Management Commentary
GreenBox POS Chief Executive Officer Fredi Nisan commented: "Our third quarter of 2021 was instrumental in building the foundation for 2022 and beyond. We continued to successfully execute on our long-term growth strategy of quickly scaling our processing volume while accumulating key licensing assets through select acquisitions and partnerships. The success is evident from our year-to-date processing volume of $1.4 billion as of September 30th, only 8 short months after the launch of our Gen 3 platform. This is a testimony to both our technology and our talented team securing key ISO relationships and expanding our network. While much work is left to be done to accomplish our goals, our achievements and the trajectory of our growth is undeniable.
"The ability to finance our growth strategy is a key requirement as we look to become the premier blockchain based financial solutions company. In successfully closing on a $100 million convertible note financing, we demonstrated our ability to secure capital which we can deploy on accretive transactions. Now backed by a fortified balance sheet, we can continue to aggressively pursue our acquisition strategy, while investing in our core technology and adding funds to the Coynicustodian revolver to increase it up to $25 million.
"We continued to make great strides towards the spin-off and eventual public offering of Coyni, our stablecoin technology. We selected Miami as Coyni headquarters and appointed highly accomplished financial payments executive, Paul Levine, as the Chief Executive Officer. We opened up Coyni to early adopters and continued to work with Signature Bank and Armanino to ensure proper transaction and attestation functioning as we look to scale.
"Despite all GreenBox has accomplished in the last 18 months, we are in still just in the early innings of scaling our technology. We remain confident in our long-term strategy and are well positioned to capitalize on the opportunity at hand. Looking ahead, we expect to continue to grow our processing volumes and exceed our initial 2021 guidance of $1.85 billion. However, due to the timing and margin profile of customer onboarding and acquisitions closing we now expect 2021 reported revenue of at least $28 million and adjusted net income of at least $8 million. As we look out at 2022, we expect processing volume to be at least $4.9 billion for the year assuming completion of acquisitions. We look forward to bringing GreenBox to the forefront of financial payments technology and delivering long-term sustainable value for our shareholders." concluded Nisan.
