We have endured to develop the corporate since saying the strategic evaluation, having introduced a number of new key projects, that have already made vital affect on our effects, similar to our instrument income enlargement of 9% 12 months over 12 months, the perfect within the remaining 9 quarters. And elevating our adjusted EBITDA outlook for this fiscal 12 months to over $53 million, greater than 30% upper than the preliminary outlook of no less than $40 million at the beginning of the fiscal 12 months. We proceed to boost up towards sure loose money drift and plan to allocate capital strategically to reach desired returns. As a part of this, I am saying a proportion repurchase program to go back as much as $400 million in money to shareholders.
We intend to instantly execute on all of the ultimate capability of our present proportion repurchase authorization, roughly $100 million at the day before today’s ultimate proportion value, plus an extra $300 million below our additional authorization, in each and every case, matter to marketplace prerequisites. I am additionally excited to announce that our Capital Markets Day will likely be hung on March 26, the place our control group provides you with a complete replace on our transformation technique, operational and fiscal affect, merchandise, go-to-market efforts and supply a long-term monetary outlook.

Moreover, we larger bills penetration throughout our base of traders from 29% to 38% as in comparison to the similar quarter remaining 12 months. We additionally delivered quarterly adjusted EBITDA of $16.6 million, forward of our in the past established outlook of $14 million.
Underpinning our transformation is a core focal point on rising places and extending ARPU, in particular instrument. For retail in North The usa, our outbound go-to-market movement and funding in gross sales rep protection are already yielding wins and wholesome conversions. I’m going to point out a couple of examples in our focal point verticals. We signed Football Grasp and Epoxy Depot, either one of which can be multi-location traders with a necessity for omnichannel features.
Top GTV traders proceed to select Lightspeed over different answers, given our differentiated talent to care for advanced stock control wishes and our talent to fortify omnichannel in a multi-location setting.

Transferring to hospitality in Europe, our different main enlargement engine. We also are construction an outbound gross sales movement via strategically making an investment in box gross sales rep protection throughout the important thing markets and towns in Europe. Those efforts are beginning to achieve traction and I’m going to proportion some highlights. We signed the 3 Michelin Celebrity eating place, AM par Alexandre Mazzia in Marseille, and Chefdag, a series of Belgium-based eating places with seven places.
Within the lodge adjoining eating place house, we signed Lodge de Beaune, a five-star luxurious lodge within the middle of Burgundy. We proceed to peer superb product marketplace have compatibility for Lightspeed with full-service eating places throughout our markets in Europe and our key focal point this is to boost up enlargement with new investments in our go-to-market features. At the merchandise and generation entrance, our instrument ARPU enlargement reached 11% this quarter, pushed partially via buyer adoption of recent instrument modules that assist them organize and develop their companies. As discussed sooner than, we introduced our new Kitchen Show Device, which seamlessly connects front-of-house and back-of-house operations, permitting eating places to run extra easily, even all over height hours.
Buyer adoption has been robust for this new providing. Moreover, we offered Lightspeed Pulse, offering real-time get admission to to a central running metrics from a cell software.

After all, we introduced fast payouts for eligible hospitality consumers in make a selection markets, providing get admission to to money inside half-hour of a transaction even on weekends.
Reflecting in this quarter, we delivered towards a number of key priorities: instrument and income enlargement speeded up, bills penetration is nearing our end-of-year goal, Lightspeed Capital revenues greater than doubled year-to-date and our adjusted EBITDA efficiency is easily forward of our preliminary outlook from the start of the fiscal 12 months. As we glance into subsequent 12 months and past, my purpose is to pressure instrument enlargement via expanding our ICP location rely thru environment friendly go-to-market investments and increasing our instrument providing thru innovation. I am browsing ahead to our Capital Markets Day in March to supply a extra complete replace on the ones. I can now let Asha take us during the quarterly effects and supply our outlook.
Asha Bakshani — Leader Monetary Officer
Thank you, Dax and welcome, everybody. I am very happy with Lightspeed’s ends up in the 3rd quarter. Our robust efficiency, coupled with prudent value control, has ended in sure adjusted EBITDA for the 6th consecutive quarter and coming in forward of our in the past established outlook. As well as, as Dax highlighted, our refocus on instrument income enlargement is beginning to achieve traction, with instrument income rising 9% 12 months over 12 months.
As a part of the transformation we introduced, we’re making centered investments in each go-to-market and product building to gas this enlargement, whilst additionally proceeding to deal with an excessively wholesome stability sheet. Because of our determination towards successful enlargement, we are elevating our adjusted EBITDA outlook for the fiscal 12 months to over $53 million, which is over 30% upper than the preliminary outlook of no less than $40 million at the beginning of the fiscal 12 months. I can now stroll you thru the main points of our quarterly efficiency and key metrics, beginning with our revenues after which shut with our outlook for the remainder fiscal 12 months. General revenues larger 17% because of our rising instrument ARPU and unified bills efforts, regardless of affects from weakening foreign currency echange.
Tool income grew 9% 12 months over 12 months to $88.1 million, supported via contemporary product releases, in addition to larger pricing on instrument merchandise. GTV from our flagships for the quarter grew 23% 12 months over 12 months, indicating robust good fortune in attracting our goal consumers. On the other hand, same-store gross sales in retail stay challenged throughout many verticals, even though the speed of decline is easing. General GTV within the quarter, together with non-flagship choices, larger roughly 2% to $23.5 billion.
Refined buyer places with GTV exceeding $500,000 and $1 million endured to extend as a percentage of our buyer combine, whilst the ones with GTV below $200,000 endured to say no. With our focal point on retail in North The usa and hospitality in Europe and the expanded outbound gross sales group in those areas, we predict to peer an inflection level for enlargement in our ICP consumers in fiscal 2026. Within the quarter, GPV as a proportion of GTV was once 38%, up somewhat from the former quarter. The GPV combine within the quarter shifted clear of verticals with upper fee penetration price similar to golfing, which was once in large part a results of seasonality.
We think to finish the 12 months with GPV representing between 40% to 45% of GTV. Transaction-based income grew 23% to $181.7 million. Within the quarter, we noticed GPV build up 34% 12 months over 12 months to $8.8 billion as we processed a better portion of our GTV thru our Lightspeed Bills platform. Lightspeed Capital income grew to $10.2 million, nearly doubling from $5.2 million in Q3 of remaining 12 months as this system is still well-liked by our consumers.
Lightspeed Capital gives rapid get admission to to capital and automated compensation thru Lightspeed Bills. Traders are leveraging this providing to finance stock, improve apparatus and extend their total trade. Throughout bills and instrument, our general ARPU for the quarter, aside from Ecwid consumers, reached a listing $533, an excellent 19% build up 12 months over 12 months. This development is the results of each unified bills, in addition to an 11% build up in instrument ARPU.
Tool ARPU is making improvements to, due to our focal point on flagship merchandise and transferring our buyer base towards upper GTV places, which in most cases undertake extra instrument modules. Turning to gross benefit. We delivered 14% year-over-year enlargement. General gross margin was once 41%, flat with the former quarter and down handiest somewhat 12 months over 12 months.
Regardless of transaction-based revenues expanding from 62% of the gross sales combine in Q3 remaining 12 months to 65% this 12 months, we have been in a position to deal with our gross margin at similar ranges thru efficient spend control and the expansion in upper margin income from pieces similar to capital. At the instrument facet, I am additionally extremely proud of our robust gross margins, which larger to 79% from 76% in the similar quarter remaining 12 months, reflecting our concentrated effort to regulate prices. Except for share-based repayment expense, gross margin on instrument income was once 80%. Gross margins for transaction-based income have been 28%, up somewhat from the former quarter and come with gross margins from our capital program, which continues to ship wholesome margins of over 90%.
As we convert consumers to Lightspeed Bills, we larger our total internet gross benefit greenbacks. Adjusted EBITDA within the quarter got here in sure at $16.6 million and over 350% development from adjusted EBITDA of $3.6 million in the similar quarter remaining 12 months, pushed in part via early successes from our transformation plan. General adjusted analysis and building, gross sales and advertising and basic and administrative bills within the quarter larger via 1% in comparison to the similar quarter remaining 12 months. As a part of our endured push to pressure successful enlargement, we’re riding value discounts in lots of spaces and reallocating financial savings to our enlargement engine.
We proceed to actively organize our share-based repayment and comparable payroll taxes, which at $13.6 million or 5% of income for the quarter, have been down from $23.6 million or 10% in the similar quarter remaining 12 months. The lower was once in part a results of forfeitures because of the restructuring. For the quarter, we had an adjusted source of revenue of $18.5 million in comparison to $11.8 million remaining 12 months, in large part because of the advance within the pieces riding our adjusted EBITDA efficiency. In the case of our stability sheet, Lightspeed closed the quarter with roughly $662 million in money and money equivalents, up from roughly $659 million within the earlier quarter.
The rise was once pushed essentially via advanced adjusted EBITDA efficiency, in addition to an build up in service provider money advances gathered because of seasonality. Adjusted loose money drift used within the quarter was once roughly $0.5 million. As Dax introduced in his opening remarks, we’re saying a proportion repurchase program to go back as much as $400 million in money to shareholders. We intend to instantly execute on all of the ultimate capability of our present proportion repurchase authorization, roughly $100 million at the day before today’s ultimate proportion value plus an extra $300 million below an additional authorization, in each and every case, matter to marketplace prerequisites.
As well as, we’re forecasting significant development in our adjusted EBITDA efficiency in our subsequent fiscal 12 months, pushed via the execution of our transformation plan. Now, turning to our outlook for this fiscal 12 months. Lightspeed is inspired via its efficiency thus far with robust income enlargement and altered EBITDA this is not off course to surpass the outlook equipped remaining quarter. We are in particular proud of the good fortune of our packaging and pricing projects and the rate of in style instrument module launches contributing to our instrument enlargement.
Within the close to time period, we’re contending with two income headwinds. First, the strengthening U.S. greenback is hanging downward power on non-U.S. dollar-denominated income.
2d, Lightspeed’s December restructuring impacted go-to-market place, with financial savings being reinvested in hiring for North American retail and Ecu hospitality. It’s going to take time to ramp up new hires and we predict advantages to materialize in fiscal 2026. After all, observe, the corporate’s fiscal fourth quarter is seasonally the weakest for GTV efficiency. In line with our achievements thus far and with the transformation plan in position, Lightspeed’s outlook for the fiscal 12 months is as follows.
We think income enlargement for fiscal 2025 to be roughly 20%. We’re elevating our adjusted EBITDA expectancies for the fiscal 12 months to over $53 million. This quarter’s effects are evidence that our strategic pivot to concentrate on enlargement in our main markets and on potency far and wide else is operating. I stay up for this momentum proceeding into fiscal 2026.
With that, I can hand the decision again to the operator.
Questions & Solutions:
Operator
[Operator instructions] So your first query comes from the road of Dan Perlin with RBC Capital Markets. Please pass forward.
Daniel Perlin — Analyst
Thank you. Just right morning. I used to be simply going to start out off possibly with a broader-based query of — Dax, if you’ll be able to possibly simply speak about why the sale procedure was once possibly no longer the fitting selection right now? I without a doubt perceive the description that you simply gave for more or less the pass ahead. However I am simply questioning why the sale procedure possibly simply did not have compatibility or failed? After which, on the subject of the tactic that you simply laid out, are there issues that — it sounds similar to the transformation that you simply had already laid out.
I am simply questioning, in the ones nongrowth markets, are you going so that you could possibly boost up the closures of the ones noncore places or markets? As it feels like a continuation of what you’ve got achieved and also you simply did not get the sale finished. So the rest round that will be in reality, in reality useful.
Dax Dasilva — Founder and Leader Government Officer
Sure. Thank you for the query. So sure, it is all in regards to the transformation plan, proper? We began the strategic evaluation via comparing our portfolio and in reality browsing at marketplace good looks, aggressive dynamics and our proper to win. And we did preview, I feel, our focal point on North American retail and Ecu hospitality on our remaining income name.
And so, we now have constructed out extra of the making plans and we are going into fiscal ’26 with a rock-solid plan for execution. As a part of the strategic evaluation, we ran a procedure to decide what’s the supreme company construction for execution of the transformation plan. And the strategic evaluation completed precisely what it was once designed to do, which was once to reply to that query. What is one of the best ways for us to maximise shareholder worth.
And we did not have a presupposed end result that we have been main towards a sale. We would have liked to grasp what have been the choices to be had, what have been the other choices. However the function, how are we able to supreme execute the transformation plan and pressure essentially the most worth. And after assessing a couple of choices, we concluded with our board that proceeding as a public corporate gives the most productive trail to maximizing worth.
We did obtain robust engagement during the five-month procedure and we had intensive discussions with a number of contributors. However our focal point now that we now have resolved to this query of company construction is in reality executing at the transformation plan and doubling down at the lead enlargement engines. Regarding the potency marketplace or all the companies the place we’re fascinated with them being a enlargement engine, what we are going to be doing is we are going to be keeping up the ones consumers. The ones are nice consumers for Lightspeed.
They have got contributed to the rising EBITDA image that you are seeing quarter after quarter as we raised steering on EBITDA. And it is a very powerful a part of our trade however we aren’t making an investment in the similar varieties of issues as we’re for our two enlargement engines. We aren’t doing the outbound. We aren’t doing the promoting spend.
We have in fact reallocated headcount and advertising spend to — from that, from the ones markets to the expansion markets in order that we will be able to double down and we will be able to see speeded up growth on location rely and instrument income, which we in fact confirmed a little bit — we confirmed some growth on instrument income this quarter as a result of that focal point.
Daniel Perlin — Analyst
Sure. That was once nice to peer. After which, only a fast, I assume, 2nd query to Asha. Any solution to simply assist us with more or less the crossover length anticipated in ’26, the place — clearly, the restructuring pulls within the go-to-market movement a little bit bit after which it’s a must to put new other folks out.
So I am simply attempting to determine like how lengthy it takes to get salespeople totally productive to a degree that is going to turn out impactful to numbers and possibly the place that crossover length would possibly glance in ’26.
Asha Bakshani — Leader Monetary Officer
Thank you for the query, Dan. So we are going to give detailed steering on fiscal ’26 on our subsequent income name. You can get a pleasing preview at our Capital Markets Day subsequent month. Generally, our gross sales — outbound gross sales other folks take about six months to ramp up sooner than we begin seeing their affect within the financials.
And , as , we had a reorganization early December and we’re reallocating assets to our enlargement markets of North The usa retail and EMEA hospitality. So what I can say is that we do be expecting EBITDA — significant EBITDA growth given the portfolio combine. And at the gross sales facet, we do be expecting to peer build up in ICP location rely and instrument proceeding the momentum that you’ve got observed began in Q3, we predict to peer that proceeding reasonably well in fiscal ’26.

Your subsequent query comes from the road of Andrew Bauch with Wells Fargo Securities. Please pass forward.
Andrew Bauch — Analyst
Howdy, excellent morning and thank you for taking the query. Simply sought after to hone in on bills penetration genuine fast. The tempo that you simply had over the past couple of years the place you might be pushing bills lovely aggressively, you take up fee penetration more or less 3% sequentially each and every quarter and now it is more or less stalled. I listen you that you are nonetheless pointing to that 40% to 45%.
Will have to we predict the low finish of that vary? As a result of it will appear that the top finish of that vary can be a sexy sizable step up. And what are the variables round this?
Asha Bakshani — Leader Monetary Officer
Thank you for the query, Andrew. We’re proud of the tempo of fee penetration. While you take a look at our growth, we larger GPV 34% 12 months over 12 months, and we had a 900 foundation level build up 12 months over 12 months from Q3 to Q3. You might be proper at the quarter-to-quarter, it was once nearer to at least one% however that is in reality simply the results of seasonality.
What we are seeing is, now that increasingly of our general GTV is penetrated, we are coming near 40%, you will see the affect of the seasonality at the underlying portfolios each and every quarter. And that’s the reason in reality all of the Q3 penetration quantity is set, specifically, golfing. Golfing is an excessively extremely penetrated vertical for Lightspeed and Q3 is a seasonally sluggish quarter for golfing. And so, you simply — you might be seeing the affect of that.
We are nonetheless assured within the 40% to 45% exiting the 12 months, might be nearer to 40%, possibly even the midrange of that information. However in line with what we are seeing up to now, we are reasonably assured we will go out the 12 months in that vary.
Andrew Bauch — Analyst
That is excellent to listen to. And possibly we will be able to get a refresh in your perspectives of the aggressive setting and the way your present technique more or less layers up towards that. We have had numerous the other competition on the market, both transferring from on-line to indicate of sale and vice versa or coming into other verticals. So on your conversations with new places and traders, the place do you assume that Lightspeed continues to tell apart essentially the most? After which, a handy guide a rough similar to house responsibilities observe.
May just you measurement up the FX headwinds you might be calling out?
JD Saint-Martin — President
Sure. So I’m going to take the primary a part of the query. That is JD. From a aggressive panorama point of view, it in reality highlights the tactic that Dax identified previous.
Our resolution, our flagships, are in reality, in reality robust in NOAM retail and EMEA hospitality. In NOAM retail in particular, we’re the marketplace chief for industries that experience top SKU density, deep stock control wishes and that is the reason in reality the place our resolution shines. And now in particular including the provider community to the combo, it is in reality hanging ourselves able the place we will be able to in reality win within the fort verticals the place we are fascinated with. After which, in a similar way, in hospitality, as , we now have been in Europe for over one decade now with our resolution.
We’ve got super product marketplace have compatibility and likewise very robust go-to-market have compatibility. And there too, we are a marketplace chief in Continental Europe and so we wish to boost up that enlargement in the ones two spaces.
Asha Bakshani — Leader Monetary Officer
From an FX point of view, we did — you probably did see within the effects that that was once a headwind for us, each within the quarter we simply reported and within the upcoming quarter. Lightspeed has vital world operations. And so, a strengthening U.S. greenback does put downward power on our total peak line.
In the long run, despite the fact that, we do nonetheless consider that we will hit the steering vary that we equipped firstly of the 12 months and so it was once a headwind. However regardless of that headwind, we are proud of our effects.
Andrew Bauch — Analyst

And transferring as much as 9% enlargement 12 months over 12 months in Q3 is a sturdy signal and we predict that pattern will proceed at some point. So far as the why at the back of those robust effects, in the long run, we are on this place, due to the innovation that we are bringing to the marketplace and to our consumers. We have had numerous modules which have been delivered via our product group within the remaining quarters in hospitality, KDS, our tableside gadgets are rather well gained via our consumers.
