We power the Experience Economy. Enabling businesses to deliver the Moments that Matter. Q4 2025 Shareholder Letter | Investors.shift4.com note: will update one of these imagtes Images Powered by Experiences Powered by Shift4. Exhibit 99.1
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators Forward-Looking Statements 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures include: gross revenue less network fees, which includes interchange and adjustment fees; non- GAAP net income; non-GAAP EPS; free cash flow; Adjusted Free Cash Flow; earnings before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”); Adjusted EBITDA; Adjusted EBITDA conversion rate; and Adjusted EBITDA margin. 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. Non-GAAP net income represents net income adjusted for certain non-cash and other nonrecurring items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations, such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition, restructuring and integration costs, revaluation of contingent liabilities, gain on sale of subsidiaries, impairment of intangible assets, loss on extinguishment of debt, gain (loss) on investments in securities, change in TRA liability, equity-based compensation, and foreign exchange and other nonrecurring items. 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, revaluation of contingent liabilities, gain on sale of subsidiaries, impairment of intangible assets, loss on extinguishment of debt, gain (loss) on investments in securities, change in TRA liability, equity-based compensation, and foreign exchange and other nonrecurring items. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by gross revenue less network fees. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for certain non- discretionary capital expenditures. Adjusted Free Cash Flow represents free cash flow further adjusted for certain transactions that are not indicative of future operating cash flows, including acquisition, restructuring and integration costs, other nonrecurring expenses, and nonrecurring strategic capital expenditures that are not indicative of ongoing activities. We believe Adjusted Free Cash Flow is useful to measure the funds generated in a given period that are available to invest in the business, to repurchase stock and to make strategic decisions. The Adjusted EBITDA conversion rate is calculated as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA. 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 and, in the case of Adjusted Free Cash Flow, our liquidity, 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, in the case of Adjusted Free Cash Flow, our liquidity, 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 letter. 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. 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 letter. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but 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, including, but not limited to, the following: the inability to integrate the Global Blue business successfully or realize the synergies and related benefits; the substantial and increasingly intense competition worldwide in the financial services, payments and payment technology industries; potential changes in the competitive landscape, including disintermediation from other participants in the payments chain; the effect of global economic, political and other conditions on trends in consumer, business and government spending; fluctuations in inflation; our ability to anticipate and respond to changing industry trends and the needs and preferences of our merchants and consumers; our reliance on third-party vendors to provide products and services; risks associated with acquisitions; dispositions, and other strategic transactions; risks associated with our Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock; our inability to protect our IT systems and confidential information, as well as the IT systems of third parties we rely on, from continually evolving cybersecurity risks, security breaches or other technological risks; compliance with governmental regulation and other legal obligations, particularly related to privacy, data protection The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance, or in the case of Adjusted Free Cash Flow, as an indicator of liquidity, in isolation from or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross revenue less network fees, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS, free cash flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to, in each case, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented in Appendix - Financial Information. For the full year and Q1 2026, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of Gross revenue less network fees, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to Gross Profit, Net Income, and net cash provided by operating activities, respectively, the nearest comparable GAAP measures, without unreasonable efforts. 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. In addition, key performance indicators include volume, Blended Spread and margin. Volume is defined as the total dollar amount of payments that we deliver for settlement on behalf of our merchants. Included in volume are dollars routed via our international payments platform, alternative payment methods, including cryptocurrency, stored value, gift cards and stock donations, plus volume we route to third party merchant acquirers on behalf of strategic enterprise merchant relationships. We do maintain transaction processing on certain legacy platforms that are not defined as volume. Blended Spread represents the average yield Shift4 earns on the average volume processed for a given period after network fees. Blended Spread is calculated as payments-based revenue less gateway revenue and network fees for a given period divided by the volume processed for the same period. and information security, marketing across different markets where we conduct our business; risks associated with a variety of laws and regulations, including those relating to financial services, money-laundering, anti- bribery, sanctions, and counter-terrorist financing, consumer protection and cryptocurrencies; our ability to continue to expand our share of the existing payment processing markets or expand into new markets; additional risks associated with our expansion into international operations, including compliance with and changes in foreign regulations governmental policies, as well as exposure to foreign exchange rates; our ability to integrate and interoperate our services and products with a variety of operating systems, software, devices, and web browsers; and our dependence, in part, on our merchant and software partner relationships and strategic partnerships with various institutions to operate and grow our business, and the timing of any of the foregoing. These and other important factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this letter. Any such forward-looking statements represent management’s estimates as of the date of this letter. While we may elect to update such forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we disclaim any obligation to do so, even if subsequent events cause our views to change. 1 This letter contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Shift4 Payments, Inc. (“we,” “our,” the “Company,” or “Shift4”) intends 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 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Dear Fellow Shareholders, Jared Isaacman CEO jared@shift4.com As we close the books on 2025 and share our fourth-quarter results, I want to reflect on what has been a truly transformative year for our company. As you will see in the pages ahead, we had another strong quarter and are well positioned for the year ahead. Our quarterly financial performance delivered a combination of growth, profitability, and several quarterly records. We grew gross profit by 58% and gross revenue less network fees (GRLNF) by 51%, and delivered strong adjusted EBITDA margins of 50%. Diluted EPS for the quarter was $0.36 and Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $1.60 per share. The rapid growth of our vertical solutions can, at times, make it confusing for investors to understand the big picture. To simplify: We power the experience economy. We have been experts of the in- person commerce experience and grown steadily from small restaurants to the serving the largest resort, sports and entertainment environments in the U.S. Only recently, our acquisition of Global Blue and others has expanded our geographic reach by over 75 countries and provided us with a critical offering for luxury retail, further expanding our reach in the experience economy. In a world where AI is evolving rapidly and investors are struggling to pick the future winners, I will remind investors of this: We offer a physical payment experience in environments that demand a face-to-face interaction. We also focus predominantly on merchants that need a lot of software to run their business. As software solutions become easier to build, we believe larger merchants will still demand a platform within which they can combine a multitude of software suites into a single commerce experience for both their guests and employees. This is not to say we are in any way complacent. Maintaining relevancy and growth throughout our 28 year history has always demanded that we be both paranoid and adaptable. To that end we see, and applied, AI across numerous facets of our business. On the operational side we have forward deployed engineers from several leading AI companies working side-by side with our team to drive efficiencies in our onboarding and customer service procedures. We have already seen numerous benefits, most notably in our ability to launch products in new countries. Our software development and QA efforts have benefited from increased speed to market as well. We also have several distinct advantages where AI can deliver a better product experience and insights within our own products. Our significant data assets in luxury retail, restaurants and sports & entertainment are much more easily accessed and presented with modern AI tools as just one live example. Our products attract enviable and demanding customers around the globe. To better illustrate how we are monetizing the Experience Economy, we have disaggregated our gross revenue less network fees into three distinct pillars. In Q4, this consisted of $340 million of payments-based revenue less network fees, $125 million of tax-free shopping (TFS) revenue, and $145 million of subscription and other revenue. Our north star remains payments-based revenue less network fees and our strategies are all in support of growing this important pillar. By disaggregating revenue into these pillars, shareholders can also track progress across our tax free shopping, which is an excellent business with a leading market share, limited competition and world-class customers, but also subject to its own volatility. Similarly, subscription and other revenue can be volatile as we run our carrots and sticks playbook against recently acquired businesses. I believe this will be helpful as investors track our progress in the future. V4 - DRAFTS CIRCULATED VIA EMAIL (WORD DOC)
The acquisition of Global Blue represented a step-function increase in the pace of progress for Shift4. We have acquired a highly unique product capability that is deeply intertwined within the critical workflows of many of the world’s most well-known luxury brands. We have the benefit of an excellent team operating all over the world, and we view 2026 as an important year given it will be our first full year as a combined company. We are currently scaling our go-to-market cross-sell efforts throughout Europe, and remain excited about the opportunities to unlock meaningful revenue synergies in the months and years ahead. In the near term, Global Blue is gross margin accretive, but slightly dilutive to our adjusted EBITDA margins and also to working capital. However, as revenue synergies are realized, I anticipate Global Blue's adjusted EBITDA margins will begin to trend towards that of Shift4, which in turn will benefit our adjusted FCF conversion levels. As mentioned earlier, the global scale and reach of Shift4 has continued to improve over the past year, and our business is structurally better than any time in our history. We do not believe this is reflected in our valuation, which has seen compression along with many in the market. As such, we prioritized share repurchases but also continued to pursue growth investments and see where M&A could act as an accelerant. We will continue to balance near term return on capital with longer term initiatives that deliver durable earnings power for our shareholders. Finally, we are introducing our full-year 2026 guidance. Our 2026 financial guidance calls for 26%-31% gross revenue less network fee growth. Our 2026 revenue guidance assumes mid-teen payments-based revenue less network fee growth within our core America’s business and high-20% worldwide payments-based revenue less network fees, offset by mid-single-digit growth in TFS and low-single-digit growth in subscription and other. As always, never hesitate to reach out with questions, comments, or referrals. Boldly Forward, V5 - DRAFTS CIRCULATED VIA EMAIL (WORD DOC) Taylor Lauber Chief Executive Officer tlauber@shift4.com

Consistent track record of delivering ROIC>WACC across all investment phases ROIC is calculated as Adjusted Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) divided by invested capital. NOPAT is calculated as GAAP EBIT adjusted for (i) certain non-cash and other nonrecurring items, (ii) adds amortization of acquired intangibles, and (iii) applies a tax rate of 26%. Invested capital is calculated as Net Working Capital (excluding cash and debt) plus non-current assets adjusted to (i) exclude deferred tax assets and (ii) treats other intangible assets on a gross basis.

This approach provides a view of earnings per share assuming conversion of the preferred stock which will happen on, or before, May 1, 2028. The sum of quarterly per share amounts may not add up to the FY 2025 amounts due to the timing of the issuance of the mandatory convertible preferred stock mid-year, the LLC Interests being anti-dilutive in Q4 2025 but dilutive for FY 2025, and/or rounding.
