Deluxe reports Q1 adjusted EPS $1.05, consensus 91c

Reports Q1 revenue $538.1M, consensus $534.97M. “We extended our strong 2025 performance through the first quarter of the year, with robust revenue expansion specifically across the Data Solutions and Merchant Services segments. We also grew comparable adjusted EBITDA nearly 20%, expanding the margin rate by more than 300 basis points,” said Barry McCarthy, CEO. “We achieved two long-term strategic milestones, reaching our 3x leverage target and shifting mix towards Payments and Data that now together represent more than 50% of revenue.” “In addition to the strong results for the first quarter, we closed on the Safeguard divestiture, further positioning the on-going portfolio toward our growing Payments and Data businesses,” said CFO Chip Zint. “Strong continuing free cash flows drove our sustaining debt reduction trajectory, positioning our balance sheet to support future growth. We are well-positioned to continue the strong momentum through the balance of the year.”
