Corpay's Expansion in Corporate Payments: Insights from Group President Mark Frey on Q1 2024 Results
Corpay, formerly known as Fleetcor, reported a 4% year-on-year (YoY) growth in revenues for Q1 2024, reaching $935.3 million. The primary driver of this growth was the Corporate Payments segment, which saw a significant boost.
The Corporate Payments segment recorded a YoY growth of 17% in revenues, amounting to $265.4 million. This growth was accompanied by a 25% increase in sales and a 24.6% YoY increase in EBITDA, reaching $125.5 million. The segment's EBITDA margin stood at 47%.
Cross-border revenue in the Corporate Payments segment grew by 18% in Q1 2024. Despite some softness in the U.S. due to tariffs, geographic highlights indicate solid gains outside North America. Europe saw an enhanced presence through the strategic acquisition of Alpha Group International, which has operations across Europe, Canada, and Australia. This acquisition is expected to unlock new opportunities in these regions and strengthen Corpay’s overall global position in Corporate Payments.
In Australia, Alpha Group’s operations support growth and expansion. In Canada, Alpha’s presence complements Corpay's existing business, aiding in cross-border growth. The acquisition of Paymerang, an accounts-payable-focused corporate payments company, which is expected to close in Q2, is another key factor that is expected to yield growth for Corpay from 2025.
The rebranding of Corpay to its Corporate Payments division's name further underscores the company's focus on this segment. Detailed insights on cross-border payments globally can be accessed through a free account.
