Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – GENERAL OVERVIEW

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Principles of consolidation, basis of presentation and accounting principles:
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (hereafter – U.S. GAAP) and include the accounts of Payoneer Global Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The consolidated interim financial information herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of Payoneer Global Inc. and its subsidiaries.
b. Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, allowance for capital advance receivables, income taxes, goodwill, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, and loss contingencies.
c. Customer funds and investments:
Beginning in February 2024, the Company invested certain customer funds in available-for-sale debt securities. These securities are reported at fair value, net of any unamortized discount or premium, accrued interest, and unrealized gains and losses, within ‘Customer funds’ on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”), net of related estimated tax provisions or benefits. Interest income, amortization of any discount or premium, and realized gains and losses on these securities are recognized within revenue from other sources. In the period of sale, any unrealized gain or loss previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) is reversed.
The Company accounts for purchases and sales of securities on the trade date and recognizes any related cut-off asset or liability within other current assets or other payables, respectively.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
d. Derivatives and Hedging
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk due to operating expenses denominated in New Israeli Shekels. To reduce that risk, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts and net purchased options to hedge foreign currency risk related to its foreign operations in Israel. The company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company designates derivatives as hedges of forecasted transactions (“cash flow” hedges) or derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. To qualify for hedge accounting treatment, a derivative must be highly effective in mitigating the designated risk of the hedged item. Effectiveness of the hedge is formally assessed at inception and throughout the life of the hedging relationship. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of derivative contracts on a quarterly basis by comparing the critical terms of the derivative instruments with the critical terms of the forecasted cash flows of the hedged item; if the critical terms are the same, the Company concludes the hedge will be perfectly effective. The Company does not exclude any component of the changes in fair value of the derivative instruments from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
To the extent that derivatives qualify as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value are recorded, net of applicable taxes, in OCI and subsequently reclassified into the same statement of comprehensive income line item as the hedged exposure when the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. The cash flows associated with derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Derivatives that are not designated hedges are adjusted to fair value into earnings through financial income or expense. The cash flows associated with these derivatives, if any, are reported in cash flows from investing activities.
e. Recently issued accounting pronouncements:
FASB Standards issued, but not adopted as of March 31, 2024
In 2023, the FASB issued guidance, ASU 2023-09, which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). It also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments (net of refunds received) to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In 2023, the FASB issued guidance, ASU 2023-07, that requires entities to report incremental information about significant segment expenses included in a segment’s profit or loss measure as well as the name and title of the chief operating decision maker. The guidance also requires interim disclosures related to reportable segment profit or loss and assets that had previously only been disclosed annually. The amendments also require entities with a single reportable segment to provide all disclosures required by these amendments, and all existing segment disclosures. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and must be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 4 – CUSTOMER FUNDS AND INVESTMENTS
Beginning in February 2024, the Company invested certain customer funds in available-for-sale debt securities. The following table summarizes the assets underlying customer funds as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
| | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| · March 31, · · · December 31, | |||||

| Available-for-sale debt securities | | 99,123 | | | — |
| Total customer funds | $5,920,924 | | $6,390,526 | ||
As of March 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of these available-for-sale debt securities included the following unrealized gains and losses. All of the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities at March 31, 2024 were due mature within one year or less:
| · · · · · · · · · · · | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | March 31, 2024 | ||||||
| | Gross Amortized Cost | | Gross Unrealized Gains | | Gross Unrealized Losses | | Estimated Fair Value |
| U.S. treasury securities | $99,124 | | $2 | | $(3) | | $99,123 |
As of March 31, 2024, the gross unrealized losses and estimated fair value of our available-for-sale debt securities included within customer funds for which an allowance for credit losses was not deemed necessary in the current period, aggregated by the length of time those individual securities have been in a continuous loss position, was as follows:
| · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| U.S. treasury securities | $49,467 | | $(3) | | $— | | $— | | $49,467 | | $(3) |
Unrealized losses have not been recognized into income as the Company neither intends to sell, nor anticipates that it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. The decline in fair value is due primarily to changes in market interest rates, rather than credit losses. The Company will continue to monitor the performance of the investment portfolio and assess whether impairment due to expected credit losses has occurred. During the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not sell any available-for-sale debt securities or incur any realized gains or losses.
NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
The table below summarizes the gross notional amount and fair value of outstanding derivative instruments at March 31, 2024. No derivative instruments were outstanding at December 31, 2023.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $34 in unrealized gains on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in OCI.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company estimated that $34 of unrealized gains related to cash flow hedges currently included in AOCI are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2024, the maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 6 months. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not discontinue any cash flow hedges because it was probable that the original forecasted transaction would not occur and as such, did not reclassify any gains or losses to earnings prior to the occurrence of the hedged transaction.

The Company’s derivative instruments are valued using pricing models that take into account the contract terms and relevant currency rates.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair values of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, customer funds (other than the portion consisting of available-for-sale debt securities), restricted cash, accounts receivable, capital advance receivables, accounts payable, outstanding operating balances, and long-term debt approximated the carrying values of these instruments presented in the Company's consolidated balance sheets because of their nature. The fair value of long-term debt, when carrying value does not approximate fair value, is determined using Level 3 unobservable inputs and assumptions by the Company.

NOTE 11 – DEBT
On October 28, 2021, Payoneer Early Payments Inc. (“PEPI”), a wholly-owned second tier subsidiary of the Company and its subsidiary (the “Borrower”) entered into a Receivables and Loan Security Agreement (the “Warehouse Facility”) with Viola Credit VI, L.P. (currently known as Viola Credit ALF II, L.P.), Viola Credit Alternative Lending FNX SPV, L.P. (the “Lenders”) and Viola Credit Alternative Lending Management 2018 L.P. (collectively, the “Parties”) for the purpose of external financing of Capital Advance activity. The Company notes that the Lenders are related parties through the Company’s Board of Directors’ chairman’s ownership interest in the Lenders. Refer to Note 20 for further information regarding related party considerations.
In accordance with the Warehouse Facility agreement, the Lenders will make available to the Company an initial committed amount of $25,000, which may be increased at the request of the Company, and with the consent of the Lenders, in $25,000 increments up to $100,000. The associated borrowings will be secured by the assets of the Borrower, which consist primarily of capital advance receivables as well as a pledge of the equity of the Borrower. The recourse under the Warehouse Facility agreement is limited to Borrower's assets, and no other Payoneer entity guarantees repayment by the Borrower.
The Warehouse Facility agreement stipulates a borrowing base calculated at an advance rate of 80% out of the eligible portfolio outstanding receivables balance.
As of July 1, 2023, the Warehouse Facility bears interest at the sum of the Daily Simple SOFR and 0.26161% plus:
| ● | 9.00% per annum if the commitment amount is $25,000; |
| ● | 7.75% per annum if the commitment amount is $50,000; |
| ● | 7.50% per annum if the commitment amount is $75,000; |
| ● | 7.00% per annum if the commitment amount is $100,000. |
Prior to July 1, 2023, interest on the facility was calculated as the greater of 0.25% or LIBOR plus the additional percentage amounts per annum based on commitment amount noted above.
On June 8, 2022, the Warehouse Facility agreement was amended to create a condition that the total interest rate, calculated as the sum per above, shall not exceed 10.5% per annum for all outstanding balances.
The revolving period of the facility is 36 months from the closing date and the maturity date is 42 months from the date the Warehouse Facility agreement was entered into.
NOTE 11 – DEBT (continued):
The Company recorded expenses, included in transaction costs, in the total amount of $438 and $421 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the outstanding associated balance was $14,429 with $124 of accrued expenses included in Other payables. As of December 31, 2023, the outstanding associated balance was $18,411 with $168 of accrued expenses included in Other payables.
The Warehouse Facility agreement includes certain affirmative and negative covenants that must be maintained by the Company and includes certain financial measures such as minimum tangible equity and minimum unrestricted cash at the Company level. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the debt approximates the book value due to the short time span between initiation and balance sheet date with the outstanding balance classified as Level 3 in the fair value leveling hierarchy as the inputs into the valuation are not observable.

Share Repurchase Program and Treasury Stock
On May 7, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program that provides for the repurchase of up to $80,000 of its common stock, including any applicable excise tax.

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company’s business is subject to various laws and regulations in the United States and other countries from where the Company operates. Any regulatory action, tax or legal challenge against the Company for noncompliance with any regulatory or legal requirement could result in significant fines, penalties, or other enforcement actions, increased costs of doing business through adverse judgment or settlement, reputational harm, the diversion of significant amounts of management time and operational resources, and could require changes in compliance requirements or impose limits on the Company’s ability to expand its product offerings, or otherwise harm or have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. From time to time, the Company incurs insignificant fines and penalties in the ordinary course of business.
NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued):
On September 28, 2021, the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) and the Bank of Mexico revoked the banking license of a banking entity utilized by the Company due to the banking entity not meeting applicable capital requirements. As a result, the Company is unable to withdraw funds from the banking entity. The Company has reserved $2,250 for potential losses related to those funds above the recovered amount. The Company applied for and recovered the maximum statutory reimbursement through the deposit insurance provided by Mexican Institute for the Protection of Banking Services (IPAB), totaling $140. The Company has filed a claim in liquidation for the remaining funds; however, the percentage of the deposit that will be recovered in liquidation is not known at this time.
On August 7, 2023, Payoneer (Guangzhou) Commerce Services Co., Ltd. (“Payoneer Guangzhou”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with a non-bank payments institution (the “Licenseholder”), that offers pay-out and mobile payments solutions to merchants in the People’s Republic of China and holds a Payment Business License issued by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBoC”).
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Payoneer Guangzhou seeks to purchase the Licenseholder, and placed approximately $4 million in escrow in October 2023, representing a small portion of the agreed upon consideration for the purchase. In the event of termination of the agreement, such escrow amount will be returned to Payoneer Guangzhou, and in the event of a successful transaction, it will be applied to the full purchase price. The closing of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and termination provisions provided for in the agreement, as well as, governmental registrations and approvals, including the approval of the Transaction by the PBoC, and timing is uncertain.
From time to time, the Company is involved in other disputes or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business. These may include suits by its customers alleging, among other things, acting unfairly and/or not in conformity regarding pricing, rules or agreements, improper disclosure of the Company’s prices, rules, or policies or that the Company’s practices, prices, rules, policies, or customer agreements violate applicable law.
In addition to these types of disputes and regulatory inquiries, the operations of the Company are also subject to regulatory and/or legal review and/or challenges that tend to reflect the increasing global regulatory focus to which the industry in which the Company operates is subject and, when taken as a whole with other regulatory and legislative action, such actions could result in the imposition of costly new compliance burdens on the Company and may lead to increased costs and decreased transaction volume and revenue. Any claims or regulatory actions against the Company, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, settlement payments, damage awards (including statutory damages for certain causes of action in certain jurisdictions), fines, penalties, injunctive relief, or increased costs of doing business through adverse judgment or settlement, require the Company to change its business practices, require significant amounts of management time, result in the diversion of operational resources, or otherwise harm the business.

The Company applies an estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date operating results to determine the interim provision for income tax expense.

The Company had an effective tax rate of 32% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to an effective tax rate of 54% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% was the result of foreign income taxed at different rates, as well as an increase in the provision for uncertain tax positions.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance in jurisdictions where it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, the Company evaluates factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings and the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences. As of March 31, 2024, the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets in Germany and maintains its previous conclusion that a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in the United States and Israel is not necessary.
