HERZLIYA, Israel, Nov. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nayax Ltd. (Nasdaq: NYAX, TASE: NYAX), a global commerce payments and loyalty platform designed to help merchants scale their business, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

“Our third-quarter results demonstrated continued growth alongside improved margins, operating leverage and a return to positive free cash flow. Revenue grew 23%, gross margin hit a record 49.6%, and Adjusted EBITDA increased by more than 70% sequentially, all while we converted a 41% positive free cash flow. We completed the acquisition of IPS Group on October 1, 2026, expanding our platform into parking. Meanwhile, our new distribution partners are putting Nayax readers on more machines across more markets. With a strong Q4 order pipeline and IPS now contributing, we are well positioned for a strong finish to the year. As we move into 2027 and beyond, our focus shifts from investing to delivering, turning the partnerships and platforms we have built into recurring revenue and returns. We are still early in a long-term global shift, and Nayax is built to lead it,” commented Yair Nechmad, Nayax’s Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.

(1) Recurring revenue comprised of SaaS subscription revenue and payment processing fees.
(2) POS devices’ revenue includes revenues derived from the sale of our hardware products and other revenue.
(3) Organic Revenue is a non-IFRS financial measure that we define as total revenue adjusted to exclude the revenue attributable to acquired businesses for a period of 12 months following their acquisition. Total revenue for Q3 2026 includes $6.6 million of revenues from recent acquisitions.

• Revenue increased 23% to $128 million from $104.3 million, driven by both new and existing customer expansion.
• Organic Revenue ⁽³⁾ growth year to date was 21%.
• Recurring revenue from SaaS and payment processing fees grew 21%, to $93.5 million and represented 73% of total revenue.
• POS devices revenue increased by 27% to $34.5 million with strong demand for our products across all market segments, especially our EV platform as we strengthen our position in this important long-term growth market and capture market share.

• Gross margin was 49.6%:
  • Recurring margin improved to 54.8% from 53.6%, driven mainly by processing margin improvement to 41.6% from 39.6% reflecting the ongoing benefits of renegotiated contracts with several bank acquirers and the Company’s improved smart-routing capabilities. SaaS margin improved as well to 77.3% from 76.3%. Both processing and SaaS margins reflect the Company’s growing scale.
  • Hardware margin was 35.2%, which was a significant improvement sequentially from this year’s second quarter of 28.1% driven mainly by both a higher average selling price and a lower product cost of our VPOS Media product family.
• Operating income was $3.7 million compared to $7.8 million in last year’s third quarter. This year’s third quarter included stock-based compensation expenses of $6.2 million compared to $2.6 million in the prior year period. The increase is due to a new senior leadership stock-based incentive plan, that was initiated and disclosed last quarter. 
• Net financial expenses increased to $4.2 million compared to $3.3 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting higher expenses due to FX and interest expense associated with the bond issuances completed in 2025.
• The Company reported a net loss of $1.1 million for the quarter, compared to net income of $3.5 million in the prior year period due to higher financial expenses and stock-based compensation.
• Basic loss per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 was $(0.028) per share. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, were $0.095 and $0.092, respectively.
• Weighted average number of basic and diluted shares for the third quarter of 2026 were 37,928,190 and 41,435,453, respectively compared to 37,102,759 and 38,451,507 for the third quarter of 2025.

• Adjusted OPEX for the quarter was $40 million, which was an improvement of more than $4 million sequentially compared to the second quarter and represented 31.2% of revenue. Most of the improvements were related to several cost reduction initiatives such as employee-related, marketing and IT expenses.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 32.9% to $24.2 million from $18.2 million, representing 19% of revenue as we continue to drive margin expansion, improve productivity and operational efficiency across the organization. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter increased by more than 70% sequentially compared to the second quarter, which reflects the operating leverage of the business from both an improvement in overall gross margin as well as disciplined cost management.
• Adjusted net income for the quarter was $14.1 million, compared to adjusted net income of $10.2 million in the prior-year period.
• Basic and diluted adjusted net income per share was $0.372 and $0.341, respectively, for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $0.275 and $0.265, respectively, for the third quarter of 2025.

• Cash flow provided from operating activities for the third quarter was $18.1 million.
• Free Cash Flow for the third quarter was $10 million compared to $3.9 million in the prior-year quarter.
• As of September 30, 2026, cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits totaled $453 million, while total short- and long-term debt stood at $491 million. Both include $150 million of bank loans to finance the IPS acquisition which was completed on October 1, 2026 for a total cash consideration of $350 million.

(4) Payment service providers typically take a percentage of every transaction in exchange for facilitating the movement of funds from the buyer to the seller. Take rate % (payments) is calculated by dividing the Company’s processing revenue by the total dollar transaction value in the same quarter.
(5) Average revenue per unit (ARPU) is calculated using recurring revenue divided by the number of connected devices over a 12-month trailing period.

• Total transaction value grew by 25.5% to $2.2 billion. 
• Number of processed transactions increased 14% to 839 million.
• Take rate was strong at 2.66%.
• The customer base grew 19.3% year over year to approximately 131,000, with approximately 5,400 new customers added in the third quarter of 2026.
• ARPU increased to $255, representing a 10.9% increase driven by the continued conversion of existing machines from cash payments to cashless payments, and our expansion into verticals with higher transaction values, such as EV charging, amusement facilities, and car washes.

Recent Business Highlights

• Completed Acquisition of IPS Group. Nayax completed its acquisition of IPS Group, a leading provider of payment-enabled smart parking technology. IPS brings a market-leading smart parking platform and an installed base of more than 250,000 parking spaces across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. Nayax will strengthen the platform with its global payments infrastructure and extend it internationally through its commercial presence in over 120 countries, starting with Continental Europe, while expanding Nayax’s addressable cashless opportunity.
• Announced a Distribution Partnership with Allied Electronics, Inc. Through the partnership, Nayax Fuel’s VPOS Media 5 outdoor payment solution will reach fuel retailers across the United States alongside Allied. Allied has served the retail petroleum industry since 1978, and its systems, including the NeXGen PRIME forecourt controller, operate at tens of thousands of locations nationwide. The partnership brings Nayax payment infrastructure to US fuel retailers through a partner they know and trust. Card payments now make up 81% of US pump transactions, up from 64% a decade ago, according to NACS.
• Announced a Global Strategic Partnership with Getnet. Together, Nayax and Getnet will bring integrated payment acceptance to operators of vending machines, EV chargers, self-service kiosks, and other unattended businesses across Latin America and Iberia. Nayax will roll out across Getnet’s acquiring network, starting in Chile and expanding to Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina. The partnership is expected to open new Latin American markets for Nayax and strengthens its regional presence.
• Launched its Electric Mobility Business in Brazil. The VPOS Media 4 Mini lets drivers pay directly at the charger with cards and digital wallets. The terminal is certified by ABECS, which governs payment security in Brazil, and by Anatel, which covers connected devices. It is built for unattended outdoor sites and is available across Brazil.

2026 Financial Outlook 

The Company is reaffirming its guidance for the full year, excluding IPS, of $510 million to $520 million, including organic revenue growth of 22% to 25%. IPS is expected to contribute approximately $20 million of revenue in the fourth quarter, therefore with IPS, the Company’s revenue guidance is expected to be between $530 million and $540 million for the full year 2026.

Similarly, Adjusted EBITDA for the year is now expected to be approximately $90 million to $95 million, which again we are reaffirming our original guidance of $85 million to $90 million plus the expected contribution of approximately $5 million from IPS in the fourth quarter.

The Company continues to expect free cash flow conversion from Adjusted EBITDA of approximately 5% to 10% for the year, excluding the expected contribution of IPS. As stated last quarter, this primarily reflects accelerated investments the Company is making to support its long-term growth initiatives. The areas of investment are in financial services including lending, installment and issuing capabilities, as well as capturing market share in the EV charging space, and securing sourcing of key components and costs.

Mid-term Outlook 

With respect to Nayax’s mid-term 2028 outlook, which was introduced shortly after its IPO in 2021, the Company continues to make measurable progress. The framework includes revenue of $1.0 billion driven by a combination of organic growth and strategic M&A, gross margin of 50%, and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 30%, as we continue to drive high margin recurring revenues and operational efficiency.

The preceding list is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all of our forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of future performance, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are only estimates based upon our current expectations and projections about future events.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Information

In addition to various operational metrics and financial measures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted under International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, this press release contains financial metrics presented on a constant currency basis as well as Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, each of which are non-IFRS financial measures, as a measure to evaluate our past results and future prospects.

Constant Currency

Nayax presents constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. Future expected results for transactions in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars using the exchange rates in effect in the last month of the reporting period. Nayax provides this financial information to aid investors in better understanding our performance. The constant currency financial measures presented in this release should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The Company cannot provide expected net income without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net income are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, of which unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s IFRS financial results.

Organic Revenue

Organic Revenue is a non-IFRS financial measure that we define as total revenue adjusted to exclude the revenue attributable to acquired businesses for a period of 12 months following their acquisition. This measure helps provide insight on organic and acquisition-related growth and presents useful information about comparable revenue growth.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is a non-IFRS financial measure that we define as net cash provided from operating activities minus capitalized development costs and acquisition of property and equipment. A reconciliation is provided at the end of this press release for Free Cash Flow to Net cash provided from operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted OPEX

Adjusted OPEX is a non-IFRS financial measure that we define as total OPEX excluding stock based compensation, depreciation and amortization and other expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure that we define as loss for the period excluding finance expenses, tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation costs, non-recurring issuance and acquisition costs, our share in losses of associates accounted for by the equity method and other expenses.
We present Adjusted EBITDA in this press release because it is a measure that our management and board of directors utilize as a measure to evaluate our operating performance and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, when taken collectively with financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, may be helpful to investors because it provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, our management does not consider this non-IFRS measure in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies. The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes significant expenses that are required by IFRS to be recorded in our financial statements, as further detailed above. In addition, it is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses are excluded or included in determining Adjusted EBITDA.

A reconciliation is provided at the end of this press release for Adjusted EBITDA to net profit or loss, the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with IFRS. Investors are encouraged to review net loss and the reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA included below and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income is a non-IFRS financial measure that we define as the net income or loss for the period, plus share-based compensation costs, one time and non-recurring items cost such as restructuring and M&A costs, amortization of acquired intangibles and gains or losses on equity investments, and other expenses.

Other Financial Metrics – Dollar-based net retention rate

Measured as a percentage of Recurring Revenue from returning customers in a given period as compared to the Recurring Revenue from such customers in the prior period, which reflects the increase in revenue and the rate of losses from customer churn.
