"Paysign delivered a strong start to 2026, with exceptional top- and bottom-line results that are consistent with our strategic direction and the scalability of the platform we've built," said Mark Newcomer, President and CEO of Paysign. "Our plasma donor compensation business continues to perform exceptionally well, and the reception to our SaaS solutions from collectors and plasmapheresis manufacturers across the U.S., Europe and Asia reinforces our conviction that purpose-built technology, backed by deep industry expertise, creates a competitive advantage. Patient affordability emerged as our largest revenue contributor in the quarter, with 135 active programs and a strong pipeline that reflects the trust pharmaceutical manufacturers place in Paysign to help patients access and afford the therapies they need. As this business grows, we are positioned to deliver long-term value for our shareholders, our customers and the patients we serve."

**2026 First Quarter Results**

Total revenues increased 50.8%, or $9.44 million, to $28.04 million, up from $18.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. Pharma industry revenue increased 81.9% to $15.68 million from $8.62 million due to the financial benefit of 45 net pharma patient affordability programs launched during the past 12 months, and a corresponding increase in monthly management fees, setup fees, claim processing fees and other billable services such as dynamic business rules and customer service contact center support. Processed claims increased by approximately 49% compared to the first quarter of 2025. Plasma revenue increased 24.9% to $11.75 million, up from $9.41 million, primarily due to the addition of 89 net plasma centers added during the past 12 months. The average monthly revenue per center increased to $6,671 versus $6,517 and the average number of loads per center increased for the first time since the industry experienced an inventory correction that began in 2024. We exited the quarter with 573 centers versus 595 centers at the end of 2025 as 20 centers were sold to companies who use a competing provider and two underperforming centers were closed. Combined, these centers averaged less than $3,500 per month in revenue, performing below the corporate average.

Cost of revenues increased 42.2% due to increased call center support expense associated with the revenue growth, a new customer service contact center that went live in November 2025 and higher employee costs. Gross profit improved to 65.0% compared to 62.9% in the first quarter of 2025 as we experienced a greater mix of pharma revenue.

Total operating expenses were $11.55 million compared to $9.20 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 25.5%. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 20.5% to $8.91 million. Of that amount, stock compensation expense increased 91.0% to $1.28 million. Depreciation and amortization increased by $835 thousand, or 46.4%, due mainly to the amortization of intangible assets from our Gamma acquisition and continued capitalization of new software development costs and equipment purchases related to the enhancement to our processing platform. Operating margin was 23.8% compared to 13.4% in the first quarter of 2025.

The company recorded an income tax provision of $2.03 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 27.2%, up $1.36 million from the first quarter of 2025 and a tax rate of 20.5%. The effective tax rates reflect adjustments for discrete quarterly items and tax benefits from stock-based compensation. The significant driver in the discrete item adjustment in the first quarter of 2026 was primarily related to the increase in stock price at March 31, 2026, when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Net income for the quarter totaled $5.44 million, or $0.09 per fully diluted share, an increase of 110.3% from $2.59 million, or $0.05 per fully diluted share, reported in the first quarter of 2025. On a non-GAAP basis, EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, increased by $5.01 million, or 116.9%, to $9.30 million. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes stock-based compensation from EBITDA and is used by management to evaluate core operating performance, rose $5.63 million, or 113.4%, to $10.59 million, or $0.17 per fully diluted share.

**Balance Sheet at March 31, 2026**

The company's cash flows increased $14.51 million from December 31, 2025, largely related to the improvement in our operating results, growth of existing customer programs and the launch of new customer programs.

During the first quarter of 2026, unrestricted cash decreased by $523 thousand to $20.55 million. The decline was attributable to the timing of operating asset and liability payments, capital investments in intangible and fixed assets and payments of other liabilities associated with the Gamma acquisition. Offsetting these cash outflows were net income and non-cash adjustments.

Restricted cash increased $15.03 million to $158.95 million from December 31, 2025, primarily related to customer program deposits for our plasma and pharma customers of $9.71 million and an increase in funds on card of $5.32 million. Restricted cash are funds used for customer card funding and pharmaceutical claim reimbursements with a corresponding offset under current liabilities.

**2026 Outlook**

"Our first quarter results exceeded guidance across every line of the income statement," commented Jeff Baker, Chief Financial Officer of Paysign. "Revenue, operating margin and net income all finished above the high end of our prior ranges, driven by fixed cost leverage and a continued mix shift toward patient affordability. We are reiterating our full-year 2026 ranges, and the momentum from the first quarter supports our confidence in achieving the upper half of our guidance ranges."

"The table below details our second quarter and full-year 2026 outlook," continued Baker. "The second quarter reflects the seasonal pattern we have laid out previously: pharma revenue is highest in the first quarter as patient affordability claims peak, and plasma builds through the balance of the year. For the full year, we continue to expect plasma and pharma to contribute roughly equally to revenue, with margins expanding across the income statement and net income nearly doubling over 2025 as patient affordability scales. With a strong unrestricted cash position, no bank debt and a growing cash flow profile, we are well positioned to fund our 2026 investment plans and execute against the financial framework we have communicated."

*Paysign expects to exit the second quarter of 2026 with 147–150 active patient affordability programs and 555–560 plasma centers.*

**<sup>2</sup>** *The company is unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (and net income per diluted share), without unreasonable effort due to the variability, complexity and low visibility of certain reconciling items. These items include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation and other non-recurring items, which could have a material impact on GAAP results.*

**Paysign, Inc. Non-GAAP Measures**

To supplement Paysign's financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP measures that exclude from net income the following cash and non-cash items: interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. We believe these non-GAAP measures used by management to gauge the operating performance of the business help investors better evaluate our past financial performance and potential future results. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP accounting, and investors should read them in conjunction with the company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures we use may be different from, and not directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

"EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. "Adjusted EBITDA" reflects the adjustment to EBITDA to exclude stock-based compensation charges.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to represent cash flows from operations, operating income or net income as defined by U.S. GAAP as indicators of operating performances. Management cautions that amounts presented in accordance with Paysign's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.
