Deluxe Corporation reported first-half 2026 results showing stronger profitability and cash generation despite modest revenue pressure. Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $1,037.4 million, down 1.9% year over year, primarily because the divestiture of the Safeguard small business distributor channel reduced revenue by about $47.1 million and ongoing secular declines in checks, forms, and business accessories continued to weigh on the Print segment. These effects were partly offset by growth across Merchant Services, B2B Payments, and Data Solutions, where payments and data businesses together delivered 11.1% revenue growth and a 14.6% increase in adjusted EBITDA.
Net income for the first half rose to $55.0 million from $36.5 million, and adjusted EBITDA increased by $20.1 million to $226.7 million, with adjusted EBITDA margin improving to 21.9%. Free cash flow strengthened to $85.9 million, helping reduce total debt to $1,352.2 million and net debt to $1,317.3 million as of June 30, 2026. Liquidity included $34.9 million of cash and $384.3 million available on the revolving credit facility. Strategically, Deluxe completed the sale of the Safeguard distributor channel and, on July 31, 2026, closed the $625.0 million cash acquisition of Celero Commerce, financed through an amended credit facility that extends term loan and revolver maturities to 2031 and adds new interest rate swap hedging on $600.0 million of variable-rate debt.
Deluxe Corporation reports that it has furnished an earnings release as Exhibit 99.1, providing results for the second quarter 2026. The disclosure is made under Item 2.02, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition,” and is expressly treated as furnished, not filed, under the Exchange Act and Securities Act.
The current report also identifies related Inline XBRL data files, including the XBRL instance document, taxonomy extension components, and an interactive data cover page. It reaffirms that the company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share, trades on the NYSE under the symbol DLX.
Deluxe Corporation entered into a Refinancing Facility Agreement No. 2, establishing a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that provides a senior secured first lien revolving credit facility of $400.0 million and a senior secured first lien term loan facility of $800.0 million. The revolver, which includes a $40 million swingline and a $25 million letter-of-credit sub-facility, may be borrowed until July 31, 2031, while the term loan amortizes through June 30, 2031 with the remaining balance due at maturity.
The company used borrowings under these facilities to fund the approximately $625 million cash purchase of Celero Commerce, plus related expenses, making Celero a wholly owned subsidiary. Management states the combination is expected to be accretive to adjusted EPS in the first full year, with more than $15 million in expected cost synergies, over 55,000 additional merchant relationships, 130 bank partners, and an expanded payments platform expected to process more than $70 billion in annual gross transaction volume.

Deluxe Corporation has entered into a definitive Equity Purchase Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Celero Commerce in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $625 million, plus seller expenses and other adjustments. Deluxe will buy Celero’s parent structure and merge a wholly owned subsidiary into Celero, which will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Deluxe.
The deal will be funded with a mix of existing revolving credit capacity and committed Debt Financing, including an incremental $375 million Term Loan A, and has no financing contingency. Subject to regulatory and other customary closing conditions, closing is expected in the third quarter of 2026. Deluxe expects the combination to accelerate its shift toward higher-growth Payments and Data, with those segments projected to represent about 57% of 2026 revenues on a pro forma basis, compared with 31% in 2020.
