SAN DIEGO, CA, Aug. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RYVYL Inc. (NASDAQ: RVYL) ("RYVYL” or the "Company"), a leading innovator of payment transaction solutions leveraging proprietary blockchain ledger and electronic payment technology for the diverse international markets, reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
“RYVYL delivered second quarter 2024 revenue in line with expectations, as lower revenue in North America was partially offset by revenue generated from international operations, which grew 134% year-over-year,” said RYVYL Co-founder and CEO Fredi Nisan. “During the second quarter, we aligned our U.S. operations to manage the impact of banking regulations affecting certain niche customer bases, which we believe is largely behind us. To rebuild that business and expand into new verticals, we extended a longstanding U.S. banking relationship to include high-risk processing and are launching private and white label licensing solutions. As a result, we are growing our pipeline in sectors like insurance and online businesses and are aggressively pursuing multiple prospects.”
New Solutions Highlights
“We believe our new private and white-label licensing, which integrates our proprietary technology will attract new customers, lower certain processing costs and operational risks, and expand gross margins. We are enthusiastic about the potential of developing this high-margin business and have made it a strategic focus in North America. To bolster our team and drive this strategy, we have appointed a fintech expert as our Managing Director of Northeast Merchant Systems (NEMS), as well as a VP of Compliance and a VP of Revenue,” Nisan continued.
“RYVYL remains at the forefront of delivering innovative technology and solutions to our customers. Our latest Gen 4 software employs RYVYL’s solutions, provides businesses and merchants with highly customizable, advanced, and efficient fintech payment solutions,” Nisan concluded.
Financial Summary for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2024
2024 Financial Outlook
The company expects full year 2024 revenue to be in the range of $65 million to $70 million and processing volumes to exceed $4 billion, with its international segment expected to comprise the largest portion of revenue in 2024. Third quarter 2024 revenue is expected to be in the range of $14 million to $15 million, followed by strong sequential revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA profitability in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP measure that represents our net loss before interest expense, amortization of debt discount, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities, losses on the extinguishment and derecognition expenses on the conversion of convertible debt, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, non-recurring provisions for credit losses on legacy matters, accounting fees related to the restatement of prior period financial statements, non-recurring costs related to the spin-off of a subsidiary, and legal costs and settlement fees incurred in connection with non-ordinary course litigation and other disputes.
We exclude these items in calculating Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that the exclusion of these items will provide for more meaningful information about our financial performance, and do not consider the excluded items to be part of our ongoing results of operations. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; (b) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation; (d) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and (e) other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside our other GAAP-based financial performance measures, net income (loss) and our other GAAP financial results. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods indicated:
