("Legacy Billtrust"), utilizing the trade name Billtrust (the "Company” or “Billtrust”), was incorporated on September 4, 2001 in the State of Delaware and maintains its headquarters in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, with additional offices or print facilities in Colorado, Illinois, and California.

The Company provides a comprehensive suite of order to cashorder-to-cash software as a service ("SaaS") solutions with integrated payments, including credit and collections, invoice presentment, and cash application services to its customers, primarily based in North America, but with global operations. In addition, Billtrust founded the business payments network ("BPN") in its strategic relationship with VISA, which combines remittance data with B2Bbusiness-to-business ("B2B") payments and facilitates straight-through payment processing. Billtrust serves businesses across both business-to-business and business-to-consumer segments. Billtrust integrates the key areas of the order-to-cash process: credit decisioning, e-commerce solutions, bill presentment, bill payment, cash application, and collections workflow management, helping its clients connect with their customers and cash.

Business Combination Agreement

On October 18, 2020, as amended on December 13, 2020, South Mountain Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation (“South Mountain”), BT Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of South Mountain (“First Merger Sub”), BT Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of South Mountain (“Second Merger Sub”), and the Company ("Billtrust"), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”(“BCA”), pursuant to which (i) First Merger Sub was merged with and into Billtrust (the “First Merger”), with Billtrust surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of South Mountain (the “Surviving(“Surviving Corporation”), and (ii) the Surviving Corporation merged with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger”, and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Second Merger Sub surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of South Mountain (such Mergers, collectively with the other transactions described in the BCA, the “Business Combination”).

In connection with the execution of the BCA,Business Combination, on October 18, 2020, South Mountain entered into separate subscription agreements (the “Subscription(“Subscription Agreements”) with a number of investors (the “PIPE(“PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, and South Mountain has sold to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of South Mountain Class A Common Stock,common stock, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and at an aggregate purchase price of $200$200.0 million, in a private placement (the “PIPE(“PIPE Financing”).

As noteddescribed in Note 4,3 - Business Combination, the Business Combination and PIPE Financing closed on January 12, 2021.2021 (the "Closing Date"). The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with US GAAP.the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Under this method of accounting, South Mountain iswas treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. For accounting purposes, Billtrust is deemed to bewas the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction has beenwas treated as a recapitalization of Billtrust (i.e., a capital transaction involving the issuance of stock by South Mountain for the stock of Billtrust). Accordingly, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Billtrust became the historical financial statements of "New Billtrust", which was renamed BTRS Holdings Inc., and South Mountain’s assets, liabilities, and results of operations were consolidated with Billtrust beginning on the acquisition date.Closing Date.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required for complete financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes should be read in
10


conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (as filed with the SEC on March 24, 2021), the audited financial statements included in the Company's Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K (as filed with the SEC on March 24, 2021), and the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as filed with the SEC on June 28, 2021). Since the date of these filings, there have been no changes or updates to the Company's significant accounting policies, other than those described below.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for periods ended prior to January 12, 2021 reflect Legacy Billtrust, which was a single entity, and its capital structure prior to the Business Combination, and do not reflect New Billtrust or South Mountain.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, and cash flows as of the dates and for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 may not be indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 or any other period. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP on an annual reporting basis.
The Company's fiscal year is the twelve-month period from January 1 through December 31. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to a "year" mean the Company's fiscal year.
Reclassification
During the second quarter of 2021, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were updated to remove restricted cash as a standalone line item and combine it with other current assets or other assets. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, which resulted in approximately $3.3 million of restricted cash being reclassified into other current assets for the year ended December 31, 2020. The reclassification had no impact on the amount of total current assets or total assets previously reported.
Impact of COVID-19
In March 2020, the United States declared a State of National Emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, the Company has continued to operate despite the disruption to many of our customer's operations. The pandemic has served to increase awareness and urgency around accelerating the digital transformation of accounts receivable through the Company's products and platforms. While this helped avoid significant business, bookings, or revenue disruptions thus far, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, the pandemic did cause a decrease in the Company's transaction fee revenues for certain customers. This was a result of the pandemic's broader economic impact on some companies in heavily transaction based industries and the related slowing of their business activity. These revenues started rebounding in the second half of 2020 and into 2021, which the Company expects to continue.
We are unable to predict the full impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our future results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration, severity, and spread of the virus, actions that may be taken by government authorities, the impact to our customers, employees, and suppliers, and various other factors beyond our knowledge and control. The pandemic has caused us to modify our business practices, such as employee travel restrictions, cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences, and requiring employees to work remotely. We may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees and customers. The Company has previously implemented certain cost savings measures, some of which have ended, such as reducing employee incentive compensation programs, and others which are continuing, such as restricted travel and reduced discretionary spend in certain areas. The Company will continue to monitor the situation and adjust its response accordingly.
On March 27, 2020, Congress enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property, and appropriation of funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program. The Company, through its payroll provider, elected to defer employer side social security payments effective as of April 2020. During 2021, the Company expects to pay the entire amount due for 2020 of approximately $2.3 million, which is included in accrued expenses and other in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Change in Filing Status from Emerging Growth Company
Billtrust currently qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”), under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”), which allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time that the Company is not considered to be an EGC. Based on the closing share price and the market value of the Company's common stock held by non-affiliates as of June 30, 2021, the Company will be deemed a large accelerated filer as of December 31, 2021. As a result, beginning with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2021, the Company will not be able to rely on the extended transition period noted above and will be required to adopt all new accounting pronouncements within the same time periods as public companies. The effect of the loss of ECG status and impact on the adoption of new accounting pronouncements is discussed further below.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosure about contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, recoverability of deferred tax assets, valuation of acquired assets and liabilities, ongoing impairment reviews of goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, contingent consideration, and stock based compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends, market specific information, or other relevant factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Retroactive Adjustments Related to Reverse Recapitalization

On May 14, 2021, the Company filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, with such interim financial statements reflecting the reverse recapitalization of Billtrust (as described in
Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business and Note 3 - Business Combination) as if it had occurred as of the beginning of each period presented. As a result, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, the Company has retroactively adjusted its financial statements and related notes herein, as of the year ended December 31, 2020, and as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 to reflect the aforementioned reverse recapitalization as follows:
Within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, redeemable convertible preferred stock in mezzanine equity was converted into Class 1 and 2 common stock and classified in permanent equity.
The Statements of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Deficit were renamed the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.
Within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity:
Redeemable convertible preferred stock, common stock, share activity, and per share amounts were converted to Class 1 and 2 common stock at an exchange ratio of 7.2282662 shares per share of Legacy Billtrust common stock (the "Conversion Rate").
Preferred stock dividends and accretion of preferred stock to redemption value for the six months ended June 30, 2020 in the amount $4.3 million has been reclassified from redeemable convertible preferred stock to accumulated deficit.
Within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, net loss per share and the weighted average number of shares used to compute net loss per share were adjusted based on the converted number of Class 1 and 2 common shares.
Within the Notes to Financial Statements:
In Note 6 - Loss Per Share, all per share and share amounts for the 2020 periods presented were adjusted based on (1) the converted number of Class 1 and 2 common shares, and (2) the removal of the preferred stock dividends and accretion to redemption value.
In Note 7 - Stockholders' Equity and Stock-Based Compensation, stock options outstanding at December 31, 2020 and the weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the six

Except as otherwise noted, the financial statements and related notes included herein have not been adjusted.
Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its deposits of cash, and cash equivalent balances,equivalents, restricted cash, and customer funds with high-credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s cashinstitutions and cash equivalentthe amounts of these balances restricted cash and customer funds may exceed federally insured limits. The Company’s accounts receivable are reported in the accompanyingCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheets net of allowances for uncollectible accounts. The Company believes that the concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of companies and diverse industries comprising theits customer base. On-going credit evaluations are performed, generally with a focus on new customers or customers with whom the Company has no prior collections history, and collateral is generally not required. The Company maintains reserves for potential losses based on customer specific situations as well as on historic experience and such losses, in the aggregate, have not exceeded management’s expectations. As of March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the allowances for uncollectible accounts were $0.3 million and for$0.4 million, respectively.
For the for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020, there were no customers that individuallyindividual customer accounted for 10% or greater of accounts receivable or total revenues, respectively.

Significant Accounting Policies

Billtrust’s significant accounting policies are discussed in the audited financial statements included in the Company's Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 24, 2021.

Emerging Growth Company

As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time the Company is not considered to be an EGC. The adoption dates are discussed below to reflect this election.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for periods ended prior to January 12, 2021 reflect Billtrust and its capital structure prior to the Business Combination, and do not reflect New Billtrust or SMMC.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including certain notes required by US GAAP on an annual reporting basis. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other period.

COVID-19
In March 2020, the United States (U.S.) declared a State of National Emergency due to the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, many jurisdictions in the U.S. have limited, and are considering to further limit, social mobility and gathering. Many business establishments have closed due to restrictions imposed by the government and many governmental authorities have closed most public establishments. Some of our customers have been, and may continue to be, negatively impacted by the shelter-in-place and other similar state and local orders, the closure of manufacturing sites and country borders, and the increase in unemployment. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences), all of our employees are currently working remotely, and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, partners, and customers. The extent of this business disruption on our operational and financial performance will depend on these developments and the duration and spread of the outbreak, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. The Company has previously implemented certain cost savings measures, some of which have ended and others are continuing, such as restricted travel and reduced discretionary spend in certain areas and will continue to monitor and adjust accordingly.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.” The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property, and appropriate of funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program. The Company, through its outsourced payroll provider, has elected to defer employer side social security payments effective as of April 2020, and expects to pay in the next year, the amount due for 2020 of approximately $2,309, which is included in Accrued Expenses and Other in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. We continue to assess the impact that COVID-19 may have on our business. Although we sawno individual customer had a decline in certain transaction revenues during the second quarterbalance of 2020, we are unable to determine the ultimate impact that the CARES Act, and/10% or COVID-19 will have on our future financial condition, resultsgreater of operations, or liquidity.accounts receivable.

UsePresentation of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, recoverability of deferred tax assets, determining the fair value associated with acquired assets and liabilities including deferred revenue, intangible asset and goodwill impairment, contingent consideration liabilities, stock based compensation and certain other of the Company’s accrued liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends, and other market specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions.

Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, the global economy and financial markets have been disrupted and there is a significant amount of uncertainty about the length and severity of the consequences caused by the pandemic. The Company has considered information available to it as of the date of issuance of these financial statements and has not experienced any significant impact to its estimates and assumptions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. On an ongoing basis, the Company will continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 impact on its estimates and assumptions.

Revenue Recognition

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following five-step framework:
1.Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
2.Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
3.Determination of the transaction price;
4.Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
5.Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation

Restricted Cash
The following is a description of principal activitiestable summarizes the period ending cash and cash equivalents from which the Company generates revenue,Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as well as a further breakdown of the components of subscription, transaction and services revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:


20212020
Subscription and transaction fees$30,183 $23,125 
Services and other2,936 1,399 
Subscription, transaction and services$33,119 $24,524 

Subscription and Transaction Fee Revenue
Subscription and transaction fee revenue is derived primarily from a hosted software as a service (SaaS) platform that enables billings and payment processing on behalf of customers. The Company’s services are billed on a subscription basis monthly, quarterly or annually. Transaction fees for certain services are billed monthly basedpresented on the volume of items processed each month at a contractual rate per item processed.

Hosted solutions are provided without licensing perpetual rights to the software. The hosted solutions are integral to the overall service arrangement and are billed as a subscription fee as part of the overall service agreement with the customer. Subscription fees from hosted solutions are recognized monthly over the customer agreement term beginning on the date the Company’s solution is made available to the customer.

Transaction revenue is recognized concurrent with processing of the related transactions by the Company, which is when revenue is earned. The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the Company performs. Transaction fees include per-item processing fees charged at contracted rates based on the number of invoices delivered or payments processed.

Services

Fees associated with upfront services represent a material right under ASC 606 as customers do not incur such fees in subsequent contract terms, and therefore they are considered to be at a discount compared to the initial contract period. Any revenues related to upfront implementation services for new customers or new products for existing customers are recognized ratably over the estimated period of the customer relationship, which is estimated to be five years other than for customer relationships from acquisitions which range from two to four years. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and deferred revenues or revenues, depending on when the services are fulfilled.
In addition to implementation fees, professional services fees also include consulting services provided to customers on a time and materials basis. Revenues from consulting services are recognized as the services are completed based on their standalone value, and costs associated with short term services contracts are deferred and recognized with the corresponding revenue when services are completed.

Significant Judgements

The Company determines standalone selling price ("SSP") for all material performance obligations using observable inputs, such asother assets in the price of subsequent years of the contract, standalone sales and historical contract pricing. Some customers have the option to purchase additional subscription or transaction services at a stated price. These options are evaluated on a case-by-case basis but generally do not provide a material right as they are priced within a range of prices provided to other customers for the same products and, as such, would not result in a separate performance obligation.

When the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, i.e. Implementation services, the Company uses judgment to determine whether the contract includes a significant financing component requiring adjustment to the transaction price. Various factors are considered in this determination including the duration of the contract, payment terms, and other circumstances. Generally, the Company determined that contracts related to upfront Implement services do not include a significant financing component. The Company applies the practical expedient for instances where, at contract inception, the expected timing difference between when promised goods or services are transferred and associated payment will be one year or less.

Reimbursable costs
The Company records reimbursable costs, consisting of postage on a gross basis, since the goods or services giving rise to the reimbursable costs do not transfer a good or service to the customer. Rather, the goods or services are used or consumed by the Company in fulfilling its performance obligation to the customer. Corresponding expenses are recorded on an accrual basis and the costs are allocated based on specific types of postage to customers, but cannot specifically identify each postage invoice to specific customers. Because the cost of such revenue is equal to the revenue, it does not impact loss from operations or net loss.

Sales tax and other

The Company accounts for sales and other related taxes, as well as expenses associated with interchange on credit card transactions from third party card issuers or financial institutions which are a pass through cost, on a net basis, excluding such amounts from revenue. For expenses associated with interchange transactions, the Company has determined that it is acting as an agent with respect to these payment authorization services, based on the following factors: (1) the Company has no discretion over which card issuing bank will be used to process a transaction and is unable to direct the activity of the merchant to another card issuing bank, and (2) interchange and card network rates are pre-established by the card issuers or financial institutions, and the Company has no latitude in determining these fees. Therefore, revenue allocated to the payment authorization performance obligation is presented net of interchange and card network fees paid to the card issuing banks and financial institutions, respectively, for all periods presented.

Deferred Revenue
Amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue earned are recorded as deferred revenue liability. Deferred revenue as of March 31, 2021 andCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2020 relates primarily to implementation fees for new customers or new services, which are being recognized ratably over the estimated term of the customer relationship, which is generally five years for the Company's core billing and payments andrestricted cash application services, and two to four years for other services related to acquisitions in 2018 and 2019; as well as fees received to store billing data and annual maintenance service agreements, which are both being recognized ratably over the term of the service period.

Deferred Commissions

Commissions are recorded when earned and are included as a component of sales and marketing expense. Commission costs can be associated specifically with subscription and professional services arrangements. Commissions earned by the Company’s sales personnel are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Commission costs are deferred and then amortized over a period of benefit of four to five years. The Company determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration its past experience with customers and the average customer life of acquired customers (four years, compared to five years for all remaining customers), future cash flows expected from customers, industry peers and other available information.

Commissions are earned by sales personnel upon the execution of the sales contract by the customer. Substantially all sales commissions are generally paid at one of three points: (i) upon execution of a customer contract, (ii) when a customer completes implementation and training processes or commences usage based volume, or (iii) after a period of time from three to twelve months thereafter. Commissions associated with subscription-based arrangements are typically earned when a customer order is received and when the customer is billed for the underlying contractual period. Commissions associated with professional services are typically earned in the month that services are rendered.

The Company capitalized commission costs of $712 and amortized $747 to sales and marketing expense in the accompanying statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2021, in addition to commissions which were expensed as incurred related to the achievement of quotas or other performance obligations. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company had approximately $2,490 and $2,431 of current deferred commissions for amounts expected to be recognized in the next 12 months, $5,139 and $5,233 of noncurrent deferred commissions for amounts expected to be recognized thereafter.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of these instruments approximates their fair value. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s cash equivalents consisted primarily of money market funds.

Short-term investments

The Company’s investments at March 31, 2021 consist of certificates of deposit with a financial institution, with a maturity date of twenty four months or less at the time of purchase. Management determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Investments are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, with related amortization is included in interest income, although no such amounts were held forother current assets in the period ended March 31, 2021. Interest on securities classified as held-to-maturityCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The short-term or long-term classification is includeddetermined in interest income.

Investments are impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. The Company evaluates an investment for impairment by consideringaccordance with the length of time and extent to which market value has been less than cost or amortized cost, the financial condition and near-term prospectsexpiration of the issuer as well as specific events or circumstances that may influence the operationsunderlying letters of the issuer and the Company’s intent to sell the security or the likelihood that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of the entire amortized cost. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded to other income (expense) and a new costs basis in the investment is established.

The Company uses the specific identification method to determine the cost basis of securities sold. The carrying value of these instruments approximates their fair value.

Customer Funds
In connection with providing electronic invoice presentment and payment facilitation services for its customers, the Company may receive client funds via Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) payment to the Company’s cash accounts at its contracted financial institution. The contractual agreements with the Company’s customers stipulate a period of up to three days for processing ACH returns and obligate the customer to reimburse the Company for returned payments. Timing differences in customer deposits into and disbursements from the Company’s separate cash account results in a balance of funds to be remitted to customers, which is reflected as customer funds payable in the accompanying Balance Sheets.

Customer Postage Deposits
The Company requires its customers to maintain a minimum level of postage deposits on account. Customer postage deposits are presented as a liability in the accompanying Balance Sheets and generally do not change unless customer postage usage significantly changes, new customers are added, or existing customers cancel services.

Accrued Expenses and Other
Accrued expenses includes items such as vendor invoices which have not been received as well as other payroll, bonus and related items, which are expected to be paid in the subsequent twelve months.

Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1. Offering costs of $2,845 were accrued and deferred as of December 31, 2020 and consisted principally of professional, printing, filing, regulatory and other costs that were charged to additional paid-in capital upon completion of the business combination.

Earnout Consideration

Following the closing of the Merger, holders of Billtrust common stock (including all redeemable preferred shareholders whose shares were converted into common stock at the closing of the Merger) and holders of stock options and restricted stock pursuant to the 2003 Plan and the 2014 Plan (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement, as amended)Agreement) had the contingent right to receive, in the aggregate, up to 12,000,000 shares of Common StockClass 1 common stock if, from the closing of the Merger until the fifth anniversary thereof, the average closing price of BTRS Holdings Inc. Common Stock exceeds certain thresholds. The first issuance of 6,000,000 earnout shares is based on the volume-weighted average price of Common Stock exceeding $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “First Earnout”). The second issuance of 6,000,000 earnout shares is based on the volume weighted average price of Common Stock exceeding $15.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “Second Earnout”) (collectively and together with the First Earnout, the "Earnout Shares").

Subsequent to the closing of the Merger and in the earnout pricefirst quarter of Common stock was met, and the2021, 10,917,736 shares of Class 1 and Class 2 common stock were issued associated with attainment of the First Earnout and the Second Earnout thresholds were issued in the first quarter of 2021.

The difference in the Earnout Shares issued and the aggregate amounts defined in the Merger Agreement above areis primarily attributable to 836,208 unissued shares reserved for future issuance to holders of unvested options in the form of restricted stock units or RSU's (the "Earnout RSU's"), which are subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the underlying unvested stock options, and are not replacement awards. Additionally, approximately 246,056 shares of common stock were withheld from employees to satisfy the mandatory tax withholding requirements, for which the company remitted cash of $4,013$4.0 million to the appropriate tax authorities. The Company has determined that the earnout shares issued to non-employee shareholders and to holders of BTRS Holdings Inc. common stock and vested options from the 2003 Plan and 2014 Plan do not meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815-40. These earnout shares were initially measured at fair value upon closing

As of the Business Combination, using a Monte Carlo simulation (using the same assumptions as Earnout RSUs discussed below) resulting in a fair value of $16.80 per share, and recorded as a liability, along with estimated withholding taxes, of $191,095. Upon the attainment of the share price targets in the first quarter of 2021, since all earnout shares were determined to be liability classified, the earnout shares were remeasured at fair value through theClosing date, the First Earnout and Second Earnout were achieved, with a corresponding other expense of $8,246 for the increase in the fair value from the date the Business Combination closed.

Additionally, the prior holders of South Mountain stock agreed that of their existing issued and outstanding shares of Class 1 common stock, as of the Closing Date, 2.375 million2,375,000 shares of would be subject to vesting conditions based upon the same price milestones in the First Earnout (1.1875 million(1,187,500 shares) and Second Earnout (1.1875 million(1,187,500 shares) as discussed above ("Sponsor Vesting Shares").
The Company determined that the Earnout Shares issued to non-employee shareholders and to holders of BTRS Holdings Inc. common stock, vested options from the 2003 Plan and 2014 Plan, and the Sponsor Vesting Shares do not meet the criteria for equity classification under ASCAccounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815-40.

Note 4 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized; however, it is required to be tested for impairment annually, which requires assessment of the potential impairment at the reporting unit level. Testing for impairment is also required on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates it is more likely than not an impairment loss has been incurred.
17


The Company performed its annual impairment testing as of October 1, 2020 utilizing a qualitative assessment to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair values of each of its reporting units was less than their respective carrying values and concluded that no impairment existed.

Also included in accounts receivable are unbilled amounts resulting from revenue exceeding the solution and negotiated terms. In instancesamount billed to the customer, where the timingright to payment is unconditional. If the right to payment for services performed was conditional on something other than the passage of revenue recognition differstime, the unbilled amount would be recorded as a separate contract asset.

In addition, since payment is generally expected within one year from the timingtransfer of invoicing,products and services, the Company has determined thatdoes not adjust its contracts generally do not includereceivables or transaction prices for the effects of a significant financing component.

Deferred Revenue
The amountAmounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized duringare contract liabilities (referred to as deferred revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets). Deferred revenue primarily relates to implementation fees for new customers or for new services. These fees are recognized ratably over the estimated term of the customer relationship, which is five years for the Company's SaaS products, and two to four years for services sold from acquired companies, billing data storage fees, and annual maintenance services agreements.

6. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. If a financial instrument uses inputs that fall in different levels of the hierarchy, the instrument will be categorized based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value calculation. The three-tiers are defined as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;




BTRS Holdings Inc.Deferred Commissions

(Amounts in thousands, except per shareBalance Sheets. Commission costs are amortized to earnings ratably over four to five years based on the Company's experience with its customers (including initial contract term and share data)

Level 2: Inputs,renewal periods), the average customer life of acquired customers, future cash flows expected from customers, industry peers, and other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; andavailable information.

Commissions are earned by sales personnel upon the execution of a sales contract by the customer. Commissions associated with subscription-based arrangements are typically earned when a customer order is received and when the customer is billed for the underlying contractual period. Commissions associated with professional services are typically earned in the month that services are rendered. Substantially all sales commissions are generally paid at one of three points: (1) upon execution of a customer contract, (2) when a customer completes implementation and training processes or commences usage based volume, or (3) after a period of time from three to twelve months thereafter.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data requiringDuring the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company capitalized commission costs of $1.7 million and amortized $1.5 million to develop its own assumptions.

2020 Financing Agreement
On January 17, 2020, the Company entered into a Financing Agreement with TPG Specialty Lending, Inc. ("TSL") as administrative agent and lender and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells", and with TSL, the "2020 Lenders") for a $72.5 million facility, secured by substantially all the assets of the Company (the "2020 Financing Agreement"). In connection therewith, the outstanding Term Loan and Revolver under the PacWest Bank Credit Agreement of $28.3 million was paid in full along with related interest and all liens released. Existing Letters of Credit of $2,854 issued by PacWest Bank remained outstanding as of the date of the transaction and were collateralized by cash of $2,914 which will be treated as restricted cash until the underlying Letters of Credit are released.
The 2020 Financing Agreement consisted of the following facilities, all of which mature on January 17, 2025 ("Maturity Date"):

(i) an Initial Term Loan of $45.0 million, which was drawn at closing and used to pay off the PacWest Bank Credit agreement. Principal payments on the Initial Term Loan are due in equal installments of 0.25% of the initial principal amount commencing June 30, 2020 and on the last business day of each quarter thereafter, with the remaining amount due on the Maturity Date

(ii) a Delayed Draw Term Loan ("DDTL") of up to $20.0 million, which is available to draw in minimum increments through July 17, 2021, which after drawn, cannot be repaid without permanently reducing the amount available.

(iii) a Revolving Commitment facility ("Revolver") of $7.5 million, including a sub-limit of up to $4.0 million for issuing additional letters of credit. The Revolver may be repaid and re-borrowed until the Maturity Date.

The Initial Term Loan and DDTL may be prepaid from time to time by the Company. Once an amount is
28

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts in thousands, except per share and share data)

prepaid, it may not be reborrowed except for the Revolver. Prepayments are subject to a premium on the principal amount repaid of 3.0% in the first 24 months (2.25% in months 13 through 24 if a change in control occurs, as defined); 1.0% in months 25 to 36, and 0% thereafter. Mandatory prepayments are required upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined in the 2020 Financing Agreement.

In connection with the Business Combination, on January 12, 2021, the Company repaid the entire amount due under the Initial Term Loan, along with a prepayment penalty, and extinguished the 2020 Financing Agreement. In connection therewith, unamortized debt discount of $1,234 and a prepayment penalty and associated costs of $1,575 were recorded as loss on debt extinguishment in interest expense in the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Capital Leases
In current and prior years, the Company entered into several equipment leases to finance equipment purchases, under which $212 remained outstanding as of March 31, 2021. These have been accounted for as capital leases.


10. Stockholders' Equity, Warrants and Redeemable Preferred Stock
The Company issued various shares of Series A through E of preferred stock from various investors from 2006 through 2017. All of the preferred stock equity investments were recorded based on the proceeds received from the sales, which the Company considers to approximate its fair value at the date of each transaction, as agreed between the parties to the transaction. Direct costs incurred in connection with each transaction were accounted for as a reduction in the proceeds of the Preferred stock as a discount. The stock issuance costs associated with the various preferred stock investments are amortized as part of the accretion of the carrying amount of the Preferred stock to each series full redemption amount over a 5-year period from each issuance date, pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 480-10.

Public Warrants
In connection with the Business Combination, Billtrust assumed the publicly traded warrants ("Public Warrants") that had previously been issued by South Mountain. The Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement that was declared effective in February 2021 covering the issuance of the shares of Class 1 common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. Notwithstanding the above, if our Class 1 common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use our reasonable best efforts to qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

•    in whole and not in part;
•    at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
•    upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and
29

BTRS Holdings Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts in thousands, except per share and share data)

•    if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

The Company determined 1) the Public Warrants meet the definition of a derivative pursuant to ASC 815 2) the Public Warrants are indexed to the Company’s common stock pursuant to ASC 815-40-15-7, and 3) the Public Warrants meet all other criteria for equity classification pursuant to ASC 815-40. Therefore, the Public Warrants are accounted for within stockholders' equity as a component of additional paid-in capital as of the Merger date. As part of this assessment, it was concluded only events that would constitute a fundamental change of ownership could require the Company to settle the warrants for cash.

11. Incentive Compensation Plans
Incentive Compensation Plans
The Company adopted the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2003 Plan"). The 2003 Plan provides for the granting of stock-based awards, including options and restricted stock to its employees, directors, advisers and consultants. In 2014, the 2003 Plan expired and the Company adopted the 2014 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2014 Plan"). In connection with the Business Combination, the 2003 Plan and 2014 Plans were frozen and no further grants will be made pursuant to those plans, although all outstanding options were converted to options of the Company using the Conversion Rate applied to the number of options and original exercise price, and continue to vest based upon their original terms.

As part of the Business Combination, the shareholders of the Company adopted the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan") and the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2020 ESPP"). The shareholders and board of directors authorized the issuance of up to 14,526,237 shares of common stock to be granted pursuant to the 2020 Plan in the form of options, restricted stock, RSU's, stock appreciation rights, performance awards or other awards. Additionally, the shareholders and board of directors authorized the issuance of 1,452,623 shares of common stock pursuant to the 2020 ESPP. Such aggregate number of shares of common stock subject to the 2020 Plan and the 2020 ESPP will automatically increase on January 1 of each year for a period of ten years commencing on January 1, 2022 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2031, in an amount equal to 4 percent (for the 2020 Plan) and 1 percent (for the ESPP) of the total number of shares of the Company’s class 1 and class 2 common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year; provided, however that the Board may act prior to January 1st of a given year to provide that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of common stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, 0 shares were granted or issued pursuant to the 2020 ESPP, but the Company granted an aggregate of 8,114,196 stock options (including 462,596 under the 2014 Plan and 7,651,600 under the 2020 Plan), with weighted average exercise prices of $16.74 per share. The determination of the fair value of the options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock41.56% - 41.62%39.44% - 39.93%
Expected life of option5.5 years6.9 years

The weighted average grant-date fair value of the options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $6.52 per option.

As of March 31, 2021, there was approximately $41,744 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.2 years. At March 31, 2021, an aggregate of 8,040,902 shares were authorized for future grants under the Company’s 2020 Plan.

The Company included stock compensation expense related to all of the Company’s stock option awards in various expense categories for the for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, as follows:

20212020
Cost of subscription, transaction and other revenue$443 $33

Restricted Stock Units
In connection with the Business Combination, and authorized as part of the 2020 Plan, the Company may issue RSUs to certain employees and nonemployee board members. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company granted an aggregate of 836,208 RSUs with a weighted grant-date fair value of $16.80 per unit in connection with the First Earnout and the Second Earnout (the "Earnout RSUs"), as further discussed in. The fair value of the RSUs was estimated based upon the market closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Earnout RSUs vest over the requisite service period, which range between 1 month and 4 years from the date of grant, subject to the continued employment of the employees and services of the nonemployee board members.

As of March 31, 2021, the total unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to the unvested RSUs was $12,415, which the Company expects to amortize over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years.

12. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 pertains primarily to tax amortization of indefinite-lived asset and state income taxes.

Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that may be used to offset federal taxable income and federal tax liabilities when a corporation has undergone significant changes in its ownership. The Company is evaluating the ownership change as a result of the Business Combination to determine if there is any impact on utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
The Company rents its facilities and some equipment under operating and capital lease agreements. The capital leases have stated or implied interest rates between 5% and 10.6% and maturity dates through April 2026. The equipment financed under the capital leases serves as collateral, and certain leases contain casualty loss values if the equipment is not returned in working order at the end of the lease term.

In August 2017, the Company entered into a 15 years, 6 months lease agreement, as amended, with a landlord for a new Company headquarters that consists of 88,759 square feet of office space, located in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. The Company determined that the lease qualifies for treatment as an operating lease pursuant to ASC 840. In addition, pursuant to ASC 840, the Company determined that it did not meet any of the requirements of build-to-suit lease accounting and the Company was not consideredamounts expected to be the owner of an asset during the construction period as the Company did not have substantially all of the construction period risks and the respective leasehold improvements were determined to be normal tenant improvements. The Company has incurred and capitalized approximately $5.7 million related to leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment as of December 31, 2018, associated with this new leased headquarters facility. Furthermore, as part of the lease, the landlord paid for approximately $5.8 million of costs and related improvements in 2018 to modify the existing space to meet the Company's requirements in the existing 88,759 square feet of space subject to the lease agreement, as amended. This landlord lease incentive of $5.8 million was recorded as an asset and other long term liability as of the date the lease commenced and is being amortized over the estimated life of 15 years, and the long term liability is being recognized a lease incentive and reducing rent expense over the same period of time.thereafter.

The lease contains an option to lease up to 61,000 additional square feet, starting six years, six months after lease commencement. In connection with entering into the lease, the Company issued a letter of credit under its Credit Agreement in favor of the landlord in the amount of $2,725 as an additional security deposit.

The term of this lease is 15 years, 6 months subject to early termination if (i) there is not sufficient space for expansion beyond the initial space, starting 6 years, 6 months after lease commencement, which will require an early termination payment that declines from $7.5 million at such date by $650 per year after such date, or (ii) upon advance notice by the Company, at 12 years, 6 months after lease commencement, which will require an early termination payment of $3.6 million. Additionally, the lease contains 2

extension periods of 5 years each. The lease commenced in June 2018, with a monthly lease rate (excluding taxes and operating expenses) in the initial year of $226, effective after an initial free rent period of six months. The base rent increases each year thereafter up to $281 per month in months 181 through 186 of the lease. The Company is expensing this rent on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease, including the free rent period.

Future minimum lease payments under operating and capital leases that have initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year at March 31, 2021 and expire through 2033 are as follows:

Total rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 amounted to $1,284 and $1,349 respectively.

Purchase Commitments
The Company enters into purchase commitments with certain vendors to secure pricing for paper, envelopes and similar products necessary for its operations. As of March 31, 2021, the balance remaining under such purchase orders approximated $374.

Legal Contingencies, Claims and Assessments
During the normal course of business, the Company is occasionally involved with various claims and litigation. Reserves are established in connection with such matters when a loss is probable and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated, including for indemnifications with customers or other parties as a result of contractual agreements.

At March 31, 2021, no material reserves were recorded. No reserves are established for losses which are only reasonably possible. The determination of probability and the estimation of the actual amount of any such loss is inherently unpredictable, and it is therefore possible that the eventual outcome of such claims and litigation could exceed the estimated reserves, if any. Based upon the Company’s experience, current information and applicable law, it does not believe it is reasonably possible that any proceedings or possible related claims will have a material effect on its financial statements.

The Company evaluates the operating performancerecoverability of its segments based on financial measures such as revenue, cost of revenue,deferred commissions at each balance sheet date and gross profit.there were no impairments recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.

Print – The Print segment is primarily responsible for printing customer invoices and optimizing the amount of time and costs associated with billing customers via mail.

Software and Payments – The Software and Payments segment primarily operates using software and cloud based services, optimizes the electronic invoice presentment, electronic payments, credit decisioning, collections automation, cash application and deduction management, and eCommerce of B2B customers.

Given the nature of the Company’s business, the amount of assets does not provide meaningful insight into the operating performance of the Company. As a result, the amount of the Company’s assets is not subject to segment allocation and total assets are not included within the disclosure of the Company’s segment financial information.

All of the revenues shown below in the reportable segments is revenue from external customers, there is no revenue from transactions with other operating segments.

15. Related Party Transactions

The Company has an ongoing commercial relationship with a customer, who has an executive who is also on the Company's board of directors, which purchases certain of the Company’s services. This related party customer generated total revenues of approximately $70 and $77 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company has several agreements with a portfolio company of one of the Company’s preferred shareholders who also has a representative on the Company's board of directors ("Portfolio Company"). The Company incurred expenses to the Portfolio Company of approximately $48 and $16 related to these agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Additionally, the same customer generated revenues of $40 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.


16. Loss per Share

Our basic and diluted earnings per share are computed using the two-class method in accordance with ASC 260. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines net loss (or income if applicable)(loss) per share for each class of common stock. Per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities as they do not share in losses. During periods when the Company is in a net loss position, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive given the net loss of the Company.

As a result of the Business Combination, the Company has retrospectively adjusted the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for all periods presented prior to January 12, 2021, by multiplying them by the Conversion Rate used to determine the number of common shares into which they converted.

The following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to the Class 1 and Class 2 common stockholders, which have the same rights and privileges, except for voting rights, for the for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Since the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share for all periods as the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the diluted per share calculations because they would be antidilutive, were as follows as of the dates presented, based on the underlying shares and not considering all factors that would be involved in determining the common stock equivalents:

Note 7 - Stockholders' Equity and Stock-Based Compensation
Public Warrants
In connection with the Business Combination (refer to Note 3 - Business Combination), Billtrust assumed the Public Warrants that had previously been issued by South Mountain. The Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares of Class 1 common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC that was declared effective in February 2021 covering the issuance of the shares of Class 1 common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and to maintain a current prospectus until the Public Warrants expire or are redeemed. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company's Class 1 common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act at the time of any exercise of a Public Warrant, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. In the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use its reasonable best efforts to qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. The Public Warrants expire five years after the completion of a business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem them as follows:
i.In whole and not in part;
ii.At a price of $0.01 per warrant;
iii.Upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and
iv.If, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s Class 1 common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
The Company determined (1) the Public Warrants meet the definition of a derivative pursuant to ASC 815, (2) the Public Warrants are indexed to the Company’s common stock pursuant to ASC 815-40-15-7, and (3) the Public Warrants meet all other criteria for equity classification pursuant to ASC 815-40. Therefore as of the Closing Date, the Public Warrants were accounted for within stockholders' equity as a component of additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As part of this assessment, it was concluded only events that would constitute a fundamental change of ownership could require the Company to settle the warrants for cash.
Common Stock
Each share of Class 1 common stock has the right to one vote. The holders of the common stock are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and if/when declared by the Board of Directors. No dividends have been declared or paid since inception. Each share of Class 2 common stock is the same in all respects as Class 1 common stock, except it does not have voting rights.
21


Preferred Stock
As of June 30, 2021, the Board of Directors had authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001, of which no shares were issued and outstanding.
Equity Incentive Plans
As part of the Business Combination (refer to Note 3 - Business Combination), the Company adopted the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan") and 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2020 ESPP"). These plans are administered by the Board of Directors, which has the authority to designate participants and determine the number and type of awards to be granted and any other terms or conditions of the awards. Awards eligible to be granted include incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards, and other awards. The Board of Directors authorized up to 14,526,237 shares of common stock to be granted pursuant to the 2020 Plan and 1,452,623 shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the 2020 ESPP. Such aggregate number of shares automatically increase on January 1 of each year, for a period of ten years commencing on January 1, 2022 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2031, in an amount equal to 4 percent (for the 2020 Plan) and 1 percent (for the 2020 ESPP) of the total number of shares of the Company’s Class 1 and Class 2 common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year. The Board of Directors may act prior to January 1st of a given year to restrict the increase for such year to a lesser number of shares.
In connection with adopting the 2020 Plan and 2020 ESPP, the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2014 Incentive Compensation Plan (together, the "Prior Plans") were frozen and no further grants can be made pursuant to the Prior Plans. All outstanding options under the Prior Plans were converted to options of the Company using the Conversion Rate applied to the number of options and original exercise price. The converted options continue to vest based upon their original terms.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP")
Under the terms of the 2020 ESPP, on May 26, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the Company's ESPP offering program. With certain limitations, all Billtrust employees whose customary employment is more than 20 hours per week are eligible to participate in the ESPP.
The initial offering period, which consists of one purchase period, will commence on July 1, 2021 and run through November 30, 2021. Thereafter, each offering period will run for approximately six months, consisting of a single six month purchase period commencing on each successive June 1 and December 1. At the end of each purchase period, employee payroll contributions are used to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. Employees can elect to have up to 15% of their eligible compensation withheld for the purpose of purchasing shares under the ESPP. During an offering period, employees may decrease their contributions to, or withdraw from, the ESPP by the 20th day of the month in which the purchase period ends, and receive a refund of their accumulated payroll contributions.
During each purchase period, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be purchased by an employee is limited to the number of shares equal to $12,500 divided by the common stock closing price on the first day of a purchase period. The number of shares purchased on any single date, by any one employee, cannot exceed 5,000 shares. The purchase price for each share of common stock purchased is the lower of: (1) 85% of the closing price of the common stock on the first day of the purchase period, or (2) 85% of the closing price of the common stock on the last day of the purchase period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, 0 shares were purchased or issued pursuant to the 2020 ESPP.

In connection with the Business Combination on January 12, 2021 (refer to Note 3 - Business Combination), the Company paid the outstanding facilities in full, along with a prepayment penalty, and extinguished the 2020 Financing Agreement. In connection therewith, the unamortized debt discount of $1.2 million and a prepayment penalty and associated costs of $1.6 million were recorded in interest expense and loss on extinguishment of debt in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
The majority of the Company's leases are operating leases for its office space and print facilities.
In August 2017, the Company entered into a lease agreement for its Company headquarters consisting of 88,759 square feet of office space in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. The term of this lease is 15 years, 6 months subject to early termination if (1) there is not sufficient space for expansion beyond the initial space, starting 6 years, 6 months after lease commencement, which will require an early termination payment that declines from $7.5 million at such date by $0.7 million per year after such date, or (2) upon advance notice by the Company, at 12 years, 6 months after lease commencement, which will require an early termination payment of $3.6 million. The lease contains an option to lease up to 61,000 additional square feet, starting 6 years, 6 months after lease commencement, and also contains 2 extension periods of 5 years each. The lease commenced in June 2018 and the Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease, including the free rent period.
The Company has capitalized approximately $5.7 million of costs related to leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment associated with this office space. Additionally, in 2018 the landlord paid for approximately $5.8 million of costs and related improvements to modify the existing space to meet the Company's requirements. This lease incentive was recorded as an asset and other long term liability as of the date the lease commenced. The asset is being amortized over term of the lease, and the long term liability is being recorded as a reduction to rent expense over the same period of time.
The Company also leases equipment under capital lease agreements. The capital leases have stated or implied interest rates between 5% and 11% and maturity dates into 2024. The equipment financed under the capital leases serves as collateral, and certain leases contain casualty loss values if the equipment is not returned in working order at the end of the lease term.

Total rent expense for both the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 amounted to $2.6 million.
Purchase Commitments
The Company enters into purchase commitments with certain vendors to secure pricing for paper, envelopes, and similar products necessary for its print operations. As of June 30, 2021, the Company did not have a material balance remaining under such purchase orders.

Legal Contingencies, Claims, and Assessments
During the normal course of business, the Company is occasionally involved with various claims and litigation. Reserves are established for such matters when a loss is probable and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated, including for indemnifications with customers or other parties as a result of contractual agreements. Currently, the Company is not party to any such matters that, in the opinion of management, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. Accordingly, no material reserves have been recorded.
Note 11 - Income Taxes
The Company is subject to federal and various state income taxes in the United States. The Company’s provision for income taxes during interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, which is adjusted for certain discrete tax items during interim periods.
Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are primarily due to tax amortization of indefinite-lived assets and state income taxes.
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that may be used to offset federal taxable income and federal tax liabilities when a corporation has undergone significant changes in its ownership. The Company is evaluating the ownership change as a result of the Business Combination (refer to Note 3 - Business Combination) to determine any impact on utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.
Note 12 - Short Term Investments
The Company’s investments at June 30, 2021 consist entirely of certificates of deposit with a financial institution, and have maturity dates of twelve months or less.
Management determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Investments are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, with related amortization included in interest income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company uses the specific identification method to determine the cost basis of securities sold and realized gains or losses are included in earnings.
The Company did not have any investments classified as held-to-maturity as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
Investments are impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. The Company evaluates an investment for impairment by considering the length of time and extent to which market value has been less than cost or amortized cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, specific events or circumstances that may influence the operations of the issuer, and the Company’s intent to sell the security, or the likelihood that it will be required to sell the security, before recovery of the entire amortized cost. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new costs basis in the investment is established.
Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, funds held for customers, other current assets, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses (excluding the contingent consideration and warrants discussed below), other current liabilities, and other liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.
Additionally, the Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis including short term investments, contingent consideration, and warrants to purchase Series C preferred stock (refer to Note 3 - Business Combination). The fair values of these financial assets and liabilities have been
26


classified as Level 1, 2, or 3 within the fair value hierarchy as described in the accounting standards for fair value measurements:
Level 1: Observable inputs based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, that are observable either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quotes prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, requiring the Company to develop its own estimates and assumptions
The following tables present the Company's fair value hierarchy for its financials assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

17.(1) The acquisition of Second Phase, LLC in April 2019 included a contingent consideration arrangement that required additional consideration to be paid to the sellers annually based meeting certain recurring revenue growth and profitability targets (together, "the Financial Targets") during the three-year period beginning May 1, 2019. No amounts were paid during 2020 or 2021 for the first or second year as the Financial Targets were not met. The year three amount, if any, is expected to be finalized and paid to the sellers by the end of 2022. The range of outcomes for the year three amount cannot be estimated as the amount payable is a percentage of the growth in the Financial Targets. The fair value of the remaining contingent consideration is included in other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(2) The Company had outstanding warrants to purchase Series C stock, as described in Note 3 - Business Combination. The amount was included in other long term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not transfer assets or liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy. Additionally, there have been no changes to the valuation techniques for Level 2 or Level 3 liabilities.

Note 16 - Segment Information
The Company's operations are grouped into 2 reportable segments: (1) Print, and (2) Software and Payments. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who reviews discrete financial and other information presented for print services and software and payment services for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating the Company's financial performance.
Print – The Print segment is primarily responsible for printing customer invoices and optimizing the amount of time and costs associated with billing customers via mail.
Software and Payments – The Software and Payments segment primarily operates using software and cloud based services, optimizes electronic invoice presentment, electronic payments, credit decisioning, collections automation, cash application and deduction management, and e-commerce of B2B customers.
“All other” represents implementation, services, and other business activities which are not reviewed by CODM on regular basis.
The Company evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on revenues, cost of revenues, and gross profit. The accounting policies used by the reportable segments are the same as those used by the Company. All of the revenues shown in the reportable segments is revenue from external customers; there is no revenue from transactions with other operating segments. Segment expenses include the direct expenses of each segment's operations and exclude sales and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, interest income (expense), and certain other identified costs that the Company does not allocate to its segments for purposes of evaluating operational performance.
Given the nature of the Company’s business, the amount of assets does not provide meaningful insight into the operating performance of the Company. As a result, the Company does not identify or allocate assets by reportable segment and total assets are not included in the Company’s segment financial information.

Note 18 - Subsequent Events
The Company reviews events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed with the SEC, to identify matters that require additional disclosure or to provide additional support relative to certain estimates made in preparing the financial statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 12, 2021, and except as discussed below, the Company is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
On July 6, 2021, the Company completed an underwritten secondary offering (the "Offering") of 10,350,000 shares of the Company's Class 1 common stock at a public offering price of $12.25 per share. All of the Class 1 common stock was offered by existing shareholders. No new shares were issued and Billtrust did not receive any proceeds from the Offering. The gross proceeds from the Offering, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, was $126.8 million.
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred $0.5 million of costs directly related to the Offering, consisting principally of professional, printing, filing, regulatory and other costs. These costs were recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss since the Offering did not generate any proceeds to the Company, and therefore the costs do not qualify to be deferred or charged to additional paid-in capital under ASC 340-10-S99-1. Additionally, as no new shares were issued, the shares transacted as part of the Offering would not have impacted the number of common shares outstanding at the end of June 30, 2021 for the purposes of calculating earnings per share as of that date.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON BILLTRUST’S BUSINESS

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 11, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spreadImpact of COVID-19 include restrictions on travel, quarantines in certain areas and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. COVID-19 and actions taken to mitigate its spread have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries. Billtrust's Business
In March 2020, the United States declared a State of National Emergency due to the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, many jurisdictions in the United States have limited, and are considering to further limit, social mobility and gathering. Manypandemic. Since then, our business establishments have closed due to restrictions imposed by the government and many governmental authorities have closed most public establishments.

Billtrust’s business continueshas continued to operate despite the disruption to many of many business operations in the United States and its decision to require employees to work from remote locations.our customer's operations. The pandemic has served to increase the awareness and urgency around accelerating the digital transformation of AR through Billtrust’sour products and platform. Although Billtrust has not experiencedplatforms. While this helped us avoid significant business, bookings, or revenue disruptions thus far, from the COVID-19 pandemic, Billtrust saw its transaction fees, including those in the print segment, decrease year over year for certain customers. This decrease was seen most acutely induring the three months ended June 30, 2020. Billtrust is2020, the pandemic did cause a decrease in our transaction fee revenues for certain customers. This was a result of the pandemic's broader economic impact on some companies in heavily transaction based industries and the related slowing of their business activity. These revenues started rebounding in the second half of 2020 and into 2021, which we expect to continue.
We are unable to predict the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on itsour future results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration, severity, and spread of the pandemic, thevirus, actions that may be taken by government authorities, across the United States, the impact to itsour customers, employees, and suppliers, and various other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. These factors are beyond Billtrust’sour knowledge and control and, as a result, at this time, Billtrust is unable to predict the ultimate impact, both in terms of severity and duration, that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on Billtrust’s business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

Expansion of Relationships with Existing Customers

Billtrust’sOur revenue growth depends on itsour customers’ usage of itsour range of products. Billtrust’sOur ability to monetize transactions and payments is an important part of itsour business model. As Billtrust solveswe solve customers’ problems and becomesbecome more integrated into their daily businesses, it seeswe see an increased opportunity to cross-sell to these existing customers.

Key Performance Metrics
KEY PERFORMANCE METRICS

Billtrust monitorsWe monitor the following key metrics to help itus evaluate the health of itsour business, identify trends affecting itsour growth, formulate goals and objectives, and make strategic decisions.


Total Payment Volume

Total Payment Volume (“TPV”) is the dollar value of customer payment transactions that Billtrust processeswe process on itsour platform during a particular period. TPV is further disaggregated between “TPVmade up of the two payment categories:
TPV - Card”, which includesACH/Wire - payments made via our software, portals, gateways, and our Business Payments Network that are processed via automated clearing house ("ACH") or wire transfers.
TPV - Card - payments through our software, portals, gateways, and third party processors, and includes our Payment Facilitatorpayment facilitator (“PayFac”) customers. “TPV - ACH/Wire” includes payments made via our software, portals, gateways, and our business payments network that are processed via automated clearing house (ACH) or wire transfers.
To grow payments revenue from customers, Billtrustwe must deliver a software platformplatforms that both simplifies the process of accepting electronic payments and streamlines the reconciliation of remittance data. Additionally, as Billtrust increaseswe increase the digital delivery of invoices, it increases the probability that theythe digitally delivered invoices will be paid electronically by Billtrust’sour customers’ end customers. The more customers use the Billtrustour software platform,platforms, the more payments transactions they are likely to process through Billtrust’sour various products. This metricTPV provides an important indication of the dollar value of transactions that customers are completing on the platform and is helpful to investors as an indicator of Billtrust’sour ability to generate revenue from itsour customers.

Number of Electronic Invoices Presented

Electronic invoices presented tracksis the number of invoices sent via email, fax, or loaded to a presentment or AP portal, and includes volumes from acquired platforms, where volumes are normalized to best match equivalents on the Billtrustour platform. ItThe measure also includes invoices that are charged on a per transaction basis for certain legacy customer agreements, as well as for the current pricing model which includes subscriptionssubscription customers with defined tiers of electronic transactions for a fixed price. Electronic invoices presented is a key indicator as it contributes toof the growth of Billtrust’sour Software and Payments segment revenues, and

The increase is primarily driven by increased adoption for existing customers as well as the addition of new customers, offset by the impact of customers who terminated services.




Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to Billtrust’s results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), Billtrust believes the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating its operating performance.

Billtrust presents these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in understanding Billtrust’s financial performance from the perspective of Billtrust’s management. Billtrust believes that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing Billtrust’s core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in its industry. While we believe the use of these non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors and management in analyzing our financial performance, non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts and transactions that are included in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures do not serve as an alternative to GAAP nor do we consider our non-GAAP measures in isolation, accordingly we present non-GAAP financial measures only in connection with GAAP results. We urge investors to consider non-GAAP measures only in conjunction with our GAAP financials and to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Net Revenue (non-GAAP)

Net Revenue (non-GAAP) is defined as total revenues less reimbursable costs revenue, which is equal to subscription, transaction and services revenue. Reimbursable costs revenue consists primarily of amounts charged to customers for postage (with an offsetting amount recorded as a cost of revenue) which Billtrust does not consider internally when monitoring operating performance. Billtrust believes this measure allows investors to evaluate comparability with its past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of core operations. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to Net Revenue (non-GAAP) is total revenues.
44



Adjusted Gross Profit & Adjusted Gross Margin

Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as total revenues less total cost of revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization, plus stock based compensation expense included in total cost of revenues. Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Billtrust’s Adjusted Gross Profit divided by its total revenues less reimbursable costs revenue or Net Revenue (non-GAAP). Billtrust expects Adjusted Gross Margin to continue to improve over time to the extent that Billtrust is able to increase its scale by successfully growing revenues, both from cross-selling existing customers and upselling current and future offerings. However, Billtrust’s ability to improve Adjusted Gross Margin over time is not guaranteed and will be impacted by the factors affecting our performance discussed above and the risks outlined in the section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 titled "Risk Factors." Billtrust believes Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are useful financial measures to investors, as they eliminate the impact of certain non-cash expenses and allow a direct comparison of Billtrust’s cash operations and ongoing operating performance between periods.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Billtrust’s Net Revenue (non-GAAP), Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by Billtrust’s management to evaluate the performance of the business. Billtrust monitors and presents Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by its management to understand and evaluate its operating performance, to establish budgets and to develop operational and strategic goals for managing its business. Billtrust believes Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in its business that may otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that Billtrust excludes in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, Billtrust believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as management. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA is Net loss and comprehensive loss. Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

45


Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net loss and comprehensive loss, plus (i) provision (benefit) for income taxes, (ii) change in fair value of financial instruments and other income including the change in the fair value of liabilities (for earnout shares, warrants, contingent consideration or other items classified as liabilities), (iii) interest expense and loss on extinguishment of debt, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) stock-based compensation expense, (vi) restructuring and severance costs, (vii) acquisition and integration costs, and (viii) minus interest income. Billtrust believes that excluding the impact of these expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of its core operating performance. Billtrust believes it is useful to exclude certain non-cash charges, such as share-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP financial measures because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Billtrust’s business operations. Other income (expense), net, includes interest income, loss on asset disposals and fair value adjustments related to warrants and contingent consideration. The restructuring and severance costs are associated with realigning Billtrust’s organization or lease footprint. Acquisition and integration expenses are related to the third party costs associated with acquiring companies and internal direct costs associated with integrating their customers onto Billtrust’s platforms. These costs are not expected to recur within two years for prior acquisitions and only reoccur if Billtrust has new acquisitions. Billtrust’s last acquisition was in April 2019.

The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to Net loss and comprehensive loss, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is defined as net cash used in operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, and less capitalization of internal-use software costs. Billtrust believes free cash flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash (if any) that is available for operational expenses and investment in its business, after purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of internal-use software costs. Free cash flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures the ability to generate or use cash. Once Billtrust’s business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth. The following table presents a reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash used in operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods presented:

deferred tax assets, partially offset by income taxes related to state jurisdictions. Billtrust maintainsWe maintain a full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets for itsour U.S. federal taxes and certain state taxes as it haswe have concluded that it is not more likely than not that the deferred assets will be utilized.
Segments
Our operations are grouped into two reportable segments: (1) Print, and (2) Software and Payments. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who reviews discrete financial and other information presented for print services and software and payment services for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating the Company's financial performance. The accounting policies used by the reportable segments are the same as those used in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Print – The Print segment is primarily responsible for printing customer invoices and optimizing the amount of time and costs associated with billing customers via mail.

Software and Payments – The Software and Payments segment primarily operates using software and cloud based services, optimizes electronic invoice presentment, electronic payments, credit decisioning, collections automation, cash application and deduction management, and e-commerce of B2B customers.
We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on revenues, cost of revenues, and gross profit. All of the revenues shown in the reportable segments is revenue from external customers; there is no revenue from transactions with other operating segments. Segment expenses include the direct expenses of each segment's operations and exclude sales and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, and certain other identified costs that we do not allocate to the segments for purposes of evaluating their operational performance.
Given the nature of our business, the amount of assets does not provide meaningful insight into our operating performance. As a result, we do not identify or allocate assets by reportable segment and total assets are not included in our segment financial information.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Billtrust’sOur principal sources of liquidity are cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash flows from operations,financing activities, and, in prior years, from debt borrowings, which were repaid in connection with the Business Combination, as well assince becoming a public company, through public offerings of equity securities since we have become a public company.securities. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, Billtrustwe had cash and cash equivalents of $261.0$241.6 million and short-term investments of $25.0$45.0 million. Billtrust’sOur primary uses of liquidity are operating expenses, capital expenditures, and acquiring businesses.

Billtrust’s cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less which consist primarily of money market funds. Billtrust believes that its We believe our current cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, will beand cash flows from financing activities are sufficient to meet itsour working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report. Cash from operations could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Billtrust’s liquidity is influenced by a variety of factors, including its revenue growth rate, timing of payments and collections, development of new products, the cash paid for businesses, capital expenditures and the issuance of debt and equity securities. Billtrust’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including its pace of growth, subscription activity, retention of existing customers, the timing and extent of spend to support development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced services offerings, and the continuing market acceptance of its services. To the extent that its existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are insufficient to fund future activities or requirements to continue operating its business, Billtrust may need to raise additional funds. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, Billtrust may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to it, or at all. If Billtrust is unable to raise additional capital when desired, its business, operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Cash used in operating activities increased by $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to higher net losses from cost savings measures offset by noncash expenses such as stock based compensation and change in fair value of liabilities, and uses of cash for working capital net of the impact of deferred revenues and costs.

On January 17, 2020, Billtrust entered into a Financing Agreement with TPG Specialty Lending, Inc. ("TSL") as administrative agent and lender and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells", and with TSL, the "2020 Lenders") for a $72.5 million facility, secured by substantially all the assets of Billtrust (the “Financing Agreement”).(1) In connection with entering into the Financing Agreement, the prior term loan and revolver under the PacWest Bank Credit Agreement of $28.3 million was paid in full in January 2020, along with related interest and all liens released.

Existing letters of credit of $2.9 million issued by PacWest Bank remained outstanding and were collateralized by cash of $2.9 million which is restricted cash until the underlying letters of credit are released.

Contractual Obligations

As of December 31, 2021, Billtrust’s contractual cash obligations were as follows:

As noted above in the section “Financing Agreement”, in connection with the Business Combination, Billtrust extinguished itsour long term debt. Accordingly, long term debt by payingis no longer shown as a contractual obligation.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31,June 30, 2021, Billtrustother than the operating leases described above, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on itsour financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to Billtrust’s results determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance.
We present these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in understanding our financial performance from the perspective of management. We believe these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. While we believe the use of these non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors and management in analyzing our financial performance, non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations in that they do not reflect all
47


of the amounts and transactions that are included in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP measures do not serve as an alternative to U.S. GAAP, nor do we consider our non-GAAP measures in isolation. Accordingly we present non-GAAP financial measures only in connection with U.S. GAAP results. We urge investors to consider non-GAAP measures only in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP financials and to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as described below, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Net Revenue (non-GAAP)
Net revenue (non-GAAP) is defined as total revenues less reimbursable costs revenue, which is equal to subscription, transaction, and services revenue. Reimbursable costs revenue consists primarily of amounts charged to customers for postage (with an offsetting amount recorded as a cost of revenue) which we do not consider internally when monitoring operating performance.
We believe net revenue (non-GAAP) allows investors to evaluate comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of core operations. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to net revenue (non-GAAP) is total revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Adjusted Gross Profit (non-GAAP) & Adjusted Gross Margin (non-GAAP)
Adjusted gross profit (non-GAAP) is defined as total revenues less total cost of revenues, plus stock based compensation expense included in total cost of revenues. Adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) is defined as our adjusted gross profit (non-GAAP) divided by total revenues less reimbursable costs revenue or net revenue (non-GAAP).
We believe adjusted gross profit (non-GAAP) and adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) are useful financial measures to investors as they eliminate the impact of certain non-cash expenses and allow a direct comparison of our cash operations and ongoing operating performance between periods. We expect adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) to continue to improve over time to the extent that we are able to increase our scale by successfully growing revenues, both from cross-selling existing customers and upselling current and future offerings. However, our ability to improve adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) over time is not guaranteed and will be impacted by the factors affecting our performance discussed above and outlined in the section titled "Risk Factors" in Part II, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to adjusted gross profit (non-GAAP) and adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) is total revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
The following table presents a reconciliation of our net revenue (non-GAAP), adjusted gross profit (non-GAAP), and adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures (in thousands, except percentages):

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is defined as net loss and comprehensive loss, plus (1) income tax benefit (expense), (2) the change in fair value of financial instruments and other income including the change in the fair value of liabilities (for earnout shares, warrants, contingent consideration or other items classified as liabilities), (3) interest expense and loss on extinguishment of debt, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) stock-based compensation expense, (6) restructuring and severance costs, (7) acquisition and integration costs, and (8) other capital structure transaction costs, minus (9) interest income.
We believe adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is a key measure for us to understand and evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets, and to develop operational and strategic goals. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) helps identify underlying trends since the expenses we exclude in the calculation may not directly correlate to our overall operating performance in any specific period. Accordingly, we believe adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) also provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as management. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is net loss and comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
We believe that excluding the impact of these expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance. We believe it is useful to exclude certain non-cash charges, such as share-based compensation expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. Other income (expense), net, includes interest income, loss on asset disposals, and fair value adjustments related to warrants and contingent consideration. Restructuring and severance costs are associated with realigning our organization. Acquisition and integration expenses are related to the third party costs associated with acquiring companies and internal direct costs associated with integrating their customers onto our platforms. These costs are not expected to recur within two years, for prior acquisitions, and only reoccur if we have new acquisitions. Our last acquisition was in April 2019. Other capital structure transaction costs are related to third-party fees, including legal, accounting, and other professional fees, associated with the secondary offering of our common stock, such as the offering completed in July 2021. These costs are not expected to recur over the next two years as the secondary offering was a one-time transaction between existing and new shareholders, with no new shares being issued or offered by us.

The change in both periods compared to the prior year periods was driven by the increase in total revenues, as discussed in the Comparison of Results of Operations sections, offset by higher expenses in the second quarter of 2021 due to (1) stock-based compensation expense resulting from the grant of stock options to substantially all employees in January 2021 and the impact of Earnout RSU's associated with the Business

Combination, (2) reinstating incentive programs that were eliminated as part of the cost-reduction measures implemented in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and (3) fees associated with the secondary offering of our common stock completed in July 2021.
Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP)
Free cash flow (non-GAAP) is defined as net cash used in operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment (which includes capitalized internal-use software costs).
We believe free cash flow (non-GAAP) is an important liquidity measure of the cash available for our operational expenses and investment in business growth. It is useful to investors as a liquidity measure of our ability to generate or use cash to, maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to free cash flow (non-GAAP) is net cash used in operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Procedures

TheThere have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies, significant judgments, andor estimates included in (i) our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Amendment on Form 8-K, or our Registration Statement on Form S-1.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows us to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time the Company is not considered to be an EGC. Based on the closing share price and the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates as of June 30, 2021, we will become a large accelerated filer on December 31, 2021. As a result, beginning with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20202021, we are required to adopt all new accounting pronouncements within the same time periods as public companies. Refer to Note 1 - Organization and (ii) Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2021Nature of Business have not materially changed.in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and effects on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

The JOBS Act permits an “emerging growth company” such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.There have been no material changes in our determination of the market risks we are exposed to or our assessment of sensitivity to these market risks since our discussion included in the section titled "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Amendment on Form 8-K, or our Registration Statement on Form S-1.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act refers to controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to
50


the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, as opposed to absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or 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 the control. 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. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.June 30, 2021. Based on that evaluation, our chief
57


executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at thea reasonable assurance level, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.that date.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during our quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2021. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting despite the fact that our employees are working remotely dueIn response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Wepandemic, we have undertaken measures to protect our employees, partners, and clients, including encouraging employees to work remotely, which required us to modify some of our control procedures. These changes have not been material and we are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on theirour internal control design and operating effectiveness.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising fromDuring the ordinarynormal course of business. Ourbusiness, we are occasionally involved with various claims and litigation. Reserves are established for such matters when a loss is probable and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated, including for indemnifications with customers or other parties as a result of contractual agreements. Currently, we are not party to any such matters that, in the opinion of management, believes that there are currently no claimswould individually or actions pending against us, the ultimate disposition of which wouldtaken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. Accordingly no material reserves have been recorded.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business is subject to risks and events that, if they occur, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our securities. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors described in "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” ofcontained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2020 (the "Annual Report on Form 10-K"), as filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 24, 2021, the section titled "Risk Factors" contained in both our Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Amendment on Form 8-K"), as filed with the SEC on March 24, 2021, and in our Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-257488), originally filed with the SEC on June 28, 2021 (the "Registration Statement on Form S-1"), which remain applicable to our business. In addition, we are adding the following risk factor:
ThereWe will no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company” after December 31, 2021, and as a result, we will have beento comply with increased disclosure and compliance requirements.
We are currently an emerging growth company ("EGC") as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the "JOBS Act"). However, based on the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeding $700 million as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter of 2021, we will no material changeslonger qualify as an EGC but instead will be deemed a large accelerated filer as of December 31, 2021.
As a large accelerated filer, we will be subject to certain disclosure and compliance requirements that apply to other public companies but did not previously apply to us due to our status as an emerging growth company. These requirements include, but are not limited to:
the requirement that our independent registered public accounting firm attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002:
compliance with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements;
the requirement that we provide full and more detailed disclosures regarding executive compensation; and
the requirement that we hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and obtain stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approve.
An EGC also may elect to delay the adoption of new accounting pronouncements to when they become applicable to private companies, rather than when public companies must adopt them. We have elected to use this extended transition period and adopt certain new accounting pronouncements on the private company timeline, which means that our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting pronouncements on a non-delayed basis. We will cease to qualify as an EGC effective December 31, 2021, unless the eligibility standards are modified. Loss of EGC status will result in our losing the extended transition period noted above and will require us to adopt new accounting pronouncements within the same time periods as public companies.
We expect that the loss of EGC status and compliance with the additional requirements of being a large accelerated filer will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and cause management and other personnel to divert attention from operational and other business matters to devote substantial time to public company reporting requirements.
