- Organizational Structure and Corporate Information
Repay Holdings Corporation was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on July 11, 2019 in connection with the closing of a transaction (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to which Thunder Bridge Acquisition Ltd., a special purpose acquisition company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Thunder Bridge”), (a) domesticated into a Delaware corporation and changed its name to “Repay Holdings Corporation” and (b) consummated the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Thunder Bridge with and into Hawk Parent Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Hawk Parent”).
Throughout this section, unless otherwise noted or unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we”, “us”, “Repay” and the “Company” and similar references refer to Repay Holdings Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
On March 27, 2026, the Company entered into and consummated an asset purchase agreement with a strategic distribution partner for a purchase price of approximately $22.5 million. The transaction primarily reflects a buyout of the partner’s economic interests in the underlying commercial arrangement. The acquired assets consisted of customer relationships, customer contracts, intellectual property and other tangible and intangible assets.
On March 30, 2026, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Hearst KUBRA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, KUBRA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Kubra US”) and KUBRA Data Transfer Ltd., an Ontario corporation (“Kubra Canada” and together with Kubra US, “KUBRA”), pursuant to which the Company would acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of KUBRA (the “KUBRA Acquisition”). The KUBRA Acquisition was closed on June 1, 2026. The Company paid an aggregate consideration of$354.1 million at closing under the terms of the stock purchase agreement. The Company financed the KUBRA Acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million.
On April 13, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend ofone preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of Class A common stock, and adopted a stockholder rights plan, as set forth in the Stockholder Rights Agreement, dated as of April 13, 2026 (the “Rights Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as rights agent. The dividend was paid on April 24, 2026 to Company stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 24, 2026.
In general terms, the Rights Agreement imposes significant dilution upon any person or group (other than the Company, certain related persons and other exceptions as set forth in the Rights Agreement) that is or becomes the beneficial owner of 12.5% (the “Triggering Percentage”) or more of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock without the prior approval of the Board. A person or group that becomes the beneficial owner of the Triggering Percentage or more is called an “Acquiring Person.” Any Rights held by an Acquiring Person will be null and void and may not be exercised. Stockholders that beneficially owned the Triggering Percentage or more of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock on the date the plan was adopted are not considered Acquiring Persons; however, such stockholders generally may not acquire, or obtain the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of one or more additional shares of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock. The term “beneficial ownership” is defined in the Rights Agreement and includes, among other things, certain securities that may be exercised or converted into shares of Class A common stock and certain derivative arrangements. This description of the Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and should be read together with the entire Rights Agreement, which was included as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 14, 2026, and incorporated by reference hereto.
On August 13, 2026, the Company made a $14.0 million initial cash payment in connection with the acquisition of a license to a third party’s integrated payables software and rights with respect to certain related bank reseller contracts. The Company may also be required to make contingent cash payments up to $6.0 million in the aggregate based on the bank reseller contracts successfully assigned to the Company. The licensor is also providing transitional hosting, maintenance and other support services for specified periods while the bank reseller portfolio is migrated to the Company’s platform, and the Company will pay quarterly charges for these services.
- 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, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”).
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, its wholly owned subsidiary KUBRA US Acquisition Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiary, Hawk Parent Holdings LLC, along with Hawk Parent Holdings LLC’s wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassification
The Company changed its presentation for customer deposits from Accrued expenses and Other liabilities to Contract liabilities and its presentation for deferred revenue from Other current liabilities to Contract liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Segment Reporting
The Company reports operating results throughtwo reportable segments: (1) Consumer Payments and (2) Business Payments, as further discussed in Note 15. Segments.
Accounting Policies related to KUBRA Acquisition
As a result of the KUBRA Acquisition, the Company implemented the following accounting policies in addition to the accounting policies in Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Company’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Form 10-K.
Inventories
Inventories consist principally of paper, envelopes, ink and toner, and represent products available for sale and are accounted for using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
The Company assesses the valuation of inventory and periodically writes down the value for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based upon estimates of future demand and market conditions. Inventory valuation requires the Company to make judgments, based on information available at each reporting period. Inventory valuation losses are recorded as cost of services.
Finance Lease
The Company leases certain printing equipment used in its production operations under arrangements that are accounted for as finance leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases(“ASC 842”). At the commencement date of a lease, the Company determines whether the arrangement contains a lease and classifies the lease as either an operating lease or a finance lease based on the criteria prescribed by ASC 842.
For finance leases, the Company recognizes ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet at the lease commencement date. Lease liabilities are measured as the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets are initially measured as the amount of lease liabilities, adjusted for any lease payments made before commencement, initial direct costs incurred, and lease incentives received.
Finance lease ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis, over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the underlying asset. Amortization expense associated with finance lease ROU assets is included within Cost of services in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, as appropriate based on the use of the leased assets. Interest expense on finance lease liabilities is recognized using the effective interest method and recorded within Interest expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company evaluates finance lease ROU assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized in accordance with the guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.

ASU 2025-11 includes a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, for public business entities and for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, for entities other than public business entities, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of ASU 2025-11 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
- Revenue
For the Company’s accounting policies for recognizing revenue and contract costs, see Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 3. Revenue to the Company’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Form 10-K.
As a result of the KUBRA Acquisition, the Company has acquired a bill presentment revenue stream, a communication services revenue stream and a professional services revenue stream. All revenue streams have been presented within Revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Bill Presentment Revenue
Bill presentment revenue consists of fees for the design, preparation, printing and distribution of paper and electronic bills, invoices and other documents, including document fulfillment and print and mail services. Fees are generally a fixed amount per bill or document and are billed in arrears based on actual volumes. Revenue from print and mail services is recognized at the point in time when the data is processed and the documents are printed, folded, inserted and delivered to the postal service. Revenue from electronic bill presentment is recognized at the point in time the bill is delivered, as the service is provided. The amount of bill presentment revenue is driven primarily by clients’ underlying billing and statement volumes and is affected by factors such as postal rate changes and paper and print input costs.
Communication Services Revenue
Communication services revenue consists primarily of automated messaging, including text and email communications and service outage notifications, principally for utility clients. Fees consist of a fixed fee per interaction, annual subscription fees, and annual maintenance and support fees. Revenue from per-interaction fees is recognized when the message is delivered, and subscription, maintenance and support fees are recognized ratably over the contract term. Communication services revenue is included within professional services and other revenue in the disaggregation of revenue tables below.
Professional Services Revenue
Professional services revenue consists of fees from one-time professional services, consulting, implementation and delivery arrangements. Revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time depending on specific contract terms. For milestone-based contracts defined in statements of work (“SOW”), revenue is recognized as individual contract milestones are achieved and accepted. For other arrangements, performance obligations are completed when the final deliverables or work results are placed into production and in use by the customer.
Amounts invoiced in advance of revenue recognition are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue as the related performance obligations are satisfied. Deferred revenue is expected to be recognized as revenue within one year and is classified within Contract liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Disaggregation of revenue
The Company’s revenue is from three types of services: (i) payment processing, (ii) bill presentment and (iii) professional services and other. The payment processing revenue is further disaggregated by two types of relationships: (i) direct relationships and (ii) indirect relationships. The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by segment for the periods indicated.
Payment processing revenue is earned from fees on payment transactions processed and varies with payment volumes, interchange and network fees, and client attrition. It is further disaggregated by type of relationship: (a) direct relationships and (b) indirect relationships.
Bill presentment revenue is earned from fees for producing and distributing bills and related documents and varies with clients’ billing volumes, postal rates and print input costs.
Professional services and other revenue includes professional services, communication services, and other revenue, and varies with client onboarding and implementation activity and with messaging and subscription activity.

Direct relationships revenue includes $1.0 million and $3.7 million of interest earned on settlements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. Direct relationships revenue includes $1.6 million and $3.8 millionof interest earned on settlements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Interest earned on settlements do not represent revenues recognized in the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers.
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 $3.5 million and $3.2 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is included within Prepaid expenses and other in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company records contract liabilities to deferred revenue when the Company receives customer payments in advance of the performance obligation being satisfied on the Company’s contracts. The contract liabilities contain $8.9 million of customer deposits and $17.5 million of deferred revenue as of September 30, 2026, and are included within Contract liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company recorded deferred commissions of $2.6 million and $2.3 million, net of amortization, respectively, within Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amortization of deferred commissions is recorded within Selling, general and administrative in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
- Earnings Per Share
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same since the inclusion of the assumed exchange of all limited liability company interests of Hawk Parent (“Post-Merger Repay Units”), unvested share-based awards, outstanding stock options, outstanding employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) purchase rights and the Company’s convertible senior notes would have been anti-dilutive.
The following table summarizes net income (loss) attributable to the Company and the weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ($ in thousands, except per share data) | 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 |

Represents unvested RSAs, RSUs and PSUs. For PSUs, share numbers are based on the 100% target payout level.
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.
- Business Combination
KUBRA
On March 30, 2026, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with respect to the KUBRA Acquisition, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital of KUBRA. The KUBRA Acquisition was closed on June 1,2026. Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement between the Company and the owner of KUBRA (“KUBRA Purchase Agreement”), the aggregate cash purchase price for the KUBRA Acquisition was approximately $354.1 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The closing cash consideration was funded with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Credit Agreement (defined below). The KUBRA Purchase
Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and the former owners of KUBRA, as well as a customary post-closing adjustment provision relating to working capital and similar items.
The Company recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to KUBRA’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the June 1, 2026 closing date. The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:
| ($ in thousands) | |
|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | $5,924 |
| Accounts receivable | 28,105 |
| Other receivable | 1,648 |
| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 9,177 |
| Total current assets | 44,854 |
| Property, plant and equipment, net | 2,274 |
| Lease ROU assets, net | 10,760 |
| Identifiable intangible assets | 237,000 |
| Total identifiable assets acquired | 294,888 |
| Accounts payable | (17,433) |
| Accrued expenses and other liabilities | (29,644) |
| Lease liabilities | (10,760) |
| Deferred tax liabilities | (60,003) |
| Net identifiable assets acquired | 177,048 |
| Goodwill | 177,027 |
| Total purchase price | $354,075 |
The preliminary values allocated to identifiable intangible assets and their estimated useful lives are as follows:
| Fair Value | Useful life | |
|---|---|---|
| Identifiable intangible assets | (in millions) | (in years) |
| Client relationships | $225.0 | 10 |
| Developed technology | 8.5 | 3 |
| Trade names | 3.5 | Indefinite |
| $237.0 |
Good will of $177.0 million represents the excess of the gross consideration transferred over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, of which $0 is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill was allocated 100% to the Company’s Cons umer Payments segment. Qualitative factors that contribute to the recognition of goodwill include certain intangible assets that are not recognized as separate identifiable intangible assets apart from goodwill. Intangible assets not recognized apart from goodwill consist primarily of the strong market position and the assembled workforce of KUBRA.
KUBRA contributed $85.9 million to revenue and $17.8 million in net income to the Company’s unaudited interim Consolidated Statements of Operations, from June 1, 2026 through September 30, 2026.
Transaction Expenses
The Company incurred transaction expenses of $2.0 million and $4.3 million for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, related to the KUBRA Acquisition.
Measurement Period
The preliminary purchase price allocations for the KUBRA Acquisition are based on initial estimates and provisional amounts. For the acquisition completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company continues to refine its inputs and estimates inherent in the valuation of intangible assets, deferred income taxes, realization of tangible assets and the accuracy and completeness of liabilities within the measurement period. The Company is conducting a transfer pricing study to document legal ownership of intellectual property and appropriate intercompany royalty rates between KUBRA’s U.S. and Canadian legal entities. The outcome of this study may change (i) the allocation of intangible asset values and associated tax amortization benefits between U.S. and Canadian tax jurisdictions, and (ii) the opening deferred tax liability, both of which would flow through to a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.
Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)
The supplemental consolidated results of the Company on an unaudited pro forma basis give effect to KUBRA Acquisition as if the transactions had occurred on January 1, 2025. The unaudited pro forma information reflects adjustments for the debt incurred in connection with the transactions, the impact of the fair value of intangible assets acquired and related amortization and other adjustments the Company believes are reasonable for the pro forma presentation.

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 under ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities, 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, term loan facility and convertible senior notes are measured at amortized cost, which the carrying value is unpaid principal net of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs (“DDIC”). The estimated fair value of the revolving credit facility and term loan facility approximates the unpaid principal because its interest rate approximates market interest rates. The estimated fair value of convertible senior notes is determined using the quoted prices from over-the-counter markets. The estimated fair value of the Company’s borrowings is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the market interest rates and quoted prices are generally observable and do not contain a high level of subjectivity.
The following table provides the carrying value and estimated fair value of borrowings. See Note 10. Borrowings for further discussion on borrowings.
| ($ in thousands) | Principal Amount | Unamortized DDIC | Carrying Value | Fair Value |

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 consolidated financial statements. The Company elected to measure TRA at fair value under ASC 825, Financial Instruments - Fair Value Option, to better align its economic value with the Company’s risk management strategies. The fair value of TRA is 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 5.62% was applied to the forecasted TRA payments at September 30, 2026, in order to determine the fair value. A significant increase or decrease in the discount rate could have resulted in a lower or higher balance, respectively, as of the measurement date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the TRA balance was adjusted by $8.6 million through a payment, accretion expense and a valuation adjustment, primarily related to a change in the discount rate, which was 5.59% as of December 31, 2025.
The following table provides a rollforward of the TRA related to the acquisition and exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units. See Note 14. Taxation for further discussion on the TRA.

The Company recognized adjustments of $1.8 million and $3.6 million for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, of deferred tax assets related to the income benefit, derived from the net operating loss generated over the same period.
Deferred tax assets, net of$154.5 million as of September 30, 2026, relates primarily to the basis difference in the Company’s investment in Hawk Parent. The basis difference arose primarily as a result of the subsequent exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units by the Company. In addition, as a result of the merger with BillingTree on June 15, 2021, an estimated opening deferred tax liability net of $36.1 million, as adjusted, was recorded. The merger was recognized as a Qualified Stock Purchase within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) Section 338(d)(3). As such, no step up in the tax asset basis was permitted creating an estimated net deferred tax liability related to the tax asset basis difference in the investment in Hawk Parent on the opening balance sheet date. Furthermore, as part of the 2029 Notes issuance on July 8, 2024, the Company incurred $39.2 million of costs for privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions to cover the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the 2029 Notes. The capped call had an initial strike price of $13.02 per share and a cap price of $20.42 per share, which is subject to certain adjustments. For tax purposes, this is considered a tax-efficient capped call (i.e., the capped call is integrated with the 2029 Notes in accordance with Section 1.1275-6 of the Code). As such, the total $39.2 million incurred to acquire the capped call is treated as original issue discount (“OID”) on synthetic debt and eligible for a deduction as interest expense over the life of the instrument, subject to certain limitations under 163(j). As a result of the capped call being booked as equity for GAAP purposes instead of OID on synthetic debt, the Company was required to set up a tax effected deferred tax asset of $9.9 million for the equivalent amount of the capped call. This temporary difference created as a result of the OID Interest Expense deduction is expected to be realized over the term of the instrument. Inaddition, as a result of the KUBRA
Acquisitionon June 1, 2026, an estimated opening balance sheet deferred tax liability net of $60.0 million, as adjusted, was recorded. The transaction was recognized as a Qualified Stock Purchase within the meaning of Code Section 338(d)(3). As such, no step up in the income tax asset basis was permitted creating an estimated net deferred tax liability related to the estimated tax asset basis difference of $22.0 million, as adjusted, in the investment in Hawk Parent. The remaining $38.0 million, as adjusted, represents the estimated opening balance sheet deferred tax liability of the estimated tax asset basis of Kubra Canada.
The Company did not recognize any adjustment to the deferred tax asset (“DTA”) and offsetting deferred tax liability (“DTL”) recorded as a result of the ceiling rule limitation arising under Code Sec. 704(c) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, 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. It is not expected that the KUBRA Acquisition will change the valuation assertion with respect to the ceiling rule for the DTA.
No uncertain tax positions existed as of September 30, 2026.
Tax Receivable Agreement Liability
Pursuant to the Company’s election under Section 754 of the Code, the Company expects to obtain an increase in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of Hawk Parent when Post-Merger Repay Units are redeemed or exchanged for Class A common stock of Repay Holdings Corporation. The Company intends to treat any redemptions and exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units as direct purchases for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that the Company would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.
On July 11, 2019, the Company entered into a TRA that provides for the payment by the Company of 100% of the amount of any tax benefits realized, or in some cases are deemed to realize, as a result of (i) increases in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of Hawk Parent resulting from any redemptions or exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units and from its acquisition of the equity of the selling Hawk Parent members, (ii) tax basis increases attributable to payments made under the TRA, and (iii) deductions attributable to imputed interest pursuant to the TRA (the “TRA Payments”). The TRA Payments are not conditioned upon any continued ownership interest in Hawk Parent or the Company. The rights of each party under the TRA other than the Company are assignable. The timing and amount of aggregate payments due under the TRA may vary based on a number of factors, including the timing and amount of taxable income generated by the Company each year, as well as the tax rate then applicable, among other factors.
As of September 30, 2026, the Company had a liability of$192.4 million related to its projected obligations under the TRA, which is captioned as Tax receivable agreement, net of current portion in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The TRA liability decreased by$8.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The decrease was primarily due to a $13.7 million payment on the current portion of the liability, an increase in Early Termination Rate from the rate used at December 31, 2025, and changes in the expected timing of future TRA payments used in the fair value assessment, partially offset by accretion of the TRA liability.
- 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. Each of the Company’s operating segments represents a reportable segment based on ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Company’stwo reportable segments are as follows: (1) Consumer Payments and (2) Business Payments. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. For both segments, the CODM uses the segment gross profit to allocate resources (including employees, property, and financial or capital resources) and assess performance of each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis for the gross profit measure when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments.
The Consumer Payments segment provides an end-to-end bill payment platform, including bill design & presentment, communication services, and payment processing solutions (including debit and credit card processing, ACH processing and other electronic payment acceptance solutions, as well as our loan disbursement product) that enable the Company’s clients to notify, distribute billing statements, collect payments, and disburse funds to consumers and includes the Company’s clearing and settlement solutions (“RCS”) offering. RCS is the Company’s proprietary clearing and settlement platform through which the Company markets customizable payment processing programs to other Independent Sales Organizations (“ISOs”) and payment facilitators. In addition, the Company provides professional services to clients for customization and configuration of the product suite offering. The strategic vertical markets served by the Consumer Payments segment primarily include utilities, personal loans, automotive loans, government, receivables management, financial institutions, credit unions, mortgage servicing, consumer healthcare, insurance, and diversified retail. The Consumer Payments segment represented approximately 84% and 85% of the Company’s total revenue after any intersegment eliminations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. The Consumer Payments segment represented approximately 85% of the Company’s total revenue after any intersegment eliminations for both thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
The Business Payments segment provides payment processing solutions (including accounts payable automation, debit and credit card processing, virtual credit card processing, ACH processing and other electronic payment acceptance solutions) that enable the Company’s clients to collect or send payments to other businesses. The strategic vertical markets served within the Business Payments segment primarily include retail automotive, education, field services, governments and municipalities, healthcare, media, HOA management and hospitality. The Business Payments segment represented approximately 16% and 15% of the Company’s total revenue after any intersegment eliminations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. The Business Payments segment represented approximately 15% of the Company’s total revenue after any intersegment eliminations for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
