Worldline reported full-year 2025 revenue of €4.0 billion on 25 February 2026, recording an organic decline of 2.7% compared with 2024, with Merchant Services revenue down 1.4% organically to €3,238 million and Financial Services down 7.7% to €792 million. The results were accompanied by the announcement of further portfolio simplification measures following the completion of a strategic review that had been under way throughout the year, and by management guidance pointing to a return to low-single-digit organic revenue growth in 2026.
STRATEGIC REVIEW
Worldline completed its strategic review during 2025 and used the full-year results to set out further measures to simplify its business portfolio.
The company has operated across a wide range of payment services, from point-of-sale terminal hardware and merchant acquiring to online payment processing and financial transaction services for banks and financial institutions.
2026 GUIDANCE
Worldline's management guided at the results presentation for a return to low-single-digit organic revenue growth in 2026, on a fully pruned basis (i.e. excluding businesses being sold), alongside adjusted EBITDA guidance of €630-650 million. Financial Services, where revenue fell 7.7% organically, was the weaker division in 2025, while Merchant Services declined 1.4%.
