EBITDA1 was up 128% from a year ago and GAAP net income was approximately $0.3 million, or $0.01 per share. Revenue growth accelerated sequentially from the first quarter, up 19% versus the prior year period with all of Card, ACH and Output Solutions generating over 20% growth in the quarter. Total processing transactions set new records, led by 34% transaction growth in ACH during the quarter. Our financial condition and liquidity remain strong. Consequently, based on our extremely strong first half of the fiscal year and confidence in our new business opportunities, we have raised our expectations for our top line growth, with full year revenues now expected to be up 14 to 16% compared to the prior year, an increase from the previously expected 10 to 12%.”

Results in the second quarter were led by a 28% increase in credit card revenues where volumes were up strongly, with dollars processed up 13% and transactions processed up 19% from a year ago. PayFac revenues were up 43% in the quarter and continue to comprise over three quarters of credit card revenues, which has precipitated the inflection in credit card's growth trajectory. ACH, our highest margin business, had another record quarter. Revenues were up 21% on record transaction volume, which was up 34%, and as the result of our growing RTP business and strong PINless debit growth. Further penetration of the mortgage servicing and fintech industries as well as the addition of new accounts continues to fuel ACH growth.

Output Solutions had an outstanding quarter, with 22% revenue growth in the second quarter of 2026 over the same period last year, sequentially improving from 19% in the previous quarter. Volumes were at record levels with electronic documents processed and delivered up 49% and total pieces printed and mailed up 43%.

For the quarter, gross profits were up over 11%, with gross margins at 24% in the quarter, a sequential improvement from 20% in the first quarter of 2026. Gross margins were down nominally versus the prior year period, primarily attributable to a decrease in interest revenue (which has a 100% margin) and revenue mix. Total selling, general and administrative expenses, inclusive of depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation ("Total SG&A Expenses"), were down approximately $190,000 from the year ago period, while "SG&A," consisting of selling, general and administrative expenses only, was down nominally at 1% from the year ago quarter.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported net income of approximately $0.3 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of ($0.4) million, or ($0.01) per share, for the second quarter of 2025. Note that there were no extraordinary items that contributed to the second quarter 2026 net income as calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA1 was $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, more than double the $0.5 million in the same quarter a year ago. The Company used approximately $371,000 to repurchase 281,000 shares of its common stock in the six months ended June 30, 2026. Cash was in excess of $6.4 million at June 30, 2026, down over the six months, with the decrease being related to some annual cash outlays occurring in the period. In addition, cash was used for leasehold improvements and integration of our new Output Solutions printer in the second quarter, which helped accelerate Output Solutions revenues.

Quarterly Processing and Transaction Volumes

Total payment dollars processed through all payment channels in the second quarter of 2026 were $2.47 billion, an increase of 27% over the $1.94 billion processed in last year's second quarter. Total payment transactions processed in the second quarter of 2026 were 17.9 million, an increase of 27% over the same quarter of last year.

Our credit card segment continues to grow, where dollars processed in the second quarter of 2026 were up 13% and transactions processed were up 19% from the year ago quarter. In the second quarter of 2026, ACH electronic check transaction volume was up 34%, setting a new quarterly transaction record for the fifth consecutive quarter, while electronic check dollars processed were up 28% and return check transactions processed were up 35%, in each case, compared to the same quarter of 2025. In our prepaid card services business unit, card load volume was flat, and transactions processed were down 4%; however, purchase volume was up 11% for the second quarter of 2026, in each case, compared to the same quarter of 2025. Output Solutions pieces processed and mailed were up 43% while electronic documents processed and delivered were up 49% for the second quarter of 2026, in each case, compared to the same quarter of 2025.

Second Quarter 2026 Revenue Detail

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 were $23.7 million, up 19% from $20.0 million in the prior year quarter, due to increases in all of our business lines, excluding prepaid card services. Interest revenues were also lower. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $49.1 million, up 17% from $42.0 million in the prior year period, once again due to increases in all of our business lines, excluding prepaid card services, and lower interest revenues.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 was $5.7 million, up 11% versus $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2025. Gross margins (defined as gross profit as a percentage of total revenues) were 24.2% in the second quarter of 2026, down versus 25.8% in the second quarter of 2025. This was primarily due to lower interest revenues, a high margin revenue source, and revenue mix.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $10.9 million, up 9% versus $9.9 million in the first half of 2025. Gross margins were 22.1% in the first half of 2026, down versus 23.7% in the first half of 2025. This was primarily due to lower interest revenues, a high margin revenue source, and revenue mix.

Total SG&A Expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $5.3 million, down from $5.5 million in the year ago quarter primarily due to lower depreciation and amortization expense.

Total SG&A Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $10.3 million, down from $10.6 million in the comparable year ago period primarily due to lower depreciation and amortization. SG&A was $8.9 million for the first half of 2026 compared to $8.8 million in the comparable prior year period. This nominal increase in SG&A was primarily related to increases in salary alongside increases in network infrastructure and professional fees that occurred in the first quarter of 2026.

For the second quarter of 2026, we reported operating income of $0.4 million compared to an operating loss of ($0.4) million for the same quarter a year ago, primarily due to increased revenues and gross profits, alongside a decrease in Total SG&A Expenses. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to Adjusted EBITDA1 of $0.5 million for the same quarter a year ago. Net income in the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was approximately $0.3 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of ($0.4) million, or ($0.01) per share, for the same period in the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we reported operating income of $0.6 million compared to an operating loss of ($0.6) million for the same period a year ago, primarily due to increased revenues and gross profits, alongside a decrease in Total SG&A Expenses. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to Adjusted EBITDA1 of $1.2 million for the same period a year ago. Net income in the six months ended June 30, 2026 was approximately $0.4 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of ($0.6) million, or ($0.02) per share, for the same period in the prior year.

Operating Cash Flows declined to $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $1.1 million in the same period a year ago. The year ago period benefited from an approximately $1.5 million tax refund. Additionally, accounts receivable at June 30, 2026 was up as compared to December 31, 2025, reflecting our strong revenue growth.

We believe we continue to be in solid financial condition. Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026 were $6.4 million, a $1.0 million decrease over cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025, due to items occurring once annually such as payment of state taxes and insurance, alongside some one-time cash outlays related to leasehold improvements and integration of our new Output Solutions printer in the second quarter. This was in addition to the use of over $371,000 to repurchase 281,000 shares of our common stock during the six months ended June 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.

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 margins. 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.

Management believes presenting EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margins 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 margins 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 margins 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.
