Q1 revenue grew 30.2% year over year, transactions grew 17.4%, and adjusted EBITDA grew 41.5%. Management issued FY2026 revenue guidance of $1.425-$1.440 billion and adjusted EBITDA guidance of $165-$172 million; future results must validate that outlook.

Paymentus announced patented Billeo and BillWallet technologies and an AI-native service-commerce category in its investor-relations release.
