Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us today. Our Q1 results represent a strong start to the year as we aim to capture new payment flows while enhancing client relationships with many value-added services. In Q1, we achieved organic revenue growth of 10%, organic gross profit growth of 11%, reported adjusted EBITDA growth of approximately 15%, and reported free cash flow growth of 90% plus year over year, with each metric performing in line to our expectations. In Q1, we made progress on our three main strategic initiatives which drive growth in 2024 and beyond. They include our go-to-market efficiency, client implementations, and a focus on product. This progress further enhances our vast ecosystem of payment flows, which we have combined and developed over the past decade. We pay clients value our ability to move money efficiently and easily, as well as provide omni-modality and omni-channel services with our one-stop payment technology. In addition, our vertical-specific software network allows us to embed payments directly within their in-price workflows, making the process seamless and secure to our clients. Consistent with the card networks, we continue to see growth opportunities across emerging verticals for debit card payments, such as loan repayments, commercial payments in our B2B segment, and new flows such as instant funding via Visa Direct and MassCardSend. As we continue to strengthen our technical and go-to-market relationships with our software partners, We're excited about the multi-year growth opportunities across our consumer and business payment verticals. In Q1, consumer payments organic gross profit growth was 11%. Our strong performance in Q1 was a continuation of our growth algorithm, which includes growth coming from existing clients as well as signing new clients over the past several quarters. Our growth is also aided by the ongoing secular tailwinds within our consumer payments verticals and the continued ramp of recent large client implementations. We added many new clients to our network in Q1, including 15 new credit unions, an acceleration from last quarter, bringing our total credit union clients to 291. We onboarded a larger credit union client during the quarter, which was one of the largest 50 credit unions in the United States. This partnership exemplifies our clients' continuous focus on the customer's digital experience, where enhanced payment capabilities can lead to strong operating performance and ongoing membership growth. Credit unions and community banks are a great growth driver for repay, as our vertical expertise and software integrations are a differentiated solution leading to a healthy sales pipeline to address the thousands of financial institutions in the United States. And during the quarter, we added another core software integration partner that specifically serves credit unions and banks, further positioning us well for this opportunity. In addition, accounts receivable management continues to be an attractive vertical for repay with multiple years of growth ahead. During the quarter, we signed one of the largest providers in the U.S. of outsourced accounts receivable management and loan servicing. We also expanded our software partnerships with Maxify, a provider of collections and accounts receivable management software for lenders and collection agencies. Through this integration, Repay's payment technology enables businesses to optimize and streamline payment collections directly within Maxify's software. We added three partners during the quarter in the consumer payment segment and remain focused on strengthening our software partnerships, developing our sales pipeline, and continuously improving our clients' experience. We remain on pace to go live and get processing with the previously announced large auto captive lender in late Q2 with a measured ramp throughout the second half of 2024. And lastly, in value-added services, our instant funding product continues to see great growth with transactional volume up approximately 33% year-over-year. This product offers an incredible opportunity for our clients to differentiate themselves in the marketplace by delivering quick, convenient, secure funding experiences to their customers. And over the medium term, we are evaluating new areas of expanding these capabilities. We also had a very productive quarter in the business payment segment, which grew gross profit by 17% year-over-year. Gross profit growth was driven by our implementation teams converting strong sales pipelines into the live clients that began to ramp during the quarter. In AR, we remain focused on optimizing payment acceptance with strengthening our client base through our direct sales team and ERP partners. Within AP, we grew our supplier network to over 279,000 suppliers while adding and enhancing integrations with several software partners during the quarter. In addition, we were honored to receive WEX's 2023 Spark Partner of the Year for our best-in-class partnership facilitating virtual card business-to-business payments. During the quarter, we signed many new clients across our verticals. In the hospitality vertical, we are now live with Rejoice World Las Vegas, a fully integrated premium resort on the Las Vegas Strip, and many new hospitality clients continue to onboard additional properties onto our AP automation and total pay solution. Our existing partnerships are driving new client wins within our healthcare vertical, including several regional healthcare systems located in Texas, Georgia, and Maryland. We're gaining increased traction and building a healthy sales pipeline from recent software integrations such as Sage and TAC, Microsoft Dynamics, Quadient, and Enflow. We're winning new clients as we continue to enhance our existing integrations with auto dealer software partners, and we're developing new partnerships along the way, such as EnergyCap, a leading provider of utility bill and energy management software. With our partnership, EnergyCap clients can now rely on Repay's embedded accounts payable automation within their software ecosystem. And importantly, we are continuing to streamline the onboarding and implementation process while also focusing on increasing the digital payment volumes of our clients. A great example is Country Pure Food, one of the largest manufacturers of multi-serve juices, plant-based beverages, and frozen commodities in the U.S. Since recently onboarding Country Pure Food, Repay's total pay solution has transformed their payment volumes from 100% paper-based to over 60% digital. with 30% virtual card adoption rate and a clear path to 80% digital payment volumes. As you can see from our results, we have been able to grow Repay by expanding our services, leveraging over 266 integrated software partners, guiding our clients through a seamless onboarding process, and constantly evolving our tech platform. As we look into the future, our platform continues to scale as we automate manual processes. A scaling of our platform and realizing the benefits from the investments we've made in sales, product, and technology over the past several years will enable us to accelerate free cash flow conversion throughout the year and beyond. Lastly, our capital allocation priorities remain focused on creating value for our shareholders by investing into organic growth opportunities while continuing to be open to accretive strategic M&A. Repay is positioned with a strong balance sheet to continue to grow profitably and accelerate cash generation throughout the year. We actually did Q1 with solid execution and consistent seasonal trends as we embark on the remainder of the year. With that, I'll turn it over to Tim to go over our financials and our outlook for 2024. Tim?
Thank you, John. Now let's go over our Q1 financial results before I review our financial guidance for 2024. As a reminder, Q1 organic growth is calculated by excluding contributions attributable to the divested blue-cow software business during 2023. In the first quarter, Repay delivered solid results across our key metrics. Revenue was $80.7 million, an increase of 10% on an organic basis over the prior year first quarter. Our business continues to benefit from strong performance in both card-based payment revenue as well as other value-added services such as communication solutions and instant funding, along with higher yields in business payments. Our Q1 results benefited from the typical tax refund seasonality. As a reminder, revenue attributable to Blue Cow in Q1 2023 was approximately 1.2 million. In Q1, organic gross profit grew by 11% year-over-year. As John mentioned, our consumer payments segment reported organic gross profit growth of 11% in Q1, and our business payments segment gross profit grew by 17%. Blue Cow contributed approximately 1.2 million to gross profit in Q1 2023. First quarter adjusted EBITDA was $35.5 million, growing 15% year-over-year with 44% margins. Q1 adjusted EBITDA margins improved sequentially as we have maintained relatively stable SG&A costs on a quarter-over-quarter basis, while simultaneously working to align our sales, implementation, and support teams throughout the year. First quarter adjusted net income was $22.4 million, or $0.23 per share. Lastly, Q1 free cash flow was $13.7 million, representing 90-plus percent year-over-year free cash flow growth. Free cash flow conversion was in line to our internal expectations due to timing around net working capital remains on track to accelerate throughout the year. Repay's net leverage at the end of Q1 was approximately 2.4 times. We expect net leverage to naturally decline throughout this year from our strong profitability and cash flow generation, including any potential M&A. As of March 31st, we had approximately $128 million of cash in the balance sheet with access to $185 million of undrawn revolver capacity for a total liquidity amount of $313 million. We pay a total outstanding debt of $440 million. It's comprised of a 0% coupon convertible note, which we are aware matures in February 2026. Moving on to our thoughts for 2024. Our year-to-date results are driven by our growth algorithm of growth with existing clients, the full-year contribution from clients that began ramping during the prior year, and growth from signed new clients. We are reiterating our 2024 outlook that we provided in late February. We continue to expect revenue to be between $314 million and $320 million, gross profit to be between $245 million and $250 million, and adjusted EBITDA to be between $139 million and $142 million. We expect roughly 44% adjusted EBITDA margins and anticipate adjusted EBITDA to grow faster than revenue and gross profit during the year. We expect our free cash flow conversion to accelerate throughout the year, with Q2 free cash flow conversion being closer to our full-year free cash flow conversion target of approximately 60%. As a reminder, free cash flow conversion is calculated by dividing free cash flow by adjusted EBITDA. As we demonstrated in Q1, we plan to reduce overall CapEx spending, giving us the confidence to accelerate our free cash flow conversion throughout 2024, leading to free cash flow growth of approximately 60% year-over-year and sustained mid- to high-teens growth thereafter. Across the business, we are seeing the sales pipeline develop from our software integrations and partnerships, giving us confidence in our multi-year growth opportunity. The planning assumptions around our 2024 outlook remain consistent with a measured range starting in late Q2 and lapping the strong contribution from enterprise clients during 2023. Our quarterly cadence is comprised of Q1 being positively impacted from the seasonality of tax refunds, which rolls off in Q2 similar to prior years. Q3 and Q4 will benefit from the incremental contributions of our political media business in the business payment segment. Q2 free cash flow conversion is expected to progress towards our full-year free cash flow conversion target of approximately 60%, and free cash flow conversion is expected to accelerate throughout the year, similar to the quarterly cadence we saw in 2023. As you can see from our strong Q1 results and full-year 2024 outlook, we continue to realize the benefits from our investments in sales, product, and technology over the past several years, leading to an acceleration in free cash flow conversion during 2024. Our focus remains on profitable growth, refining processes across the business where we can scale through automation while also maintaining investments towards innovation. I'll now turn the call back over to the operator to take your questions. Operator?
Thank you. We will now be conducting a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star 1 on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star key. Your first question comes from Ramsey L. Assel with Barclays. Please go ahead.
Hi, guys. Thanks for taking my question this evening. And forgive me if you commented on this. I was hopping back and forth between a couple calls. Adjusted EBITDA margins came in nicely ahead of expectations. What drove the beat there and also just help us think through cadence through the remainder of the year?
Yeah, we felt really good about that as well. We, as I mentioned, we, you know, we had similar gross profit margins as prior periods, but we were able to manage SG&A and OPEX while continuing to focus on investing and growth. And so that management of costs led to expanding gross profit, or excuse me, adjusted EBITDA margins. So, We would expect that to continue in terms of the gross profit margin profile being steady, slightly expanding, OPEX only slightly expanding, less than gross profit, which would lead to similar adjusted EBITDA margins for the rest of the year.
Got it. Okay. And then a follow-up from me. Back in March, there were some media reports about you guys potentially looking for a private equity sponsor. Can you give us your updated thoughts on exploring strategic alternatives to Is that something that's in the playbook here?
Hi, this is John. Listen, we take our producer responsibility very serious. We always have. I think you can see that with our ability to continue to drive our organic growth and execution. We think that's really great for shareholder value. We're going to continue to do that. We actually, I think we exited 23 with solid execution for that year and then exiting our first quarter. As we continue to guide for this free cash flow conversion, we think that at least our conversations with investors, that seems to resonate with them. And we're on our mission to help to drive that throughout our 2024 year. We think those are all things great for shareholder value, and that should be a positive thing.
Fair enough. Thanks.
Next question, Sanjay Sakrami with KBW. Please go ahead.
Hi, this is actually Stephen Kwok filling in for Sanjay. Thanks for taking my question. The first one I have was just around, now that you guys don't provide the volume growth anymore, perhaps if we could just drill down a little bit on your expectations for each of the segments, like how should we think about the growth rates for the consumer versus the business payments as we progress through the year? Thanks.
Yeah, as we mentioned in the last call, we're no longer providing, you know, CPV guidance or CPV as a metric just because the business has become more diversified into non-card-based revenue streams like instant funding, communication solutions. And so, you know, we did have a strong quarter in terms of CPV and the take rate was healthy. It's just business, like I said, is diversified into different revenue streams and more value-added services. And so we, you know, in terms of segment coverage, take rates and margins and growth pretty consistent with what we said previously, you know, consumers, high single digit, low double digit type of growth segment with similar margins that you saw this quarter. And then business payments would be a mid to high teens growth business with similar margins and take rates as you saw this quarter, or margins that you saw this quarter. And so one thing that could, you know, from a take rate perspective, we are signing more enterprise accounts, and sometimes those come with slightly lower take rates, but we're able to manage our costs and so have similar gross profit margins. And there's also potentially a mix towards B2B and business payments, which has slightly lower take rates than the overall, but there's no pressure other than those dynamics.
Got it. And then my follow-up was just around, you had a nice quarter, kept the guidance the same. Just as we think about, you know, where are you relative to your prior guidance, should we think about, you know, what's the better than expected results? Perhaps, you know, you could be at the upper end of the range. Maybe, you know, what are the different factors that's incorporated into your guide? Thanks.
Yeah, I mean, we, you know, we feel good about Q1 results, really strong. Trends into Q2 are similar to what we would have expected, consistent coming out of Q1. There was seasonality there. impacts from tax refunds and Q1s. Typically, Q2 is slightly down from that. And, you know, we are lapping a large enterprise win from prior year and actually multiple enterprise wins. And so we're taking that into account with our outlook. And then just given the timing of where we are in the year, we're just trying to maintain conservatism and be thoughtful around that. So that's how we're looking at the rest of the year.
Perfect. Thank you so much.
Next question, Peter Heckman with DA Davidson. Please proceed.
Hey, good afternoon, everyone. I just wanted to check in on the B2B AP automation. When you're winning there, are those typically competitive takeaways or are those kind of a first effort to move away from paper-based payment methods?
Hi, Peter. It's John. Those are all net new. Most of it's green space, white space. For example, as I mentioned on the call, the example of the food distributor, our ability to just drive that digital transformation is there, and so we're seeing many of those opportunities. There are occasional takeaways, but in many of our verticals, this is all net new.
Yeah, country PR fluid is the example, Pete, that John's referencing. And they went from 100% paper-based when we started with them to over 60% digital today with 30% virtual card adoption. And we think they can grow to 80% digital because they adopted our unique total pay solution. So that's a great case study of just educating a client on the benefits of AP automation and AP payment execution. And you can see those results.
What was the timeframe they were able to do that in?
It's just a few months. I mean, it happened very quickly. They adopted the solution quickly. They really embraced outsourcing their payables function. They outsourced the total pay solution so we could handle all their forms of payment. And because of our supplier network and our unique approach to vendor enablement, we were able to achieve these types of digital payment and virtual card adoption rates.
That's great. That's great. And then just a quick follow-up. Have you seen any change or I guess any perception of upcoming change in terms of auto loan originations either on the new or used side? It seems like new is tracking a little bit higher. Used might be still a little bit sluggish.
Yeah, that's right. No real change. I mean, we keep an eye on the used car prices and how those are trending, and that should be a good indicator of affordability and what that means for used car financing. But there's really not any significant change from last time we spoke.
All right.
I appreciate it. Thanks.
Next question, Joseph Spaffy with Canaccord Genuity. Please go ahead.
Hey, guys. Good afternoon. Nice to see the steady results. Maybe we could get a little bit of an update on a couple of the verticals, maybe the latest update on your auto OEM integration and what the pipeline there may look like. And we haven't heard, I think, a ton recently on mortgage. Maybe an update there as well, and then maybe I'll have a quick follow-up. Thanks.
On the auto captive, as I mentioned, we're in the process of going live with that, and we expect it to be processing in late Q2 and ramping throughout the second half of this year. And that'll be a multi-year growth opportunity, Joe. We're very excited about that and have done a lot of work on that. And we've been building a pipeline of additional captives, and we've intentionally gone upmarket with some of our sales hires to address the enterprise space across really all of our consumer verticals, not just auto, but auto's a good example. So that's a second half contributor, and then, like I said, multi-year growth opportunity as the business continues to ramp. In terms of mortgage, I mean, we see a lot of positive signs there, and, you know, it's not in our forecast. It's not in our outlook, but we're continuing to progress, and there's certain clients that we've identified that we think will adopt the debit solution, and that's progressing nicely.
Yeah, and I mentioned as well on our call about a larger credit union we just brought on board, which is one of the largest top 50 credit unions. They do a good bit of auto lending as well, so our ability to continually enhance that overall consumer digital experience, we're seeing really positive traction in the credit union space.
It's been an area of strength for us, Joe. You say we added 15 this quarter, and we're now up to about 290 credit unions out of a just under 5,000 across the U S we're signing really large credit unions. We have the right software integrations in that space. And we have all the different payment capabilities that give us the ability to win.
Great. Thanks for that update. And then, you know, I mean, you've got a lot of software partners now, which is great. And I had imagined that, you know, some are better producers than others in driving revenue and just kind of, how do you look at that large portfolio of software partners now, you know, in terms of where, you know, maybe how much of it, you know, how much penetration do you have there with their end customers? And, you know, of the 266, is it, you know, is it like, is it like half of them are bigger producers or just trying to understand how some of those numbers work with a pretty large partner network now? Thanks.
Hi, Joe. Yeah, it's different by vertical in reality. So you know that we are vertically specific, even in consumer payments and even in business payments. On the business payment side, some of those partnerships, if they're ERP systems, are very broad and very, very large. But even inside of that world, we try to hone in on the verticals inside of those ERP systems. But also on the business payment side as well, We really think there's tremendous growth opportunities in the outer years for these large enterprise software ERP platforms such as like a Blackbaud that really manages the entire workflows. We think the monetization of payments has many long years associated with that. We assign our individual vertical leads to these areas. We have almost, we kind of have somewhat of a pod related to these verticals so we can be vertical experts, as well as payment experts, as well as the software expert around the channel we're going through. They vary in size, as you indicate, some that deal with very large enterprises and then have medium. So we focus on medium to enterprise. There are some, especially in our consumer payment side, that would have some smaller type clients. We are typically in the medium to enterprise level there. Some are more sophisticated than others, but we have individual team members assigned to drive that with marketing campaigns associated with that. We like a lot of our sales sequencing around that. We like the way some of the areas that we're focusing on. We are prioritizing around many of those as we refresh some of our integrations around some of our product features and functionality. As we open up more of those payment modalities, that in itself drives Captured drives, you know that pay anywhere anyway anytime As the consumer wants to pay even as the business wants to pay our total pay solution does that? That is a that's a significant opportunity that one-stop shop single-paying class Is very valuable in itself and our clients want to be able to move move money all the different ways and have one single provider that can help them do that fully embedded in that. We'll continue to drive that home as we build that out and prioritize that by individual systems, which we do evaluate by opportunity.
Great. Thanks for that extra call, John. Thanks, Kim, too.
Next question, Mike Grondell with Northwind Securities. Please go ahead.
Hey, guys. Two questions. Was the contribution from Tech's season this year, was that outsized compared to the last couple years? Just kind of curious if you can quantify that at all. And then secondly, I know we're still a ways from the election, but do you have any sense or feel if, If the revenue related to that is looking a little better or a little worse, just any color there would be helpful too.
On tax refunds, we track those very closely with IRS data, very similar to the prior year. So it was in line with our expectations. It wasn't necessarily a greater contribution than prior periods or what we expected. So very similar trend there. And then with political, we're still expecting... We compare it to what we did in 2022. In 2022, a little over $6 million of gross profit, and we think that business can grow about 20% this year, given it's a presidential cycle. We'll have a lot more visibility leading up into the election just a few months before as to how that 20% looks, but right now we're still anticipating 20% growth on the $6 million or so of GP in the 2022 cycle.
Got it. And lastly, Any updated thoughts on the macro, whether that's consumer-driven or rates? Are you seeing anything there to call out?
As we just mentioned, I mean, very similar to, you know, what we talked about during the last call. The auto is similar, like I just said, and we're seeing similar trends across some of the other end markets. So, you know, what we try to do with our planning is take into account the most recent run rate trends we see both in our own business and in the macro, and bake those into the rest of the year forecast. So nothing's really materially different than what we saw before.
Stable, healthy consumer with a stable, healthy job market.
Sounds good. Thanks, guys.
Next question, James Mosetti with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.
Hi. Thank you for taking my question. This is Shefali Tamaskar asking a question on behalf of James. So given the strong free cash flow, could you provide an update around capital allocation, maybe what you're seeing in terms of M&A pipeline currently, how valuations are trending, and maybe what verticals might be most interesting to you?
Yeah, I'll start. Specifically, we still think, for all the reasons we talked about on the call and you've heard us say before, organic growth, with the total addressable market that's sitting in front of us and ahead of us, we still think it's very valuable and And we're going to continue to drive our organic opportunities, which we're doing and we're executing on always. And the consumer payments, we're going to drive more investments in our enterprise sales, which is embedded in what we're saying we're going to do. And then obviously enhancing our integrations, as we talked about on a couple of those questions there. And then business payments, like I was mentioning on the enterprise software integrations, we think there's significant opportunity for us to continue to invest there. Obviously, we're going to continue to enhance Overall, our implementation enhance our ERP partnerships, building out our overall network of suppliers. We think there's great value in our 279,000 plus suppliers today. We see significant opportunity as we continue to net add there as we bring on new clients by vertical. We actually like to do that by vertical as well. Then overall automation, we desire to be larger, to drive scale. We think it's a great opportunity for us to do that in payments. We're obviously using things with AI to try to drive more efficiencies in our business, operational, client, customer service, implementation, things around that with automation. And then I'll let Tim maybe speak to the M&A side.
Yeah, to add to that, like John said, our number one priority from a capital allocation standpoint is organic growth and funding additional organic growth for all the reasons John described. And then we like to balance our net leverage against managing the convert liability, and so that's another priority of ours and From an M&A perspective, we do have an in-house team that is sourcing deals, evaluating deals, and we haven't done an acquisition close to two and a half years, so we've been remaining disciplined on that front, but we do have a very healthy pipeline building, and we're in various stages of discussions with targets across consumer payments and markets and then business payments and markets. We like the AP vertical a lot within business payments, and there's a number of targets we see there to build out either our number of verticals we're in supplier network, number of ERP integrations, and just generally add scale to our business payment segment. So those are some of the areas we're focused on, and we will continue to be disciplined.
There's some potential attractive tuck-ins.
Once again, if you would like to ask a question, please press star 1 on your telephone keypad. Next question comes from Pat Ennis with UBS. Please go ahead.
Thanks, guys. So, I mean, you've talked about competition and coming across the traditional scaled payments companies such as Global Payments, WorldPay, Fiserv, and not really coming across those guys as much. It's been some time since you've talked about these competitors in your core consumer finance markets. Could you maybe touch on how that market has evolved and if those comments still hold for the most part?
Those comments still hold. Those specific ones you named, I don't recall any particular bake-offs or if we're competing against someone, those particular names. We have the unique integrations that really make these things. Our vertical focus go-to-market is unique with our unique products around that. If you don't have all those features, functionalities with those unique integrations, And so we just don't bump into those specifically. It doesn't mean we couldn't. And in reality, we've got a healthy pipeline, and we're winning.
Now, to add to that, mainly focused on consumer, like John said, we don't typically see those names. And one of the reasons we've chosen to address these end markets is because they're not only very large, but they're underserved from a payment perspective and underpenetrated from a card perspective. And so We really like our position in those end markets within consumer. And then on the business payment side, as we touched on earlier, most of these are not competitive takeaways. They're just moving clients off of paper-based legacy forms of payment onto digital payments, specifically virtual cards. And it's an education to the market of why they should be outsourcing their payables versus your really competitive dynamics.
I appreciate that.
Thank you. I would like to turn the floor over to John Morris for closing remarks.
Thank you, everyone, for your time today. We set a solid start to our year with double-digit organic growth. We continue to make progress on our strategic initiatives as talked about on our call. We are excited about this multi-year growth opportunities that we've also talked about that we think can give us fantastic opportunities even in the outer years. And our execution of our 2024 outlook, we continue to execute on that to accelerate free cash flow, which we think we'll be able to do that for the continuation of this year to hit our goal for 2024. Thank you for joining us today.
This concludes today's teleconference. You may disconnect your lines at this time, and thank you for your participation.
