EngageSmart, Inc. (NYSE: ESMT), a leading provider of vertically tailored customer engagement software and integrated payments solutions, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

“The third quarter of 2022 marked our first full year as a public company. Customer demand and appreciation for our solutions resulted in our ability to consistently beat and raise revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance each quarter since our IPO,” said Bob Bennett, EngageSmart CEO. “Our third quarter results are a testament to our customers’ success using our solutions, our business model, and the huge need for our offerings in the ongoing quest to digitize business and consumer engagement in legacy industries. Our results speak for themselves. EngageSmart delivered record revenue of $78.8 million, representing 42% year-over-year growth, all organic, and Adjusted EBITDA of $13.2 million, which is 16.8% of revenue for the quarter.”

“We remain focused on delivering strong revenue growth with balanced profitability, and are pleased with the continued momentum, stability, and durability we experienced in both segments of our business,” stated Cassandra Hudson, EngageSmart CFO. “SMB delivered outstanding revenue growth of 52% year over year driven by high demand for our solution in mental health and continued traction in new verticals, such as speech-language pathology and occupational therapy. Enterprise achieved robust revenue growth of 31% as we implemented our solutions with new billers in utilities, insurance, and tax, and continued to drive higher digital adoption rates with existing customers. Our large market and runway in SMB and Enterprise remain compelling, and we look forward to executing on the growth opportunities that lie ahead.”
