CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, anticipated benefits from our recent acquisitions, expected demand on our product offerings, including further implementation of electronic payment options and statements regarding our market and growth opportunities, and our business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations. You generally can identify these statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “potential,” “continue,” “may,” “seek,” “approximately,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate” or “anticipate” and similar expressions or the negative versions of these words or comparable words, as well as future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “likely” and “could.” These statements may be found under Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: exposure to economic conditions and political risk affecting the consumer loan market, the receivables management industry and consumer and commercial spending, including bank failures or other adverse events affecting financial institutions, inflationary pressures, evolving U.S. trade policies, U.S. government shutdown, general economic slowdown or recession; changes in the payment processing market in which we compete, including with respect to its competitive landscape, technology evolution or regulatory changes; changes in the vertical markets that we target, including the regulatory environment applicable to our clients; the ability to retain, develop and hire key personnel; risks relating to our relationships within the payment ecosystem; risk that we may not be able to execute our growth strategies, including identifying and executing acquisitions; risks relating to data security; changes in accounting policies applicable to us; the risk that we may not be able to maintain effective internal controls; and those risks described under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there is no assurance that the events or results suggested by the forward-looking statements will in fact occur, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organizational Structure and Corporate Information
Repay Holdings Corporation was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on July 11, 2019 in connection with the closing of a transaction (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to which Thunder Bridge Acquisition Ltd., a special purpose acquisition company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Thunder Bridge”), (a) domesticated into a Delaware corporation and changed its name to “Repay Holdings Corporation” and (b) consummated the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Thunder Bridge with and into Hawk Parent Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Hawk Parent”).
Throughout this section, unless otherwise noted or unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we”, “us”, “Repay” and the “Company” and similar references refer to Repay Holdings Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X as they apply to interim financial information. Accordingly, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when earned, usually upon the date services are rendered, and expenses are recognized at the date services are rendered or goods are received.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the Company’s opinion include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature or a description of the nature and amount of any adjustments other than normal recurring adjustments, operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. The interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Repay Holdings Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiary, Hawk Parent Holdings LLC, along with Hawk Parent Holdings LLC’s wholly owned subsidiaries: Hawk Intermediate Holdings, LLC, Hawk Buyer Holdings, LLC, Repay Holdings, LLC, M&A Ventures, LLC, Repay Management Holdco Inc., Repay Management Services LLC, Sigma Acquisition, LLC, Wildcat Acquisition, LLC, Marlin Acquirer, LLC, REPAY International LLC, REPAY Canada Solutions ULC, TriSource Solutions, LLC (“TriSource”), Mesa Acquirer, LLC, CDT Technologies LTD (“Ventanex”), Viking GP Holdings, LLC, cPayPlus, LLC (“cPayPlus”), CPS Payment Services, LLC, Media Payments, LLC, Custom Payment Systems, LLC, Electronic Payment Providers, LLC, Internet Payment Exchange, LLC, Stratus Payment Solutions, LLC, Clear Payment Solutions, LLC, Harbor Acquisition LLC, Payix Holdings Incorporated and Payix Incorporated. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
The Company changed its presentation for Interest income (expense), net to Interest income and Interest expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Segment Reporting
The Company reports operating results through two reportable segments: (1) Consumer Payments and (2) Business Payments, as further discussed in Note 13. Segments.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements not yet Adopted
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires public business entities on an annual basis to (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of ASU No. 2023-09 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires an entity to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements at each interim and annual reporting period. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of ASU 2024-03 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-04, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)” (“ASU 2024-04”). ASU 2024-04 clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. ASU 2024-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-06. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of ASU 2024-04 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
In July 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” (“ASU 2025-05”). ASU 2025-05 provides (1) all entities with a practical expedient and (2) entities other than public business entities with an accounting policy election when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of ASU 2025-05 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (“ASU 2025-06”). ASU 2025-06 removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”) throughout Subtopic 350-40 and requires an entry to start capitalizing software costs when
7
both of the following occur: (1) Management has authorized and committed to funding the softwareproject; (2) It is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the “probable-to-complete recognition threshold”). ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of ASU 2025-06 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is included within Prepaid expenses and other in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024, basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same since the inclusion of the assumed exchange of all limited liability company interests of Hawk Parent (“Post-Merger Repay Units”), unvested share-based awards, outstanding stock options, outstanding employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) purchase rights and the Company’s convertible senior notes would have been anti-dilutive. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes is not included in the computation of senior notes convertible into Class A common stock as the Company is required to settle such amount in cash. The Company may elect to settle the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes being converted in cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares. Because the average market price of the Company’s Class A common stock for the period was less than the conversion price, there are no incremental shares to be considered in the computation of senior notes convertible into Class A common stock.
The following table summarizes net income (loss) attributable to the Company and the weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding:
Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding - basic

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the following common stock equivalent shares were excluded from the computation of the diluted loss per share, since their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Shares of the Company’s Class V common stock do not participate in the earnings or losses of the Company and, therefore, are not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class V common stock under the two-class method has not been presented. Each share of the Company’s Class V common stock gives the holder the right to vote the number of shares corresponding to the number of Post-Merger Repay Units held by that holder, but shares of Class V common stock have no economic rights.
5. Fair Value
The following table summarizes, by level within the fair value hierarchy, estimated fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis or disclosed, but not carried, at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the dates presented. There were no transfers into, out of, or between levels within the fair value hierarchy during any of the periods presented.

Cash and cash equivalents contains cash on hand, demand deposit accounts, money market accounts and short term investments with original maturities of three months or less. They are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), as the price is obtained from quoted market prices in an active market. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values due to the short maturities and highly liquid nature of these accounts.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820, as the primary component is cash that is used as collateral for debts. The carrying amounts of the Company’s restricted cash approximate their fair values due to the highly liquid nature.
Other assets contain a minority equity investment in a privately-held company. The Company elected a measurement alternative for measuring this investment under ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities, in which the carrying amount is adjusted based on any observable price changes in orderly transactions. The investment is classified as Level 2 as observable adjustments to value are infrequent and occur in an inactive market.
The revolving credit facility and convertible senior notes are measured at amortized cost, which the carrying value is unpaid principal net of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs (“DDIC”). The estimated fair value of the revolving credit facility approximates the unpaid principal because its interest rate approximates market interest rates. The estimated fair value of convertible senior notes is determined using the quoted prices from over-the-counter markets. The estimated fair value of the Company’s borrowings is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the market interest rates and quoted prices are generally observable and do not contain a high level of subjectivity. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $0 drawn against the revolving credit facility.
The following table provides the carrying value and estimated fair value of borrowings. See Note 8. Borrowings for further discussion on borrowings.

Tax Receivable Agreement
Upon the completion of the Business Combination, the Company entered into the TRA with holders of Post-Merger Repay Units. As a result of the TRA, the Company established a liability in its consolidated financial statements. The Company elected to measure TRA at fair value under ASC 825, Financial Instruments - Fair Value Option, to better align its economic value with the Company’s risk management strategies. The fair value of TRA is based on estimates of
11
discounted future cash flows associated with the estimated payments to the Post-Merger Repay Unit holders. These inputs are not observable in the market; thus, the TRA is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, under ASC 820. The change in fair value is re-measured at each reporting period with the change in fair value being recognized in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which is recorded within Change in fair value of tax receivable liability in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company used a discount rate, also referred to as the Early Termination Rate, as defined in the TRA, to determine the present value, based on a risk-free rate plus a spread, pursuant to the TRA. A rate of 5.96% was applied to the forecasted TRA payments at September 30, 2025, in order to determine the fair value. A significant increase or decrease in the discount rate could have resulted in a lower or higher balance, respectively, as of the measurement date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the TRA balance was adjusted by $6.1 million through exchanges, a payment, accretion expense and a valuation adjustment, related to a change in the discount rate, which was 6.21% as of December 31, 2024.
The following table provides a rollforward of the TRA related to the acquisition and exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units. See Note 12. Taxation for further discussion on the TRA.

After considering the decline in the Company’s stock price during the second quarter of 2025, the Company considered goodwill impairment triggering events and determined that goodwill was more likely than not impaired. The Company performed a quantitative analysis using both a discounted cash flow method and a market comparable method of estimating fair value and concluded that goodwill associated with the Consumer Payments reporting unit was impaired as of June 30, 2025. The fair value of the Consumer Payments reporting unit was primarily impacted by a change in the discount rate and the decrease to comparable company multiples. The Company recognized an impairment loss of $103.2 million on goodwill related to the Consumer Payments segment and an impairment loss of $0.6 million related to the Business Payments segment within the Impairment loss in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 As of September 30, 2025, accumulated impairment losses were $103.2 million for the Consumer Payments segment and $76.3 million for the Business Payments segment. As of December 31, 2024, accumulated impairment losses were $75.7 million for the Business Payments segment and no accumulated impairment losses for the Consumer Payments segment.
8. Borrowings
Second Amended Credit Agreement
On July 10, 2024, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”) with certain financial institutions, as lenders, and Truist Bank, as administrative agent. The Second Amended Credit Agreement establishes a $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The borrowings accrue interest at either base rate plus a margin of 0.75% to 1.75% or at an adjusted SOFR rate plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.75%, in each case depending on the total net leverage ratio, as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement. The unused commitment fees accrue at 0.25% on the daily amount of unused commitment. This facility matures on the earlier of (a) July 10, 2029, (b) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the 2026 Notes (defined below) (subject to certain exceptions for adequate liquidity) and (c) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the 2029 Notes (defined below) (subject to certain exceptions for adequate liquidity). The maturity date may be extended, subject to certain terms and conditions.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $0 drawn against the revolving credit facility.

Convertible Senior Notes
On January 19, 2021, the Company issued $440.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) in a private placement. The initial conversion rate of any 2026 Notes was 29.7619 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $33.60 per share of Class A common stock). Upon conversion of the 2026 Notes, the Company may choose to pay or deliver cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The 2026 Notes will mature on February 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, repurchased or redeemed. Subject to Nasdaq requirements, the Company controls the conversion rights prior to November 3, 2025, unless a fundamental change or an event of default occurs. On July 8, 2024, the Company repurchased $220.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes at a discount based on the quoted prices from over-the-counter markets, with a cash payment of $205.2 million. The repurchase of the 2026 Notes resulted in a gain of $13.1 million, net of a write-off of debt issuance costs relating to the repurchased principal during the year ended December 31, 2024, and was recorded within Gain on extinguishment of debt in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. On August 22, 2025, the Company repurchased $73.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes at a discount, for a total cash consideration of $72.0 million. The transaction resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.4 million, net of a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the repurchased principal. This gain was recognized within Gain on extinguishment of debt in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
On July 8, 2024, the Company issued $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. $27.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes were sold in connection with the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase such additional 2029 Notes offering pursuant to the purchase agreement. The net proceeds of the 2029 Notes were $279.2 million after fees and expenses incurred. The 2029 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.875% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2025. The initial conversion rate of the 2029 Notes was 76.8182 of the Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2029 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $13.02 per share of Class A common stock). The conversion rate is subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. Prior to April 15, 2029, the 2029 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders, only under certain circumstances, into cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be converted and cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares, at the Company’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes being converted. On or after April 15, 2029 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert the 2029 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. The 2029 Notes will mature on July 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the conversion contingencies of the convertible senior notes were not met, and the conversion terms of the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes were not significantly changed. The Company’s interest expense on the convertible senior notes was $2.1 million and $6.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

Legal Matters
The Company is a party to various claims and lawsuits incidental to its business. In the Company’s opinion, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from the outcome of such matters, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, liquidity, results of operations or cash flows.
Leases
The Company has commitments under operating leases for real estate leased from third parties under non-cancelable operating leases. The Company’s leases typically have lease terms between three years and ten years, with the longest lease term having an expiration date in 2035. Most of these leases include one or more renewal options for five years or less, and certain leases also include lessee termination options. At lease commencement, the Company assesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise a renewal option, or reasonably certain not to exercise a termination option, by considering various economic factors. Options that are reasonably certain of being exercised are factored into the determination of the lease term, and related payments are included in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized sublease income of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized sublease income of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On August 18, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the Repay Holdings Corporation 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The purpose of the ESPP is to provide eligible employees with the opportunity to purchase the Company’s Class A common stock through accumulated payroll deductions. A total of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock are available for issuance under the ESPP. Under the ESPP, participants are offered the right to
purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a discount during a series of offering periods. The length of the offering periods under the ESPP will be determined by the administrator and may be up to twenty-seven months long.
12. Taxation

The Company’s effective tax rate was 18.5% and 2.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.8 million and $3.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

The Company recognized adjustments of $1.8 million and $3.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, of deferred tax assets related to the income tax benefit, derived from the net operating loss generated over the same period. The Company recognized adjustments of $1.5 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, of deferred tax assets related to the income tax expense and benefit, respectively, derived from the net operating loss generated over the same period.
Deferred tax assets, net of $167.0 million as of September 30, 2025, relates primarily to the basis difference in the Company’s investment in Hawk Parent. The basis difference arose primarily as a result of the subsequent exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units by the Company. In addition, as a result of the merger with BillingTree on June 15, 2021, an estimated opening deferred tax liability net of $36.1 million, as adjusted, was recorded. The merger was recognized as a Qualified Stock Purchase within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) Section 338(d)(3). As such, no step up in the tax asset basis was permitted creating an estimated net deferred tax liability related to the tax asset basis difference in the investment in Hawk Parent on the opening balance sheet date. Furthermore, as part of the 2029 Notes issuance on July 8, 2024, the Company incurred $39.2 million of costs for privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions to cover the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the 2029 Notes. The capped call had an initial strike price of $13.02 per share and a cap price of $20.42 per share, which is subject to certain adjustments. For tax purposes, this is considered a tax-efficient capped call (i.e., the capped call is integrated with the 2029 Notes in accordance with Section 1.1275-6 of the Code). As such, the total $39.2 million incurred to acquire the capped call is treated as original issue discount (“OID”) on synthetic debt and eligible for a deduction as interest expense over the life of the instrument, subject to certain limitations under 163(j). As a result of the capped call being booked as equity for GAAP purposes instead of OID on synthetic debt, the Company was required to set up a tax effected deferred tax asset of $9.9 million for the equivalent amount of the capped call. This temporary difference created as a result of the OID Interest Expense deduction is expected to be realized over the term of the instrument.
19
The Company did not recognize any adjustment to the deferred tax asset (“DTA”) and offsetting deferred tax liability (“DTL”) recorded as a result of the ceiling rule limitation arising under Code Sec. 704(c) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, to account for the portion of the Company’s outside basis in the partnership interest that it will not recover through tax deductions. As the ceiling rule causes taxable income allocations to be in excess of 704(b) book allocations the DTL will unwind, leaving only the DTA, which may only be recovered through the sale of the partnership interest in Hawk Parent. The Company has concluded, based on the weight of all positive and negative evidence, that all of the DTA associated with the ceiling rule limitation is not likely to be realized. As such, a 100% valuation allowance was recognized.
On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted tax reform legislation through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). Included in this legislation are provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of domestic United States research and development expenses, immediate expensing of certain capital expenditures, and other changes to the United States taxation of profits derived from foreign operations. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of OBBBA but currently does not expect it to have a material impact on our estimated annual effective tax rate in 2025.
No uncertain tax positions existed as of September 30, 2025.
Tax Receivable Agreement Liability
Pursuant to the Company’s election under Section 754 of the Code, the Company expects to obtain an increase in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of Hawk Parent when Post-Merger Repay Units are redeemed or exchanged for Class A common stock of Repay Holdings Corporation. The Company intends to treat any redemptions and exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units as direct purchases for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that the Company would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.
On July 11, 2019, the Company entered into a TRA that provides for the payment by the Company of 100% of the amount of any tax benefits realized, or in some cases are deemed to realize, as a result of (i) increases in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of Hawk Parent resulting from any redemptions or exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units and from its acquisition of the equity of the selling Hawk Parent members, (ii) tax basis increases attributable to payments made under the TRA, and (iii) deductions attributable to imputed interest pursuant to the TRA (the “TRA Payments”). The TRA Payments are not conditioned upon any continued ownership interest in Hawk Parent or the Company. The rights of each party under the TRA other than the Company are assignable. The timing and amount of aggregate payments due under the TRA may vary based on a number of factors, including the timing and amount of taxable income generated by the Company each year, as well as the tax rate then applicable, among other factors.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had a liability of $197.6 million related to its projected obligations under the TRA, which is captioned as tax receivable agreement liability in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The decrease of $6.1 million in the TRA liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily a result of the payment of $16.3 million on the current balance of the TRA, partially offset by accretion and a small decrease in the Early Termination Rate, as reported at December 31, 2024, over the same period.
13. Segments
The Company organizes its business structure around two operating segments based on review of discrete financial results for each of the operating segments by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), for performance assessment and resource allocation purposes. Each of the Company’s operating segments represents a reportable segment based on ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Company’s two reportable segments are as follows: (1) Consumer Payments and (2) Business Payments. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. For both segments, the CODM uses the segment gross profit to allocate resources (including employees, property, and financial or capital resources) and assess performance of each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis for the gross profit measure when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments.
20
The Consumer Payments segment provides payment processing solutions (including debit and credit card processing, ACH processing and other electronic payment acceptance solutions, as well as our loan disbursement product) that enable the Company’s clients to collect payments and disburse funds to consumers and includes the Company’s clearing and settlement solutions (“RCS”) offering. RCS is the Company’s proprietary clearing and settlement platform through which the Company markets customizable payment processing programs to other Independent Sales Organizations (“ISOs”) and payment facilitators. The strategic vertical markets served by the Consumer Payments segment primarily include personal loans, automotive loans, receivables management, credit unions, mortgage servicing, consumer healthcare and diversified retail. The Consumer Payments segment represented approximately 85% of the Company’s total revenue after any intersegment eliminations for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Consumer Payments segment represented approximately 81% and 85% of the Company’s total revenue after any intersegment eliminations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
The Business Payments segment provides payment processing solutions (including accounts payable automation, debit and credit card processing, virtual credit card processing, ACH processing and other electronic payment acceptance solutions) that enable the Company’s clients to collect or send payments to other businesses. The strategic vertical markets served within the Business Payments segment primarily include retail automotive, education, field services, governments and municipalities, healthcare, media, HOA management and hospitality. The Business Payments segment represented approximately 15% of the Company’s total revenue after any intersegment eliminations for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Business Payments segment represented approximately 19% and 15% of the Company’s total revenue after any intersegment eliminations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Overview
We provide integrated payment processing solutions to industry-oriented markets in which clients have specific transaction processing needs. We refer to these markets as “vertical markets” or “verticals.” Our proprietary, integrated payment technology platform reduces the complexity of the electronic payments process for businesses, while enhancing their consumers’ overall experience. We are a payments innovator, differentiated by our proprietary, integrated payment technology platform and our ability to reduce the complexity of the electronic payments for businesses. We intend to continue to strategically target verticals where we believe our ability to tailor payment solutions to our client needs, our deep knowledge of our vertical markets and the embedded nature of our integrated payment solutions will drive strong growth by attracting new clients and fostering long-term client relationships.
We report our financial results based on two reportable segments.
Consumer Payments – Our Consumer Payments segment provides payment processing solutions (including debit and credit card processing, ACH processing and other electronic payment acceptance solutions, as well as our loan disbursement product) that enable our clients to collect payments from and disburse funds to consumers and includes our RCS offering. RCS is our proprietary clearing and settlement platform through which we market customizable payment processing programs to other ISOs and payment facilitators. The strategic vertical markets served by our Consumer Payments segment primarily include personal loans, automotive loans, receivables management, credit unions, mortgage servicing, consumer healthcare and diversified retail.
Business Payments – Our Business Payments segment provides payment processing solutions (including accounts payable automation, debit and credit card processing, virtual credit card processing, ACH processing and other electronic payment acceptance solutions) that enable our clients to collect payments from or send payments to other businesses. The strategic vertical markets served within our Business Payments segment primarily include retail automotive, education, field services, governments and municipalities, healthcare, media, HOA management and hospitality.
Macroeconomic Conditions
We have been monitoring the current economic environment in the U.S. and globally – characterized by heightened inflation (including changes in wages), evolving U.S. trade policies, supply chain issues and slower growth. Such macroeconomic conditions may continue to evolve in ways that are difficult to fully anticipate and may also include increased levels of unemployment and/or a recession. Some or all of these market factors have and could continue to adversely affect our payment volumes from the consumer loan market, the receivables management industry and consumer and commercial spending. The effect of these events on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. Finally, the impact of all of these various events on our results in the first nine months of 2025 may not be necessarily indicative of their impact on our results for the remainder of 2025.
Business Combination
The Company was formed upon closing of the merger of Hawk Parent with a subsidiary of Thunder Bridge, a special purpose acquisition company, on July 11, 2019. On the closing of the Business Combination, Thunder Bridge changed its name to “Repay Holdings Corporation.”
Key Factors Affecting Our Business
Key factors that we believe impact our business, results of operations and financial condition include, but are not limited to, the following:
Key Components of Our Revenues and Expenses
Revenues
Revenue. As our clients process increased volumes of payments, our revenues increase as a result of the fees we charge for processing these payments. Most of our revenues are derived from volume-based payment processing fees (“discount fees”) and other related fixed per transaction fees. Discount fees represent a percentage of the dollar amount of each credit or debit transaction processed and include fees relating to processing and services that we provide. The transaction price for such processing services is determined, based on the judgment of management, considering factors such as margin objectives, pricing practices and controls, client segment pricing strategies, the product life cycle and the observable price of the service charged to similarly situated clients. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our chargeback rate was less than 1% of our card payment volume.
Expenses
Costs of services. Costs of services primarily include commissions to our software integration partners and other third-party processing costs, such as front and back-end processing costs and sponsor bank fees.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries, share-based compensation and other employment costs, professional service fees, rent and utilities, and other operating costs.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense consists of depreciation on our investments in property, equipment and computer hardware. Depreciation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Amortization expense for software development costs and purchased software is recognized on the straight-line method over a three-year estimated useful life, between eight to ten years estimated useful life for client relationships and channel relationships, and between two to five years estimated useful life for non-compete agreements.
Interest income. Interest income consists of interest received on our cash and cash equivalents.
Interest expense. Interest expense consists of interest paid in respect of our indebtedness under the convertible senior notes and amortization of deferred debt issuance costs.
Change in fair value of tax receivable liability. This amount represents the change in fair value of the tax receivable agreement liability. The TRA liability is carried at fair value; so, any change to the valuation of this liability is recognized through this line in other expense. The change in fair value can result from the redemption or exchange of Post-Merger Repay Units for Class A common stock of Repay Holdings Corporation, through accretion of the discounted fair value of the expected future cash payments, or changes to the discount rate, or Early Termination Rate, used to determine the fair value of the liability.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2024
Total revenue was $77.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and $79.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $1.4 million or 1.8%. This decrease was due to impacts from previously announced client losses and political media spending in the third quarter of 2024 associated with the 2024 election cycle in our media payments business, partially offset from newly signed clients and the growth of our existing clients.
Cost of Services
Costs of services were $19.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and $17.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $2.4 million or 13.6%. This increase was the result of newly signed clients and the growth of our existing clients, partially offset from impacts of previously announced client losses and political media spending in the third quarter of 2024 associated with the 2024 election cycle in our media payments business.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $35.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and $36.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $1.5 million or 4.1%, primarily due to a $1.0 million decrease in equity compensation expenses and a $0.9 million decrease in compensation expenses, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in accounting expenses.
25
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $25.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and $25.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $0.1 million or 0.4%, primarily driven by an increase in amortization in software.
Interest Income
Interest income was $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, due to lower average interest rates earned on our cash and cash equivalents.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, due to a higher outstanding principal balance under the convertible senior notes.
Gain on debt extinguishment
We incurred a gain of $1.4 million and $13.1 million on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, due to the repurchase of 2026 Notes principal, net of a write-off of debt issuance costs relating to the repurchased principal.
Change in Fair Value of Tax Receivable Liability
We incurred a loss, related to accretion expense and fair value adjustment of the tax receivable liability, of $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a $6.5 million loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $1.9 million. This decrease was due to lower fair value adjustments related to the tax receivable liability, primarily as a result of accretion and changes to the discount rate, or Early Termination Rate, used to determine the fair value of the liability.
Income Tax Benefit and Expense
Income tax benefit was $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This was a result of the operating loss incurred by us, primarily driven by the change in fair value of the tax receivable liability, stock-based compensation deductions and the amortization of assets acquired in the Business Combination and prior acquisitions, partially offset by stock-based compensation expense net tax shortfall and the impact related to cancellation of debt income and write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the partial repurchase of the 2026 Notes, which are required to be recorded discretely in the interim period in which they occur. The income tax expense was $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, which was a result of the operating loss incurred by us, primarily driven by the change in fair value of the tax receivable liability, stock-based compensation deductions and the amortization of assets acquired in the Business Combination and prior acquisitions, offset by stock-based compensation expense net tax shortfall and impact related to cancellation of debt income and write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the partial repurchase of the 2026 Notes, which are required to be recorded discretely in the interim period in which they occur.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
Total revenue was $230.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $234.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $4.1 million or 1.7%. This decrease was the result of impacts of previously announced client losses and political media spending in the first nine months of 2024 associated with the 2024 election cycle in our media payments business, partially offset from newly signed clients and the growth of our existing clients.
Costs of services were $57.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $53.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $3.9 million or 7.3%. This increase was the result of newly signed
26
clients and the growth of our existing clients, partially offset from impacts of previously announced client losses and political media spending in the first nine months of 2024 associated with the 2024 election cycle in our media payments business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $105.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $109.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $4.0 million or 3.7%, primarily due to a $4.6 million decrease in equity compensation expenses and a $0.3 million decrease in software and technology expenses, partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in accounting expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $76.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $79.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $2.9 million or 3.7%, primarily driven by a reduction in amortization in software.
We incurred a non-cash impairment loss of $103.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to a $103.2 million goodwill impairment loss related to the Consumer Payments segment. The fair value of the Consumer Payments reporting unit was primarily impacted by a change in the discount rate and the decrease to comparable publicly traded companies’ multiples.
Interest income was $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to lower average interest rates earned on our cash and cash equivalents.
Interest expense was $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to a higher outstanding principal balance under the convertible senior notes.
We incurred a gain of $1.4 million and $13.1 million on extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively, due to the repurchase of 2026 Notes principal, net of a write-off of debt issuance costs relating to the repurchased principal.
We incurred a loss, related to accretion expense and fair value adjustment of the tax receivable liability of $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a $12.8 million net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $2.7 million. This decrease was due to lower fair value adjustments related to the tax receivable liability, primarily as a result of accretion and changes to the discount rate, or Early Termination Rate, used to determine the fair value of the liability.
Income Tax Benefit
Income tax benefit was $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This was a result of the operating loss incurred by us, primarily driven by the change in fair value of the tax receivable liability, stock-based compensation deductions and the amortization of assets acquired in the Business Combination and prior acquisitions, partially offset by stock-based compensation expense net tax shortfall, the impact of the recording of the non-cash impairment loss, and the impact related to cancellation of debt income and write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the partial repurchase of the 2026 Notes, which are required to be recorded discretely in the interim period in which they occur. The income tax benefit was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which was a result of the operating loss incurred by us, primarily driven by the change in fair value of the tax receivable liability,
27
stock-based compensation deductions and the amortization of assets acquired in the Business Combination and prior acquisitions, offset by stock-based compensation expense net tax shortfall, the state rate change impact on deferred taxes and the impact related to cancellation of debt income and write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the partial repurchase of the 2026 Notes, which are required to be recorded discretely in the interim period in which they occur.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to evaluate our operating business, measure our performance and make strategic decisions.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income prior to interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to add back certain charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as gain on extinguishment of debt, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities, share-based compensation charges, transaction expenses, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs and other non-recurring charges.
Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income prior to amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, as adjusted to add back certain charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as gain on extinguishment of debt, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities, share-based compensation expense, transaction expenses, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs, other non-recurring charges, non-cash interest expense and net of tax effect associated with these adjustments. Adjusted Net Income is adjusted to exclude amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Management believes that the adjustment of acquisition-related intangible amortization supplements GAAP financial measures because it allows for greater comparability of operating performance. Although we exclude amortization from acquisition-related intangibles from our non-GAAP expenses, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangibles were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.
Adjusted Net Income per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of the outstanding Post-Merger Repay Units) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (excluding shares subject to forfeiture).
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as management. However, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating profit or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Using these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze our business has material limitations because the calculations are based on the subjective determination of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find significant. In addition, although other companies in our industry may report measures titled Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share or similar measures, such non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from how we calculate our non-GAAP financial measures, which reduces their overall usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
The following tables set forth a reconciliation of our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $31.2 million and $35.1 million, respectively, representing a 11.1% year-over-year decrease. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $96.2 million and $104.3 million, respectively, representing a 7.8% year-over-year decrease.
Adjusted Net Income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $18.2 million and $21.2 million, respectively, representing a 14.1% year-over-year decrease. Adjusted Net Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $57.6 million and $65.4 million, respectively, representing a 11.9% year-over-year decrease.
35
Net income (loss) attributable to the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was ($6.4) million and $3.2 million, respectively. Net loss attributable to the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $116.6 million and $6.0 million, respectively.
The decreases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income and increase in net loss attributable to the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were primarily due to the organic growth of our business from newly signed clients, the growth of existing clients and cost savings initiatives being more than offset from impacts from previously announced client losses and political media spending in the first nine months of 2024 associated with the 2024 election cycle in our media payments business. In addition, the increase in net loss attributable to the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were impacted by the goodwill impairment loss.
Seasonality
We have experienced in the past, and may continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in our revenues as a result of consumer spending and political media spending patterns. Revenues during the first quarter of the calendar year tend to increase in comparison to the remaining three quarters of the calendar year. This increase is due to consumers’ receipt of tax refunds and the increases in repayment activity levels that follow. In addition, Business Payments revenue from clients in our media payments business is cyclical. Revenue connected to political advertising spending increases significantly during the third and fourth quarter of election years, such as the mid-term and presidential election cycles. Operating expenses show less seasonal fluctuation, with the result that net income is subject to the similar seasonal factors as our revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations and working capital through net cash from operating activities. As of September 30, 2025, we had $95.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity of $250.0 million under the Second Amended Credit Agreement. This balance does not include restricted cash, which reflects cash accounts holding reserves for potential losses and client settlement funds of $46.2 million as of September 30, 2025. Our primary cash needs are to fund working capital requirements, invest in technology development, fund acquisitions and related contingent consideration, make principal payments and interest payments on, refinance or repurchase our outstanding indebtedness, repurchase stock under our Share Repurchase Program, and pay tax distributions to members of Hawk Parent. We expect that our cash flow from operations, current cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund our operations and planned capital expenditures and to service our debt obligations for the next twelve months and the following five years.
We are a holding company with no operations and depend on our subsidiaries for cash to fund all of our consolidated operations, including future dividend payments, if any. We depend on the payment of distributions by our current subsidiaries, including Hawk Parent, which distributions may be restricted by law or contractual agreements, including agreements governing their indebtedness. For a discussion of those considerations and restrictions, refer to Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Class A Common Stock” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
On May 16, 2022, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $50 million of our outstanding Class A common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). On May 8, 2025, our board of directors approved the increase of its authorized Share Repurchase Program to up to $75 million. The Share Repurchase Program has no expiration date but may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased approximately 3.1 million shares for $15.6 million. As of September 30, 2025, we have $23.0 million remaining capacity under the Share Repurchase Program.
The following table presents a summary of cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated:
Net cash used in activities
36
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $67.8 million and $115.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which reflects net income as adjusted for non-cash operating items including depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and changes in working capital accounts.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $32.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, due to the capitalization of software development activities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $34.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to the capitalization of software development activities.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $130.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, due to the repayments of the 2026 Notes, treasury shares repurchase, shares repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program, a payment under the TRA and the payments for tax withholding related to shares vesting under the Incentive Plan and ESPP.
Net cash used in financing activities was $10.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to the repayments of the 2026 Notes, shares repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program and purchase of capped calls related to issuance of the 2029 Notes, offset partially by proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Notes.
Indebtedness
On July 10, 2024, we entered into the Second Amended Credit Agreement with certain financial institutions, as lenders, and Truist Bank, as administrative agent. The Second Amended Credit Agreement establishes a $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. This facility matures on the earlier of (a) July 10, 2029, (b) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the 2026 Notes (subject to certain exceptions for adequate liquidity) and (c) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the 2029 Notes (subject to certain exceptions for adequate liquidity). The maturity date may be extended, subject to certain terms and conditions.
As of September 30, 2025, the Second Amended Credit Agreement provided for a revolving credit facility of $250.0 million. As of September 30, 2025, we had $0 million drawn against the revolving credit facility. We paid $0.2 million and $0.5 million in fees related to unused commitments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. We paid $0.2 million and $0.4 million in fees related to unused commitments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
On January 19, 2021, we issued $440.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of such 2026 Notes were sold in the 2026 Notes offering in connection with the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase such additional 2026 Notes pursuant to the purchase agreement. Upon conversion, we may choose to pay or deliver cash, shares of our Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our Class A common stock. The 2026 Notes will mature on February 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, repurchased or redeemed. On July 8, 2024, we used approximately $200.0 million of proceeds from the offering of 2029 Notes and approximately $5.1 million of cash on hand to repurchase $220.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes in connection with the 2029 Notes offering. On August 22, 2025, we repurchased $73.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes.
On July 8, 2024, we issued $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant
to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. $27.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes were sold in connection with the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase such additional 2029 Notes offering pursuant to the purchase agreement. We will settle conversions of the 2029 Notes by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be converted and cash, shares of Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares, at our election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes being converted. The 2029 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.875% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2025. The 2029 Notes will mature on July 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms.
As of September 30, 2025, we had convertible senior notes outstanding of $279.5 million, net of deferred issuance costs, under the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes. We were in compliance with the related restrictive covenants. Additionally, we currently expect that we will remain in compliance with the restrictive covenants under the 2026 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the Second Amended Credit Agreement, prospectively.
Upon the completion of the Business Combination, we entered into the TRA with holders of Post-Merger Repay Units. As a result of the TRA, we established a liability in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Such liability, which will increase upon the redemptions or exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units for our Class A common stock, generally represents 100% of the estimated future tax benefit, if any, relating to the increase in tax basis that will result from redemptions or exchanges of the Post-Merger Repay Units for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and certain other tax attributes of the Company and tax benefits of entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the TRA.
Under the terms of the TRA, we may elect to terminate the TRA early but will be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future cash tax savings. As a result, the associated liability reported on our condensed consolidated financial statements may be increased. We expect that the payment obligations required under the TRA will be substantial. The actual increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of redemptions or exchanges by the holders of Post-Merger Repay Units, the price of our Class A common stock at the time of the redemption or exchange, whether such redemptions or exchanges are taxable, the amount and timing of the taxable income we generate in the future, the tax rate then applicable and the portion of our payments under the TRA constituting imputed interest. We expect to fund the payment of the amounts due under the TRA out of the cash savings that we actually realize in respect of the attributes to which TRA relates. However, the payments required to be made could be in excess of the actual tax benefits that we realize and there can be no assurance that we will be able to finance our obligations under the TRA.
Critical Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and critical accounting estimates for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for a complete discussion of critical accounting policies and critical accounting estimates.
For information related to recent accounting pronouncements and the impact of these pronouncements on our condensed consolidated financial statements, see Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
38
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Effects of Inflation
While inflation may impact our revenues and cost of services, we believe the effects of inflation, if any, on our results of operations and financial condition have not been significant. However, there can be no assurance that our results of operations and financial condition will not be materially impacted by inflation in the future.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including U.S. fiscal and monetary policies and domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors beyond our control. Interest rate risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in the level of interest rates and the spread between different interest rates. We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on debt, which bears interest at variable rates. Our revolving credit facility under the Second Amended Credit Agreement has floating interest rates. We are exposed to changes in the level of interest rates and to changes in the relationship or spread between interest rates for its floating rate debt. Our floating rate debt requires payments based on variable interest rates such as the federal funds rate, prime rate, eurocurrency rate, and SOFR. Therefore, increases in interest rates may reduce our net income or loss by increasing the cost of debt. As of September 30, 2025, we had convertible senior notes of $279.5 million, net of deferred issuance costs outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, we had convertible senior notes of $496.8 million, net of deferred issuance costs, outstanding. The borrowings under the Second Amended Credit Agreement accrue interest at either base rate, described above under “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness,” plus a margin of 0.75% to 1.75% or at an adjusted SOFR rate plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.75% under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, in each case depending on the total net leverage ratio, as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement.
We may incur additional borrowings from time to time for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Invoices for our services are denominated in U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars. We do not expect our future operating results to be significantly affected by foreign currency exchange rate risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
40
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time we are named as a defendant in legal actions arising from our normal business activities. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of lawsuits, investigations and claims asserted against us, we do not believe any currently pending legal proceeding to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
