Zip Co (ZIP) has announced its Q4 FY23 result, posting group quarterly revenue of $193.8 million – a 21.1 per cent increase compared to Q4 FY22.

Australia and New Zealand revenue reflected an increase of 26.1 per cent Year-on-Year (YoY), while US revenue was up 13.6 per cent YoY.

Total transaction volumes for the quarter clocked in at $2.3 billion, with the company noting its cash transaction margin (CTM) improved to 3.1 per cent even in the current interest rate cycle. Last quarter, CTM sat at 2.8 per cent.

The company is continuing to ditch all operations in markets outside ANZ and the US, completing its divestments in businesses in Central and Eastern Europe, South Africa, and the Middle East.

Zip is heading towards full-year profitability, suggesting that at a macroeconomic level, the phenomenon of the resilient consumer is also a tailwind for payment providers.

“We acknowledge that many consumers are doing it tough with the cost of living a challenge for many households,” Zip Global CEO Larry Diamond said.

“Pleasingly, this result was underpinned by strong revenue growth…as we finish FY23, I am excited to see the US business exit the year cash EBTDA positive on a monthly basis and very well positioned for sustainable growth in FY24.”

Meanwhile, Zip formed a new partnership deal with Peloton and Webjet in the ANZ region during Q4 FY23.
