**CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report") contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report, including, without limitation, statements relating to our position as a leader within our industry, our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans, the anticipated benefits of and costs associated with recent acquisitions and the timing of pending acquisitions, objectives of management for future operations and activities, including, among others, statements regarding expected growth, international expansion, future capital expenditures, debt covenant compliance, financing activities, debt service obligations, the Simplification Transactions, the Company Benefits, future negotiations with our Founder, and the timing of any of the foregoing, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "could," "intend," "target," "project," "contemplate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions, though not all forward-looking statements can be identified by such terms or expressions. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are subject to a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, those factors described in the sections titled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this Quarterly Report as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed on February 27, 2026 (the "2025 Form 10-K").

Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties.

You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we reference herein completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

**SHIFT4 PAYMENTS, INC.**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(Unaudited) (in millions of $USD, except share and per share amounts)*

**1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies**

**Organization**

Shift4 Payments, Inc. ("Shift4 Payments" or "the Company") was incorporated in Delaware in order to carry on the business of Shift4 Payments, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company is a leading independent provider of software and payment processing solutions in the United States ("U.S.") based on total volume of payments processed, as well as a global leader in tax-free shopping ("TFS").

**Basis of Presentation**

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP") and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information. These financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The December 31, 2025 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP applicable to interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or future periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as disclosed in the Company's 2025 Form 10-K.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shift4 Payments, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Shift4 Payments, Inc. consolidates the financial results of Shift4 Payments, LLC, which was considered a variable interest entity prior to the Up-C Collapse (as defined below). Subsequent to the Up-C Collapse, Shift4 Payments, Inc. is the sole beneficiary and managing member of Shift4 Payments, LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The assets and liabilities of Shift4 Payments, LLC represent substantially all of the consolidated assets and liabilities of Shift4 Payments, Inc. with the exception of certain cash balances, amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA"), $633 million of 2027 Convertible Notes, and 10,423,296 shares (representing approximately $1.0 billion initial liquidation preference) of Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that are held by Shift4 Payments, Inc. directly. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, an immaterial amount and $133 million of cash, respectively, was directly held by Shift4 Payments, Inc. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the TRA liability was $247 million and $369 million, respectively. On February 7, 2026, the Company entered into a Transaction Agreement with Shift Payments, LLC, Jared Isaacman, the Company's founder, former Chief Executive Officer, and former Executive Chairman ("Founder"), and Rook Holdings Inc. ("Rook"), a corporation wholly-owned by the Founder and for which the Founder is the sole stockholder, (the "Transaction Agreement") to effect, among other things, the collapse of its former "Up-C" structure (the "Up-C Collapse") via a taxable exchange, and the assignment and waiver of Rook's rights under the TRA to the Company (the "Simplification Transactions"). In connection with the issuance of the 2027 Convertible Notes, Shift4 Payments, Inc. entered into Intercompany Convertible Notes with Shift4 Payments, LLC, whereby Shift4 Payments, Inc. contributed the proceeds from the issuance of the 2027 Convertible Notes to Shift4 Payments, LLC in the amount of $633 million. In connection with the issuances of the Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, Shift4 Payments, Inc. received issuances of 10,423,296 units of Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Mirror Units ("Mirror Units") from Shift4 Payments, LLC, in exchange for Shift4 Payments, Inc. contributing the proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to Shift4 Payments, LLC in the amount of approximately $1.0 billion. Shift4 Payments, Inc., which was incorporated on November 5, 2019, has not had any material operations on a standalone basis since its inception, and all of the operations of the Company are carried out by Shift4 Payments, LLC and its subsidiaries.

***Change in Presentation of Financial Information***

All amounts in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are presented in millions of U.S. dollars, rounded to the nearest whole million, except per share amounts, percentages, and where otherwise noted.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i23fb6d7dbd1e40ee9e07dfb7378b44b7_7)</u> 

***Change in Presentation of Earnings per Share***

In prior periods, the Company presented basic and diluted net income per share separately for Class A and Class C common stock. In the current period, the Company elected to present a single net income per share amount for these classes as they have identical economic rights. Prior period amounts have been conformed to the current presentation.

***Change in Presentation of Consolidated Balance Sheets***

Prior period balances have been adjusted to present "Residual commission buyouts, net" within the line item "Other intangible assets, net" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to conform to the current period presentation.

Prior period balances have been adjusted to present "Collateral held by the card networks" within the line item "Other noncurrent assets" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to conform to the current period presentation.

Prior period balances have been adjusted to present "Deferred revenue" within the line item "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to conform to the current period presentation.

***Change in Presentation of Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows***

Prior period balances have been adjusted to present "Deferred revenue" within the line item "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to conform to the current period presentation.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates of fair value of acquired assets and liabilities through business combinations, fair value of contingent liabilities related to earnout payments, deferred income tax valuation allowances, amounts associated with the Company's tax receivable agreement with Rook and certain affiliates of Searchlight Capital Partners, L.P. (together, the "Continuing Equity Owners"), allowance for doubtful accounts, income taxes, and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests. Estimates are based on past experience and other considerations reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

**Significant Accounting Policies**

The Company's significant accounting policies are discussed in the 2025 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these policies which have had a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***

The following table provides a reconciliation between cash and cash equivalents on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, 2026** | **December 31, 2025** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $473 | $964 |
| Cash and cash equivalents included in Settlement assets | 450 | 221 |
| Total cash and cash equivalents on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows | $923 | $1185 |

---

***Net Investment Hedge***

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk primarily from its net investment in foreign subsidiaries whose functional currencies are different from the U.S. dollar. To manage this exposure and mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has designated its €1.1 billion (or $1.3 billion in U.S. dollars) of Euro-denominated 5.50% Senior Notes due 2033 as a net investment hedge in accordance with ASC 815, *Derivatives and Hedging*. This hedge is intended to offset changes in the carrying amount of the Company's net investment in Global Blue attributable to foreign currency exchange rate movements. The change in the fair value of the 2033 Euro Notes attributable to changes in the spot foreign exchange rate is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income to offset the translation adjustment arising from the hedged net investment in Global Blue. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the amount recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income related to its net investment hedge amounted to $26 million.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i23fb6d7dbd1e40ee9e07dfb7378b44b7_7)</u> 

The Company assesses hedge effectiveness based on changes in the spot rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro on the notional amount of the debt compared with changes in the spot rate applied to the carrying amount of the net investment. The hedging relationship has been deemed highly effective during all periods presented.

***Accounts Receivable Factoring***

A portion of the Company's TFS operation in Europe is party to a factoring agreement to sell certain receivables to an unrelated third-party financial institution on a non-recourse basis. These transactions are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 860, *Transfers and Servicing*, and result in a derecognition in accounts receivable because the factoring agreement transfers effective control over the receivables, and related risk, to the buyer. The Company's only continuing involvement with the sold receivables is providing collection services related to the transferred assets. In addition, the Company has an ongoing obligation to repurchase receivables in the event of representation or warranty violations or other disputes. Cash received from the factoring agreement is recorded as an increase to cash and a reduction to accounts receivable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and presented through the change in accounts receivable within operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Factoring interest and fees are included in "General and administrative expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company factored approximately $75 million of receivables during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

*Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted*

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,* which requires additional disclosure of certain amounts included in the expense captions presented on the Statements of Operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Besides the additional disclosures noted above, the Company does not believe ASU 2024-03 will have a significant impact on its financial statement disclosures.

**2. Revenue** 

The Company's revenue is comprised primarily of payments-based revenue, which includes fees for payment processing, dynamic currency conversion, and gateway services. These fees are primarily recognized over time and are primarily driven as a percentage of dollar volume of transactions, while also varying due to factors such as the type of merchant and country.

For TFS services, the Company provides a solution that facilitates the VAT refund process for both merchants and travelers. Specifically, the traveler receives a refund of the total VAT paid, less a commission, which varies based on a number of factors such as the merchant, country and amount of purchase. TFS revenue is recognized net, as the Company is considered an agent. TFS revenue is recognized at a point in time, upon receipt of a customs-validated tax refund transaction from the traveler or applicable local customs authority or upon the traveler reimbursement, which establishes the right to a VAT refund.

Subscription and other revenue includes software as a service ("SaaS") fees for point of sale ("POS") systems and terminals provided to merchants. POS and terminal SaaS fees are primarily recognized over time and are assessed based on the type and quantity of equipment deployed to the merchant. SaaS fees also include statement fees, fees for the Company's proprietary business intelligence software, revenue derived from hardware sales, software license sales, third-party residuals, fees charged for technology support, and other recurring fees.

*Disaggregated Revenue*

The following table presents a disaggregation of the Company's revenue from contracts with customers based on similar operational characteristics:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |
| | **2026** | **2025** |
| Payments-based revenue | $917 | $756 |
| TFS revenue | 102 |  |
| Subscription and other revenue | 102 | 92 |
| Total | $1121 | $848 |

---

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i23fb6d7dbd1e40ee9e07dfb7378b44b7_7)</u> 

*Contract Liabilities*

The Company charges merchants for various post-contract license support and service fees. These fees typically relate to a period of one year. The Company recognizes the revenue on a straight-line basis over its respective period. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had deferred revenue of $16 million and $15 million, respectively, and are reflected within "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" and "Other noncurrent liabilities" in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

**3. Acquisitions**

Each of the following acquisitions was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The respective purchase prices were allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired, which cannot be individually identified or separately recognized. Supplemental pro forma financial information has not been provided for Bambora as the acquisition was not considered material.

***Bambora***

On March 2, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Worldline's North American subsidiaries ("Bambora") for approximately $92 million in cash. Bambora serves over 140,000 merchants across the United States and Canada. Bambora's gateway supports a mix of online and in-person payments across multiple specialized verticals. Total purchase consideration was as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Cash | $92 |
| Less: cash acquired <sup>(a)</sup> | (8) |
| Total purchase consideration, net of cash acquired | $84 |
| <sup>(a)</sup> Excludes settlement-related cash of $185 million. | <sup>(a)</sup> Excludes settlement-related cash of $185 million. |

---

The following table summarizes the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. These amounts reflect various preliminary fair value estimates and assumptions, and are subject to change within the measurement period as valuations are finalized. The primary areas of preliminary purchase price allocation subject to change relate to the valuation of goodwill, other intangible assets, deferred tax assets, and deferred tax liabilities.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Settlement assets <sup>(a)</sup> | $326 |
| Accounts receivable | 6 |
| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 1 |
| Goodwill <sup>(b)</sup> | 33 |
| Other intangible assets | 67 |
| Deferred tax assets | 1 |
| Accounts payable | (5) |
| Settlement liabilities | (326) |
| Accrued expenses and other current liabilities | (1) |
| Deferred tax liabilities | (18) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net assets acquired | $84 |

The following table provides further detail on other intangible assets acquired:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Merchant relationships | $64 |
| Acquired technology | 3 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other intangible assets | $67 |

---

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i23fb6d7dbd1e40ee9e07dfb7378b44b7_7)</u> 

The fair values of other intangible assets were estimated using inputs classified as Level 3 under the income approach using the multi-period excess earnings method for merchant relationships and the relief-from-royalty method for acquired technology. This transaction was not taxable for income tax purposes. Management's estimates of fair value are primarily based upon assumptions related to projected revenues, and earnings before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margins. The estimated life of merchant relationships and acquired technology are fifteen and three years, respectively. The goodwill arising from the acquisition largely consisted of revenue synergies associated with a larger total addressable market.

***Global Blue***

In the third quarter of 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Global Blue Group Holding AG ("Global Blue"). Global Blue is a leading payments and technology platform, primarily providing TFS, dynamic currency conversion, and payments solutions to the world's largest retail brands, which significantly increases the Company's overall customer base and geographic footprint, while diversifying its revenue.

The following unaudited pro forma results of operations have been prepared to give effect to the Global Blue acquisition as though it occurred on January 1, 2025. The pro forma amounts reflect certain adjustments, such as expenses related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only, is based on available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable to reflect the impact of the acquisition on the Company's historical financial information on a supplemental pro forma basis, and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have actually been reported had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2025, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of operations of the combined company. The timing of transaction costs has been updated to be reflected in the pro forma results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

| Net income (loss) | $15 | $(34) |

---

The amount of revenue and net income from Global Blue included in the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $152 million and $3 million, respectively. Net income attributable to Global Blue excludes the increased interest expense related to the Company's recent financings.

*Credit Facilities*

On January 5, 2026, Shift4 Payments, LLC (the "Borrower") entered into an Amendment No. 3 to its Second Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement, with Goldman Sachs Bank USA and the lenders party thereto. As a result of the Amendment No. 3, the applicable interest rate margin over the relevant benchmark rate on the Borrower's term loans has been, (a) in the case of term loans that bear interest with reference to term SOFR, reduced from 2.50% per annum under the Credit Agreement to 2.00% per annum under the Amended Credit Agreement and (b) in the case of alternate base rate loans, reduced from between 1.50% per annum under the Credit Agreement to 1.00% per annum under the Amended Credit Agreement.

**6. Stockholders' Equity**

***Stock Repurchases***

In November 2025, the Board authorized a new stock repurchase program, replacing the prior program, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion of shares of its Class A common stock through December 31, 2026 (the "November 2025 Program").

Repurchases under the November 2025 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. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares pursuant to the November 2025 Program.

The November 2025 Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock. The November 2025 Program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 5,485,241 shares of Class A common stock for $295 million, including commissions, at an average price of $53.82 per share.

As of March 31, 2026, $400 million remained available for stock repurchases under the November 2025 Program.

***Preferred Stock***

The Company's 6.00% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Preferred Stock") is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker "FOUR.PRA" and ranks senior to all classes of the Company's common stock with respect to dividend payments and distributions upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company.

In February 2026, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the Company issued 423,296 shares of its Preferred Stock to the Founder in a private placement.

As of March 31, 2026, 10,423,296 shares of Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.

**7. Noncontrolling Interests**

***Non-Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests***

*Rook*

Shift4 Payments, Inc. is the sole managing member of Shift4 Payments, LLC and consolidates its financial results. The economic interest in Shift4 Payments, LLC held by Rook amounted to $385 million as of December 31, 2025 and was recorded as a non-redeemable noncontrolling interest.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | 79328812 | 100.0% | 84591174 | 100.0% |

---

In February 2026, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the following transactions occurred: (i) Rook effected a redemption and exchange of all of its equity common units in Shift4 Payments, LLC on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock and cancelled the corresponding shares of Class B common stock, (ii) Mr. Isaacman exchanged all of his shares of Class C common stock on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock, (iii) Rook assigned all of its rights and benefits under the TRA to the Company, and each of Rook and the Company waived any rights they may have to any tax benefit payments; and (iv) Mr. Isaacman agreed to the waiver by Rook of its rights under Section 4 of the Stockholders Agreement, dated June 4, 2020, among the Company, Rook, and Searchlight. Accordingly, the carrying value of Rook's noncontrolling interest was reclassed to "Additional paid-in capital" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

*Global Blue*

The noncontrolling interests in certain subsidiaries of Global Blue Group Holding AG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, are accounted for as a non-redeemable noncontrolling interest, representing third-party ownership in entities where Global Blue maintains control but holds less than 100% equity interest. Profits, losses, and other comprehensive income are allocated to noncontrolling interests based on ownership percentages. Certain noncontrolling interest holders own put options to sell their ownership interests to Global Blue, treated as potential liabilities if exercisable. In addition, certain noncontrolling interest holders receive periodic distributions, included within "Distributions to noncontrolling interests" on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The following table summarizes the carrying values and minority ownership of each Global Blue subsidiary in which it holds less than 100% equity interest:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, 2026** | **March 31, 2026** |
| | **Noncontrolling Interests Carrying Value** | **Noncontrolling Ownership %** |
| Global Blue TPS Japan Co Ltd | $117 | 49% |
| Global Blue Lebanon SAL |  | 45% |
| Global Blue Brasil TFS Ltda. |  | 40% |
| Global Blue Touristik Hizmetler A.Ş. | 1 | 40% |
| Global Blue Pazarlama Destek ve Teknoloji Hizmetleri A.Ş. |  | 40% |
| Bahama's VAT Refund Ltd |  | 20% |
| Global Blue LLC | (1) | 40% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $117 |  |

---

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net income attributable to the Global Blue noncontrolling interests amounted to $2 million, and there were no distributions.

***Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests***

In June 2024, the Company acquired a majority stake in Vectron Systems AG ("Vectron"), a German corporation providing POS systems, POS software, and digital and cloud-based services worldwide. The Company consolidates 100% of Vectron's assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In June 2025, Arrow HoldCo GmbH ("Arrow HoldCo"), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, and Vectron entered into a domination and profit and loss transfer agreement ("DPLTA"), with Arrow HoldCo as the controlling company and Vectron as the controlled company.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i23fb6d7dbd1e40ee9e07dfb7378b44b7_7)</u> 

As of March 31, 2026, the Company owned approximately 91% of Vectron's common stock. The 9% economic interest in Vectron not held by the Company amounted to $10 million as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The redeemable noncontrolling interest was calculated as the redemption amount of the shares not owned by the Company as of each date, plus accrued dividends payable.

Under the DPLTA, each minority shareholder of Vectron was granted the right to tender their shares for a cash redemption payment of €10.93 per share at any time. As this redemption right is outside the control of the Company, the related noncontrolling interest is classified as "Redeemable noncontrolling interests", which is presented in the mezzanine section of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets between liabilities and equity. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is measured at the greater of the redemption value or adjusted carrying amount, and is subject to foreign currency translation adjustments and periodic accretion to its redemption amount.

In addition, the DPLTA entitles minority shareholders who do not redeem their shares to receive an annual guaranteed dividend of €0.47 per share. This fixed, non-discretionary payment qualifies as a participating security preference and is treated as a reduction to net income attributable to common stockholders. Although the dividend is legally paid on an annual basis, this obligation is required to be accrued on a straight-line basis beginning on the registration date.

There were no material changes to the Company's redeemable noncontrolling interests during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

**13. Equity-based Compensation**

The Company recognized equity-based compensation expense of $16 million and $26 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

*2020 Incentive Award Plan*

The Company's 2020 Incentive Award Plan, as amended and restated in June 2022 (the "Restated Equity Plan"), provides for the grant of restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance restricted stock units ("PRSUs"), stock options, dividend equivalent awards, stock payments, stock appreciation rights, and other stock or cash awards. The number of shares available for issuance is subject to an annual increase on the first day of each year beginning in 2023 and ending in and including 2032, equal to the lesser of (1) 2% of the shares outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (2) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Board.

As of March 31, 2026, a maximum of 2,848,962 shares of the Company's Class A common stock were available for issuance under the Restated Equity Plan.

*RSUs and PRSUs*

RSUs and PRSUs represent the right to receive shares of the Company's Class A common stock at a specified date in the future. The RSU and PRSU activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended March 31, 2026** | **Three Months Ended March 31, 2026** |
| | **Number of**<br>**RSUs and PRSUs** | **Weighted Average<br>Grant Date<br>Fair Value** |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Granted | 1540604 | 44.07 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vested | (369118) | 82.75 |

| Unvested balance at March 31, 2026 | 3066728 | $59.33 |

---

The grant date fair value of RSUs and PRSUs subject to continued service or those that vest immediately was determined based on the price of the Company's Class A common stock on the grant date.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $150 million of total unrecognized equity-based compensation expense related to outstanding RSUs and PRSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years.

**14. Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share**

Basic net income (loss) per share has been computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the same period. Shares issued during the period and shares reacquired during the period are weighted for the portion of the period in which the shares were outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share has been computed in a manner consistent with that of basic net income (loss) per share while giving effect to all shares of potentially dilutive common stock that were outstanding during the period. The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share under the two-class method:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |
| | **2026** | **2025** |
| Net income | $12 | $20 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Less: Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests | 3 | (3) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Less: Preferred dividends | (16) |  |
| Net income (loss) attributable to Class A and Class C common stockholders - basic <sup>(a)</sup> | (1) | 17 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Reallocation of net income from non-redeemable noncontrolling interests to Class A and Class C common stockholders due to effect of dilutive securities <sup>(a)</sup> |  | 2 |
| Net income (loss) attributable to Class A and Class C common stockholders - diluted <sup>(a)</sup> | $(1) | $19 |
| Weighted average shares of Class A and Class C common stock outstanding - basic <sup>(a)</sup> | 73641439 | 69152460 |
| Effect of dilutive securities: |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;LLC Interests | N/A | 19801028 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;RSUs and PRSUs |  | 1324385 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;2025 Convertible Notes | N/A | 1878115 |
| Weighted average shares of Class A and Class C common stock outstanding - diluted <sup>(a)</sup> | 73641439 | 92155988 |
| **Net income (loss) per share attributable to Class A and Class C common stockholders:** <sup>(a)</sup> |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Basic | $(0.01) | $0.24 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Diluted | $(0.01) | $0.20 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)In prior periods, the Company presented basic and diluted net income per share separately for Class A and Class C common stock. In the current period, the Company elected to present a single net income (loss) per share amount for these classes as they have identical economic rights. Prior period amounts have been conformed to the current presentation.

Diluted EPS was computed using the "treasury stock" method for RSUs and the "if-converted" method for convertible instruments.

The Company has excluded the conversion of the Preferred Stock and the conversion of the 2027 Convertible Notes from the calculation of diluted net income per share, as the effect of either would be anti-dilutive.

**15. Fair Value Measurement**

U.S. GAAP defines a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The Company determines the fair values of its assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in accordance with the hierarchy described below. The following three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include items where the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The Company makes recurring fair value measurements of contingent liabilities arising from certain acquisitions using Level 3 unobservable inputs. Contingent liabilities included in the purchase price of an acquisition are based on achievement of specified performance metrics as defined in the purchase agreement.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i23fb6d7dbd1e40ee9e07dfb7378b44b7_7)</u> 

*Contingent Consideration*

The Company's acquisitions often include contingent consideration, or earnout, provisions. The total fair value of contingent consideration related to six different acquisitions as of March 31, 2026 was $13 million, of which $9 million is included in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" and $4 million is included within "Other noncurrent liabilities" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in fair value of these liabilities is included in "Revaluation of contingent liabilities" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Each of these fair value measurements utilize Level 3 inputs, such as projected merchants acquired, projected revenues, discount rates and other subjective inputs.

There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The table below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the Level 3 contingent liabilities:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended March 31, 2026** |
| Balance at beginning of period | $14 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Impact of foreign exchange | (1) |
| Balance at end of period | $13 |

The estimated fair value of the Company's investments in non-marketable equity securities was $5 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These non-marketable equity investments have no readily determinable fair values and are measured using the measurement alternative, which is defined as cost, less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes from orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Adjustments for these investments, if any, are recorded in "Gain on investments in securities" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 include cash and cash equivalents, settlement assets, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, other noncurrent assets, settlement liabilities, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and other noncurrent liabilities, as their estimated fair values reasonably approximate their carrying value as reported on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

**16. Income Taxes** 

The Company's effective tax rate was not meaningful for the three months ended March 31, 2026 due to recognizing near breakeven income before taxes, a discrete tax benefit impacting the Company's valuation allowance resulting from the Simplification Transactions, and the mix of income and valuation allowances in various jurisdictions. The Company's effective tax rate was (71)% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the net income allocated to non-redeemable noncontrolling interests and the impact of certain legal entity restructurings.

*Uncertain Tax Positions*

The effects of uncertain tax positions are recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements if these positions meet a "more-likely-than-not" threshold. There have been no material changes to uncertain tax positions since December 31, 2025. Uncertain tax positions are recognized within "Other noncurrent liabilities" in the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

*Tax Receivable Agreement*

On February 7, 2026, the Company entered into a Transaction Agreement to effect, among other things, the Up-C Collapse via a taxable exchange and the assignment and waiver of Rook's rights under the TRA to the Company. As a result, $120 million of TRA liability was reduced and recorded to "Additional paid-in capital" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, reflecting the amount of future TRA payments attributable to Rook. The estimation of liability under the TRA is by its nature imprecise and subject to significant assumptions regarding the amount, character, and timing of the taxable income of Shift4 Payments, Inc. in the future. Changes in tax laws or rates could also materially impact the estimated liability.

*Developments in Tax Law*

In December 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") issued model rules for a new global minimum tax framework ("Pillar Two"), and various governments around the world have passed, or are in the process of passing, legislation on this. Certain Pillar Two rules started taking effect in 2024, depending on whether a particular jurisdiction had integrated the legislation into local law. The Company is continuing to monitor these impacts on its operating footprint and estimated an increase in income tax expense associated with jurisdictions that have implemented an Income Inclusion Rule ("IIR") or a Qualifying Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax ("QDMTT") for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Furthermore, on January 5, 2026, the OECD released a comprehensive package for a "side-by-side arrangement" ("SbS") with respect to Pillar Two. This package, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, implements a SbS Safe Harbor. The SbS Safe Harbor deems top-up tax as zero for IIR and Undertaxed Profits Rule ("UTPR") purposes for eligible U.S.-parented groups, provided the ultimate parent entity's jurisdiction (currently only the United States) maintains a Qualified SbS Regime with an eligible domestic and worldwide tax system that credits QDMTTs equivalently to other covered taxes. We will continue to monitor U.S. and international legislative developments, including further announcements on the side-by-side arrangement, to assess any potential impacts on our operations.

**17. Related Party Transactions**

The Company had a service agreement with the Founder, including access to aircrafts and a property. This service agreement between the Founder and the Company for aircrafts and a property was terminated and replaced with a new flight services agreement, effective January 1, 2026, with a company which is 50% owned by the Founder. Total expense for these services, which is included in "General and administrative expenses" in the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, was immaterial for the three months ended both March 31, 2026 and 2025.

In July 2025, the Company entered into a $1 million residual commission buyout agreement with a relative of the Founder, consisting of an initial payment of $1 million in cash and an immaterial contingent cash payment payable after 14 months, subject to certain conditions related to the performance of the acquired rights.

Rook has entered into margin loan agreements, pursuant to which, in addition to other collateral, it has pledged 15,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock to secure a margin loan.

On February 7, 2026, the Company entered into a Transaction Agreement to effect, among other things, the Up-C Collapse via a taxable exchange, and the assignment and waiver of Rook's rights under the TRA to the Company. The Simplification Transactions and other matters provided for in the Transaction Agreement provided significant benefits to the Company, including being relieved of future TRA payments, no longer having a stockholder with majority voting power and obtaining a waiver by Rook of its rights under Section 4 of the Stockholders Agreement, dated June 4, 2020, among the Company, Rook, and Searchlight.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the Company made $139 million of distributions to the Founder, which are included in "Distributions to non-redeemable noncontrolling interests" in the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and issued 423,296 shares of the Company's Preferred Stock to the Founder in a private placement.

**18. Segments**

In accordance with ASC 280, *Segment Reporting*, the Company evaluates its operating segments to determine how to report its financial performance. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") for the purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company's CODM is the chief executive officer, who reviews financial information on a consolidated level for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance, and as such, the Company's operations constitute one operating segment and one reportable segment.

The principal financial metric reviewed by the CODM on a monthly basis is consolidated net income. This metric is compared to prior periods and to the Company's internal forecasts and budgets for the purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.

The following table presents a disaggregation of the Company's consolidated net income:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |
| *(in millions)* | **2026** | **2025** |

\*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Denotes a significant segment expense reviewed by the CODM.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(a)</sup>Depreciation and amortization expense includes depreciation of equipment under lease of $22 million and $16 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 respectively.

**19. Commitments and Contingencies**

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these, or other matters, may arise from time to time that may harm the Company's business.

In accordance with ASC 450, the Company records a liability when it determines that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company is not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceedings that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Accordingly, no reserves for legal contingencies have been established as of March 31, 2026.

**20. Subsequent Events**

In May 2026, the Board authorized the inclusion of the Company's Preferred Stock in its outstanding November 2025 Program.

Repurchases under the November 2025 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. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18.

The November 2025 Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common or preferred stock. The November 2025 Program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion.

We power billions of transactions annually for hundreds of thousands of businesses in virtually every industry. We achieved our leadership position through decades of solving business and operational challenges facing our customers' overall commerce needs. Our merchants range in size from small owner-operated local businesses to multinational enterprises conducting commerce globally.

**Recent Developments**

*Transaction Agreement*

On February 7, 2026, we entered into a Transaction Agreement with Shift4 Payments, LLC, our Founder, and Rook (the "Transaction Agreement") to effect, among other things, the collapse of our former "Up-C" structure (the "Up-C Collapse") via a taxable exchange, and the assignment and waiver of Rook's rights under the tax receivable agreement (the "TRA") amongst us, Rook and certain affiliates of Searchlight Capital Partners, L.P. ("Searchlight") to us. The Simplification Transactions and other matters provided for in the Transaction Agreement provide significant benefits to us, including being relieved of material future TRA payments, no longer having a stockholder with majority voting power ("Elimination of Voting Control Benefit") and obtaining a waiver by Rook of its rights under Section 4 of the Stockholders Agreement, dated June 4, 2020, among us, Rook, and Searchlight (the "Stockholders Agreement Waiver") (these and the other benefits to us arising from the Simplification Transactions (the "Company Benefits")).

Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the following transactions occurred: (i) Rook effected a redemption and exchange of all of its equity common units in Shift4 Payments, LLC on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock and cancelled the corresponding shares of Class B common stock, (ii) Mr. Isaacman exchanged all of his shares of Class C common stock on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock, (iii) Rook assigned all of its rights and benefits under the TRA to the Company, and each of Rook and the Company waived any rights they may have to any tax benefit payments; and (iv) Mr. Isaacman agreed to the Stockholders Agreement Waiver.

**Recent Acquisition**

***Bambora***

On March 2, 2026, we completed the acquisition of Worldline's North American subsidiaries ("Bambora") for approximately $92 million in cash. Bambora serves over 140,000 merchants across the United States and Canada. Bambora's gateway supports a mix of online and in-person payments across multiple specialized verticals.

**Key Financial Definitions**

The following briefly describes the components of revenue and expenses as presented in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

*Gross revenue* consists of payments-based revenue, TFS revenue, and subscription and other revenues:

*Payments-based revenue* includes fees for payment processing and related services, and gateway services. Payment processing revenues are primarily driven as a percentage of the dollar volume of the transactions processed. They may also have a fixed fee, a minimum monthly usage fee and a fee based on transactions. Gateway services, data encryption and tokenization fees are primarily driven by per transaction fees as well as monthly usage fees. Included in payments-based revenue are fees earned from our international payments platform, strategic enterprise merchant relationships, and alternative payments methods, including cryptocurrency, gift cards and stock donations.

*TFS revenue* includes commissions for TFS services. TFS services commissions vary based on a number of factors such as the merchant, country and amount of purchase.

*Subscription and other revenue* includes software as a service ("SaaS") fees for point of sale ("POS") systems and terminals provided to merchants. POS and terminal SaaS fees are assessed based on the type and quantity of equipment deployed to the merchant. SaaS fees also include statement fees, fees for our proprietary business intelligence software and other annual fees. Subscription and other revenues also includes revenue derived from hardware sales, software license sales, third-party residuals and fees charged for technology support.

*Cost of sales* consists of interchange and processing fees, residual commissions, equipment and other costs of sales:

*Interchange and processing fees* represent amounts owed to card issuing banks and assessments paid to card associations based on transaction processing volume. These also include fees incurred by third-parties for data transmission and settlement of funds, such as processors and our sponsor bank.

*Residual commissions* represent monthly payments to third-party distribution partners. These costs are typically based on a percentage of payments-based revenue.

*Equipment* represents our costs of devices that are sold to merchants.

*Other costs of sales* includes amortization of internally developed capitalized software development costs, purchased capitalized software, acquired technology and capitalized customer acquisition costs. It also includes shipping and handling costs related to the delivery of devices. Capitalized software development costs are amortized using the straight-line method on a product-by-product basis over the estimated useful life of the software. Capitalized software, acquired technology and capitalized customer acquisition costs are also amortized on a straight-line basis.

*General and administrative expenses* consist primarily of compensation, benefits and other expenses associated with corporate management, finance, sales, human resources, shared services, information technology and other activities.

*Revaluation of contingent liabilities* represents adjustments to the fair value of contingent liabilities associated with acquisitions.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i23fb6d7dbd1e40ee9e07dfb7378b44b7_7)</u>

*Depreciation and amortization expense* consists of depreciation and amortization expenses related to merchant relationships, trademarks and trade names, residual commission buyouts, equipment under lease, leasehold improvements, other intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment. We depreciate and amortize our assets on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the estimated life of the leasehold improvement or the remaining lease term. Maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the useful life of the respective assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which range from two years to twenty years.

*Professional expenses* consist of costs incurred for accounting, audit, tax, legal, and consulting services. These include professional services related to acquisitions.

*Advertising and marketing expenses* relate to costs incurred to participate in industry tradeshows and dealer conferences, advertising initiatives to build brand awareness (including sponsorships), and expenses to fulfill loyalty program rewards earned by software partners.

*Loss on extinguishment of debt* represents the writeoff of unamortized capitalized financing costs associated with debt extinguishment.

*Interest income* primarily consists of interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

*Other income (expense), net* primarily consists of other non-operating items. This includes transactional gains and losses related to foreign currency.

*Gain (loss) on investments in securities* represents adjustments to the fair value of our investments in securities.

*Change in TRA liability* represents adjustments to the TRA liability.

*Interest expense* consists of interest costs incurred on our borrowings and amortization of capitalized financing costs.

*Income tax benefit (expense)* represents federal, state, local and foreign income taxes.

*Net income attributable to non-redeemable noncontrolling interests* arises from net income from the non-owned portion of businesses where we have a controlling interest but less than 100% ownership. This includes the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the noncontrolling interests in Shift4 Payments, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries, which is comprised of the income allocated to Continuing Equity Owners as a result of their proportional ownership of LLC Interests;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the noncontrolling interests in certain subsidiaries of Global Blue; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the income allocated to third-party shareholders of Vectron common stock prior to the execution of the DPLTA.

**Factors Impacting Our Business and Results of Operations**

We believe our performance depends, and will in the future depend, on many factors, including those described in Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2025 Form 10-K, to which there have been no material changes, except that geopolitical and global trade tensions, as well as military conflicts, have resulted in travel disruptions and have impacted economic conditions and resulting consumer spending trends.

***Volume***

Volume is defined as the total dollar amount of payments that we deliver for settlement on behalf of our merchants. Included in volume are dollars routed via our international payments platform, alternative payment methods, including cryptocurrency, stored value, gift cards and stock donations, plus volume we route to third party merchant acquirers on behalf of strategic enterprise merchant relationships. We do maintain transaction processing on certain legacy platforms that are not defined as volume.

***Gross revenue less network fees, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA***

We use supplemental measures of our performance which are derived from our consolidated financial information but which are not presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include: gross revenue less network fees, which includes interchange and assessment fees; earnings before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"); and Adjusted EBITDA.

Gross revenue less network fees represents a key performance metric that management uses to measure changes in the mix and value derived from our customer base as we continue to execute our strategy to expand our reach to serve larger, complex merchants.

Adjusted EBITDA is the primary financial performance measure used by management to evaluate its business and monitor results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted for certain non-cash and other nonrecurring items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations. These adjustments include acquisition, restructuring and integration costs, revaluation of contingent liabilities, changes in TRA liability, equity-based compensation expense, and foreign exchange and other nonrecurring items. The financial impact of certain elements of these activities is often significant to our overall financial performance and can adversely affect the comparability of our operating results and investors' ability to analyze the business from period to period.

We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results allows management to better understand our consolidated financial performance from period to period and better project our future consolidated financial performance as forecasts are developed at a level of detail different from that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide our stakeholders with useful information to help them evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our operating performance and enabling them to make more meaningful period to period comparisons. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Reconciliations of gross revenue less network fees, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented below. We encourage you to review the reconciliations in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. In future periods, we may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items.

(a)For the three months ended March 31, 2026, consisted of $17 million of restructuring and other costs and $6 million of acquisition-related costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, consisted of $14 million of acquisition-related costs and $13 million of restructuring and other costs.

(b)Consisted of fair value adjustments to contingent liabilities arising from acquisitions.

We exclude noncash equity-based compensation charges and additional Federal Insurance Contribution Act ("FICA") and related payroll tax expense incurred when employees vest in restricted stock awards. Although noncash equity-based compensation and the additional FICA and related payroll tax expenses are necessary to attract and retain employees, we place our primary emphasis on stockholder dilution as compared to the accounting charges related to such equity-based compensation plans.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

***Overview***

We have historically sourced our liquidity requirements primarily with cash flows from operations and, when needed, with debt or equity financing. The principal uses for liquidity have been acquisitions, capital expenditures, share repurchases and debt service. As of March 31, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $473 million. In addition, "Settlement assets" include $450 million of cash that will be used to settle merchant liabilities. The cash included within Settlement assets is typically paid to merchants within a few days of receipt in order to settle related liabilities.

While we intend to pay quarterly cash dividends on our 6.00% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"), we do not intend to pay cash dividends on our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future. Shift4 Payments, Inc. is a holding company that does not conduct any business operations of its own. As a result, Shift4 Payments, Inc.'s ability to pay cash dividends on its common stock, if any, is dependent upon cash dividends and distributions and other transfers from Shift4 Payments, LLC. The amounts available to Shift4 Payments, Inc. to pay cash dividends are subject to the covenants and distribution restrictions in its subsidiaries' agreements governing its indebtedness, including covenants in such agreements providing that the payments of dividends or other distributions are subject to annual limitations based on our market capitalization.

The following table sets forth summary cash flow information for the periods presented:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |
| *(in millions)* | **2026** | **2025** |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $134 | $96 |
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | 16 | (85) |
| Net cash used in financing activities | (401) | (81) |
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | (11) | 15 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents | $(262) | $(55) |

---

***Operating activities***

Net cash provided by operating activities consists of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in other assets and liabilities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash provided by operating activities of $134 million was primarily a result of net income of $12 million, adjusted for non-cash depreciation and amortization of $135 million, equity-based compensation of $16 million, and provision for bad debts of $8 million, partially offset by deferred income taxes of $(32) million and an impact from working capital items of $(8) million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by operating activities of $96 million was primarily a result of net income of $20 million, adjusted for non-cash depreciation and amortization of $85 million, equity-based compensation of $26 million, provision for bad debts of $4 million and amortization of capitalized financing costs of $3 million, partially offset by deferred income taxes of $(18) million, revaluation of contingent liabilities of $(3) million and an impact from working capital items of $(18) million.

***Investing activities***

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities includes cash paid for acquisitions, deposits made with our sponsor bank under our Settlement Line Credit Agreement (the "Settlement Line Agreement"), residual commission buyouts, purchases of property, plant and equipment, purchases of equipment to be leased, purchases of intangible assets, investments in securities, and capitalized software development costs.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i23fb6d7dbd1e40ee9e07dfb7378b44b7_7)</u>

Net cash provided by investing activities was $16 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $101 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $85 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily the result of $185 million of settlement cash acquired from Bambora in March 2026 and a $16 million decrease in deposits made with our sponsor bank, partially offset by a $83 million increase in net cash paid for acquisitions (excluding settlement cash) and a $12 million increase in capitalized software development costs.

***Financing activities***

Net cash used in financing activities was $401 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $320 million compared to $81 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to a $232 million increase in payments for the repurchase of common stock, a $139 million increase in distributions to noncontrolling interests, a $16 million decrease in borrowings on the settlement line of credit and a $15 million increase in payments of preferred dividends, partially offset by a $73 million change in settlement activity.

Settlement assets includes both cash and receivables from card networks. From period to period, the mix of cash and receivables included in Settlement assets may change, driving increases or decreases in financing cash flow.

***Debt***

As of March 31, 2026, we had $4,563 million total principal amount of debt outstanding, including $633 million of 2027 Convertible Notes, $1,650 million of 2032 Senior Notes, $1,283 million of 2033 Euro Notes, and $997 million of principal outstanding on the Term Loan Facility.

As of December 31, 2025, we had $4,589 million total principal amount of debt outstanding, including $633 million of 2027 Convertible Notes, $1,650 million of 2032 Senior Notes, $1,309 million of 2033 Euro Notes, and $997 million of principal outstanding on the Term Loan Facility.

***Credit Facilities***

As of March 31, 2026, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, and the borrowing capacity on the Revolving Credit Facility was $550 million.

***Settlement Line Agreement***

The Company has a Settlement Line Agreement with an aggregate available amount of up to $125 million. As of March 31, 2026, borrowings against the Settlement Line amounted to $100 million which have been deposited in an account owned and controlled by Citizens. The deposit and borrowing have been netted on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because a right of offset exists and the parties intend to net settle.

***Covenants***

We expect to be in compliance with all financial covenants for at least 12 months following the issuance of this Quarterly Report.

***Stock repurchases***

In November 2025, the Board authorized a new stock repurchase program, replacing the prior program, pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of shares of our Class A common stock through December 31, 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased 5,485,241 shares of Class A common stock for $295 million, including commissions, at an average price of $53.82 per share. As of March 31, 2026, $400 million remained available for stock repurchases.

**Cash Requirements**

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and future cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses, interest payments, and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future based on our current operating plan. Our material cash requirements include the following contractual obligations:

*Debt*

As of March 31, 2026, we had $4,563 million of debt principal outstanding. After our recent financing activity, including the amendment to our Credit Facilities effective January 5, 2026, we had 1) $10 million of debt principal payable within twelve months, and 2) future interest payments, at current interest rates, associated with the outstanding debt totaled $1,619 million, with $255 million payable within twelve months.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i23fb6d7dbd1e40ee9e07dfb7378b44b7_7)</u>

*Preferred Stock Obligations*

As of March 31, 2026, we had 10,423,296 shares of our Preferred Stock outstanding, with an aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $1.0 billion. Dividends on the Preferred Stock are cumulative and accrue at an annual rate of 6.00% on the liquidation preference, payable quarterly in arrears, when and if declared by our Board. Subject to declaration, expected cash dividend payments on the preferred stock total $63 million over the next twelve months.

*Contingent Liabilities*

As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of contingent liabilities to potentially be paid out in cash was $13 million, with $9 million payable within twelve months. As of March 31, 2026, the maximum amount of contingent liabilities to potentially be paid out in cash was $22 million, with $13 million payable within twelve months.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

Our discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and results of operations for the periods described is based on our audited consolidated financial statements, and our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, each of which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these historical financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by U.S. GAAP and does not require management's judgment in its application, while in other cases, significant judgment is required in selecting among available alternative accounting standards that allow different accounting treatment for similar transactions. We consider these policies requiring significant management judgment to be critical accounting policies, which are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue recognition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Business combinations and the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Impairment assessments; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Income taxes.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK** 

Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are subject to risks relating to interest rates and foreign currencies.

**Debt and Interest Expense Risk**

As of March 31, 2026, we had $3,566 million of fixed rate principal debt outstanding pursuant to the Notes with a fair value of $3,432 million. Since these Notes bear interest at fixed rates, they do not result in any financial statement risk associated with changes in interest rates. However, the fair value of these notes fluctuates when interest rates change.

We also have a Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility available to us. We are obligated to pay interest on loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility, as well as other customary fees, including an unused commitment fee. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at floating rates. As a result, we are exposed to the risk related to fluctuations in interest rates to the extent of our borrowings. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2026, we had $997 million outstanding under the Term Loan Facility. If the applicable SOFR rate were to increase or decrease by 25 basis points, our annualized interest expense would increase or decrease by approximately $2 million, respectively.

See "<u>[Liquidity and Capital Resources](#i23fb6d7dbd1e40ee9e07dfb7378b44b7_148)</u>" in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report and <u>[Note 5 - Debt](#i23fb6d7dbd1e40ee9e07dfb7378b44b7_67)</u> to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i23fb6d7dbd1e40ee9e07dfb7378b44b7_7)</u>

**Foreign Currency Risk**

*Economic Exposure*

As a global company, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our international sales are generally denominated in foreign currencies and this revenue could be materially affected by currency fluctuations. Approximately 27% and 14% of our revenue was denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our primary exposures are to fluctuations in exchange rates for the U.S. dollar versus the Euro. The income statements of our non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for each applicable month in a period. To the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions generally results in increased revenues, operating expenses and income from operations for our non-U.S. operations. Similarly, our revenues, operating expenses and income from operations will generally decrease for our non-U.S. operations if the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies.

Changes in currency exchange rates could adversely affect our reported revenues and require us to reduce our prices to remain competitive in foreign markets, which could also have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

*Transaction Exposure*

Our exposure to foreign currency transaction gains and losses is primarily the result of certain cash balances and receivables due from our foreign subsidiaries and customers being denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary. Our foreign subsidiaries conduct their businesses in local currency and we generally do not maintain excess U.S. dollar cash balances in foreign accounts.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in "Other expense, net" in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We recognized net foreign currency transaction losses of approximately $2 million and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

*Net Investment Hedge*

We are also exposed to foreign currency risk from our net investment in foreign subsidiaries whose functional currencies are different from the U.S. dollar. To manage this exposure and mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on our condensed consolidated financial statements, we have designated our €1.1 billion (or $1.3 billion in U.S. dollars) of Euro-denominated 5.50% Senior Notes due 2033 as a net investment hedge. This hedge is intended to offset changes in the carrying amount of our net investment in Global Blue attributable to foreign currency exchange rate movements. The change in the fair value of the 2033 Euro Notes attributable to changes in the spot foreign exchange rate is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income to offset the translation adjustment arising from the hedged net investment in Global Blue.

**ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

**Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

**Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
