Tyro this morning reported its first-half result for the 2022 financial year, booking record transaction value and revenue outcomes.
A 31% lift in transaction value was achieved, delivering a record 6-month of $15.8 billion processed from more than 61,500 merchants partnering with Tyro – an impressive accomplishment in a period punctuated by lockdowns that impacted many of Tyro’s merchants, particularly hospitality and retail merchants in NSW, Victoria and ACT. Tyro’s Alliance with Bendigo Bank generated significant momentum, contributing for a full six-months for the first time.
Tyro’s payments business performed strongly whilst still carrying the cost of actions designed to assist merchants as Covid lockdowns continued. This included the provision of terminal rental relief to Covid impacted merchants, and the deferral of pricing adjustments typically made annually to offset scheme/interchange fee changes. Tyro’s strong transaction value growth drove a 25% lift in statutory gross profit (to $68.1 million) for the Group’s payments business. After allowing for the gross profit share payable under the Bendigo Bank Alliance, the normalised gross profit lift for the payments business was 20% (to $65.0 million).
At a Group level (including Tyro’s banking business) statutory gross profit was up 16% to $71.2 million. A positive EBITDA result of $2.8 million was achieved and, whilst lower than the $8.5 million generated in H1 FY21, reflected continuing investment in growth initiatives including the recently announced exclusive partnership with Telstra, the absence of any JobKeeper benefits, wage inflation and first time costs associated with the newly acquired Medipass operation.
With Covid lockdowns abating and government actions in train to encourage a return of workers to the Nation’s CBDs, a positive bias for card present transactions in retail and hospitality is considered a likely feature in H2 FY22. Highlights from H1 FY22
