FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protection of, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Report, including, without limitation, statements regarding our position as a leader within our industry; our future results of operations and financial position; our business strategies; objectives of management for future operations, including, among others, statements regarding our expected growth, international expansion and future capital expenditures; the impact of market conditions and other macroeconomic factors on our business, financial condition and results of operations; the timing and anticipated outcome of the accelerated share repurchase agreement; the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents; our future capital expenditures and debt service obligations; and the expectations, anticipated benefits of and costs associated with acquisitions, are forward-looking statements.

Words such as “believes,” “expects,” "anticipates," "intends," "projects," “estimates,” and “plans” and similar expressions of future or conditional verbs such as "will," "should," "would," "may," and "could" or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. Readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and may involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may vary materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Among the factors that significantly impact our business and could impact our business in the future are:

•our reliance on our relationship with Popular, Inc. (“Popular”) for a significant portion of our revenues pursuant to our second Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement (“A&R MSA”) with them, and as it may impact our ability to grow our business;

•our ability to renew our client contracts on terms favorable to us, including but not limited to the current term and any extension of the MSA with Popular;

•our dependence on our processing systems, technology infrastructure, security systems and fraudulent payment detection systems, as well as on our personnel and certain third parties with whom we do business, and the risks to our business if our systems are hacked or otherwise compromised;

•our ability to develop, install and adopt new software, technology and computing systems;

•a decreased client base due to consolidations and/or failures in the financial services industry;

•the credit risk of our merchant clients, for which we may also be liable;

•the continuing market position of the ATH network;

•a reduction in consumer confidence, whether as a result of a global economic downturn or otherwise, which leads to a decrease in consumer spending;

•our dependence on credit card associations, including any adverse changes in credit card association or network rules or fees;

•changes in the regulatory environment and changes in macroeconomic, market, international, legal, tax, political, or administrative conditions, including inflation or the risk of recession;

•the geographical concentration of our business in Puerto Rico, including our business with the government of Puerto Rico and its instrumentalities, which are facing severe political and fiscal challenges;

•additional adverse changes in the general economic conditions in Puerto Rico, whether as a result of the government’s debt crisis or otherwise, including the continued migration of Puerto Ricans to the U.S. mainland, which could negatively affect our customer base, general consumer spending, our cost of operations and our ability to hire and retain qualified employees;

•operating an international business in Latin America, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, in jurisdictions with potential political and economic instability;

•the impact of foreign exchange rates on operations;

•our ability to protect our intellectual property rights against infringement and to defend ourselves against claims of infringement brought by third parties;

•our ability to comply with U.S. federal, state, local and foreign regulatory requirements;

•evolving industry standards and adverse changes in global economic, political and other conditions;

•our level of indebtedness and the impact of rising interest rates, restrictions contained in our debt agreements, including the secured credit facilities, as well as debt that could be incurred in the future;

•our ability to protect our IT systems and prevent a cybersecurity attack or breach to our information security;

•the possibility that we could lose our preferential tax rate in Puerto Rico;

•our inability to integrate Sinqia S.A. ("Sinqia") successfully into the Company or to achieve expected accretion to our earnings per common share;

•any loss of personnel or customers in connection with the Sinqia Transaction (as defined below in Note 2 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements); and

•any possibility of future catastrophic hurricanes, earthquakes and other potential natural disasters affecting our main markets in Latin America, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.

These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various factors, including those set forth under Part 1, Item 1A. "Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 29, 2024, as updated by Part II, Item 1A.“Risk Factors” in this Report, and in Part I, Item 2.“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Report, as may be updated in our subsequent filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless it is required to do so by law.
