  1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X as they apply to interim financial information. Accordingly, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when earned, usually upon the date services are rendered, and expenses are recognized at the date services are rendered or goods are received.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the Company’s opinion include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature or a description of the nature and amount of any adjustments other than normal recurring adjustments, operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. The interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Repay Holdings Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiary, Hawk Parent Holdings LLC, along with Hawk Parent Holdings LLC’s wholly owned subsidiaries: Hawk Intermediate Holdings, LLC, Hawk Buyer Holdings, LLC, Repay Holdings, LLC, M&A Ventures, LLC, Repay Management Holdco Inc., Repay Management Services LLC, Sigma Acquisition, LLC, Wildcat Acquisition, LLC, Marlin Acquirer, LLC, REPAY International LLC, REPAY Canada Solutions ULC, TriSource Solutions, LLC (“TriSource”), Mesa Acquirer, LLC, CDT Technologies LTD (“Ventanex”), Viking GP Holdings, LLC, cPayPlus, LLC (“cPayPlus”), CPS Payment Services, LLC, Media Payments, LLC, Custom Payment Systems, LLC, Electronic Payment Providers, LLC, Internet Payment Exchange, LLC, Stratus Payment Solutions, LLC, Clear Payment Solutions, LLC, Harbor Acquisition LLC, Payix Holdings Incorporated and Payix Incorporated. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

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

Reclassifications

The Company changed its presentation for Interest expense to Interest income (expense), net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current presentation.

Segment Reporting

The Company reports operating results throughtwo reportable segments: (1) Consumer Payments and (2) Business Payments, as further discussed in Note 13. Segments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements not yet Adopted

Segment Reporting

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”)”. ASU 2023-07 improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of ASU No. 2023-07 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”)”. ASU 2023-09 requires public business entities on an annual basis to (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of ASU No. 2023-09 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

  1. Revenue

Disaggregation of revenue

The Company’s revenue is from two types of relationships: (i) direct relationships and (ii) indirect relationships. The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by segment and by the type of relationship for the periods indicated.

When the Company’s right to consideration for performance is contingent upon a future event or satisfaction of additional performance obligations, the amount of revenues the Company has recognized in excess of the amount the Company has billed to the client is recognized as a contract asset. The contract asset balance was $1.3 millionand $1.4 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is included within Prepaid expenses and other in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

  1. Earnings Per Share

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same since the inclusion of the assumed exchange of all limited liability company interests of Hawk Parent (“Post-Merger Repay Units”), unvested share-based awards, outstanding stock options and the Company’s Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (“2026 Notes”) would have been anti-dilutive.

The following table summarizes net loss attributable to the Company and the weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding:

For thethree months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the following common stock equivalent shares were excluded from the computation of the diluted loss per share, since their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Shares of the Company’s Class V common stock do not participate in the earnings or losses of the Company and, therefore, are not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class V common stock under the two-class method has not been presented. Each share of the Company’s Class V common stock gives the holder the right to vote the number of shares corresponding to the number of Post-Merger Repay Units held by that holder, but shares of Class V common stock have no economic rights.

  1. Business Disposition

On February 15, 2023, the Company sold Blue Cow Software, LLC and a related entity (“BCS”) within the Consumer Payments segment for cash proceeds of $41.9 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized a loss of $9.9 million associated with the sale, comprised of the difference between the consideration received and the net carrying amountof the assets and liabilities of the business within Loss on business disposition in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In connection with the disposition of BCS, the Company recognized a reduction in goodwill of $35.3 million within the Consumer Payments segment. See Note 8. Goodwill for further discussion. For thethree months ended March 31, 2023, BCS contributed $1.2 million to the Consumer Payments segment revenue.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents contains cash on hand, demand deposit accounts, money market accounts and short term investments with original maturities of three months or less. They are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), as the price is obtained from quoted market prices in an active market. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values due to the short maturities and highly liquid nature of these accounts.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820, as the primary component is cash that is used as collateral for debts. The carrying amounts of the Company’s restricted cash approximate their fair values due to the highly liquid nature.

Other assets

Other assets contain a minority equity investment in a privately-held company. The Company elected a measurement alternative for measuring this investment, in which the carrying amount is adjusted based on any observable price changes in orderly transactions. The investment is classified as Level 2 as observable adjustments to value are infrequent and occur in an inactive market.

Borrowings

The revolving credit facility and 2026 Notes are measured at amortized cost, which the carrying value is unpaid principal net of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs. The estimated fair value of the revolving credit facility approximates the unpaid principal because its interest rate approximates market interest rates. The estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes is determined using the quoted prices from over-the-counter markets. The estimated fair value of the Company’s borrowings is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the market interest rates and quoted prices are generally observable and do not contain a high level of subjectivity. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $0 drawn against the revolving credit facility.

The following table provides the carrying value and estimated fair value of borrowings. See Note 9. Borrowings for further discussion on borrowings.

2026 Notes$434,877$407,550$434,166$375,650

Tax Receivable Agreement

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, the Company entered into the TRA with holders of Post-Merger Repay Units. As a result of the TRA, the Company established a liability in its condensed consolidated financial statements. The TRA is recorded at fair value based on estimates of discounted future cash flows associated with the estimated payments to the Post-Merger Repay Unit holders. These inputs are not observable in the market; thus, the TRA is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, under ASC 820. The change in fair value is re-measured at each reporting period with the change in fair value being recognized in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which is recorded within Change in fair value of tax receivable liability in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company used a discount rate, also referred to as the Early Termination Rate, as defined in the TRA, to determine the present value, based on arisk-free rate plus a spread, pursuant to the TRA. A rate of 7.06% was applied to the forecasted TRA payments at March 31, 2024, in order to determine the fair value. A significant increase or decrease in the discount rate could have resulted in a lower or higher balance, respectively, as of the measurement date. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the TRA balance was adjusted by $2.3 million through a payment, accretion expense and a valuation adjustment, related to a decrease in the income tax rate used to measure the TRA as of the Early Termination Date and a decrease in the discount rate, which was 7.1% as of December 31, 2023.

The following table provides a rollforward of the TRA related to the acquisition and exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units. See Note 12. Taxation for further discussion on the TRA.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

The Company is a party to various claims and lawsuits incidental to its business. In the Company’s opinion, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from the outcome of such matters, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, liquidity, results of operations or cash flows.

Leases

The Company has commitments under operating leases for real estate leased from third parties under non-cancelable operating leases. The Company’s leases typically have lease terms between three years andten years, with the longest lease term having an expiration date in 2035. Most of these leases include one or more renewal options forfive years or less, andcertain leases also include lessee termination options. At lease commencement, the Company assesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise a renewal option, or reasonably certain not to exercise a termination option, by considering various economic factors. Options that are reasonably certain of being exercised are factored into the determination of the lease term, and related payments are included in the calculation of the right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability.

On December 31, 2023, the Company entered an amendment for one of the existing leases to relocate to another space within the building commencing on August 1, 2024. The landlord provides a construction allowance, in the form of reimbursements, of up to $1.4 million related to approved improvements and renovations of the landlord’s property during the construction period between February 1, 2024 to July 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, no significant construction has taken place.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized sublease income of $0.1 million within Other (loss) income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

  1. Share Based Compensation

Omnibus Incentive Plan

At the 2019 Annual Shareholders Meeting of Thunder Bridge, the shareholders considered and approved the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) which resulted in the reservation of 7,326,728 shares of Class A common stock for issuance thereunder. The Incentive Plan initially became effective immediately upon the closing of the Business Combination. In June 2022, the Incentive Plan was amended and restated to reserve a total of 13,826,728 shares of Class A common stock for issuance thereunder.

Under this plan, the Company currently has four types of share-based compensation awards outstanding: performance stock units (“PSUs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based stock options (“PSOs”).

Share-Based Awards

The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense and the related income tax benefit recognized for the Company’s share-based compensation awards.

For PSUs, RSAs, and RSUs vested during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the total fair value, based upon the Company’s Class A common stock price at the date vested, was $7.4 million. Unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested PSUs, RSAs and RSUs was $33.4 million at March 31, 2024, which is expected to be recognized as expense over the weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

The Company recognized compensation expense for PSOs of $0.5 million during thethree months ended March 31, 2024. Unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding PSOs was $1.1 million at March 31, 2024, which is expected to be recognized as expense over the weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

The weighted average grant date fair value of PSOs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $2.61. Fair value was estimated on the date of grant using Monte Carlo simulation with the following weighted average assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate3.42%
Expected volatility52.82%
Dividend yield0%
Expected term (in years)4.5

The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury security with a maturity equal to the contractual term of seven years. The assumption on expected volatility was based on the average of historical peer group volatilities using daily prices. The dividend yield assumption was determined as 0% since the Company pays no dividends. Expected term was based on the simplified method outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 14, Share-Based Payment due to the fact that Company does not have sufficient historical data upon which to estimate an expected term. Given that the Company’s Class A common stock has been publicly traded for less than seven years, the Company believes that the simplified method is an applicable methodology to estimate the expected term of the options as of the grant date.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On August 18, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the Repay Holdings Corporation 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The purpose of the ESPP is to provide eligible employees with the opportunity to purchase the Company’s Class A common stock through accumulated payroll deductions. A total of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock are available for issuance under the ESPP. Under the ESPP, participants are offered the right to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a discount during a series of offering periods. The length of the offering periods under the ESPP will be determined by the administrator and may be up to twenty-seven months long.

  1. Taxation

Repay Holdings Corporation is taxed as a corporation and is subject to paying corporate federal, state and local taxes on the income allocated to it from Hawk Parent, based upon Repay Holding Corporation’s economic interest held in Hawk Parent, as well as any stand-alone income or loss it generates. Hawk Parent is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, Hawk Parent is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Hawk Parent’s members, including Repay Holdings Corporation, are liable for federal, state and local income taxes based on their allocable share of Hawk Parent’s pass-through taxable income.

The Company’s effective tax ratewas (6%) for thethree months ended March 31, 2024. The Company recorded an income tax expense of$0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 includes a stock-based compensation adjustments net tax shortfall of $1.6 million related to restricted stock awards vesting and a $0.4 million state rate change impact on deferred taxes, which are required to be recorded discretely in the interim period in which they occur. Theeffective tax rate of the Company differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the tax structure of the Company, the relative weighting of the noncontrolling interest, and lower income from operations over the current relevant period, as well as the aforementioned items required to be reported discretely in the interim period. The Company’s effective tax rate was (18%) for thethree months ended March 31, 2023. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $4.4 million for thethree months ended March 31, 2023. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 includes a stock-based compensation adjustments net tax shortfall of $2.1 million related to restricted stock awards vesting, which is required to be recorded discretely in the interim period in which it occurs. In addition, the effective tax rate includes a net tax impact of $5.8 million related to the disposition of BCS, which is required to be recorded discretely in the interim period in which it occurs due to it being a significant, infrequently occurring item disclosed separately in the quarterly financial statements.

The Company recognized an adjustment of$0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, of deferred tax assets related to the income tax benefit and expense, respectively, derived from the net operating income generated over the same period. The Company recognized $(4.4) million for thethree months ended March 31, 2023, of deferred tax assets related to the income tax expense derived from the net operating income generated over the same period.

Deferred tax assets, net of$146.6 million as of March 31, 2024, relates primarily to the basis difference in the Company’s investment in Hawk Parent. The basis difference arose primarily as a result of the subsequent exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units by the Company. In addition, as a result of the merger with BillingTree on June 15, 2021, an estimated opening deferred tax liability net of $36.1 million, as adjusted, was recorded. The merger was recognized as a Qualified Stock Purchase within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) Section 338(d)(3). As such, no step up in the tax asset basis was permitted creating an estimated net deferred tax liability related to the tax asset basis difference in the investment in Hawk Parent on the opening balance sheet date.

The Company did not recognize any adjustment to the deferred tax asset (“DTA”) and offsetting deferred tax liability (“DTL”) recorded as a result of the ceiling rule limitation arising under Code Sec. 704(c) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to account for the portion of the Company’s outside basis in the partnership interest that it will not recover through tax deductions. As the ceiling rule causes taxable income allocations to be in excess of 704(b) book allocations the DTL will unwind, leaving only the DTA, which may only be recovered through the sale of the partnership interest in Hawk Parent. The Company has concluded, based on the weight of all positive and negative evidence, that all of the DTA associated with the ceiling rule limitation is not likely to be realized. As such, a 100% valuation allowance was recognized.

No uncertain tax positions existed as of March 31, 2024.

Tax Receivable Agreement Liability

Pursuant to the Company’s election under Section 754 of the Code, the Company expects to obtain an increase in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of Hawk Parent when Post-Merger Repay Units are redeemed or exchanged for Class A common stock of Repay Holdings Corporation. The Company intends to treat any redemptions and exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units as direct purchases for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that the Company would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.

On July 11, 2019, the Company entered into a TRA that provides for the payment by the Company of 100%of the amount of any tax benefits realized, or in some cases are deemed to realize, as a result of (i) increases in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of Hawk Parent resulting from any redemptions or exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units and from its acquisition of the equity of the selling Hawk Parent members, (ii) tax basis increases attributable to payments made under the TRA, and (iii) deductions attributable to imputed interest pursuant to the TRA (the “TRA Payments”). The

TRAPayments are not conditioned upon any continued ownership interest in Hawk Parent or the Company. The rights of each party under the TRA other than the Company are assignable. The timing and amount of aggregate payments due under the TRA may vary based on a number of factors, including the timing and amount of taxable income generated by the Company each year, as well as the tax rate then applicable, among other factors.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had a liability of$191.2 million related to its projected obligations under the TRA, which is captioned as tax receivable agreement liability in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The increase of$2.3 million in the TRA liability for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily a result of the decrease in the Early Termination Rate and accretion, partially offset by a decrease in the tax rate and a payment of the current portion of the TRA liability, as reported at December 31, 2023, over the same period.

  1. Segments

The Company organizes its business structure aroundtwo operating segments based on review of discrete financial results for each of the operating segments by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), for performance assessment and resource allocation purposes.
