Press release




HiPay maintains strong annual growth at +13.4% and increases its margins.

In a continued growth momentum, HiPay has achieved a 4.4% increase in payment volumes
and a 13.4% increase in revenue in 2024. The billing rate has improved (0.81% vs. 0.75%).

In France, HiPay’s market dynamic is strong, with 302 new contracts signed in the retail sector.
The Digital/iGaming sectors continued to grow over the period. Revenue outside France rose
by a substantial +20%, reflecting strong volume growth in Portugal, Italy and Germany.

By combining this growth with better control of acquisition costs, and due to
product/customer mix effects, the Group reports a sharp rise in gross operating margin
(+ €6.9m).



Operating profitability

Continued cost-containment efforts, though to a lesser extent than in 2023, enabled the
Group to keep the increase in payroll and overheads (+€6.3m) below the increase in operating
margin (+ €6.9m), generating EBITDA representing 14.5% of revenue and current operating
income of 8.4% of revenue.


Non-current, financial and net income

Non-current operating income amounted to €1.3m (vs. an expense of €1.0m in 2023). The
financial result improved (+ €0.6m) due to foreign exchange gains and interest on investments
of €382K. Net income improved from €3.6m to €5.8m, representing 7.9% of revenue.



Financial structure

On December 31, 2024, cash was up by €11.2m and financial debt (including IFRS 16) was up by
€7.6m. This is mainly due to cash generated by operations of €11.2m, a (non-recurring)
increase in working capital of €2.9m, and financial debt flows of +€6.5m (including new loans
of €9m).


Outlook

Hybrid shopping journeys, increasingly favored by consumers, are driving merchants to adopt
unified commerce. After a last quarter marked by a third of new customers choosing
omnichannel with HiPay, we anticipate sustained growth in this trend in 2025, both in our
existing base and among our new customers.

Press release




At the same time, the quest for fluidity at checkout is accelerating the adoption of digital
wallets. Their integration by our merchant is generating immediate results, with market share
reaching 20% in the first few weeks, with significant effects expected in 2025.

Deferred or installment payment solutions (BNPL - Buy Now, Pay Later) are also continuing to
grow, particularly in sectors where price is a barrier to purchase. Driven by growing demand,
they are gradually establishing themselves as an essential conversion lever, and will continue
to grow strongly in 2025.

Growth forecasts for 2025 are expected to be between 5 and 10%, taking into account the
growth drivers mentioned above, but remaining cautious given the current wait-and-see
attitude towards consumption growth in Europe.

In addition, the Group continues to work on structuring its technical and material organization,
increasing its margins and, via new customers, preparing its future growth drivers.
