"Group")
Trading Update
Continued strong performance, platform
phased rollout on-track Q4 2024
W.A.G payment solutions plc ("Eurowag", or the
"Group") a leading pan-European integrated payments and mobility
platform focused on the Commercial Road Transportation ("CRT")
industry, today announces its trading update for the nine-month
period ending 30 September 2024.
Martin
Vohánka, CEO and Founder said:
"We continued to deliver high double-digit
revenue growth for the first nine months of the year. I am
particularly pleased with the pace in which we are migrating our
customers onto our new integrated platform, which offers our
customers a one-stop shop for tailored solutions enabling them to
save costs and enhance their operational efficiencies. Having
trialled the Eurowag Office platform with over 250,000 users so
far, we remain on track for the phased roll out of the app to new
customers in Q4 this year. All of this gives me confidence that we
will continue delivering value for all stakeholders and our full
year expectations remain unchanged."
Financial
highlights:
·
Total net revenue for the 9 months to 30 September 2024 grew
17.4% to €215.7 million, supported by growth across both our
payment and mobility revenues. Net revenue growth in the period
would have been 11.6%, assuming a full contribution from Inelo from
1 January 2023.
o Mobility
solutions revenue grew 20.1%, as a result of continued growth
across all products and partly the annualisation of
Inelo.
o Payment
solutions revenue grew 15.4%, mostly driven by strong growth from
toll revenues.
· Net
revenue for the last twelve months grew 20.7% to €288.5
million.
· Q3
2024 net revenue grew 15.5% to €74.6 million (Q3 2023: €64.6
million)
o Mobility
solutions revenue grew 3.4%, reflecting in part the timing of two
large contract wins in Sygic in Q3 2023.

Note: An active customer or truck is
defined as using the Group's payment solutions products at least
once in a given month.
Growth in active payment solutions trucks has
been driven by targeted campaigns to accelerate acquisitions,
re-activation and cross-sell in energy and toll services, including
the promotion of our toll EVA onboard unit.

Outlook and
guidance

pressures in the CRT industry. The delivery of the platform
