DELUXE CORP 8K

Deluxe Corporation closed its acquisition of Celero Commerce, materially scaling its payments platform and expecting EPS accretion and cost synergies beginning in the first full year post-closing.

Deluxe Corporation announced that it has closed its previously announced acquisition of Celero Commerce, a financial technology company providing optimized payment solutions to small and mid-sized businesses and bank partners, marking a major step in Deluxe’s strategic transformation toward its Payments and Data segments. The deal significantly expands Deluxe Merchant Services and creates a more scaled payments platform expected to process over $70 billion in annual gross transaction volume, moving Deluxe toward a top-10 non-bank merchant acquirer position based on Nilson reporting. Management expects the transaction to be accretive to adjusted EPS in the first full year after closing, supported by more than $15 million in anticipated cost synergies and enhanced revenue and EBITDA margin growth trajectories. The combined company will integrate Celero’s more than 55,000 merchant relationships and 130 bank partners, with leadership emphasizing a careful integration process to avoid service disruption, and Deluxe plans to update its full-year 2026 guidance to reflect the acquisition when it reports second quarter 2026 results on August 5, 2026, and to further outline the integrated strategy at an investor day in December 2026.
