<br> **Usio Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results**

*Record Full Year Revenues, Processing Volume (up 19%) and Transactions Processed (up 30%)* 

SAN ANTONIO, March 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Usio, Inc. ("Usio" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: USIO), a leading Fintech company that operates a full stack of integrated, cloud-based electronic payment and embedded financial solutions, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.

Louis Hoch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Usio, said, "I am pleased to report another year of positive Adjusted EBITDA<sup>1</sup> and Cash Flow from Operations on solid revenue growth. In addition, we increased total processing volume to $8.4 billion, up 19% compared to 2024. As anticipated, the second half of the year was much improved from the first half, especially the fourth quarter, where revenue was up a strong 8% compared to the same quarter of 2024, providing a nice tail wind into fiscal 2026. Our goal is to continue to build our recurring revenue through innovative new products and services that not only appeal to the electronic payments needs of the market, but also earn us a greater share of our client's business to generate consistent attractive growth. Our highly scalable technology platform can support significant processing growth, so that we have a formula to drive strong improvement in cash flow and profits."

Results for the quarter were driven by revenue growth in our three largest businesses, ACH and complementary services, Credit Card and Output Solutions with full year revenue growth primarily attributable to the ongoing strength of ACH and complementary services.

ACH and complementary services generated another quarter of over 30% revenue growth during the fourth quarter compared to the same quarter of 2024 and ended the year up 33% for the year compared to 2024, in large part reflecting success cross-selling ACH into existing credit card and prepaid accounts. ACH had both record processing volume and transactions in both the quarter and the year. Credit card revenue growth remained solid, up 7% for the quarter and 3% for the year, in each case, as compared to the same period of 2024, where growth net of our legacy portfolio, primarily PayFac, was 13% for the quarter and 7% for the year, in each case, as compared to the same period of 2024. Our credit card business line also posted record volume and transactions. Output Solutions had a strong fourth quarter, growing revenues a healthy 6% compared to the same quarter of 2024, driving flat results for the year and has entered the new year with strong momentum that is already evident in the early months of 2026. Card issuing results were down from a year ago with virtually all of the decrease attributable to one of our best clients losing a large customer.

Gross margins were down modestly for both the quarter and the year, in each case, as compared to the same period of 2024, due primarily to product mix as well as a decrease in interest revenues, which carry a 100% margin. Selling, general and administrative expenses were up 10% for the year compared to the prior year, reflecting continued investment into our technology and support teams. It was also another year of strong cash flow, which was used to invest in strengthening the business and to repurchase $1.1 million of our stock over the course of 2025. The Company continues to enjoy a strong, essentially unlevered balance sheet, providing, in our view, more than sufficient resources to effect opportunistic organic and non-organic growth strategies. This is a strong set up for what we believe will be another year of both top line and Adjusted EBITDA<sup>1</sup> growth in 2026.

**<u>Fiscal 2026 Guidance</u>**

The Company continues to expect strong 10 - 12% growth in revenue in 2026 while also anticipating continued positive Adjusted EBITDA<sup>1</sup>. Our guidance is conditioned upon there being no appreciable deterioration in economic conditions.

<u>**Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Summary**</u>

Revenues were $22.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, up 8% compared to $20.6 million in the same period in 2024.

Revenues were up in our three largest businesses during the quarter with ACH and complementary services up 33%, credit card revenues up 7% and Output Solutions up 6%, in each case, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Within our credit card business line, revenue net of our legacy portfolio, primarily PayFac, was up 13% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. This growth was offset by a decrease in Prepaid revenues

Gross profits for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $4.9 million, down 4% from $5.1 million in the same period of 2024. Gross margins were 21.9% compared to 24.6% in the same period of 2024. Gross margins in the quarter primarily reflected a shift in revenue mix, as our higher margin prepaid revenues declined, and lower margin revenues from complementary services in our ACH and complementary service business lines increased, such as PINless debit. Margins in the fourth quarter of 2025 were also impacted by a decline in interest revenues versus the prior year period due to the lower interest rates and cash balances in the 2025 period.

The Company had an operating loss of $1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to an operating loss of $0.6 million in the same period of 2024, as result of increased in SG&A expense and lower gross profit margins.

Adjusted EBITDA<sup>1</sup> was negative $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, down $0.7 million from $0.5 million in the same period in 2024, due primarily to lower gross profit margins and a 12% increase in SG&A expense.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company generated $0.4 million of interest revenue compared to $0.5 million in the same quarter of 2024.

Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $1.5 million, or $(0.05) per share, compared to net income of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per share, for the same period in 2024. Results in the prior year quarter included the receipt and recognition of approximately $1.5 million in funds related to the employee retention tax credit.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased 206,149 shares of its common stock at an average price of $1.46 for a total cost of $300,872 as part of its share buyback program.

The Company experienced strong revenue growth during 2025 in its ACH and complementary services business segment, seeing a $5.5 million, or 33%, increase over 2024. Credit card revenues for 2025 were also up 3% compared to 2024, with our non-legacy credit card book of business, primarily PayFac, growing 7% in 2025 compared to 2024, mitigating attrition in our legacy credit card portfolio. Output Solutions revenues were flat on the year compared to the prior year, with revenue ramping up especially in the fourth quarter to offset a slow first half. Prepaid card services revenues were down during 2025 compared to 2024 for the reason previously noted. Total interest revenues were down 33%, or $0.8 million, during 2025 as compared to 2024 due to lower interest bearing deposits throughout 2025, alongside declines in interest rates.

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $19.7 million, up 0.4% from $19.6 million in 2024. Gross margins were 23.1% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 23.7% in 2024, generally reflecting a shift in business mix and decline in interest revenues over the year.

The Company reported $1.3 million in Adjusted EBITDA<sup>1</sup> for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2.9 million in 2024, due primarily to the increase in SG&A expense in 2025. The Company's 2025 year end cash balance was down only $0.6 million over the course of the year, despite utilizing $1.1 million on share repurchases in 2025. The Company reported a net loss of $2.5 million for 2025 compared to net income of $3.3 million for 2024. Net income in 2024 included approximately $3.1 million in federal tax benefit, alongside $1.7 million in federal employee retention tax credits. The Company reported a loss of $(0.09) per share in 2025, compared to earnings of $0.12 per share in 2024.

<u>**About Non-GAAP Financial Measures**</u>

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margins, as defined in Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company reports its financial results in compliance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), but believes that also discussing non-GAAP financial measures is helpful to investors as it provides them with financial measures the Company uses in the management of its business. The Company defines EBITDA as operating income (loss), before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangibles. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, as defined above, plus non-cash stock option costs and certain non-recurring items, such as costs related to acquisitions. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA margins as adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, divided by total revenues. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management uses EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margins as indicators of the Company's operating performance and ability to fund acquisitions, capital expenditures and other investments and, in the absence of refinancing options, to repay debt obligations.

Management believes EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margins are helpful to investors in evaluating the Company's operating performance because non-cash costs and other items that management believes are not indicative of its results of operations are excluded.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margins should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. They are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to revenue, or net income, as applicable, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other businesses. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margins have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider these Non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP.
