*Business, Consolidation and Presentation*

Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. is a holding company with no material operations of its own. Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to herein collectively as "Priority," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us," unless the context requires otherwise. Priority is the payments and banking solution that enables businesses to collect, store, lend and send funds through a unified commerce engine. Our platform combines payables, merchant solutions, and treasury solutions so leaders can streamline financial operations efficiently — and our innovative industry experts help businesses navigate and build momentum on the path to growth. With the Priority Commerce Engine, leaders can accelerate cash flow, optimize working capital, reduce unnecessary costs, and unlock new revenue opportunities.

The Company operates on a calendar year ending each December 31 and reports quarterly results on four calendar quarters ending on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements.

NCI represents the equity interest in certain consolidated entities in which the Company owns less than 100% of the profit interests. Changes in the Company's ownership interest while the Company retains its controlling interest are accounted for as equity transactions. As of September 30, 2025, there was no income attributable to NCI in accordance with the applicable operating agreements.

In the opinion of the Company's management, all known adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for interim periods have been made. These adjustments consist of normal recurring accruals and estimates that affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. These Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. The effect of these reclassifications on the Company's previously reported consolidated financial statements was not material.

*Segment Renaming*

The Company renamed it's segments to align with the services offered. SMB Payments was renamed to Merchant Solutions, B2B Payments was renamed to Payables and Enterprise Payments was renamed to Treasury Solutions. There was no other change to the segments, see further information at <u>[Note 15. Segment Information](#i398336dae6d1445e84e5f7f74cdf2277_91)</u>.

*Use of Estimates*

The preparation of Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

*Foreign Currency*

The Company's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Indian subsidiary of the Company is the Indian Rupee (i.e. local currency of Republic of India). The functional currency of the Canadian subsidiaries of the Company is

------

the Canadian Dollar. Accordingly, assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate on the last day of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate in effect during the reporting period. Translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

*Deferred Consideration*

The deferred considerations related to acquisitions are recorded at the fair value on the date of the acquisition and accreted to their redemption value through interest expense. Amounts due within 12 months under the terms of the agreement are classified as current within the Consolidated Unaudited Balance Sheets.

*Allowance for Expected Losses*

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of allowance for expected losses is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;*(in thousands)* | **Accounts Receivables** | **Settlement assets** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Balance at January 1, 2025 | $(3045) | $(7936) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Charge-offs (recoveries), net | 758 | 4969 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Provision | (1841) | (7937) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Reclassification | (1509) | 1509 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Balance at September 30, 2025** | $**(5637)** | $**(9395)** |

---

The Company has elected not to measure expected losses for accrued interest on notes receivable but instead recognize losses for accrued interest within the period losses are incurred.

**Recently Issued Accounting Standards**

*Profit Interest ASU 2024-01*

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, *Profit Interest and Similar Awards* ("ASU 2024-01"), to improve GAAP by adding an illustrative example to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope in paragraph 718-10-15-3 to determine whether profit interest and similar awards should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation- Stock Compensation. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of this standard did not have any significant impact on results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

*Income Taxes ASU 2023-09*

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures,* to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The guidance includes improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This guidance is expected to only impact the disclosures with no impact on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

*Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ASU 2024-03*

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)* ("ASU 2024-03") requiring additional disaggregated disclosures in the notes to financial statements for certain categories of expenses that are included on the face of the income statement. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early

------

adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance for the year ended December 31, 2026. This guidance is expected to only impact the disclosures with no impact on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

*Accounting for Internal-Use Software ASU 2025-06*

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, *Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)* ("ASU 2025-06") for targeted improvements to the accounting for internal-use software. The amendments updates guidance to consider different methods of software development, updating the requirements for capitalization of software costs. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Acquisitions**

**Payslate** 

On January 21, 2025, Priority's wholly owned subsidiary, Priority Canada Acquisition Company, Inc. (the "acquiring entity"), acquired 100% of the equity interest in Payslate Inc. (Canada), and its subsidiary Rentmoola Payment Solutions Ltd (United Kingdom) (jointly referred as "Letus business"). The Letus business is engaged in processing of rent payments for property management companies in the United States and Canada. The acquisition will provide synergy opportunities to the Company's Treasury Solutions rent payment business and expand Priority's services in Canada. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, *Business Combinations*. The total purchase consideration was $9.0 million, consisting of $4.6 million in cash consideration funded by the Company's cash flows, deferred consideration of $4.3 million and contingent consideration of $0.1 million.

The deferred consideration of $4.3 million was recorded at the fair value on the acquisition date. The deferred consideration will be paid monthly equal to 40% of gross profit under the agreement and total payments will not exceed $6.5 million. Any amount remaining but unpaid will be paid in full by January 21, 2030. The Company will accrete interest expense on the deferred consideration throughout the period, which was $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, total deferred consideration was $4.5 million, $0.7 million included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $3.8 million included in noncurrent liabilities on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Results for the Letus business since the acquisition are included within the Treasury Solutions segment, which includes $0.2 million and $0.6 million in revenue and a net loss of $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Cash at closing net of adjustments from estimated net working capital to actual working capital.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)The fair value of the deferred consideration was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation. The payments were calculated based on the path for the simulated metrics and the contractual terms of the deferred consideration payments and were discounted to present value at a rate reflecting a risk associated with the payoffs. The fair value was estimated to be the average present value of the deferred consideration payments over all iterations of the simulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)The contingent consideration represents the fair value of the share of net operating loss carryforwards owed to the seller in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)Includes deferred tax asset of $3.8 million which has a full valuation allowance.

The Company incurred $0.5 million in acquisition related costs, which primarily consisted of consulting, legal and accounting and valuation expenses. These expenses were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Based on the purchase consideration and pre-acquisition operating results, this business combination did not meet the materiality requirements for pro forma disclosures.

**Sila** 

On August 26, 2025, Priority's wholly owned subsidiary, Priority Tech Ventures, LLC (the "acquiring entity"), through it's merger subsidiary, acquired total outstanding shares including all voting interests in Sila Inc. ("the "Sila business" or "Sila"). Sila is a payment platform that enables ACH transfers, instant settlement, digital wallets and built-in compliance through a simple application programming interface. Technology acquired in this transaction will supplement Priority's current treasury solutions. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations. The total purchase price was $7.9 million, consisting of $3.6 million in cash consideration funded by the Company's cash flows, and contingent consideration of $4.3 million for contractual earn-outs and additional contingent consideration of $0.1 million. Earn-outs will be paid as a percentage of gross profit when certain thresholds are met and additional contingent considerations will be paid based on utilization of the seller's carryforward tax losses.

The contingent consideration for the contractual earn-outs was recorded at the fair value of $4.3 million on the acquisition date. The contingent consideration will be paid quarterly subject to terms and conditions noted within the agreement over a period of seven years and total payments will not exceed $17.0 million. As of September 30, 2025, total contingent consideration of

------

$4.4 million is recorded in noncurrent liabilities on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Results for the Sila business since the acquisition are included within the Treasury Solutions segment, which includes $0.1 million in revenue and a net loss of $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The preliminary purchase price allocation is set forth in the table below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Cash at closing net of adjustments from estimated net working capital and closing cash.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation. The payments were calculated based on the path for the simulated metrics and the contractual terms of the contingent consideration payments and were discounted to present value at a rate reflecting a risk associated with the payoffs. The fair value was estimated to be the average present value of the contingent consideration payments over all iterations of the simulation.The contingent consideration represents the fair value of the contractual earn-outs and the share of net operating loss carryforwards owed to the seller in the future.

The fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities exceeded the consideration paid, resulting in a bargain purchase gain. The Company reviewed its acquisition accounting methods, confirmed all assets and liabilities were properly identified, and ensured measurements reflected all consideration as of the closing date. The gain was primarily due to recognizing a deferred tax asset recorded in accordance with ASC 740 related to Sila's historical net operating losses. The bargain purchase gain is recorded in other income, net, in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The Company incurred $0.2 million in acquisition legal expenses for the acquisition, which were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

------

Based on the purchase consideration and pre-acquisition operating results, this business combination did not meet the materiality requirements for pro forma disclosures.

**Other Acquisitions**

*Boom Commerce*

On August 18, 2025, Priority Boom, LLC, a subsidiary of Priority, completed its acquisition of certain residual portfolio rights for a purchase price of $73.5 million in cash, $13.5 million in Common shares of Priority and earn-out payments not to exceed $17.0 million based on meeting certain thresholds over a three-year period from the date of acquisition. The transaction did not meet the definition of a business; therefore, it was accounted for as an asset purchase under which the cost of the acquisition was allocated to the acquired assets based on relative fair values. As an asset purchase, additional purchase price (in the form of earn-outs) is accounted for when payment to the seller becomes payable and is added to the carrying value of the asset.

Deferred revenues were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

*Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities*

Material contract assets and liabilities are presented net at the individual contract level in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and are classified as current or noncurrent based on the nature of the underlying contractual rights and obligations.

Contract liabilities were $0.3 million and $0.2 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Substantially all of these balances are recognized as revenue within 12 months.

Net contract assets were $0.3 million for the period ended September 30, 2025 and were not material for the period ended December 31, 2024.

Impairment losses recognized on contract assets arising from the Company's contracts with customers were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Settlement Assets and Obligations** 

Settlement assets and obligations include, 1) funds due from merchants arising from settlement of funds for sales and credits between card issuers, merchants, 2) card settlement funds due from networks due to timing and its related obligations, and 3) Customer/Subscriber account balances and related obligations resulting from licensed money transmitter services.

*Card settlements due from merchants, net* 

The merchant solution services of the Company include settlement of funds for sales and credits between card issuers, card networks and merchants. The standards of the card networks require possession of funds during the settlement process by a member bank which controls the clearing transactions. Since settlement funds are required to be in the possession of a member bank until merchants are funded, these funds are not assets of the Company, and the associated obligations are not liabilities of the Company. Therefore, neither is recognized in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Exception items that the Company is still attempting to collect from the merchants through the funds settlement process or merchant reserves are recognized as settlement assets in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, with an offsetting reserve for those amounts the Company estimates it will not be able to recover. Exception items that the Company has deemed uncollectible are recorded as merchant losses, a component of cost of revenue in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Expenses for merchant losses net of recoveries for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $0.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Expenses for merchant losses, net of recoveries for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $0.7 million and $1.6 million respectively.

*Card settlements due from networks and Dues to Customers' Payees*

As part of the Payables service offering:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Priority accepts card payments for its customers and processes disbursements to their vendors (customers' payees). The time lag between authorization and settlement of card transactions creates certain receivables (from card networks) and payables (to the vendors of customers). These receivables and payables arise from the settlement activities that the Company performs on behalf of its customers and therefore, are presented as settlement assets and related obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Priority processes payments to the customers' payees wherein customers funds are received either in company-owned bank accounts controlled by the Company or bank-owned FBO accounts controlled by the banks, until such time that the transactions are settled with the customers' payees. Balances in the bank-owned FBO accounts and related obligations are not considered assets and obligations of the Company. Therefore, neither is recognized in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts due to customers' payees that are held in company-owned bank accounts are included in restricted cash in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and related obligations are presented as due to customers' payees.

*MTL Customer cash and cash equivalents (restricted in nature), short-term investments and MTL Customer account obligations*

The Company provides treasury solutions to its customers through its money transmission licenses in 46 states and 3 territories of the United States and through agency relationships with banks in the remaining states. These services include the acceptance and disbursement of funds. While waiting for disbursement, these funds are held in bank accounts maintained by the Company on behalf of its customers. Per the money transmission regulations, the Company is allowed to invest available balances in these accounts in certain permitted investments, and returns on such investments contribute to the Company's net cash inflows. As such, the Company recognized these balances and related obligations on its balance sheet. Considering these balances are payable on demand and are related to settlement activities, they are presented as settlement assets (as part of the current assets) and the related obligations as settlement obligations (as part of the current liabilities) in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The nature of these MTL Customer cash and cash equivalent are restricted in nature and therefore these balances are presented as restricted cash on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The MTL Short-term investments are included within acquisitions of assets and other investing activities on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

The Company's consolidated settlement assets and obligations were as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(3)</sup>Excludes funds held under agency arrangement with member banks (in states where the Company does not have a money transmitter license), balances remain under the control of the member banks (therefore not the assets or obligation of the Company). Agency owned accounts held $57.0 million and $22.6 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(4)</sup>Includes $15.3 million and $12.3 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of card settlements due from networks and the remainder is included in restricted cash on our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(5)</sup>Excludes amounts due to customer payees that are held in bank-owned FBO accounts which are not assets of the Company, and the associated obligations are not liabilities of the Company. Therefore, neither is recognized in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

***Second Amendment to the 2024 Credit Agreement***

On July 31, 2025, the Company amended the 2024 Credit Agreement to incorporate the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Term facility:** The amendment increased the principal balance from $935.5 million to $1.0 billion, increased quarterly principal payments from $2.4 million to $2.5 million, extended the maturity date from May 2031 to July 2032 and decreased the margin rate from 4.75% to 3.75%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Revolving credit facility:** The amendment increased the credit commitment from $70.0 million to $100.0 million, extended the maturity date from May 2029 to July 2030 and decreased the margin rate from 4.25% to 3.50%.

Proceeds from the increase in the term facility was primarily used for the acquisitions in <u>[Note 2.](#i398336dae6d1445e84e5f7f74cdf2277_37)[Acquisitions](#i398336dae6d1445e84e5f7f74cdf2277_37)</u>. In accordance with ASC 470, the Company determined on a creditor-by-creditor basis that the amendment was both a debt extinguishment and modification. The Company expensed $2.3 million of previously unamortized fees and $4.1 million of debt issuance costs related to the refinancing which is reported in debt extinguishment and modification on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Also reported in debt extinguishment and modification on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) is the acceleration and payout of $6.9 million of deferred consideration for Plastiq (see <u>[Note 13.](#i398336dae6d1445e84e5f7f74cdf2277_85)[Commitments and C](#i398336dae6d1445e84e5f7f74cdf2277_85)[onti](#i398336dae6d1445e84e5f7f74cdf2277_85)[ngencies](#i398336dae6d1445e84e5f7f74cdf2277_85)</u>) and the $0.8 million gain on the extinguishment of a loan.

**Residual Finance Credit Facility** 

On August 18, 2025, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company not restricted by the 2024 Credit Agreement entered into an agreement ("Residual Finance Credit Facility") which provides a delayed draw term loan facility with a total commitment of $50.0 million of which the Company has drawn $23.9 million. The agreement also provides an accordion feature to increase the commitment by an aggregate amount not to exceed $75.0 million such that the total commitment may equal, but not exceed, $125.0 million. The purpose of this credit facility is to fund certain residual purchases and loans to ISOs and ISVs.

Outstanding borrowings under the Residual Finance Credit Facility accrue interest using a SOFR rate plus an applicable margin per year, equal to 6.25%, subject to a SOFR rate floor of 2.0% per year. Unused commitments are subject to a unused commitment fee on any undrawn amount equal to 1.0% per year of the unused portion.

*Interest Expense and Amortization of Deferred Loan Costs and Discounts*

Deferred financing costs and debt discounts are amortized using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the respective debt and are recorded as a component of interest expense. Unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discounts are included in long-term debt on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Interest expense for outstanding debt, including fees for undrawn amounts and amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts was as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended September 30,** | **Three Months Ended September 30,** | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup>Included in interest expense is $0.4 million and $2.5 million related to the accretion of deferred consideration from acquisitions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $1.1 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)</sup>Interest expense included amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts of $0.4 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $0.4 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

------

*Debt Covenants*

The 2024 Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties, financial and collateral requirements, mandatory payment events, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants, including without limitation, covenants that restrict among other things, the ability to create liens, pay dividends or distribute assets from the loan parties to the Company, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments or acquisitions, enter into certain transactions (including with affiliates) and to enter into certain leases.

If the aggregate principal amount of outstanding revolving loans and letters of credit under the 2024 Credit Agreement exceeds 35% of the total revolving credit facility thereunder, the Company is required to comply with certain restrictions on its Total Net Leverage Ratio. If applicable, the maximum permitted Total Net Leverage Ratio is: 1) 6.90:1.00 at each fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025 through March 31, 2026; 2) 6.40:1.00 at each fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026 and each fiscal quarter thereafter. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the 2024 Credit Agreement.

The Residual Finance Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, financial and collateral requirements, mandatory payment events, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants, including without limitation, covenants that restrict among other things, the ability to create liens, pay dividends or distribute assets from the Loan Parties to the Company, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments or acquisitions, and enter into certain transactions (including with affiliates).

The Residual Finance Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with certain restrictions including minimum liquidity of $2.0 million, minimum tangible net worth of $5.0 million, maximum default ratio of 2.5%, maximum delinquency ratio of 5.0%, and a minimum excess spread ratio of 1.00 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the restrictions in the agreement.

**9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income Taxes** 

The Company's consolidated effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was (273.5)% and (40.7)%, respectively, compared to a consolidated effective income tax rate of 31.6% and 37.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The effective rates differed from the statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a decrease in the valuation allowance against certain business interest carry over deferred tax assets.

*Valuation Allowance for Deferred Income Tax Assets*

The Company considers all available positive and negative evidence to determine whether sufficient taxable income will be generated in the future to permit realization of the existing deferred tax assets. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, *Income Taxes*, the Company is required to provide a valuation allowance against deferred income tax assets when it is "more likely than not" that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Based on management's assessment, as of September 30, 2025, the Company continues to record a full valuation allowance against certain transaction costs, and net deferred tax assets acquired as part of the Payslate acquisition. The Company will continue to evaluate the realizability of the net deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis and, as a result, the valuation allowance may change in future periods.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") into law. The OBBBA, among other provisions, extends or reinstates certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"), including but not limited to, 100% bonus depreciation on eligible property, immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs, and the restoration of an EBITDA based interest expense limitation calculation. As a result of the OBBBA interest expense limitation provision changes, the Company has released its valuation allowance against its interest limitation deferred tax assets.

These non-voting incentive units were determined to be equity and are accounted for under ASC 718 Stock Compensation. The non-voting incentive units are either fully vested when granted, or vest according to the service period and/or performance measure noted in the grant agreement. As the non-voting incentive units are vested, they are recognized as NCI to the Company, who is the majority owner of the subsidiaries.

 **12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Related Party Transactions** 

In February 2019, the Company's CEO contributed assets of certain businesses to PHOT (a subsidiary of the Company).

| December 31, 2024 | $10685 |
| Addition of deferred consideration (Related to acquisition, see <u>[Note 2](#i398336dae6d1445e84e5f7f74cdf2277_37)</u>) | 4282 |
| Addition of contingent consideration (Related to acquisition, see <u>[Note 2](#i398336dae6d1445e84e5f7f74cdf2277_37)</u>) | 4542 |

---

On July 31, 2025, the Company accelerated remaining payments of $18.9 million of the deferred considerations related to the Plastiq acquisition. The acceleration of these payments resulted in $6.9 million of debt extinguishment and modification costs, net, in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

*Legal Proceedings*

The Company is involved in certain legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the Company and based on consultations with internal and external counsel, the results of any of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. As more information becomes available, and the Company determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable on a claim and that the amount of probable loss that the Company will incur on that claim is reasonably estimable, the Company will record an accrued expense for the claim in question. If and when the Company records such an accrual, it could be material and could adversely impact the Company's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The Company is a party in a case filed on October 11, 2023 in the United States District Court of Northern District of California (the "Complaint"). The Complaint is a putative class action against The Credit Wholesale Company, Inc. ("Wholesale"), Priority Technology Holdings, Inc., Priority Payment Systems ("PPS"), LLC and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo"). The Complaint alleges that Wholesale as an agent of Priority, PPS and Wells Fargo made non-consensual recordation of telephonic communications with California businesses in violation of California Invasion of Privacy Act (the "Act"). The Complaint seeks to certify a class of affected businesses and an award of $5,000 per violation of the Act. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the court granted final approval of the settlement agreement wherein the defendants agree to pay $19.5 million to settle this litigation on a class basis. There was no contribution from the Company towards this settlement agreement.

*Concentration of Risks*

While providing payment processing services, Priority manages funds that are held on behalf of its customers. Because Priority is not a member bank, these customer funds are held in bank accounts maintained with member banks pursuant to sponsorship agreements which require, among other things, that the Company abide by the laws and regulations of the card associations and MTL regulators.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company's customer account balances of $1.2 billion are maintained in accounts with certain FIs which are eligible to pass-through insurance subject to FDIC rules and regulations (refer to <u>[Note 4. Settlement Assets and Obligations](#i398336dae6d1445e84e5f7f74cdf2277_49)</u>). A majority of the Company's cash, restricted cash and off-balance sheet settlement funds are held in certain FIs,

------

substantially all of which is in excess of FDIC limits. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk from these transactions.

**14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fair Value**

***Fair Value Disclosures***

*Notes Receivable*

Notes receivable are carried at amortized cost. Substantially all of the Company's notes receivable are secured, and the Company provides for allowances when it believes that certain notes receivable may not be collectible. The carrying value of the Company's notes receivable, net approximates fair value and was approximately $13.6 million and $8.6 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively and is within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

*Short-term investments*

Short-term investments are certificate of deposits which have a maturity that extends beyond three months but within one year of the initial purchase date and are carried at amortized cost. The carrying value approximates fair value of $46.7 million and is within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

*Debt Obligations*

Outstanding debt obligations (see <u>[Note 8. Debt Obligations](#i398336dae6d1445e84e5f7f74cdf2277_61)</u>) are reflected in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at carrying value since the Company did not elect to remeasure debt obligations to fair value at the end of each reporting period.

The fair value of the term facility was estimated to be $1.0 billion and $944.4 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair value of the Residual Finance Credit Facility was estimated to be $23.9 million as of September 30, 2025. Both were estimated using binding and non-binding quoted prices in an active secondary market, which considers the credit risk and market related conditions, and is within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no transfers into, out of, or between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

 **15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Segment Information** 

The Company's three reportable segments included Merchant Solutions, Payables and Treasury Solutions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Merchant Solutions*: Provides full-service acquiring and payment-enabled solutions for B2C transactions, leveraging Priority's proprietary software platform, distributed through ISO, direct sales and vertically focused ISV channels.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Payables*: Provides market-leading AP automation solutions to corporations, software partners and industry leading FIs in addition to improving cash flows by providing instant access to working capital.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Treasury Solutions*: Provides embedded finance and treasury solutions to customers to modernize legacy platforms and accelerate software partners' strategies to monetize payments.

Corporate includes costs of corporate functions and shared services not allocated to our reportable segments.

The Company's chief operating decision makers ("CODM") are our CEO and CFO. The CODM uses adjusted earnings before interest expense, income tax and depreciation and amortization expenses ("Adjusted EBITDA") as the measure of segment profit or loss to allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA (i.e. earnings before interest, income tax, and depreciation and amortization expenses) adjusted for certain non-cash costs, such as stock-based compensation and the write-off of the carrying value of investments or other assets, as well as debt extinguishment and modification expenses and other expenses and income items considered non-recurring, such as acquisition integration expenses, certain professional fees, and litigation settlements.

Segment level assets information is not provided or subject to review by the CODM and therefore not provided.

Information on reportable segments and reconciliations to income before income taxes are as follows:

**17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subsequent Events**

On October 1, 2025, Priority's indirect subsidiary, Priority DMS LLC, (the "acquiring entity"), acquired certain assets of DMSJV LLC (the "DMS business"), for cash consideration of $35.0 million, earn outs not to exceed $22.5 million and equity in the acquiring entity. Post transaction, Priority owns 76.7% of the equity interest in the acquiring entity with the remaining interest owned by the sellers of the DMS business. Considering the timing of the acquisition, the Company has not yet completed its preliminary acquisition accounting. The DMS business is a leading vertically focused reseller in the auto and

------

truck dealership sector and will complement the Company's Merchant Solutions segment. Priority will benefit from the addition of the DMS team, vertically focused integrated software and distribution in the automotive dealership arena. The preliminary acquisition accounting is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.

On October 1, 2025, the Company entered into the third amendment to its 2024 Credit Agreement to increase its term loan facility by $35.0 million. All other significant terms remained unchanged. The proceeds of the increase were used to fund the acquisition of the DMS business. The accounting evaluation of the amendment is in process.

On October 31, 2025, the Company made a voluntary principal prepayment of $15.0 million on the 2024 Credit Agreement's term facility.

We compute our interim period income tax expense or benefit by using a forecasted EAETR and adjust for any discrete items arising during the interim period and any changes in our projected full-year business interest expense and taxable income. The EAETR for 2025 is 20.7% and includes the income tax provision on pre-tax income and a tax benefit related to the release of a valuation allowance against deferred income taxes related to section 163(j) interest limitation carry over utilized in the current year. The effective tax rate for 2025 changed primarily due to a decrease in the valuation allowance against certain business interest carry over deferred tax assets.

Our consolidated effective income tax rates differ from the statutory rate due to timing and permanent differences between amounts calculated under GAAP and the U.S. tax code. The consolidated effective income tax rate for 2025 may not be indicative of our effective tax rate for future periods.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted legislation know as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law. The OBBBA, among other provisions, extends or reinstates certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), including but not limited to, 100% bonus depreciation on eligible property, immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs, and the restoration of an EBITDA based interest expense limitation calculation. As a result of the OBBBA interest expense limitation provision changes, the Company has released its valuation allowance against its interest limitation deferred tax assets.

**Segment Results**

The CODM's review of segment performance and allocation of resources are based on Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure). Adjusted EBITDA at each segment level includes revenues of the segment, less costs of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) and operating expenses that are directly related those revenues. Operating overhead and shared costs are managed centrally and included in corporate segment.

This non-GAAP financial measure helps to illustrate the underlying financial and business trends relating to results of operations of the Company and therefore used as a measure of segment profit or loss for the purposes of evaluation of segment performance and allocation of resources.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates** 

Our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim periods, which often require the judgment of management in the selection and application of certain accounting principles and methods. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in "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, 2024. There have been no material changes to these critical accounting policies and estimates as of September 30, 2025.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Liquidity and capital resource management is a process focused on providing the funding we need to meet our short-term and long-term cash and working capital needs. We have used our funding sources to build our merchant portfolio, for technology solutions and to make acquisitions with the expectation that such investments will generate cash flows sufficient to cover our working capital and other anticipated needs, including our acquisition strategy. We anticipate that cash on hand, funds generated from operations and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility are sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Our principal uses of cash are to fund business operations and administrative costs, and to service our debt.

------

Our working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $82.0 million at September 30, 2025 and $37.7 million at September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, we had cash totaling $57.0 million compared to $41.1 million at September 30, 2024. These cash balances do not include restricted cash of $13.0 million and $13.4 million at September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, which reflects cash accounts holding customer settlement funds and cash reserves for potential losses. The current portion of long-term debt included in current liabilities was $10.0 million and $8.4 million at September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. At September 30, 2025, we had availability of approximately $100.0 million under our revolving credit facility.

The following table and discussion reflect our changes in cash flows for the comparative nine month periods.

*Cash Provided by Operating Activities*

Net cash provided by operating activities was $63.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $61.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The $1.3 million increase was driven by an increase in net income offset by non-cash adjustments and changes in the operating assets and liabilities.

*Cash Used in Investing Activities* 

Net cash used in investing activities was $151.9 million and $24.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, investing activities included acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired of $77.4 million, additions to property, equipment and software of $19.0 million, $5.1 million related to net funding of new loans to ISOs, and $50.5 million in short-term investments of MTL funds and investments in unconsolidated entities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in investing activities included additions to property, equipment and software of $17.0 million, $0.2 million related funding of new loans to ISOs and $7.5 million related to the acquisition of intangible assets and an investment in an unconsolidated entity.

*Cash Provided by Financing Activities* 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $288.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $84.7 million of cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included borrowings under the Second Amendment to the 2024 Credit Agreement and the Residual Finance Credit Facility of $1.0 billion, proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $0.4 million and changes in the net obligations for funds held on the behalf of customers of $247.5 million, offset by $945.5 million of cash used for the repayment of the term loan facility due to refinancing, $4.7 million in debt issuance and modification costs paid for the Second Amendment to the 2024 Credit Agreement, $3.0 million of cash used to purchase shares withheld for taxes, $19.8 million for the accelerated deferred consideration payments, and $6.0 million used to repurchase NCI in one of the subsidiaries. The net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 included changes in the net obligations for funds held on the behalf of customers of $116.1 million and borrowings under the 2024 Credit Agreement net of issue discounts of $830.2 million, offset by $661.9 million of cash used for the repayment of the principal of the 2021 Credit Agreement and debt issuance and modification costs related to the refinancing, $167.8 million related to the redemption of senior preferred stock and accumulated unpaid dividend, $2.1 million for the redemption of redeemable NCI in subsidiary, $22.1 million of cash dividends paid to redeemable senior preferred stockholders, $1.2 million of cash used for shares withheld for taxes and $5.0 million of payments of contingent consideration.

------

*Long-term Debt* 

As of September 30, 2025, we had outstanding debt obligations, including the current portion and unamortized debt discount of $1,023.9 billion, compared to $945.5 million at December 31, 2024, resulting in an increase of $78.4 million. The increase is due to the Second Amendment to the 2024 Credit Agreement and the addition of the Residual Finance Credit Facility offset by an unscheduled principal payment. The debt balance at September 30, 2025 consisted of $1.0 billion outstanding under the 2024 Credit Agreement's (as amended) term facility and $23.9 million under the Residual Finance Credit Facility's term facility offset by $16.4 million of unamortized debt discounts and issuance costs.

Minimum amortization of the 2024 Credit Agreement's term facility are equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.0% of the original principal, with the balance paid upon maturity. The term facility matures on July 31, 2032 and the revolving credit facility matures on July 31, 2030.

The 2024 Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties, financial and collateral requirements, mandatory payment events, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants, including without limitation, covenants that restrict among other things, the ability to create liens, pay dividends or distribute assets from the loan parties to the Company, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments or acquisitions, enter into certain transactions (including with affiliates) and to enter into certain leases.

If the aggregate principal amount of outstanding revolving loans and letters of credit under the 2024 Credit Agreement exceeds 35% of the total revolving facility thereunder, the loan parties are required to comply with certain restrictions on its Total Net Leverage Ratio, which is defined in the Credit Agreement as the ratio of consolidated total debt less unrestricted cash to consolidated adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement). If the aggregate principal amount of outstanding revolving loans and letters of credit under the 2024 Credit Agreement exceeds 35% of the total revolving credit facility thereunder, the Company is required to comply with certain restrictions on its Total Net Leverage Ratio. If applicable, the maximum permitted Total Net Leverage Ratio is: 1) 6.90:1.00 at each fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025 through March 31, 2026; 2) 6.40:1.00 at each fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026 and each fiscal quarter thereafter. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the 2024 Credit Agreement.

The Residual Finance Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, financial and collateral requirements, mandatory payment events, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants, including without limitation, covenants that restrict among other things, the ability to create liens, pay dividends or distribute assets from the Loan Parties to the Company, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments or acquisitions, and enter into certain transactions (including with affiliates).

The Residual Finance Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with certain restrictions including minimum liquidity of $2.0 million, minimum tangible net worth of $5.0 million, maximum default ratio of 2.5%, maximum delinquency ratio of 5.0%, and a minimum excess spread ratio of 1.00 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the restrictions in the agreement.

**Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted**

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that may affect our current and/or future financial statements. See <u>[Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies](#i398336dae6d1445e84e5f7f74cdf2277_34)</u>, to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2024.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

*Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures*

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized or reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and regulations and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer (CEO), our principal financial officer (CFO) and, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the Company's CEO and CFO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2025 because of a material weakness within our internal controls over financial reporting, as described below.

Notwithstanding that conclusion, based on review, analysis and inquiries conducted subsequent to September 30, 2025, management believes that the consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates presented, and for the periods ended on such dates, in conformity with GAAP.

*Previously Disclosed Material Weakness*

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, we identified a material weakness related to the design and operation of certain automated controls (including related information technology general controls) for certain tools or applications involved in the transformation and ingestion of third-party processors' data in the Company's control environment. The Company began implementing a remediation plan to address this material weakness.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

*Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting*

Other than described above, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

------

**PART II. OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings**

We are involved in certain legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the Company, based on consultations with internal and external counsel, the results of any of these ordinary course matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. As more information becomes available and we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable on a claim and that the amount of probable loss that we will incur on that claim is reasonably estimable, we will record an accrued expense for the claim in question. If and when we record such an accrual, it could be material and could adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in our Annual Report under Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" because these risk factors may affect our operations and financial results. The risks described in the Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
