Performance was driven by the full-quarter contribution of Tecnobank and organic growth across most of the portfolio, particularly in the Latin America segment. The acquisition of DIMENSA positions the company as a leading financial SaaS provider, adding significant client relationships in the insurance and risk management verticals. Management attributes margin stability to disciplined cost management, which successfully offset headwinds from the 10% Popular discount and unfavorable foreign exchange dynamics. The Latin America segment is benefiting from a reacceleration in Brazil, supported by the integration of founder-led platforms like Tecnobank and Sinqia. Puerto Rico operations remain resilient, with growth in Payment Services driven by transaction volume and the continued strength of the ATH Mรณvil Business platform. Strategic positioning is shifting toward a 'one-stop-shop' model in Latin America, leveraging cross-sell opportunities between newly acquired SaaS assets and core payment products. Full-year 2026 revenue guidance was increased to $1.073 billion to $1.085 billion, reflecting the DIMENSA acquisition and sustained momentum in core payments. The DIMENSA acquisition is expected to be neutral to slightly accretive in 2026, with meaningful cost and scale synergies projected to begin in 2027. Guidance assumes an adjusted EBITDA margin of 39% to 40%, incorporating higher contributions from Latin America and ongoing operating discipline. Management expects the Latin America segment to grow in the high 30s on a reported basis, while Business Solutions will decline in the low-to-mid single digits due to the Popular discount reset. Strategic focus for the remainder of 2026 is centered on integration execution for DIMENSA and Tecnobank while maintaining a healthy organic sales pipeline. The 10% discount to Popular remains a primary headwind for the Business Solutions and Payment Services Puerto Rico segments. Foreign exchange volatility, specifically in countries where contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars while expenses are in the local currency, such as Uruguay and Costa Rica, impacted results. The Business Solutions segment revenue decline was partially due to the absence of a one-time hardware and software sale that occurred in the prior year. The adjusted effective tax rate is expected to rise to a range of 11% to 12% as the business mix shifts toward higher-tax Latin American jurisdictions.

Management noted that the $40 million revenue guidance raise was driven by the DIMENSA acquisition and other factors, and while they declined to provide a specific breakout, they highlighted that DIMENSA's revenue is approximately 95% recurring. No synergies are baked into the 2026 guidance; expense and revenue synergies are expected to materialize in 2027 and 2028. Evertec plans to bolt on existing products like LOT45 to DIMENSA's platform to broaden the value proposition for large bank clients. The company is successfully regionalizing platforms like Place to Pay and Risk Center across major clients including Santander and Banco de Chile. Management views AI as a catalyst for margin expansion and growth rather than a threat to their core processing and reconciliation business. Current use cases include resolving system incidents five to eight times faster and improving fraud detection by 20% through natural language rule creation. Near-term priority is the integration of DIMENSA and Tecnobank, though a healthy M&A pipeline remains. The company remains opportunistic regarding share repurchases, noting that current stock valuations appear attractive compared to historical levels. One stock.
