10% increase in revenue excluding interest 
15% volume growth led by B2B acceleration, up 48% year-over-year
Payoneer announced an agreement to be acquired by Nuvei on June 15, 2026

NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Payoneer Global Inc. ("Payoneer" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PAYO), the global financial technology company powering business growth across borders, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

"Payoneer's Q2 results reflect the strength of our business and execution of our team: double-digit revenue growth excluding interest, continued ARPU expansion, and a further acceleration of B2B volume growth to 48%. We've built highly differentiated assets over decades, including specialized infrastructure for cross border commerce, network effects that strengthen as we scale, and deep relationships with millions of global businesses who trust us to power their growth.

In June, we announced an agreement to be acquired by Nuvei. The transaction validates the strength of the business our team has built and by combining our complementary platforms, we will create a financial infrastructure leader that powers global commerce at scale."

John Caplan, Chief Executive Officer 

Second Quarter 2026 Business Highlights (unless otherwise noted)

• Revenue excluding interest income grew 10% year-over-year, driven by 15% volume growth led by a further acceleration in B2B volume growth.
• Volume of $23.7 billion increased 15% year-over-year, reflecting:
  • SMBs that sell on marketplaces volume of $12.4 billion up 2% year-over-year.
  • B2B volume of $4.3 billion, up 48% year-over-year driven by strong growth across all major regions and continued momentum acquiring larger customers, particularly in China and EMEA.
  • Checkout volume of $332 million, up 52% year-over-year.
  • Enterprise payouts volume of $6.6 billion, up 22% year-over-year.
• SMB customer revenue of $201 million grew 10% year-over-year, reflecting:
  • SMBs that sell on marketplaces revenue of $119 million, up 2% year-over-year.
  • B2B SMBs revenue of $69 million, up 18% year-over-year.
  • Checkout revenue of $13 million, up 51% year-over-year.

• $7.7 billion of customer funds (including both short-term and long-term funds) as of June 30, 2026. Customer funds growth of 10% year-over-year partially offsetting the impact of lower interest rates on year-over-year interest income.
• $16 million of share repurchases in Q2 2026 at a weighted average price of $4.91 per share.  During Q2, Payoneer suspended repurchases under its share repurchase program in connection with the proposed transaction with Nuvei and does not intend to resume repurchases going forward while the transaction is still pending.

Proposed Transaction with Nuvei 
As previously announced on June 15, 2026, Payoneer has entered into a definitive agreement under which Neon Maple Parent Inc., a corporation incorporated pursuant to the laws of Canada ("Nuvei") will acquire Payoneer. Under the terms of the agreement, Nuvei will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Payoneer Global Inc. for $7.40 per share in cash, representing a total transaction equity value of approximately $2.75 billion. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2027, subject to approval by Payoneer's shareholders, receipt of required regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions.

Upon completion of the transaction, Payoneer's shares will no longer trade on the NASDAQ, and Payoneer will become a private company.

No Offer or Solicitation

This press release is not intended to and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or the solicitation of any vote of approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as adjusted EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Payoneer uses certain non-GAAP measures to compare Payoneer's performance to that of prior periods for budgeting and planning purposes. Payoneer believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Payoneer's results of operations. Payoneer's method of determining these non-GAAP measures may be different from other companies' methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies and Payoneer does not recommend the sole use of these non-GAAP measures to assess its financial performance. Payoneer management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Payoneer's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. You should review Payoneer's financial statements, which are included in Payoneer's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and its subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Payoneer's business.  

Non-GAAP measures include the following items:

Adjusted EBITDA: We provide adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that represents our net income (loss) adjusted to exclude, as applicable: M&A related expense (income), stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring charges, loss (gain) from change in fair value of warrants and warrant repurchase/redemption, other financial expense (income), net, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA ex. Interest: represents Adjusted EBITDA excluding interest income.

Other companies may calculate the above measure differently, and therefore Payoneer's measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Additional Information and Definitions

In this earnings release, we reference volume, which is an operational metric. Volume refers to the total dollar value of transactions successfully completed or enabled by our platform, not including orchestration transactions. For a customer that both receives and later sends payments, we count the volume only once. Note: orchestration transactions ceased in 2024 and were related to our 2020 acquisition of optile GmbH.

We also reference ARPU (Average Revenue Per User), which is defined as the Revenue from Active Customers divided by the number of Active Customers over the period in which the Revenue was earned. Active Customers for these purposes are defined as Payoneer accountholders with at least 1 financial transaction over the period. Revenue from Active Customers represents revenue attributed to Active Customers based on their use of the Payoneer platform, including interest income earned from their balances, and excluding revenues unrelated to their activities.
