Marqeta (NASDAQ:MQ) Q3: Strong Sales, Gross Margin Improves

Leading edge card issuer Marqeta (NASDAQ: MQ)
announced better-than-expected results in Q3 FY2023, with revenue down 43.2% year on year to $108.9 million. Turning to EPS, Marqeta made a GAAP loss of $0.10 per share, down from its loss of $0.10 per share in the same quarter last year.

Is now the time to buy Marqeta? Find out by reading the original article on StockStory.

Marqeta (MQ) Q3 FY2023 Highlights:

  • Revenue: $108.9 million vs analyst estimates of $95.4 million (14.1% beat)
  • EPS: -$0.10 vs analyst expectations of -$0.09 (10.1% miss)
  • Free Cash Flow of $38 million is up from -$26.1 million in the previous quarter
  • Gross Margin (GAAP): 66.6%, up from 41.8% in the same quarter last year

“Our Q3 results represent the new baseline for Marqeta, post Block’s Cash App renewal. We’ve shown continued sales bookings momentum against a backdrop of operational discipline, continued scale, and new innovations through the launch of our credit platform,” said Simon Khalaf, CEO of Marqeta. “We are in a good position to return to strong growth by Q3 2024 as we lap the Cash App contract and expect to accelerate that growth in future years as the market for embedded finance continues to materialize.”

Founded by CEO Jason Gardner in 2009, Marqeta (NASDAQ: MQ) is an innovative card issuer that provides companies with the ability to issue and process virtual, physical, and tokenized credit and debit cards.

Payments SoftwareConsumers want the ability to make payments whenever and wherever they prefer – and to do so without having to worry about fraud or other security threats. However, building payments infrastructure from scratch is extremely resource-intensive for engineering teams. That drives demand for payments platforms that are easy to integrate into consumer applications and websites.

Sales Growth
After many quarters of strong growth, Marqeta’s business has been sliding down recently.

This quarter, Marqeta’s revenue was down 43.2% year on year, which might disappointment some shareholders.

Looking ahead, Wall Street was expecting revenue to decline 40.2% over the next 12 months before the earnings results announcement.

ProfitabilityWhat makes the software as a service business so attractive is that once the software is developed, it typically shouldn’t cost much to provide it as an ongoing service to customers.
Marqeta’s gross profit margin, an important metric measuring how much money there’s left after paying for servers, licenses, technical support, and other necessary running expenses, was 66.6% in Q3.

That means that for every $1 in revenue the company had $0.67 left to spend on developing new products, sales and marketing, and general administrative overhead. While its gross margin has improved significantly since the previous quarter, Marqeta’s gross margin is still poor for a SaaS business. It’s vital that the company continues to improve this key metric.

Key Takeaways from Marqeta’s Q3 Results
Sporting a market capitalization of $2.7 billion, Marqeta is among smaller companies, but its more than $1.3 billion in cash on hand and positive free cash flow over the last 12 months puts it in an attractive position to invest in growth.

We were impressed by Marqeta’s strong gross margin improvement this quarter. We were also excited its revenue outperformed Wall Street’s estimates, depite the drop in absolute numbers and its free cash flow improved. Zooming out, we think this was a decent quarter. The stock is flat after reporting and currently trades at $5.37 per share.
