Management Commentary

 

We are pleased with our first quarter results, particularly the growth in the number of PaySign cardholders,” said Mark Newcomer, Chief Executive Officer, 3PEA International. “Our pipeline remains strong, and our financial discipline has paid off, as we are now debt free, all of which enhances our ability to generate free cash flow and earnings growth.”

 

“Our results in the first quarter of 2017 reinforce our revenue growth expectations for 2017, as we continue to expect revenue growth in 2017 to outpace the previous year’s revenue growth rate of 28%. Despite the seasonality normally experienced in the first quarter, we recorded a 47% increase in revenue when compared to the previous year’s first quarter as we continue to expand the PaySign cardholder base,” said Brian Polan, Chief Financial Officer, 3PEA International. “Our earnings for the quarter were slightly impacted by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as the Company added necessary staff required to facilitate the onboarding of new prepaid card programs expected to launch later in the year.”
