EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1—The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company

EVERTEC, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company” or “EVERTEC”) is a leading full-service transaction processing business and financial technology provider in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Company is based in Puerto Rico and provides a broad range of merchant acquiring, payment processing and business process management services. The Company provides services across 26 countries in the region. EVERTEC owns and operates the ATH network, which we believe is one of the leading personal identification number (“PIN”) debit networks in the Caribbean and Latin America. In addition, EVERTEC provides a comprehensive suite of services for core bank processing and cash processing in Puerto Rico and technology outsourcing in the regions the Company serves. EVERTEC serves a broad and diversified customer base of leading financial institutions, merchants, corporations, and government agencies with solutions that are essential to their operations, enabling them to issue, process and accept transactions securely.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of EVERTEC have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, contain all adjustments, all of which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation.

A summary of the most significant accounting policies used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements is as follows:

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, which are presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company consolidates all subsidiaries for which the Company has concluded it controls. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policy follows the guidance from Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provide guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in consolidated financial statements.

The Company recognizes revenue when (or as) control of goods or services are transferred to a customer. The transfer of control occurs when the customer can direct the use of and receive substantially all the benefits from the transferred good or service. Therefore, revenue is recognized over time (typically for services) or at a point in time (typically for goods).

The assessment of revenue recognition is performed by the Company based on the five-step model established in ASC 606, as follows: Step 1: Identify the contract with customer; Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract; Step 3: Determine the transaction price; Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and Step 5: Recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

At contract inception, the Company evaluates whether the contract (i) is legally enforceable; (ii) approved by both parties; (iii) properly defines rights and obligations of the parties, including payment terms; (iv) has commercial substance; and (v) collection of substantially all consideration entitled is probable, before proceeding with the assessment of revenue recognition. If any of these requirements is not met, the contract does not exist for purposes of the model and any consideration received is

F - 12

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

recorded as a liability. A reassessment may be performed in a later date upon change in facts and circumstances. The Company also evaluates within this step if contracts issued within a period of 6 months with the same customer should be accounted for as a single contract. The Company’s contracts with customers may be modified through amendments, change requests or waivers. Upon receipt, modifications of contracts with customers are evaluated to determine if these must be accounted for: (i) as a separate contract, (ii) a cumulative catch-up, or (iii) as a termination and creation of a new contract. Contract modifications must also comply with the requirements to determine if a contract with a customer exists for accounting purposes.

To identify performance obligations within contracts with customers, the Company first identifies all the promises in the contract (i.e., explicit and implicit). This includes the customer’s options to acquire additional goods or services for free or at a discount in exchange for an upfront payment. The Company then assesses if each material good or service (or bundle of goods or services) is distinct in nature (i.e., the customer can benefit from the good or service on its own or together with other readily available resources) and is capable of being distinct in the context of the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract). A distinct good or service (or bundle of goods or services) constitutes a performance obligation.

The Company also applies the series guidance to distinct goods or services (either with a specified quantity of goods or services or a stand-ready service), with an over time revenue recognition, to determine whether they should be accounted for as a single performance obligation. These distinct goods or services are recognized as a single performance obligation when their nature and timely increments are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer (i.e., the distinct goods or services within the series use the same method to measure progress towards complete satisfaction). To determine if a performance obligation should be recognized over time, one or more of the following criteria must be met: (1) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the Company performs (i.e., routine or recurring services); (2) the customer controls the asset as the entity creates or enhances it (i.e., asset on customer’s site); or (3) the Company’s performance does not create an asset for which the Company has an alternative use and there is a right to payment for performance to date (i.e., asset built to order). Performance obligations that do not meet the over time criteria are recognized at a point in time.

In addition, in Step 2 of the model, the Company evaluates whether the practical expedient of right-to-invoice applies. If this practical expedient is applicable, steps 3, 4 and 5 are waived. For this practical expedient to apply, the right to consideration must correspond directly with the value received by the customer for the Company’s performance to date, no significant up-front payments or retroactive adjustments must exist, and specified minimums must be deemed non-substantive at the contract level. If the contract with the customer has multiple performance obligations and the practical expedient of right-to-invoice does not apply, the Company proceeds to determine the transaction price and allocate it on a standalone selling price basis among the different performance obligations identified in the Step 2.

The Company generally applies the expected cost plus margin approach to determine the standalone selling price at the performance obligation level. In addition, for performance obligations that are satisfied over time and the right to invoice practical expedient is not available, the Company determines a method to measure progress (i.e., input or output method) based on current facts and circumstances. When these performance obligations have variable consideration within its transaction price and are part of a series, the Company allocates the variable consideration to each time increment.

As part of the revenue recognition analysis, when another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, the Company evaluates, for each performance obligation, whether it is providing the goods or services itself (i.e., as principal), or if it is only arranging on behalf of the other party. The Company acts as principal if it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer. To determine if the Company acts as an agent, the Company considers indicators, such as: (i) the responsibility to fulfill a promise; (ii) the inventory risk; and (iii) the price determination.

The Company may also generate revenues from payments received under collaborative arrangements. Management analyzes its collaborative arrangements to assess whether such arrangements, or transactions between arrangement participants, involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of such activities or are more akin to a vendor-customer relationship. In making this assessment, management considers whether the activities in the collaborative arrangement are considered to be distinct and deemed within the scope of ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements, and those that are more reflective of a vendor-customer relationship and, therefore, within the scope of ASC 606. This assessment is performed throughout the life of the arrangement based on changes in the responsibilities of all parties in the arrangement.

Investment in Equity Investee

The Company accounts for investments using the equity method of accounting if the investment provides the Company the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over an investee. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if the Company has an ownership interest in the voting stock of an investor of between 20 percent and 50 percent, although other factors are considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. Under this method, the investment, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of net income or losses as they occur. The Company’s share of investee earnings or losses is recorded, net of taxes, within earnings (losses) of equity method investment caption in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company’s consolidated revenues include fees for services provided to an investee accounted for under the equity method. Additionally, the Company’s interest in the net assets of its equity method investee is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. On the acquisition of the investment, any difference between the cost of the investment and the amount of the underlying equity in net assets of an investee is required to be accounted as if the investee were a consolidated subsidiary. If the difference is assigned to depreciable or amortizable assets or liabilities, then the difference should be amortized or accreted in connection with the equity earnings based on the Company’s proportionate share of the investee’s net income or loss. If the investor is unable to relate the difference to specific accounts of the investee, the difference should be considered goodwill.

The Company considers whether the fair value of its equity method investment has declined below its carrying value whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that recorded values may not be recoverable. If the Company considered any such decline to be other than temporary (based on various factors, including historical financial results, product development activities and the overall health of the investee’s industry), then the Company would record a write-down to estimated fair value.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method and expensed over their estimated useful lives. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed over the terms of the respective leases, including renewal options considered by management to be reasonably assured of being exercised, or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Costs of maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed as incurred.

Leases

The Company evaluates each of its lease and service arrangements at inception to determine if the arrangement is, or contains, a lease and the appropriate classification of each identified lease. A lease exists if the Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits of, and have the right to control the use of, an asset for a period of time. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represents the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease agreement. The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date based on the present values of fixed lease payments over the term of the lease. Right-of-use assets may also be adjusted to reflect any prepayments made or any incentive payments received. Operating lease costs and depreciation expense for finance leases are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company considers a termination or renewal option in the determination of the lease term when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. Because the Company's leases generally do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate, the Company use an incremental borrowing rate to measure the lease liability and associated right-of-use asset at the lease commencement date. The incremental borrowing rate used is a fully collateralized rate that considers the Company's credit rating, market conditions and the term of the lease at the lease commencement date. The Company has made an accounting policy election to not recognize assets or liabilities for leases with a term of less than 12 months and to account for all components in a lease arrangement as a single combined lease component for all asset classes.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets to be held and used, and long-lived assets to be disposed of, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Capitalization of Software

The Company develops software that is used in providing processing services to customers. Capitalized software includes purchased software and internally developed software and is recognized as software packages within the other intangible assets

F - 14

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

line item in the consolidated balance sheets. Capitalization of internally developed software occurs only after the preliminary project stage is complete, management with applicable authority approves funding of the project, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the intended function. Tasks that are generally capitalized are as follows: (a) system design of a chosen path including software configuration and software interfaces; (b) employee costs directly associated with the internal-use computer software project; (c) software development (coding) and software and system testing and verification; (d) system installation; and (e) enhancements that add function and are considered permanent. These tasks are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, which range from three toten years and is included in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

The Company capitalizes interest costs incurred in the development of software. The amount of interest capitalized is an allocation of the interest cost incurred during the period required to substantially complete the asset. The interest rate for capitalization purposes is based on a weighted average rate on the Company’s outstanding borrowing. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, interest cost capitalized amounted to approximately $2.7 million, $1.1 million, and $0.8 million, respectively.

Software and Maintenance Contracts

Software and maintenance contracts are recorded at cost. The cost is recognized as prepaid expenses and amortized over the term of the related contract. The unamortized balance is included within prepaid expenses and other assets or other long-term assets depending on their remaining useful lives. Amortization of software and maintenance contracts is computed using the straight-line method and their estimated useful lives range fromone tofive years and are recognized in cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment.

The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. If determined to be necessary, the quantitative impairment test shall be used to identify goodwill impairment and measure the amount of a goodwill impairment loss to be recognized (if any). The Company may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not, that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company has an unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The quantitative goodwill impairment test, used to identify both the existence of impairment and the amount of impairment loss, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the Company determines to perform a quantitative impairment test, a third-party valuator may be engaged to prepare an independent valuation of each reporting unit. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, the Company shall consider the income tax effect from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit, if applicable, when measuring the goodwill impairment loss. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, no impairment losses associated with goodwill were recognized.

Other identifiable intangible assets with definitive useful lives include customer relationships, trademarks, software packages and a non-compete agreement. Customer relationships were valued using the excess earnings method under the income approach. Trademark assets were valued using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach. Internally developed software packages, which include capitalized software development costs, are recorded at cost, while software packages acquired as part of a business combination were valued using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach. The non-compete agreement was valued based on the estimated impact that theoretical competition would have on revenues and expenses.

Other identifiable intangible assets with definitive useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method or accelerated methods. These intangibles are evaluated periodically for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to enhance its ability to manage its exposure to certain financial and market risks. On the date the derivative instrument contract is entered into, the Company may designate the derivative as (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment (“fair value” hedge), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow” hedge), or (3) as a “standalone” derivative instrument, including economic hedges that the Company has not formally documented as a fair value or cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that qualifies for cash flow hedge accounting are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to earnings when the related cash outflow affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies as a fair value hedge, along with changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk (including gains or losses on firm commitments), are recorded in current-period earnings. Similarly, the changes in the fair value of stand-alone derivative instruments or derivatives not qualifying or designated for hedge accounting are reported in current-period earnings. The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities at fair value. The Company presents derivative assets and derivative liabilities separately in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Income Tax

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. A temporary difference refers to a difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability, determined based on recognition and measurement requirements for tax positions, and its reported amount in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amount of the asset or liability is recovered or settled, respectively. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future effects on income taxes that result from temporary differences and carryforwards that exist at the end of a period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and provisions of the enacted tax law and are not discounted to reflect the time-value of money. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income in the period that includes the enactment date. A deferred tax valuation allowance is established if it is considered more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement or disposition of the underlying issue with the taxing authority. Accordingly, the amount of benefit recognized in the consolidated financial statements may differ from the amount taken or expected to be taken in the tax return resulting in unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”). The Company recognizes the interest and penalties associated with UTBs as part of the provision for income taxes on its consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheets.

All companies within EVERTEC are legal entities that file separate income tax returns.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents consist of financial instruments available on demand or with original maturities of three months or less.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents cash received on deposits from participating institutions of the ATH network that has been segregated for the development, growth and acceptance of the ATH brand. Also, restricted cash includes a reserve account for payment and transaction processing services to merchants. The restrictions of these accounts are based on contractual provisions entered into with third parties. This cash is maintained in separate accounts at a financial institution in Puerto Rico.

Settlement Assets and Liabilities

F - 16

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Settlement assets and liabilities result from timing differences in the Company’s settlement processes with merchants, financial institutions, and credit card associations related to merchant and card transaction processing. The amounts are generally collected or paid the following business day. Settlement assets represent cash received or amounts receivable from agents, payment networks, bank partners, merchants or direct consumers. Settlement liabilities represent amounts payable to merchants and payees. Settlement assets were historically presented within cash and accounts receivable, while Settlement liabilities were presented within accrued liabilities and accounts payable.

Allowance for Current Expected Credit Losses

The Company monitors trade receivable balances and estimates the allowance for current expected credit losses based on historical loss rates adjusted by macroeconomic factors. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for current expected credit losses, only after all collection attempts have been exhausted.

Redeemable Non-controlling Interests

The Company records redeemable non-controlling interests ("RNCI") in consolidated subsidiaries that result from business acquisition transactions where the Company is granted the right to purchase ("Call Option") and the sellers are granted the right to sell to the Company ("Put Option") the remaining interest at the calculated redemption value and classifies them as mezzanine equity in the consolidated balance sheets as potential redemption is not solely within the Company's control. The acquired RNCI were initial measured at fair value at the acquisition date. The non-controlling interest is adjusted each reporting period for income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest and for any dividends declared. Each reporting period, a measurement period adjustment, if any, is then recorded to adjust the non-controlling interest to the higher of either the redemption value, assuming it was redeemable at the reporting date, or its carrying value, but not if such adjustment would result in a redemption value less than the initial fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest. If and when applicable, these adjustments are recorded in equity and are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using prevailing rates of exchange at the end of the period. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using weighted average rates for the period. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustment from operations for which the functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies are included in determining net income for the period in which exchange rates change.

Share-based Compensation

Performance and time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") and restricted stock are valued based on the market price of the Company’s stock at the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards with market conditions, on a contemporaneous basis, at the date they are granted using the Monte Carlo simulation analysis for market based RSUs using the following assumptions: (1) stock price; (2) risk-free rate; (3) expected volatility; (4) expected annual dividend yield and (5) expected term. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Constant Maturities Treasury Interest Rate as of the grant date or the yield of a 2-year or 3-year Treasury bond, as applicable. The expected volatility is based on a combination of historical volatility and implied volatility from publicly traded companies in the Company’s industry. The expected annual dividend yield is based on management’s expectations of future dividends as of the grant date and, in certain cases, assumes that those dividends will be reinvested over the performance period.

Upon restricted stock or RSUs release, participants may elect to “net share settle”. Rather than requiring the participant to deliver cash to satisfy the tax withholdings, the Company withholds enough shares to cover these amounts and delivers the net shares to the participant.

Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

F - 17

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Diluted net income per common share assumes the issuance of all potentially dilutive share equivalents using the treasury stock method. For restricted stock and RSUs it is assumed that the proceeds will be used to buy back shares. For unvested restricted share units, the proceeds equal the average unrecognized compensation.

Note 2—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 to update ASC 280 -Segment Reporting. The amendments in this update improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this update retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the updated disclosure requirements and impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements upon implementation.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The standard enhances income tax disclosure requirements for all entities by requiring specified categories and greater disaggregation within the rate reconciliation table, disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction, and providing clarification on uncertain tax positions and related financial statement impacts. The standard will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year 2025 annual financial statements with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt the standard when it becomes effective during the fiscal year 2025. The Company expect the adoption of the standard will impact certain of our income tax disclosures.

Note 3–Business Acquisitions and Dispositions

On February 16, 2023, the Company closed on the acquisition of 100% of Paysmart Pagamentos Electronicos Ltda ("paySmart"). Headquartered in Porto Alegre, Brazil, paySmart provides issuer processing services and BIN Sponsorship services for prepaid programs under domestic and international schemes in Brazil. The aggregate purchase price was $130 million Brazilian reais ("BRL"), approximately USD $25 million. The acquisition expands the Company's footprint in Brazil and compliments the current product offering in the country.

The Company accounted for this transaction as a business combination. The following table details the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the paySmart acquisition:

On November 1, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition (the "Sinqia Transaction") of 100% of the outstanding shares of Sinqia S.A. (“Sinqia”), a publicly held company incorporated and existing in accordance with the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil. The Company completed the acquisition through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Evertec Brasil Informática S.A (“Evertec BR”). Prior to the completion of the business combination, the Company acquired 4.8 million shares of Sinqia, representing approximately 5.4% of the outstanding shares of Sinqia. The shares were purchased in the open market for $26.5 million and at acquisition date the fair value of the equity securities amounted to $25.7 million. The acquisition expands the Company's product portfolio and client base in Brazil. The aggregate purchase price was $2.4 billion BRL, approximately USD$472 million, composed of cash of approximately USD$408.3 million from new financing commitments, approximately USD$25.7 million from previously acquired Sinqia shares and 1.2 million Evertec shares issued through Brazilian Depository Receipts, with a value of BRL$190.7 million, approximately USD$37.7 million. The closing stock price of Evertec on November 1, 2023 was $32.38.

Refer to Note 12 - Goodwill for detail of goodwill allocated by reportable segments. The goodwill is primarily attributed to selling the Company's products and services to Sinqia's client base, exporting Sinqia's products to other markets where the Company has presence and the assembled workforce. Currently, none of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

Sale of a Business

On July 1, 2022, the Company closed on a definitive agreement with Banco Popular de Puerto Rico and its parent, Popular, to sell software and prepaid assets and transfer certain employees in connection with those assets (the “Business”). As consideration for the sale of the Business, Popular delivered 4.6 million shares of Evertec common stock held by Popular with a value of $169.2 million at close (the “Popular Transaction”). Additionally, management concluded that $15.4 million included in the Company’s contract liability should be treated as consideration for the sale. Total consideration for the sale of the Business amounted to $184.7 million.

The Company also modified and extended the main commercial agreements with Popular, including a 10-year extension of the Merchant Acquiring Independent Sales Organization Agreement, a 5-year extension of the ATH Network Participation Agreement and a 3-year extension of the MSA. The Company also entered into new contracts and transition services agreements concurrently with the close of the Popular Transaction with terms between 3 months and 36 months.

The MSA modifications, among other things, includes the elimination of the exclusivity requirement which was the basis for a non-compete intangible asset recorded in 2010 as part of the original MSA that was being amortized over a 15 year period. As a result, the Company determined that the balance of the non-compete intangible asset on July 1, 2022 of $12.3 million, should be written off as a component of the gain on sale of a business. The Company also concluded that certain provisions in the new contracts and transition services agreements with Popular were not at fair value, therefore requiring that a portion of the gain be allocated to these contracts based on relative stand-alone selling price which were determined from the Company's historical cost-plus margin arrangements. The Company recorded a contract liability based on relative fair value of $11.7 million in connection with this conclusion.

Note 4–Revenues

Summary of Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy

F - 21

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s revenue recognition policy follows ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue from contracts with customers in consolidated financial statements.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. Once the Company determines a contract's performance obligations and the transaction price, including an estimate of any variable consideration, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract using a standalone selling price (“SSP”). The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a product or service to a customer. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Nature of performance obligations

At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in the contract with a customer and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all the goods or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied. Payment for the Company’s contracts with customers are typically due in full within 30 days of invoice date.

The following is a description of the Company’s principal revenue generating activities, including the separate performance obligations by operating segment.

The Payment Services - Puerto Rico & Caribbean segment provides financial institutions, government entities, health insurance companies and other issuers services to process credit, debit and prepaid cards; automated teller machines and electronic benefit transfer (“EBT”) card programs (which principally consist of services to the government of Puerto Rico for the delivery of benefits to participants). Revenue is principally derived from fixed fees per transaction and time and material basis billing for professional services provided to enhance the existing hosted platforms. Professional services in these contracts are primarily considered non-distinct from the transactional services and accounted for as a single performance obligation. Revenue for these contracts is generally recognized over time for the amount which the Company has right to consideration.

The Latin America Payments and Solutions segment provides financial institutions, government entities and other issuers services to process credit, debit and prepaid cards, for which revenue is recognized in the same manner as described above, as well as licensed software solutions for risk and fraud management and card payment processing. Licensed software solutions are provided mainly as Software as a Service (“SaaS”) and on-premises perpetual licenses. Set-up fees related to SaaS are considered non-distinct from the license and accounted for as a single performance obligation. SaaS revenues are recognized over time while the customer benefits from the software. On-premises perpetual licenses require significant customization and development. Professional services provided for significant customizations and development are non-distinct from the license and accounted for as a single performance obligation, recognized over time during the development of the license. Revenue is recognized based on the Company’s efforts or inputs, measured in labor hours expended, relative to the total expected inputs to satisfy the performance obligation. Maintenance or support services are considered distinct and recognized over time in the amount in which the Company has right to consideration. Solutions revenues consist of (a) licensing, support and maintenance (“subscription”), implementation and customization of software used to provide financial products in areas such as core banking, credit, investments, payments, foreign exchange, mutual funds, pension funds and consortium, in addition to software used to execute processes such as digital onboarding, digital signature and digital collection; and (b) outsourcing of mission critical IT services. Revenues are based on monthly fixed fees and, in several cases, variable fees based on usage.

The Merchant Acquiring segment provides customers with the ability to accept and process debit and credit cards. Revenue is derived from fixed or identifiable fees charged to individual merchants per transaction, set-up fees, monthly membership fees and rental of point-of-sale (“POS”) terminals. Set-up fees are considered non-distinct from the transaction processing services and accounted for as a single performance obligation. Revenue for these contracts is recognized over time in the amount in which the Company has right to consideration.

The Business Solutions segment consists of revenues from a full suite of business process management solutions. Revenue derived from core bank processing and other processing and transaction-based services are generally recognized over time in the amount in which the Company has right to consideration. Hosting services generally represent a series of distinct monthly increments that are substantially the same and has the same pattern of transfer. Professional services to enhance EVERTEC’s platforms are generally considered non-distinct from the hosting service and accounted for as a single performance obligation.

F - 22

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Hosting services are generally recognized over time once in production throughout the term of the contract. Maintenance or support services are usually considered distinct and recognized over time in the amount in which the Company has right to consideration. Hardware and software sales are recognized at a point in time when the control of the asset is transferred to the customer. Indicators of transfer of control include the Company’s right to payment, or as the customer has legal title or physical possession of the asset. The Company may also provide professional services to enhance customer’s platforms or as IT consulting services by arranging for other parties to transfer the services (i.e., acting as an agent). For these contracts, revenue is recognized on a net basis.

The Company’s service contracts may include service level arrangements (“SLA”) generally allowing the customer to receive a credit for part of the service fee when the Company has not provided the agreed level of services. If triggered, the SLA is deemed a consideration payable that may impact the transaction price of the contract, thus SLA performance is monitored and assessed for compliance with arrangements on a monthly basis, including determination and accounting for its economic impact, if any.

The Company enters into collaborative arrangements aimed at growing the Company’s merchant relationships. These arrangements are accounted for under ASC 606 as required by ASC 808 Collaborative Arrangements and are included as part of the Company’s Merchant Acquiring segment and Latin America segment. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized revenue amounting to $114.9 million, $65.9 million, and $23.9 million, respectively, for these arrangements.

Refer to Note 26 -Segment Informationfor further information, including revenue by products and services the Company provides and the geographic regions in which the Company operates.

Significant Judgments

Determining a measure of progress for performance obligations satisfied over time requires management to make judgments that affect the timing of revenue to be recognized. The Company exercises judgment in identifying a suitable method that depicts the entity’s performance in transferring control of these performance obligations, on a contract-by-contract basis. The principal criteria used for determining the measure of progress is the availability of reliable information that can be obtained without incurring undue cost, which generally results in the application of an input method since, in most cases, the outputs used to reasonably measure progress are not directly observable. Usually, the input method based on labor hours incurred, with respect to total expected labor hours to satisfy the performance obligation is applied. For performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, the Company determines that the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from the products at the time the products are delivered and services are performed, the customer has legal title of the products or the Company’s has the right to payment.

The Company mainly uses the expected cost-plus margin approach to allocate the transaction price in contracts with multiple performance obligations. To determine the SSP, the Company periodically performs an assessment to determine the margin of goods or services with the assistance of the different business areas. This assessment is performed considering past transactions and/or reasonably available information, including market conditions, trends or other company or customer specific factors, among others.

Disaggregation of revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into the primary geographical markets, nature of products and services, and timing of transfer of goods and services. The Company’s operating segments are determined by the nature of the products and services that the Company provides and the primary geographical markets in which the Company operates. Revenue disaggregated by segment is discussed in Note 26 -Segment Information.

In the following table, revenue for each segment, excluding intersegment revenues, is disaggregated by timing of revenue recognition for the periods indicated.

The Company has revenue concentration with Popular, revenues as a percentage of total revenues, were 35%,39% and 42%, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Accounts receivable from Popular as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 amounted to $40.5 million and $41.6 million, respectively.

Contract assets of the Company arise when the Company has a contract with a customer for which revenue has been recognized (i.e., goods or services have been transferred), but the customer payment is subject to a future event (i.e., satisfaction of additional performance obligations). Contract assets will be considered a receivable when the rights to consideration of the

F - 24

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Company becomes unconditional (i.e., the Company has a present right to payment). The current portion of contract assets is recorded as part of prepaid expenses and other assets, and the long-term portion is included in other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts receivable, net at December 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $126.5 million and $111.5 million, respectively. Contract liability and Contract liability- Long term, at December 31, 2023 amounted to $21.1 million and $41.8 million, respectively. Contract liability and Contract liability- Long term amounted to $15.2 million and $34.1 million at December 31, 2022, respectively. Contract liability is mainly comprised of upfront fees for implementation or set up activities, including fees charged in pre-production periods in connection with hosting services, as well as amounts related to contracts entered into concurrently with the close of the Popular Transaction in the prior year. Contract liability may also arise when consideration is received or due in advance from customers prior to performance. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $16.4 million that was included in contract liability, at December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $32.5 million that was included in contract liability at December 31, 2021.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations

Revenues from recurring transaction-based and processing services represent the majority of the Company’s total revenue. The Company recognizes revenues from recurring transaction-based and processing services over time at the amounts in which the Company has right to invoice, which corresponds directly to the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. Therefore, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-50-14, when applicable. Under this practical expedient, the Company is not required to disclose information about remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less or if the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has a right to invoice.

The Company also applies the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-50-14A and does not disclose the information about remaining performance obligations for variable consideration when the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation in accordance with paragraph 606-10-25-14(b).

For contracts excluded from the application of the practical expedients noted above, the estimated aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at December 31, 2023 is $942.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over the next 1 to 6 years. This amount consists of minimums on certain master services agreements, professional service fees for implementation or set up activities related to managed services and maintenance services typically recognized over the life of the contract, and professional service fees for customizations or development of on-premises licensing agreements, which are recognized over time based on inputs relative to the total expected inputs to satisfy a performance obligation.

Note 5—Cash and Cash Equivalents

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $318.7 million and $203.7 million, respectively, which are deposited in accounts in financial institutions. Of the total cash balance at December 31, 2023 and 2022, $208.8 million and $119.7 million, respectively, reside in subsidiaries located outside of Puerto Rico. At December 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company also had cash and cash equivalents included in settlement assets amounting to $25.1 million and $12.0 million, respectively. Reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash included in settlement assets as presented on the cash flow statement was as follows:

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Allowance for Current Expected Credit Losses

Trade receivables from contracts with customers are financial assets analyzed by the Company under the expected credit loss model. To measure expected credit losses, trade receivables are grouped based on shared risk characteristics (i.e., the relevant industry sector and customer's geographical location) and days past due (i.e., delinquency status), while considering the following:

Customers in the same geographical location share similar risk characteristics associated with the macroeconomic environment of their country.

The Company has two main industry sectors: private and governmental. The private pool is comprised mainly of leading financial institutions, merchants, and corporations, while the governmental pool is comprised of government agencies. The governmental customers possess different risk characteristics than private customers because even though invoices are due 30 days after issuance, governmental customers usually pay within 60 to 90 days after issuance (i.e., between 30 to 60 more days than private customers).

The expected credit loss rate is likely to increase as receivables move to older aging buckets. The Company used the following aging categories to estimate the risk of delinquency status: (i) 0 days past due; (ii) 1-30 days past due; (iii) 31-60 days past due; (iv) 61-90 days past due; and (v) over 90 days past due.

The credit losses of the Company’s trade receivables have been historically low, and most balances are collected within one year. Therefore, the Company determined that the expected loss rates should be calculated using the historical loss rates adjusted by macroeconomic factors. The historical rates are calculated for each of the aging categories used for pooling trade receivables. To determine the collected portion of each bucket, the collection time of each trade receivable is identified, to estimate the proportion of outstanding balances per aging bucket that ultimately will not be collected. This is used to determine the expectation of losses based on the history of uncollected trade receivables once the specific past due period is surpassed. The historical rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of customers to settle the receivables by applying a country risk premium as the forward-looking macroeconomic factor. Specific reserves are established for certain customers for which collection is doubtful.

Rollforward of the Allowance for Current Expected Credit Losses

Balance at the end of the period$4,010$2,159

The Company does not have a delinquency threshold for writing-off trade receivables. The Company has a formal process for the review and approval of write-offs.

Impairment losses on trade receivables are presented as net impairment losses within cost of revenues, exclusive of depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written-off are credited against the allowance for expected current credit losses within accounts receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 10—Investment in Equity Investees

Consorcio de Tarjetas Dominicanas, S.A. (“CONTADO”) is one of the largest merchant acquirers and ATM network in the Dominican Republic. The Company uses the equity method of accounting to account for its equity interest in CONTADO. As a result of the acquisition in 2011 of CONTADO’s 19.99% equity interest, the Company calculated an excess cost of the investment in CONTADO over the amount of underlying equity in net assets of approximately $9.0 million, which was mainly attributed to customer relationships, trademark, and goodwill intangibles. The Company’s excess basis allocated to amortizable assets is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the appropriate intangibles. Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 amounted to approximately $0.1 million, while for the years ended 2022 and 2021 it amounted to approximately $0.2 million, and was recorded within earnings of equity method investment in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company recognized $5.0 million, $3.0 million, and $1.7 million as equity in CONTADO’s net income, net of amortization, in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company received $3.5 million, $2.1 million, and $1.2 million respectively, in dividends from CONTADO.

In the third quarter of 2023, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary EVERTEC Costa Rica, S.A. ("EVERTEC CR"), entered into an agreement with a corporate partner to jointly develop and provide payment services in the Latin America region. The services will be provided through a newly formed entity which both entities contributed capital to form. The Company concluded that the newly formed entity is a joint venture not controlled by the Company and accounted for the entity as an equity investee. The Company has committed capital contributions in the amount of $13.5 million, consisting of cash payments amounting to $7.5 million, nonfinancial assets consisting of $3.5 million in development of intellectual property, and $2.5 million in processing cost credits. At December 31, 2023, the Company had contributed $5.5 million in cash from the committed amounts, which represented 9.91% ownership in the joint venture.

Both equity method investments' fiscal years end on December 31 and are reported in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the period subsequent to the acquisition date on a one-month lag. No significant events occurred in the operations subsequent to November 30, 2023 that would have materially affected the Company’s reported results.

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of August 31, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate there may be impairment. The Company may test for goodwill impairment using a qualitative or a quantitative analysis. In a qualitative analysis, the Company assesses whether it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In the quantitative analysis, the Company compares the estimated fair value of the reporting units to their carrying values, including goodwill.

The estimated fair value of the reporting units is computed using a combination of an income approach and a market approach. The income approach involves projecting the cash flows that the reporting unit is expected to generate and converting these cash flows into a present value equivalent through discounting. Significant estimates and assumptions used in the cash flow projection include, among others, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) margins, and the selection of discount rates. Internal projections are based on the Company’s historical experience and estimated future business performance. The discount rate used is based on the weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects the rate of return expected to be earned by market participants and the estimated cost to obtain long-term debt financing. The market approach estimates the value of a reporting unit by using multiples of revenue and EBITDA based on guideline of publicly traded companies. Valuation using the market approach requires management to make assumptions related to EBITDA multiples. Comparable businesses are selected based on the market in which the reporting units operate, considering size, profitability, and growth. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. If the

F - 30

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 16—Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurement provisions establish a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. These provisions describe three levels of input that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company uses observable inputs when available. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices when available. If market prices are not available, the Company may employ models that mostly use market-based inputs including yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, and credit curves, among others. The Company limits valuation adjustments to those deemed necessary to ensure that the financial instrument’s fair value adequately represents the price that would be received or paid in the marketplace. Valuation adjustments may include consideration of counterparty credit quality and liquidity as well as other criteria. The estimated fair value amounts are subjective in nature and may involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment for certain financial instruments. Changes in the underlying assumptions used in estimating fair value could affect the results. The fair value measurement levels are not indicative of risk of investment.

The fair value of financial instruments is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on the type of financial instrument and relevant market information. Many of these estimates involve various assumptions and may vary significantly from amounts that could be realized in actual transactions.

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at December 31, 2023 and 2022, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

(In thousands)Level 1Level 2Level 3Total

Financial assets:

Interest rate swap$—$7,440$—$7,440

Debt Securities Available for Sale

The fair value of the debt securities is determined by a third-party service provider and it is based on the value of trading securities in the local Costa Rica market.

Derivative Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s derivative instrument is determined using a standard valuation model. The significant inputs used in these models are readily available in public markets, or can be derived from observable market transactions, and

F - 35

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

therefore have been classified as Level 2. Inputs used in these standard valuation models for derivative instruments include the applicable forward rates and discount rates. The discount rates are based on the historical SOFR Swap rates.

Equity securities

On November 1, 2023, as part of the Sinqia transaction, the Company acquired equity securities and mutual funds amounting to $9.4 million. The Company classified equity securities of $3.0 million Level 3 assets within the fair value hierarchy given that the fair value is calculated using a discounted cash flow model with unobservable inputs. Mutual funds are registered with the securities and exchange commission in Brazil and are broker traded and therefore have been classified as Level 2. There was no change in the fair market value of the equity securities from November 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023.

Interest rate swap$900$900$—$—

The fair values of the term loans at December 31, 2023 and 2022 were obtained using the prices provided by third-party service providers. Their pricing is based on various inputs such as market quotes, recent trading activity in a non-active market or imputed prices. These inputs are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. Also, the pricing may include the use of an algorithm that could take into account movement in the general high yield market, among other variants. The secured term loans are not measured at fair value in the balance sheets.

There wereno transfers in or out of Level 3 during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Note 17—Other Long-Term Liabilities

As of December 31, 2023, other long-term liabilities mainly consist of an unrecognized tax benefit liability of $2.2 million, long-term portion of notes payable of $7.4 million, deferred consideration for business combinations of $15.7 million, estimated liabilities of $13.9 million, aderivative liability of $0.9 million and other long-term liabilities of $0.9 million.

Note 20—Share-based Compensation

Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”)

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board approved grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to executives and certain employees pursuant to the 2021 LTIP, 2022 LTIP and 2023 LTIP, respectively, all under the terms of the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. Under the LTIPs, the Company granted RSUs to eligible participants as time-based awards and/or performance-based awards.

The vesting of the RSUs is dependent upon service and/or performance conditions as described in the award agreements. Employees that received time-based awards with service conditions are entitled to receive a specific number of shares of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date if the employee provides services to the Company through the vesting date.

F - 38

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Time-based awards generally vest over a period ofthree years in substantially equal installments commencing on the grant date and ending on March 2 of each year for the 2021 LTIP, February 25 of each year for the 2022 LTIP, and February 24 of each year for the 2023 LTIP. In 2022 and 2023, the Company also granted time-based awards with athree year service vesting period which will cliff vest on February 25, 2025 and February 24, 2026, respectively.

For the performance-based awards under the 2021 LTIP, 2022 LTIP, and 2023 LTIP, the Compensation Committee established adjusted earnings before income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as the primary performance measure while maintaining focus on total shareholder return through the use of a market-based total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance modifier. The Adjusted EBITDA measure is based on annual Adjusted EBITDA targets and can result in a payout between 0% and 200%, depending on the performance level. The TSR modifier adjusts the shares earned based on the Adjusted EBITDA performance upwards or downwards (+/-25%) based on the Company’s relative TSR at the end of thethree-year performance period as compared to the companies in the Russell 2000 Index. The Adjusted EBITDA performance measure will be calculated for theone-year period commencing on January 1 of the year of the grant and ending on December 31 of the same year, relative to the goals set by the Compensation Committee for this same period. The shares earned will be subject to an additionaltwo-year service vesting period and will vest on March 2, 2024 for the 2021 LTIP, February 25, 2025 for the 2022 LTIP, and February 24, 2026 for the 2023 LTIP. Unless otherwise specified in the award agreement, or in an employment agreement, awards are forfeited if the employee voluntarily ceases to be employed by the Company prior to vesting.

Note 23—Income Tax

EVERTEC Group and Holdings are Puerto Rico limited liability companies that are treated as partnerships that are pass-through entities for Puerto Rico tax purposes, therefore, taxable income flows through to EVERTEC, Inc.

EVERTEC Group, Holdings and EVERTEC, Inc. entered into a Tax Payment Agreement pursuant to which EVERTEC Group is required to make certain payments to Holdings or EVERTEC, Inc. for taxable periods or portions thereof occurring on or after April 17, 2012 (the “Effective Date”). Under the Tax Payment Agreement, EVERTEC Group will make payments with respect to any and all taxes (including estimated taxes) imposed under the laws of Puerto Rico, the United States of America and any other jurisdiction or any political (including municipal) subdivision or authority or agency in Puerto Rico, the United States of America or such other jurisdiction, that would have been imposed on EVERTEC Group if EVERTEC Group had been a corporation for tax purposes of that jurisdiction, together with all interest and penalties with respect thereto (“Taxes”), reduced by taking into account any applicable net operating losses or other tax attributes of Holdings or EVERTEC, Inc. that reduce Holdings’ or EVERTEC, Inc.’s taxes in such period. The Tax Payment Agreement provides that the payments thereunder shall not exceed the net amount of Taxes that Holdings and EVERTEC, Inc. actually owe to the appropriate taxing authority for a taxable period. Further, the Tax Payment Agreement provides that if Holdings or EVERTEC, Inc. receives a tax refund attributable to any taxable period or portion thereof occurring on or after the Effective Date, EVERTEC, Inc. shall be required to recalculate the payment for such period required to be made by EVERTEC Group to Holdings or EVERTEC, Inc. If the payment, as recalculated, is less than the amount of the payment EVERTEC Group already made to Holdings or EVERTEC, Inc. in respect of such period, Holdings or EVERTEC, Inc. shall promptly make a payment to EVERTEC Group in the amount of such difference.

The Company conducts operations in Puerto Rico and certain countries in Latin America. As a result, the income tax expense includes the effect of taxes paid to the government of Puerto Rico as well as foreign jurisdictions.

Taxes payable to foreign countries by EVERTEC’s subsidiaries will be paid by such subsidiary and the corresponding liability and expense will be presented in EVERTEC’s consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had $137.0 million and $115.5 million of unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries, respectively. The Company has not recognized a deferred tax liability on undistributed earnings for the Company’s foreign subsidiaries because these earnings are intended to be indefinitely reinvested. The amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability depends on judgment required to analyze the withholding tax due, the applicable tax law and factual circumstances in effect at the time of any such distributions. EVERTEC believes it is not practicable at this time to reliably determine the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the Company’s undistributed earnings. If circumstances change and it becomes apparent that some or all of the undistributed earnings of a subsidiary will be remitted, and income taxes have not been recognized by the parent entity, the parent entity shall accrue as an expense of the current period income taxes attributable to that remittance.

On October 19, 2012, EVERTEC Group was granted a tax exemption under the Tax Incentive Act No. 73 of 2008. Under this grant, EVERTEC Group will benefit from a preferential income tax rate on industrial development income, as well as from tax exemptions with respect to its municipal and property tax obligations for certain activities derived from its data processing operations in Puerto Rico. The grant has a term of 15 years effective as of January 1, 2012 with respect to income tax obligations and January 1, 2013 with respect to municipal and property tax obligations. Industrial development income under this grant is subject to a preferential rate of 4%.

The grant contains customary commitments, conditions, and representations that EVERTEC Group will be required to comply with in order to maintain the grant. The more significant commitments include: (i) maintaining at least 700 employees in EVERTEC Group's Puerto Rico data processing operations, (ii) investing at least $200.0 million in building, machinery, equipment or computer programs to be used in Puerto Rico during the effective term of the grant (to be made over four-year capital investment cycles in $50.0 million increments); and (iii)80% of EVERTEC Group employees must be residents of Puerto Rico. Failure to meet the requirements could result, among other things, in reductions of the benefits of the grant or revocation of the grant in its entirety, which could result in EVERTEC, Inc. paying additional taxes or other payments relative to what would be required to pay to other municipal agencies if the full benefits of the grant are not available.

On October 11, 2011, Evertec Group was granted a tax exemption under Tax Incentive Law No. 73 of 2008, retroactively to December 1, 2009. Under this grant, activities derived from consulting and data processing services provided outside Puerto Rico are subject to a preferred rate that declines gradually from 7% to 4% by December 1, 2013. After this date, the rate remains at 4% until its expiration on November 30, 2024.

In addition, in August 2018, the Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company approved the requested extension of a grant under Tax Incentive Law No. 135 of 1997 for EVERTEC Group. Under this grant, activities derived from certain development and installation service in excess of a determined income are subject to a fixed tax rate of 10% for a 10-year period from January 1, 2018.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the net deferred tax liability and asset amounted to $35.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively, with a valuation allowance of approximately $4.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively, included as part of other deferred tax assets, for a net deferred tax liability after valuation allowance of approximately $40.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

Pursuant to the provision of the PR Code, net operating losses (“NOL”) can be carried forward for a period of seven, ten or twelve taxable years, depending on the taxable year generated. Act 72 of May 29, 2015, limited the amount of NOLs deduction to 80% for regular tax and 70% for alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) for taxable years commencing after December 31, 2014. However, Act 257 of 2018 limits the deduction of NOLs to 90% for regular tax for tax years commencing after December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2023, the Company has $34.0 million, $0.3 million and $72.9 million in NOL carryforwards related to Puerto Rico industrial development income, United States and foreign countries, respectively, available to offset future eligible income. The NOL balance as of December 31, 2023 expires as follows:

The Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions (“UTPs”) only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

The following is a tabular reconciliation of the total amounts of UTPs:

Lapse of statute of limitations(644)(2,498)(2,287)
Balance, end of year$5,902$1,480$3,951

As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, approximately $5.9 million, $1.5 million and $4.0 million, respectively, would have affected the Company’s effective income tax rate, if recognized. Increases in tax positions in the current year are related to acquisitions in foreign jurisdictions.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to UTB as part of income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $0.8 million, $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, related to interest and penalties. The amount accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $5.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The Company estimates that it is reasonably possible that the liability for uncertain tax position created from acquisitions in foreign jurisdictions will decrease by approximately $2.7 million in the next 12 months as a result of the statute of limitations.

In connection with tax return examinations, contingencies can arise that generally result from different interpretations of tax laws and regulations as they pertain to the amount, timing or inclusion of revenues and expenses in taxable income, or the ability to utilize tax credits to reduce income taxes payable. While it is probable, based on the potential outcome of the Company’s Puerto Rico and foreign tax examinations or the statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions, that the liability for UTBs may increase or decrease within the next twelve months, the Company does not expect any such change would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to Puerto Rico income tax as well as income tax of multiple foreign jurisdictions. A significant majority of the income tax is from Puerto Rico and Costa Rica. The income tax returns for 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 are currently open for examination for both jurisdictions, while 2014 and 2015 are also open for examination for Costa Rica.

Note 25—Commitments and Contingencies

EVERTEC is a defendant in a number of legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on the opinion of legal counsel, management believes that the final disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations or financial condition of the Company. The Company has identified certain claims in which a loss may be incurred, but in the aggregate the loss would be minimal. For other claims, where the proceedings are in an initial phase, the Company is unable to estimate the range of possible loss for such legal proceedings. However, the Company at this time believes that any loss related to these latter claims will not be material.

Leases

The Company has operating leases for certain office facilities, buildings, telecommunications and other equipment; and finance leases for certain equipment. The Company’s lease contracts have remaining terms ranging from 1 year to 6 years, some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to 5 years, and some which may include the option to terminate the lease within 1 year.

Note 26—Segment Information

The Company operates infour business segments: Payment Services - Puerto Rico & Caribbean, Latin America Payments and Solutions, Merchant Acquiring, and Business Solutions.

The Payment Services - Puerto Rico & Caribbean segment revenues are comprised of revenues related to providing access to the ATH debit network and other card networks to financial institutions, including related services such as authorization, processing, management and recording of ATM and POS transactions, and ATM management and monitoring. The segment revenues also include revenues from card processing services (such as credit and debit card processing, authorization and settlement and fraud monitoring and control to debit or credit issuers), payment processing services (such as payment and billing products for merchants, businesses and financial institutions), ATH Movil (person-to-person) and ATH Business (person-to-merchant) digital transactions and EBT (which principally consist of services to the government of Puerto Rico for the delivery of benefits to participants). For ATH debit network and processing services, revenues are primarily driven by the number of transactions processed. Revenues are derived primarily from network fees, transaction switching and processing fees, and the leasing of POS devices. For card issuer processing, revenues are primarily dependent upon the number of cardholder accounts on file, transactions and authorizations processed, the number of cards embossed and other processing services. For EBT services, revenues are primarily derived from the number of beneficiaries on file.

F - 45

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Latin America Payments and Solutions segment payment revenues consist of revenues related to providing access to the ATH network of ATMs and other card networks to financial institutions, including related services such as authorization, processing, management and recording of ATM and POS transactions, and ATM management and monitoring. The segment revenues also include revenues from card processing services (such as credit and debit card processing, authorization and settlement and fraud monitoring and control to debit or credit issuers), payment processing services (such as payment and billing products for merchants, businesses and financial institutions), as well as licensed software solutions for risk and fraud management and card payment processing. For network and processing services, revenues are primarily driven by the number of transactions processed. Revenues are derived primarily from transaction switching, processing fees, and the leasing of POS devices. For card issuer processing, revenues are primarily dependent upon the number of cardholder accounts on file, transactions and authorizations processed, the number of cards embossed, and other processing services. Solutions revenues consist of (a) licensing, support and maintenance (“subscription”), implementation and customization of software used to provide financial products in areas such as core banking, credit, investments, payments, foreign exchange, mutual funds, pension funds and consortium, in addition to software used to execute processes such as digital onboarding, digital signature and digital collection; and (b) outsourcing of mission critical IT services. Revenues are based on monthly fixed fees and, in several cases, variable fees based on usage.

The Merchant Acquiring segment consists of revenues from services that allow merchants to accept electronic methods of payment. In the Merchant Acquiring segment, revenues include a discount fee and membership fees charged to merchants, debit network fees and rental fees from POS devices and other equipment, net of credit card interchange and assessment fees charged by credit cards associations (such as VISA or MasterCard) or payment networks. The discount fee is generally a percentage of the transaction value. EVERTEC also charges merchants for other services that are unrelated to the number of transactions or the transaction value.

The Business Solutions segment consists of revenues from a full suite of business process management solutions in various product areas such as core bank processing, network hosting and management, IT professional services, business process outsourcing, item processing, cash processing, and fulfillment. Core bank processing and network services revenues are derived in part from a recurrent fixed fee and from fees based on the number of accounts on file (i.e., savings or checking accounts, loans, etc.), server capacity usage or computer resources utilized. Revenues from other processing services within the Business Solutions segment are generally volume-based and depend on factors such as the number of accounts processed. In addition, EVERTEC is a reseller of hardware and software products and these resale transactions are generally non-recurring.

In addition to thefour operating segments described above, management identified certain functional cost areas that operate independently and do not constitute businesses in themselves. These areas could neither be concluded as operating segments nor could they be combined with any other operating segments. Therefore, these areas are aggregated and presented within the “Corporate and Other” category in the financial statements alongside the operating segments. The Corporate and Other category consists of corporate overhead expenses, intersegment eliminations, certain leveraged activities and other non-operating and miscellaneous expenses that are not included in the operating segments. The overhead and leveraged costs relate to activities such as:

marketing,

corporate finance and accounting,

human resources,

legal,

risk management functions,

internal audit,

corporate debt related costs,

non-operating depreciation and amortization expenses generated as a result of merger and acquisition activity,

intersegment revenues and expenses, and

other non-recurring fees and expenses that are not considered when management evaluates financial performance at a segment level.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") reviews the operating segments separate financial information to assess performance and to allocate resources. Management evaluates the operating results of each of its operating segments based upon revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. Effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company modified the manner in which it calculates and reports Adjusted EBITDA presented to the CODM for assessing segment performance to exclude the impact of non-cash unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash unrealized items and unusual expenses such as: share-based

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

compensation, restructuring related expenses, fees and expenses from corporate transactions such as M&A activity and financing, equity investment income net of dividends received, and the impact from non-cash unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency remeasurement for assets and liabilities in non-functional currency. Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to operating segments, is presented in conformity with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, given that it is reported to the CODM for purposes of allocating resources. The Company has recast prior periods to conform with the modified definition of Adjusted EBITDA. Segment asset disclosure is not used by the CODM as a measure of segment performance since the segment evaluation is driven by revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. As such, segment assets are not disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
