NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. GENERAL

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results have been included. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Financial Statements”) should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”), contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (our “2023 10-K”), filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the entire year ending December 31, 2024.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements. The preparation of our Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of our Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue. The majority of our future revenue is related to our customer contracts for our SaaS and related solutions that include variable consideration dependent upon a series of monthly volumes and/or daily usage of services and have contractual terms ending from 2024 through 2036. Our customer contracts may include guaranteed minimums and fixed monthly or annual fees. As of June 30, 2024, our aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations was approximately $1.4 billion, which is made up of fixed fee consideration and guaranteed minimums expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied). We expect to recognize approximately 75% of this amount by the end of 2026, with the remaining amount recognized by the end of 2036. We have excluded from this amount variable consideration expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied.

The nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of our revenue and how revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors is most appropriately depicted by revenue type, geographic region, and customer vertical.

Revenue by type for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows (in thousands):


	Quarter Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023		June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023
SaaS and related solutions	$	262,658	$	255,600	$	524,353	$	513,476
Software and services		14,681		18,766		37,075		49,657
Maintenance		12,979		11,961		24,025		21,933
Total revenue	$	290,318	$	286,327	$	585,453	$	585,066

We use the location of the customer as the basis of attributing revenue to geographic regions. Revenue by geographic region for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as a percentage of our total revenue, was as follows:


	Quarter Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2024			June 30, 2023			June 30, 2024			June 30, 2023
Americas (principally the U.S.)		89	%		87	%		87	%		85	%
Europe, Middle East, and Africa		6	%		9	%		8	%		11	%
Asia Pacific		5	%		4	%		5	%		4	%
Total revenue		100	%		100	%		100	%		100	%

We generate our revenue primarily from the global communications markets; however, we serve an expanding group of customers in other markets including retail, financial services, healthcare, insurance, and government entities. Revenue by customer vertical for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as a percentage of our total revenue, was as follows:


	Quarter Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2024			June 30, 2023			June 30, 2024			June 30, 2023
Broadband/Cable/Satellite		53	%		54	%		52	%		53	%
Telecommunications		16	%		18	%		17	%		19	%
Other		31	%		28	%		31	%		28	%
Total revenue		100	%		100	%		100	%		100	%

Deferred revenue recognized during the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $10.7 million and $11.3 million, respectively. Deferred revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $29.8 million and $31.5 million, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as of the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our cash equivalents consist primarily of institutional money market funds and time deposits held at major banks. For the cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies and/or located outside the U.S., we do not anticipate any material amounts being unavailable for use in running our business, but may face limitations on moving cash out of certain foreign jurisdictions due to currency controls and potential negative economic consequences.

Restricted Cash. Restricted cash includes cash that is legally or contractually restricted, as well as our settlement and merchant reserve assets (discussed below). The nature of the restrictions on our settlement and merchant reserve assets consists of contractual restrictions with the merchants and restrictions arising from our policy and intention. It has historically been our policy to segregate settlement and merchant reserve assets from our operating cash balances and our intention is to continue to do so. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $3.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of restricted cash that mainly serves to collateralize bank and performance guarantees included in other current and non-current assets in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (“Balance Sheets” or “Balance Sheet”).

Settlement and Merchant Reserve Assets and Liabilities. Settlement assets and settlement liabilities represent cash collected on behalf of merchants via payments processing services which is held for an established holding period until settlement with the customer. The holding period is generally one to four business days depending on the payment model and contractual terms with the customer. During the holding period, cash is subject to restriction and segregation based on the nature of our custodial relationship with the merchants. Should we fail to remit these funds to our merchants, the merchant's sole recourse for payment would be against us. These rights and obligations are set forth in the contracts between us and the merchants. Settlement assets are held with various major financial institutions and a corresponding liability is recorded for the amounts owed to the customer. At any given time, there may be differences between the cash held and the corresponding liability due to the timing of operating-related cash transfers.

Merchant reserve assets/liabilities represent deposits collected from merchants to mitigate our risk of loss due to nonperformance of settlement obligations initiated by those merchants using our payments processing services, or non-payment by customers for services rendered by us. We perform a credit risk evaluation on each customer based on multiple criteria, which provides the basis for the deposit amount required for each merchant. For the duration of our relationship with each merchant, we hold their reserve deposits with major financial institutions. We hold these funds in separate accounts, which are offset by corresponding liabilities.

The following table summarizes our settlement and merchant reserve assets and liabilities as of the indicated periods (in thousands):


	June 30, 2024				December 31, 2023
	Assets		Liabilities		Assets		Liabilities
Settlement assets/liabilities	$	216,485	$	214,067	$	260,712	$	259,825
Merchant reserve assets/liabilities		15,569		15,569		13,987		13,992
Total	$	232,054	$	229,636	$	274,699	$	273,817

Financial Instruments. Our financial instruments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 include cash and cash equivalents, settlement and merchant reserve assets and liabilities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and debt. Due to their short maturities, the carrying amounts of cash equivalents, settlement and merchant reserve assets and liabilities, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair value.

We have chosen not to record our debt at fair value, with changes recognized in earnings each reporting period. The following table indicates the carrying value and estimated fair value of our debt as of the indicated periods (in thousands):


	June 30, 2024				December 31, 2023
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
2023 Convertible Notes (par value)	$	425,000	$	396,483	$	425,000	$	428,506
2021 Credit Agreement (carrying value including current maturities)		129,375		129,375		133,125		133,125

The fair value of our convertible notes was estimated based upon quoted market prices or recent sales activity, while the fair value of our credit agreement was estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology, both of which are considered Level 2 inputs. See Note 4 for a discussion regarding our debt.

Pillar Two. Numerous foreign jurisdictions have enacted, or are in the process of enacting, legislation to adopt a minimum effective tax rate. Pillar Two, which was established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), generally provides for a 15% minimum effective tax rate for multinational enterprises in every jurisdiction in which they operate. The U.S. has not yet adopted Pillar Two, however, various other governments around the world have. These rules did not have a material impact on our taxes for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024. We continue to monitor evolving tax legislation in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Effective. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), (“ASU 2023-07”), which enhances reportable segment disclosure requirements in part by requiring entities to disclose significant expenses related to their reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 also requires disclosure of the title and position of the company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and how the CODM uses financial reporting to assess segment performance and allocate resources. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are in the process of evaluating what impact this ASU will have on our Financial Statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires entities to disclose more detailed information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are in the process of evaluating what impact this ASU will have on our Financial Statements and disclosures.

Long-term debt, net of unamortized discounts	$	532,982		$	534,997

2023 Convertible Notes. The 2023 Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the noteholders before June 15, 2028, upon the occurrence of certain events. On or after June 15, 2028, and until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding September 15, 2028, the maturity date, noteholders may convert all or any portion of their notes at any time regardless of these conditions.

The 2023 Convertible Notes will be convertible at an initial conversion rate of 14.0753 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2023 Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $71.05 per share of our common stock, plus carryforward adjustments not yet effected pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2023 Convertible Notes. Under the terms of the 2023 Convertible Notes, we will adjust the conversion rate for any quarterly dividends exceeding $0.28 per share.

We are required to satisfy our conversion obligation as follows: (i) paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of notes to be converted; and (ii) to the extent the value of our conversion obligation exceeds the par value, we will satisfy the remaining conversion obligation in our common stock, cash, or a combination thereof, at our election. As of June 30, 2024, none of the conditions to early convert have been met.

We may not redeem the 2023 Convertible Notes prior to September 21, 2026. On or after September 21, 2026, we may redeem for cash all or part of the 2023 Convertible Notes, subject to a partial redemption limitation that requires at least $100.0 million of the principal amount of the 2023 Convertible Notes to remain outstanding if the last reported sales price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption. The redemption price will equal the principal amount of the 2023 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund has been established for the 2023 Convertible Notes.

In connection with the pricing of the 2023 Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain of the initial purchasers of the 2023 Convertible Notes and other financial institutions (collectively, the “Option Counterparties”). As of June 30, 2024, all the Capped Call Transactions were outstanding and cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2023 Convertible Notes, 5.98 million shares of our common stock, the same number of shares of common stock underlying the 2023 Convertible Notes. The Capped Call Transactions will expire upon the maturity of the 2023 Convertible Notes.

2021 Credit Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we made $3.8 million of principal repayments on our $150.0 million aggregate principal five-year term loan (the “2021 Term Loan”). As of June 30, 2024, we had no borrowings outstanding on our $450.0 million aggregate principal five-year revolving loan facility (the "2021 Revolver"), and had issued standby letters of credit of $1.5 million that count against our available 2021 Revolver balance, leaving $448.5 million available to us.

As of June 30, 2024, our interest rate on the 2021 Term Loan was 6.810% (adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, plus 1.375% per annum), effective through September 2024, and our commitment fee on the 2021 Revolver was 0.15%.

The interest rates under the 2021 Credit Agreement are based upon our choice of an adjusted SOFR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.375% - 2.125%, or an alternate base rate (“ABR”) plus an applicable margin of 0.375% - 1.125%, with the applicable margin determined in accordance with our then-net secured total leverage ratio. We pay a commitment fee of 0.150% - 0.325% of the average daily unused amount of the 2021 Revolver, with the commitment fee rate also determined in accordance with our then-net secured total leverage ratio.

Other. We finance certain of our internal use software. During the second quarter of 2024, we entered into an additional financing agreement at a total cost of $8.4 million with payments through 2027. As a result, as of June 30, 2024, we had $9.0 million outstanding under these agreements, of which $3.2 million was included in other current liabilities and $5.8 million was included in other noncurrent liabilities in our Balance Sheet. These arrangements are treated as a non-cash investing and financing activity for purposes of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows ("Statements of Cash Flows").

5. ACQUISITIONS

Prior Years Acquisition. On October 4, 2021, we acquired DGIT Systems Pty Ltd (“DGIT”), a provider of configure, price and quote (CPQ), and order management solutions for the telecommunications industry. We acquired 100% of the equity of DGIT for a purchase price of approximately $16 million, approximately $14 million paid upon close and the remaining consideration of approximately $2 million to be paid through 2025, subject to certain reductions, as applicable. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we made deferred purchase price payments of $0.5 million.

The DGIT acquisition includes provisions for up to approximately $13 million of potential future earn-out payments. The earn-out payments are tied to performance-based goals and a defined service period and are accounted for as post-acquisition compensation, as applicable. The earn-out period is through September 30, 2025.

Current Year Acquisitions. On April 1, 2024, we acquired a customer communication services business that operates in multiple industry verticals. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred was $15.0 million, which consisted of $11.5 million in cash paid upfront and a non-cash settlement of working capital items of $3.5 million. The results of this acquisition are included in our results of operations for the period subsequent to the acquisition date.

The preliminary estimated fair values of assets acquired primarily include goodwill of $6.4 million, acquired customer contracts of $4.3 million, trade accounts receivable of $2.1 million, and liabilities assumed of $2.7 million. The estimated fair values are considered provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date. The provisional measurements of fair value are subject to change, however, such changes are not expected to be significant. We expect to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date. The amount allocated to goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

On June 3, 2024, we acquired 100% of the equity of iCheckGateway.com, LLC (“iCG Pay”), an ACH and credit card payment processing company. We acquired iCG Pay to further expand the industry verticals we serve and to provide opportunities for the continued growth of our business. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred was $17.6 million in cash paid, subject to customary working capital adjustments.

The iCG Pay acquisition includes provisions for up to $15.0 million of potential future earn-out payments. The earn-out payments are tied to performance-based goals and a defined service period and are accounted for as post-acquisition compensation, as applicable. The earn-out period is through June 3, 2027. As of June 30, 2024, we accrued $0.9 million related to the potential earn-out payments. The results of iCG Pay are included in our results of operations for the period subsequent to the acquisition date.

The preliminary estimated fair values of assets acquired primarily include settlement assets of $45.9 million, acquired customer contracts of $11.8 million, goodwill of $3.8 million, and settlement liabilities assumed of $44.7 million. The estimated fair values are considered provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date. The provisional measurements of fair value are subject to change, however, such changes are not expected to be significant. We expect to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date. The amount allocated to goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

The cash paid for the acquisitions discussed above, less cash and settlement assets acquired, resulted in net cash provided by business combinations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $17.3 million on our Statement of Cash Flows.

6. RESTRUCTURING AND REORGANIZATION CHARGES

During the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, we recorded restructuring and reorganization charges of $7.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded restructuring and reorganization charges of $9.1 million and $7.3 million, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we reduced our global workforce by over 200 employees, mainly in the U.S., as part of initiatives to better align and allocate resources to areas of the business where we have identified growth opportunities. As a result, we incurred restructuring charges related to involuntary terminations of $7.4 million.

The activity in the restructuring and reorganization reserves during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was as follows (in thousands):


	Termination Benefits			Other			Total
January 1, 2024, balance	$	1,434		$	8,100		$	9,534
Charged to expense during period		7,385			1,712			9,097
Cash payments		(7,050	)		(6,856	)		(13,906	)
Adjustment for accelerated depreciation		-			(436	)		(436	)
Other		802			-			802
June 30, 2024, balance	$	2,571		$	2,520		$	5,091

As of June 30, 2024, $3.8 million of the restructuring and reorganization reserves were included in current liabilities.

7. COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES

Guarantees. In the ordinary course of business, we may provide guarantees in the form of bid bonds or performance bonds. As of June 30, 2024, we had $3.1 million of restricted assets used to collateralize these guarantees, with $0.9 million included in other current assets and $2.2 million included in other non-current assets.

We have performance guarantees in the form of surety bonds and standby letters of credit, along with money transmitter bonds, issued through third-parties that are not required to be reflected on our Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2024, we had performance guarantees of $7.3 million, which includes $1.5 million in standby letters of credit and $1.0 million in bid bonds. We are ultimately liable for claims that may occur against these guarantees. We have no history of material claims or are aware of circumstances that would require us to pay under any of these arrangements. We also believe that the resolution of any claim that may arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not be material to our Financial Statements. As of June 30, 2024, we had total aggregate money transmitter bonds of $19.6 million outstanding. These money transmitter bonds are for the benefit of various states to comply with the states’ financial requirements and industry regulations for money transmitter licenses.

Warranties. We generally warrant that our solutions and related offerings will conform to published specifications, or to specifications provided in an individual customer arrangement, as applicable. The typical warranty period is 90 days from the date of acceptance of the solution or offering. For certain service offerings we provide a warranty for the duration of the services provided. We generally warrant that those services will be performed in a professional and skillful manner. The typical remedy for breach of warranty is to correct or replace any defective deliverable, and if not possible or practical, we will accept the return of the defective deliverable and refund the amount paid under the customer arrangement that is allocable to the defective deliverable. Our contracts also generally contain limitation of damages provisions in an effort to reduce our exposure to monetary damages arising from breach of warranty claims. Historically, we have incurred minimal warranty costs, and as a result, do not maintain a warranty reserve.

Solution and Services Indemnifications. Arrangements with our customers generally include an indemnification provision that will indemnify and defend a customer in actions brought against the customer that claim our products and/or services infringe upon a copyright, trade secret, or valid patent. Historically, we have not incurred any significant costs related to such indemnification claims, and as a result, do not maintain a reserve for such exposure.

Claims for Company Non-performance. Our arrangements with our customers typically limit our liability for breach to a specified amount of the direct damages incurred by the customer resulting from the breach. From time-to-time, these arrangements may also include provisions for possible liquidated damages or other financial remedies for our non-performance, or in the case of certain of our solutions, provisions for damages related to service level performance requirements. The service level performance requirements typically relate to system availability and timeliness of service delivery. As of June 30, 2024, we believe we have adequate reserves, based on our historical experience, to cover any reasonably anticipated exposure as a result of our nonperformance for any past or current arrangements with our customers.

Indemnifications Related to Officers and the Board of Directors. Other guarantees include promises to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless our directors, and certain officers. Such indemnification covers any expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred by a person, by reason of the fact that such person is, was, or has agreed to be a director or officer, in connection with the investigation, defense, and settlement of any threatened, pending, or contemplated action, suit, proceeding, or claim. We maintain directors’ and officers’ (“D&O”) insurance coverage to protect against such losses. We have not historically incurred any losses related to these types of indemnifications and are not aware of any pending or threatened actions or claims against any officer or member of our Board of Directors (the "Board"). As a result, we have not recorded any liabilities related to such indemnifications as of June 30, 2024. In addition, as a result of the insurance policy coverage, we believe these indemnification agreements are not significant to our results of operations.

Legal Proceedings. From time to time, we are involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business.

8. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) amounts are presented on the face of our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (the "Income Statements").

The reconciliation of the basic and diluted EPS denominators related to common shares is included in the following table (in thousands):


	Quarter Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023		June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023
Basic weighted-average common shares		28,546		30,629		28,531		30,524
Dilutive effect of restricted common stock		54		97		167	144
Diluted weighted-average common shares		28,600		30,726		28,698		30,668

The dilutive effect of restricted common stock is computed using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of the 2023 Convertible Notes is computed using the if-converted method and will only have an effect in those quarterly periods in which our average stock price exceeds the current effective conversion price.

Potentially dilutive common shares related to non-participating unvested restricted stock and stock warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS, as the effect was anti-dilutive, and were not material in any period presented.

9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

Stock Repurchase Program. We currently have a stock repurchase program, approved by our Board, authorizing us to repurchase shares of our common stock from time-to-time as market and business conditions warrant (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). During the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased approximately 219,000 shares of our common stock for $9.7 million (weighted-average price of $44.32 per share), and approximately 404,000 shares of our common stock for $19.3 million (weighted-average price of $47.82 per share), respectively, under a SEC Rule 10b5-1 Plan. We did not make any share repurchases during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023.

The excise tax imposed as part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, which is included as a cost of treasury stock, is not reflected in the share repurchase amounts above.

As of June 30, 2024, the total remaining value of shares available for repurchase under the Stock Repurchase Program totaled $76.5 million. In August 2024, our Board authorized an additional $100.0 million of repurchases under the Stock Repurchase Program in addition to the $76.5 million that remained as of June 30, 2024, with the combined total now authorized for repurchase through December 31, 2025.

Stock Repurchases for Tax Withholdings. In addition to the above-mentioned stock repurchases, during the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, we repurchased and then cancelled approximately 9,000 shares of common stock for $0.4 million and approximately 2,000 shares of common stock for $0.1 million, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we repurchased and then cancelled approximately 168,000 shares of common stock for $8.9 million and approximately 168,000 shares of common stock for $9.4 million, respectively, in connection with minimum tax withholding requirements resulting from the vesting of restricted common stock under our stock incentive plan.

Cash Dividends. During the second quarter of 2024, our Board approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share of common stock, totaling $8.8 million. During the second quarter of 2023, our Board approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.28 per share of common stock, totaling $8.9 million. Dividends declared for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 totaled $17.6 million and $17.7 million, respectively.

Warrants. In July 2014, in conjunction with the execution of an amendment to our agreement with Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”), we issued stock warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”) for the right to purchase up to 2.9 million shares of our common stock (the “Stock Warrants”) with an exercise price of $26.68 per warrant as an additional incentive for Comcast to convert customer accounts onto our solutions based on various milestones. As of June 30, 2024, 1.0 million Stock Warrants remained issued and unvested. The Stock Warrants had a ten-year term and expired in July 2024.

Stock-Based Awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 we granted restricted stock awards to key members of management in the form of: (i) performance-based awards of approximately 155,000 restricted common stock shares, which vest in the first quarter of 2026 upon meeting certain pre-established financial performance objectives over a two-year performance period; and (ii) market-based awards of approximately 52,000 restricted common stock shares, which vest in the first quarter of 2027 upon meeting a relative total shareholder return performance achievement tier. Certain of these awards may vest (i.e., vesting accelerates) upon the involuntary termination of employment or a change in control (as defined) and the subsequent involuntary termination of employment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we also granted restricted stock awards to key members of management in the form of time-based awards of approximately 473,000 restricted common stock shares, which vest annually over three years with no restrictions other than the passage of time. Certain of these awards may vest (i.e., vesting accelerates) upon the involuntary termination of employment, a change in control (as defined) and the subsequent involuntary termination of employment, or death.

We recorded stock-based compensation expense for the second quarters of 2024 and 2023 of $8.6 million and $7.6 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 of $16.4 million and $14.1 million, respectively.

Management Overview of Quarterly Results

Second Quarter Highlights. A summary of our results of operations for the second quarter of 2024, when compared to the second quarter of 2023, is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts and percentages):


	Quarter Ended
	June 30, 2024			June 30, 2023
Revenue	$	290,318		$	286,327
Transaction fees (1)		24,207			21,176
Operating Results:
Operating income	$	25,420		$	28,206
Operating margin percentage		8.8	%		9.9	%
Diluted EPS	$	0.48		$	0.45
Supplemental Data:
Restructuring and reorganization charges (2)	$	7,099		$	2,075
Acquisition-related costs:
Amortization of acquired intangible assets		3,393			2,998
Transaction-related costs		1,036			2,004
Stock-based compensation (2)		9,193			7,667

(1)

Transaction fees are primarily comprised of fees paid to third-party payment processors and financial institutions and interchange fees under our payment services contracts. Transaction fees are included in revenue in our Income Statement (and not netted against revenue) because we maintain control and act as the principal over the integrated service provided under our payment services customer contracts.

(2)

Restructuring and reorganization charges include stock-based compensation, which is not included in the stock-based compensation line in the table above, and depreciation, which has not been recorded to the depreciation line on our Income Statement.

Revenue. Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $290.3 million, a 1.4% increase when compared to revenue of $286.3 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in revenue is primarily attributed to continued growth of our SaaS and related solutions revenue in addition to the revenue generated from the acquired businesses, which offset lower software and services revenue for the quarter.

Operating Results. Operating income for the second quarter of 2024 was $25.4 million, or an 8.8% operating margin percentage, compared to $28.2 million, or a 9.9% operating margin percentage for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in operating income is mainly attributed to the $5.0 million increase in restructuring and reorganization charges in the second quarter of 2024 related to a reduction in our global workforce. This workforce reduction is part of an initiative to better align and allocate our resources in areas of the business with growth opportunities.

Diluted EPS. Diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2024 was $0.48 compared to $0.45 for the second quarter of 2023, with the second quarter of 2024 benefiting primarily from a lower share count.

Cash and Cash Flows. As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $110.4 million, as compared to $120.8 million as of March 31, 2024 and $186.3 million as of December 31, 2023. Our cash flows provided by operating activities for the second quarter of 2024 were $43.1 million. See the Liquidity section below for further discussion of our cash flows.

Significant Customer Relationships

A large percentage of our revenue is generated from a limited number of customers in the global communications industry, with our three largest customers being Charter Communications Inc. (“Charter”), Comcast, and DISH Network L.L.C.

Customer Concentration. We have significant customer concentration, with the following two customers exceeding 10% of our revenue (in thousands, except percentages):


	Quarter Ended
	June 30, 2024					March 31, 2024					June 30, 2023
	Amount		% of Revenue			Amount		% of Revenue			Amount		% of Revenue
Charter	$	60,629		21	%	$	60,849		21	%	$	60,175		21	%
Comcast		54,576		19	%		52,804		18	%		53,757		19	%

The percentages of net billed accounts receivable balances attributable to these customers as of the indicated dates were as follows:


	As of
	June 30, 2024			March 31, 2024			December 31, 2023
Charter		22	%		21	%		23	%
Comcast		18	%		18	%		17	%

See our 2023 10-K for additional discussion of our business relationships and contractual terms with Charter and Comcast.

Risk of Customer Concentration. We expect to continue to generate a large percentage of our future revenue from a limited number of customers. There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of total revenue is concentrated with a limited number of customers. Should a significant customer: (i) terminate or fail to renew their contracts with us, in whole or in part, for any reason; (ii) significantly reduce the number of customer accounts processed on our solutions, the price paid for our services, or the scope of services that we provide; or (iii) experience financial or operating difficulties, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to select appropriate accounting policies, and to make judgments and estimates affecting the application of those accounting policies. In applying our accounting policies, different business conditions or the use of different assumptions may result in materially different amounts reported in our Financial Statements.

We have identified the most critical accounting policies that affect our financial position and the results of our operations. Those critical accounting policies were determined by considering the accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. The most critical accounting policies identified relate to the following items: (i) revenue recognition; (ii) impairment assessments of long-lived assets; (iii) income taxes; and (iv) loss contingencies. These critical accounting policies, as well as our other significant accounting policies, are discussed in our 2023 10-K.

Results of Operations

Revenue. Total revenue for the: (i) second quarter of 2024 was $290.3 million, a 1.4% increase when compared to $286.3 million for the second quarter of 2023; and (ii) six months ended June 30, 2024 was $585.5 million, a 0.1% increase when compared to $585.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Revenue by type for the second quarters and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows (in thousands):


	Quarter Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023		June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023
SaaS and related solutions	$	262,658	$	255,600	$	524,353	$	513,476
Software and services		14,681		18,766		37,075		49,657
Maintenance		12,979		11,961		24,025		21,933
Total revenue	$	290,318	$	286,327	$	585,453	$	585,066

The increases in revenue are primarily attributed to continued growth of our SaaS and related solutions revenue, to include our payments solutions, in addition to the approximately $3 million of revenue generated from the businesses acquired during the second quarter of 2024 (see Note 5 to our Financial Statements). This was offset to a certain degree by lower software and services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to include the software license revenue resulting from the closure of approximately $10 million of license upgrades in the first quarter of 2023.

We use the location of the customer as the basis of attributing revenue to individual countries. Revenue by geographic regions for the second quarters and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows (in thousands):


	Quarter Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023		June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023
Americas (principally the U.S.)	$	258,035	$	248,443	$	512,573	$	499,419
Europe, Middle East, and Africa		18,989		26,620		45,818		63,293
Asia Pacific		13,294		11,264		27,062		22,354
Total revenue	$	290,318	$	286,327	$	585,453	$	585,066

Total Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the: (i) second quarter of 2024 were $264.9 million, a 2.6% increase when compared to $258.1 million for the second quarter of 2023; and (ii) six months ended June 30, 2024 were $528.2 million, a 1.8% increase when compared to $518.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increases in total operating expenses are reflective of the higher SaaS and related solutions revenue between periods, to include the additional costs from the acquired businesses, and the increases in restructuring and reorganization charges, discussed below.

The components of total operating expenses are discussed in more detail below.

Cost of Revenue (Exclusive of Depreciation). The cost of revenue for the: (i) second quarter of 2024 was $152.9 million, a 1.2% increase when compared to $151.1 million for the second quarter of 2023; and (ii) six months ended June 30, 2024 was $310.8 million, a 1.5% increase when compared to $306.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increases in cost of revenue between periods are reflective of the increases in SaaS and related solutions revenue year-over-year. Total cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the: (i) second quarters of 2024 and 2023 was 52.7% and 52.8%, respectively; and (ii) six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 53.1% and 52.3%, respectively.

R&D Expense (Exclusive of Depreciation). R&D expense for the: (i) second quarter of 2024 was $38.4 million, a 4.8% increase when compared to $36.6 million for the second quarter of 2023; and (ii) six months ended June 30, 2024 was $74.5 million, a 3.3% increase when compared to $72.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increases in R&D expense between periods are mainly attributed to increased employee-related costs. Our R&D efforts are focused on the continued evolution of our solutions that enable us to launch, monetize, and scale new digital services quickly and across any channel, while delivering an exceptional customer experience, as well as the integration of the recently acquired assets into our solutions. As a percentage of total revenue, R&D expense for the: (i) second quarters of 2024 and 2023 was 13.2% and 12.8%, respectively; and (ii) six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 12.7% and 12.3%, respectively.

Selling, General, and Administrative ("SG&A") Expense (Exclusive of Depreciation). SG&A expense for the: (i) second quarter of 2024 was $61.2 million, a 2.4% decrease when compared to $62.7 million for the second quarter of 2023; and (ii) six months ended June 30, 2024 was $122.9 million, a 0.9% increase when compared to $121.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in SG&A expense during the second quarter of 2024 is primarily attributed to lower 2024 incentive compensation. The increase in SG&A expense during the six months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily attributed to increased sales and marketing costs. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A expense for the: (i) second quarters of 2024 and 2023 was 21.1% and 21.9%, respectively; and (ii) six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 21.0% and 20.8%, respectively.

Restructuring and Reorganization Charges. Restructuring and reorganization charges for the: (i) second quarter of 2024 was $7.1 million, a $5.0 million increase when compared to $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2023; and (ii) six months ended June 30, 2024 was $9.1 million, a $1.8 million increase when compared to $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The restructuring and reorganization charges for the six months ended June 30, 2024 relate mainly to initiatives to better align and allocate resources to areas of the business where we have identified growth opportunities, which have resulted in restructuring charges related to involuntary terminations of $7.4 million.

See Note 6 to our Financial Statements for additional discussion.

Operating Income. Operating income for the: (i) second quarter of 2024 was $25.4 million, or 8.8% of total revenue, compared to $28.2 million, or 9.9% of total revenue for the second quarter of 2023; and (ii) six months ended June 30, 2024 was $57.2 million, or 9.8% of total revenue, compared to $66.4 million, of 11.3% of total revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in operating income for the second quarter of 2024 is primarily due to the higher restructuring and reorganization charges, discussed above. The decrease in operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is mainly attributed to the higher software license revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as the cost associated with this revenue is not generally dependent upon on the timing of deal closures.

Interest Income. Interest income for the: (i) second quarter of 2024 was $2.1 million, a $1.3 million increase when compared to $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2023; and (ii) six months ended June 30, 2024 was $4.7 million, a $3.4 million increase when compared to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, with the increase primarily attributed to certain settlement assets being swept into overnight money market accounts on a daily basis.

Other, net. Other, net for the: (i) second quarter of 2024 was $0.2 million of other income, a $1.6 million change when compared to $1.4 million of other expense for the second quarter of 2023; and (ii) six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.7 million of other income, a $4.6 million change when compared to $3.9 million of other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023, with the change primarily attributed to foreign currency movements.

Income Tax Provision. The effective income tax rates for the: (i) second quarters of 2024 and 2023 were 31% and 29%, respectively; and (ii) six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were 30% and 29%, respectively. Our estimated full year 2024 effective income tax rate is approximately 29%, a slight increase when compared to our 2023 full year rate of approximately 28%.

Liquidity

Cash and Liquidity. As of June 30, 2024, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of $110.4 million, compared to $120.8 million as of March 31, 2024, and $186.3 million as of December 31, 2023.

As part of our 2021 Credit Agreement, we have a $450.0 million senior secured revolving loan facility with a syndicate of financial institutions that expires in September 2026, the 2021 Revolver. As of June 30, 2024, we had no borrowings outstanding on the 2021 Revolver balance, and have issued standby letters of credit for $1.5 million that count against the available 2021 Revolver balance, leaving $448.5 million available to us. The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants. As of June 30, 2024, and the date of this filing, we believe we are in compliance with the provisions of the 2021 Credit Agreement.

Our cash and cash equivalents balances as of the end of the indicated periods were located in the following geographical regions (in thousands):


	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Americas (principally the U.S.)	$	78,391	$	142,515
Europe, Middle East, and Africa		22,211		32,974
Asia Pacific		9,833		10,775
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	110,435	$	186,264

We generally have ready access to substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents, but may face limitations on moving cash out of certain foreign jurisdictions due to currency controls and potential negative economic consequences.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $3.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of cash restricted as to use primarily to collateralize guarantees and outstanding letters of credit included in our other current and non-current asset balances. In addition, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $232.1 million and $274.7 million, respectively, of settlement and merchant reserve assets which are deemed restricted due to contractual restrictions with the merchants and restrictions arising from our policy and intention. It has historically been our policy to segregate settlement and merchant reserve assets from our operating cash balances and we intend to continue to do so.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. We calculate our cash flows from operating activities beginning with net income, adding back the impact of non-cash items or non-operating activity (e.g., depreciation, amortization, impairments, gain/loss on items such as investments, lease modifications, and debt extinguishments/conversions, unrealized foreign currency transactions gain/loss, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation, etc.), and then factoring in the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities. See our 2023 10-K for a description of the primary uses and sources of our cash flows from operating activities.

Our cash flows from operating activities, broken out between operations and changes in operating assets and liabilities, for the indicated quarterly periods are as follows (in thousands):


	Operations		Changes in Operating Asset and Liabilities			Net Cash Provided by (Used In) Operating Activities – Totals
Cash Flows from Operating Activities:
2024:
March 31 (1)	$	51,655	$	(81,006	)	$	(29,351	)
June 30		35,625		7,480			43,105
Total	$	87,280	$	(73,526	)	$	13,754

2023:
March 31 (2)	$	50,158	$	(34,761	)	$	15,397
June 30		26,539		(14,153	)		12,386
Total	$	76,697	$	(48,914	)	$	27,783

(1)

Cash flows from operating activities for the first quarter of 2024 were negatively impacted by unfavorable working capital changes, to include the impact of the payment of the 2023 year-end accrued employee incentive compensation and timing of trade accounts receivable.

(2)

Cash flows from operating activities for the first quarter 2023 reflect the impact of the payment of the 2022 year-end accrued employee incentive compensation.

Variations in our net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities are generally related to the changes in our operating assets and liabilities (related mostly to fluctuations in timing at quarter-end of customer payments, billing milestones, and changes in accrued expenses), and generally over longer periods of time, do not significantly impact our cash flows from operations.

Significant fluctuations in key operating assets and liabilities between 2024 and 2023 that impacted our cash flows from operating activities are as follows:

Billed Trade Accounts Receivable

Management of our billed trade accounts receivable is one of the primary factors in maintaining strong cash flows from operating activities. These balances include significant billings for several non-revenue items (primarily postage, sales tax, and deferred revenue items). As a result, we evaluate our performance in collecting our billed trade accounts receivable through our calculation of Days Billings Outstanding (“DBO”) rather than a typical Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”) calculation.

Our gross and net billed trade accounts receivable and related allowance for expected losses (“Allowance”) as of the end of the indicated quarterly periods, and the related DBOs for the quarters then ended, are as follows (in thousands, except DBOs):


Quarter Ended	Gross		Allowance			Net Billed		DBOs
2024:
March 31	$	281,051	$	(5,692	)	$	275,359		67
June 30		270,934		(4,720	)		266,214		66

2023:
March 31	$	261,028	$	(5,254	)	$	255,774		68
June 30		260,928		(4,618	)		256,310		65

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, approximately 95% and 93%, respectively, of our net billed trade accounts receivable balances were less than 60 days past due.

We may experience adverse impacts to our DBOs if and when customer payment delays occur. However, the recurring monthly payments that cross a reporting period-end do not raise collectability concerns, as payment is generally received subsequent to quarter-end. All other changes in our gross and net billed accounts receivable reflect the normal fluctuations in the timing of customer payments at quarter-end, as evidenced by our relatively consistent DBO metric.

As a global provider of solutions and services, a portion of our trade accounts receivable balance relates to international customers. This diversity in the geographic composition of our customer base may adversely impact our DBOs as longer billing cycles (i.e., billing terms and cash collection cycles) are an inherent characteristic of international software and professional services transactions. As a result, we may experience fluctuations in our trade accounts receivable balance as our ability to invoice and collect arrangement fees is dependent upon, among other things: (i) the completion of various customer administrative matters, local country billing protocols and processes (including local cultural differences), and non-customer administrative matters; (ii) meeting certain contractual invoicing milestones and dates; (iii) the overall project status in certain situations in which we act as a subcontractor to another vendor on a project; or (iv) currency controls in certain foreign jurisdictions.

Unbilled Trade Accounts Receivable

Unbilled trade accounts receivable increased $2.4 million to $84.6 million as of June 30, 2024, from $82.2 million as of December 31, 2023. These unbilled trade accounts receivable balances relate primarily to large implementation projects where various milestone and contractual billing dates have not yet been reached or delayed. Unbilled trade accounts receivable are an inherent characteristic of certain software and services transactions and may fluctuate between quarters, as these types of transactions typically have scheduled invoicing terms over several quarters, as well as certain milestone billing events.

Income Taxes Payable/Receivable

Net income taxes payable/receivable (current and non-current) as of June 30, 2024 was a net income taxes receivable balance of $6.1 million, compared to a net income taxes payable balance of $5.8 million as of December 31, 2023. This net $11.9 million change is primarily due to the timing of our estimated federal and state income tax payments.

Accrued Employee Compensation

Accrued employee compensation decreased $34.6 million to $49.8 million as of June 30, 2024, from $84.4 million as of December 31, 2023, due primarily to the payment of the 2023 employee incentive compensation during the first quarter of 2024 that was fully accrued at December 31, 2023.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities. Our typical investing activities consist of purchases of software, property, and equipment, which are discussed below.

Purchases of Software, Property, and Equipment

Our capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 for software, property, and equipment were $9.1 million and $16.4 million, respectively, and consisted principally of investments in: (i) communication design and delivery center equipment and infrastructure; (ii) software and related equipment; and (iii) computer hardware.

Business Combinations, Net of Cash and Settlement Assets Acquired

The cash paid for the acquisitions discussed in Note 5 to our Financial Statements, less cash and settlement assets acquired, resulted in net cash provided by business combinations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $17.3 million.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities. Our financing activities typically consist of activities with our common stock, various debt-related transactions, and settlement and merchant reserve activity.

Cash Dividends Paid on Common Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, our Board approved dividends totaling $17.6 million and $17.7 million, respectively, and we made dividend payments of $18.1 million and $17.7 million, respectively, with the differences between the amount approved and paid attributed to dividends accrued on unvested incentive shares that are paid upon vesting.

Repurchase of Common Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased approximately 404,000 shares of our common stock under our Stock Repurchase Program for $19.3 million. We did not make any share repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Additionally, outside of our Stock Repurchase Program, during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we repurchased from our employees and then canceled approximately 168,000 shares of our common stock, for both periods, for $8.9 million and $9.4 million, respectively, in connection with minimum tax withholding requirements resulting from the vesting of restricted stock under our stock incentive plans.

Through the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we have paid $27.9 million and $9.4 million, respectively, for our total repurchases of common stock, with any differences when compared to the amounts purchased attributed to the timing of the settlement.

See Note 9 to our Financial Statements for additional discussion of our repurchases of common stock.

Long-Term Debt

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we made principal repayments on our 2021 Term Loan of $3.8 million during each period. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, we borrowed and subsequently repaid $15.0 million from our 2021 Revolver for general corporate purposes. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we borrowed $30.0 million from our 2021 Revolver for general corporate purposes and repaid $15.0 million.

See Note 4 to our Financial Statements for additional discussion of our long-term debt.

Settlement and Merchant Reserve Activity

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we had net settlement and merchant reserve activity of $(88.7) million and $(63.1) million, respectively, related to the cash collected, held on behalf, and paid to our merchants related to our payments services and the net change in deposits held on behalf of our merchants. These balances can significantly fluctuate between periods due to activity at the end of the period and the day in which the period ends.

See Note 2 to our Financial Statements for additional discussion of our settlement and merchant reserves.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet arrangements are mainly limited to money transmitter bonds, bid bonds, performance bonds, and standby letters of credit. These arrangements do not have a material impact and are not reasonably likely to have a material future impact to our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. See Note 7 to our Financial Statements for additional information on these guarantees.

Capital Resources

The following are the key items to consider in assessing our sources and uses of capital resources:

Current Sources of Capital Resources. Below are the key items to consider in assessing our current sources of capital resources:

•

Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $110.4 million, of which approximately 63% is in U.S. dollars and held in the U.S. For the remainder of the monies denominated in foreign currencies and/or located outside the U.S., we do not anticipate any material amounts being unavailable for use in funding our business, but may face limitations on moving cash out of certain foreign jurisdictions due to currency controls and potential negative economic consequences.

•

Operating Cash Flows. As described in the Liquidity section above, we believe we have the ability to generate strong cash flows to fund our operating activities and act as a source of funds for our capital resource needs, although we may experience quarterly variations in our cash flows from operations related to the changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

•

Revolving Loan Facility. As part of our 2021 Credit Agreement, we have a $450.0 million revolving loan facility, the 2021 Revolver. As of June 30, 2024, we had no borrowings outstanding on the 2021 Revolver and issued standby letters of credit for $1.5 million that count against the available 2021 Revolver balance, currently leaving $448.5 million available to us. Our long-term debt obligations are discussed in more detail in Note 4 to our Financial Statements.

Uses/Potential Uses of Capital Resources. Below are the key items to consider in assessing our uses/potential uses of capital resources:

•

Common Stock Repurchases. We have made repurchases of our common stock in the past under our Stock Repurchase Program. As of June 30, 2024, we had $76.5 million authorized for repurchase remaining under our Stock Repurchase Program. In August of 2024, our Board authorized an additional $100.0 million of repurchases under our Stock Repurchase Program, with all outstanding authorized repurchases to be completed by December 31, 2025. Our 2021 Credit Agreement places certain limitations on our ability to repurchase our common stock.

Under our Stock Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including through an accelerated stock repurchase plan or under a SEC Rule 10b5-1 plan. The actual timing and amount of share repurchases are dependent on the current market conditions and other business-related factors. Our common stock repurchases are discussed in more detail in Note 9 to our Financial Statements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased approximately 404,000 shares of our common stock for $19.3 million (weighted-average price of $47.82 per share).

Outside of our Stock Repurchase Program, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased from our employees and then cancelled approximately 168,000 shares of our common stock for $8.9 million in connection with minimum tax withholding requirements resulting from the vesting of restricted common stock under our stock incentive plans.

•

Cash Dividends. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Board declared dividends totaling $17.6 million. Going forward, we expect to pay cash dividends each year in March, June, September, and December, with the amount and timing subject to our Board’s approval.

•

Acquisitions. As a result of our previous acquisition activity, during the six months ended June 30, 2024 we made $0.5 million of deferred acquisition payments. We expect to pay an additional $2.0 million in 2024 and $0.3 million in 2025 related to these past acquisitions. Additionally, there are provisions for up to approximately $13 million of potential future earn-out payments. The earn-out period is through September 30, 2025.

During the second quarter of 2024, we acquired two businesses, discussed in further detail in Note 5 to our Financial Statements. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $32.6 million, subject to customary working capital adjustments. One of the purchase agreements includes provisions for up to $15.0 million of potential future earn-out payments tied to performance-based goals and a defined service period. The earn-out period is through June 3, 2027. These acquisitions were funded from currently available cash.

As part of our growth strategy, we are continually evaluating potential business and/or asset acquisitions and investments in market share expansion with our existing and potential new customers and expansion into verticals outside the global communications market.

•

Exit of Reseller Agreements. During 2023, we exited out of two reseller agreements that were acquired with the acquisition of Forte Payment Systems, Inc. in 2018, at a total cost of $9.9 million, of which $1.8 million was paid in 2023. We paid an additional $5.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Of the remaining $2.5 million, $1.3 million will be paid in 2025 and $1.2 million will be paid in 2026.

•

Capital Expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we spent $9.1 million on capital expenditures.

•

Financing Agreements. We have financing agreements for certain of our internal use software. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we paid $0.5 million related to these financing agreements, with an additional $2.5 million to be paid in 2024, $3.9 million to be paid in in 2025, $2.8 million to be paid in 2026, and $0.9 million to be paid in 2027.

•

Long-Term Debt. As of June 30, 2024, our long-term debt consisted of the following: (i) 2023 Convertible Notes in the principal aggregate amount of $425.0 million; and (ii) 2021 Credit Agreement term loan borrowings of $129.4 million.

2023 Convertible Notes. The 2023 Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the note holders before June 15, 2028 upon the occurrence of certain events, however, there are no scheduled conversion triggers over the next twelve months. As a result, we expect our required debt service cash outlay during the next twelve months for the 2023 Convertible Notes to be limited to interest payments of $16.5 million.

2021 Credit Agreement. The mandatory repayments under our 2021 Credit Agreement for the next twelve months are $7.5 million and the cash interest expense (based upon then-current interest rates) for the 2021 Term Loan is $8.8 million. We have the ability to make prepayments without penalties on our 2021 Credit Agreement.

Our long-term debt obligations are discussed in more detail in Note 4 to our Financial Statements.

In summary, we expect to continue to have material needs for capital resources going forward, as noted above. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents balances and our 2021 Revolver, together with cash expected to be generated in the future from our current operating activities, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital resource requirements for at least the next twelve months. We believe we could obtain additional capital through other debt sources which may be available to us if deemed appropriate.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. As of June 30, 2024, we are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates, fluctuations and changes in the market value of our cash equivalents and settlement and merchant reserve assets, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We have not historically entered into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Long-Term Debt. The interest rate on our 2023 Convertible Notes is fixed, and thus, as it relates to our convertible debt borrowings, we are not exposed to changes in interest rates.

The interest rates on our 2021 Credit Agreement are based upon an adjusted SOFR rate (including a 0.10% credit spread adjustment) plus an applicable margin, or an ABR plus an applicable margin. See Note 4 to our Financial Statements for further details related to our long-term debt.

A hypothetical adverse change of 10% in the June 30, 2024 adjusted SOFR rate would not have a material impact upon our results of operations.

Market Risk

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $110.4 million and $186.3 million, respectively. Certain of our cash balances are swept into overnight money market accounts on a daily basis, and at times, any excess funds are invested in low-risk, somewhat longer term, cash equivalent instruments. Our cash equivalents are invested primarily in institutional money market funds held at major banks. We have minimal market risk for our cash and cash equivalents due to the relatively short maturities of the instruments.

Settlement and Merchant Reserve Assets. We are exposed to market risk associated with cash held on behalf of our merchants related to our payment processing services. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $232.1 million and $274.7 million, respectively, of cash collected on behalf of our merchants. The cash is held in accounts with various major financial institutions in the U.S. and Canada in an amount equal to at least 100% of the aggregate amount owed to our merchants. These balances can significantly fluctuate between periods due to activity at the end of the period and the day in which the period ends. Certain settlement assets are swept into overnight money market accounts on a daily basis.

Long-Term Debt. The fair value of our convertible debt is exposed to market risk. We do not carry our convertible debt at fair value but present the fair value for disclosure purposes (see Note 2 to our Financial Statements). Generally, the fair value of our convertible debt is impacted by changes in interest rates and changes in the price and volatility of our common stock. As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the 2023 Convertible Notes was estimated at $396.5 million, using quoted market prices.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Due to foreign operations around the world, our financial statements are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk due to the fluctuations in the value of currencies in which we conduct business. Our principal currency exposures include the British Pound, Euro, Australian Dollar, Saudi Riyal, and South African Rand. While we attempt to maximize natural hedges by incurring expenses in the same currency in which we contract revenue, the related expenses for that revenue could be in one or more differing currencies than the revenue stream. In particular, if the U.S. Dollar were to strengthen it would reduce the reported amount of our foreign-denominated cash, cash equivalents, trade receivables, revenue, and expenses that we translate into U.S. Dollars and report in our consolidated financial statements for, and as of the end of, each reporting period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we generated approximately 90% of our revenue in U.S. dollars. We expect that, in the foreseeable future, we will continue to generate a very large percentage of our revenue in U.S. dollars.

We have analyzed our foreign currency exposure as of June 30, 2024. A hypothetical adverse change of 10% in the June 30, 2024 exchange rates would not have had a material impact upon our results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b), our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), conducted an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

FOR SUBLICENSE OF [******] SOFTWARE TO COMMERCIAL END USERS

This Exhibit A provides for the terms and conditions applicable to the Customer for its use of the [******] Software as described in Appendix A to this Exhibit A (“[******] Software”) licensed to Customer along with the CSG Licensed Offering identified in Appendix A, in addition to any licensing terms and conditions applicable to the CSG Licensed Offering as provided for in the CSG Master Subscriber Management System Agreement, Encompass Addendum and Encompass Order Document concluded between the Parties (collectively, the “Agreement”) (the Agreement and this Exhibit A shall be jointly referred to as the “end user license agreement”). Customer is hereinafter referred to as “End User”, or “end user”. Notwithstanding section 5 (Encompass Addendum; Scope and Conflict) of the Agreement, should there be any inconsistency between the terms of this Exhibit A and those of the Agreement, the terms of this Exhibit A shall prevail in governing the licensing terms of the [******] Software only.

(1) The use of the [******] Software is limited to the legal entity that executed the Agreement (“signing entity”) and any wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries and affiliates of the signing entity that the signing entity has contractually bound, and such signing entity shall be liable for actions of such subsidiary or affiliate. “Affiliates”, as used in the foregoing sentence, means a wholly or majority-owned subsidiary of the entity controlling the legal entity that executed the Agreement.

(2) [******] grants the end user a right to use the [******] Software together with the CSG Licensed Offering only and for the internal business operations of the end user. End user is allowed to permit agents or contractors (including, without limitation, outsourcers) to use the application package on the applicable end user’s behalf for the end user’s internal business operations as described above, subject to the terms of this Exhibit A and the Agreement. Nothing in the preceding sentence is intended to restrict CSG from providing outsourcing services to CSG’s end users in connection with the use of the application package(s). For an application package that includes [******] Software that is specifically designed to facilitate interactions between the end user and the end user’s customers and suppliers, the end user may permit its customers and suppliers to use the application package in furtherance of such interactions subject to the end user license agreement. End User shall be responsible for its agent’s, contractor’s, outsourcer’s, customer’s and supplier’s use of the [******] Software (as part of CSG’s Licensed Offering) and compliance with the terms of this Exhibit A and the Agreement. The term “application package”, as used in this Exhibit A, refers to the CSG Licensed Offering, coupled with the [******] Software and distributed to the end user.

(3) [******] or its licensor retains all ownership and intellectual property rights to the [******] Software.

(4) End user shall not assign, give, or transfer the [******] Software and/or any services ordered or an interest in them to another individual or entity (in the event the end user grants a security interest in the [******] Software and/or any services, the secured party has no right to use or transfer the [******] Software and/or any services).

(5) The end user is expressly prohibited from:

After CSG has determined that the problem is not in the CSG Licensed Offering receiving Support Services or warranty, CSG will so inform Customer and Customer agrees to compensate CSG at CSG’s then current applicable rates specified in this Encompass Addendum or the Agreement for the time CSG has expended in diagnosing the problem.  It is then Customer's responsibility to correct the problem.  If at that time Customer specifically requests it, CSG will continue to work on the problem under CSG's then current rates.

   

5 Customer’s Responsibilities: CSG requires the cooperation of Customer in order for CSG to provide Support Services. The Customer, therefore, agrees to provide:

   

5.1 Designated Contacts and Trained Personnel: Customer shall appoint certain technical contacts in accordance with the terms set forth in Exhibit A. 

   

5.2 Remote Access:  Customer shall provide CSG with remote access to the CSG Licensed Offering in accordance with the terms of Exhibit A.

   

5.3 Malfunction Correction of Non-supported Components: Customer shall provide for the correction of malfunctions of any software or hardware components of its system which, at the time, are not covered by a warranty or maintenance contract issued through CSG.

   

5.4 Project and Operational Managers: Customer shall provide a project manager who will have the primary responsibility for interfacing with CSG and also for keeping the Customer's organization and personnel informed about decisions regarding the status of the CSG Licensed Offering. Customer will also provide an operational manager who will provide guidance to its users of the CSG Licensed Offering and will also be responsible for authorizing Emergency service calls to CSG.

   

5.5 Modifications to CSG Licensed Offering or Environment: If CSG becomes aware that Customer or a third party has modified the CSG supported CSG Licensed Offering or changed the operating environment in such a manner that requires an increase in the level of Support Services, CSG will notify Customer of such an occurrence.  Until the Parties reach an agreement regarding appropriate modifications to the Support Services (including price adjustments) to be provided by CSG or Customer restores the CSG supported CSG Licensed Offering or operating environment to its original condition, CSG shall be relieved of all support obligations.

   

5.6 Uninstalled Updates: Customer is responsible for installing Updates in a timely manner.  CSG shall not be responsible for correcting any alleged problem in an unsupported version of the CSG Licensed Offering (as defined in Section 1.6.1 below).

   

5.7 Installation of Fixes: The Customer agrees to promptly install any fixes that CSG provides to resolve Incidents.  Customer acknowledges that temporary fixes may be provided by CSG without full testing of such temporary fix.

   

5.8 Customer will not be permitted to designate individual CSG personnel that will perform system support and thus require access.  Furthermore, CSG personnel will not be required to submit to any personnel checks, sign any Customer agreement including individual NDAs, nor will CSG divulge any private data regarding CSG personnel that may perform support.  Except as otherwise provided in a Statement of Work, CSG personnel will not be required to maintain citizenship with any specific country, nor will the CSG personnel be required to work from any specific jurisdiction.  Except as otherwise provided in a Statement of Work, CSG specifically disclaims any representation that CSG and the CSG personnel hold any specific security authorization including, but not limited to, [*******] authorized.

   

6 Update Services for the CSG Licensed Offering:

   

    1.6.1 CSG may in its entire discretion, from time to time, make Updates available to the Customer.
Any other software or products developed or published by CSG will be offered to Customer at CSG's then current published rates.  The above Updates shall not include new or separate software or products that CSG offers generally to its customers for an additional cost, regardless of whether or not those customers have current Support Services agreements.

6.2 The Updates may include, without limitation and at the sole discretion of CSG, software code which: improves performance or operations; adds diagnostic routines; adds new features; provides more efficient user interfaces; makes data retrieval or entry easier; or updates Documentation of the CSG Licensed Offering, all of which shall, subject to CSG’s receipt of the Support Fees for the CSG Licensed Offering payable for the applicable period, upon installation, be considered to form part of the CSG Licensed Offering and shall not be licensed separately by CSG.

   

6.3 Where an Update requires a new version of the CPU operating system software, an additional manufacturer's license fee may apply and is the responsibility of Customer.

   

6.4 Major Releases may contain optional new modules that are licensed separately. Customer can choose not to purchase these modules and yet remain current with the latest CSG Licensed Offering release.

   

6.5 CSG supports the [******* *** *** ********* ********] Major Release of the CSG Licensed Offering.  At the sole discretion of CSG, CSG may charge additional fees or discontinue Support Services of prior Major Releases after the current Major Release of the CSG Licensed Offering has been available to Customer for more than a [*********** (**) *****] period.

   

6.6 Emergency Releases can be downloaded and installed by Customer via CSG’s ftp site. However, if any installation of the CSG Licensed Offering by CSG is necessary or requested by Customer, it will be at additional charge. If a Customer is not on a supported Minor Release of the CSG Licensed Offering, they will be required to upgrade to at least the latest supported Minor Release prior to receiving an Emergency Release.

   

6.7 All transition, migration, installation, integration, testing and any other services required by Customer to implement any Updates shall not form part of the Support Services, and shall be charged separately by CSG.

   

6.8 Installation and license fees for new releases of CPU operating system software or patches as required by their manufacturers are not included in Support Fees. Furthermore, services in connection with the integration of the CSG Licensed Offering with new CPU operating system software are not included in the Support Services, and, if requested by Customer and if CSG agrees in writing to provide such services, they will be charged separately by CSG.

   

7  Customer acknowledges that the [********** **** *** ***** ** ******* * ** ********** *] may be impacted in certain limited scenarios where CSG cannot feasibly or commercially reasonably create a Resolution solely within [*** *** ********] and is therefore reliant on a change from [*** ************** ** *** ****** ******] software that is being distributed by CSG to Customer together with the CSG Licensed Offering under this Encompass Addendum.

   

    1.8 Exhibits: The following Exhibits are attached to and form an integral part of this Attachment 4:

•

Critical Incident: [***** ******* ** * ******** ******* ** *** ********* ** *** *** ******** ******** ****** *** ********** *********** ***** ******** *** ******** **** ***** **** ** *** *** *** ******** ******** *** ******* ******** ******** ********* ***** *** * ******** ******* ****** ** *** ********** ******** *** ********** *** *** ***** ** ********* ********** ** **********]

•

High Incident: [** ******** ***** ******* ** *** ******* ******* ** **** ** ******** ************* ** *** *** ******** ******** ****** *** ********** *********** ** ********* ** *** ************** *** ******** *** ** **** ** *** *** *** ******** ******** ** *** ********** ************ *** ** *** *** ** **** ** ******* *** ******** **** ************* ** ********** **** *** ***************]

•

Medium Incident: [** ******** ***** ******* ** *** ******* **** ** ************ ****** ************* ** *** *** ******** ******** ****** *** ********** ************]

•

Low Incident: [** ******** **** ** ***** ** ******** ** ******* ********* ** ***** ************* *** ** ****** ** ** ****** *** *** ********** ********** ******** ********* *** ***********]

Customer's Technical Contact Access

Any lack of availability of the Customer Technical Contacts or delay by the Customer Technical Contacts to provide the GSD with any information requested by GSD which is reasonably required by CSG in order to be able to provide a Response or carry out a Restoration or Resolution may adversely affect CSG’s ability to achieve the respective Response, Restoration and/or Resolution times as specified Exhibit B of Attachment 4, and as such the respective times will be adjusted accordingly.

2.6

Remote Access

CSG requires a mutually agreed upon remote access plan providing CSG with sufficient remote access to provide the Support Services to the CSG Licensed Offering in the Test Environment. Regardless of the remote access plan agreed to by the Parties, CSG shall provide the Support Services in accordance with the Information Security Requirements and the following additional requirements:
