What's Driving CPAY's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown

46/46 datapoints verified

AI-extracted from CORPAY, INC.'s 10-Q filed 2026-05-08 — Q1 2026 (quarter ended March 31, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.

Corpay's Q1 revenue surged 25.4% YoY to $1.26B, driven by 11% organic growth and $200M acquisition contribution, with operating income nearly doubling to $636M amid PayByPhone's $121M divestiture gain.

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Total revenue: $1,261.0M+25.4% YoY

Vehicle Payments$563.9M+18.9% YoY

Corporate Payments$503.9M+46.0% YoY

Lodging Payments$111.0M+0.7% YoY

Minimal growth from higher revenue per room night in airlines/workforce solutions, offset by lower FEMA emergency room night volumes.

Other$82.2M+8.1% YoY

Strong transaction volume growth in Gift and Payroll Card businesses with improved revenue per transaction in Gift.

Largest Expense Items

Processing$272.1M+22.6% YoY

Increased by acquisition-related deal fees, IT investments, $19M from acquisitions and $7M negative FX impact.

Selling$148.2M+37.8% YoY

Depreciation and amortization$114.8M+24.6% YoY

Increased from capital investments, $22M from acquisitions, and $4M FX impact.

Margins: Operating margin expanded to 50.4% from 42.5% YoY, driven by $121.4M PayByPhone divestiture gain, organic growth and acquisition synergies; adjusted EBITDA margin was 54.6% versus 55.2%, reflecting margin pressure from sales investments and new customer mixes offsetting scale benefits.

Watch Items from the Filing

  • FTC litigation ongoing: Eleventh Circuit affirmed liability judgment on Jan 6, 2026, and denied en banc review May 5, 2026; company unable to estimate possible losses, creating contingent liability risk.
  • Geographic concentration: 43% US, 17% Brazil, 16% UK, 24% Other; Brazil and UK exposure to FX volatility ($62M FX benefit in Q1 alone).
  • Significant recent acquisitions creating integration risk: Alpha ($2.4B, closed Oct 2025, preliminary accounting), AvidXchange partnership ($578M for 35%, 33-month call option at 2.5x cost), Gringo ($154M, Feb 2025).
  • PayByPhone divestiture completed Q1 2026 for $420M net proceeds generated $121.4M gain; loss of revenue stream though limited operational impact on future quarters.
  • Customer concentration: Mastercard invested $300M for 2.3% noncontrolling interest in cross-border business with put/call rights, creating potential dilution or capital calls starting Aug 2027.
