2020 First Quarter Financial Results
Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 were $10,576,473,
an increase of $3,319,183, or 46% compared to the quarter ended
March 31, 2019, when revenues were $7,257,290. The increase in
revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of new
corporate incentive prepaid card programs and growth within our
existing programs.
Cost of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was
$4,855,520, an increase of $1,373,384 compared to the same period
in 2019, when cost of revenues was $3,482,136. Cost of revenues was
46% and 48% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2020 and
2019, respectively. Our improvement to this ratio was due to a
favorable client mix.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the
first quarter of 2020 were $3,827,324, an increase of $1,122,375
compared to the same period in 2019, when SG&A was $2,704,949.
The increase in SG&A was primarily attributable to additions to
technologies, sales, operations and leadership positions, and to a
lesser extent, an increase in stock- based compensation.
Net income attributable to Paysign, Inc. in the first quarter of
2020 was $1,540,965 as compared to $871,671 for the same period in
2019, which represents an increase of $669,294, or 77%. The
significant overall improvement in net income is attributable to
the aforementioned factors.
Management Commentary
“We are very pleased with the company’s first quarter revenue
and earnings, as our results surpassed our internal forecasts, as
both plasma and patient affordability programs exhibited healthy
year over year revenue growth. We did see some impact related to
stay at home mandates and related safety measures in our plasma
programs in late March, while our patient affordability programs
continued to experience exceptional growth throughout the quarter,”
said Mark Newcomer, Chief Executive Officer, Paysign. “From the
outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Paysign team has worked to
prioritize the safety of our employees and provide excellent
service to our customers and cardholders. We continue to monitor
developments in this unprecedented situation and are pressing
forward with our key initiatives in support of Paysign’s long-term
growth.”
“Gross Margin in the first quarter of 54.1% improved nicely
compared to the same period in 2019, but also versus the 51.8% in
quarter four,” stated Mark Attinger, Chief Financial Officer. “This
was not only in line with our expectations, but is an important
indicator of predictability, as we expect to return to 2019 Gross
Margin levels.”

Paysign, Inc. Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement Paysign’s financial results presented on a GAAP
basis, we use non-GAAP measures of net income that excludes the
following cash and non-cash items – interest, taxes, stock-based
compensation, amortization and depreciation. We believe these
non-GAAP measures help investors better evaluate our past financial
performance and potential future results. Non-GAAP measures should
not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable
GAAP accounting, and investors should read them in conjunction with
the company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with
GAAP. The non-GAAP measures of net income we use may be different
from, and not directly comparable to, similarly titled measures
used by other companies.
“EBITDA” is defined as earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization expense. “Adjusted EBITDA” reflects
the adjustment to EBITDA to exclude stock-based compensation
charges.
Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows from
operations, operating income (loss) or net income (loss) as defined
by U.S. GAAP as indicators of operating performances. Management
cautions that amounts presented in accordance with Paysign’s
definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar
measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies
calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.
