Recent Company History

Over the past year, Nayax has delivered consistent growth-focused earnings updates. Q1 2025, Q2 2025, Q3 2025, Q4/FY 2024, and Q4/FY 2025 all highlighted double‑digit revenue growth, expanding recurring revenue, and improving margins, plus raised or reaffirmed guidance and EV‑charging partnerships. Despite this, most earnings days saw modest or negative price reactions. Today’s Q1 2026 report, with 32% revenue growth and reaffirmed 2026 guidance, fits the same operational trajectory.

Key Terms

adjusted ebitda, free cash flow, ifrs, take rate, +1 more
5 terms
adjusted ebitda financial
"Net income of $1.3 million with Adjusted EBITDA of $13.9 million (1)"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
free cash flow financial
"Cash flow provided from operating activities was $3.6 million and Free Cash Flow was negative"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
ifrs financial
"non-IFRS financial measures. Please refer to the footnote 3 in the table below"
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are a set of common accounting rules used by many companies worldwide to prepare financial statements, so numbers like revenue, profit and assets are measured in the same way across borders. For investors, IFRS matters because it makes it easier to compare the financial health and performance of different companies—like using the same ruler to measure different objects—reducing surprises and helping informed investment decisions.
take rate financial
"Take rate (payments) (4) | 2.66% | 2.75% | -0.1%"
Take rate is the share of a platform’s total transaction volume that the platform keeps as revenue, usually expressed as a percentage of the money that passes through it. Investors watch take rate because it shows how well a business converts activity into income — like a marketplace owner keeping a slice of every sale — and changes in the take rate can signal improving monetization, pricing power, or margin pressure.
arpu financial
"ARPU ($) (5) | 247 | 216 | 14%"
ARPU, or Average Revenue Per User, measures how much money a company earns, on average, from each of its customers over a set period. It helps investors understand how effectively a business is generating income from its customer base, similar to calculating how much each customer spends at a store. Higher ARPU often indicates stronger sales per customer and better revenue performance.

Revenue of $106.9 million, revenue growth of 32%

Organic revenue growth of 26% (1)

Net income of $1.3 million with Adjusted EBITDA of $13.9 million (1)

Company reaffirms full year 2026 guidance

HERZLIYA, Israel, May 12, 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

“We had an excellent start to 2026, with strong operational and financial results across the business. We continued to scale our platform, expand our installed base, and drive transaction activity, all of which reinforces the more predictable and profitable recurring revenue contribution to our business. Revenue grew 32% to $107 million, with organic revenue growth of 26%. Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA grew 43% year-over-year, expanding to 13% of revenue. This quarter we crossed an important milestone, with our installed base surpassing 1.5 million devices and our customer base reaching 120,000. The more customers we onboard, the more devices they buy, the more transactions flow through our platform, and the more our recurring revenue compounds- It’s clear that our growth algorithm is working, and we are well-positioned to capture the opportunities ahead,” commented Yair Nechmad, Nayax Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.

(1) Organic Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted OPEX are non-IFRS financial measures. Please refer to the footnote 3 in the table below and the additional tables at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of Organic Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted OPEX to the most directly comparable IFRS measure for each. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to IFRS net income (loss) due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, in particular, because special items such as finance expenses and issuance and acquisition costs used to calculate projected net income (loss) can vary dramatically based on actual events. Therefore, the Company is not able to forecast on an IFRS basis with reasonable certainty all deductions needed in order to provide an IFRS calculation of projected net income (loss) at this time. The amount of these deductions may be material and therefore could result in projected IFRS net income (loss) being materially different than projected Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS).

(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 Q1 2026 includes $4.5 million of revenues from recent acquisitions.
 
  • Revenue increased 32% to $106.9 million from $81.1 million driven by both new and existing customer expansion.
  • Organic Revenue growth for the quarter was 26%.
  • Recurring revenue from SaaS and payment processing fees grew 27%, to $79.3 million and represented 74% of total revenue.
  • POS devices revenue increased by 46% to $27.6 million with strong demand for our products across all market segments.
  • Gross margin was 48.9%, in line with the previous year’s quarter margin of 49.2%.
    • Recurring margin improved to 54.4% from 52.1%, driven mainly by processing margin that improved to nearly 40% from 35.8% 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 76.5% from 75.9%. Both processing and SaaS margins reflect the Company’s growing scale and increasing transaction volumes.
    • Hardware margin was 33.1% compared to 39.5% due to marketing promotions for our newly released “PIN-on-glass” VPOS Media devices in Europe
  • Operating profit was $4.1 million compared to $7.9 million. Q1 2025 included a one-time gain of approximately $6.1 million related to Nayax’s share purchase of Tigapo.

Adjusted OPEX had an unfavorable impact of $1.2 million dollars in the quarter compared sequentially to Q4 2025, due to foreign currency volatility.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 43% to $13.9 million dollars, representing 13% of revenue and demonstrating the operating leverage of the business compared to $9.7 million, representing a margin of 12% of total revenue, in last year’s first quarter.
  • Cash flow provided from operating activities was $3.6 million and Free Cash Flow was negative at $6.0 million mainly due to increased infrastructure investment, and the timing of cash settlement from processing activities.
  • As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $306.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits. Short-term and long-term debt balances was $325.3 million.

2026 Financial Outlook 

For the year ending December 31, 2026, Nayax is reaffirming its financial outlook of revenue in the range of $510 million to $520 million. The guidance is inclusive of organic revenue growth of 22% to 25% and the expected contribution from the Lynkwell acquisition, completed on December 4, 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the year remains between $85 million and $90 million, which represents an adjusted EBITDA margin of about 17%.

The Company expects free cash conversion from Adjusted EBITDA of approximately 40%. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided from operating activities minus capitalized development costs and acquisition of property and equipment. 

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.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements. Many of the forward-looking statements contained in this press release can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “expect,” “should,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate” and “potential,” among others. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations, such as statements in this press release regarding our financial outlook, future business prospects and the impact of recent acquisitions or partnerships published by the Company. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various factors, including, but not limited to: our expectations regarding general market conditions, including as a result of global economic trends; changes in consumer tastes and preferences; fluctuations in inflation, interest rate and exchange rates in the global economic environment; the availability of qualified personnel and the ability to retain such personnel; changes in commodity costs, labor, distribution and other operating costs; our ability to implement our growth strategy; changes in government regulation and tax matters; other factors that may affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations; general economic, political, demographic and business conditions in Israel; the success of operating initiatives, including advertising and promotional efforts and new product and concept development by us and our competitors; and other risk factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 9, 2026 (our "Annual Report"). 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. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In particular, you should consider the risks provided under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or will occur. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

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.

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 and our share in losses of associates accounted for by the equity method.
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.

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.

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.
