REPAY Becomes a Leading Consumer Bill Payment Provider
Announces Investor Day for December 2026
Repay Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:RPAY) ("REPAY" or the "Company"), a leading provider of integrated payment processing solutions, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Kubra Data Transfer LTD. ("KUBRA"). Under the terms of the agreement, REPAY acquired KUBRA for $372 million in cash. REPAY announced the definitive agreement to acquire KUBRA on March 30, 2026.
"With the addition of KUBRA, REPAY expands our position as a leading Consumer Bill Payment Provider with the technology and market position to lead the digital journey across the payment ecosystem," said John Morris, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of REPAY. "We expect KUBRA will significantly increase our revenue, engage with over 40% of U.S. and Canadian households every month, and process over $130 billion in combined annual payment volumes as we serve non-discretionary categories with reoccurring billing cycles."
The Company previously outlined the combined value creation opportunities of approximately $15+ million of annual run-rate costs synergies and approximately $5+ million of technology savings over the next three years through combining operations, platform consolidation, and other scale efficiencies. REPAY expects to achieve approximately $8 million of the identified run-rate expense synergies during 2026. REPAY expects the transaction to unlock additional value with expected revenue opportunities of approximately $5+ million by 2028 as REPAY benefits from offering bill presentment, communications services, a payment engine, and core processing solutions across all clients.
REPAY continues to expect Free Cash Flow accretion1 of 25% by 2028. In the supplemental materials published today, REPAY has outlined the multi-year value creation roadmap to realizing the identified synergies and savings, along with the near-term costs to achieve the estimated 2028 run-rate savings.
At closing, REPAY combined net leverage2 is approximately 4.0x and REPAY expects to reduce net leverage to below 3.0x within 18 months. The transaction was funded with debt financing and cash on hand. In connection with the transaction, REPAY has received financing of $500 million senior secured term loan, along with a $100 million undrawn revolving credit facility.
For the full year 2026, REPAY is raising its outlook to incorporate KUBRA's expected contributions for the remaining 7 months. KUBRA is expected to contribute between $150 million and $154 million in revenue and between $27.5 million and $30 million in Adjusted EBITDA3 for the remainder of 2026. On an organic basis, REPAY expects approximately 10% to 12% revenue growth. REPAY is now expecting the following financial results for full year 2026:
Prior FY2026 Outlook | Updated FY2026 Outlook | ||
| Revenue | $340 - 346 million | $490 - 500 million | |
| Adjusted EBITDA4 | $141 - 146 million | $168.5 - 176 million | |
| Free Cash Flow Conversion | 45% | 30% | |
| Adjusted FCF Conversion | 35% |
As a reminder, Free Cash Flow includes net interest expense. Adjusted Free Cash Flow represents Free Cash Flow plus in year technology, merger, and integration costs associated with synergy realization. Free Cash Flow Conversion represents Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion represents Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA.
REPAY does not provide quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking, non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow Conversion, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion, net leverage and organic revenue growth, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because it is difficult to reliably predict or estimate the relevant components without unreasonable effort due to future uncertainties that may potentially have a significant impact on such calculations, and providing them may imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or potentially misleading.
