Summary
Amex GBT delivered a strong Q2 with revenue up 38% to $870M and adjusted EBITDA rising 34% to $178M, driven by acquisition impacts and organic demand. Free cash flow surged 281% to $103M, signaling robust cash generation. The company reported accelerating new wins, including Google, Koch, and Pfizer, with total new wins value reaching $3.5B. This performance comes just after shareholders overwhelmingly approved the $9.50/share acquisition by Long Lake Management, with the deal expected to close soon. The results reinforce the company's momentum heading into the transaction, though the acquisition price is already set. Key product innovations, including AI integrations, could support long-term growth but are unlikely to alter the near-term deal dynamics.
