Half-Year Consolidated revenue as at June 30th 2024
Press Release
HiPay: revenue up 10.5% in H1 2024
● Growth in payment volumes impacted by a challenging macroeconomic environment: + 1,3%
● Strong sales growth, outperforming volumes processed at +10.5%, thanks to a favorable mix effect
July 30, 2024, at 8:00 am: HiPay, the fintech specializing in omni-channel payment solutions, announces its revenue for the first half of 2024.
In millions of euros | H1 2024 | H1 2023 | Var. % |
Payment volume | 4,146 | 4,093 | +1.3% |
Revenue1 | 36.1 | 32.6 | +10.5% |
Increase in payment volume and significant growth in revenue
In the first half of 2024, the volume of payments processed reached 4.1 billion euros, representing growth of 1.3% on last year. The slowdown in inflation (from 4.5% to 2.3%) failed to boost household consumption, which stagnated at +0.4%, impacting our ability to grow flows (mostly connected to consumer purchases). Against this backdrop, we nevertheless enjoyed
1.3% growth in flows.
The strong growth in our sales (+10.5%) is essentially due to mix effects and is driven by the iGaming/Digital markets, combined with the operational launches of new payment methods.
Good momentum in our traditional markets (retail France and Europe)
The very good momentum of previous years in retail France and Europe was curbed in 2024 by a drop in payment volumes on the existing customer portfolio, and overall stability (+0.4%) due to the sluggish economic climate in the first half of 2024. Sales growth remained positive (+3.2%), driven by new payment methods and the finalization of customer agreements.
