*The prior period adjustment relates to the nonredeemable non-controlling interests, which are the portion of equity in a consolidated subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company as of December 31, 2018, that were retrospectively adjusted to reflect the exchange of certain Class C and D shares to Class A shares. This immaterial adjustment decreased the previously reported amounts of additional paid-in capital and nonredeemable non-controlling interests, as reported in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of changes in equity as of December 31, 2018, by $20.6 million.

The presentation of the statements of changes in equity (deficit) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was revised to present the consecutive quarterly statements of changes in equity (deficit) for the three months ended March 31, 2019, the three months ended June 30, 2019, and the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the cumulative statement of changes in equity (deficit) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, to conform with the presentation in the current period.

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities, as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates used for accounting purposes include, but are not limited to, valuation of redeemable non-controlling interests (“RNCI”), evaluation of realizability of deferred tax assets, determination of liabilities under the tax receivable agreement, determination of liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets arising from lease agreements, determination of assets or liabilities arising from derivative transactions, determination of fair value of share-based compensation, establishment of severance liabilities, establishment of allowance for doubtful accounts, and assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. As the sole managing member of EVO, LLC, the Company exerts control over the Group. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, EVO, Inc. consolidates the Group’s financial statements and records the interests in EVO, LLC that it does not own as non-controlling interests. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for investments over which it has significant influence, but not a controlling financial interest using the equity method of accounting.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Settlement-RelatedRestricted Cash, Settlement Related Cash and Merchant Reserves

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less. Cash balances often exceed federally insured limits; however, concentration of credit risk is limited due to the payment of funds on the same day or the day following receipt in satisfaction of the settlement process. Included in cash and cash equivalents are settlement-related cash and merchant reserves.

Settlement-related cash represents funds that the Company holds when the incoming amount from the card networks precedes the funding obligation to the merchant. Settlement-related cash balances are not restricted, however, these funds are generally paid out in satisfaction of settlement processing obligations and therefore are not available for general purposes. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, settlement-related cash balances were $132.9$121.0 million and $178.8$163.5 million, respectively.

Merchant reserves represent funds collected from the Company’s merchants that serve as collateral to minimize contingent liabilities associated with any losses that may occur under the respective merchant agreements. While this cash is not restricted in its use, the Company believes that maintaining the merchant reserves to collateralize merchant losses strengthens its fiduciary standings with its card network sponsors (“Member Banks”) and is in accordance with the guidelines set by the card networks. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, merchant reserves were $105.0$103.7 million and $85.8$109.9 million, respectively.

Restricted cash represents funds held as a liquidity reserve at our Chilean subsidiary, as required by local regulations.

Derivatives

The Company recognizes derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of thea particular derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate aor not designate such derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting.

Table of Contents

Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.  Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.

Investment in equity securities

The Company’s accounting treatment for investments in equity securities differs for those with and without readily determinable fair values. Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value at each reporting period recognized on the consolidated statements of operations. Investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair value are recorded at cost, less impairment, if any, plus or minus observable price changes in orderly transactions of an identical or similar investment of the same issuer.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) or other standards setting bodies are adopted as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, with amendments in 2019 and 2020. This update requires companies to immediately recognize the estimate for credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of the financial assets that are in the scope of the standard. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This update provides clarification and modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurement in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the fair value measurement disclosures included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Internal Use Software

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The update aligns the requirements for capitalizing certain implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020. This ASU could have a material effect on future financial results depending on whether or not the Company implements new software with significant implementation costs, as they would be deferred and expensed over the term of the agreement. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s current consolidated financial statements.

The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. The Company continues to evaluate the effect of ASU 2020-04 on its consolidated financial statements and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

Investments, Joint Ventures, and Derivatives and Hedging

Direct – Represents the direct solicitation of merchants through referral relationships, including financial institutions and the Company’s direct sales channel. The Company has long-term, exclusive referral relationships with leading financial institutions that represent thousands of branch locations which actively pursue new merchant relationships on the Company’s behalf. The Company also has referral arrangements with independent sales organizations (“ISO”) that refer merchants to the Company. The Company utilizes a direct sales team, including outbound telesales, to build and maintain relationships with its merchants and referral partners.
Tech-enabled – Represents merchants requiring a technical integration at the point of sale between the Company and a third party software vendor whereby the third party passes information to our systems to enable payment processing. These merchant acquiring arrangements are supported by partnerships with independent software providers, integrated software dealers, and eCommerce gateway providers. In the United States, this division also supports business-to-business customers via proprietary solutions sold directly to merchants and via enterprise resource planning software dealers and integrators.

The Company is not focused on this sales model and it will represent an increasingly smaller portion of the business over time.

The table below presents a disaggregation of the Company’s revenue by segment and by division. Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, the Company reclassified certain merchant portfolios from the Direct and Tech-enabled divisions into the Traditional division as part of strategic channel realignment. The Company adjusted the presentation of comparative results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 to reflect this reclassification.

(3)       Settlement Processing Assets and Obligations

Settlement processing assets and obligations represent intermediary balances within the settlement process involving the movement of funds between consumers, card issuers, card networks, the Company, and its merchants. The Company processes funds settlement through two models, the sponsorship model and the direct membership model.

In certain markets, the Company operates under the sponsorship of Member Banksa bank that is a member of the various card networks (collectively, the “Member Banks”) to process transactions through card networks, such as Visa and MasterCard. As such, the Company has an agreement with these banksMember Banks which dictates the sponsorship services to be provided to the Company. It is the responsibility of the Member Bank to ensure that the Company is in adherence with card network standards. The sponsoring Member Bank serves as the acquiring bank (“Acquiring Bank”) under this model.

16

Table of Contents

In other markets, the Company has direct membership with the various card networks and performs the process of funds settlement. As a direct member, it is the Company’s responsibility to adhere to the standards of the card networks. The Company serves as the Acquiring Bank under the direct membership model.  

The card networks operate as an intermediary between the card issuing banks, on the one hand, and, as applicable, either the AcquiringMember Banks or the Company (under the direct sponsorship model), on the other hand, whereby funds are received by the card issuing banks and remitted to the AcquiringMember Bank or the Company, as applicable, via the card networks on a daily basis. The Company then remits these funds to its merchants, either through a Member Bank under the sponsorship model, or directly to merchants under the direct membership model. Incoming funds due from the card networks on behalf of the card issuing bank are classified as receivables from card networks in the table below, whereas the funds due from the Company to its merchants are classified as settlement liabilities due to merchants.

14

Table of Contents

The Company enters into agreements with its merchants which outline the fees charged by the Company for processing payment transactions and performing funds settlement. Under the sponsorship model, these agreements are between the Company, the Member Bank, and the merchant, whereas under the direct membership model, these agreements are exclusively between the Company and the merchant. Fees are either settled daily or monthly on a net basis or monthly through an invoice arrangement. Receivables from merchants as presented below represent amounts either net settled or invoiced to the Company’s merchants related to the various fees associated with the payment processing and funds settlement services provided by the Company.

As described in Note 1, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” the Company collects funds from merchants that serve as collateral to mitigate potential future losses, and recognizes a corresponding liability which is presented as merchant reserves within the settlement processing obligations. Refer to the table below.

While receivables from card networks and settlement liabilities due to merchants represent intermediary balances in the transaction settlement process, timing differences, interchange expense, merchant reserves and exception items cause differences between the amount the Company receives through the Member Banks receive from the card networks and the amount funded to merchants.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is calculated pursuant to the two-class method as a result of the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) on April 21, 2020. The Preferred Stock is considered a participating security because the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled, on an as-converted basis, to participate in and receive any dividends declared or paid on the Class A common stock, and no dividends may be paid to holders of Class A common stock unless full participating dividends are concurrently paid to holders of Preferred Stock. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities according to dividend and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

1715

Table of Contents

Under this method, all earnings, distributed and undistributed, are allocated to common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. The Preferred Stock is not included in the computation of basic earnings per share in periods in which the Company reports a net loss, as the Preferred Stock holders are not contractually obligated to share in the net losses. However, the cumulative dividends that accrete on the Preferred Stock for the period reduce the net income or increase the net loss allocated to common stockholders. The Company applies a discrete-period basis to allocate the earnings in the interim period, under which each interim period is treated in the same manner as an annual period is treated in a year-to-date calculation of earnings per share.  Earnings per share is not separately presented for Class B common stock, Class C common stock, and Class D common stock since they have no economic rights to the earnings of the Company.

Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is calculated using the more dilutive of the (a) treasury stock method and as-converted method or (b) the two-class method. Class B common stock is not considered when calculating diluted earnings per share as this class of common stock may not convert to Class A common stock. Class C common stock and Class D common stock are considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share on an if-converted basis as these classes, together with the related LLC Interests, have exchange rights that could result in additional shares of Class A common stock being issued. Potentially dilutive shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock are considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share on an if-converted basis. All other potentially dilutive securities are determined based on the treasury stock method.

Refer to Note 16, “Redeemable Preferred Stock,” and Note 21, “Shareholders’ Equity,” for further information on rights to each class of common stock and preferred stock.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) that requires the Company to make payments to the Continuing LLC Owners that are generally equal to 85% of the applicable cash tax savings, if any, realized as a result of favorable tax attributes that will be available to the Company as a result of the Reorganization Transactions, exchanges of LLC Interests and paired Class C common stock or paired Class D common stock for Class A common stock, purchases or redemptions of LLC Interests, and payments made under the TRA. Payments will occur only after the filing of U.S. federal and state income tax returns and realization of cash tax savings from the favorable tax attributes. Due to net losses attributable to the Company in prior years, there were no realized tax savings attributable to the TRA, therefore 0 payments have been made related to the TRA obligation.

Table of Contents

As a result of the purchases of LLC Interests and the exchanges of LLC Interests and paired shares of Class C common stock and paired Class D common stock for shares of Class A common stock sold in connection with and following the IPO, through SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company’s deferred tax asset and payment liability pursuant to the TRA were approximately $178.6$206.8 million ($(164.8$185.1 million net of amortization) and $151.8$175.8 million, respectively at SeptemberJune 30, 2021, and approximately $204.6 million ($188.4 million net of amortization) and $173.9 million, respectively at December 31, 2020. The Company recorded a corresponding increase to paid-in capital for the difference between the TRA liability and the related deferred tax asset. The amounts recorded as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, approximate the current estimate of expected tax savings and are subject to change after the filing of the Company’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns. Future payments under the TRA with respect to subsequent exchanges would be in addition to these amounts.

For the TRA, the cash savings realized by the Company are computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of the Company to the amount of such taxes the Company would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets from member exchanges or sales of LLC Interests, and no tax benefit as a result of the Net Operating Losses (“NOLs”) generated by the increase in the Company’s tax basis of the assets in EVO, LLC. Subsequent adjustments of the TRA obligations due to certain events (e.g., changes to the expected realization of NOLs or changes in tax rates) will be recognized within other (expense) incomeexpense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Table of Contents

The Company’s leases consist primarily of real estate and personal property leases throughout the markets in which the Company operates. At contract inception, the Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease, and for each identified lease, evaluates the classification as operating or financing. The Company has nohad 0 finance leases as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020. Leased assets and obligations are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of fixed lease payments to be made over the term of the lease. Renewal and termination options are factored into determination of the lease term only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The weighted-average remaining lease term was 6.946.41 years and 7.796.79 years at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. The Company hashad no significant short-term leases as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.

The Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate and therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to measure the lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset. The incremental borrowing rates were determined based on a portfolio approach considering the Company’s current secured borrowing rate adjusted for market conditions and the length of the lease term. The weighted-average discount rates used in the measurement of the lease liabilities were 6.46%6.30% and 6.67%6.45% as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.

Operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease costs were $2.8 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019 were $2.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively, in each period, and2020. These costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statementstatements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Operating lease costs for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 were $8.5$5.5 million and $8.75.8 million, respectively. Total lease costs include variable lease costs of approximately $0.5 million and $0.70.6 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively, which are primarily comprised of costs of maintenance and utilities, and are determined based on the actual costs incurred during the period. Total lease costs include variable lease costs of $1.6$1.0 million and $1.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020, and 2019.respectively. Variable payments are expensed in the period incurred and not included in the measurement of lease assets and liabilities.

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 was $8.1$4.7 million and $7.5$5.6 million, respectively, which is included as a component of cash provided by operating activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statementstatements of cash flows.

Income Taxes

In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, each interim period is considered integral to the annual period, and tax expense is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate. An entity is required to record income tax expense each quarter based on its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis, as adjusted for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim periods. If, however, the entity is unable to reliably estimate its annual effective tax rate, then the actual effective tax rate for the year-to-date may be the best estimate of the entity’s annual effective tax rate. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company determined that it was unable to make a reliable estimate of its annual effective tax rate due to the sensitivity of the rate as it relates to its forecasted full year 2020 results and uncertainty related to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Therefore, the Company recorded a tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 based on its actual year-to-date effective tax rate.

Table of Contents

The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 31.72%51.0% and (141.12)%74.5% for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, respectively. The Company’s ETR was (231.6)%5.20% and 2.8%8.41% for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, respectively. The Company recorded a net discrete tax (benefit) expense of $0.4(0.3) million and a benefit of $2.23.3 million in the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 primarily related to a valuation allowance recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets not expected to be realized in Spain. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $0.7 million and $2.6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 from a release of the U.S. interest limitation valuation allowance due to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020. The Company recorded a tax benefit in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $8.2 million as a result of a tax free  reorganization  to  consolidate  its  foreign  operation  and  reversed  a  deferred  tax  liability  related  to  foreign  tax withholding on unremitted foreign earnings. The variance in the ETR for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 20192020 was also impacted by the mix of U.S. and non-U.S. earnings and related tax expense, the tax treatment of income attributable to non-controlling interests and the exclusion of tax benefits related to losses recorded in certain foreign operations. The income attributable to the non-controlling interests is taxable to EVO, LLC’s individual owners other than the Company. Income tax liabilities are incurred with respect to foreign operations whereas income of EVO, LLC in the U.S. flows through and is taxable to EVO, LLC’s owners.

Management assesses the available and objectively verifiable evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective, negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred in certain jurisdictions over the preceding twelve quarters ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as the Company’s projections of future growth. As a result, the Company considered both (i) historical core earnings, after adjusting for certain nonrecurring items, and (ii) the projected future profitability of its core operations after taking into account the Company’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of enacted changes in the application of the interest expense limitation rules beginning in 2022. The Company has established $6.5$10.6 million of valuation allowances in the current and prior periods to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized in certain European jurisdictions and the US interest limitation carryforward.jurisdictions. Release of a valuation allowance would result in the realization of all or a portion of the related deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period in which the release is recorded.

Derivatives

Designated Derivatives

In May 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $500.0 million to reduce a portion of the exposure to fluctuations in LIBOR interest rates associated with our variable-rate term loan. The interest rate swap has a fixed rate of 0.2025% and a maturity date of December 31, 2022.

The interest rate swap is designated as an effective cash flow hedge involving the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

24

Table of Contents

The Company performed a regression analysis at inception of the hedging relationship in which it compared the historical monthly changes in the termination clean price of the actual designated interest rate swap to the historical monthly changes in the termination clean price of a hypothetically perfect interest rate swap with terms that exactly match the hedged transactions and a fair value of zero at its inception using 37 different forward curves. Based on the regression results, the Company determined that the hedging instrument was highly effective at inception. On an ongoing basis, the Company assesses hedge effectiveness prospectively and retrospectively. The hedge continued to be highly effective for the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021.

Each share of Preferred Stock had an initial liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Holders of shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative, paid-in-kind (“PIK”) dividends, which are payable semi-annually in arrears by increasing the liquidation preference for each outstanding share of Preferred Stock. These PIK dividends accrue at an annual rate of (i) 6.00% per annum for the first ten years and (ii) 8.00% per annum thereafter, subject in each case to a 1.00% per annum increase inthereafter. At the event that approval of the investment by the Company’s stockholders as contemplated by Nasdaq listing rules (“Stockholder Approval”) is not obtained prior to the earlier of the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, and August 1, 2021.the Company’s stockholders voted to approve the elimination of the limitation on conversion of the Preferred Stock in the event the conversion results in Class A Common Stock ownership in excess of 19.99% of the aggregate voting power as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635. Holders of Preferred Stock are also entitled, on an as-converted basis, to participate in and receive any dividends declared or paid on the Class A Common Stock, and no dividends may be paid to holders of Class A Common Stock unless full participating dividends are concurrently paid to holders of Preferred Stock.

The Preferred Stock’s initial carrying value is recorded at a discount to its liquidation preference. In accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5.Q, Increasing Rate Preferred Stock, the discount is considered an unstated dividend cost that must be amortized over the period preceding commencement of the perpetual dividend using the effective interest method, by charging the imputed dividend cost against retained earnings and increasing the carrying amount of the preferred stock by a corresponding amount. The discount is therefore being amortized over ten years using a 6.22% effective interest rate. The total PIK dividends and accretion of the discount combined represents a period’s total preferred stock dividend cost, which is subtracted from net income or added to net loss to arrive at net income (loss) availableattributable to Class A common stockholders on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). For the three months and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the initial carrying value of the preferred stock has been increased by $2.3$2.4 million and $4.1$4.8 million, respectively, for the accretion of the PIK dividend. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the carrying value of the preferred stock has been increased by $1.8 million for the accretion of the PIK dividend.

Each holder of Preferred Stock has the right, at its option, to convert its Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock, at any time and from time to time after the receipt of Stockholder Approval or the consent of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock waiving the Company’s requirement to seek Stockholder Approval.time. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which a share of Preferred Stock will convert at any time is equal to the product of (i) the then-effective conversion rate and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the sum of the then-effective liquidation preference per share of Preferred Stock and the amount of any accrued and unpaid PIK dividends by the initial liquidation preference of $1,000. The conversion rate of the Preferred Stock was initially set at 63.2911 shares of Class A Common Stock, based on an implied conversion price of $15.80 per share of Class A Common Stock. The conversion rate is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar events. The conversion rate is also subject to adjustment for certain antidilutive offerings occurring during the first nine months following the issuance of the Preferred Stock, subject to certain caps set forth in the certificate of designations for the Preferred Stock. The Company has the right to settle any conversion at the request of a holder of Preferred Stock in cash based on the last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock.

Subject to certain conditions, the Company may, at its option, require conversion of all (but not less than all) of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock to Class A Common Stock if, for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding notification of the election to convert, the last reported closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock is at least (i) 180% of the conversion price prior to the fourth semi-annual PIK dividend payment date, (ii) 170% of the conversion price on or after the fourth and prior to the sixth semi-annual PIK dividend payment date, (iii) 160% of the conversion price on or after the sixth and prior to the eighth semi-annual PIK dividend payment date, or (iv) 150% of the conversion price on or after the eighth semi-annual PIK dividend payment date. If the Company elects to mandatorily convert all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock prior to the sixth semi-annual PIK dividend payment date, then, for purposes of such conversion, the liquidation preference of each outstanding share of Preferred Stock will be increased by the compounded amount of all remaining scheduled PIK dividend payments on the Preferred Stock through, and including, the sixth semi-annual PIK dividend payment date.

The holders of the Preferred Stock are generally entitled to vote with the holders of the shares of Class A common stock on all matters submitted for a vote to the Class A common stockholders (voting together with the holders of shares of Class A common stock as one class) on an as-converted basis, subject to certain limitations.

The Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company at any time after ten years for a cash purchase price equal to the liquidation preference as of the redemption date plus accumulated and unpaid regular PIK dividends. If the Company undergoes a change of control (as defined in the certificate of designations for the Preferred Stock), each holder of Preferred Stock may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of its then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock for cash consideration equal to 150% of the then-current liquidation preference per share of Preferred Stock plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any (or, if the repurchase date for such change of control is on or after the sixth semi-annual PIK dividend payment date, 100% of the liquidation preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any). Because the occurrence of a change of control may be outside of the Company’s control, the Company has classified the Preferred Stock as mezzanine equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. If a change of control were to occur as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company might have been required to repurchase the Preferred Stock for $234.4$245.1 million. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company believed that the occurrence of a change of control outside of the Company’s control that would trigger the right of the holder of Preferred Stock to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Preferred Stock for cash was not probable. Therefore, the Preferred Stock is not accreted to the current redemption value.

(17)     Redeemable Non-controlling Interests

The Company owns 66% of eService, the Company’s Polish subsidiary. The eService shareholders’ agreement includes a provision whereby PKO Bank Polski, the owner of 34% of eService, has the option to compel the Company to purchase the shares of eService held by PKO Bank Polski, at a price per share based on the fair value of the shares. The option expires on January 1, 2024. Because the exercise of this option is not solely within the Company’s control, the Company has classified this interest as RNCI and presents the redemption value within the

At each balance sheet date, the RNCI is reported at its redemption value, which represents the estimated fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital, or accumulated deficit in absence of additional paid-in capital.

In October 2020, the Company, through its Mexican subsidiary, formed a joint venture with BCI, pursuant to which the Company owns 50.1% and BCI owns 49.9% of the equity of the Chilean subsidiary pursuant to the terms of a shareholders agreement between the parties. Under the shareholders agreement, BCI has the option to compel the Company to purchase BCI’s shares in the Chilean subsidiary at a price per share based on the fair value of the shares. The option becomes effective two years after the agreement date. Because the exercise of this option is not solely within the Company’s control, the Company has classified this interest as RNCI and presents the redemption value within the mezzanine equity section of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. At each balance sheet date, the RNCI is reported at its redemption value, which represents the estimated fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital, or accumulated deficit.deficit in absence of additional paid-in capital.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, EVO, Inc. owns 50.8%56.8% of EVO, LLC. The EVO, LLC operating agreement includes a provision whereby Blueapple may deliver a sale notice to EVO, Inc., upon receipt of which EVO, Inc. will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to pursue a public offering of shares of its Class A common stock and use the net proceeds therefrom to purchase LLC Interests from Blueapple. Upon receipt of such a sale notice, the Company may elect, at the Company’s option (determined solely by its independent directors (within the meaning of the rules of the NASDAQNasdaq stock market (“Nasdaq”))market) who are disinterested), to cause EVO, LLC to instead redeem the applicable LLC Interests for cash; provided that Blueapple consents to any election by the Company to cause EVO, LLC to redeem the LLC Interests based on the fair value of the Company’s Class A common shares on such date. Because this option is not solely within the Company’s control, the Company has classified this interest as RNCI and reports the RNCI at redemption value, which represents the fair value, as temporary within the mezzanine equity section of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and is reported atsheets. The changes in redemption value which represents fair value,are recorded with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital, or accumulated deficit.deficit in the absence of additional paid-in capital.

Cash equivalents consist of a money market fund that is valued using a market price in an active market (Level 1). Level 1 instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.

Contingent consideration relates to potential payments that the Company may be required to make associated with acquisitions. To the extent that the valuation of these liabilities are based on inputs that are less observable or not observable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for measures categorized in Level 3.

The estimated fair value of Blueapple’s RNCI is derived from the closing stock price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the last day of the period.

The estimated fair value of eService’s RNCI is determined utilizing an income approach, weighted at 75%50%, based on the forecasts of expected future cash flows, and the market approach, weighted at 25%50%, based on the guideline public company data. In applying the income approach, significant unobservable inputs included (i) the Weighted-Average Costweighted-average cost of Capitalcapital (“WACC”) used to discount the future cash flows, which was 13.5%12.0%, based on the markets in which the business operates and (ii) growth rates used within the future cash flows, which were up to 10.4%17.5%, based on historic trends, current and expected market conditions, and management’s forecast assumptions. A future increase in the WACC would result in a decrease in the fair value of RNCI in eService. Conversely, a decrease in the WACC would result in an increase in the fair value of RNCI in eService. In applying the market approach, the ranges of the valuation multiples as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 were 3.50x-4.00x4.00x-4.50x and 7.00x-7.50x8.00x-10.00x for revenue and EBITDA, respectively.

The estimated fair value of Chile’s RNCI approximates its carrying amount as of June 30, 2021, given the proximity of the transaction date (i.e. formation of the joint venture and its beginning of operations in early June 2021, after securing approval from the Comisién Para el Mercado Financiero (“CMF”)) and the measurement date.

In May 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to reduce a portion of the exposure to fluctuations in LIBOR interest rates associated with ourits variable-rate debt. The fair value of the interest rate swap was determined based on the present value of the estimated future net cash flows using the LIBOR forward rate curve as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. The future interest rates are derived from observable market interest rate curves and thus fall within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The credit valuation adjustment associated with the derivative, related to

33

Table of Contents

the likelihood of default by the Company and the counterparty, was not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, the fair value of the interest rate swap is classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As described in Note 14, “Derivatives,” the fair value of the interest rate swap was a $0.7$0.1 million liability and $0.5 million liability at SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

In June 2021, the Company entered into a foreign currency swap and window forward contracts to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates related to certain foreign intercompany balances. The fair value of the foreign currency swaps and window forward contracts were determined based on an estimate of the expected cash flows using the mark-to-market rate as of June 30, 2021. The Company also considers counterparty credit risk in the determination of fair value. The mark-to-market rates are derived from observable inputs and thus fall within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. As described in Note 14, “Derivatives,” the fair value of the foreign currency swap and window forward contracts were a $0.2 million liability and $1.8 million asset, respectively, at June 30, 2021.

The Company was a member of Visa Europe Limited (“Visa Europe”) through certain of the Company’s subsidiaries in Europe. In 2016, Visa Inc. (“Visa”) acquired all of the membership interests in Visa Europe. In connection withAs part of the acquisition,proceeds from the sale of its membership interests, one of the Company’s subsidiaries received shares of Visa Series C preferred stock and another subsidiary received economic rights relating to shares of Visa Series C preferred stock under a contractual arrangement with a former member of Visa Europe.

Table of Contents

The Visa Series C preferred stock is convertible into Visa Series A preferred stock at periodic intervals over the 12 year period following the acquisition date at Visa’s discretion. In September 2020, Visa issued a partial conversion and conversion adjustment with respect to its Series C preferred stock. Pursuant to the partial conversion and conversion adjustment, holders of Series C preferred stock received shares of Series A preferred stock and the conversion ratio for such holder’s shares of Series C preferred stock was reduced. The Series A preferred stock is convertible into shares of Visa Class A common stock upon a transfer to any holder that is eligible to hold Visa Class A common stock. Holders of Series A preferred stock are able to effectuate a transfer to an eligible holder through a sales facility established by Visa’s transfer agent or through a third party broker.

The Visa Series A preferred stock, which is presented in investments in equity securities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, is reported at fair value. In connection with the partial conversion and the measurement of the investment in Visa Series A preferred stock at fair value, the Company recognized a gain of $15.8$2.5 million and $2.3 million for the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.

2021, respectively. The fair value of Visa Series A preferred stock is determined using a market approach based on the quoted market price of Visa Class A common stock, and as a result is classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The remaining Visa Series C preferred stock areis carried at cost in the amount of €6.5 million and €12.9 million ($7.4 million and $14.7 million based on the foreign exchange rate at the time of the acquisition) as of Septembereach of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019, respectively,2020, and areis presented in other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value of the remaining Visa Series C preferred stock of $19.8$21.9 million and $37.8$20.4 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020, respectively, is based upon inputs classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These inputs include the fair value of Visa Class A common stock as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the conversion factor of Visa Series C preferred stock to Visa Class A common stock, and a discount due to the lack of liquidity, which represents a measure of fair value that is unobservable or requires management’s judgment.

The estimated fair value of receivables, settlement processing assets and obligations, due to and from related parties and settlement lines of credit approximate their respective carrying values due to their short term nature. The estimated fair value of long-term debt as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020 was $586.1586.8 million and $711.9$592.6 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of long-term debt, which is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, is based on quoted bid-ask spreads within the lender syndicate.

Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

One of the Company’s financial institution referral partners, Grupo Banco Popular, was acquired by Santander in June 2017, which has adversely impacted the Company’s business in Spain. Revenues from this channel have declined significantly due primarily to reduced merchant referrals following Santander’s consolidation of Grupo Banco Popular branches and the bank’s lack of performance of certain of its obligations under our agreements. The Company believes that its agreements with Santander, including the bank’s referral obligations, remain in full force and effect and the Company is pursuing the contractual and legal remedies available to the Company as it works to resolve these and other matters.

In December 2020, the Company filed a claim in the Court of First Instance in Madrid, Spain seeking recovery in connection with Santander’s breach of certain of its exclusivity, non-compete and merchant referral obligations under the commercial agreements between the parties. The litigation is at a preliminary stage and the Company cannot at this time determine the likelihood of any outcome or any damages that may be awarded to it. There can be no assurance as to when or if the Company will recover the amounts to which the Company believes it is entitled.

The Company is also party to various claims and lawsuits incidental to its business. The Company does not believe the ultimate outcome of such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a zero couponzero-coupon United States Treasury security with a maturity equal to the expected life of the stock option from the date of the grant. The assumption for expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of a peer group of market participants as the Company has limited historical volatility. It is the Company’s intent to retain all profits for the operations of the business for the foreseeable future, as such the dividend yield assumption is 0. The Company applies the simplified method in determining the expected life of the stock options as the Company has limited historical basis upon which to determine historical exercise periods. The Company’s assumption of the expected life is determined based on the general grant vesting period plus half of the remaining life through expiration. All stock options exercised will be settled in Class A common stock.

Market and Service-Based Stock Options

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, 287,395 stock options with a fair value of approximately $2.9 million were granted to the Company’s CEO. These options vest only upon the satisfaction of certain market-based and service-based vesting conditions. The market-based vesting condition, which was met in the second quarter of 2021, required that the 20 trading day trailing average price for the Company’s Class A common stock must equal or exceed 110% of the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the grant date for a period of 20 consecutive trading days. In addition, the options are subject to a service-based vesting condition that is satisfied in 3 equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date.

For the purpose of calculating share-based compensation expense, the fair value of this grant was determined through the application of the Monte-Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:

Our Tech-enabled division includes our integrated,ISV, B2B, and eCommerce businesses. Our Direct division includes long-term, exclusive referral relationships with leading financial institutions as well as our direct sales force, such as our direct salespersons and call center representatives. In markets where we do not have an active bankrepresentatives, and independent merchant referral network, such as the United States, our direct sales force represents the entirety of this division.relationships. Our Traditional division, unlike our Direct and Tech-enabled divisions, represents a merchant portfolio which is not actively managed by the Company. This division only exists in the United States, as it represents our heritage independent sales organization (“ISO”)organizations relationships, and its profits are used to invest in our growth opportunities, such as tech-enabled capabilities and M&A.

The majority of our revenue is generated from transaction-based fees, calculated as a percentage of transaction value or as a standard fee per transaction.

We plan to continue to grow our business and improve our operations by expanding market share in our existing markets and entering new markets. In our current markets, we seek to grow our business through broadening our distribution network, leveraging our innovative payment and technology solutions, and acquiring additional merchant portfolios and tech-enabled businesses. We seek to enter new markets through acquisitions and partnerships in Latin America, Europe, and certain other markets.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic and related government actions to control its spread began to impact our operating results in March of 2020. At the onset of the pandemic, year-over-year volumes declined in most of our markets and across most industry verticals, reaching a low point in mid-April. Since then, volumes steadily improved through July. Starting in

August,COVID-19

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, year-over-year volumes declined across our markets and most industry verticals, reaching a low point in mid-April 2020. Since then, we have experienced volatility in our payment volumes, primarily driven by the extent of government restrictions in various jurisdictions. Our year-over-year volumes demonstrated significant improvement beginning in March 2021, which reflects the initial impact of the pandemic in March 2020 coupled with increased consumer spending in certain of our markets began to flatten, particularly in Europe. This trend continued through September, and in October volumes in some of our European markets began to decline as certain COVID-19 related restrictions were reinstated in response to an increase in infection rates.  For October 2020, overall payment volumes in our Americas segment were approximately 2% below October 2019, excluding Canada as well as our United States Traditional division, and volumes in our Europe segment were also approximately 2% below October 2019, excluding ATM transactions processed in Germany. It is likely that our volumes will continue to exhibit volatility asat the effectsend of the pandemic extend into next year.  first quarter 2021 stemming from the relaxation of government restrictions and increased vaccination distribution. Monthly volumes throughout the second quarter were significantly above 2020 levels due to the easing of government restrictions.

In the first quarter of 2020, we implemented a number of business continuity plans and formed a crisis management team to address challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, including those related to the health and safety of our employees and partners, and to minimize disruption to our merchants. Beginning in early April 2020, we took a number of steps to align our cost structure and cash flows with the expected near-term revenue impact of COVID-19. These actions included a series of initiatives to reduce fixed costs,from the pandemic, including significant reductions in payroll expenses through a combination of furloughs, terminations, and salary reductions, and certain non-payroll related costs. Based on these actions, we estimate thatsignificantly reducing SG&A expenses. While we have reducedreintroduced certain expenses as our cost structure on a go forward basis by approximately 10% of our core selling, generalbusiness and administrative expenses. In addition,operations have started to normalize, we reduced our capital expenditures for 2020 through the deferral of non-critical projects.

We will continue to actively manage our expenses and cash flows based on our revenues and the economic activity in our markets. The actions we have taken allowed us to realign our cost structure resulting in the financial capacity to invest in our business and support our customers while also increasing our margins.

We expect thatThe ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to negatively impacton our business and results of operations throughwill largely depend on the restprogression of the yearvaccine rollout, the emergence of, and beyond. Theresponse to, virus variants and the extent of the impact ongovernment restrictions across our future financial condition and operating results remains highly uncertain; however,markets. However, we are confident in the financial condition of the Company and our continued ability to manage through this period.challenge. Longer term, we believe the pandemic will serve as a catalyst for greater utilization of digital payments, a trend we are seeing in our markets.

Factors impacting our business and results of operations

In general, our revenue is impacted by factors such as global consumer spending trends, foreign exchange rates, the pace of adoption of commerce-enablement and payment solutions, acquisitions and dispositions, types and quantities of products and services provided to enterprises, timing and length of contract renewals, new enterprise wins, retention rates, mix of payment solution types employed by consumers, and changes in card network fees, including interchange rates and size of enterprises served. In addition, we may pursue acquisitions from time to time. These acquisitions could result in redundant costs, such as increased interest expense resulting from indebtedness incurred to finance such acquisitions, or could require us to incur additional costs as we restructure or reorganize our operations following these acquisitions.

Seasonality

We have experienced in the past, and expect to continue to experience, seasonality in our revenues as a result of consumer spending patterns. InHistorically, in both the Americas and Europe, our revenue has been strongest in our fourth quarter and weakest in our first quarter as many of our merchants experience a seasonal lift during the traditional vacation and holiday months. Operating expenses do not typically fluctuate seasonally. The government restrictions and changes in consumer spending resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have disrupted these typical seasonal patterns.

Foreign currency translation impact on our operations

Our consolidated revenues and expenses are subject to variations caused by the net effect of foreign currency translation on revenues recognized and expenses incurred by our non-U.S. operations. It is difficult to predict the future fluctuations of foreign currency exchange rates and how those fluctuations will impact our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the future. As a result of the relative size of our international operations, these fluctuations may be material on individual balances. Our revenues and expenses from our international operations are generally

denominated in the local currency of the country in which they are derived or incurred. Therefore, the impact of currency fluctuations on our operating results and margins is partially mitigated.

Financial Institution Partnersinstitution partners

Since 2012, we have established partnerships with leading financial institutions around the world. We rely on our various financial institution relationships to grow and maintain our business. These relationships are structured in various ways, such as commercial alliance relationships equity method investments, and joint ventures. We enter into long-term relationships with our bank partners where these partners typically provide exclusive merchant referrals and credit facilities to fund our dailysupport the settlement obligations.process. Our relationships with our financial institution partners may be impacted by, among other things, consolidations in the banking and payments industries. At the end of the second quarter, the Company’s joint venture with BCI commenced operations in Chile following receipt of regulatory operational authorization and the acquisition of Pago Fácil in early June 2021.

Grupo Santander’s (“Santander”) acquisitionOne of our Spanish financial institution referral partner Grupopartners, Banco Popular, (“Popular”)was acquired by Santander in June 20172017.  As reported previously and reflected in our previous years’ financial statements, Santander’s acquisition of Banco Popular has adversely impacted our business in Spain. Revenues from this channel have declined significantly due primarily to reduced merchant referrals following Santander’s consolidation of Popular branchesthe acquisition and the bank’s lack of performance offailure to perform certain of its other obligations under our agreements. We believe our agreements with Santander, including the bank’s referral obligations, remain in full force and effect and we continue to workpursue the contractual and legal remedies available to us to resolve these and other mattersmatters.  In furtherance of those efforts, in December 2020 we filed a manner consistentclaim in the Court of First Instance in Madrid, Spain, seeking various remedies, including monetary damages, in connection with our rightsSantander’s breach of certain of its exclusivity, non-compete and merchant referral obligations under the agreements. However, therecommercial agreements between the parties. The litigation is at a preliminary stage and we cannot at this time determine the likelihood of any outcome or any damages that may be awarded to us. There can be no assurance thatas to when or if we will be ablerecover the amounts to successfully resolve this matterwhich we believe we are entitled or the other remedies sought in connection with Santander or that the bank will comply with its obligations under the agreements.our claims.

Increased regulations and compliance

We, our partners, and our merchants are subject to various laws and regulations that affect the electronic payments industry in the many countries in which our services are used, including numerous laws and regulations applicable to banks, financial institutions, and card issuers. A number of our subsidiaries in our EuropeanEurope segment hold a Payments Institution (“PI”) license, allowing them to operate in the European Union (“EU”(the “EU”) member states in which such subsidiaries do business. As a PI, we are subject to regulation and oversight in the applicable EU member states, which includes, among other obligations, a requirement to maintain specific regulatory capital and adhere to certain rules regarding the conduct of our business, including the European Payment Services Directive of 2015 (“PSD2”). PSD2 contains a number of additional regulatory mandates, such as provisions relating to Strong Customer Authentication (“SCA”), which requiresaim to increase the security of electronic payments by requiring multi-factor user authentication. SCA regulations required industry-wide systems upgrades. In the second half of 2019, we began updating our systems in preparation for the new SCA compliance requirements. Most new SCA requirements which are generally scheduled to go into effect on December 31, 2020.became fully enforced in certain countries in Europe at the end of 2020 while other countries in Europe have adopted staggered timelines and have delayed full enforcement until early 2022. From an operations perspective, we remain focused on developing, coordinating and implementing necessary SCA updates with our merchants and third party providers, including hardware vendors, card issuers and the card networks. Failure to comply with SCA requirements may result in fines from card networks as well as declined payments from card issuers. The EU has also enacted certain legislation relating to the offering of DCC services, which went into effect in April 2020. These new rules require additional disclosures to consumers in connection with our DCC product offerings. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the EU Commission and other national regulators have indicated that enforcement of these regulations will be delayed in order to allow providers additional time to fully implement changes necessary to meet these regulations. Compliance with current and upcoming regulations and compliance deadlines remains a focus for the remainder of 2020 and beyond.2021. In addition, we continue to closely monitor the impact of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union (“Brexit”) on our operations as further details emerge regarding the post-Brexit regulatory landscape. We will avail ourselves ofare currently operating in the United Kingdom’sKingdom within the scope of its temporary permissions regime which will allow uswhile in parallel seeking a stand alone license in the U.K. to continue to operate infacilitate operating our business long-term within that market under our current regulatory permissions for a period of up to 3 years.market.

Liquidity and capital resources for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 20192020

Overview

We have historically funded our operations primarily with cash flow from operations and, when needed, with borrowings, including under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Our principal uses for liquidity have been debt service, capital expenditures, working capital, and funds required to finance acquisitions.

We expect to continue to use capital to innovate and advance our products as new technologies emerge and to accommodate new regulatory requirements in the markets in which we process transactions. We expect these strategies to be funded primarily through cash flow from operations and borrowings from our Senior Secured Credit Facilities, as needed. Short-term liquidity needs will primarily be funded through the revolving credit facility portion of our Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

To the extent that additional funds are necessary to finance future acquisitions, and to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute on our strategy, we anticipate that they will be obtained through additional indebtedness, equity, or debt issuances, or both.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, our capacity under the revolving credit facility portion of our Senior Secured Credit Facilities was $200.0 million, with availability of $198.6$198.6 million for additional borrowings.

On April 21, 2020 we completed the offerborrowings and saleutilization of shares of Preferred Stock to MDP for an aggregate $149.3$1.4 million in net proceeds. We used $69.3 millionstandby letters of the proceeds to repay the balance on our revolving credit facility. On September 30, 2020, we repaid $50.0 million of the outstanding balance on the first lien term loan, in addition to the regular quarterly payment.credit.

On May 5, 2020, the Companywe entered into a Limited Waiver (“Limited(the “Limited Waiver”) with respect to itsour Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The Limited Waiver effects certain changes applicable to the Company’sour revolving credit facility, including: (1)including a waiver of any default or event of default resulting from noncompliance with the consolidated leverage ratio for the period beginning June 30, 2020 and ended on September 30, 2021 (such period of time, the “Covenant Waiver Period”), and during. During the Covenant Waiver Period, the Company will bewe are subject to (1) a consolidated leverage ratio of 6.0x for each fiscal quarter from the quarter ended June 30, 2020 through and including March 31, 2021, a consolidated leverage ratio of 5.5x for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021, and a consolidated leverage ratio of 5.25x for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021 and (2) increased limitations on restricted payments and the incurrence of indebtedness. Other than the items noted above, the Limited Waiver does not modify the significant terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

We have structured our operations in a manner to allow for cash to be repatriated through tax-efficient methods using dividends from foreign jurisdictions as our main source of repatriation. We follow local government regulations and contractual restrictions on cash as well as how much and when dividends can be repatriated. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, cash and cash equivalents of $373.9$376.2 million includes cash in the United States of $151.3$125.7 million and $222.6$250.5 million in foreign jurisdictions. Of the United States cash balances, $33.8$9.3 million is available for general purposes, and the remaining $117.5$116.4 million is considered merchant reserves and settlement-related cash and is therefore unavailable for the Company’sour general use. Of the foreign cash balances, $102.2$142.2 million is available for general purposes, and the remaining $120.4$108.3 million is considered merchant reserves and settlement-related cash and is therefore unable to be repatriated. Refer to Note 1, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on our cash and cash equivalents.

We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future. EVO, Inc. is a holding company that does not conduct any business operations of its own. As a result, EVO, Inc.’s ability to pay cash dividends

Table of Contents

on its common stock, if any, is dependent upon cash dividends and distributions and other transfers from EVO, LLC. The amounts available to EVO, Inc. to pay cash dividends are subject to the covenants and distribution restrictions in its subsidiaries’ loan agreements. Further, EVO, Inc. may not pay cash dividends to holders of Class A common stock unless it concurrently pays full participating dividends to holders of the Preferred Stock on an “as converted” basis.

In connection with our IPO, we entered into the Exchange Agreement with certain of the Continuing LLC Owners, under which these Continuing LLC Owners have the right, from time to time, to exchange their units in EVO, LLC and related shares of EVO, Inc. for shares of our Class A common stock or, at our option, cash. If we choose to satisfy the exchange

Table of Contents

in cash, we anticipate that we will fund such exchange through cash from operations, funds available under the revolving portion of our Senior Secured Credit Facilities, equity or debt issuances or a combination thereof.

In addition, in connection with the IPO, we entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with the Continuing LLC Owners. Although the actual timing and amount of any payments that may be made under the TRA will vary, we expect that the payments that we will be required to make to the Continuing LLC Owners will be significant. Any payments made by us to non-controlling LLC owners under the TRA will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us and, to the extent that we are unable to make payments under the TRA for any reason, the unpaid amounts generally will be deferred and will accrue interest in accordance with the terms of the TRA until paid by us. Refer to Note 5, “Tax Receivable Agreement,” in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the TRA.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

We are party to a borrowing arrangement, referred to as our Senior Secured Credit Facilities, which includes a first lien senior secured credit facility, comprised of a $200.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in June 2023, and a $665.0 million term loan maturing in December 2023. In addition, our Senior Secured Credit Facilities also provide us with the

option to access incremental credit facilities, refinance the loans with debt incurred outside our Senior Secured Credit Facilities, and extend the maturity date of the revolving loans and term loans, subject to certain limitations and terms.

Refer to Note 13, “Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit,” in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on our long-term debt and settlement lines of credit.

Settlement lines of credit

We have specialized lines of credit which are restricted for use in funding settlement. The settlement lines of credit generally have variable interest rates and are subject to annual review. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we had $16.8$11.7 million outstanding under these lines of credit with additional capacity of $125.4$148.9 million to fund settlement.

Contractual obligations

Other than changes which occur in the ordinary course of business, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, there were no significant changes to the contractual obligations reported atas of December 31, 20192020 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

Off-balance sheet transactions

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

Critical accounting policies

Our critical accounting policies have not changed except for the new accounting pronouncements, the refinements to the “Income Taxes” policy and the “Preferred Stock” policy adopted in connection with issuance of Preferred Stock, as noted below, from those reported as of December 31, 20192020 in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

New accounting pronouncements

For information regarding new accounting pronouncements, and the impact of these pronouncements on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, if any, refer to Note 1, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Income taxes

EVO, LLC is considered a pass-through entity for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a pass-through entity, taxable income or loss is passed through to and included in the taxable income of its members.

52

Table of Contents

EVO, Inc. is subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes with respect to our allocable share of taxable income of EVO, LLC and is taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. In addition to incurring actual tax expense, we also may make payments under the TRA. We account for the income tax effects and corresponding TRA effects resulting from future taxable purchases of LLC Interests of the Continuing LLC Owners or exchanges of LLC Interests for Class A common stock at the date of the purchase or exchange by recognizing an increase in our deferred tax assets based on enacted tax rates at that time. Further, we evaluate the likelihood that we will realize the benefit represented by the deferred tax assets and, to the extent that we estimate that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the benefit, we reduce the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets with a valuation allowance. The amounts to be recorded for both the deferred tax assets and the liability for our obligations under the TRA are estimated at the time of any purchase or exchange and are recorded as a reduction to shareholders’ equity; the effects of changes in any of our estimates after this date are included in net earnings. Similarly, the effects of subsequent changes in the enacted tax rates are included in net earnings.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it is expected that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. The Company evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets, and to the extent that the Company estimates that it is more likely than not that a benefit will not be realized, the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets is reduced with a valuation allowance. As a part of this evaluation, the Company assesses all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations (including cumulative losses in recent years), to determine whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to realize existing deferred tax assets.

The Company has identified objective and verifiable negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses on an unadjusted basis in certain jurisdictions over the preceding twelve quarters ended September 30, 2020. Additionally, the Company has noted a decline in the volume of transactions processed for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior year period, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company evaluated both its actual forecasts of future taxable income and its historical core earnings by jurisdiction over the prior twelve quarters, adjusted for certain nonrecurring items. On the basis of this assessment, and after considering future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, and its actual forecasts of future taxable income, the Company established valuation allowances in certain European jurisdictions to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the United States jurisdiction, however, with the exception of the valuation allowance for the United States interest expense limitation, the Company concluded that its indefinite lived deferred tax assets will be realizable and recorded no valuation allowance. In arriving at this determination, the Company considered both (i) historical core earnings, after adjusting for certain nonrecurring items, and (ii) the projected future profitability of its core operations after taking into account the Company’s estimated recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of enacted changes in the application of the interest expense limitation rules beginning in 2022.

In the United States jurisdiction, the Company’s future taxable income projections are derived from historical core operations adjusted for certain non-recurring items, which indicate that the Company will move out of a period of cumulative losses as taxable loss periods are replaced by taxable income periods. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if the Company’s estimates of the projected future profitability of its core operations are reduced by a level significantly different than the Company’s historical revenues and expenses adjusted for certain nonrecurring items. As a secondary measure, the Company compares its adjusted historical core earnings to its actual forecast to ensure that adjusted core earnings are realizable. The future taxable income projections are subject to a high degree of uncertainty and could be impacted, both positively and negatively, by changes in our business or the markets in which we operate. A change in the assessment of the realizability of its deferred tax assets could materially impact our results of operations.

Refer to Note 5, “Tax Receivable Agreement,” and Note 12, “Income Taxes,” in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Company’s income taxes and the tax receivable agreement.

Preferred Stock

On April 21, 2020, we issued 152,250 shares of Preferred Stock for approximately $149.3 million in total net proceeds. Holders of shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative, paid-in-kind dividends, and have the right, at their option, to convert the Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock. If the Company undergoes a change of control (as defined in the certificate of designations for the Preferred Stock), the holders of Preferred Stock may require us to repurchase all or a portion of its then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock for cash consideration. Because the occurrence of a change of control may be outside of our control, we have classified the Preferred Stock as mezzanine equity on the consolidated balance sheets.

Refer to Note 16, “Redeemable Preferred Stock,” for further information.

Inflation

While inflation may impact our revenue and expenses, we believe the effects of inflation, if any, on our results of operations and financial condition have not been significant. However, there can be no assurance that our results of operations and financial condition will not be materially impacted by inflation in the future.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our future income, cash flows and fair values of theour financial instruments are subject to risks relating to interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest rate risk

We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our long-term debt and settlement lines of credit facilities, which have variable interest rates. The interest rates on these facilities are based on a fixed margin plus a market interest rate, which can fluctuate but is subject to a minimum rate. Interest rate changes could impact the amount of our interest payments, and accordingly, our future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant.

51

Table of Contents

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we had approximately $592.8$587.9 million of debt outstanding, net of accrued interest. In May 2020, we entered intointerest, of which $500.0 million was subject to an interest rate swaphedge. The Company entered into the interest rate hedge in 2020 to reduce a portion of the exposure to market rate risk associated with ourits variable-rate debt. Refer to Note 14, “Derivatives,” in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the future, the interest rate may increase and we may be subject to interest rate risk. Based on the amount outstanding on our Senior Secured Credit Facilities on SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, an increase of 100 basis points in the applicable variable interest rate would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $0.9 million. A decrease of 100 basis points in the applicable variable interest rate (assuming such reduction would not be below the minimum rate) would reduce our annual interest expense by approximately $0.9 million.

Foreign currency risk

We are exposed to changes in foreign currency rates as a result of our significant foreign operations. Revenue and income generated by international operations will increase or decrease compared to prior periods as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. There has been no significant changerates related to certain foreign intercompany balances. The Company entered into a foreign currency swap and window forward contracts in ourJune 2021, to help mitigate exposure to market risk duringfluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The foreign currency swap and window forward contracts have maturities of less than three months and are not designated as hedging instruments. Refer to Note 14, “Derivatives,” in the quarter ended September 30, 2020. notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

For additional detail regarding our exposure to foreign currency risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules

54

Table of Contents

13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the “Exchange Act”) as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, with the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error and mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of controls.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the degree of compliance with

52

Table of Contents

the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except for the risk factor set forth below, thereThere have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed under "Item 1A. Risk Factors" included in our 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted, and is expected to continue to disrupt, our business.

The COVID-19 pandemic and related government actions implemented to reduce its spread continue to negatively impact the global economy, disrupt consumer spending and global supply chains, and create significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. Foreign, federal, state, and local governments and health officials around the globe, including in all markets where EVO operates, have taken broad actions to mitigate the health crisis, including curtailment of movement and commerce such as mandatory business closures, limits on non-essential travel, “social or physical distancing” guidelines and “shelter-in-place” mandates. As a result, we and our merchants have seen a significant disruption in our business, including a steep decline in transaction volume and the number of transactions processed and therefore a decline in revenue in most of our industry verticals. This has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant adverse impact on our business and financial performance. Although certain economies are reopening, other jurisdictions have reinstated

55

Table of Contents

restrictions in response to recent increases in infection rates. Continued or future shutdowns, partial reopenings, or the re-imposition of previously lifted business restrictions could directly or indirectly impact transaction volumes and negatively impact our operating results. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—COVID 19” for further information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on transaction volumes to date.

The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business remains highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as information continues to rapidly evolve. Factors such as the duration and spread of the outbreak (including whether there are additional periods of increases in the number of COVID-19 cases in future periods), its severity, the effectiveness of government actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, the length of government restrictions, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions resume, will affect how we are impacted by the pandemic, including our ability to execute on our long-term and short-term strategic initiatives. A prolonged disruption in economic activity could adversely impact our business and financial performance, including the potential impairment of certain assets.

In addition to government restrictions, consumer fears regarding the virus may reduce traffic to our merchants for an extended period of time. Consumer spending may also be negatively impacted by general macroeconomic conditions, including a rise in unemployment, and decreased consumer confidence resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Any significant reduction in consumer visits to, or spending at, our merchants, would result in a loss of revenue to us. In addition, certain of our merchants have been forced to temporarily or permanently close their businesses as a result of the pandemic which has resulted, and could continue to result, in additional chargeback or merchant receivable losses.

Even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, we may continue to experience significant impacts to our business as a result of its global economic impact, including any economic downturn or recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Recent sales of unregistered securities

There were no unregistered sales of equity during the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021, except for shares of Class A common stock issued to the Continuing LLC Owners in satisfaction of the exchange rights granted to them in connection with the IPO.

From time to time following the IPO, the Continuing LLC Owners (other than Blueapple) have the right to require us to exchange all or a portion of their LLC Interests and related shares of Class C common stock or Class D common stock for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis with their(simultaneously cancelling an equal number of shares of Class C common stock or Class D common stock as applicable, being cancelled upon any such exchange.of the exchanging member). We may, under certain circumstances, elect to redeem the LLC Interests from any exchanging holder under the terms of the EVO LLC Agreement in lieu of any such exchange. On May 25, 2021, pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, each outstanding share of Class C common stock was automatically converted into one share of Class D common stock.  

Following the cancellation of Class B common stock on May 25, 2021, Blueapple has acontinues to hold 32,163,538 LLC Interests and maintains all of its rights under the EVO LLC Agreement, including the sale right under the EVO LLC Agreement that provides that, upon the receipt of a sale notice from Blueapple, the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to pursue a public offering of shares of Class A common stock and use the net proceeds therefrom to purchase LLC Interest from Blueapple. Upon the Company’s receipt of such a sale notice, the Company may elect, at its option (determined solely by its independent directors (within the meaning of the rules of Nasdaq) who are disinterested), to cause EVO LLC to instead redeem the applicable LLC Interest for cash; provided that Blueapple consents to any election by the Company to cause EVO LLC to redeem the LLC Interests.
