Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, (“SEC”), for interim reporting. Certain information and note disclosures included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or for any other future annual or interim period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make various estimates and assumptions relating to reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Significant estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the fair value and useful lives of assets acquired and liabilities assumed through business combinations, the estimation of contingent liabilities, the fair value of equity awards and warrants, share-based compensation, the estimation of variable consideration in contracts with customers, the reserve for contract contingencies and processing errors, and valuation of income taxes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Business Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has incurred net losses since its inception. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred net losses of $36.1 million and had an accumulated deficit of $861.3 million as of March 31, 2024. The Company expects to incur net losses from operations for the foreseeable future as it incurs costs and expenses related to creating new products for customers, acquiring new customers, developing its brand, expanding into new geographies and developing the existing platform infrastructure. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents of $970.4 million and short-term investments of $228.3 million as of March 31, 2024 are sufficient to fund its operations through at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Segment Information

The Company operates as a single operating segment and reporting unit. The Company's chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, allocating resources, and evaluating the Company's financial performance.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, net revenue outside of the United States, based on the billing address of the customer, was 8% and 3%, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, long-lived assets located outside of the United States were not material.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of deposits with Issuing Banks to provide the Issuing Bank collateral in the event that customers’ funds are not deposited at the Issuing Banks in time to settle customers’ transactions with the Card Networks. Restricted cash also includes cash used to secure a letter of credit for the Company’s lease of its office headquarters in Oakland, California. “Issuing Banks” are financial institutions that issue payment cards (credit, debit, or prepaid) either on their own behalf or on behalf of a business. “Card Networks” are networks that provide the infrastructure for settlement and card payment information flows.

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. Revenue

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue from customers:

Contract Balances

The following table provides information about contract assets and deferred revenue:

Net revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 that was included in the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of the respective periods was $2.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company has performance obligations associated with commitments in customer contracts for future stand-ready obligations to process transactions throughout the contractual term. As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to our remaining performance obligations was $58.3 million. The Company expects to recognize approximately 61% within two years and the remaining 39% over the next three to five years.

4. Intangible Assets, net

Intangible assets consisted of the following as of the dates presented:

The amortization period for developed technology intangible assets is 7 years. Amortization expense for developed technology was $1.5 million and $1.0 million for three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Expected future amortization expense for intangible assets was as follows as of March 31, 2024:

5. Short-term Investments

The Company's short-term investments are accounted for as securities available-for-sale and are classified within current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company may sell these securities at any time for use in its operations, even prior to maturity.

The amortized cost, unrealized gain (loss), and estimated fair value of the Company's short-term investments consisted of the following:

The Company hadtwenty-nine andfour separate short-term investments in unrealized loss positions as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company does not intend to sell any short-term investments that have unrealized losses as of March 31, 2024, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such securities before any anticipated recovery of the entire amortized cost basis.

There wereno realized gains or losses from short-term investments that were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For short-term investments that have unrealized losses, the Company evaluated whether (i) the Company has the intention to sell any of these investments, (ii) it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell any of these available-for-sale debt securities before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis and (iii) the decline in the fair value of the investment is due to credit or non-credit related factors. Based on this evaluation, the Company determined that for its short-term investments, there were no material credit or non-credit related impairments as of March 31, 2024.

The following table summarizes the stated maturities of the Company’s short-term investments:

6. Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

The Company classifies money market funds, U.S. treasury bills, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, U.S. treasury securities, U.S. agency securities, asset-backed securities, and corporate debt securities within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the Company values these investments using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs.

There were no transfers of financial instruments between the fair value hierarchy levels during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023.

7. Certain Balance Sheet Components

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment consisted of the following:

Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment was $2.1 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company capitalized $7.5 million and $4.1 million as internal-use software development costs during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following:

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Letters of Credit

In connection with the lease for its corporate headquarters office space, the Company is required to provide the landlord a letter of credit in the amount of $1.5 million. The Company has secured this letter of credit by depositing $1.5 million with the issuing financial institution, which deposit is classified as Restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Legal Contingencies

From time to time in the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to various legal matters such as threatened or pending claims or proceedings. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no legal contingency matters, either individually or in aggregate, that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Given the unpredictable nature of legal proceedings, the Company bases its assessment on the information available at the time.

As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the potential liability and may revise the estimate.

Settlement of Payment Transactions

Customers deposit a certain amount of pre-funding into accounts maintained at Issuing Banks to settle their payment transactions. Such pre-funding amounts may only be used to settle customers’ payment transactions and are not considered assets of the Company. As such, the funds held in customers’ accounts at Issuing Banks are not reflected on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. If a customer fails to deposit sufficient funds to settle a transaction, the Company is liable to the Issuing Bank to settle the transaction and would therefore incur losses if such amounts cannot be subsequently recovered from the customer.

Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements of varying scope and terms pursuant to which it agrees to indemnify customers, Card Networks, Issuing Banks, vendors, lessors, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. With respect to Issuing Banks, the Company has received requests for indemnification from time to time and may indemnify the Issuing Bank for losses the Issuing Bank may incur for non-compliance with applicable law and regulation, if those losses resulted from the Company’s failure to perform under its program agreement with the Issuing Bank.

In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain officers and employees that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers, or employees. No demands have been made upon the Company to provide indemnification under such agreements and there are no claims that the Company is aware of that could have a material effect on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company also includes service level commitments to its customers, warranting certain levels of performance and permitting those customers to receive credits in the event the Company fails to meet the levels specified.

9. Stock Incentive Plans

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company granted performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to certain employees of the Company based on an initial target number. The final number of PSUs that may vest and settle depend upon the Company’s performance against pre-established performance metrics over a predefined performance period. PSUs granted under the 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan vest over three years and have aone year performance period with cliff vesting following the completion of the performance period, subject to the compensation committee’s approval of the level of achievement against the pre-established performance targets. Over the performance period, the number of PSUs that may be issued and the related stock-based compensation expense that is recognized is adjusted upward or downward based upon the probability of achieving the approved performance targets against the performance metrics. Depending on the probability of achieving the pre-established performance targets, the number of PSUs issued could range from 0% to 200% of the target amount.

The following table presents the share-based compensation expense recognized within the following line items in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and Condensed

Consolidated Balance Sheet in the periods presented:

Unrecognized compensation costs by award type:

10. Stockholders’ Equity Transactions

Share Repurchase Program

On May 8, 2023, the Company’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $200 million of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “2023 Share Repurchase Program”). Under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The number of shares repurchased and the timing of purchases are based on general business and market conditions, and other factors, including legal requirements. The 2023 Share Repurchase Program had no set expiration date.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 5.2 million shares for $32.8 million under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program, for an average price of $6.27. Repurchases under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program were completed as of March 31, 2024.

11. Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

The Company calculated basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as follows:

Basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share because the Company reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical for Class A common stock and Class B common stock, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis and the resulting loss per share will, therefore, be the same for both Class A common stock and Class B common stock on an individual or combined basis.

Potentially dilutive securities that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect were as follows:

12. Income Tax

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.1 million and a benefit of $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to income tax expenses in profitable foreign jurisdictions. The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to a $7.2 million partial valuation allowance release due to the acquisition of Power Finance Inc., offset by $0.2 million of income tax expenses resulting from profitable foreign operations.

The Company is subject to income tax audits in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. We record liabilities related to uncertain tax positions and believe that we have provided adequate reserves for income tax uncertainties in all open tax years.

13. Concentration Risks and Significant Customers

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. Cash on deposit with financial institutions may exceed federally insured limits. Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 include $757.9 million and $628.0 million, respectively, of investments managed bytwo financial institutions, which invest primarily in securities issued by the U.S. Government or U.S. Government agencies.

As of March 31, 2024, short-term investments were $228.3 million, and there was no concentration of securities of the same issuer with an aggregate fair value greater than 5% of the total balance, except for U.S. Treasuries and U.S. agency securities, which amounted to $214.9 million, or 94% of the short-term investments. As of March 31, 2024, all debt securities within the Company's portfolio are investment grade.

As of December 31, 2023, short-term investments were $268.7 million, and there was no concentration of securities of the same issuer with an aggregate fair value greater than 5% of the total balance, except for U.S. Treasuries and U.S. agency securities, which amounted to $255.2 million, or 95% of the short-term investments. As of December 31, 2023, all debt securities within the Company's portfolio are investment grade.

A significant portion of the Company's payment transactions are settled throughone Issuing Bank, Sutton Bank. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023,74% and 80% of Total Processing Volume, which is the total dollar amount of payments processed through the Company’s platform, net of returns and chargebacks, was settled through Sutton Bank, respectively.

A significant portion of the Company's revenue is derived from one customer. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, this customer accounted for 49% and 76% of the Company’s net revenue, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, two other customers accounted for 16% and 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance.

14. Subsequent Events

Board Leadership Transition

On May 6, 2024, Jason Gardner informed the board of directors and the Company agreed that Mr. Gardner would step down from his position as Executive Chairman, effective June 13, 2024 (or, if later, the date of the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the “Transition Date”). Mr. Gardner will continue to serve as a non-employee director on the board of directors.

In connection with Mr. Gardner’s departure, the Company and Mr. Gardner have entered into a Transition Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Mr. Gardner will continue to perform his normal duties as Executive Chairman until the Transition Date and (ii) the Company agrees to continue to nominate Mr. Gardner for election to the board of directors at each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which Mr. Gardner’s term as a director expires, as long as he continues to hold at least 20% voting power of the Company and continues to satisfy the other criteria set forth in the Transition Agreement.

As a result of Mr. Gardner’s election to step down as Executive Chairman, the Executive Chairman Long-Term Performance Award will be forfeited by its terms, effective as of the Transition Date. The forfeiture is expected to result in a one-time reversal of share-based compensation expenses of $157.8 million in the second quarter of 2024.

On May 6, 2024, the Board appointed Jud Linville as independent Chairman of the board of directors effective as of the Transition Date.

Share Conversion

On May 6, 2024, Mr. Gardner elected to voluntarily convert 17.7 million outstanding shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock on aone-for-one basis, effective immediately, pursuant to Article IV.D.3(a) of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Class B common stock is substantially the same as the Class A common stock except Class B common stock hasten votes per share whereas Class A common stock hasone vote per share. As a result of the voluntary conversions, Mr. Gardner will beneficially own effective voting power of approximately 40% as of May 6, 2024.

Share Repurchase Program

On May 6, 2024, the Company’s board of directors unanimously authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of the Company’s Class A common stock. Under the repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The number of shares repurchased and the timing of purchases will be based on general business and market conditions, and other factors, including legal requirements. The share repurchase program has no set expiration date and may be canceled or suspended at any time without notice.
