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.

· Announced phased rollout of Eurowag Office, an industry-first digital platform, at the IAA Transportation 2024 in Hannover.
