Deluxe reports Q4 adjusted EPS 84c, consensus 83c

Reports Q4 revenue $520.5M, consensus $534.02M. We drove four consecutive quarters of operating leverage in 2024, with comparable adjusted EBITDA growth outpacing our revenue trajectory for the second year in a row. We deployed our improving free cash flow to reduce net debt while continuing to invest for growth across our Payments and Data platforms and paying our regular dividend. All of this means our North Star earnings and cash flow acceleration plan is on-track,” said Barry McCarthy, President and CEO of Deluxe (DLX). “Our full-year mid-single-digit or greater revenue growth in both the Data Solutions and Merchant Services segments provides us momentum entering 2025.”
