$USIO projects 14-16 % revenue growth in 2025 after Q1 sales rose 5 % to
$22 M and payment volume jumped 34 % to
$2 B. High-margin ACH (70 %+ gross) and PayFac-as-a-Service drive the story: ACH revenue up 30 %, PayFac up 25 %, offsetting legacy card attrition. Cash flow is positive—about
$0.7 M free cash in Q1—leaving
$8.7 M cash and no debt, so expansion can proceed without dilution. Growth levers: embedding PayFac in SaaS stacks, cross-selling ACH to current clients, and adding prepaid and Output Solutions contracts. Management targets operating leverage as PayFac scales, aiming for sustained profitability by 2026. Risks: pricing pressure, compliance costs, and prepaid softness, but disciplined capital use and a niche vertical focus give Usio a credible path to become a profitable, vertically-integrated payments specialist.
