Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (as amended, the “Quarterly Report” or the “Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A”) amends and restates certain items noted below in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Shift4 Payments, Inc. (the “Company”) for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 6, 2022 (the “Original Form 10-Q”).

Background and Effect of Restatement

On October 17, 2022, the Audit Committee (“Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company, after discussion with management, concluded that the Company’s (i) previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and (ii) previously filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2021, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 (collectively the “Prior Financial Statements”), and any reports, related earnings releases, investor presentations or similar communications of the Company’s Prior Financial Statements should no longer be relied upon.

The determination resulted from an error in the Prior Financial Statements identified by the Company related to the classification of customer acquisition costs within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Specifically, the Company determined that “Customer acquisition costs” were incorrectly classified within “Investing activities” rather than “Operating activities” in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company is correcting this misclassification by restating its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows through the amendments of the Prior Financial Statements.

The Company determined that the restatement did not have any impact on the Company’s operating performance or reported key performance indicators.

Internal Control Considerations

As a result of this restatement, the Company’s management has re-evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. Management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at March 31, 2022 due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, there was a lack of an effectively designed control activity related to the classification of customer acquisition costs within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See additional discussion included in Part I, Item 4. “Controls and Procedures” of this Quarterly Report.

Items Amended in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A

For the convenience of the reader, this Quarterly Report presents the Original Form 10-Q in its entirety. It includes (i) items that have been amended as a result of the restatement in: Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements”; Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”; Part I, Item 4. “Controls and Procedures”; and Part II, Item 6. “Exhibits”; and in addition to these items amended due to the restatement, updates to certain other information as follows: (ii) certain other conforming changes within Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” and Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”; (iii) updates to cross-references throughout the Quarterly Report; and (iv) an updated Signatures page (together, the “Amended Items”). In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company is also including with this Quarterly Report currently dated certifications of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer (included in Part II, Item 6. “Exhibits” and attached as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1, and 32.2).

Except for the Amended Items, this Quarterly Report is presented as of the date of the Original Form 10-Q and has not been updated to reflect events occurring subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-Q other than the Amended Items and those associated with the restatement of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Original Form 10-Q have not been revised to reflect events, results or developments that occurred or facts that became known to us after the date of the Original Form 10-Q, other than the Amended Items and those associated with the restatement of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and such forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with our filings with the SEC, including those subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-Q.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, including, without limitation, statements relating to our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans, objectives of management for future operations, including, among others, statements regarding expected growth, future capital expenditures and debt service obligations, remediation of material weaknesses, and the anticipated impact of COVID-19 on our business are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions though not all forward-looking statements can be identified by such terms or expressions. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A and are subject to a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to the following:

•the COVID-19 global pandemic has had and is expected to continue to have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations;

•substantial and increasingly intense competition worldwide in the financial services, payments and payment technology industries may adversely affect our overall business and operations;

•potential changes in the competitive landscape, including disintermediation from other participants in the payments chain, could harm our business;

•our ability to anticipate and respond to changing industry trends and the needs and preferences of our merchants and consumers may adversely affect our competitiveness or the demand for our products and services;

•because we rely on third-party vendors to provide products and services, we could be adversely impacted if they fail to fulfill their obligations;

•acquisitions create certain risks and may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations;

•we may not be able to continue to expand our share of the existing payment processing markets or expand into new markets which would inhibit our ability to grow and increase our profitability;

•our services and products must integrate with a variety of operating systems, software, device and web browsers, and our business may be materially and adversely affected if we are unable to ensure that our services interoperate with such operating systems, device, software and web browsers;

•we depend, in part, on our merchant and software partner relationships and strategic partnerships with various institutions to operate and grow our business. If we are unable to maintain these relationships and partnerships, our business may be adversely affected;

•our balance sheet includes significant amounts of goodwill and intangible assets. The impairment of a significant portion of these assets would negatively affect our business, financial condition or results of operations;

•failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) anti-money laundering, economic and trade sanctions regulations, and similar laws could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences;

•our principal asset is our interest in Shift4 Payments, LLC, and, as a result, we depend on distributions from Shift4 Payments, LLC to pay our taxes and expenses, including payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”). Shift4 Payments, LLC’s ability to make such distributions may be subject to various limitations and restrictions;

•our Founder (as defined herein) has significant influence over us, including control over decisions that require the approval of stockholders;

•the potential impact of, and our ability to remediate, material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting;

Table of Contents

•the ongoing military action between Russia and Ukraine could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations; and

•those factors described in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed on November 8, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10-K/A”) and the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A.

Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties.

You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A and the documents that we reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

(Unaudited) (in millions, except share, unit and per unit amounts)

1.Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Shift4 Payments, Inc., (“Shift4 Payments”) (“the Company”), was incorporated in Delaware on November 5, 2019 in order to carry on the business of Shift4 Payments, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company is a leading provider of integrated payment processing and technology solutions. Through the Shift4 Model, the Company offers software providers a single integration to an end-to-end payments offering, a powerful gateway and a robust suite of technology solutions (including cloud enablement, business intelligence, analytics, and mobile) to enhance the value of their software suites and simplify payment acceptance. The Company provides for its merchants a seamless customer experience at scale, rather than simply acting as one of multiple providers they rely on to operate their businesses. The Shift4 Model is built to serve a range of merchants from small-to-medium-sized businesses to large and complex enterprises across numerous verticals, including food and beverage, hospitality, stadiums and arenas, gaming, specialty retail, non-profits and eCommerce. This includes the Company’s point of sale (“POS”) software offerings, as well as over 425 additional software integrations in virtually every industry.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. As such, these financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The December 31, 2021 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP applicable to interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or future periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K/A”).

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shift4 Payments, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Change in Presentation of Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations

The Company has changed the presentation of its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations to remove the “Gross profit” line item and update the “Cost of sales” line item to indicate it is exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense shown separately for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company has also changed the presentation of the disclosure in Note 23 to remove the reconciliation between “Gross revenue” and “Gross profit.”

Liquidity and Management’s Plan

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $1,772.5 million outstanding under its credit facilities and was in compliance with the financial covenants under its debt agreements. The Company expects to be in compliance for at least 12 months following issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 11 for further information on the Company’s debt obligations.

The rapid spread of COVID-19 resulted in governmental authorities throughout the United States and the rest of the world implementing a variety of containment measures with the objective of slowing the spread of the virus, including travel restrictions, shelter-in-place orders and business shutdowns or other restrictions. The COVID-19 pandemic and these containment measures have had, and could continue to have, a significant impact on the Company’s business. While the Company has experienced year-over-year growth in its gross revenues and end-to-end payment volumes, end-to-end payment volumes in certain merchant categories, particularly those associated with international travel and corporate travel are running lower than pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. The ultimate impact that the COVID-19 pandemic and any variants will have on the Company’s consolidated results of operations in future periods remains uncertain. The Company will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of these potential impacts to its business, consolidated results of operations and liquidity.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates of fair value of acquired assets and liabilities through business combinations, fair value of contingent liabilities related to earnout payments, fair value of debt instruments, allowance for doubtful accounts, income taxes, investments in securities and noncontrolling interests. Estimates are based on past experience and other considerations reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Additionally, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated. However, the Company has made accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 to Shift4 Payments, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 in the 2021 Form 10-K/A. There have been no significant changes to these policies which have had a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC 842 with amendments in 2018 and 2019. This accounting guidance requires a lessee to record assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations arising from leases with terms of more than 12 months. On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective method, reflecting the adoption in the Company's annual results for the period ended December 31, 2021. Prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting under previous lease guidance, ASC Topic 840, Leases (“ASC 840”). The Company elected to use the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance. The Company did not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, or (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For lease agreements where the Company is a lessee that include lease and non-lease components, the Company elected to use the practical expedient on all leases entered into or modified after January 1, 2021 to combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of assets. Additionally, the Company elected to not record on the balance sheet leases with a term of twelve months or less. Upon adoption, the Company recorded right-of-use assets of $21.4 million and lease liabilities of $25.7 million. The adoption of ASC 842 did not result in a material impact to the consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. See Note 15 for ASC 842-related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13: Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets, including accounts receivable, and replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on a modified retrospective basis on December 31, 2021, reflecting the adoption as of January 1, 2021 in the Company's annual results for the period ended December 31, 2021 and interim periods beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not result in a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU requires an acquirer to account for revenue contracts acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606, as if it had originated the contracts. Prior to ASU 2021-08, an acquirer generally recognized assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers and other similar contracts, at fair value on the acquisition date. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 in the third quarter of 2021 and retrospectively applied the ASU to its acquisitions that occurred in 2021. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 resulted in an increase to “Deferred revenue” of $5.7 million, of which $1.8 million was recognized as an increase to “Gross revenue” for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05, Lessors —Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments, to amend lessor accounting for certain leases with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate and would have resulted in the recognition of a loss at lease commencement if classified as a sales-type or a direct financing lease. ASU 2021-05 amends the classification requirements of such leases for lessors to require operating lease classification. The Company adopted ASU 2021-05 on a retrospective basis effective January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to certain criteria, that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), or another reference rate that is expected to be discontinued. Companies may elect to apply these amendments through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating whether we will elect the optional expedients, as well as evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

In October 2022, it was determined that there was an error in the Company’s original Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to the classification of customer acquisition costs within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Specifically, the Company determined that “Customer acquisition costs” were incorrectly classified within “Investing activities” rather than “Operating activities” in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company is correcting this misclassification by restating its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows through the amendment of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The following tables summarize the impact of these adjustments for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
	As Reported		Adjustments		As Restated
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	37.1	$	(6.3)	$	30.8
Net cash used in investing activities	(43.9)		6.3		(37.6)
Net cash used in financing activities	(35.7)		—		(35.7)
Change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(42.5)	$	—	$	(42.5)

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
	As Reported		Adjustments		As Restated
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(1.7)	$	(5.4)	$	(7.1)
Net cash used in investing activities	(77.5)		5.4		(72.1)
Net cash used in financing activities	(3.7)		—		(3.7)
Change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(82.9)	$	—	$	(82.9)

3.Acquisitions

Each of the following acquisitions was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The respective purchase prices were allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired, which cannot be individually identified or separately recognized. Under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, if there are changes to acquired deferred tax balances, valuation allowances or liabilities related to uncertain tax positions during the measurement period, and they are related to new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, those changes are considered a measurement-period adjustment, with the offset recorded to goodwill.

The Giving Block

On February 28, 2022, the Company acquired The Giving Block, Inc. (“The Giving Block”) for $106.9 million of estimated total purchase consideration, net of cash acquired. The Giving Block is a cryptocurrency donation marketplace that the Company expects to accelerate its growth in the non-profit sector with significant cross-sell potential. Total purchase consideration was as follows:


Cash	$	16.8
Shares of Class A common stock (a)	36.4
RSUs granted for fair value of equity-based compensation awards (b)	0.1
Contingent consideration (c)	57.8
Total purchase consideration	111.1
Less: cash acquired	(4.2)
Total purchase consideration, net of cash acquired	$	106.9

(a) Total purchase consideration includes 785,969 shares of common stock.
(b) The Company assumed all equity awards held by continuing employees. The portion of the fair value of the equity-based compensation awards associated with prior service of The Giving Block employees represents a component of the total consideration as presented above and was valued based on the fair value of The Giving Block awards on February 28, 2022, the acquisition date.
(c) The Company agreed to an earnout due to the former shareholders of The Giving Block in April 2023, calculated as a multiple of revenue earned by The Giving Block from March 1, 2022 to February 28, 2023, not to exceed $246.0 million. The earnout will be paid 75% in a combination of RSUs and shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and 25% in cash. The fair value of the earnout was included in the initial purchase consideration and will be revalued quarterly until the end of the earnout period as a fair value adjustment within “General and administrative expenses” in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2022, the fair value of the earnout included in the purchase consideration was $57.8 million, which is recognized in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, a portion of the earnout due in April 2023 is considered post-acquisition compensation expense and will be accrued throughout the earnout period within “General and administrative expenses” on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2022, $1.4 million was included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table summarizes the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. These amounts reflect various preliminary fair value estimates and assumptions, and are subject to change within the measurement period as valuations are finalized. The primary areas of preliminary purchase price allocation subject to change relate to the valuation of contingent consideration, accounts receivable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities assumed and residual goodwill.


Accounts receivable	$	0.1
Other intangible assets	26.0
Goodwill (a)	89.3
Deferred revenue	(2.1)
Deferred tax liability	(6.4)
Net assets acquired	$	106.9
(a) Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

In the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred expenses in connection with The Giving Block acquisition of $2.2 million. These expenses are included in “Professional fees” in the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair values of intangible assets were estimated using inputs classified as Level 3 under the income approach using either the relief-from-royalty method (developed technology and trade name), the with or without method (donor relationships) or the multi-period excess earnings method (customer relationships). The contingent liability arising from the expected earnout payment included in purchase consideration was measured on the acquisition date using a Monte Carlo simulation in a risk-neutral framework, calibrated to Management's revenue forecasts. The transaction was not taxable for income tax purposes. The weighted average life of developed technology, the trade name, donor relationships and customer relationships is 8 years, 15 years, 5 years and 15 years, respectively. The goodwill arising from the acquisition largely consisted of revenue synergies associated with a larger total addressable market and the ability to cross-sell existing customers, new customers and technology capabilities.

The Giving Block acquisition did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, revenue and expenses related to the acquisition and pro forma financial information have not been presented.

Postec

The Company completed the acquisition of Postec, Inc. (“Postec”) on September 1, 2021, by acquiring 100% of its membership interests for $14.3 million in cash, net of cash acquired. The purchase was funded with cash on hand. This acquisition enables the boarding of the vendor’s customers on the Company’s end-to-end acquiring solution and empowers the Company’s distribution partners to sign the vendor’s customer accounts and leverage the combined expertise to handle all aspects of installation, service, and support, similar to the hospitality technology vendor acquired in October 2020.

Pending Finaro Acquisition

On March 1, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Credorax, Inc. d/b/a Finaro (“Finaro”) for approximately $200.0 million in cash on hand, $325.0 million in shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and a performance-based earnout of up to $50.0 million in the Company’s Class A common stock. Consummation of the merger is subject to regulatory approvals, which the Company expects to receive in the fourth quarter of 2022. Finaro is a cross-border eCommerce platform and bank specializing in solving complex payment problems for multi-national merchants that the Company believes will accelerate its growth in international markets. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred expenses in connection with the Finaro acquisition of $3.6 million. These expenses are included in “Professional fees” in the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had deferred revenue of $24.1 million and $17.4 million, respectively.

13.Fair Value Measurement

U.S. GAAP defines a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted process in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The Company determines the fair values of its assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in accordance with the hierarchy described below. The following three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

•Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

•Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include items where the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

(Unaudited) (in millions, except share, unit and per unit amounts)

The Company makes recurring fair value measurements of contingent liabilities arising from certain acquisitions using Level 3 unobservable inputs. These amounts relate to expected earnout payments related to the number of existing point-of-sale merchants that convert to full acquiring merchants.

In conjunction with the acquisition of The Giving Block, Inc. on February 28, 2022, the Company entered into a contingent consideration agreement that requires the Company to pay up to $246.0 million if certain revenue thresholds of the acquired business are achieved for the twelve months ending February 28, 2023. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model, which included significant unobservable Level 3 inputs, such as projected financial performance over the earn-out period along with estimates for revenue volatility (16.7%) and the discount rate (7.1%). See Note 3 for more information on the terms of the earnout agreement. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration related to purchase consideration of $57.8 million as of March 31, 2022 was recognized in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The table below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the Level 3 contingent liabilities:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
Balance at beginning of period	$	—	$	—
Contingent consideration for The Giving Block acquisition	57.8		—
Cash payments made for contingent liabilities related to earnout payments	—		(0.2)

Fair value adjustments	—		0.2
Balance at end of period	$	57.8	$	—

Fair value adjustments are recorded within “General and administrative expenses” in the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

The estimated fair value of the Company's outstanding debt using quoted prices from over-the-counter markets, considered Level 2 inputs, was as follows.


	March 31, 2022				December 31, 2021
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
2025 Convertible Notes	$	690.0	$	725.6	$	690.0	$	735.4
2027 Convertible Notes	632.5		554.1		632.5		556.5
2026 Senior Notes	450.0		437.1		450.0		465.7
Total	$	1,772.5	$	1,716.8	$	1,772.5	$	1,757.6

Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, other noncurrent assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities as their estimated fair values reasonably approximate their carrying value as reported on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

14.Income Taxes

The Company holds an economic interest in Shift4 Payments, LLC and consolidates its financial position and results. The remaining ownership of Shift4 Payments, LLC not held by the Company is considered a noncontrolling interest. Shift4 Payments, LLC is treated as a partnership for income tax reporting and its members, including the Company, are liable for federal, state, and local income taxes based on their share of the LLC’s taxable income. In addition, Shift4 Corporation and VenueNext, Inc., two operating subsidiaries of Shift4 Payments, LLC, are considered C-Corporations for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes. Taxable income or loss from Shift4 Corporation and VenueNext Inc. is not passed through to Shift4 Payments, LLC. Instead, it is taxed at the corporate level subject to the prevailing corporate tax rates.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited) (in millions, except share, unit and per unit amounts)

The Company has assessed the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and in that analysis has considered the relevant positive and negative evidence available to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at Shift4 Payments, Inc. as of March 31, 2022, which will be maintained until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances.

The Company’s effective tax rate was (32.0)% and 1.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the loss allocated to the noncontrolling interest, the full valuation allowance on Shift4 Payments, Inc. and VenueNext, Inc. in the United States, and a $6.4 million income tax benefit related to the valuation allowance release due to acquired deferred tax liabilities from The Giving Block. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the loss allocated to the noncontrolling interest and the full valuation allowances on Shift4 Payments, Inc. and VenueNext, Inc. in the United States.

Tax Receivable Agreement

The Company expects to obtain an increase in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of Shift4 Payments, LLC as LLC Interests are redeemed from or exchanged by the Continuing Equity Owners, at the option of the Company, determined solely by the Company’s independent directors. The Company intends to treat any redemptions and exchanges of LLC Interests as direct purchases of LLC Interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that it would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. In connection with the Reorganization Transactions and the IPO, the Company entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with the Continuing Equity Owners.

The TRA provides for the payment by Shift4 Payments, Inc. of 85% of the amount of any tax benefits the Company actually realizes, or in some cases is deemed to realize, as a result of (i) increases in the Company’s share of the tax basis in the net assets of Shift4 Payments, LLC resulting from any redemptions or exchanges of LLC Interests, (ii) tax basis increases attributable to payments made under the TRA, and (iii) deductions attributable to imputed interest pursuant to the TRA. The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of any of cash savings that it realizes.

The Company has not recognized a $248.3 million liability under the TRA after concluding it was not probable that such TRA Payments would be paid based on its estimates of future taxable income. No payments were made to the Continuing Equity Owners pursuant to the TRA during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The amounts payable under the TRA will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the amount, character, and timing of the taxable income of Shift4 Payments, Inc. in the future. If the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets applicable to the tax attributes referenced above is released in a future period, the TRA liability may be considered probable at that time and recorded within earnings.

If all of the remaining Continuing Equity Owners were to exchange all of their LLC Units, the Company does not expect the deferred tax asset or TRA liability to vary substantially from the amounts reported in the 2021 Form 10-K/A. The actual amount of deferred tax assets and related liabilities are impacted by the timing of the exchanges, the valuation of Shift4 Corporation, the price of the Company’s shares of Class A common stock at the time of the exchange, and the tax rates then in effect.

In the third and fourth quarters of 2021, the Company incurred $1.1 million in costs associated with a proposed Follow-on Offering that are reimbursable by Searchlight. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, are included in "Accounts receivable, net" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In February 2021, the Company accepted the transfer of the right to select a participant for one seat on board Inspiration4, the first all-civilian mission to space, from the Founder, who is also the commander of the mission. The right was transferred to the Company as a non-cash contribution and recorded at its estimated fair value of $2.1 million in “Additional paid-in capital” on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022, and expensed within “Advertising and marketing” on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in March 2021 when the participant was selected for the mission through a contest held by the Company.

In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred a significant amount of nonrecurring expenses to integrate, rebrand and promote 3dcart to Shift4Shop in conjunction with the Inspiration4 announcement. Certain expenses, totaling $0.1 million, were directly associated with the Inspiration4 mission and were reimbursable by the Founder. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, a $0.1 million receivable from the Founder was recorded as "Accounts receivable" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In March 2021, the Founder, through a wholly-owned special purpose vehicle (“SPV”), entered into a variable prepaid forward contract (“VPF Contract”) with an unaffiliated dealer (“Dealer”), covering approximately 2.0 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The VPF Contract is scheduled to settle on specified dates in February, March and April 2023, at which time the actual number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to be delivered by the SPV will be determined based on the price of the Company’s Class A common stock on such dates relative to the forward floor price of $73.19 per share and the forward cap price of $137.24 per share, with the aggregate number not to exceed approximately 2.0 million shares, which is the number of shares of Company’s Class B common stock and LLC units pledged by Rook to secure its obligations under the contract. Subject to certain conditions, the SPV can also elect to settle the VPF Contract in cash and thereby retain full ownership of the pledged shares and units.

In September 2021, the Founder, through the SPV, entered into two VPF Contracts with a Dealer, one covering approximately 2.18 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and the other covering approximately 2.26 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The VPF Contracts are both scheduled to settle on specified dates in June, July, August and September 2024, at which time the actual number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to be delivered by the SPV will be determined based on the price of the Company’s Class A common stock on such dates relative to the forward floor price of approximately $66.4240 per share and the forward cap price of approximately $112.09 per share for the contract covering approximately 2.18 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, and to the forward floor price of $66.4240 per share and the forward cap price of approximately $120.39 per share for the contract covering approximately 2.26 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, with the aggregate number not to exceed approximately 4.44 million shares, which is the aggregate number of shares of Company’s Class B common stock and their associated common units of Shift4 Payments, LLC pledged by the SPV to secure its obligations under the contracts. Subject to certain conditions, the SPV can also elect to settle the VPF Contracts in cash and thereby retain full ownership of the pledged shares and units.

If Rook were to default on its obligations under the VPF Contracts and fail to cure such default, the Dealer would have the right to exchange the pledged Class B stock and LLC interests for an equal number of the Company’s Class A common stock, and sell such Class A common stock to satisfy Rook’s obligation.

17.Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these, or other matters, may arise from time to time that may harm the Company’s business. In August 2021, TSYS, a Global Payments company and an important vendor to the Company, experienced a significant platform outage resulting in a payment processing service disruption that lasted for several hours. TSYS is utilized by many major credit card issuers and payment processors, which meant the impact of the outage was felt by many card accepting merchants and cardholders across the nation. The Company took steps to lessen the financial impact to its merchants and partners due to the TSYS outage and is seeking compensation through a variety of channels, including engaging with the responsible party.

The Company is currently not aware of any other legal proceedings or claims that the Company believes will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results.

18.Stockholders’ Equity/Members’ Deficit

Stock Repurchases

On December 16, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized commencement of a stock repurchase program. The stock repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Common Stock”) and will expire on December 31, 2022.

Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization.

This program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of Common Stock and the program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company repurchased 378,475 shares of Common stock for $21.1 million, including commissions paid, at an average price paid of $55.81 per share.

In the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 301,510 shares of Common stock for $17.2 million, including commissions paid, at an average price paid of $56.78 per share. As of March 31, 2022, approximately $61.8 million remained available for future purchases under the program.

2020 Incentive Award Plan

In June 2020, the Company adopted the 2020 Incentive Award Plan (“2020 Plan”), which provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock dividend equivalents, stock payments, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”), stock appreciation rights, and other stock or cash awards. A maximum of 418,973 shares of the Company’s common stock is available for issuance under the 2020 Plan. The number of shares available for issuance is subject to an annual increase on the first day of each year beginning in 2021 and ending in and including 2030, equal to the lesser of (1) 1% of the shares outstanding (on an as-converted basis, taking into account any and all securities convertible into, or exercisable, exchangeable or redeemable for, shares of Common Stock (including LLC Interests of Shift4 Payments, LLC)) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (2) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Board.

On April 28, 2022, the Board adopted the amendment and restatement of the Shift4 Payments, Inc. 2020 Incentive Award Plan (the “Restated Equity Plan”), subject to stockholder approval. The Restated Equity Plan will become effective if it is approved by the stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held on June 10, 2022. If approved, the Restated Equity Plan would (a) increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Restated Equity Plan to a total of 7,500,000 shares of common stock available for issuance, (b) approve an increase in the annual “evergreen” increase to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the Restated Equity Plan from 1% of the shares outstanding to 2% of the shares outstanding, (c) limit the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of incentive stock options to no more than 7,500,000 shares, and (d) extend the term of the Restated Equity Plan to ten years from the date it was adopted by the Board.

(Unaudited) (in millions, except share, unit and per unit amounts)

The grant date fair value of RSUs and PRSUs subject to continued service or those that vest immediately was determined based on the price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the grant date.

21.Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share under the two-class method.

Basic net loss per share has been computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the same period. Shares issued during the period and shares reacquired during the period are weighted for the portion of the period in which the shares were outstanding. Diluted net loss per share has been computed in a manner consistent with that of basic net loss per share while giving effect to all shares of potentially dilutive common stock that were outstanding during the period.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
Net loss	$	(13.2)	$	(51.0)
Less: Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests	5.7		18.2
Net loss attributable to Shift4 Payments, Inc.	$	(7.5)	$	(32.8)
Adjustment to net loss attributable to common stockholders	—		0.2
Net loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(7.5)	$	(32.6)

Numerator - Basic and Diluted:
Net loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(7.5)	$	(32.6)
Allocation of net loss among common stockholders:
Net loss allocated to Class A common stock	$	(6.9)	$	(26.4)
Net loss allocated to Class C common stock	$	(0.6)	$	(6.2)

Denominator - Basic and Diluted:
Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding	52,119,378		42,667,754
Weighted average shares of Class C common stock outstanding	4,573,372		10,009,852

Net loss per share - Basic and Diluted:
Class A common stock	$	(0.13)	$	(0.62)
Class C common stock	$	(0.13)	$	(0.62)

Overview

We are a leading independent provider of payment acceptance and payment processing and technology solutions in the United States based on total volume of payments processed. We have achieved our leadership position through decades of solving business and operational challenges facing our customers overall commerce needs. We distribute our services through our network of software partners (“ISVs”) and value-added resellers (“VARs”). For our software partners, we offer a single integration to an end-to-end payments offering, a proprietary gateway and a robust suite of technology solutions to enhance the value of their software and simplify payment acceptance. For our merchants, we provide a seamless, unified consumer experience as an alternative to relying on multiple providers to accept card-based payments, while providing the digital tools necessary to provide their end-customers a seamless commerce experience.

At the heart of our business is our payments platform. Our payments platform is a full suite of integrated payment products and services that can be used across multiple channels (in-store, online, mobile and tablet-based) and industry verticals, including:

•end-to-end payment processing for a broad range of payment types;

•merchant acquiring;

•proprietary omni-channel gateway capable of multiple methods of mobile, contactless and QR code-based payments;

•complementary software integrations;

•full eCommerce capabilities, including web-store design, hosting, shopping cart management and fulfillment integrations;

•integrated and mobile POS solutions;

Table of Contents

•security and risk management solutions; and

•reporting and analytical tools.

In addition, we offer innovative technology solutions that go beyond payment processing. Some of our solutions are developed in-house, such as business intelligence and POS software, while others are powered by our network of complementary third-party applications. Our focus on innovation combined with our product-driven culture enables us to create scalable technology solutions that benefit from an extensive library of intellectual property.

We have a partner-centric distribution approach. We market and sell our solutions through a diversified network of over 7,000 software partners, which consists of ISVs and VARs. ISVs are technology providers that develop commerce-enabling software suites with which they can bundle our payments platform. VARs are organizations that provide distribution support for ISVs and act as trusted and localized service providers to merchants by providing them with software and services. Together, our ISVs and VARs provide us immense distribution scale and provide our merchants with front-line service and support.

Our end-to-end payments offering combines our payments platform, including our proprietary gateway and breadth of software integrations, and our suite of technology solutions to create a compelling value proposition for our merchants. Our end-to-end payment volume was $13.4 billion and $8.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This end-to-end payment volume contributed approximately 69% and 61% of gross revenue less network fees for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Our merchants range from small to medium sized businesses (“SMBs”) to large enterprises across numerous verticals including food and beverage, hospitality, stadiums and arenas, gaming, specialty retail, non-profits and eCommerce.

Recent Developments

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

While great progress has been made in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, the pandemic remains a global challenge and continues to impact international travel and corporate travel patterns, both of which remain below pre-pandemic levels. The Omicron variant began to adversely impact our processing volumes in December 2021, but by full-month March 2022, end-to-end volumes had recovered and exceeded volumes in the prior year period. However, our financial performance could be adversely impacted by any local or government-imposed pandemic restrictions, although we are currently unable to predict the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact our future business operations, financial performance and results of operations. For a further discussion of the risks, uncertainties and actions taken in response to COVID-19, see the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. and “Human Capital” in Part I, Item 1. in our 2021 Form 10-K/A.

Factors Impacting Our Business and Results of Operations

In general, our results of operations are impacted by factors such as adoption of software solutions that are integrated with our payment solutions, continued investment in our core capabilities, ongoing pursuit of strategic acquisitions, and macro-level economic trends.

Increased adoption of software-integrated payments. We primarily generate revenue through fees assessed on end-to-end payment volume initiated through our integrated software partners. These fees include volume-based payments, transaction fees and subscription fees for software and technology solutions. We expect to grow this volume by attracting new integrated software partners through our market-leading and innovative solutions. These integrated software partners have proven to be an effective and efficient way of acquiring new merchants and servicing these relationships.

Continued focus on converting our gateway-only customers to our end-to-end payments offering. Currently, a large percentage of our merchant base relies only on our proprietary gateway technology solution to process card-based payments. However, as more of these gateway-only merchants choose to also adopt our end-to-end payment solutions, our revenue per merchant and merchant retention are expected to increase given the fees we generate on end-to-end payment processing services are significantly higher than the per transaction fees we earn on gateway-only services.

Mix of our merchant base. We continue to experience a shift to higher average revenue and higher average volume per merchant. The revenue and volume contribution of each merchant within our portfolio is affected by several factors, including the amount of payment volume processed per merchant, the industry vertical in which the merchant operates, and the number of solutions implemented by the merchant. The size and sophistication of our average merchant continues to increase and we may experience shifts in the average revenue per merchant and the weighted average pricing of the portfolio.

Ability to attract and retain software partners. A key pillar of our Shift4 Model is our partner-centric distribution approach. We work with our software partners who rely on our suite of payment-related technology solutions to simplify the commerce needs of their end clients. Our ability to attract and retain our software partners is essential for our future growth and our ability to service our existing base of merchants. To this end, it is critical we maintain our product leadership through continued investment in innovative technology solutions as a means to ensure we retain our current software partners while attracting new software partners.

Investment in product, distribution and operations. We make significant investments in both new product development and existing product enhancements, such as mobile point-of-sale, cloud enablement for our software partners’ existing systems, and contactless payments, including QR code based mobile payment technologies. New product features and functionality are brought to market through varied distribution and promotional activities including collaborative efforts with industry leading software providers, trade shows, and customer conferences. Further, we will continue to invest in operational support in order to maintain service levels expected by our merchant customers. We believe these investments in product development and software integrations will lead to long-term growth and profitability.

Pursuit of strategic acquisitions. From time to time, we may pursue acquisitions as part of our ongoing growth strategy that includes adding complementary technology capabilities to service our base of customers and adding critical sales and support capabilities within a specific industry vertical or geography. While these acquisitions are intended to add long-term value, in the short term they may add redundant operating expenses or additional carrying costs until the underlying value is unlocked.

Economic conditions and resulting consumer spending trends. Changes in macro-level consumer spending trends, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, could affect the amount of volume processed on our platform, thus resulting in fluctuations in our quarterly reported revenue. Our quarterly revenue is also impacted by seasonal, consumer spending habit patterns, which historically have resulted in higher volumes and revenue being reported in our second and third fiscal quarters.

Key Financial Definitions

The following briefly describes the components of revenue and expenses as presented in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Gross revenue consists primarily of payments-based revenue and subscription and other revenues:

Payments-based revenue includes fees for payment processing services and gateway services. Payment processing fees are primarily driven as a percentage of end-to-end payment volume. They may also have a fixed fee, a minimum monthly usage fee and a fee based on transactions. Gateway services, data encryption and tokenization fees are primarily driven by per transaction fees as well as monthly usage fees.

Subscription and other revenues include software as a service (“SaaS”) fees for point-of-sale systems and terminals provided to merchants and our Shift4Shop eCommerce platform. Point-of-sale and terminal SaaS fees are assessed based on the type and quantity of equipment deployed to the merchant. Shift4Shop SaaS fees are based on the eCommerce platform chosen by the merchant. SaaS fees also include statement fees, fees for our proprietary business intelligence software, annual fees, regulatory compliance fees and other miscellaneous services such as help desk support and warranties on equipment. Subscription and other revenues also includes revenue derived from software license sales, hardware sales, third-party residuals and fees charged for technology support.

Cost of sales consists of interchange and processing fees, residual commissions, equipment and other costs of sales:

Interchange and processing fees represent payments to card issuing banks and assessments paid to card associations based on transaction processing volume. These also include fees incurred by third-parties for data transmission and settlement of funds, such as processors and sponsor banks.

Residual commissions represent monthly payments to third-party resellers, including ISVs. These costs are typically based on a percentage of payment-based revenue.

Equipment represents our costs of devices that are purchased by the merchant.

Other costs of sales includes amortization of capitalized software development costs, capitalized software, acquired technology and capitalized customer acquisition costs. It also includes incentives and shipping and handling costs related to the delivery of devices. Capitalized software development costs are amortized using the straight-line method on a product-by-product basis over the estimated useful life of the software. Capitalized software, acquired technology and capitalized acquisition costs are amortized on a straight-line basis in accordance with our accounting policies.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation, benefits and other expenses associated with corporate management, finance, human resources, shared services, information technology and other activities.

Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation and amortization expenses related to merchant relationships, trademarks and trade names, residual commission buyouts, equipment, leasehold improvements, and other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. We depreciate and amortize our assets on a straight-line basis in accordance with our accounting policies. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the estimated life of the leasehold improvement or the remaining lease term. Maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the useful life of the respective assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which range from two years to twenty years.

Professional fees consists of costs incurred for accounting, tax, legal, and consulting services.

Advertising and marketing expenses relate to costs incurred to participate in industry tradeshows and dealer conferences, advertising initiatives to build brand awareness, and expenses to fulfill loyalty program rewards earned by software partners.

Restructuring expenses relate to strategic initiatives we have taken that include, but are not limited to, severance or separation costs and other exit and disposal costs. These expenses are typically not reflective of our ongoing operations.

Transaction-related expenses relate to debt issuance or modification costs that are not capitalizable. These expenses are typically not reflective of our ongoing operations.

Loss on extinguishment of debt represents losses recorded for unamortized capitalized financing costs associated with debt prepayments.

Other income, net primarily consists of other non-operating items.

Interest expense consists of interest costs incurred on our borrowings and amortization of capitalized financing costs.

Income tax benefit (provision) represents federal, state and local taxes based on income in multiple domestic jurisdictions.

Table of Contents

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests arises from net loss from the non-owned portion of businesses where we have a controlling interest but less than 100% ownership. This represents the noncontrolling interests in Shift4 Payments, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries, which is comprised of the loss allocated to Continuing Equity Owners as a result of their proportional ownership of LLC Interests.

We have changed the presentation of this table from the presentation in the Original Form 10-Q to remove the “Gross profit” line item and update the “Other costs of sales” line item to indicate it is exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense shown separately for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

(a)Depreciation and amortization expense includes depreciation of equipment under lease of $7.0 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Gross revenue

Gross revenue was $401.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $239.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $162.6 million or 67.9%. Gross revenue is comprised of payments-based revenue and subscription and other revenues.

Payments-based revenue was $371.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $215.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $155.6 million or 72.1%. The increase in payments-based revenue was primarily driven by the increase in end-to-end payment volume of $5.4 billion, or 68%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Subscription and other revenues were $30.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $23.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $7.0 million or 29.9%. The increase in subscription and other revenues is driven primarily by the VenueNext, Postec and The Giving Block acquisitions, which collectively contributed $6.0 million more to subscription and other revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. In addition, software license sales increased $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Network fees

Network fees were $253.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $141.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $111.3 million or 78.5%. This increase is correlated with the increase in end-to-end payment volume as described above.

Gross revenue less network fees was $148.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $97.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $51.3 million or 52.6%. The increase in gross revenue less network fees was largely correlated with the increase in end-to-end payment volume. See “—Key performance indicators and non-GAAP measures” for a reconciliation of gross profit to gross revenue less network fees.

Other costs of sales

Other costs of sales was $64.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $45.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $18.5 million, or 40.5%. This increase was primarily a result of:

•higher residual commissions, which increased other costs of sales $16.2 million, were driven by the growth in gross revenue less network fees;

•higher variable costs associated with processing fees of $2.3 million;

•the VenueNext, Postec and The Giving Block acquisitions which collectively increased other cost of sales $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022;

•higher capitalized acquisition cost amortization, which increased other costs of sales $1.2 million, related to deal bonuses paid to VARs to obtain processing contracts;

•higher equipment sales, which increased other costs of sales $0.6 million; and

•higher capitalized software development amortization, which increased other costs of sales $0.6 million; partially offset by:

•higher than normal chargeback losses during the three months ended March 31, 2021 driven by the business failure of one merchant causing $5.2 million in estimated unrecoverable chargeback transactions.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $66.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $53.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $12.7 million or 23.7%. The increase was primarily due to higher employee-related expenses of $6.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, as a result of our continued growth and expansion, as well as higher equity-based compensation expense of $2.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. In addition, the acquisitions of VenueNext, Postec and The Giving Block collectively increased general and administrative expenses $3.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Depreciation and amortization expense

Depreciation and amortization expense was $17.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $1.9 million or 12.3%. The increase was primarily due to higher deprecation for equipment under lease of $2.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Professional fees

Professional fees were $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $2.5 million or 40.3%. The increase was due to higher acquisition-related costs.

Advertising and marketing expenses

Advertising and marketing expenses were $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $20.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $17.4 million or 86.6%. The decrease was primarily due to expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2021 related to the integration of 3dcart and its rebranding as Shift4Shop that were nonrecurring in nature. This was partially offset by the VenueNext, Postec and The Giving Block acquisitions, which collectively increased advertising and marketing expenses $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Table of Contents

Transaction-related expenses

Transaction-related expenses were $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. These expenses are associated with a consent solicitation for the 2026 Senior Notes in March 2022.

Income tax benefit (provision)

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was (32.0)%, compared to the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of 1.6%.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the loss allocated to the noncontrolling interest, the full valuation allowance on Shift4 Payments, Inc. and VenueNext, Inc. in the United States, and a $6.4 million income tax benefit related to the valuation allowance release due to acquired deferred tax liabilities from The Giving Block. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the loss allocated to the noncontrolling interest and the full valuation allowance on Shift4 Payments, Inc. and VenueNext, Inc. in the United States.

We use supplemental measures of our performance which are derived from our consolidated financial information but which are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include: gross revenue less network fees, which includes interchange and assessment fees; earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”); and Adjusted EBITDA. Gross revenue less network fees represents a key performance metric that management uses to measure changes in the mix and value derived from our customer base as we continue to execute our strategy to expand our reach to serve larger, complex merchants. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary financial performance measure used by management to evaluate its business and monitor results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted for certain non-cash and other nonrecurring items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations. These adjustments include acquisition, restructuring and integration costs, equity-based compensation expense and other nonrecurring items. The financial impact of certain elements of these activities is often large relative to the Company's overall financial performance and can adversely affect the comparability of our operating results and investors' ability to analyze the business from period to period.

Table of Contents

We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results allows management to better understand our consolidated financial performance from period to period and better project our future consolidated financial performance as forecasts are developed at a level of detail different from that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide our stakeholders with useful information to help them evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our operating performance and enabling them to make more meaningful period to period comparisons. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance in isolation from or as a substitute for net income (loss) prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Reconciliations of gross revenue less network fees, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented below. We encourage you to review the reconciliations in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. In future fiscal periods, we may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We have historically sourced our liquidity requirements primarily with cash flow from operations and, when needed, with borrowings under our Credit Facilities or equity transactions. The principal uses for liquidity have been debt service, capital expenditures (including research and development) and funds required to finance acquisitions. Given the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the restaurant and hospitality industries, we continue to evaluate and take action, as necessary, to preserve adequate liquidity and ensure we can continue to operate during these uncertain times.

We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future. Shift4 Payments, Inc. is a holding company that does not conduct any business operations of its own. As a result, Shift4 Payments, Inc.’s ability to pay cash dividends on its common stock, if any, is dependent upon cash dividends and distributions and other transfers from Shift4 Payments, LLC. The amounts available to Shift4 Payments, Inc. to pay cash dividends are subject to the covenants and distribution restrictions in its subsidiaries’ agreements governing its indebtedness, including covenants in such agreements providing that the payments of dividends or other distributions are subject to annual limitations based on our market capitalization.

The following table sets forth summary cash flow information for the periods presented.


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Total	$	(42.5)	$	(82.9)

(a)Amounts are restated. See Note 2 for more information.

Operating activities

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities consists of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in other assets and liabilities.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities of $30.8 million was primarily a result of:

•net loss of $13.2 million, which is adjusted for non-cash expenses, including depreciation and amortization of $29.1 million, equity-based compensation of $16.9 million, deferred income taxes of $(6.3) million and provision for bad debts of $3.0 million; partially offset by:

•changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(0.9) million, which includes $4.8 million of additional funds deposited in our sponsor bank merchant settlement account to facilitate gross card transaction deposits for those customers we bill on a monthly, versus a daily basis.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities of $7.1 million was primarily a result of:

•net loss of $51.0 million, adjusted for non-cash expenses, including depreciation and amortization of $25.3 million, equity-based compensation of $14.0 million, provision for bad debts of $6.7 million and amortization of capitalized financing cost of $1.2 million; plus

•changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(3.9) million, which is primarily a result of $8.8 million of funds deposited in our sponsor bank merchant settlement account to facilitate gross card transaction deposits for those customers we bill on a monthly, versus a daily basis, partially offset by higher deferred revenue of $6.6 million primarily due to the timing of annual compliance fees billed to our merchants.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities includes cash paid for acquisitions, purchases of future commission streams of our software partners, purchases of property, plant and equipment, purchases of equipment to be leased, capitalized software development costs, and investments in non-marketable securities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $37.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $34.5 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $72.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This increase was primarily the result of:

•the acquisition of The Giving Block in March 2022 for $106.9 million in aggregate purchase consideration, including $12.6 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $4.2 million;

•higher capitalized software development costs of $4.4 million;

•higher residual commission buyouts of $3.8 million; partially offset by:

•the acquisition of VenueNext in March 2021 for $68.5 million in aggregate purchase consideration, including $40.6 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $1.6 million; and

•the investment in SpaceX of $16.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $35.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $32.0 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This increase was primarily the result of:

•payments for the repurchase of common stock of $18.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022;

•higher employee taxes paid on vested RSUs of $9.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to three months ended March 31, 2021; and

•payments associated with solicitation for the 2026 Senior Notes in March 2022 of $4.5 million.

Convertible Notes, Senior Notes and Credit Facilities

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $1,772.5 million total principal amount of debt outstanding, including $690.0 million of 2025 Convertible Notes, $632.5 million of 2027 Convertible Notes and $450.0 million of 2026 Senior Notes. See Note 11 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information about our debt.

Table of Contents

On March 17, 2022, we announced the expiration of our Consent Solicitation Statement (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”), dated as of March 11, 2022, to amend the indenture related to the 2026 Senior Notes. In connection with the results of the Consent Solicitation Statement, we received the requisite consents to amend the indenture governing the 2026 Senior Notes and entered into a supplemental indenture to allow for the repurchase of capital stock as part of the Market Capitalization exception under the original indenture.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Revolving Credit Facility has a borrowing capacity of $99.5 million, net of a $0.5 million letter of credit. As of March 31, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Stock repurchases

On December 16, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the commencement of a stock repurchase program. The stock repurchase program authorizes us to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Common Stock”) and will expire on December 31, 2022.

In the first quarter of 2022, we repurchased 301,510 shares of Common stock for $17.2 million, including commissions paid, at an average price paid of $56.78 per share, which is recorded as “Treasury stock” on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2022, approximately $61.8 million remained available for future purchases under the program.

In April 2022, we repurchased 1,126,277 shares of Common stock for $61.3 million, including commissions paid, at an average price paid of $54.39 per share. See Note 18 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

Cash Requirements

Our material cash requirements include the following contractual obligations.

Debt

As of March 31, 2022, we had $1,772.5 million of fixed rate debt outstanding with maturities beginning in 2025. Future interest payments associated with the outstanding debt total $121.5 million with $24.0 million payable within twelve months.

Leases

As of March 31, 2022, we are obligated under non-cancellable operating leases for our premises, which expire through November 2030. Rent expense incurred under operating leases, which totaled $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, is included in “General and administrative expenses” in our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and results of operations for the periods described is based on our audited consolidated financial statements, and our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, each of which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these historical financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Additionally, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated. However, we have made accounting estimates for our allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of our contingent liabilities, other intangible assets and goodwill based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Table of Contents

We have provided a summary of our significant accounting policies in Note 1 in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The following critical accounting discussion pertains to accounting policies management believes are most critical to the portrayal of our historical financial condition and results of operations and that require significant, difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Other companies in similar businesses may use different estimation policies and methodologies, which may impact the comparability of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows to those of other companies.

New accounting pronouncements

For information regarding new accounting pronouncements, and the impact of these pronouncements on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, if any, refer to Note 1 in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

JOBS Act

Prior to December 31, 2021, we were an emerging growth company (“EGC”) as defined by the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act provides that an EGC can take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an EGC to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We had elected to avail ourselves of this exemption prior to December 31, 2021, when we were an EGC, and as a result, our financial statements prior to that date may not have been comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies. As of December 31, 2021, we are no longer an EGC.

Subject to certain conditions, as an EGC we also were able to rely on certain of the exemptions and reduced reporting requirements of the JOBS Act, including without limitation, from providing an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and from complying with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, known as the auditor discussion and analysis. Because we no longer qualify as an EGC, we are no longer able to take advantage of the extended transition period for the adoption of certain accounting standards or of the reduced disclosure and other benefits available to EGCs, including our exemption from providing our auditor’s attestation on our system of internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are subject to risks relating to interest rates.

As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately $1,772.5 million of fixed rate debt outstanding pursuant to the Notes, with a fair value of $1,716.8 million, none of which was subject to an interest rate hedge. Since these Notes bear interest at fixed rates, they do not result in any financial statement risk associated with changes in interest rates. However, the fair value of these Notes fluctuates when interest rates change.

We also have a Revolving Credit Facility available to us with available borrowing capacity of $99.5 million, net of a $0.5 million letter of credit. We are obligated to pay interest on loans under the Revolving Credit Facility as well as other customary fees, including an upfront fee and an unused commitment fee based on our debt rating. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, if any, bear interest at floating rates. As a result, we are exposed to the risk related to fluctuations in interest rate to the extent of our borrowings. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I, Item 2. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A and Note 11 in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act).

Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2022, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level. In light of the material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted principles. Accordingly, management concluded that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods presented.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management identified a material weakness related to a lack of an effectively designed control activity over the classification of customer acquisition costs within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The associated error related to the historical classification of customer acquisition costs within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows resulted in the restatement of the Company’s previously filed consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 and for each of the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2021, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022. Additionally, the material weakness could result in a material misstatement of the aforementioned account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Remediation Plan for the Material Weakness

In order to remediate the material weakness, the Company’s management plans to enhance the design of its control activity over the classification of customer acquisition costs within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the newly designed control activity operates for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the control is operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are, from time to time, party to various claims and legal proceedings arising out of our ordinary course of business, but we do not believe that any of these existing claims or proceedings will have a material effect on our business, consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Investing in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. of our 2021 Form 10-K/A, the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, including our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes, as well as our other public filings with the SEC, before deciding to invest in our Class A common stock. There have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors previously disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K/A. The occurrence of any of the events described therein could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or prospects. In such an event, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The following indicates our purchases of Class A common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2022.


Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid Per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs (a)	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased under the Plans or Programs (in millions)
January 1-31, 2022	245,700	$	56.48	624,175	$	65.0
February 1-28, 2022	—	—		624,175	65.0
March 1-31, 2022	55,810	58.11		679,985	61.8
Total	301,510

(a) On December 16, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had initiated a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $100.0 million of shares of its Class A common stock through December 31, 2022. Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization. The exact number of shares to be repurchased by the Company is not guaranteed and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion and without prior notice.
