Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – GENERAL OVERVIEW
Unless otherwise noted herein, “we”, “us”, “our”, “Payoneer”, and the “Company” refer to Payoneer Global Inc.
Payoneer, incorporated in Delaware, empowers global commerce by connecting businesses, professionals, countries and currencies with its diversified cross-border payments platform. Payoneer enables small and medium-sized businesses (“SMB(s)”) around the globe to reach new audiences by reducing the complexity of cross-border trade, and facilitating seamless, cross-border payments.

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, 2025 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, 2024, 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, contingent consideration associated with M&A, and loss contingencies.
c. Stock-based compensation:
As further discussed in Note 19, in February 2025, the Company granted performance stock units (“PSUs”) under its Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan.
PSUs are accounted for using the grant date fair value method, based on the grant date share price. The Company recognizes expense over the requisite service period using a graded vesting model. For unvested awards with performance conditions, the Company assesses the probability of attaining the performance conditions at each reporting period. Awards that are deemed probable of attainment are recognized in expense over the requisite service period.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
d. Recently issued accounting pronouncements:
FASB Standards issued, but not adopted as of March 31, 2025
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, and can be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In 2024, the FASB issued guidance, ASU 2024-03, which requires the disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and can be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
NOTE 3 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On August 5, 2024, Payoneer acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Skuad Pte. Ltd. (“Skuad”) and its subsidiaries, a global workforce and payroll management company. The acquisition accelerates Payoneer’s strategy to deliver a comprehensive and integrated financial stack for SMBs that operate globally. The transaction was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805,Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), using the acquisition method of accounting with Payoneer as the acquirer.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the consideration transferred (after measurement period adjustments during the year ended December 31, 2024):
| | | |
|---|---|---|
| | Amounts Recognized as of Acquisition Date (Adjusted) | |
| Cash | $61,099 | |
| Contingent consideration | | 6,974 |
| Extinguishment of pre-existing receivable | | 1,000 |
| Settlement of unvested acquiree stock-based compensation awards | | 315 |
| Total | $69,388 | |
The contingent consideration was in the form of a $9,709 earn-out subject to meeting certain performance criteria. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using estimates of probability of each outcome and the Option Pricing Model (“OPM”), except for with respect to the integration plan target, which is not exposed to systemic risk. Refer to Note 7 below for details on changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration since acquisition.
NOTE 3 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (continued):
The following table summarizes the recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (after measurement period adjustments during the year ended December 31, 2024):
| | | |
|---|---|---|
| | Amounts Recognized as of Acquisition Date (Adjusted) | |
| Cash and cash equivalents and restricted deposits | $3,875 | |
| Customer funds | | 9,005 |
| Accounts receivable | | 4,294 |
| Tax indemnification asset | | 3,004 |
| Customer relationships intangible asset | | 6,683 |
| Developed technology intangible asset | | 2,354 |
| Other assets | | 1,499 |
| Trade payables | | (1,514) |
| Outstanding operating balances | | (9,005) |
| Deferred tax liabilities, net | | (1,373) |
| Uncertain tax positions | | (3,004) |
| Other payables | | (4,326) |
| Total identifiable net assets | $11,492 | |
| Goodwill | $57,896 | |
| Total | $69,388 | |
The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is primarily attributable to the significant synergies expected to arise from the acquisition, including enhancement of Payoneer’s comprehensive and integrated financial stack. The Company doesnot expect goodwill to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Due to Skuad’s insignificant size relative to the Company, Payoneer is not providing supplemental pro forma financial information.
The allocation of the purchase price for this acquisition has been prepared on a preliminary basis and changes to the allocation to certain assets, liabilities, and tax estimates may occur as additional information becomes available throughout the measurement period, which will not exceed 12 months from the date of the acquisition.

| | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

NOTE 5 – CUSTOMER FUNDS AND INVESTMENTS (continued):
As of March 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the available-for-sale debt securities included $5,783 in unrealized gains and $471 in unrealized losses, net of tax. The gross unrealized losses of $606 related to assets with a fair value of $278,969, which had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months.
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 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, 2025, the Company did not sell any available-for-sale debt securities or incur any realized gains or losses.
As of March 31, 2025, $307,858 of the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities were due to mature within one year or less, and $884,471 were due to mature between one and five years.

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING (continued):
Note 1: The Company’s investment in interest rate derivative instruments consists of three andfive year investments in 3% interest rate floors to hedge interest income on a $1,900,000 notional investment of customer funds in floating rate cash equivalent instruments. The short-term portion of the investments’ fair value shown in the tables above relates to the portion of the hedge expiring within one year of the balance sheet date.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $3,285 and $28 in unrealized gains, net of tax, on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in OCI, respectively.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company estimated that $3,700 of unrealized losses 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, 2025, the maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 55 months. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 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.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recognized an obligation to return cash collateral related to interest rate floors of $24,260 and $18,790, respectively, which was offset against the gross derivative balances shown in the table above.

On December 7, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized an amendment to the program to increase the authorized amount of repurchases to an aggregate amount not to exceed $250,000, including the amount that remained available as of December 7, 2023 to repurchase common stock under, but not any prior repurchases effected pursuant to, the previous authorization, and any applicable excise tax. The amended authorization expires on December 31, 2025.
NOTE 14 – WARRANTS AND SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued):
The program is intended to offset the impact of dilution from the issuance of new shares as part of employee compensation programs.
Any share repurchases under this stock repurchase program may be made through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or other means including in accordance with Rule 10b-18 and/or Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The timing and total amount of repurchases is subject to business and market conditions and the Company’s discretion.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 1,880,309 shares of its common stock for $16,978 at a weighted average cost of $9.04 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 10,533,934 shares of its common stock for $51,160 at a weighted average cost of $4.84 per share. As of March 31, 2025, a total of $86,773 remained available for future repurchases of the Company’s common stock under the program.
Warrants
The Company had publicly traded warrants that were assumed upon the closing of the business combination with FTAC Olympus Acquisition Corp. in June 2021, and were exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock. Warrants were only exercisable for a whole number of shares at an exercise price of $11.50 and would expire on June 25, 2026, or earlier, if redeemed. In September 2024, the Company completed a tender offer (the “Offer”) to repurchase all outstanding Warrants, at $0.78 per Warrant. Concurrently with the Offer, the Company solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of its outstanding Warrants to amend the agreement governing the Warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”) to permit the Company to redeem all Warrants that remained outstanding after the completion of the Offer for $0.70 per Warrant in cash, without interest.
During 2024,24,030,937 Warrants were validly tendered and were repurchased for $0.78 per Warrant, or $18,744 in total, with a $13,217 loss recognized upon repurchase, which was the result of the premium paid above the valuation of the Warrants as of the latest revaluation date of June 30, 2024. All remaining untendered and outstanding Warrants were redeemed for $0.70 per Warrant, or $789 in total, with a $530 loss recognized upon repurchase, which was the result of the premium paid above the valuation of the Warrants as of the latest revaluation date of June 30, 2024.
The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40,Derivatives and Hedging, and were presented within warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The warrant liabilities were measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The following table presents the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities (Level 1) during the three months ended March 31, 2024:

NOTE 15 – 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, loss of banking or other operational relationships, 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.
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.
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.
NOTE 15 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued):
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.

NOTE 20 - INCOME TAXES
The Company’s provision for income taxes in the interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in the period.
The Company had an effective tax rate of 26% and 32% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily the result of an increase in the provision for uncertain tax positions and nondeductible stock compensation, partially offset by a benefit under U.S. tax law for income earned from foreign customers. 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, 2025, the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets in Singapore, associated with the Skuad acquisition, and in Germany as management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be recognized in these jurisdictions. The Company maintains its previous conclusion that a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in the United States and Israel is not necessary.
NOTE 21 – NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company’s basic net earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. The diluted net earnings per share is calculated by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period using the treasury share method or the if-converted method based on the nature of such securities. Diluted net earnings per share is the same as basic net earnings per share in periods when the effects of potentially dilutive shares of common shares are anti-dilutive.
Basic and diluted net earnings per share attributable to common stockholders were calculated as follows:
