| Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Description of Business EVO, Inc. is a Delaware corporation whose primary asset is its ownership of approximately 57.4% of the membership interests of EVO, LLC as of December 31, 2022. EVO, Inc. was incorporated on April 20, 2017 for the purpose of completing the Reorganization Transactions in order to consummate the IPO and to carry on the business of EVO, LLC. EVO, Inc. is the sole managing member of EVO, LLC and operates and controls all of the businesses and affairs conducted by EVO, LLC and its subsidiaries (the “Group”).

The Company supports all major card types in the markets it serves. The Company provides card-based payment processing services to small and middle market merchants, multinational corporations, government agencies, and other business and nonprofit enterprises located throughout the Americas and Europe. These services enable merchants to accept credit and debit cards and other electronic payment methods as payment for their products and services by providing terminal devices, card authorization, data capture, funds settlement, risk management, fraud detection, and chargeback services. The Company also offers value-added solutions such as gateway solutions, online hosted payments page capabilities, mobile-based SMS integrated payment collection services, security tokenization and encryption solutions at the physical and virtual POS, DCC, ACH, Level 2 and Level 3 data processing, management reporting solutions, loyalty programs, and Visa Direct, among other ancillary solutions. Other industry-specific processing capabilities are also in our product suite, such as recurring billing, multi-currency authorization, and cross-border processing and settlement. The Company operates two reportable segments: the Americas and Europe. (b) Merger with Global Payments Inc. On August 1, 2022, EVO, Inc. entered into the Merger Agreement with Global Payments and Merger Sub. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Global Payments has agreed to acquire EVO, Inc. in an all-cash transaction for $34.00 per share of Class A common stock. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants, closing conditions, and termination rights customary for transactions of this type. Until the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement and the effective time of the Merger, the Company has agreed to operate in the ordinary course of business and has agreed to certain other operating covenants, as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Merger is expected to close in the first quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions. (c) Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation where applicable. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities, as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates used for accounting purposes include, but are not limited to, valuation of RNCI, evaluation of realizability of deferred tax assets, determination of liabilities under the tax receivable agreement, determination of liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets arising from lease agreements, determination of assets or liabilities arising from derivative transactions, determination of fair value of share-based compensation, establishment of severance liabilities, establishment of allowance for doubtful accounts, and assessment of impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. (d) Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. As the sole managing member of EVO, LLC, the Company exerts control over the Group. In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation (e) Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Settlement Related Cash and Merchant Reserves Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less. Cash balances often exceed federally insured limits; however, concentration of credit risk is limited due to the payment of funds on the same day or the day following receipt in satisfaction of the settlement process. Included in cash and cash equivalents are settlement-related cash and merchant reserves. Settlement-related cash represents funds that the Company holds when the incoming amount from the card networks precedes the funding obligation to the merchant. Settlement-related cash balances are not restricted, however these funds are generally paid out in satisfaction of settlement processing obligations and therefore are not available for general purposes. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, settlement-related cash balances were $157.1 million and $133.3 million, respectively. Merchant reserves represent funds collected from the Company’s merchants that serve as collateral to minimize contingent liabilities associated with any losses that may occur under the respective merchant agreements. While this cash is not restricted in its use, the Company believes that maintaining merchant reserves to collateralize merchant losses strengthens its fiduciary standings with its card network sponsors and is in accordance with the guidelines set by the card networks. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, merchant reserves were $96.4 million and $101.6 Restricted cash represents funds held as a liquidity reserve at our Chilean and Greek subsidiaries, as required by local regulations. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported in the consolidated balance sheets to the total amount shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows: December 31, December 31, 2022 2021 (In thousands) Cash and cash equivalents $ 356,459 $ 410,368 Restricted cash included in other assets 757 247 Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows $ 357,216 $ 410,615 (f) Accounts Receivable and Other Receivables Accounts receivable include amounts due from ISOs and merchants related to the transaction processing services and sale of POS equipment and peripherals. Other receivables include advances to merchants, amounts of foreign value-added taxes to be recovered through regular business operations, and other amounts due to the Company. Receivable balances are stated net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company regularly evaluates its receivables for collectability. The Company analyzes historical losses, the financial position of its customers and known or expected trends when estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of December 31, 2022 $8.8 (g) Inventory Inventory consists primarily of electronic POS terminals and prepaid mobile phone cards and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined based on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. (h) Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is calculated pursuant to the two-class method as a result of the issuance of 152,250 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) on April 21, 2020. The Preferred Stock is considered a participating security because the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled, on an as-converted basis, to participate in and receive any dividends declared or paid on the Class A common stock, and no dividends may be paid to holders of Class A common stock unless full participating dividends are concurrently paid to holders of Preferred Stock. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities according to dividend and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method, all earnings, distributed and undistributed, are allocated to common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. The Preferred Stock is not included in the computation of basic earnings per share in periods in which the Company reports a net loss, as the Preferred Stock holders are not contractually obligated to share in the net losses. However, the cumulative dividends that accrete on the Preferred Stock for the period reduce the net income or increase the net loss allocated to common stockholders. Earnings per share is not separately presented for Class B common stock, Blueapple LLC Interests, Class C common stock, and Class D common stock since they have no economic rights to the earnings of the Company. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is calculated using the more dilutive of the (a) treasury stock method and as-converted method or (b) the two-class method. Class B common stock, which was automatically cancelled on May 25, 2021, and Blueapple LLC Interests are not considered when calculating diluted earnings per share as this class of common stock and LLC Interests may not convert to Class A common stock. Class C common stock, which was automatically converted into one share of Class D common stock on May 25, 2021, and Class D common stock are considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share on an if-converted basis as these classes, together with the paired LLC Interests, have exchange rights that could result in additional shares of Class A common stock being issued. Potentially dilutive shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock are considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share on an if-converted basis. All other potentially dilutive securities are determined based on the treasury stock method. Refer to Note 4, “Earnings Per Share,” and Note 21, “Shareholders’ Equity,” for further information. (i) Settlement Processing Assets and Obligations Settlement processing assets and obligations represent intermediary balances arising in our settlement process. Refer to Note 3, “Settlement Processing Assets and Obligations, ” (j) Equipment and Improvements Equipment and improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Card processing equipment, office equipment, computer software, and furniture and fixtures are depreciated over their respective estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. Maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the useful life of the respective assets, are recognized as expense when incurred. Refer to Note 8, “Equipment and Improvements,” for further information. (k) Deferred Financing Costs The costs associated with obtaining debt financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt. Such costs are presented as a reduction of the long-term debt. (l) Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company regularly evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the carrying amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets may not be recoverable. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired through business combinations. The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently, if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the fair value of a reporting unit might be below its carrying amount. Our reporting units are consistent with our segments: the Americas and Europe. ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, allows the Company to conduct a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. As of October 1, 2022 and 2021, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to evaluate the goodwill for indicators of impairment. A qualitative assessment includes consideration of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, changes in certain costs, overall financial performance of each reporting unit, and other relevant entity-specific events. In performing its qualitative assessment, the Company considered the results of its quantitative impairment test performed in 2020 and the financial performance of the reporting units during 2022 and 2021. Based upon such assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair values of these reporting units exceeded their carrying amounts as of the date of the impairment test. There were no significant events or changes in the circumstances since the date of the Company’s annual impairment test that would have required a reassessment of the results as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. As of December 31, 2022, there are no indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. Finite-lived assets include merchant contract portfolios and customer relationships, marketing alliance agreements, trademarks, internally developed and acquired software, and non-competition agreements, and are stated net of accumulated amortization and impairment charges and foreign currency translation adjustments. Merchant contract portfolios and customer relationships consist of merchant or customer contracts acquired from third parties that will generate revenue for the Company. The useful lives of these assets are determined using forecasted cash flows, which are based on, among other factors, the estimates of revenue, expenses, and attrition associated with the underlying portfolio of merchant or customer accounts. The useful lives are determined based upon the period of time over which a significant portion of the economic value of such assets is expected to be realized. The useful life of merchant contract portfolios and customer relationships ranges from 5 to 19 years . Amortization of these assets is recognized under an accelerated method, which approximates the expected distribution of the portfolios’ forecasted cash flows. Marketing alliance agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreements, which range from 5 to 21 years . Trademarks are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of time during which a significant portion of the economic value of such assets is expected to be realized, which ranges from 2 to 20 years . Internally developed and acquired software is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 10 years . The estimated useful lives of the software are based on various factors, including obsolescence, technology, competition, and other economic factors. The costs related to the internally developed software are capitalized during the developmental phase of a project, and amortization commences when the software is placed into use by the Company. The costs incurred during the preliminary project stage are expensed as incurred. Non-competition agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, which is 3 years. When factors indicate that a long-lived asset should be assessed for impairment, the Company evaluates whether the carrying value of the asset will be recovered through the future undiscounted cash flows from the ongoing use of the asset, and if applicable, its eventual disposition. When the carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the difference. Refer to Note 9, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” for further information. (m) Derivatives The Company recognizes derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of a particular derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate or not designate such derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a cash flow hedge. Investments in foreign operations with functional currencies other than the reporting currency are subject to foreign currency risk as foreign instruments are remeasured each period resulting in fluctuations in the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) section within other comprehensive (loss) income. Net investment hedge accounting offers protection from remeasurement risk as changes in fair value of the derivative are also recorded in CTA. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. The Company uses a forward contract, foreign currency swap, and window forward contracts to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company elected not to designate the instruments as a hedge and they are not subject to hedge accounting. The Company entered into a cross currency swap to hedge the risk of fluctuations in the exchange rate related to a net investment in a foreign subsidiary. The Company designated the cross currency swap as a net investment hedge. Changes in the fair value of a net investment hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings when the hedged net investment is sold or substantially liquidated. Components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness will be recognized in earnings using a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as, and meets all the required criteria for, a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is not designated as a cash flow hedge are recorded as a component of other (expense) income. Refer to Note 14, “Derivatives,” and Note 18, “Fair Value,” for further information on the derivative instruments. (n) Revenue Recognition The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers The Company primarily earns revenue from payment processing services. The payment processing services involve capturing, routing, and clearing transactions through the applicable payment network. The Company obtains authorization for each transaction and requests funds settlement from the card issuing financial institution through the payment network. In addition, the Company also earns revenue from the sale and rental of electronic POS equipment. The Company’s revenue consists primarily of transaction-based fees that are made up of a significant volume of low-dollar transactions, sourced from multiple systems, platforms, and applications. The payment processing is highly automated, and is based on contractual terms with merchants. Because of the nature of payment processing services, the Company relies on automated systems to process and record the revenue transactions. Netting against the revenue is certain commissions for referral partners and third party processing and assessment costs The Company’s core performance obligation is to provide continuous access to the Company’s processing services in order to be able to process as many transactions as its customers require on a daily basis over the contract term, as the timing and quantity of transactions to be processed is not determinable. Under a stand-ready obligation, the Company’s performance is defined by each time increment rather than by the underlying activities satisfied over time based on days elapsed. Because the service of standing ready is substantially the same each day, and has the same pattern of transfer to the customer, the Company has determined that its stand-ready performance obligation comprises a series of distinct days of service. The Company’s contractual agreements outline the pricing related to payment processing services including fixed fees and pricing related to the sale or rental of POS equipment. Given the nature of the promise to stand ready to provide payment processing services and the fees which are based on unknown quantities of services to be performed over the contract term, the consideration related to the payment processing services is determined to be variable consideration. The variable consideration is usage-based and the variability is satisfied each day the services are provided to the customer. The Company allocates variable fees to the distinct day of service to which it relates, considering the services performed each day in order to allocate the appropriate amount of total fees to that day. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue for payment processing services over time on a daily basis based on the services performed on that day. Revenue from the sale of POS equipment is recognized at a point in time when the POS equipment is shipped and title passes to the customer. Revenue recognized at a point in time is not material. Revenue from the rental of electronic POS equipment is recognized over time. ASC 606 requires disclosure of the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations; however, as permitted by the standard, the Company has elected to exclude from this disclosure any contracts with an original duration of one year or less and any variable consideration that meets specified criteria. As discussed above, the Company’s core performance obligation is a stand-ready obligation comprised of a series of distinct days of service, and revenue related to this performance obligation is generally billed and recognized as the services are performed. The variable consideration allocated to this performance obligation meets the specified criteria for disclosure exclusion. The aggregate fixed consideration portion of customer contracts with an initial contract duration greater than one year is not material. The Company follows the requirements of ASC 606-10, Principal Agent Considerations For payment processing services, the determination of gross versus net recognition for interchange, card network fees, and commissions depends on whether the Company controls the good or service before it is transferred to the merchant or whether the Company is acting as an agent of a third party. The Company frequently enters into agreements with third parties under which the third party engages the Company to provide payment processing services to all of their customers. Under these agreements the third party acts as supplier of products or services by achieving most of the shared risks and rewards of customer contracts and the Company passes the third party’s share of merchant receipts to them as commissions. The Company incurs interchange and card network fees from the card issuers and payment networks respectively, and does not have the ability to direct the use of or receive the benefits from the services provided by the card issuers or the payment networks. 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. Interchange and card network rates are pre-established by the card networks, and the Company has no latitude in determining these fees. Therefore, the Company is acting as an agent with respect to these services. Revenue generated from payment processing is presented net of interchange, card network fees, and certain commissions. Commissions payable to referral and reseller partners are recognized as incurred. (o) Share-Based Compensation The Company follows ASC 718, Compensation: Stock Compensation (p) Income Taxes Subsequent to consummation of the Reorganization Transactions and the IPO, the Company is subject to United States federal, state and local income taxes. The Company's subsidiaries are subject to income taxes in the respective jurisdictions in which they operate. Prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Transactions and the IPO, provision for United States federal, state, and local income tax was not material, as EVO, LLC is a limited liability company and is treated as a pass-through entity for United States federal, state, and local income tax purposes. Deferred Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted jurisdictional tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it is expected that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. The Company evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets, and to the extent that the Company estimates that it is more likely than not that a benefit will not be realized, the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets is reduced with a valuation allowance. As a part of this evaluation, the Company assesses all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations, to determine whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to realize existing deferred tax assets. The Company has identified objective and verifiable negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses on an unadjusted basis in certain jurisdictions over the preceding twelve quarters ended December 31, 2022. The Company also evaluated its historical core earnings by jurisdiction, after adjusting for certain nonrecurring items. On the basis of this assessment, and after considering future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, the Company established valuation allowances in the current and prior periods to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized in certain European jurisdictions. In the United States, with the exception of the interest expense limitation and a stand alone domestic subsidiary, the Company concluded that its indefinite lived deferred tax assets will be realizable and recorded no valuation allowance. In arriving at this determination, the Company considered both (i) historical core earnings, after adjusting for certain nonrecurring items, and (ii) the projected future profitability of its core operations and the impact of enacted changes in the application of the interest expense limitation rules beginning in 2022. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, a valuation allowance of $14.9 $11.6 Uncertain Tax Positions The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes The Company is subject to tax audits in various jurisdictions and regularly assesses the likely outcome of such audits in order to determine the need for liabilities for uncertain tax benefits. The Company continually evaluates the appropriateness of liabilities for uncertain tax positions, considering factors such as statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, and changes in tax law. Refer to Note 12, “Income Taxes,” for further information. (q) Nonredeemable Non-controlling Interests and Redeemable Non-controlling Interests Non-controlling interests relate to the portion of equity in a consolidated subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Where redemption of such non-controlling interests is solely within the control of the Company, such interests are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as “Nonredeemable non-controlling interests.” RNCI refers to non-controlling interests that are redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the Company’s control and is reported in the mezzanine section between total liabilities and shareholders’ deficit, as temporary equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company adjusts RNCI balance to reflect its estimate of the maximum redemption amount each reporting period. Refer to Note 17, “Redeemable Non-controlling Interests,” for further information. (r) Foreign-Currency Translation The Company has operations in foreign countries whose functional currency is the local currency. Gains and losses on transactions and monetary assets and liabilities, denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, are included in the net income or loss for the period. The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries whose functional currency is a foreign currency are translated at the period-end exchange rates. Income statement items are translated at the average monthly rates for the year. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income and is included in shareholders’ deficit. (s) Fair-Value Measurements The Company follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements The Company uses the hierarchy prescribed in ASC 820 for fair value measurements, based on the available inputs to the valuation and the degree to which they are observable or not observable in the market. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 Inputs — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date; Level 2 Inputs — · quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; · quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; · inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or · inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means; Level 3 Inputs — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value allowing for inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions about what other market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. (t) Investment in equity securities The Company’s accounting treatment for investments in equity securities differs for those with and without readily determinable fair values. Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value at each reporting period recognized on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair value are recorded at cost, less impairment, if any, plus or minus observable price changes in orderly transactions of an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. (u) Segment Reporting The Company has two operating segments: the Americas and Europe. The Company’s reportable segments are the same as its operating segments. The alignment of the Company’s segments is designed to establish lines of business that support the geographical markets in which the Company operates and allows the Company to further globalize its solutions while working seamlessly with teams across these markets. The America’s segment comprises the geographical markets of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Chile. The Europe segment comprises the geographical markets of |
