Payward's Q3 adjusted EBITDA reached $60 million, up from $23 million in Q2 but down 67% year on year, per a Bloomberg report citing a shareholder letter. Average assets on platform fell 21% to $43 billion, while constant-price client assets rose 29% to $71 billion. Total Platform Margin, now the headline metric, was $487 million, up 12% quarter on quarter and down 12% year on year. Payward's share of industry spot volume rose to 6.5% in September from 3.3% a year earlier. The Q3 release does not mention the IPO; the Q4 figures are the next thing to watch.
