Note 1 –The Company and Basis of Presentation
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, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. The Company is based in Puerto Rico and provides a broad range of merchant acquiring, payment services and business process management services. The Company operates across 26 countries in the region. EVERTEC owns and operates the ATH network, which we believe is one of the leading personal identification number debit networks in the Caribbean and Latin America. In addition, EVERTEC provides a comprehensive suite of services for core banking, cash processing and fulfillment in Puerto Rico and technology outsourcing in all 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.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of EVERTEC have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Change in presentation
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company elected to change the manner in which it presents cash flows associated with settlement activities from operating activities to financing activities within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. In connection with this change, the Company reclassified comparative amounts for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. Settlement cash and cash equivalents represents cash received from agents, payment networks, bank partners, merchants or direct consumers. In certain cases, the amounts may be invested into short-term, highly liquid investments from the time the funds are collected until payments are made to the applicable recipients. This change does not have an impact on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, the condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income (loss) or on the condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.
The following table presents the effects of the change in presentation within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:
| (In Thousands) | As Previously Reported | Adjustment | As Adjusted |

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 Company performed a quantitative assessment as of August 31, 2024 for the Latin America Payments and Solutions reporting unit and performed a qualitative assessment for the Payments Services - Puerto Rico & Caribbean, Merchant Acquiring, net and Business Solutions reporting units. For the 2023 annual impairment test the quantitative assessment was followed for all the Company reporting units. Based on the analysis performed as of August 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023, the fair value of the reporting units exceed the carrying amounts of the reporting units. No impairment losses were recognized based on the assessment performed for the periods ended September 30, 2024 or 2023.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, the Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Company's Board of Directors ("Board") approved grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to executives and certain employees pursuant to the 2022 LTIP, 2023 LTIP and 2024 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 defined 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. Time-based awards generally vest over a period ofthree years in substantially equal installments commencing on the grant date and ending on February 25 of each year for the 2022 LTIP, February 24 of each year for the 2023 LTIP and February 28 of each year for the 2024 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 2022 LTIP, 2023 LTIP, and 2024 LTIP, the Compensation Committee established adjusted earnings before interest, 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 February 25, 2025 for the 2022 LTIP, February 24, 2026 for the 2023 LTIP and February 28, 2027 for the 2024 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.
The following table summarizes nonvested RSUs activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024:
| Nonvested RSUs | Shares | Weighted-averagegrant date fair value |
|---|---|---|
| Nonvested at December 31, 2023 | 1,799,012 | $39.42 |
| Granted | 1,153,892 | 36.79 |
| Vested | (785,000) | 39.31 |
| Forfeited | (142,084) | 36.32 |
| Nonvested at September 30, 2024 | 2,025,820 | $38.66 |
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $7.4 million and $22.4 million of share-based compensation expense, compared with $6.7 million and $18.8 million for the corresponding periods in 2023.
As of September 30, 2024, the maximum unrecognized cost for RSUs was $46.8 million. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.
Note 10 –Revenues
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into primary geographical markets, nature of the 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 the Company provides and the primary geographical markets in which the Company operates. Revenue disaggregated by segment is discussed in Note 15, Segment Information.
In the following tables, revenue for each segment, excluding intersegment revenues, is disaggregated by timing of revenue

Contract Balances
The following table provides information about contract assets from contracts with customers for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023.
| (In thousands) | September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Balance at beginning of period | $13,917 | $4,749 |
| Services transferred to customers | 15,878 | 28,165 |
| Transfers to accounts receivable | (18,469) | (18,997) |
| Balance at end of period | $11,326 | $13,917 |
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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Accounts receivable, net at September 30, 2024 amounted to $131.1 million. Contract liability and contract liability - long term at September 30, 2024 amounted to $23.0 million and $56.7 million, respectively, and may arise when consideration is received or due in advance from customers prior to performance. The 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $6.2 million and $21.3 million, respectively, that was included in the contract liability at December 31, 2023.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
The estimated aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at September 30, 2024 was $816.9 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-premise licensing agreements, which are recognized over time based on inputs relative to the total expected inputs to satisfy a performance obligation.
Note 11 –Current Expected Credit Losses
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 although all invoices are due 30 days after issuance, governmental customers usually pay within 60 to 90 days after issuance (i.e., approximately 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 low historically 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 Expected Current Credit Losses
The following table provides information about the allowance for expected current credit losses on trade receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023
| (In thousands) | September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 |

| Write-offs | (1,816) | (384) |
| Recoveries of amounts previously written-off | 1 | 17 |
| Balance at end of period | $2,833 | $4,010 |
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 revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss). Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written-off, when applicable, are credited against the allowance for expected current credit losses within accounts receivable, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 14 –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 and other factors, management believes that the final disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows of the Company. The Company has identified certain claims in which a loss may be incurred, but in the aggregate the loss would be inconsequential. For other claims, where the proceedings are in an initial phase, the Company is unable to estimate the range of possible loss, if any, but at this time, management believes that any loss related to such claims will not be material.
Note 15 –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 composed 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 point of sale ("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.
The Latin America Payments and Solutions segment 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 reve nues 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. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash unrealized items and unusual expenses such as: share-based 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 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. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The following tables set forth information about the Company’s operations by itsfour business segments for the periods indicated:
