French payment giant Worldline has reported a revenue of €4.3bn for the year 2022, an increase of 10.7% compared to €3.9bn a year ago.
The figure, which exceeds the firm’s goal to reach 8% to 10% revenue organic growth in 2022, is driven by robust performance in Merchant Services as well as the purchase of the firm’s rival Ingenico.
Revenue at Merchant Services reached €3bn, representing a 14% organic growth from €2.6bn in 2021.
Worldline’s Global Business Unit accounted for 70% of the firm’s total revenue in 2022.
Revenue from Mobility & e-Transactional Services was €365m as against €340m in the prior year, while revenue at Financial Services increased slightly to €958m from €935m in 2021.
For the year 2022, the group’s operating margin before depreciation and amortisation (OMDA) stood at €1.1bn, a surge of 15.7% at constant scope and exchange rates throughout the year.
