Q3 2024 HIGHLIGHTS
- Revenue up 24% versus Q3 2023
- Net income up 115% versus Q3 2023
- Adjusted EBITDA up 61% versus Q3 2023
- Cash flow from operating activities up 114% versus Q3 2023
- Raising guidance range for full-year 2024
ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), an original innovator in global payments technology, announced financial results today for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
“We are very pleased with our third quarter results and the continued positive momentum in the business. We saw particular strength within our Bank and Merchant segments and are once again raising our full-year outlook,” said Thomas Warsop, president and CEO of ACI Worldwide. “This year the team has done a tremendous job signing renewal contracts earlier in the year. This initiative is enabling our commercial team to spend more time on prospects and winning new business, which has allowed us to outperform our forecasts. Further, signing these new contracts earlier in the year helps reduce the heavy seasonality we have historically seen and simply reduces the risk of attaining our full-year financial guidance.
“Our pipelines remain strong across our segments, and we are well-positioned for future growth as we continue to invest in innovation, execute on our strategy, and deliver value to our customers and shareholders.”
“Our cash flow from operating activities increased 114% over Q3 last year and we exited the quarter with net debt leverage ratio of 1.6x adjusted EBITDA, with approximately $650 million in liquidity,” said Scott Behrens, chief financial officer of ACI Worldwide. “Our strong cash flow growth and our lowest leverage in over a decade, combined with our improved outlook for 2024 and our expectations for continued strength in 2025, enable us to reduce our long-term stated leverage target from 2.5x to 2.0x. We will continue to maintain a disciplined, long-term focused capital allocation strategy that balances re-investment in the business, accretive M&A and share repurchases, while maintaining a strong balance sheet with ample liquidity and financial flexibility.”
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
In Q3 2024, revenue was $452 million, up 24% from Q3 2023. Net income was $81 million, up 115% from $38 million in Q3 2023. Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2024 was $167 million, up 61% from Q3 2023. Cash flow from operating activities in Q3 2024 was $54 million, up 114% from $25 million in Q3 2023.
- Bank segment revenue increased 43% in Q3 2024 and Bank segment adjusted EBITDA increased 69% versus Q3 2023.
- Merchant segment revenue increased 38% in Q3 2024 and Merchant segment adjusted EBITDA increased 159% versus Q3 2023.
- Biller segment revenue increased 5% in Q3 2024 and Biller segment adjusted EBITDA decreased 21%. Q3 2023 included certain one-time non-recurring margin benefits that did not recur in Q3 2024.
ACI ended Q3 2024 with $178 million in cash on hand and a debt balance of $1 billion, which represents a net debt leverage ratio of 1.6x adjusted EBITDA.
During the quarter the company repurchased approximately 200,000 shares for $8 million in capital and year-to-date 2024 has repurchased approximately 4 million shares for $128 million in capital. At the end of the quarter, the company had $372 million remaining available on the share repurchase authorization.
RAISING 2024 GUIDANCE
For the full year of 2024, we are raising our guidance for both revenue and adjusted EBITDA. We now expect revenue to be in the range of $1.567 billion to $1.601 billion, up from the range of $1.557 billion to $1.591 billion.

To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measures indicated in the tables, which exclude significant transaction-related expenses, as well as other significant non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation, that we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to our GAAP results and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management generally compensates for limitations in the use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying on comparable GAAP financial measures and providing investors with a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way to view aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Certain non-GAAP measures include:
- Adjusted EBITDA: net income (loss) plus income tax expense (benefit), net interest income (expense), net other income (expense), depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation, as well as significant transaction-related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income (loss).
- Net Adjusted EBITDA Margin: Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue net of pass-through interchange revenue. Net Adjusted EBITDA Margin should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income (loss).
- Diluted EPS adjusted for non-cash and significant transaction related items: diluted EPS plus tax effected significant transaction related items, amortization of acquired intangibles and software, and non-cash stock-based compensation. Diluted EPS adjusted for non-cash and significant transaction related items should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, diluted EPS.
- Recurring Revenue: revenue from software as a service and platform as a service fees and maintenance fees. Recurring revenue should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, total revenue.
- ARR: New annual recurring revenue expected to be generated from new accounts, new applications, and add-on sales bookings contracts signed in the period.
