Forward-looking statements may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from historical results or from any future results or projections expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this report may include statements about:

    •
    our ability to effectively manage our growth and expand our operations;
    •
    our ability to further attract, retain and expand our biller, financial institutions, partner and consumer base;
    •
    our ability to timely implement and recognize revenue from new customers;
    •
    our expectations regarding our revenue, expenses and other operating results;
    •
    the impact of any material cybersecurity incident on our reputation as a trusted brand or on our business, operating results and financial condition;
    •
    our market opportunity and anticipated trends in our business and industry;
    •
    our ability to remain competitive as we continue to scale our business;
    •
    our ability to develop new product features and enhance our platform;
    •
    our ability to hire and retain experienced and talented employees as we grow our business;
    •
    general economic conditions, including inflation, and their impact on us, consumer demand, average bill amounts and interchange fees, and the impact of changes from an evolving regulatory environment;
    •
    the impact of disruptions or instability in the financial services industry, or perceived or actual liquidity constraints at financial institutions, on our ability or the ability of our customers and vendors to meet operating expense requirements or to satisfy financial or other obligations;
    •
    our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of past or future acquisitions or strategic investments in complementary companies, products or technologies and our ability to manage the potential business disruption and diversion of management attention caused by such acquisitions;
    •
    our ability to maintain and enhance our brand;
    •
    our plan to expand into new channels and industry verticals across different markets;
    •
    the impact of widespread health issues on our operating results, liquidity and financial condition and on our employees, billers, financial institutions, partners, consumers and other key stakeholders;
    •
    our international expansion plans and ability to expand internationally; and
    •
    those factors described in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report.

    We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this report.

    You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this report. We cannot

    3


     

    assure you that the results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

    Neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the ultimate outcome of any of these forward-looking statements. Moreover, the forward-looking statements made in this report relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this report to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

    In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information.

    In this report, unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “we,” “our,” “us,” “Paymentus,” and the “Company” refer to Paymentus Holdings, Inc., and where appropriate its consolidated subsidiaries.

    PAYMENTUS HOLDINGS, INC.

    NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    (In thousands, unless otherwise stated)

    (Unaudited)

    1. Organization and Description of Business

    Description of Business

    Paymentus Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Paymentus” or the “Company”) provides electronic bill presentment and payment services, enterprise customer communication and self-service revenue management to billers through a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”), secure, omni-channel technology platform. The platform seamlessly integrates into a biller’s core financial and operating systems to provide flexible and secure access to payment processing of credit cards, debit cards, eChecks and digital wallets across a significant number of channels including online, mobile, IVR, call center, chatbot and voice-based assistants. Paymentus was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 2, 2011 with office locations in Charlotte, North Carolina, Dallas, Texas, Richmond Hill, Ontario (Canada), and Delhi and Bangalore (India). The Company is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina.

    2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K”).

    These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future interim or annual period.

    Principles of Consolidation

    The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

    Use of Estimates

    The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include revenue recognition, cost of revenue recognition, the allowance for credit losses, the lives of tangible and intangible assets, the valuation of acquired intangible assets and the recoverability or impairment of intangible assets, including goodwill, internal-use software development costs, valuation of stock warrants issued, stock-based compensation, and accounting for income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and also on assumptions that management considers reasonable. The Company assesses these estimates on a regular basis; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

    Custodial Accounts

    The Company has established a relationship with its merchant processors to act as collection and paying agents, whereby a merchant processor receives funds from customers and forwards such funds to the respective Paymentus client, based on the instructions received from the Company. These merchant processors act as custodians of the cash received, and the Company has no legal ownership rights to the funds held in such custodial accounts and does not control the use of these funds. As the Company does not take ownership of the funds, these custodial accounts are not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The balance of cash in the custodial accounts held by these merchant processors was $483.1 million and $510.8 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

    9


     

    Concentration of Credit Risk

    Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions with investment-grade ratings. For accounts receivable, the Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonpayment by customers and resellers to the extent of the amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. No customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue for either of the three or six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024 one customer/reseller accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable.

    Segment Information

    Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to make operating decisions, allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has three operating segments based on geography. The United States segment represents the vast majority of the Company’s consolidated net sales and gross profit. The additional two operating segments, Canada and India, do not meet the quantitative thresholds for separate reporting, either individually or in the aggregate. None of the operating segments qualified for aggregation. The Company’s CODM is its chief executive officer. The CODM evaluates the performance of the Company’s operating segments based on revenue and gross profit. The Company does not analyze discrete segment balance sheet information related to long-term assets. All other financial information is presented on a consolidated basis. For information regarding the Company’s long-lived assets and revenue by geographic area, see Note 4 and Note 3, respectively.

    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 included in the 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

    Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

    The Company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting guidance as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 either (1) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to public business entities, or (2) within the same time periods as non-public business entities, including early adoption when permissible. With the exception of standards the Company elected to early adopt, when permissible, the Company has elected to adopt new or revised accounting guidance within the same time period as non-public business entities, as indicated below.

    Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

    Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

    In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. All disclosure requirements under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

    In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Tax Disclosures", which makes changes to annual disclosures of income taxes paid for all entities and requires entities to disclose the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign jurisdiction. Additionally, entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received, for individual jurisdictions that comprise 5% or more of total income taxes paid. The 5% threshold is evaluated using the absolute value of the net refund or net payment in each jurisdiction compared to the absolute value of the total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). ASU 2023-09 requires all entities to disclose disaggregated domestic and foreign pre-tax income (or loss) from continuing operations along with disaggregated income tax expense (or benefit) by federal, state and foreign components. Such disaggregation by jurisdiction should classify taxes by jurisdiction based on the jurisdiction imposing the taxes. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

    Remaining Performance Obligations

    As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was $5.8 million, of which the Company expects to recognize over 70% within the next two years, 23% between two to four years and the remainder thereafter. The timing of revenue recognition within the next four years is largely dependent upon the go-live dates of the Company's customers under the Company’s contracts.

    As of June 30, 2024, the Company has contractual rights under its commercial agreements with customers and resellers to receive $44.2 million of fixed consideration related to the future minimum guarantees through 2026. As permitted, the Company has elected to exclude from this disclosure any variable consideration that meets specified criteria. Accordingly, the total unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations related to processing services is significantly higher than the amount disclosed.

    Other Commitments

    The Company has entered into certain non-cancellable agreements for software and marketing services that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum services to be used, pricing provisions and the approximate timing of the transaction. Obligations under contracts that are cancellable or with remaining terms of 12 months or less are not included.

    13


     

    There have been no material changes to the Company's contractual obligations or commitments outside of the ordinary course of business as compared to those described in the 2023 Form 10-K.

    Legal Matters

    The Company is involved from time to time in various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. From time to time as appropriate, the Company accrues liabilities related to legal claims in its financial statements. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of these matters, the Company believes that, as of June 30, 2024, no current claims and legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

    Indemnification

    The Company enters into indemnification provisions under agreements with other parties in the ordinary course of business, including business partners, investors, contractors, customers, and the Company’s officers, directors, and certain employees. The Company has agreed to indemnify and defend the indemnified party claims and related losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party from actual or threatened third-party claims due to the Company’s activities or non-compliance with obligations or representations made by the Company. The Company seeks to limit, or cap, its indemnification exposure in its commercial and other contracts. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these indemnification provisions due to the Company’s limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision.

    8. Equity

    Warrant

    On May 13, 2021, the Company entered into a warrant agreement with JPMC Strategic Investments I Corporation (“JPMC”), an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an underwriter in our 2021 initial public offering ("IPO"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue a warrant to JPMC for up to 509,370 shares of Class A common stock upon completion of the IPO at an exercise price of $18.38 per share (the “May 2021 warrant agreement”). Upon completion of the IPO, 382,027 of the warrant shares vested and were exercisable. The vesting of the remaining 127,343 shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrant will be subject to the achievement of certain commercial milestones through December 31, 2025 pursuant to a related commercial agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPM Chase”), an affiliate of JPMC. As discussed below, this commercial agreement was amended in August 2022, and the achievement of certain commercial milestones was extended through December 31, 2026 and minimum revenue commitments were set for each of the calendar years through 2026. As of June 30, 2024, 448,880 warrant shares were vested and exercisable under the May 2021 warrant agreement.

    On August 29, 2022, the Company entered into a second warrant agreement with JPMC, in connection with an amendment to the Company's existing commercial agreement with JPM Chase discussed above, pursuant to which the Company issued a warrant to JPMC for up to 684,510 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $10.10 per share (the “August 2022 warrant agreement”). Upon signing the August 2022 warrant agreement, 171,128 of the warrant shares vested and were exercisable. The vesting of the remaining 513,382 shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrant will be subject to the achievement of certain commercial milestones through December 31, 2026 pursuant to the commercial agreement, as amended. As of June 30, 2024 there were no additional warrant shares vested under the August 2022 warrant agreement.

    As of June 30, 2024, an aggregate of 620,008 warrants had vested and were exercisable under the outstanding warrant agreements.

    The Company accounts for the consideration payable in the form of warrants to its vendor as share based compensation expense. The warrant fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.

    9. Stock-Based Compensation

    In May 2021, the Company’s board of directors (the "Board") adopted, and its stockholders approved, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), which became effective in connection with the IPO. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), to the Company’s employees and any of its parent or subsidiary corporations’ employees, and for the grant of non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and performance awards to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants and any of its parent or subsidiary corporations’ employees and consultants. A total of approximately 10.5 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock have been reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan in addition to (i) an annual increase of 4% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, with Class

    14


     

    A and Class B common stock taken together, on the first day of each fiscal year, subject to the Compensation Committee of the Board exercising discretion to increase or decrease such amount (the “Evergreen Addition”), and (ii) upon the expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or reacquisition of any shares of Class B common stock underlying outstanding stock awards granted under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, such number of shares not to exceed 7.6 million shares. On January 1, 2024, pursuant to the Evergreen Addition, approximately 5 million shares of Class A common stock were added to the 2021 Plan issuance reserve. At June 30, 2024, there were approximately 21.8 million remaining shares available for the Company to grant under the 2021 Plan.

    At June 30, 2024, there was $0.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

    At June 30, 2024, there was $35.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs granted under the 2021 Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 3.6 years.

    10. Income Taxes

    The Company computes its tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date income from recurring operations and adjusting for discrete items arising in that quarter. The Company continues to record a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets (“DTA”) in the U.S. as it is not more likely than not to be realized given the significant tax deductions for stock-based compensation recognized in previous years that have created cumulative losses in recent years.

    The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was 24.9% and 28.6%, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 7.0% and 2.7%, respectively. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% in the above periods was primarily the result of permanent differences for disallowed stock-based compensation pursuant to IRC Section 162(m), state taxes and the impact of the full valuation allowance. In 2023, it was primarily the result of near break-even pre-tax income from operations, state taxes and the impact of the full valuation allowance and other permanent adjustments in addition to a return to provision benefit recorded in connection with a change in estimate of costs required to be capitalized under IRC Section 174.

    11. Net Income per Share Attributable to Common Stock

    Basic net income per share attributable to common stock is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

    Diluted net income per share attributable to common stock is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents to the extent they are dilutive. The dilutive effect of outstanding options, RSUs and warrants is reflected in diluted net income per share attributable to common stock by application of the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to common stock excludes all anti-dilutive common shares.

    The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class of common stock and the resulting basic and diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders are, therefore, the same for both Class A and Class B common stock on both an individual and combined basis.

    The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to common stock (in thousands, except for share and per share data):

    Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

    Overview

    We are a leading provider of cloud-based bill payment technology and solutions. We deliver our next-generation product suite through a modern technology stack to more than 2,200 biller business and financial institution clients. Our platform was used by approximately 34 million consumers and businesses in North America in December 2023 to pay their bills, make money movements and engage with our clients. We serve billers of all sizes that primarily provide non-discretionary services across a variety of industry verticals, including utilities, financial services, insurance, government, telecommunications, real estate management, healthcare and education. We also serve financial institutions by providing them with a modern platform that their customers use for bill payment, account-to-account transfers and person-to-person transfers. By powering this comprehensive network of billers and financial institutions, each with their own set of bill payment requirements, we believe we have created an enviable feedback loop that enables us to continuously drive innovation, grow our business and uniquely improve the electronic bill payment experience for participants in the bill payment ecosystem.

    Our platform provides our clients with easy-to-use, flexible and secure electronic bill payment experiences powered by an omni-channel payment infrastructure that allows consumers to pay their bills using their preferred payment type and channel. Because our biller platform is developed on a single code base and leverages a SaaS infrastructure, we can rapidly deploy new features and tools to our entire biller base simultaneously. Through a single point of integration to our billers’ core financial and operating systems, our mission-critical solutions provide our billers with a payments operating system that helps them collect revenue faster and more profitably and empower their consumers with the information and transparency needed to control their finances.

    We define transactions processed as the number of revenue generating payment transactions, such as checks, credit card and debit card transactions, automated clearing house, or ACH, items and emerging payment types, which are initiated and generally processed through our platform during a period. The number of transactions also includes account-to-account and person-to-person transfers. The increase in the number of transactions processed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023 was primarily driven by the addition of new billers and financial institutions and increased transactions from our existing billers and financial institutions.

    Other Key Factors and Trends Affecting Our Operating Results

    The discussion below includes a number of forward-looking statements regarding our future performance. For a discussion of important factors, including the continuing development of our business and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from matters referred to below, see the discussions under “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” herein and in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 or, the "2023 Form 10-K".

    Impact of Economic and Inflationary Trends

    Inflationary pressures continue to be volatile, and although we have experienced a general overall improvement and more normalized inflation in comparison to the trailing annual trends, the economic uncertainty and inflationary conditions continue to remain high and could have an adverse impact on our performance during the remainder of 2024. Inflationary pressure is resulting in higher average bills, particularly in the utility sector, and increased interchange fees. Where appropriate, we seek to adjust our prices to address the inflationary pressures, however our ability to do so typically lags behind the impact of inflation on our clients. While we made several price adjustments as a result of the inflationary impacts on our business, we will continue to monitor and manage the economic environment for the remainder of 2024 by working closely with clients on implementations and further price adjustments as necessary.

    Non-GAAP Measures

    We use supplemental measures of our performance that are derived from our consolidated financial information but which are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. These supplemental non-GAAP measures include contribution profit, adjusted gross profit, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow.

    17


     

    Contribution Profit

    We calculate contribution profit as gross profit plus other cost of revenue. Other cost of revenue equals cost of revenue less interchange and assessment fees paid by us to our payment processors.

    Adjusted Gross Profit

    We calculate adjusted gross profit as gross profit adjusted for non-cash items, primarily stock-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and capitalized software development costs.

    Adjusted EBITDA

    We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net income before other income (expense) (which consists of interest income (expense), net, other non-recurring income), depreciation and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and capitalized software development costs, and income taxes, adjusted to exclude the effects of net and foreign exchange gain (loss), stock-based compensation expense and certain nonrecurring expenses that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations.

    Free Cash Flow

    We calculate free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures, other intangible assets acquired, and capitalized internal-use software development costs.

    How we use Non-GAAP Measures

    We use non-GAAP measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results allows management and our board of directors to more fully understand our consolidated financial performance from period to period and helps management project our future consolidated financial performance as forecasts are developed at a level of detail different from that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP measures provide our investors with useful information to help them evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our operating performance and enabling them to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. In particular, we exclude interchange and assessment fees in the presentation of contribution profit because we believe inclusion is less directly reflective of our operating performance as we do not control the payment product or channel used by consumers, which is the primary determinant of the amount of interchange and assessment fees. We use contribution profit to measure the amount available to fund our operations after interchange and assessment fees, which are directly linked to the number of transactions we process and thus our revenue and gross profit. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP measures presented in this report. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies; other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    We also urge you to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures included below. To properly and prudently evaluate our business, we encourage you to review the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

    In general, contribution profit is driven by the number of transactions we process offset by network fees associated with processing those transactions. The amount of contribution profit per transaction may vary due to a variety of factors substantially outside of our control, including client size, type and industry as well as whether the client is a biller, financial institution or other partner. Contribution profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 increased approximately 28.3%, and 28.9%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by growth in transaction count and volume driven by the addition of new billers and financial institutions and increased transactions from our existing billers and financial institutions, together with pricing improvements from customers related to our inflation management and the implementation of certain cost improvement measures.

    Adjusted gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 increased 28.1% and 29.9%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. Adjusted gross profit improved in line with contribution profit. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of contribution profit was stable for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and as a result of economies of scale, improved for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Adjusted gross profit is driven primarily by the same factors that impact gross profit with the exception of excluding the amortization and stock-based compensation recorded in cost of revenue. The increase in amortization was driven by additional capitalization of software costs.

    Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

    Revenue

    The increase in revenue was primarily driven by an increase in the number of transactions processed, which was driven by the implementation of new billers, increased transactions from our existing billers and pricing improvements implemented throughout the year.

    Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin

    The increase in cost of revenue was driven by the increase in revenue and transactions processed, as it consists primarily of interchange fees and processor costs, as well as other direct costs associated with making our platform available to our billers.

    Gross margin decreased due to the addition of large high volume enterprise billers to our customer base.

    Research and Development Expenses

    The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to increased amortization of capitalized internal-use software development costs and an increase in employee-related costs, including an increase in stock-based compensation expenses.

    Sales and Marketing Expenses

    The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to increased employee-related costs as a result of increased hiring, including higher stock-based compensation expenses, reseller commissions including amortization of warrants and increased activity for go to market events and trade shows.

    General and Administrative Expenses

    The marginal increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in employee-related costs, legal fees and professional fees, which were offset by lower cost of insurance premiums for our directors and officers and commercial and general liability insurance premiums.

    Interest Income, net

    The increase in interest income, net was a result of higher cash balances held with banks for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, together with increases in the Federal Reserve rates.

    Income Taxes

    The change in provision for income taxes as well as the increase in the Company's effective tax rate, which was 24.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to 7.0% for the same period in the prior year, was primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes as well as the results of permanent differences for disallowed stock-based compensation pursuant to IRC Section 162(m), state taxes and the impact of the full valuation allowance. In 2023, it was primarily the result of near break-even pre-tax income from operations, state taxes and the impact of the full valuation allowance and other permanent adjustments in addition to a return to provision benefit recorded in connection with a change in estimate of costs required to be capitalized under IRC Section 174.

    Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

    Revenue

    The increase in revenue was primarily driven by an increase in the number of transactions processed, which was driven by the implementation of new billers and increased transactions from our existing billers. Revenue increase was also driven by pricing improvements.

    Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin

    The increase in cost of revenue was driven by the increase in revenue and transactions processed, as it consists primarily of interchange fees and processor costs, as well as other direct costs associated with making our platform available to our billers.

    Gross margin slightly increased due to lower cost of revenues for other direct costs associated with making our platform available to our billers by certain cost improvement initiatives and economies of scale, offset to some extent by a reduced margins due to the addition of large high volume enterprise billers to our customer base.

    Interest income, net

    The increase in interest income, net was a result of higher cash balances held with banks for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, together with increases in the Federal Reserve rates.

    Income Taxes

    The change in provision for income taxes as well as the increase in the Company's effective tax rate, which was 28.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to 2.7% for the same period in the prior year, was primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes as well as the results of permanent differences for disallowed stock-based compensation pursuant to IRC Section 162(m), state taxes and the impact of the full valuation allowance. In 2023, it was primarily the result of near break-even pre-tax income from operations, state taxes and the impact of the full valuation allowance and other permanent adjustments in addition to a return to provision benefit recorded in connection with a change in estimate of costs required to be capitalized under IRC Section 174.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Sources and Uses of Funds

    As of June 30, 2024, we had $188.8 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. We believe that existing unrestricted cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to support our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. Since inception, we have financed operations primarily through the sale of equity securities and revenue from payment transaction fees and subscriptions. Our principal uses of cash are funding operations and capital expenditures.

    From time to time, we may explore additional financing sources and means to lower our cost of capital, which could include equity, equity-linked and debt financing. We cannot assure you that any additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to raise capital would adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or equity-linked securities, the ownership of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we raise additional financing by the incurrence of indebtedness, we may be subject to increased fixed payment obligations and could be subject to additional restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business or execute our growth strategy. Any future indebtedness we incur may result in terms that could be unfavorable to equity investors.

    Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

    Our primary source of operating cash is revenue from payment transaction fees. Our primary uses of operating cash are personnel-related costs, payments to third parties to fulfill our payment transactions and payments to sales and marketing partners. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $29.0 million. Net income was $16.6 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $26.0 million consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, amortization of contract assets and non-cash lease expense, which contributed positively to cash provided from operating activities. This was decreased by net cash outflows of $13.6 million used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

    Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $31.2 million. Net income was $6.5 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $21.3 million consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, amortization of contract assets and non-cash lease expense, which contributed positively to cash provided from operating activities. This was increased by net cash inflows of $3.4 million provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

    Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

    Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of $18.4 million of capitalized software development costs and $0.3 million of purchases of property and equipment, which was offset by $0.1 million of net change in interest-bearing deposits.

    Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted of $16.6 million of capitalized internal-use software development costs and $0.4 million of purchases of property and equipment.

    Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

    Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of $0.5 million of settlement of holdback liability relating to a prior acquisition, which was offset by $0.1 million of proceeds from exercise of stock-based awards by employees.

    Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted of $1.7 million of payments on other financing obligations and $0.1 million of payments on finance leases.

    Early Warning of Possible Valuation Allowance Reversal in Future Periods

    We recorded a valuation allowance against all of our US deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. We intend to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. However, given our current earnings and anticipated future earnings, we believe that there is a reasonable possibility that within the next 12 months, sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow us to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve.

    Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosures of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2023.

    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

    See Note 2 “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the respective dates of adoption or expected adoption and effects on our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

    Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

    There have been no material changes in our exposures to market risk since December 31, 2023. For details on the Company’s interest rate, foreign currency exchange, and inflation risks, see Part I, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Information About Market Risk” in our 2023 Form 10-K.

    Item 4. Controls and Procedures

    Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

    Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, and as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level. In light of this fact, our management has performed additional analyses, reconciliations, and other post-closing procedures and has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly state, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.

    Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

    A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As of June 30, 2024, our material weaknesses were as follows:

    •
    We lacked a sufficient number of trained professionals with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, training and experience to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters, including accounting for capitalized internal-use software development costs, identification of reporting units, translation of foreign currency in consolidation, accounting for deferred compensation, calculation of earnings per share and classification of accounts in the financial statements. Additionally, we did not design and maintain effective controls over verifying the appropriate review and approval of journal entries.
    •
    We did not design and maintain effective controls relevant to the preparation of our financial statements with respect to certain IT general controls for information systems. Specifically, we did not design and maintain (1) program change management controls to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting certain IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately; and (2) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs and data to appropriate company personnel.

    Status of Remediation Plan

    We believe we have made significant progress towards remediation of the material weaknesses described above. As previously disclosed, we have completed the following remediation measures:

    •
    onboarded experienced finance and accounting professionals at various senior roles;
    •
    updated the design of our general ledger accounting system to allow for effective restricted access and segregation of duties to govern the preparation and review of journal entries;
    •
    implemented management review controls over journal entries and the identification and review of complex transactions;
    •
    secured the general ledger accounting system by implementing single sign-on (SSO); and
    •
    implemented additional change management and access controls for our relevant IT applications to further restrict privileged access and implemented controls to review activities, which may materially affect our financial statements, for those users who have privileged access.

    In addition to the aforementioned actions that have been completed to-date, during the second quarter, we continued to enhance the design and implementation of certain IT general controls for information systems. While we believe that these actions will remediate the material weaknesses, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are designed and operating effectively.

    Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

    Other than continuing to make progress on the ongoing remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

    24


     

    Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

    Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

    PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

    Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

    From time to time, we may be involved in claims, regulatory examinations or investigations and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. The outcome of any such claims or proceedings, regardless of the merits, and the Company’s ultimate liability, if any, is inherently uncertain. Furthermore, we may become subject to stockholder inspection demands under Delaware law and derivative or other similar litigation. We are not currently party to any material legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding against us that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition.

    Item 1A. Risk Factors.

    There have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A. of our 2023 Form 10-K.

    Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

    None.

    Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities.

    None.

    Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

    Not Applicable.

    Item 5. Other Information.

    Except as set forth below, during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, none of the Company’s directors or officers adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as such terms are defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S‑K.

    On June 13, 2024, Sanjay Kalra, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, adopted a trading arrangement for the sale of the Company’s Class A common stock (a “Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan”) that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Securities Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1(c). Mr. Kalra’s Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan, which expires June 14, 2025, provides for the sale of up to 50,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the plan.
