This report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2026 (“Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, such as those under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from historical results or from any future results or projections expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this report include statements about:
We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this report.
You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict
all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this report. We cannot assure you that the results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
Neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the ultimate outcome of any of these forward-looking statements. Moreover, the forward-looking statements made in this report relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this report to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information.
Certain Definitions
In this report, unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “we,” “our,” “us,” “Paymentus,” and the “Company” refer to Paymentus Holdings, Inc., and where appropriate its consolidated subsidiaries.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, unless otherwise stated)
1. Organization and Description of Business
Description of Business
Paymentus Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Paymentus” or the “Company”) provides electronic bill presentment and payment services, enterprise customer communication and self-service revenue management to billers through a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”), secure, omni-channel technology platform. The platform seamlessly integrates into a biller’s core financial and operating systems to provide flexible and secure access to payment processing of credit cards, debit cards, eChecks and digital wallets across a significant number of channels including online, mobile, IVR, call center, chatbot and voice-based assistants. Paymentus was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 2, 2011 with office locations in Charlotte, North Carolina, Addison, Texas, Santa Clara, California, Richmond Hill, Ontario (Canada), and Gurugram, Mohali and Bengaluru (India). The Company is headquartered in Addison, Texas.
2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2026 (the “2025 Form 10-K”).
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future interim or annual period.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include revenue recognition, cost of revenue recognition, the allowance for credit losses, the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, and the recoverability or impairment of intangible assets, including goodwill, internal-use software development costs, valuation of stock warrants issued, stock-based compensation, and accounting for income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and also on assumptions that management considers reasonable. The Company assesses these estimates on a regular basis; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Custodial Accounts
The Company has established a relationship with its merchant processors to act as collection and paying agents, whereby a merchant processor receives funds from customers and forwards such funds to the respective Paymentus client, based on the instructions received from the Company. These merchant processors act as custodians of the cash received, and the Company has no legal ownership rights to the funds held in such custodial accounts and does not control the use of these funds. As the Company does not take ownership of the funds, these custodial accounts are not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The balance of cash in the custodial accounts held by these merchant processors was $207.1 million and $215.7 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and short-term deposits. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits with high-quality financial institutions with investment-grade ratings. For accounts receivable, the Company is
exposed to credit risk in the event of nonpayment by customers to the extent of the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, one reseller accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable.
Segment Information
The Company operates as a single operating and reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its chief executive officer, and the CODM evaluates financial performance and makes resource allocation decisions based on consolidated financial information. The measure of segment profit or loss that the CODM uses to allocate resources and assess performance is the Company’s consolidated net income, as reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The CODM uses consolidated net income to assess overall Company performance, monitor progress toward financial targets, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of resources across functions and initiatives.
The accounting policies applied to the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. All expense categories on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income are significant, and there are no other significant expenses that are reviewed or provided to the CODM that would require disclosure.
Assets provided to the CODM are consistent with those reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Information related to the Company’s products and services is disclosed in Note 1. Information about geographical distribution of the Company’s revenue and long-lived assets is disclosed in Notes 3 and 4, respectively.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 included in the 2025 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and ContractAssets. ASU 2025-05 provides guidance on the measurement of credit losses for certain accounts receivable and contractassets arising from revenue transactions. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued new guidance requiring additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement in response to longstanding requests from investors for more information about an entity’s expenses. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE), applies to all public business entities (PBEs) and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2024-03 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software(Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The amended guidancemodernizes the accounting for costs related to internal-use software to more closely align with current software development methods. The guidance removes references to project stages and clarifies when the Company is required to start capitalizing eligible costs. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied on a prospective basis, a modified basis for in-process projects, or a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The amendments improve the codification guidance for interim reporting and require that entities provide specific disclosures in interim periods that were previously only required in annual financial statements. The new guidance is effective for fiscal
11
years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its future interim financial disclosures.

Remaining Performance Obligations
As of June 30, 2026, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was $7.2 million, of which the Company expects to recognize over 71% within the next two years, 21% between two to four years and the remainder thereafter. The timing of revenue recognition within the next four years is largely dependent upon the go-live dates of the Company's customers under the Company’s contracts.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company has contractual rights under its commercial agreements with customers and resellers to receive $45.0 million of fixed consideration related to the future minimum guarantees through 2030. As permitted, the Company has elected to exclude from this disclosure any variable consideration that meets specified criteria. Accordingly, the total unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations related to processing services is significantly higher than the amount disclosed.
Contract Liabilities
Revenue recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of each of the periods was $1.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

8. Commitments and Contingencies
Other Commitments
The Company has entered into certain non-cancellable agreements for software and marketing services that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum services to be used, pricing provisions and the approximate timing of the transaction. There have been no material changes to the Company's contractual obligations or commitments outside of the ordinary course of business as compared to those described in the 2025 Form 10-K. This disclosure excludes obligations under contracts that are cancellable or have remaining terms of 12 months or less.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is subject to or otherwise involved in various lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings that arise out of or are incidental to the conduct of our business, including those relating to employment matters, and contractual and other commercial disputes. The Company records a liability in its condensed consolidated financial statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is probable to result in a liability and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and records an accrued liability. Accrued liabilities related to legal matters are included within other accrued expenses in Note 7. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of these matters, the Company believes that, as of June 30, 2026, no current claims and legal proceedings are expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
14
Indemnification
The Company enters into indemnification provisions under agreements with other parties in the ordinary course of business, including business partners, investors, contractors, customers, and the Company’s officers, directors, and certain employees. The Company has agreed to indemnify and defend the indemnified party claims and related losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party from actual or threatened third-party claims due to the Company’s activities or non-compliance with obligations or representations made by the Company. The Company seeks to limit, or cap, its indemnification exposure in its commercial and other contracts. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these indemnification provisions due to the Company’s limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision.
9. Equity
Warrants
On May 13, 2021, the Company entered into a warrant agreement with JPMC Strategic Investments I Corporation (“JPMC”), an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an underwriter in our 2021 initial public offering ("IPO"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue a warrant to JPMC for up to 509,370 shares of Class A common stock upon completion of the IPO at an exercise price of $18.38 per share (the “May 2021 warrant agreement”). Upon completion of the IPO, 382,027 of the warrant shares vested and were exercisable. The vesting of the remaining 127,343 shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrant was subject to the achievement of certain commercial milestones through December 31, 2025 pursuant to a related commercial agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPM Chase”), an affiliate of JPMC. As discussed below, this commercial agreement was amended in August 2022, and the achievement of certain commercial milestones was extended through December 31, 2026 and minimum revenue commitments were set for each of the calendar years through 2026. As of June 30, 2026, all 509,370 warrant shares were vested and exercisable under the May 2021 warrant agreement.
On August 29, 2022, the Company entered into a second warrant agreement with JPMC, in connection with an amendment to the Company's existing commercial agreement with JPM Chase discussed above, pursuant to which the Company issued a warrant to JPMC for up to 684,510 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $10.10 per share (the “August 2022 warrant agreement”). Upon signing the August 2022 warrant agreement, 171,128 of the warrant shares vested and were exercisable. The vesting of the remaining 513,382 shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrant was subject to the achievement of certain commercial milestones through December 31, 2026 pursuant to the commercial agreement, as amended. As of June 30, 2026, all 684,510 warrant shares were vested and exercisable under the August 2022 warrant agreement.
The Company accounts for the consideration payable in the form of warrants to its vendor as share-based compensation expense. The warrant fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.
10. Stock-Based Compensation
In May 2021, the Company’s board of directors (the "Board") adopted, and its stockholders approved, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan"), which became effective in connection with the IPO. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), to the Company's employees and any of its parent or subsidiary corporations’ employees, and for the grant of non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and performance awards to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants and any of its parent or subsidiary corporations’ employees and consultants. A total of 10,459,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock have been reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan in addition to (i) an annual increase of 4% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, with Class A and Class B common stock taken together, on the first day of each fiscal year (subject to the Compensation Committee of the Board exercising discretion to increase or decrease such amount, the "Evergreen Addition") and (ii) upon the expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or reacquisition of any shares of Class B common stock underlying outstanding stock awards granted under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, such number of shares not to exceed 7,563,990. On January 1, 2026, pursuant to the Evergreen Addition, approximately 5.0 million shares of Class A common stock were added to the 2021 Plan issuance reserve. At June 30, 2026, there were approximately 29.5 million remaining shares available for the Company to grant under the 2021 Plan.

There were no options granted or expired during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and no options were forfeited during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price of the options and the fair value of the Company’s common stock. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was less than $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and less than $0.1 million and $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
At June 30, 2026, all outstanding stock options granted under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan were fully vested. Accordingly, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options.
Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")
A summary of the Company’s RSU activity during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was as follows:

The fair value of RSU grants is determined based upon the market closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant. The aggregate grant-date fair value of RSUs granted during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $12.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and $34.8 million and $17.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. RSUs vest over the requisite service period, which generally ranges from four to five years from the date of grant for employees and one year (historically ranging from one to three years for awards vested prior to 2026) for directors, subject to continued employment for employees and provision of services for non-employees. The aggregate fair value of RSUs vested during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $5.6 million and $5.9 million, respectively, and $13.8 million and $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
At June 30, 2026, there was $81.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs granted under the 2021 Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 3.7 years.

11. Income Taxes
The Company computes its tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date income from recurring operations and adjusting for discrete items arising in that quarter.
The Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:
Effective tax rate
28.3%
19.9%
21.2%
The Company's effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were primarily impacted by permanent differences for disallowed compensation pursuant to Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 162(m), state taxes, and U.S. research and development ("R&D") credit claims. For the comparable periods in 2025, the effective tax rates were primarily impacted by permanent differences for disallowed stock-based compensation pursuant to IRC Section 162(m), state taxes, discrete benefits for excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation, and prior year Canadian R&D credit claims.
The Company forecasts an estimated effective tax rate in 2026, exclusive of discrete benefits, of 28.5%, which primarily differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate due to state taxes, permanent differences on nondeductible compensation, and Canadian and U.S. R&D credit claims.
12. Net Income per Share Attributable to Common Stock
Basic net income per share attributable to common stock is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income per share attributable to common stock is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents to the extent they are dilutive. The dilutive effect of outstanding options, RSUs and warrants is reflected in diluted net income per share attributable to common stock by application of the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to common stock excludes all anti-dilutive common shares.
The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class of common stock, and the resulting basic and diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders are, therefore, the same for both Class A and Class B common stock on both an individual and combined basis.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
As a leading provider of cloud-based bill payment technology and solutions, we deliver our next-generation product suite through a modern technology stack to a broad and diverse base of business and financial institution clients. Our platform was used by approximately 53 million consumers and businesses globally in December 2025 to pay their bills, move money and engage with our clients. We serve billers of all sizes that primarily provide non-discretionary services across a variety of industry verticals, including utilities, financial services, insurance, government, telecommunications, real estate management, education, consumer finance, healthcare, business-to-business (B2B) and small business. We also serve financial institutions by providing them with a modern platform that their customers use for bill payment, account-to-account transfers and person-to-person transfers. By powering this comprehensive network of billers and financial institutions, each with their own set of bill payment requirements, we believe we have created an enviable feedback loop that enables us to continuously drive innovation, grow our business and uniquely improve the electronic bill payment experience for participants in the bill payment ecosystem.
Our platform provides our clients with easy-to-use, flexible and secure electronic bill payment experiences powered by an omni-channel payment infrastructure that allows consumers to pay their bills using their preferred payment type and channel. Because our biller platform is developed on a single code base and leverages a SaaS infrastructure, we can rapidly deploy new features and tools to our entire biller base simultaneously. Through a single point of integration to our billers’ core financial and operating systems, our mission-critical solutions provide our billers with a payments operating system that helps them collect revenue faster and more profitably and empower their consumers with the information and transparency needed to control their finances.

We define transactions processed as the number of revenue generating payment transactions, such as checks, credit card and debit card transactions, automated clearing house (ACH) items and emerging payment types, which are initiated and generally processed through our platform during a period. The number of transactions also includes account-to-account and person-to-person transfers. The increase in number of transactions processed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same periods in 2025 was primarily driven by new biller implementations and increased transactions from both new and existing billers.
Other Key Factors and Trends Affecting Our Operating Results
The discussion below includes a number of forward-looking statements regarding our future performance. For a discussion of important factors, including the continuing development of our business and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from matters referred to below, see the discussions under “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” herein and in the 2025 Form 10-K.
Impact of Economic and Inflationary Trends
We continued to operate in an environment of elevated macroeconomic uncertainty during the second quarter of 2026. Although inflation has moderated from prior periods, our cost structure and consumer spending patterns remain impacted by persistent pricing pressures, impending tariffs, and evolving trade policies. Furthermore, heightened geopolitical instability, particularly the ongoing conflict in Iran, has exacerbated volatility in global energy markets. Broader uncertainties relating to interest rate trajectories and these geopolitical tensions continue to affect our overall operating environment.
Inflationary conditions and energy market volatility could indirectly affect our business by driving up customer bills, particularly within the utility sector, while also contributing to higher operating costs across the broader economy. Rapid increases in energy prices may place additional pressure on household budgets, potentially increasing delinquency rates or altering historical payment timing patterns.
These conditions may influence consumer payment behaviors in countervailing ways. Consumers experiencing financial strain may elect to defer payments, shift to lower-cost payment methods, or make partial, more frequent payments. While payment deferrals and the adoption of lower-cost methods could reduce our average revenue per transaction and overall payment volume, an increase in partial payment activity could simultaneously drive higher aggregate transaction counts.
This shifting dynamic may create a compounding effect on our unit economics. Any corresponding increase in transaction volumes driven by partial payments could trigger a proportional rise in our interchange, network, and processing fees. Because these elevated costs of revenue may offset the potential top-line gains from higher transaction counts, this cycle could frequently result in flat net revenue growth. We may be unable to fully offset these interrelated pressures through pricing actions, as such adjustments typically lag behind the immediate impact of rising network and operating costs. Consequently, an inability to mitigate these pressures in real-time may continue to adversely affect our margins, operating results, and overall financial condition.
Beyond external economic pressures, our ability to scale efficiently depends on our capacity to quickly recruit, train and retain a high-performing workforce. We continue to offer competitive compensation and invest in employee well-being to attract and retain a high-performing workforce that enables us to meet the expanding needs of our customers and support our long-term growth objectives. While employee-related costs naturally fluctuate, they have trended upward in tandem with our business expansion, and we expect this trajectory to continue as we scale our operations.
Non-GAAP Measures
We use supplemental measures of our performance that are derived from our consolidated financial information but which are not presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. These supplemental non-GAAP measures include contribution profit, adjusted gross profit, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow.
Contribution Profit
We calculate contribution profit as gross profit plus other cost of revenue. Other cost of revenue equals cost of revenue less interchange, assessment and other network fees paid by us to our payment processors.
Adjusted Gross Profit
We calculate adjusted gross profit as gross profit adjusted for non-cash items, primarily stock-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and capitalized software development costs.
Adjusted EBITDA
We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest income (expense), net, other income (expense), depreciation and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and capitalized software development costs, and income taxes, adjusted to exclude the effects of net foreign exchange gain (loss), stock-based compensation expense and certain nonrecurring expenses that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations.
Free Cash Flow
We calculate free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures, other intangible assets acquired, and capitalized internal-use software development costs.
How we use Non-GAAP Measures
We use non-GAAP measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results allows management and our board of directors to more fully understand our consolidated financial performance from period to period and helps management project our future consolidated financial performance as forecasts are developed at a level of detail different from that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP measures provide our investors with useful information to help them evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our operating performance and enabling them to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. In particular, we exclude interchange, assessment and other network fees in the presentation of contribution profit because we believe inclusion is less directly reflective of our operating performance as we do not control the payment channel used by consumers, which is the primary determinant of the amount of interchange, assessment and other network fees. We use contribution profit to measure the amount available to fund our operations after interchange, assessment and other network fees, which are directly linked to the number of transactions we process and thus our revenue and gross profit. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP measures presented in this report. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies; other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We also urge you to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures included below. To properly and prudently evaluate our business, we encourage you to review the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

In general, contribution profit is driven by the number of transactions we process, offset by network fees associated with processing those transactions. The amount of contribution profit per transaction may vary due to a variety of factors substantially outside of our control, including client size, type and industry as well as whether the client is a biller, financial institution or other partner. Contribution profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 increased approximately 26.3% and 25.7%, as compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase was driven by growth in transaction count and volume driven from both new and existing billers and financial institutions.

Adjusted gross profit is driven primarily by the same factors that impact gross profit with the exception of excluding the amortization and stock-based compensation recorded in cost of revenue. Adjusted gross profit improved in line with contribution profit. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of contribution profit increased due to realization of economies of scale.

Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of profitability and generally is expected to move in line with revenue, contribution profit, gross profit and adjusted gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA increased 54.0% and 47.9% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher revenues driven by growth in transaction volumes from both new and existing billers and financial institutions. The rate of growth in Adjusted EBITDA exceeded the rate of growth in both contribution profit and adjusted gross profit, reflecting the operating leverage inherent in our business, as certain operating expenses are largely fixed and did not increase in proportion to the growth in revenue.

The increase in free cash flow for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily driven by higher cash generated from operations, reflecting stronger operating performance and improved conversion of working capital into cash, partially offset by higher capitalized internal-use software development costs.
The decrease in free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, reflected increased investments in working capital and internal-use software development, which more than offset improved operating performance.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
The increase in revenue was primarily driven by an increase in the number of transactions processed, which was driven by the implementation of new billers and increased transactions from our existing billers.
Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin
The increase in cost of revenue primarily corresponds with higher revenue and transaction volumes, as it consists primarily of interchange fees and processor costs.
Gross profit increased in tandem with revenue growth. Gross margin increased slightly, as the impact of a shift in customer mix towards high-volume enterprise billers with lower margins was more than offset by improved economies of scale.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses remained relatively consistent compared to the prior-year period. Higher employee-related costs were largely offset by lower amortization and stock-based compensation expenses.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily driven by higher agency and sales commission costs and higher employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation, partially offset by lower amortization expense.
General and Administrative Expenses
The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by higher stock-based compensation and employee-related costs, as well as higher lease expense and insurance premiums. These increases were partially offset by lower professional and legal fees.
The change in interest income, net, was mainly due to higher cash balances held with banks, offset by lower interest rates.
Income Taxes
The change in provision for income taxes as well as the increase in the Company's effective tax rate, which was 28.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to 19.9% for the same period in the prior year, were primarily due to increased executive stock-based compensation in 2026 and more significant excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation in 2025.

The change in provision for income taxes as well as the increase in the Company's effective tax rate, which was 28.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to 21.2% for the same period in the prior year, were primarily due to increased executive stock-based compensation in 2026 and more significant excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation in 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Funds
As of June 30, 2026, we had $377.7 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. We believe that existing unrestricted cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to support our working capital, capital expenditure requirements, and other commitments described in Note 8, for at least the next 12 months. Since inception, we have financed operations primarily through the sale of equity securities and revenue from payment transaction fees. Our principal uses of cash are funding operations, which primarily consist of employee-related costs, payments to third parties to fulfill our payment transactions and payments to sales and marketing partners. Although this is subject to change based on market opportunities or changing priorities, we currently do not have any material planned capital expenditures or acquisitions in the next 12 months.
From time to time, we may explore additional financing sources and means to lower our cost of capital, which could include equity, equity-linked and debt financing. We cannot assure you that any additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to raise capital would adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or equity-linked securities, the ownership of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we raise additional financing by the incurrence of indebtedness, we may be subject to increased fixed payment obligations and could be subject to additional restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business or execute our growth strategy. Any future indebtedness we incur may result in terms that could be unfavorable to equity investors.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Our primary source of operating cash is revenue from payment transaction fees. Our primary uses of operating cash are personnel-related costs, payments to third parties to fulfill our payment transactions and payments to sales and marketing partners. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $79.3 million. Net income was $46.4 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $34.1 million, consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, amortization of capitalized contract acquisition costs and warrant cost, non-cash lease expense and provision for expected credit losses. These amounts were offset by $1.2 million of net cash outflows resulting from changes in our operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $81.9 million. Net income was $28.5 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $30.0 million consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, amortization of capitalized contract acquisition costs and warrant cost, non-cash lease expense and provision for expected credit losses. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities provided an additional $23.4 million of cash.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 consisted of $19.2 million of capitalized internal-use software development costs and $0.2 million of purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by a $0.9 million cash inflow from net change in interest-bearing deposits.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 consisted of $18.2 million of capitalized internal-use software development costs and $0.2 million of purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by a $0.6 million cash inflow from net change in interest-bearing deposits.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 consisted primarily of $3.8 million of payments of taxes withheld on net settled vesting of restricted stock units, which was offset by $0.1 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock-based awards by employees.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosures of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the respective dates of adoption or expected adoption and effects on our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
There have been no material changes in our exposures to market risk since December 31, 2025. For details on the Company’s interest rate and foreign currency exchange risks, see Part I, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("the Exchange Act")), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may be involved in claims, regulatory examinations or investigations and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. The outcome of any such claims or proceedings, regardless of the merits, and the Company’s ultimate liability, if any, is inherently uncertain. Furthermore, we may become subject to stockholder inspection demands under Delaware law and derivative or other similar litigation. From time to time as appropriate, we accrue liabilities related to legal claims in our financial statements. We are not currently party to any material legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding against us that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition.
