May 9, 2024, 8:30 a.m.: HiPay, the fintech specializing in omnichannel payment solutions, announces its revenues for the 1st quarter of 2024.

Despite a high basis for comparison (22% growth in Q1 2023) HiPay achieved 5% growth in Q1 2024, i.e. 27% growth over two periods.

●        The first semester demonstrates and solidifies HiPay's growth with an increase in processed flows of 3% and revenue growth of 5%.

●        As the basis of comparison for the first quarter of 2023 is particularly high, average annual growth (CAGR) stands at 10% for processed flows and 13% for revenue.

●        Over the quarter, the revenue to flows ratio was 0.80%, improving by 0.01 points compared with 2023 (0.79%). This rise in average prices charged is due to changes in the customer and product mix.

Several profitable sectors

●        All the Group's business units outperformed their targets, with particularly strong growth in digital markets and slightly reduced growth in retail France.

●        In France, HiPay maintains good market momentum with over 163 new contracts signed in the retail sector, with brands such as Tara Jarmon, Zapa, Narbonne

●        The IGaming and Digital sectors continue to grow over the period.

Outlook

The company confirms that for the 2024 financial year, operating profitability and net profitability are expected to be at or above the 2023 level (as a % of revenues).

Next financial communication: July 30, 2024 - 2024 half-year results.
