Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organizational Structure and Corporate Information
Repay Holdings Corporation was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on July 11, 2019 in connection with the closing of a transaction (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to which Thunder Bridge Acquisition Ltd., a special purpose acquisition company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Thunder Bridge”), (a) domesticated into a Delaware corporation and changed its name to “Repay Holdings Corporation” and (b) consummated the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Thunder Bridge with and into Hawk Parent Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Hawk Parent”).
Throughout this section, unless otherwise noted or unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we”, “us”, “Repay” and the “Company” and similar references refer to Repay Holdings Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X as they apply to interim financial information. Accordingly, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when earned, usually upon the date services are rendered, and expenses are recognized at the date services are rendered or goods are received.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the Company’s opinion include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature or a description of the nature and amount of any adjustments other than normal recurring adjustments, operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. The interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Repay Holdings Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiary, Hawk Parent Holdings LLC, along with Hawk Parent Holdings LLC’s wholly owned subsidiaries: Hawk Intermediate Holdings, LLC, Hawk Buyer Holdings, LLC, Repay Holdings, LLC, M&A Ventures, LLC, Repay Management Holdco Inc., Repay Management Services LLC, Sigma Acquisition, LLC, Wildcat Acquisition, LLC, Marlin Acquirer, LLC, REPAY International LLC, REPAY Canada Solutions ULC, TriSource Solutions, LLC (“TriSource”), Mesa Acquirer, LLC, CDT Technologies LTD (“Ventanex”), Viking GP Holdings, LLC, cPayPlus, LLC (“cPayPlus”), CPS Payment Services, LLC, Media Payments, LLC, Custom Payment Systems, LLC, Electronic Payment Providers, LLC, Internet Payment Exchange, LLC, Stratus Payment Solutions, LLC, Clear Payment Solutions, LLC, Harbor Acquisition LLC, Payix Holdings Incorporated and Payix Incorporated. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Segment Reporting
The Company reports operating results through two reportable segments: (1) Consumer Payments and (2) Business Payments, as further discussed in Note 13. Segments.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements not yet Adopted
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”)”. ASU 2023-07 improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of ASU No. 2023-07 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”)”. ASU 2023-09 requires public business entities on an annual basis to (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of ASU No. 2023-09 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

When the Company’s right to consideration for performance is contingent upon a future event or satisfaction of additional performance obligations, the amount of revenues the Company has recognized in excess of the amount the Company has billed to the client is recognized as a contract asset. The contract asset balance was $1.6 million and $1.4 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is included within Prepaid expenses and other in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
4. Earnings Per Share
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 notes are not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share as the Company is required to settle such amount in cash. The Company may elect to settle the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes being converted in cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares. Because the average market price of the Company’s Class A common stock for the period was less than the conversion price, there are no incremental shares to be considered in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share. See Note 9. Borrowings for further discussion on the 2029 Notes. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same since the inclusion of the assumed exchange of all limited liability company interests of Hawk Parent (“Post-Merger Repay Units”), unvested share-based awards, outstanding stock options, outstanding employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) purchase rights and the Company’s convertible senior notes would have been anti-dilutive.
The following table summarizes net income (loss) attributable to the Company and the weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding:

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the following common stock equivalent shares were excluded from the computation of the diluted loss per share, since their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

| | | | | | | | | |
Shares of the Company’s Class V common stock do not participate in the earnings or losses of the Company and, therefore, are not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class V common stock under the two-class method has not been presented. Each share of the Company’s Class V common stock gives the holder the right to vote the number of shares corresponding to the number of Post-Merger Repay Units held by that holder, but shares of Class V common stock have no economic rights.
5. Business Disposition
On February 15, 2023, the Company sold Blue Cow Software, LLC and a related entity (“BCS”) within the Consumer Payments segment for cash proceeds of $40.3 million, net of cash retained of $1.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a loss of $10.0 million associated with the sale, comprised of the difference between the consideration received and the net carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of the business within Loss on business disposition in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
In connection with the disposition of BCS, the Company recognized a reduction in goodwill of $35.3 million within the Consumer Payments segment. See Note 8. Goodwill for further discussion. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, BCS contributed $1.2 million to the Consumer Payments segment revenue.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents contains cash on hand, demand deposit accounts, money market accounts and short term investments with original maturities of three months or less. They are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), as the price is obtained from quoted market prices in an active market. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values due to the short maturities and highly liquid nature of these accounts.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820, as the primary component is cash that is used as collateral for debts. The carrying amounts of the Company’s restricted cash approximate their fair values due to the highly liquid nature.
Other assets
Other assets contain a minority equity investment in a privately-held company. The Company elected a measurement alternative for measuring this investment, in which the carrying amount is adjusted based on any observable price changes in orderly transactions. The investment is classified as Level 2 as observable adjustments to value are infrequent and occur in an inactive market.
REPAY HOLDINGS CORPORATION
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Borrowings
The revolving credit facility and convertible senior notes are measured at amortized cost, which the carrying value is unpaid principal net of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs. The estimated fair value of the revolving credit facility approximates the unpaid principal because its interest rate approximates market interest rates. The estimated fair value of convertible senior notes is determined using the quoted prices from over-the-counter markets. The estimated fair value of the Company’s borrowings is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the market interest rates and quoted prices are generally observable and do not contain a high level of subjectivity. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $0 drawn against the revolving credit facility.
The following table provides the carrying value and estimated fair value of borrowings. See Note 9. Borrowings for further discussion on borrowings.

Tax Receivable Agreement
Upon the completion of the Business Combination, the Company entered into the TRA with holders of Post-Merger Repay Units. As a result of the TRA, the Company established a liability in its condensed consolidated financial statements. The TRA is recorded at fair value based on estimates of discounted future cash flows associated with the estimated payments to the Post-Merger Repay Unit holders. These inputs are not observable in the market; thus, the TRA is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, under ASC 820. The change in fair value is re-measured at each reporting period with the change in fair value being recognized in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which is recorded within Change in fair value of tax receivable liability in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company used a discount rate, also referred to as the Early Termination Rate, as defined in the TRA, to determine the present value, based on a risk-free rate plus a spread, pursuant to the TRA. A rate of 6.68% was applied to the forecasted TRA payments at September 30, 2024, in order to determine the fair value. A significant increase or decrease in the discount rate could have resulted in a lower or higher balance, respectively, as of the measurement date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the TRA balance was adjusted by $12.4 million through an exchange, a payment, accretion expense and a valuation adjustment, related to a decrease in the income tax rate used to measure the TRA as of the Early Termination Date and a decrease in the discount rate, which was 7.10% as of December 31, 2023.
The following table provides a rollforward of the TRA related to the acquisition and exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units. See Note 12. Taxation for further discussion on the TRA.

On December 29, 2021, the Company increased its existing senior secured credit facility by $60.0 million to provide for a $185.0 million revolving credit facility in favor of Hawk Parent pursuant to an amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement. The revolving credit facility is guaranteed by Repay Holdings Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries.
On February 9, 2023, the Company further amended the Amended Credit Agreement to replace London Inter-bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) with term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the interest rate benchmark.
On February 28, 2023, the Company repaid in full the entire amount of $20.0 million of the outstanding revolving credit facility. The undrawn capacity of the existing revolving credit facility under the Amended Credit Agreement became $185.0 million after the repayment.
Second Amended Credit Agreement
On July 10, 2024, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”) with certain financial institutions, as lenders, and Truist Bank, as administrative agent. The Second Amended Credit Agreement amends and restates the Amended Credit Agreement. The Second Amended Credit Agreement establishes a $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. This facility matures on the earlier of (a) July 10, 2029, (b) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the 2026 Notes (defined below) (subject to certain exceptions for adequate liquidity) and (c) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the 2029 Notes (defined below) (subject to certain exceptions for adequate liquidity). The maturity date may be extended, subject to certain terms and conditions.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $0 drawn against the revolving credit facility. The Company’s interest expense on the revolving credit facility, including unused commitment fees and amortization of deferred issuance costs, totaled $2.9 million and $4.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Interest expense was $0.9 million and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
Convertible Senior Notes
On January 19, 2021, the Company issued $440.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) in a private placement. The initial conversion rate of any 2026 Notes was 29.7619 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $33.60 per share of Class A common stock). Upon conversion of the 2026 Notes, the Company may choose to pay or deliver cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The 2026 Notes will mature on February 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, repurchased or redeemed. Subject to Nasdaq requirements, the Company controls the conversion rights prior to November 3, 2025, unless a fundamental change or an event of default occurs. On July 8, 2024, the Company repurchased $220.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes at a discount based on the quoted prices from over-the-counter markets, with a cash payment of $205.2 million. The repurchase of the 2026 Notes resulted in a gain of $13.1 million, net of a write-off of debt issuance costs relating to the repurchased principal during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and was recorded within Gain on debt extinguishment in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On July 8, 2024, the Company issued $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. $27.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes were sold in connection with the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase such additional 2029 Notes offering pursuant to the purchase agreement. The net proceeds of the 2029 Notes were $279.2 million after

fees and expenses incurred. The 2029 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.875% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2025. The 2029 Notes will mature on July 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms. The 2029 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders, under certain circumstances and during certain periods, into cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be converted and cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares, at the Company’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes being converted.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the conversion contingencies of the convertible senior notes were not met, and the conversion terms of the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes were not significantly changed.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
The Company is a party to various claims and lawsuits incidental to its business. In the Company’s opinion, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from the outcome of such matters, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, liquidity, results of operations or cash flows.
Leases
The Company has commitments under operating leases for real estate leased from third parties under non-cancelable operating leases. The Company’s leases typically have lease terms between three years and ten years, with the longest lease term having an expiration date in 2035. Most of these leases include one or more renewal options for five years or less, and certain leases also include lessee termination options. At lease commencement, the Company assesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise a renewal option, or reasonably certain not to exercise a termination option, by considering various economic factors. Options that are reasonably certain of being exercised are factored into the

determination of the lease term, and related payments are included in the calculation of the right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability.
On December 31, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment for one of the existing leases to relocate to another space within the building, commencing on August 1, 2024. The landlord provided a construction allowance, in the form of reimbursements, of up to $1.4 million related to approved improvements and renovations of the landlord’s property during the construction period. On July 25, 2024, the Company further amended and restated the agreement which modified the commencement date of the lease to September 1, 2024.
On July 12, 2024, the Company entered an agreement with a third party to sublease one of the operating leases. No impairment test was performed due to the anticipated sublease income exceeding the lease costs for the term of the sublease.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized sublease income of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, within Other (loss) income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

11. Share Based Compensation
Omnibus Incentive Plan
At the 2019 Annual Shareholders Meeting of Thunder Bridge, the shareholders considered and approved the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) which resulted in the reservation of 7,326,728 shares of Class A common stock for issuance thereunder. The Incentive Plan initially became effective immediately upon the closing of the Business Combination. In June 2022, the Incentive Plan was amended and restated to reserve an additional 6,500,000 shares of Class A common stock for issuance thereunder. In May 2024, the Incentive Plan was again amended and restated to reserve an additional 8,400,000 shares of Class A common stock for issuance thereunder.
Under this plan, the Company currently has four types of share-based compensation awards outstanding: performance stock units (“PSUs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based stock options (“PSOs”).
Share-Based Awards
The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense and the related income tax benefit recognized for the Company’s share-based compensation awards. Share-based compensation expenses are recorded within Selling, general and administrative in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

| | | | | | |
On May 30, 2024, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved two PSU grant agreements, with one vesting based on relative total stock return (“TSR PSUs”) and one vesting based on adjusted EBITDA growth (“EBITDA PSUs”). TSR PSUs are based on a performance condition, such that the Company’s total shareholder return relative to a comparator group for the applicable performance period determines the number of shares (if any) that is ultimately issued upon vesting. The grant date fair value of TSR PSUs is estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation. Compensation expense of TSR PSUs generally is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable performance period. EBITDA PSUs are based on a performance condition, such that the growth of the Company’s adjusted EBITDA during each fiscal year within the applicable performance period determines the number of shares (if any) that is ultimately issued upon vesting. The grant date fair value of EBITDA PSUs is based on the quoted market value of the Company’s Class A common stock on the grant date. As the Company determines that the performance condition associated with EBITDA PSUs is probable, the attributable compensation expense generally is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable performance period. If, in the future, it is determined that achieving the performance condition related to EBITDA PSUs is improbable, the Company would reverse any compensation expense recognized to date associated with EBITDA PSUs.
Activity for PSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Class A Common Stock (1) | | | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | |

For PSUs, RSAs, and RSUs vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the total fair value, based upon the Company’s Class A common stock price at the date vested, was $12.0 million. Unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested PSUs, RSAs and RSUs was $32.0 million at September 30, 2024, which is expected to be recognized as expense over the weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

The Company recognized compensation expense for PSOs of $0.2 million and $0.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company recognized compensation expense for PSOs of $0.5 million and $1.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding PSOs was $0.7 million at September 30, 2024, which is expected to be recognized as expense over the weighted-average period of 1.2 years.
The weighted average grant date fair value of PSOs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $2.61. Fair value was estimated on the date of grant using Monte Carlo simulation with the following weighted average assumptions:
| | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 | |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 3.42 | % |
Expected volatility | | | 52.82 | % |
Dividend yield | | | 0 | % |
Expected term (in years) | | | 4.5 | |
The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury security with a maturity equal to the contractual term of seven years. The assumption on expected volatility was based on the average of historical peer group volatilities using daily prices. The dividend yield assumption was determined as 0% since the Company pays no dividends. Expected term was based on the simplified method outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 14, Share-Based Payment due to the fact that Company does not have sufficient historical data upon which to estimate an expected term. Given that the Company’s Class A common stock has been publicly traded for less than seven years, the Company believes that the simplified method is an applicable methodology to estimate the expected term of the options as of the grant date.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On August 18, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the Repay Holdings Corporation 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The purpose of the ESPP is to provide eligible employees with the opportunity to purchase the Company’s Class A common stock through accumulated payroll deductions. A total of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock are available for issuance under the ESPP. Under the ESPP, participants are offered the right to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a discount during a series of offering periods. The length of the offering periods under the ESPP will be determined by the administrator and may be up to twenty-seven months long.

12. Taxation
Repay Holdings Corporation is taxed as a corporation and is subject to paying corporate federal, state and local taxes on the income allocated to it from Hawk Parent, based upon Repay Holding Corporation’s economic interest held in Hawk Parent, as well as any stand-alone income or loss it generates. Hawk Parent is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, Hawk Parent is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Hawk Parent’s members, including Repay Holdings Corporation, are liable for federal, state and local income taxes based on their allocable share of Hawk Parent’s pass-through taxable income.
The Company’s effective tax rate was (18.2)% and 2.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $1.5 million and an income tax benefit of $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes a stock-based compensation adjustments net tax shortfall of $1.7 million related to restricted stock awards vesting and a $0.4 million state rate change impact on deferred taxes. In addition, the effective tax rate includes a net $3.7 million and a ($0.4) million impact related to cancellation of debt income and write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, respectively, associated with the partial repurchase of the 2026 Notes, which are required to be recorded discretely in the interim period in which they occur. The effective tax rate of the Company differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the tax structure of the Company, the relative weighting of the noncontrolling interest, and lower income from operations over the current relevant period, as well as the aforementioned items required to be reported discretely in the interim period. The Company’s effective tax rate was 24% and (3%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2.0 million and an income tax expense of $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes a stock-based compensation adjustments net tax shortfall of $2.4 million related to restricted stock awards vesting, which is required to be recorded discretely in the interim period in which it occurs. In addition, the effective tax rate includes a net tax impact of $5.9 million related to the disposition of BCS, which is required to be recorded discretely in the interim period in which it occurs due to it being a significant, infrequently occurring item disclosed separately in the quarterly financial statements.
The Company recognized adjustments of $1.5 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, of deferred tax assets related to the income tax expense and benefit, respectively, derived from the net operating income generated over the same period. The Company recognized adjustments of $2.0 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, of deferred tax assets related to the income tax benefit and expense, respectively, derived from the net operating income generated over the same period.
Deferred tax assets, net of $157.1 million as of September 30, 2024, relates primarily to the basis difference in the Company’s investment in Hawk Parent. The basis difference arose primarily as a result of the subsequent exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units by the Company. In addition, as a result of the merger with BillingTree on June 15, 2021, an estimated opening deferred tax liability net of $36.1 million, as adjusted, was recorded. The merger was recognized as a Qualified Stock Purchase within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) Section 338(d)(3). As such, no step up in the tax asset basis was permitted creating an estimated net deferred tax liability related to the tax asset basis difference in the investment in Hawk Parent on the opening balance sheet date. Furthermore, as part of the 2029 Notes issuance on July 8, 2024, the Company incurred $39.2 million of costs for privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions to cover the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the 2029 Notes. The capped call had an initial strike price of $13.02 per share and a cap price of $20.42 per share, which is subject to certain adjustments. For Tax purposes, this is considered a tax-efficient capped call (i.e., the capped call is integrated with the 2029 Notes in accordance with Section 1.1275-6 of the Code). As such, the total $39.2 million incurred to acquire the capped call is treated as original issue discount (“OID”) on synthetic debt and eligible for a deduction as interest expense over the life of the instrument, subject to certain limitations under 163(j). As a result of the capped call being booked as equity for GAAP purposes instead of OID on synthetic debt, the Company is required to set up a tax effected deferred tax asset of $9.9 million for the equivalent amount of the capped call. This temporary difference created as a result of the OID Interest Expense deduction is expected to be realized over the term of the instrument.
The Company did not recognize any adjustment to the deferred tax asset (“DTA”) and offsetting deferred tax liability (“DTL”) recorded as a result of the ceiling rule limitation arising under Code Sec. 704(c) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, to account for the portion of the Company’s outside basis in the partnership interest that it will not recover through tax deductions. As the ceiling rule causes taxable income allocations to be in excess of
REPAY HOLDINGS CORPORATION
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
704(b) book allocations the DTL will unwind, leaving only the DTA, which may only be recovered through the sale of the partnership interest in Hawk Parent. The Company has concluded, based on the weight of all positive and negative evidence, that all of the DTA associated with the ceiling rule limitation is not likely to be realized. As such, a 100% valuation allowance was recognized.
No uncertain tax positions existed as of September 30, 2024.
Tax Receivable Agreement Liability
Pursuant to the Company’s election under Section 754 of the Code, the Company expects to obtain an increase in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of Hawk Parent when Post-Merger Repay Units are redeemed or exchanged for Class A common stock of Repay Holdings Corporation. The Company intends to treat any redemptions and exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units as direct purchases for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that the Company would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.
On July 11, 2019, the Company entered into a TRA that provides for the payment by the Company of 100% of the amount of any tax benefits realized, or in some cases are deemed to realize, as a result of (i) increases in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of Hawk Parent resulting from any redemptions or exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units and from its acquisition of the equity of the selling Hawk Parent members, (ii) tax basis increases attributable to payments made under the TRA, and (iii) deductions attributable to imputed interest pursuant to the TRA (the “TRA Payments”). The TRA Payments are not conditioned upon any continued ownership interest in Hawk Parent or the Company. The rights of each party under the TRA other than the Company are assignable. The timing and amount of aggregate payments due under the TRA may vary based on a number of factors, including the timing and amount of taxable income generated by the Company each year, as well as the tax rate then applicable, among other factors.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had a liability of $201.3 million related to its projected obligations under the TRA, which is captioned as tax receivable agreement liability in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The increase of $12.4 million in the TRA liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily a result of the decrease in the Early Termination Rate and accretion, partially offset by a decrease in the tax rate and a payment of the current portion of the TRA liability, as reported at December 31, 2023, over the same period.
13. Segments
The Company organizes its business structure around two operating segments based on review of discrete financial results for each of the operating segments by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), for performance assessment and resource allocation purposes. Each of the Company’s operating segments represents a reportable segment based on ASC 280, Segment Reporting.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Statements under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Overview
We provide integrated payment processing solutions to industry-oriented markets in which clients have specific transaction processing needs. We refer to these markets as “vertical markets” or “verticals.” Our proprietary, integrated payment technology platform reduces the complexity of the electronic payments process for businesses, while enhancing their consumers’ overall experience. We are a payments innovator, differentiated by our proprietary, integrated payment technology platform and our ability to reduce the complexity of the electronic payments for businesses. We intend to continue to strategically target verticals where we believe our ability to tailor payment solutions to our client needs, our deep knowledge of our vertical markets and the embedded nature of our integrated payment solutions will drive strong growth by attracting new clients and fostering long-term client relationships.
We report our financial results based on two reportable segments.
Consumer Payments – Our Consumer Payments segment provides payment processing solutions (including debit and credit card processing, ACH processing and other electronic payment acceptance solutions, as well as our loan disbursement product) that enable our clients to collect payments from and disburse funds to consumers and includes our RCS offering. RCS is our proprietary clearing and settlement platform through which we market customizable payment processing programs to other ISOs and payment facilitators. The strategic vertical markets served by our Consumer Payments segment primarily include personal loans, automotive loans, receivables management, credit unions, mortgage servicing, consumer healthcare and diversified retail.
Business Payments – Our Business Payments segment provides payment processing solutions (including accounts payable automation, debit and credit card processing, virtual credit card processing, ACH processing and other electronic payment acceptance solutions) that enable our clients to collect payments from or send payments to other businesses. The strategic vertical markets served within our Business Payments segment primarily include retail automotive, education, field services, governments and municipalities, healthcare, media, HOA management and hospitality.
Macroeconomic Conditions
We have been monitoring the current economic environment in the U.S. and globally – characterized by heightened inflation (including changes in wages), rising interest rates, supply chain issues, slower growth and recent banking system volatility. Such macroeconomic conditions may continue to evolve in ways that are difficult to fully anticipate and may also include increased levels of unemployment and/or a recession. Some or all of these market factors have and could continue to adversely affect our payment volumes from the consumer loan market, the receivables management industry and consumer and commercial spending. The effect of these events on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. Finally, the impact of all of these various events on our results in the first nine months of 2024 may not be necessarily indicative of their impact on our results for the remainder of 2024.
Business Combination
The Company was formed upon closing of the merger of Hawk Parent with a subsidiary of Thunder Bridge, a special purpose acquisition company, on July 11, 2019. On the closing of the Business Combination, Thunder Bridge changed its name to “Repay Holdings Corporation.”
Key Factors Affecting Our Business
Key factors that we believe impact our business, results of operations and financial condition include, but are not limited to, the following:
•the dollar amount volume and the number of transactions that are processed by the clients that we currently serve;
•our ability to attract new clients and onboard them as active processing clients;
•our ability to (i) successfully integrate recent acquisitions and (ii) complete future acquisitions;
•our ability to offer new and competitive payment technology solutions to our clients; and
•general economic conditions and consumer finance trends.
Key Components of Our Revenues and Expenses
Revenues
Revenue. As our clients process increased volumes of payments, our revenues increase as a result of the fees we charge for processing these payments. Most of our revenues are derived from volume-based payment processing fees (“discount fees”) and other related fixed per transaction fees. Discount fees represent a percentage of the dollar amount of each credit or debit transaction processed and include fees relating to processing and services that we provide. The transaction price for such processing services is determined, based on the judgment of management, considering factors such as margin objectives, pricing practices and controls, client segment pricing strategies, the product life cycle and the observable price of the service charged to similarly situated clients. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our chargeback rate was less than 1% of our card payment volume.
Expenses
Costs of services. Costs of services primarily include commissions to our software integration partners and other third-party processing costs, such as front and back-end processing costs and sponsor bank fees.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries, share-based compensation and other employment costs, professional service fees, rent and utilities, and other operating costs.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense consists of depreciation on our investments in property, equipment and computer hardware. Depreciation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Amortization expense for software development costs and purchased software is recognized on the straight-line method over a three-year estimated useful life, between eight to ten years estimated useful life for client relationships and channel relationships, and between two to five years estimated useful life for non-compete agreements.
Interest income (expense), net. Interest income consists of interest received on our cash and cash equivalents. Interest expense consists of interest paid in respect of our indebtedness under the convertible senior notes.
Change in fair value of tax receivable liability. This amount represents the change in fair value of the tax receivable agreement liability. The TRA liability is carried at fair value; so, any change to the valuation of this liability is recognized through this line in other expense. The change in fair value can result from the redemption or exchange of Post-Merger Repay Units for Class A common stock of Repay Holdings Corporation, through accretion of the discounted fair value of the expected future cash payments, or changes to the discount rate, or Early Termination Rate, used to determine the fair value of the liability.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2023
Revenue
Total revenue was $79.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $74.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $4.8 million or 6.5%. This increase was the result of newly signed clients, the growth of our existing clients, and political media spending associated with the 2024 election cycle in our media payments business.
Costs of Services
Costs of services were $17.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $17.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.1 million or 0.3%.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $36.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $35.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $1.4 million or 4.0%, primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in legal expenses related to the 2029 Notes issuance and a $0.8 million increase in equity compensation expenses related to restricted shares granted.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $25.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $26.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $1.0 million or 3.7%. This decrease was driven by a decrease in amortization of capitalized software.
Interest (Expense) Income, net
Interest (expense) income, net was ($1.3) million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and included ($2.9) million of interest expense and $1.6 million of interest income.

Interest expense increased by $2.0 million compared to the prior year period, due to a higher outstanding principal balance under the convertible senior notes. Interest income increased by $0.8 million compared to the prior year period, due to higher average interest rates earned on our cash and cash equivalents.
Gain on debt extinguishment
We incurred a gain of $13.1 million on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2024, due to the repurchase of $220.0 million of 2026 Notes principal, net of a write-off of debt issuance costs relating to the repurchased principal.

Income Tax Benefit and Expense
The income tax expense was $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This was a result of the operating loss incurred by us, primarily driven by the change in fair value of the tax receivable liability, stock-based compensation deductions and the amortization of assets acquired in the Business Combination and prior acquisitions, offset by stock-based compensation expense net tax shortfall and impact related to cancellation of debt income and write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the partial repurchase of the 2026 Notes, which are required to be recorded discretely in the interim period in which they occur. The income tax benefit was $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which was a result of the operating loss incurred by us, primarily driven by the change in fair value of the tax receivable liability, stock-based compensation deductions and the amortization of assets acquired in the Business Combination and prior acquisitions, offset by stock-based compensation expense net tax shortfall and the impact of the BCS disposition which are both required to be reported discretely in the interim period in which they occur.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income prior to interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to add back certain charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as gain on extinguishment of debt, loss on business disposition, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities, share-based compensation charges, transaction expenses, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs and other non-recurring charges.
Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income prior to amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, as adjusted to add back certain charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as gain on extinguishment of debt, loss on business disposition, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities, share-based compensation expense, transaction expenses, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs, other non-recurring charges, non-cash interest expense and net of tax effect associated with these adjustments. Adjusted Net Income is adjusted to exclude amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Management believes that the adjustment of acquisition-related intangible amortization supplements GAAP financial measures because it allows for greater comparability of operating performance. Although we exclude amortization from acquisition-related intangibles from our non-GAAP expenses, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangibles were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.
Adjusted Net Income per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of the outstanding Post-Merger Repay Units) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (excluding shares subject to forfeiture).
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as management. However, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating profit or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Using these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze our business has material limitations because the calculations are based on the subjective determination of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find significant. In addition, although other companies in our industry may report measures titled Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share or similar measures, such non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from how we calculate our non-GAAP financial measures, which reduces their overall usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
The following tables set forth a reconciliation of our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

(1)Adjusted Net Income is adjusted to exclude amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions (see corresponding adjustments in the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted Net Income presented above). Management believes that the adjustment of acquisition-related intangible amortization supplements GAAP financial measures because it allows for greater comparability of operating performance. Although we exclude amortization from acquisition-related intangibles from our non-GAAP expenses, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangibles were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangibles that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangibles have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangibles.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $35.1 million and $31.9 million, respectively, representing a 10.2% year-over-year increase. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $104.3 million and $93.3 million, representing a 11.8% year-over-year increase.
Adjusted Net Income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $21.2 million and $19.9 million, respectively, representing a 6.8% year-over-year increase. Adjusted Net Income for the nine months ended
September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $65.4 million and $58.6 million, respectively, representing a 11.6% year-over-year increase.
Net income (loss) attributable to the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $3.2 million and ($6.2) million, respectively, representing a 152.6% year-over-year improvement in our profitability. Net loss attributable to the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $6.0 million and $37.2 million, respectively, representing a 83.8% year-over-year improvement in our profitability.
The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income and improvement in net loss attributable to the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were primarily due to the organic growth of our business from newly signed clients, the growth of existing clients, political media spending associated with the 2024 election cycle in our media payments business and cost savings initiatives that reduced both cost of services and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.
Seasonality
We have experienced in the past, and may continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in our revenues as a result of consumer spending and political media spending patterns. Revenues during the first quarter of the calendar year tend to increase in comparison to the remaining three quarters of the calendar year. This increase is due to consumers’ receipt of tax refunds and the increases in repayment activity levels that follow. Operating expenses show less seasonal fluctuation, with the result that net income is subject to the similar seasonal factors as our revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations and working capital through net cash from operating activities. As of September 30, 2024, we had $168.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity of $250.0 million under the Amended Credit Agreement. This balance does not include restricted cash, which reflects cash accounts holding reserves for potential losses and client settlement funds of $46.5 million as of September 30, 2024. Our primary cash needs are to fund working capital requirements, invest in technology development, fund acquisitions and related contingent consideration, make scheduled principal payments and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness and pay tax distributions to members of Hawk Parent. We expect that our cash flow from operations, current cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund our operations and planned capital expenditures and to service our debt obligations for the next twelve months and the following five years.
We are a holding company with no operations and depend on our subsidiaries for cash to fund all of our consolidated operations, including future dividend payments, if any. We depend on the payment of distributions by our current subsidiaries, including Hawk Parent, which distributions may be restricted by law or contractual agreements, including agreements governing their indebtedness. For a discussion of those considerations and restrictions, refer to Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Class A Common Stock” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
On May 16, 2022, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $50 million of our outstanding Class A common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The Share Repurchase Program has no expiration date but may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased 158,496 shares for a total of approximately $1.3 million under the Share Repurchase Program. As of September 30, 2024, we have $36.2 million remaining capacity under the Share Repurchase Program. In addition, in July 2024 we used approximately $40.0 million of proceeds from the offering of 2029 Notes to repurchase approximately 3.9 million shares of Class A common stock.
Cash Flows
The following table presents a summary of cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months ended September 30, | | |
(in $ thousands) | | 2024 | | | 2023 | | |
Net cash provided by operating activities | | $ | 115,838 | | | $ | 68,751 | | |
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities | | | (34,060 | ) | | | 2,533 | | |
Net cash used in financing activities | | | (10,668 | ) | | | (23,457 | ) | |
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $115.8 million and $68.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which reflects net income as adjusted for non-cash operating items including depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and changes in working capital accounts.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $34.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to the capitalization of software development activities.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to cash received from the disposition of BCS, partially offset by the capitalization of software development activities.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $10.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to the repayments of the 2026 Notes, shares repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program and purchase of capped calls related to issuance of the 2029 Notes, offset partially by proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Notes.
Net cash used in financing activities was $23.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to the repayment of the outstanding revolving credit facility balance, payments for tax withholding related to shares vesting under Incentive Plan and ESPP and the CPS earnout payment.
Indebtedness
Amended Credit Agreement
On December 29, 2021, we increased our then existing senior secured credit facilities by $60.0 million to provide for a $185.0 million revolving credit facility pursuant to an amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement. On February 9, 2023, we further amended the Amended Credit Agreement to replace LIBOR with term SOFR as the interest rate benchmark.
On February 28, 2023, we repaid in full the entire amount of $20.0 million of the outstanding revolving credit facility. The undrawn capacity of the existing revolving credit facility under the Amended Credit Agreement became $185.0 million after the repayment.
Second Amended Credit Agreement
On July 10, 2024, we entered into the Second Amended Credit Agreement with certain financial institutions, as lenders, and Truist Bank, as administrative agent. The Second Amended Credit Agreement amends and restates the Amended Credit Agreement, dated as of February 3, 2021. The Amended Credit Agreement consisted of a senior secured revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $185.0 million. The Second Amended Credit Agreement establishes a $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. This facility matures on the earlier of (a) July 10, 2029, (b) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the 2026 Notes (subject to certain exceptions for adequate
liquidity) and (c) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the 2029 Notes (subject to certain exceptions for adequate liquidity). The maturity date may be extended, subject to certain terms and conditions.
As of September 30, 2024, the Second Amended Credit Agreement provided for a revolving credit facility of $185.0 million. As of September 30, 2024, we had $0 million drawn against the revolving credit facility. We paid $0.2 million and $0.4 million in fees related to unused commitments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. We paid $0.1 million and $0.4 million in fees related to unused commitments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
Convertible Senior Notes
On January 19, 2021, we issued $440.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of such 2026 Notes were sold in the 2026 Notes offering in connection with the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase such additional 2026 Notes pursuant to the purchase agreement. Upon conversion, we may choose to pay or deliver cash, shares of our Class A Common Stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our Class A Common Stock. The 2026 Notes will mature on February 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, repurchased or redeemed. On July 8, 2024, we used approximately $200.0 million of proceeds from the offering of 2029 Notes and approximately $5.1 million of cash on hand to repurchase $220.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes in connection with the 2029 Notes offering.
On July 8, 2024, we issued $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. $27.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes were sold in connection with the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase such additional 2029 Notes offering pursuant to the purchase agreement. We will settle conversions of the 2029 Notes by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be converted and cash, shares of Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares, at our election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes being converted. The 2029 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.875% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2025. The 2029 Notes will mature on July 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms.
As of September 30, 2024, we had convertible senior notes outstanding of $496.2 million, net of deferred issuance costs, under the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes. We were in compliance with the related restrictive financial covenants. Additionally, we currently expect that we will remain in compliance with the restrictive financial covenants under the 2026 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the Second Amended Credit Agreement, prospectively.
Tax Receivable Agreement
Upon the completion of the Business Combination, we entered into the TRA with holders of Post-Merger Repay Units. As a result of the TRA, we established a liability in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Such liability, which will increase upon the redemptions or exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units for our Class A common stock, generally represents 100% of the estimated future tax benefit, if any, relating to the increase in tax basis that will result from redemptions or exchanges of the Post-Merger Repay Units for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and certain other tax attributes of the Company and tax benefits of entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the TRA.
Under the terms of the TRA, we may elect to terminate the TRA early but will be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future cash tax savings. As a result, the associated liability reported on our condensed consolidated financial statements may be increased. We expect that the payment obligations required under the TRA will be substantial. The actual increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of redemptions or exchanges by the holders of Post-Merger Repay Units, the price of our Class A common stock at the time of the redemption or exchange, whether such redemptions or exchanges are taxable, the amount and timing of the taxable income we generate in the future, the tax rate then applicable and the portion of our payments under the TRA constituting imputed interest. We expect to fund the payment of the amounts due under the TRA out of the cash savings that we actually realize in respect of the
attributes to which TRA relates. However, the payments required to be made could be in excess of the actual tax benefits that we realize and there can be no assurance that we will be able to finance our obligations under the TRA.
Critical Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and critical accounting estimates for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, for a complete discussion of critical accounting policies and critical accounting estimates.
For information related to recent accounting pronouncements and the impact of these pronouncements on our condensed consolidated financial statements, see Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Effects of Inflation
While inflation may impact our revenues and cost of services, we believe the effects of inflation, if any, on our results of operations and financial condition have not been significant. However, there can be no assurance that our results of operations and financial condition will not be materially impacted by inflation in the future.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including U.S. fiscal and monetary policies and domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors beyond our control. Interest rate risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in the level of interest rates and the spread between different interest rates. We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on debt, which bears interest at variable rates. Our debt has floating interest rates. We are exposed to changes in the level of interest rates and to changes in the relationship or spread between interest rates for its floating rate debt. Our floating rate debt requires payments based on variable interest rates such as the federal funds rate, prime rate, eurocurrency rate, and SOFR. Therefore, increases in interest rates may reduce our net income or loss by increasing the cost of debt. As of September 30, 2024, we had convertible senior notes of $496.2 million, net of deferred issuance costs outstanding. As of December 31, 2023, we had convertible senior notes of $434.2 million, net of deferred issuance costs, outstanding. The borrowings under the Second Amended Credit Agreement accrue interest at either base rate, described above under “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness,” plus a margin of 0.75% to 1.75% or at an adjusted SOFR rate plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.75% under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, in each case depending on the total net leverage ratio, as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement.
We may incur additional borrowings from time to time for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Invoices for our services are denominated in U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars. We do not expect our future operating results to be significantly affected by foreign currency transaction risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time we are named as a defendant in legal actions arising from our normal business activities. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of lawsuits, investigations and claims asserted against us, we do not believe any currently pending legal proceeding to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, other than as set forth below.
Our level of indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to meet our obligations under our indebtedness, react to changes in the economy or our industry and to raise additional capital to fund operations.
On July 10, 2024, we increased our existing senior secured credit facilities to a $250.0 million revolving credit facility pursuant to an amendment to the revolving credit agreement with Truist Bank and certain other lenders. On January 19, 2021, we issued $440.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes. On July 8, 2024, we repurchased $220.0 million of the 2026 Notes. Additionally, on July 8, 2024, we issued $287.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2029 Notes. Our ability to service our obligations under our indebtedness, including the 2026 Notes, the 2029 Notes and any indebtedness we may incur under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. If we are unable to generate the necessary cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional debt financing or equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive.
Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations, and such level of indebtedness could have important consequences to our stockholders.
We may also incur future debt obligations that might subject us to additional restrictive covenants that could affect our financial and operational flexibility.
We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the 2026 Notes or the 2029 Notes, or to repurchase the 2026 Notes or the 2029 Notes upon a fundamental change, and our future debt may contain, limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversion or repurchase of the 2026 Notes and the 2029 Notes.
Holders of the 2026 Notes and the 2029 Notes (together “Notes”) have the right to require us to repurchase their Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change at a repurchase price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Upon conversion of the 2026 Notes, unless we elect to cause to be delivered solely shares of our Class A common stock to settle such conversion, we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the 2026 Notes being converted. In addition, upon conversion of the 2029 Notes, we will be required to make cash payments up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes being converted and in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation, we may elect to make cash payments or deliver shares of our Class A common stock, or a combination, to settle such conversion. However, we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make repurchases of the Notes surrendered therefor or to pay cash with respect to the Notes being converted.
In addition, our ability to repurchase the Notes or to pay cash upon conversion of the Notes may be limited by law, by regulatory authority or by agreements governing our future indebtedness. Our failure to repurchase the Notes at a time when the repurchase is required by the indenture governing the 2026 Notes and the indenture governing the 2029 Notes (together the “indentures”) or to pay any cash payable on future conversions of the Notes as required by the indentures, would constitute a default under the indentures. A default under the indentures, or the fundamental change itself, could also lead to a default under our Second Amended Credit Agreement and other agreements governing our existing or future indebtedness. If the repayment of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness, repurchase, make interest payments on or make cash payments upon conversion of the Notes.
The conditional conversion feature of the Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
In the event the conditional conversion feature of the 2026 Notes is triggered, holders of the 2026 Notes will be entitled to convert their 2026 Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their 2026 Notes, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our Class A common stock, we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their 2026 Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the 2026 Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.
In the event the conditional conversion feature of the 2029 Notes is triggered, holders of the 2029 Notes will be entitled to convert their 2026 Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their notes, we would be required to settle any converted principal amount of such notes through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.
Provisions in the indentures could delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover of the Company
Certain provisions of the Notes and the indentures could make a third party attempt to acquire us more difficult or expensive. For example, if a takeover constitutes a fundamental change, then we will be required to make an offer to the holders of the Notes to repurchase for cash all or part of their outstanding Notes. In addition, if a takeover constitutes a make-whole fundamental change, then we may be required to increase the conversion rate temporarily. In either case, and in other cases, our obligations under the Notes could increase the cost of acquiring us or otherwise discourage a third party from acquiring us or removing incumbent management, including in a transaction that you may view as favorable.
Future issuances or sales of substantial amounts of our Class A common stock in the public market, or the perception that such issuances or sales may occur, could cause the market price for our Class A common stock to decline.
Hawk Parent has outstanding an aggregate of 5,728,480 Post-Merger Repay Units as of September 30, 2024. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Repay Unitholders have the right to elect to exchange such Post-Merger Repay Units into shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to the terms of the Exchange Agreement. However, Hawk Parent may elect to settle such exchange in cash in lieu of delivering shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement.
In addition, we have reserved a total of 22,226,728 shares of Class A common stock for issuance under our Incentive Plan. To the extent such shares have vested or vest in the future (and settle into shares, in the case of restricted
stock units), they can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to volume limitations applicable to affiliates.
If these stockholders exercise their sale or exchange rights and sell shares or are perceived by the market as intending to sell shares, the market price of our shares of Class A common stock could drop significantly. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through offerings of our shares of Class A common stock or other securities at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.
We also have outstanding $220.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes and $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of our 2029 Notes which are convertible into shares of our Class A common stock in certain circumstances. Investors will incur further dilution upon the conversion of any of our Notes if we elect to deliver shares of Class A common stock upon such conversion. In the future, we may also issue additional securities in connection with investments, acquisitions or capital raising activities, which could constitute a material portion of our then-outstanding shares of our Class A common stock and may result in additional dilution to investors or adversely impact the price of our Class A common stock.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
The following table summarizes such purchases of Class A common stock made by us or any “affiliate purchaser” (as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) of the Exchange Act) for the three months ended September 30, 2024:

The Share Repurchase Program has no expiration date but may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion. Repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) adopted, modified or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement
or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act of 1933), except as follows:
On September 6, 2024, Tim Murphy, our Chief Financial Officer, adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) for the sale of up to 285,000 shares of our Class A common stock. The duration of this trading arrangement is until September 4, 2025 (or earlier if all transactions under the trading arrangement have been completed or certain other events occur).
On November 5, 2024, Peter J. Kight notified the Company that he will retire from the board of directors and will not stand for reelection at our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Kight will remain a director of the Company until the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, which we expect to occur in May 2025. Mr. Kight’s decision to not stand for reelection was not related to any disagreement with the Company on any matter related to our operations, policies or practices.
