Record Revenue and Profit Growth:
- Paysign reported record revenue of $18.6 million for Q1 2025, up 41% year-over-year.

Patient Affordability Segment Expansion:
- Revenue in the patient affordability segment rose to $8.6 million, up 261% year-over-year, representing 46.3% of quarterly revenues.
- This was attributed to the addition of 14 new programs and the demand for dynamic business rules technology.

Plasma Donor Compensation Decline:
- Revenue in the plasma donor compensation segment was $9.4 million, down 9.2% from the previous year.
- The decline was due to headwinds from excess industry inventory and improved collection efficiencies at center levels.

- The benefits are due to reduced reliance on third-party professional services and integration of new technologies.
