2023-03-01 21:25
Financial Performance - The company processed approximately $25.6 billion in total card payment volume in 2022, with a year-over-year growth of approximately 25%[25]. - As of December 31, 2022, the company had over 23,000 clients, with the top 10 clients contributing approximately 15% of total gross profit[25]. - The Consumer Payments segment represented approximately 85% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022, while the Business Payments segment accounted for approximately 15%[29][30]. - The chargeback rate for the year ended December 31, 2022, was under 1% of the payment volume[49]. - The chargeback rate for the year ended December 31, 2022, was less than 1% of payment volume, indicating effective risk management practices[135]. Growth Strategy - The company aims to drive future growth by increasing penetration in existing verticals and expanding into new verticals and geographic markets[31][32]. - The company plans to expand its geographic footprint, particularly focusing on Canadian operations due to strong demand for its solutions[33]. - The company has successfully acquired eleven businesses from January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2022, and may pursue strategic acquisitions selectively[36]. - The company’s growth strategy includes entering new vertical markets through acquisitions, but it faces risks such as competition for acquisition candidates and potential regulatory hurdles[161].
