Full-year guidance raised: Revenue and adjusted EPS guidance both lifted

Evertec, a payments and financial technology provider serving Latin America, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean, posted Q2 2026 (ended June 30) revenue of $274.8 million, up 20% from $229.6 million a year earlier, as organic growth combined with the contribution from recent acquisitions. On a constant-currency basis, revenue rose 16% to $265.7 million, showing that core growth is not simply a foreign-exchange story. Merchant acquiring benefited from improvements in volume, non-transaction revenue, and net interchange spread; Puerto Rico payments was lifted by growth in point-of-sale transactions and ATH Móvil (enterprise-focused), alongside a one-time transaction-volume benefit recognized during the quarter. Latin America was supported by recent acquisitions, regional organic growth, and roughly $9.1 million of Brazil-led foreign-exchange tailwind.

Adjusted EBITDA reached $109.3 million, up about $16.8 million (approximately 18%) year-over-year, while adjusted net income was $64.8 million and adjusted EPS was $1.05, up 18% from $0.89 a year earlier. The company returned $50.1 million to shareholders through buybacks and dividends, and the board expanded the share repurchase authorization to $150 million. Strategic agreements with Transbank in Chile and Clip in Mexico also reinforce the Latin America expansion narrative.

Negatives

Sharp GAAP earnings drop: Net income attributable to common shareholders of $5.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, was significantly lower year-over-year

One-time and acquisition-related costs: Impairment from the wind-down of an equity-method investment, cybersecurity response, and acquisition integration, amortization, and interest burden

Business Solutions softness: Revenue in the segment fell due to a 10% discount applied to Popular

On a GAAP basis, the print looks subdued. Q2 2026 net income attributable to common shareholders was $5.4 million ($0.09 per diluted share), down sharply from $40.5 million ($0.62) a year earlier. The company cited an impairment tied to the strategic wind-down of an equity-method investment, costs related to the response to and recovery from a cybersecurity incident, integration expenses and higher amortization of intangibles from recent acquisitions, and higher interest expense from financing the acquisitions. Tax expense also rose, as one-time items overlapped, including tax on a dividend used to fund the Dimensa acquisition, a valuation allowance on a capital loss, and a higher mix of revenue from higher-tax foreign jurisdictions.

Operating income was $53.3 million, modestly below $56.1 million a year earlier, and interest expense rose to $20.3 million from $16.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 39.8%, slightly down from 40.3% a year earlier, reflecting the higher Latin America mix with a different margin profile. Business Solutions revenue declined because of the 10% Popular discount applied since Q4 2025, and the one-time transaction-volume benefit within Puerto Rico payments may not repeat, so the next-quarter baseline will need to be monitored.

What Management Said

Management characterized Q2 as a strong quarter in which organic growth, acquisition contributions, and strategic execution came together, and said the raised full-year guidance is grounded in first-half results and the second-half outlook. The tone leans toward expansion rather than defense, with adjusted results and core business growth cited as evidence of the underlying business's health.

The key market takeaway is the raised guidance on adjusted measures rather than the GAAP earnings softness. Revenue growth guidance was lifted from 15.1% to 16.4% to roughly 16.4% to 17.5%, and adjusted EPS growth guidance from 6.6% to 9.9% to 8.8% to 11.7%; guidance for adjusted EBITDA margin of 39% to 40%, capital expenditure of about $90 million, and an adjusted effective tax rate of roughly 11% to 12% was maintained. The expanded buyback authorization and Latin America partnerships also read as a signal that growth and shareholder returns are being pursued in parallel.

Market Reaction and What to Watch Next

The after-hours bid appears to be driven primarily by adjusted revenue and EPS coming in ahead of expectations alongside an upward revision to full-year guidance. The sharp decline in GAAP net income is largely one-time in nature, linked to impairment, cybersecurity, and acquisition-related items, so the market putting more weight on adjusted results and the upgraded outlook is a natural interpretation. The expanded buyback authorization and Latin America strategic partnerships were also likely read as incremental support for the growth story.

Progress against the raised full-year revenue and adjusted EPS guidance needs to be tracked through the second half.

Watch how long the Popular discount continues to weigh on Business Solutions revenue, and monitor Puerto Rico payments growth after the one-time transaction-volume benefit rolls off.

Monitor whether acquisition-related amortization and interest expense, along with adjusted EBITDA margin, hold within the 39% to 40% guidance range.
