CSG SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

1. GENERAL

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, and for the quarters ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results have been included. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Financial Statements”) should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”), contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 (our “2020“2021 10-K”), filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the entire year ending December 31, 2021.2022.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements. The preparation of the accompanying Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications.Beginning with the second quarter of 2021, we determined that settlement and merchant reserve assets consist of restricted cash and are now included with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (the “Statements of Cash Flows”). Historically, we presented the change in settlement and merchant reserve assets and liabilities as part of the changes in operating assets and liabilities on the Statements of Cash Flows. Additionally, cash flows related to our settlement and merchant reserve liabilities have been reclassified from cash flows from operating activities to cash flows from financing activities.

Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These changes have no impact on our previously reported consolidated net income, total assets, including cash and cash equivalents, liabilities, and equity. In addition, these changes have no material impact on our previously reported cash flows from operating activities.

Revenue. The majority of our future revenue is related to our revenue management solution customer contracts that include variable consideration dependent upon a series of monthly volumes and/or daily usage of services and have contractual terms ending from 20212022 through 2028.2028. Our customer contracts may include guaranteed minimums and fixed monthly or annual fees. As of March 31, 2021,2022, our aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations is approximately $900 million,$2 billion, which is made up of fixed fee consideration and guaranteed minimums expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied). We expect to recognize approximately 80%65% of this amount by the end of 2023,2024, with the remaining amount recognized by the end of 2028.2028. We have excluded from this amount variable consideration expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied.

The nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of our revenue and how revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors is most appropriately depicted by revenue type, geographic region, and customer vertical.

Deferred revenue recognized forduring the first quarters of 2021and 2020ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $20.1$28.0 million and $17.7$20.1 million, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of the purchase to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, our cash equivalents consist primarily of institutional money market funds, commercial paper, and time deposits held at major banks.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of restricted cash that serves to collateralize outstanding letters of credit.  This restricted cash is included in cash and cash equivalents in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (“Balance Sheets” or “Balance Sheet”). For the cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies and/or located outside the U.S., we do not anticipate any material amounts being unavailable for use in running our business, but may face limitations on moving cash out of certain foreign jurisdictions due to currency controls and potential negative economic consequences.

Short-term InvestmentsRestricted Cash. Restricted cash includes cash that is legally or contractually restricted, as well as our settlement and Other merchant reserve assets. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $2.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of restricted cash that serves to collateralize outstanding letters of credit included in cash and cash equivalents in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (“Balance Sheets” or “Balance Sheet”).

Settlement and Merchant Reserve Assets and Liabilities. Settlement assets and liabilities represent cash collected on behalf of customers via payment processing services which is held for an established holding period until settlement with the customer. The holding period is generally one to four business days depending on the payment model, risk profile, and contractual terms with the customer. During the holding period, cash is held in trust with various major financial institutions and a corresponding liability is recorded for the amounts owed to the merchant. At any given time, there may be differences between the cash held in trust and the corresponding liability due to the timing of operating-related cash transfers.

Merchant reserves represent deposits collected from customers to mitigate our risk of loss due to nonperformance of settlement obligations initiated by our customers using our payment processing services, or non-payment by customers for services rendered by us. We perform a credit risk evaluation on each customer based on multiple criteria, which provide the basis for the deposit amount required for each customer. For the duration of our relationship with each customer, we hold their reserve deposits with major financial institutions. We hold these funds in separate accounts and are fully offset by corresponding liabilities.

Due to their short maturities, the carrying amounts of cash equivalents, settlement and merchant reserve assets and liabilities, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair value.

Our short-term investments and certain of our cash equivalents are considered “available-for-sale” and are reported at fair value in our Balance Sheets, with unrealized gains and losses, net of the related income tax effect, excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized and unrealized gains and losses were not material in any period presented.

Primarily all short-term investments held by us as of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 have contractual maturities of less than two years from the time of acquisition.

The 2016 Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the note holders upon the satisfaction of specified conditions and during certain periods. During the period from, and including, December 15, 2021 to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 15, 2022 and on or after December 15, 2035,(the “Conversion Period”), the 2016 Convertible Note holders maywere able to convert all or any portion of their 2016 Convertible Notes at the conversion rate then in effect at any time regardless(17.7621 shares of these conditions.our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2016 Convertible Notes).

During the net carrying value of the 2016 Convertible Notes of $226.9Conversion Period, $229.1 million has been classified as a current liability in our Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2021.

As a result of our quarterly dividend in March 2021 (see Note 7), the previous conversion rate for the 2016 Convertible Notes of 17.6656 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2016 Convertible Notes which is equivalentwere converted.

As a result of our irrevocable election made in December 2021 to settle all conversions during the Conversion Period (discussed above) in cash, a derivative liability was created and required to be separated from the debt upon conversion by the holders. There were no conversions as of December 31, 2021. At the close of the Observation Period, as a result of the conversions in March 2022, we recognized a $7.5 million loss on derivative liability upon debt conversion due to the related change in our stock price over the Observation Period. The loss was recorded to other income (expense) in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (the “Income Statements”) with the remaining amount paid above par recorded to additional paid-in capital.

5. ACQUISITIONS

5.Tekzenit, Inc. In 2020, we acquired Tekzenit, Inc. (“Tekzenit”) for a purchase price of approximately $10 million. The purchase agreement includes provisions for additional purchase price (“Provisional Purchase Price”) payments in the form of earn-out and qualified sales payments for up to $10 million over a three-year measurement period upon meeting certain financial and sales criteria. Of the Provisional Purchase Price amount, $6 million is considered contingent purchase price payments, of which $1.5 million was accrued upon acquisition. The remaining $4 million is tied to certain financial and sales criteria over a defined service period by the eligible recipients and is therefore accounted for as post-acquisition compensation. As of March 31, 2022, we have 0t accrued any amounts related to the post-acquisition compensation payments due to the uncertainty of payment.

MobileCard Holdings, LLC. In 2018, we invested in MobileCard Holdings, LLC (“MobileCard”), a mobile money fintech payment company that enables omni-channel digital payments and financial inclusion in Latin America. In July 2021, we obtained a 64% controlling interest in the company, and beginning in the third quarter of 2021, the results of MobileCard were consolidated in our results of operations. We preliminarily recorded goodwill of $9.6 million and are in the process of reviewing the valuation analysis and calculations necessary to finalize the required purchase price allocations. We expect to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date.

12


Keydok, LLC. On September 14, 2021, we acquired Keydok LLC (“Keydok”), a digital identity and document management platform provider, headquartered in Mexico. We acquired 100% of the equity of Keydok for a purchase price of $1.0 million, which includes provisions for up to $18.0 million of potential future earn-out payments. The earn-out payments are tied to performance-based goals and a defined service period by the eligible recipients and are accounted for as post-acquisition compensation. The earn-out period is through September 30, 2025. As of March 31, 2022, we have 0t accrued any amounts related to the potential earn-out payments due to the uncertainty of payment. We have preliminarily recorded goodwill of $1.0 million, however, are in the process of obtaining the necessary information to finalize the required purchase price allocations. We expect to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date.

DGIT Systems Pty Ltd. On October 4, 2021, we acquired DGIT Systems Pty Ltd (“DGIT”), a provider of configure, price and quote (CPQ) and order management solutions for the telecommunications industry. We acquired 100% of the equity of DGIT for a purchase price of approximately $16 million, approximately $14 million paid upon close and the remaining escrowed funds of approximately $2 million to be paid over the next four years, subject to certain reductions, as applicable. This acquisition includes provisions for up to approximately $13 million of potential future earn-out payments. The earn-out payments are tied to performance-based goals and a defined service period by the eligible recipients and are accounted for as post-acquisition compensation, as applicable. The earn-out period is through September 30, 2025. As of March 31, 2022, we have accrued $0.2 million related to the potential earn-out payments.

The preliminary estimated fair values of assets acquired primarily include goodwill of $7.6 million, acquired customer contracts of $5.1 million, and acquired software of $3.6 million. The estimated fair values are considered provisional as we are completing our analysis for unbilled and deferred revenue, intangible assets, and income taxes. Thus, the provisional measurements of fair value are subject to change, however, such changes are not expected to be significant. We expect to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date.

6. RESTRUCTURING AND REORGANIZATION CHARGES

For the first quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded restructuring and reorganization charges of $13.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2022 we implemented the following restructuring and reorganizational activities:

In connection with our workplace of the future philosophy, we consolidated space at six of our leased real estate locations in the United States and India, resulting in restructuring charges related to the impairments of operating lease right-of-use assets, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements and accelerated depreciation of $11.1 million.
We reduced our workforce by approximately 20 employees, mainly in North America, as a result of organizational changes and efficiencies. As a result, we incurred restructuring charges related to involuntary terminations of $1.5 million

7. COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES

Guarantees. In the ordinary course of business, we may provide guarantees in the form of bid bonds, performance bonds, or standby letters of credit. At March 31, 2021,2022, we had $2.9$3.0 million of restricted assets used to collateralize these guarantees, with $1.9$2.1 million included in cash and cash equivalents and $1.0$0.9 million included in other non-current assets. We have bid bonds and performance guarantees in the form of surety bonds issued through a third-party of $4.4$6.4 million that were not required to be recorded on our Balance Sheet. We are ultimately liable for claims that may occur against these guarantees. We have no history of material claims or are aware of circumstances that would require us to pay under any of these arrangements. We also believe that the resolution of any claim that may arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not be material to our Financial Statements.

13


Additionally, we have money transmitter bonds issued through a third-party for the benefit of various states to comply with the states’ financial requirements and industry regulations for money transmitter licenses. At March 31, 2021,2022, we had total aggregate money transmitter bonds of approximately $15$17 million outstanding.

Warranties. We generally warrant that our solutions and related offerings will conform to published specifications, or to specifications provided in an individual customer arrangement, as applicable. The typical warranty period is 90 days from the date of acceptance of the solution or offering. For certain service offerings we provide a warranty for the duration of the services provided. We generally warrant that those services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner. The typical remedy for breach of warranty is to correct or replace any defective deliverable, and if not possible or practical, we will accept the return of the defective deliverable and refund the amount paid under the customer arrangement that is allocable to the defective deliverable. Our contracts also generally contain limitation of damages provisions in an effort to reduce our exposure to monetary damages arising from breach of warranty claims. Historically, we have incurred minimal warranty costs, and as a result, do not maintain a warranty reserve.

Solution and Services Indemnifications. Our arrangements with our customers generally include an indemnification provision that will indemnify and defend a customer in actions brought against the customer that claim our products and/or services infringe upon a

12


copyright, trade secret, or valid patent. Historically, we have not incurred any significant costs related to such indemnification claims, and as a result, do not maintain a reserve for such exposure.

Claims for Company Non-performance. Our arrangements with our customers typically limit our liability for breach to a specified amount of the direct damages incurred by the customer resulting from the breach. From time-to-time, these arrangements may also include provisions for possible liquidated damages or other financial remedies for our non-performance, or in the case of certain of our outsourced customer care and billing solutions,revenue management platforms, provisions for damages related to service level performance requirements. The service level performance requirements typically relate to system availability and timeliness of service delivery. As of March 31, 2021,2022, we believe we have adequate reserves, based on our historical experience, to cover any reasonably anticipated exposure as a result of our nonperformance for any past or current arrangements with our customers.

Indemnifications Related to Officers and the Board of Directors. We have agreed to indemnify members of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) and certain of our officers if they are named or threatened to be named as a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that they acted in such capacity. We maintain directors’ and officers’ (D&O) insurance coverage to protect against such losses. We have not historically incurred any losses related to these types of indemnifications, and are not aware of any pending or threatened actions or claims against any officer or member of our Board. As a result, we have not recorded any liabilities related to such indemnifications as of March 31, 2021.2022. In addition, as a result of the insurance policy coverage, we believe these indemnification agreements are not significant to our results of operations.

Legal Proceedings. From time-to-time, we are involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business.

7.9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

Stock Repurchase Program.

Warrants. In 2014, in conjunction with the execution of an amendment to our current agreement with Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”), we issued stock warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”) for the right to purchase up to 2.9 million shares of our common stock (the “Stock Warrants”) as an additional incentive for Comcast to convert customer accounts onto our Advanced Convergent Platform (“ACP”) based on various milestones. The Stock Warrants have a ten-year term and an exercise price of $26.68$26.68 per warrant.

As of March 31, 2021, 2022, 1.0 million Stock Warrants remain issued, NaN of which were vested. The remaining unvested Stock Warrants will be accounted for as a customer contract cost asset once the performance conditions necessary for vesting are considered probable.

Operating Results. Operating income for the first quarter of 20212022 was $16.4 million, or a 6.2% operating margin percentage, compared to $31.4 million, or a 12.4% operating margin percentage compared to $33.2 million, or a 13.5% operating margin percentage for the first quarter of 2020, with2021. The decrease in operating income is mainly a result of a $12.0 million increase in restructuring and reorganization charges related primarily to real estate restructurings in the decrease mainly attributed to increased employee-related costs.  The first quarter of 2020 operating income benefited from a mark-to-market reduction in a compensation liability that resulted from the unexpected and steep decline in the stock market that quarter.  2022.

See our 20202021 10-K for additional discussion of our business relationships and contractual terms with Comcast and Charter.

Charter.  Charter is one of our significant customers representing approximately 21% of our revenue.  Our agreement with Charter runs through December 31, 2021, with an option to extend the agreement for an additional one-year term. We are currently engaged in discussions with Charter regarding contract renewal terms.

Risk of Customer Concentration. We expect to continue to generate a significant percentage of our future revenue from our largest customers mentioned above. There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of total revenue are concentrated with a limited number of customers. Should a significant customer: (i) terminate or fail to renew their contracts with us, in whole or in part, for any reason; (ii) significantly reduce the number of customer accounts processed on our solutions, the price paid for our services, or the scope of services that we provide; or (iii) experience significant financial or operating difficulties, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to select appropriate accounting policies, and to make judgments and estimates affecting the application of those accounting policies. In applying our accounting policies, different business conditions or the use of different assumptions may result in materially different amounts reported in our Financial Statements.

We have identified the most critical accounting policies that affect our financial position and the results of our operations. Those critical accounting policies were determined by considering the accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. The most critical accounting policies identified relate to the following items: (i) revenue recognition; (ii) impairment assessments of long-lived assets; (iii) income taxes; and (iv) loss contingencies. These critical accounting policies, as well as our other significant accounting policies, are discussed in our 20202021 10-K.

Revenue. Total revenue for the first quarter of 20212022 was $253.1$264.4 million, a 3.1%4.5% increase when compared to $245.6$253.1 million for the first quarter of 2020.2021. This increase can be primarily attributed to the year-over-yearcontinued growth inof our revenue management solutions along with a strong quarterand the revenue generated from the businesses acquired in 2021. Approximately two-thirds of the year-over-year increase in revenue can be attributed to organic growth resulting mainly from increased professional services revenue.  revenue related to implementation projects, increased payments volume, and conversions of customer accounts onto our solutions.

The increase in cost of revenue between quartersperiods is reflective of the increase in revenue year-over-year, revenue growth, as discussed above.and can be mainly attributed to higher employee-related costs, to include the 2021 acquired businesses. Total cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021 was 52.4% and 2020 was 52.8% and 53.4%, respectively.

R&D Expense(Exclusive of Depreciation). R&D expense for the first quarter of 20212022 was $32.2$33.0 million, a 6.2%2.4% increase when compared to $30.3$32.2 million for the first quarter of 2020. This2021, with the increase in R&D expense is mainly attributed to increased employee-related costs, to include personnel and the related costs previously assigned to costdevelopment activities of revenue projects being reassigned to R&D projects.the acquired businesses. As a percentage of total revenue, R&D expense for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021 was 12.5% and 2020 was 12.7% and 12.4%, respectively.

Our R&D efforts are focused on the continued evolution of our solutions that enable service providersour customers worldwide to provide a more personalized customer experience while introducing new digital products and services. This includes the continued investment in our cloud-basedproducts and integration of the recently acquired assets into our solutions.

SG&A Expense(Exclusive of Depreciation).

The increase in SG&A expense is mainlyprimarily attributed to thean increase in employee-related costs, discussed above, and is reflective of our accelerated growth strategy, to include the SG&A costs associated with our recently acquired businesses, as we continue to pursue organic and inorganic growth opportunities. Additionally, SG&A for the first quarter of 2022 included $1.3 million of executive transition costs. Our SG&A costs as a percentage of total revenue for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021 were 21.7% and 2020 were 19.3% and 18.1%, respectively.

Cash and Liquidity. As of March 31, 2021,2022, our principal sources of liquidity included cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $205.1$187.6 million, as compared to $240.3$233.7 million as of December 31, 2020. 2021. We generally invest our excess cash balances in low-risk, short-term investments to limit our exposure to market and credit risks.

As part of our 20182021 Credit Agreement, we have a $200$450 million senior secured revolving loan facility with a syndicate of financial institutions that expires in March 2023.September 2026.

We generally have ready access to substantially all of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances, but may face limitations on moving cash out of certain foreign jurisdictions due to currency controls and potential negative economic consequences. As of March 31, 2021,2022, we had $1.9$2.1 million of cash restricted as to use primarily to collateralize outstanding letters of credit.credit included in our total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance.

Additionally, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we have $163.1 million and $186.3 million, respectively, of settlement and merchant reserve assets. These funds are held with major financial institutions and while not legally or contractually restricted, we do hold these funds in separate accounts, and classify them as restricted cash in our Statements of Cash Flows.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. We calculate our cash flows from operating activities beginning with net income, adding back the impact of non-cash items or non-operating activity (e.g., depreciation, amortization, amortization of OID, impairments, gain/loss from debt extinguishments, gains/losses from derivative liabilities upon debt conversion, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation, etc.), and then factoring in the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities. See our 20202021 10-K for a description of the primary uses and sources of our cash flows from operating activities.

Cash flows from operating activities for the first quarters of 20212022 and 2020 were negatively impacted by the timing of certain recurring key customer payments that were delayed and received subsequent to quarter-end, of approximately $26 million and $33 million for the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively.  

Additionally, cash flows from operating activities for the first quarters of 2021 and 2020 reflect the impactsimpact of the payment of the 20202021 and 20192020 year-end accrued employee incentive compensation in the first quarter subsequent to the year-end accrual for these items.

We believe the above table illustrates our ability to generate recurring quarterlyAdditionally, cash flows from our operations,operating activities for the first quarter of 2021 were negatively impacted by the timing of a certain recurring key customer payment that was delayed and the importancereceived subsequent to quarter-end, of managing our working capital items.  approximately $26 million.

Variations in our net cash provided byby/used in operating activities are generally related to the changes in our operating assets and liabilities (related mostly to fluctuations in timing at quarter-end of customer payments and changes in accrued expenses), and generally over longer periods of time, do not significantly impact our cash flows from operations.

Significant fluctuations in key operating assets and liabilities between 20212022 and 20202021 that impacted our cash flows from operating activities are as follows:

Billed Trade Accounts Receivable

Management of our billed accounts receivable is one of the primary factors in maintaining strong cash flows from operating activities. Our billed trade accounts receivable balance includes significant billings for several non-revenue items (primarily postage, sales tax, and deferred revenue items). As a result, we evaluate our performance in collecting our accounts receivable through our calculation of days billings outstanding (“DBO”) rather than a typical days sales outstanding (“DSO”) calculation.

Our gross and net billed trade accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts receivable (“Allowance”) as of the end of the indicated quarterly periods, and the related DBOs for the quarters then ended, are as follows (in thousands, except DBOs):

As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, approximately 94% and 2020, approximately 97% and 95%, respectively, of our billed accounts receivable balance were less than 60 days past due.

The higher than normal DBO metric for the first quarters of 2021 and 2020 can be directly attributed to the delay of certain recurring key customer payments, as noted above.  We may experience future adverse impacts to our DBOs if we experienceand when customer payment delays.delays occur. However, these recurring monthly payments that cross a reporting period-end do not raise any collectability concerns, as payment is generally received subsequent to quarter-end. All other changes in our gross and net billed accounts receivable reflect the normal fluctuations in the timing of customer payments at quarter-end, as evidenced by our relatively consistent DBO metric.

As a global provider of softwaresolutions and professional services, a portion of our accounts receivable balance relates to international customers. This diversity in the geographic composition of our customer base may adversely impact our DBOs as longer billing cycles (i.e., billing terms and cash collection cycles) are an inherent characteristic of international software and professional services transactions. For example, our ability to invoice and collect arrangement fees may be dependent upon, among other things: (i) the completion of various customer administrative matters, local country billing protocols and processes (including local cultural differences), and non-customer administrative matters; (ii) meeting certain contractual invoicing milestones; or (iii) the overall project status in certain situations in which we act as a subcontractor to another vendor on a project.project; or (iv) due to currency controls in certain foreign jurisdictions.

Common Stock Repurchases. We have made repurchases of our common stock in the past under our Stock Repurchase Program. As of March 31, 2022, we had 3.3 million shares authorized for repurchase remaining under our Stock Repurchase Program. Our 2021 Credit Agreement places certain limitations on our ability to repurchase our common stock.

���

Common Stock Repurchases.  We have made repurchases of our common stock in the past under our Stock Repurchase Program.  As of March 31, 2021, we had 4.2 million shares authorized for repurchase remaining under our Stock Repurchase Program.  Our 2018 Credit Agreement may place certain limitations on our ability to repurchase our common stock.

Under our Stock Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including through an accelerated stock repurchase plan or under a SEC Rule 10b5-1 plan. The actual timing and amount of share repurchases are dependent on the current market conditions and other business-related factors. Our common stock repurchases are discussed in more detail in Note 79 to our Financial Statements.

During the first quarter of 2021,2022, we repurchased approximately 142,000266,000 shares of our common stock for $6.5$16.0 million (weighted-average price of $45.94$60.13 per share).

Our acquisitions are discussed in more detail in Note 5 to our Financial Statements. As part of our growth strategy, we are continually evaluating potential business and/or asset acquisitions and investments in market share expansion with our existing and potential new customers and expansion into verticals outside the global communications market.

Capital Expenditures. During the first quarter of 2022, we spent $10.4 million on capital expenditures. As of March 31, 2022, we had committed to purchase approximately $10 million of equipment.
Stock Warrants.We have issued Stock Warrants with an exercise price of $26.68 per warrant to Comcast as an incentive for Comcast to convert new customer accounts to ACP. Once vested, Comcast may exercise the Stock Warrants and elect either physical delivery of common shares or net share settlement (cashless exercise). Alternatively, the exercise of the Stock Warrants may be settled with cash based solely on our approval, or if Comcast were to beneficially own or control in excess of 19.99% of the common stock or voting of the Company.

Long-Term Debt.  As of March 31, 2021, our long-term debt consisted of the following: (i) 2016 Convertible Notes with a par value of $230.0 million; and (ii) 2018 Credit Agreement with term loan borrowings of $123.8 million.  

2016 Convertible Notes

Our 2016 Convertible Notes will be convertible at

Long-Term Debt. As of March 31, 2022, our long-term debt consisted of our 2021 Credit Agreement which includes: (i) outstanding 2021 Term Loan borrowings of $146.3 million; and (ii) outstanding 2021 Revolver borrowings of $245.0 million. During the optionfirst quarter of the note holders during the period2022, we borrowed $245.0 million from December 15,our 2021 Revolver to the close of business on the day immediately preceding March 15, 2022, subject to an observation holding period of 40 days.  For notes presented during this time frame, the settlement amount will be equal to the sum of the daily settlement amounts for each of the following 40 consecutive trading days during the related observation period.  As a result, we have reclassifiedsettle our 2016 Convertible Notes to a current liability in our Balance Sheet. If nonefor $242.3 million. As of the notes are converted, called, or put, our debt service cash outlay duringMarch 31, 2022, there were no remaining 2016 Convertible Notes outstanding.

Our 2021 Credit Agreement mandatory repayments for the next twelve months for the 2016 Convertible Notes will be $9.8are $7.5 million of interest payments.

2018 Credit Agreement

Our 2018 Credit Agreement mandatory repayments and the cash interest expense (based upon then current interest rates) for the next twelve months2021 Term Loan and 2021 Revolver (assuming no further amounts are borrowed and the amount is $15.0not paid down) are $3.5 million and $2.0$5.9 million, respectively. We have the ability to make prepayments on our 20182021 Credit Agreement without penalty.  Agreement.

Our long-term debt obligations are discussed in more detail in Note 4 to our Financial Statements.

In summary, we expect to continue to have material needs for capital resources going forward, as noted above. We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balances and our 20182021 Revolver, together with cash expected to be generated in the future from our current operating activities, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital resource requirements for at least the next twelve months. We also believe we could obtain additional capital through other debt sources which may be available to us if deemed appropriate.

Item 3. Quantitative and QualitativeQualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. As of March 31, 2021,2022, we are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates, fluctuations and changes in the market value of our cash equivalents and short-term investments, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We have not historically entered into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Long-Term Debt. The interest rate on our 2016 Convertible Notes is fixed, and thus, as it relates to our convertible debt borrowings, we are not exposed to changes in interest rates.

The interest rates on our 20182021 Credit Agreement are based upon an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin, or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin. See Note 4 to our Financial Statements for further details of our long-term debt.

A hypothetical adverse change of 10% in the March 31, 20212022 adjusted LIBOR rate would not have had a material impact upon our results of operations.

25


Market Risk

Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments. Our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 were $150.6$181.5 million and $188.7$205.6 million, respectively. Certain of our cash balances are “swept”swept into overnight money market accounts on a daily basis, and at times, any excess funds are invested in low-risk, somewhat longer term, cash equivalent instruments and short-term investments. Our cash equivalents are invested primarily in institutional money market funds, commercial paper, and time deposits held at major banks. We have minimal market risk for our cash and cash equivalents due to the relatively short maturities of the instruments.

Our short-term investments as of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 were $54.5$6.1 million and $51.6$28.0 million, respectively. Currently, we utilize short-term investments as a means to invest our excess cash only in the U.S. The day-to-day management of our short-term investments is performed by a large financial institution in the U.S., using strict and formal investment guidelines approved by our Board. Under these guidelines, short-term investments are limited to certain acceptable investments with: (i) a maximum maturity; (ii) a maximum concentration and diversification; and (iii) a minimum acceptable credit quality. At this time, we believe we have minimal liquidity risk associated with the short-term investments included in our portfolio.

23


Settlement and Merchant Reserve Assets. We are exposed to market risk associated with cash held on behalf of our customersmerchants related to our payment processing services. As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we had $108.6$163.1 million and $149.8$186.3 million, respectively, of cash collected on behalf of our customers which is held for an established holding period until settlement with the customer.merchants. The holding period is generally one to four business days depending on the payment model and contractual terms with the customer.  During the holding period, cash is held in accounts with various major financial institutions in the U.S. and Canada in an amount equal to at least 100% of the aggregate amount owed to our customers.merchants. These balances can significantly fluctuate between periods due to activity at the end of the period and the day in which the period ends.

Long-Term Debt.  The fair value of our convertible debt is exposed to market risk.  We do not carry our convertible debt at fair value but present the fair value for disclosure purposes (see Note 2 to our Financial Statements).  Generally, the fair value of our convertible debt is impacted by changes in interest rates and changes in the price and volatility of our common stock.  As of March 31, 2021, the fair value of the 2016 Convertible Notes was estimated at $243.5 million, using quoted market prices.  

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Due to foreign operations around the world, our balance sheet and income statement are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk due to the fluctuations in the value of currencies in which we conduct business. While we attempt to maximize natural hedges by incurring expenses in the same currency in which we contract revenue, the related expenses for that revenue could be in one or more differing currencies than the revenue stream.

During the first quarter of 2021,2022, we generated approximately 88%86% of our revenue in U.S. dollars. We expect that, in the foreseeable future, we will continue to generate a very large percentage of our revenue in U.S. dollars.

As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the carrying amounts of our monetary assets and monetary liabilities on the books of our non-U.S. subsidiaries in currencies denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of those non-U.S. subsidiaries are as follows (in thousands, in U.S. dollar equivalents):
