Executive Summary

Q2 revenue declined 23% year over year and 24% sequentially to $2,000,035 as COVID-19 drove materially lower processing volumes; diluted EPS was ($0.09) vs ($0.10) in Q1 and ($0.09) a year ago . No Wall Street consensus was available to benchmark the quarter (S&P Global consensus unavailable).
Operating loss was ($195,870) with operating margin of approximately -9.8% (vs -8.6% in Q1), pressured by lower transactions; interest expense remained elevated given debt load .
Liquidity improved post-quarter: OLB raised $6.45M gross, uplisted to Nasdaq, repaid ~$1.1M of its term loan, and effected insider debt conversions, leaving ~$8.4M of debt outstanding after these actions—key stock catalysts around balance sheet de-risking and visibility as a newly listed Nasdaq issuer .
Volume trends showed sequential recovery into June (May +5% m/m; June +7% m/m), but remained well below prior-year levels due to COVID-19 .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well
- Strengthened capital structure and visibility: “Payment Facilitator Raises $6.45 Million and Lists on NASDAQ Capital Markets,” with ~$1.1M applied to senior debt and conversion of insider debt, reducing total debt to ~$8.4M post-quarter .
- Product/tech progress and M&A: Completed OmniSoft/ShopFast integration with SecurePay and acquired DoubleBeam, adding >300 merchants and mobile/contactless capabilities aligned with COVID-era commerce .
- Early signs of volume stabilization: transactions rose 5% in May and 7% in June versus April as re-openings began (“number of transactions increased”) .
What Went Wrong
- COVID-19 headwinds drove 23% YoY and 24% sequential revenue declines and a deeper operating loss margin (~-9.8%) as processing volumes fell sharply (Q2 volume $171.6M vs $226.1M prior year and $220.0M in Q1) .
- Interest burden persisted (Q2 total interest expense ~$314.7K) given leverage, constraining earnings despite cost controls .
- Internal controls remained ineffective, with noted material weaknesses and covenant non-compliance requiring lender waivers, adding governance/financing risk .

Management Commentary

“As a result of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, OLB did experience disruptions…which has resulted in a decline in transaction volume.”
Volume trajectory: “In May, the number of transactions increased whereby they were 5% higher than in April, and in June, transactions were 7% higher than May.”
Strategic focus: “We…expect to build out our OmniSoft software business and to rely more on our PayFac model for revenue so that we are not dependent on our revenue from our eVance business…”
Capital actions: Post-offering and conversions, “the Company has $8.4 million of outstanding debt.”
On DoubleBeam acquisition: “The Company is extremely excited about the acquisition of DoubleBeam…[bringing] mobile-based and contactless checkout…in the current environment of COVID-19.”

Estimates Context

Wall Street consensus for Q2 2020 revenue and EPS was unavailable via S&P Global for OLB; as such, we cannot assess beats/misses versus estimates. Coverage appears limited for this microcap at the time (consensus unavailable).

Key Takeaways for Investors

Revenue/volume trough appears to be April with sequential recovery into June; however, Q2 volumes remained ~24% below prior year, keeping operating margins negative—watch for sustained rebound in Q3 seasonality and reopenings .
Balance sheet de-risking is a central near-term catalyst: $6.45M raise, uplisting to Nasdaq, ~$1.1M debt paydown, and insider debt conversions reduce refinancing risk and improve liquidity runway; monitor covenant compliance and cash burn in 2H .
Strategic mix shift toward PayFac/software (OmniSoft/ShopFast) and addition of DoubleBeam’s contactless/order-ahead stack can expand higher-margin recurring revenue over time; execution on onboarding/monetization is key .
Interest expense (~$315K in Q2) and amortization continue to weigh on GAAP profitability; further deleveraging or refinancing could be meaningful to EPS leverage as volumes normalize .
Governance/controls remain an overhang (ineffective disclosure controls; covenant waivers); evidence of remediation and consistent compliance would reduce risk premia .
Trading setup: Near-term moves likely tied to updates on transaction volumes, new merchant adds (including DoubleBeam), and further balance sheet actions; absence of consensus estimates can increase volatility around prints.
