D-Wave Quantum falls nearly 3% as earnings miss overshadows revenue beat
Investing.com -- W.A.G Payment Solutions, also known as Eurowag, has projected a stable performance this year following a swing to pretax profit in 2024.
Shares rose 1.5% in London trading Tuesday.
The UK-listed integrated payments and mobility platform expressed its expectation of low-teen net revenue growth in 2025, with a maintained earnings margin before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
Eurowag observed signs of economic recovery in the first quarter, noting improvements in the truck load spot market and kilometers driven in some of its larger markets, including Poland. However, it also acknowledged the ongoing uncertainty of the macroeconomic outlook across Europe.
The company’s guidance aligns with the net revenue growth of 14% it reported for 2024. Last year, total revenue increased by 7.1% to 2.24 billion euros ($2.42 billion). The adjusted Ebitda margin slightly declined to 41.6% from 42.4% due to increased credit losses.
The London-listed group transitioned to a pretax profit of 11.7 million euros for the year ending December 31, 2024, a significant change compared to the pretax loss of 39.3 million euros in 2023 caused by a non-cash goodwill impairment.
In response to its strong cash generation, Eurowag proposed a special dividend of 3.0 per share. The board plans to assess the business’ cash generation and invest in its stated capital allocation priorities before returning cash to shareholders.
