Total revenue for the first quarter of 2021 was $377.4 million, an increase of 5%, compared to $359.7 million in the prior year. The increase in revenue primarily reflects growth across the eCash business, which more than offset lower revenue from the Digital Wallet business. The impact of businesses divested during the last twelve months had a negative impact of 2%, compared to the prior year. Revenue performance also reflects the impact of actions taken in 2020 to improve the Company’s overall risk/reward profile in certain markets and channels, which had an unfavorable impact on year over year growth.
Net loss attributable to the Company for the first quarter was $49.1 million, compared to $51.1 million, in the prior year. Results included interest expense of $58.5 million, an increase of 53% compared to the prior year, reflecting the expense of capitalized debt fees as a result of debt repayment on March 31, 2021. Net loss also included share-based compensation of $72.4 million, compared to none in the prior year due to shares vested on completion of the Transaction. These impacts were partially offset by lower credit losses compared to the prior year. Additionally, the first quarter of 2020 included an impairment charge of $53.0 million, related to Integrated Processing intangible assets
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was $113.2 million, compared to $112.8 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased approximately 140 basis points to 30.0%, primarily due to changes in merchant and revenue mix in Integrated Processing and Digital Wallet, offset by eCash Solutions margin expansion.
First quarter net cash provided by operating activities was $48.7 million, compared to $11.6 million in the prior year. Free cash flow was $108.5 million, compared to $84.4 million in the prior year. Free cash flow benefited from the utilization of bank guarantees totaling approximately $45 million in the first quarter of 2021.

Integrated Processing. Revenue for the first quarter was $176.9 million, a decrease of 5%, compared to $186.2 million in the prior year, partially reflecting the divestment of Pay Later in October of 2020. Excluding this impact, revenue declined 1% as growth primarily from U.S. payments processing and iGaming eCommerce was offset by lower revenue from our direct marketing channel. Adjusted EBITDA was $44.9 million, compared to $55.2 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.4% decreased 420 basis points year over year due to merchant and channel mix.
Digital Wallet. Revenue for the first quarter was $94.9 million, a decrease of 13%, compared to $108.5 million in the prior year. The decrease in revenue reflects lower volume as a result of targeted actions and country exits that occurred in 2020. Adjusted EBITDA was $37.8 million, compared to $53.7 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 39.8% decreased 970 basis points year over year driven by changes in gross profit margin due to business mix and continued investment in marketing and operations.
eCash Solutions. Revenue for the first quarter was $112.9 million, an increase of 63%, compared to $69.1 million in the prior year, driven by extended COVID-19 lockdowns in Europe and an associated increase in online consumer spending in all verticals. Adjusted EBITDA was $48.1 million, compared to $22.9 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 42.6% increased 950 basis points year over year driven by higher gross profit, primarily driven by revenue growth.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures of Financial Performance
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. This includes Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization), Gross Profit Margin (excluding depreciation and amortization), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Free cash flow and Free cash flow conversion, which are supplemental measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization) is defined as revenue less cost of services (excluding depreciation and amortization). Gross Profit Margin (excluding depreciation and amortization) is defined as Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization) as a percentage of revenue. Management believes Gross Profit to be a useful profitability measure to assess the performance of our businesses and ability to manage cost.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income/(loss) before the impact of income tax (benefit)/expense, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, impairment expense on intangible assets, restructuring and other costs, loss/(gain) on disposal of a subsidiaries and other assets, net, and other income/(expense), net. These adjustments also include certain costs and transaction items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Revenue. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA to be a useful profitability measure to assess the performance of our businesses and improves the comparability of operating results across reporting periods.
Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows provided by/used in operating activities, adjusted for the impact of capital expenditure, payments relating to restructuring and other costs, cash paid for interest and movements in customer accounts and other restricted cash. Capital expenditure includes purchases of property plant & equipment and purchases of other intangible assets, including software development costs. Capital expenditure does not include purchases of merchant portfolios. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information about the amount of cash generated by the business.
Management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, including Gross Profit, Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, when considered together with the Company’s results presented in accordance with GAAP, provide users with useful supplemental information in comparing the operating results across reporting periods by excluding items that are not considered indicative of Paysafe’s core operating performance. In addition, management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information in assessing the Company’s results on a basis that fosters comparability across periods by excluding the impact on the Company’s reported GAAP results of acquisitions and dispositions that have occurred in such periods. However, these non-GAAP measures exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Paysafe’s financial results or position. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to revenue, net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP.
You should be aware that Paysafe’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. In addition, the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Gross Profit provided herein have not been reconciled to comparable GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. We have reconciled the historical non-GAAP financial measures presented herein to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of our forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the adjusting items necessary for such reconciliations that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
