Summary by Gemini:
Financial Performance (H1 2025 vs. H1 2024):
- Net Revenue: Increased by 20% to €1.09 billion (21% on a constant currency basis)- estimates were 1.11B (MISS)
- Net Income: Grew by 17% to €480.96 million.
- Processed Volume: Increased by 5% to €649 billion. Excluding a single large-volume customer, processed volume was up 23%. - Estimates were €662.19B (MISS)
- EBITDA: Rose 28% to €543.7 million.
- EBITDA Margin: Improved to 50%, up from 46% in the prior year.
- Earnings per share (EPS): Grew to €15.22 from €13.15.
Key Business Drivers:
- The company's growth was primarily driven by increasing its share of business with existing customers.
- The Digital processed volume decreased by 9%, but increased 18% when excluding a single large-volume customer. The growth was tempered by changes to U.S. tariffs, which particularly affected large online retail merchants headquartered in the APAC region.
- Unified Commerce volume increased by 35%.
- Platforms processed volume increased by 20% (or 59% excluding eBay).
Outlook for 2025 and 2026:
- Adyen now expects its full-year 2025 net revenue growth to be broadly in line with the first half's performance, as the previously anticipated acceleration is now considered unlikely due to lower-than-expected market volume growth.
- The company expects EBITDA margin to expand in 2025, but at a more moderate rate than in 2024.
- For fiscal year 2026, Adyen aims for annual net revenue growth between the low-twenties and high-twenties percent and an EBITDA margin above 50%
First market reaction was almost -20%, -16.5% as of this writing.
My interpretation:
- Missing estimates for a company as as highly priced as ADYEN (~50P/E) is deadline in the current market. The selloff is thus unsurprising.
- Margins were already good and improved further. The large-volume customer (not sure which one this is, ADYEN never specified it) leaving was already known and not neccesarily a bad thing as they got way lower margins.
- I'm still optimistic about ADYENs moat and future perspective and see the current price as a good moment to add or start a position. I do expect price targets to decrease as their growth appears to decrease.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
