Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Business, Consolidation and Presentation
Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to herein collectively as "Priority," "PRTH," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us," unless the context requires otherwise. Priority is a provider of merchant acquiring, integrated payment software, money transmission services and commercial payments solutions.
The Company operates on a calendar year ending each December 31 and on four calendar quarters ending on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.
The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements.
NCI represents the equity interest in certain consolidated entities in which the Company owns less than 100% of the profit interests. Changes in the Company's ownership interest while the Company retains its controlling interest are accounted for as equity transactions. As of September 30, 2023, there was no income or loss attributable to NCI in accordance with the applicable operating agreements.
In the opinion of the Company's management, all known adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for interim periods have been made. These adjustments consist of normal recurring accruals and estimates that affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. These Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The results for the quarter and nine months ended September, 30, 2023 include the results of the Plastiq business acquired through Chapter 11 bankruptcy process on July 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
For the Plastiq business that was acquired on July 31, 2023 (refer to Note 2. Acquisitions ,) the Company accepts card payments from its customers and processes disbursements to their vendors. For these transactions, the Company acts as merchant of record, therefore, considered as the principal and accordingly presents its revenue on a gross basis. The Company also offers

Table of Contents
volume rebates as an incentive to increase business and customer engagement. These rebates are presented as net of revenue. Transaction processing costs, including interchange fees, are presented as costs of revenue.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivables include dues from the Company's sponsor banks (for revenues earned, net of related interchange and processing fees, and do not bear interest), agents, merchants and other customers, stated net of allowance for current expected credit losses for any uncollectible amounts.
Foreign Currency
The Company's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Indian subsidiary of the Company is Indian Rupee (i.e. local currency of Republic of India). The functional currency of the Canadian subsidiary of the Company is the Canadian Dollar. Accordingly, assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate on the last day of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate in effect during the reporting period. Translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). This new guidance changes how entities account for credit impairment for trade and other receivables, as well as for certain financial assets and other instruments. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current "incurred loss" model with an "expected loss" model. Under the "incurred loss" model, a loss (or allowance) is recognized only when an event has occurred (such as a payment delinquency) that causes the entity to believe that a loss is probable (i.e., that it has been "incurred"). Under the "expected loss" model, a loss (or allowance) is recognized upon initial recognition of the asset that reflects all future events that leads to a loss being realized, regardless of whether it is probable that the future event will occur. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023 using the modified-retrospective approach. The implementation of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, the Company modified its accounting policy to conform with the requirements of the adoption of this standard.
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting , which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the SOFR. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contract at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Scope ASU 2021-01, which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The Company adopted the optional expedients of Topic 848 on June 30, 2023 upon the amendments of its Credit Agreement (see Note 8. Debt Obligations ) and the Certificate of Designation (see Note 9. Redeemable Senior Preferred Stock and Warrants ), which transitioned the Company's reference rates from LIBOR to SOFR. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
2. Acquisitions
Plastiq Acquisition
On May 23, 2023, PRTH’s subsidiary, Plastiq, Powered by Priority, LLC (the "acquiring entity"), entered into a stalking horse equity and asset purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Plastiq, Inc. and certain of its affiliates ("Plastiq") to acquire substantially all of the assets of Plastiq, including the equity interest in Plastiq Canada, Inc. Plastiq is a buyer funded

B2B payments platform offering bill pay and instant access to working capital to its customers and will complement the Company's existing supplier-funded B2B payments business. On May 24, 2023, Plastiq filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
The purchase was completed on July 31, 2023 for a total purchase consideration of approximately $ 37.3 million. The total purchase consideration included $ 28.5 million in cash and the remaining consideration is in the nature of deferred or contingent consideration and certain equity interest in the acquiring entity. The cash consideration for the purchase was funded by borrowings from the Company's revolving credit facility.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, under which the acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recognized at their fair values as of July 31, 2023, with the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired recognized as goodwill. The fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as of July 31, 2023 were estimated by management using the discounted cash flow method and other factors specific to certain assets and liabilities. The preliminary purchase price allocation is set forth in the table below and expected to be finalized as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the closing date.

(1) The fair value of the contingent consideration payments issued was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation. The contingent consideration payments were calculated based on the path for the simulated metrics and the contractual terms of the contingent consideration payments and were discounted to present value at a rate reflecting the risk associated with the payoffs. The fair value was estimated to be the average present value of the contingent consideration payments over all iterations of the simulation.
(2) The intangible assets acquired consist of $ 13.0 million for customer relationships, $ 7.0 million for referral partner relationships, $ 6.5 million for technology and $ 3.9 million for trade name.

Based on the purchase consideration and pre-acquisition operating results, this business combination did not meet the materiality requirements for pro forma disclosures.
Ovvi Acquisition
On November 18, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of certain assets and assumption of a certain liability of Ovvi, LLC, under an asset purchase agreement through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Priority Ovvi, LLC ("Ovvi"). The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Prior to this acquisition, the business operated as a SaaS proprietary platform for the restaurant, hospitality and retail industries by providing complete all-in-one point of sale software and hardware systems, comprehensive ancillary services including fraud detection and mitigation, and processing services for various types of cards including credit cards, debit cards, private label cards and prepaid cards. This business is reported within the Company's SMB Payments reportable segment. Transaction costs were not material and were expensed. The non-voting incentive shares issued to the seller will be evaluated at each reporting period to determine whether or not profit or loss should be allocated to NCI based on the subsidiary's operating agreement. The preliminary purchase price allocation is set forth in the table below and is expected to be finalized as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Other Acquisition
The Company also completed another acquisition during 2022 for approximately $ 1.2 million, which was not material. The acquisition did not meet the definition of a business, therefore it was accounted for as an asset acquisition under which the cost of acquisition was allocated to the technology asset acquired.

4. Settlement Assets and Customer/Subscriber Account Balances and Related Obligations
SMB Payments Segment
In the Company's SMB Payments reportable segment, funds settlement refers to the process of transferring funds for sales and credits between card issuers and merchants. The standards of the card networks require possession of funds during the settlement process by a member bank which controls the clearing transactions. Since settlement funds are required to be in the possession of a member bank until the merchant is funded, these funds are not assets of the Company and the associated obligations are not liabilities of the Company. Therefore, neither is recognized in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Member banks held merchant funds of $ 102.9 million and $ 110.3 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Exception items that become the liability of the Company are recorded as merchant losses, a component of cost of revenue in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Exception items that the Company is still attempting to collect from the merchants through the funds settlement process or merchant reserves are recognized as settlement assets and customer/subscriber account balances in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, with an offsetting reserve for those amounts the Company estimates it will not be able to recover. Expenses for merchant losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $ 1.6 million and $ 3.7 million, respectively. Expenses for merchant losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $ 0.7 million and $ 2.8 million, respectively.
B2B Payments Segment
In the Company's B2B Payments segment, the Company earns revenues by processing transactions for FIs and other business customers. Customers transfer funds to the Company, which are held in either company-owned bank accounts controlled by the Company or bank-owned FBO accounts controlled by the banks, until such time that the transactions are settled with the customer payees. Amounts due to customer payees that are held by the Company in company-owned bank accounts are included in restricted cash. Amounts due to customer payees that are held in bank-owned FBO accounts are not assets of the Company, and the associated obligations are not liabilities of the Company. Therefore, neither is recognized in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Bank-owned FBO accounts held funds of $ 93.4 million and $ 42.7 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Company-owned bank accounts held $ 9.5 million and $ 1.8 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which are included in restricted cash and settlement and customer/subscriber account obligations in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For the Plastiq business, the Company accepts card payments from its customers and processes disbursements to their vendors. The time lag between authorization and settlement of card transactions creates certain receivables (from card networks) and payables (to the vendors of customers). These receivables and payables arise from the settlement activities that the Company performs on the behalf of its customers and therefore, are presented as Settlement assets and related obligations.
Enterprise Payments Segment
In the Company's Enterprise Payments segment revenue is derived primarily from enrollment fees, monthly subscription fees and transaction-based fees from licensed money transmission services. As part of its licensed money transmission services, the Company accepts deposits from consumers and subscribers which are held in bank accounts maintained by the Company on behalf of consumers and subscribers. After accepting deposits, the Company is allowed to invest available balances in these accounts in certain permitted investments, and the return on such investments contributes to the Company's net cash inflows. These balances are payable on demand. As such, the Company recorded these balances and related obligations as current assets
14
Table of Contents
and current liabilities. The nature of these balances are cash and cash equivalents, but they are not available for day-to-day operations of the Company. Therefore, the Company has classified these balances as settlement assets and customer/subscriber account balances and the related obligations as settlement and customer/subscriber account obligations in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In certain states, the Company accepts deposits under agency arrangement with member banks wherein accepted deposits remain under the control of the member banks. Therefore, the Company does not record assets for the deposits accepted and liabilities for the associated obligation. Agency owned accounts held $ 8.6 million and $ 6.1 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The Company's consolidated settlement assets and customer/subscriber account balances and settlement and customer/subscriber account obligations were as follows:

■ Reference rate : The reference rate for the calculation of interest on the Company’s term loan and revolving credit facility was amended from LIBOR to SOFR effective June 30, 2023. Per the amended terms, the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement interest will accrue using the SOFR rate plus a term SOFR adjustment plus an applicable margin per year, subject to a SOFR floor of 1.00 % per year. The applicable interest rate as of September 30, 2023, for the revolving credit facility based on one-month SOFR was 10.20 % and for the term facility based on three-month SOFR was 11.43 %.
■ Increase in the revolving credit facility: The amendments also resulted in an increase in the Company’s revolving credit facility from $ 40 million to $ 65 million.
Debt Covenants
The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties, financial and collateral requirements, mandatory payment events, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants, including without limitation, covenants that restrict among other things, the ability to create liens, pay dividends or distribute assets from the loan parties to the Company, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments or acquisitions, enter into certain transactions (including with affiliates) and to enter into certain leases.

All other terms in the agreement were unchanged. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, SOFR is the reference rate for calculation of the dividend. The dividend rate is subject to future increases if the Company doesn't comply with the minimum cash payment requirements outlined in the agreement, which includes required payments of dividends, required payments related to redemption or required

prepayments. The dividend rate may also increase if the Company fails to obtain the required stockholder approval for a forced sale transaction triggered by investors or if an event of default as outlined in the agreement occurs.
In 2021, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 1,803,841 shares of the Common Stock, at an exercise price of $ 0.001 . As of September 30, 2023, none of the warrants have been exercised. The warrants are considered to be equity contracts indexed in the Company's own shares and therefore were recorded at their inception date relative fair value and are included in additional paid-in capital on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
10. Income Taxes
The Company's consolidated effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was 102.1 % and 122.5 %, respectively, compared to a consolidated effective income tax rate of 188.1 % and 184.2 % for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The effective rates differed from the statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance against certain business interest carryover deferred tax assets.
Valuation Allowance for Deferred Income Tax Assets
The Company considers all available positive and negative evidence to determine whether sufficient taxable income will be generated in the future to permit realization of the existing deferred tax assets. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes , the Company is required to provide a valuation allowance against deferred income tax assets when it is "more likely than not" that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Based on management's assessment, as of September 30, 2023, the Company continues to record a full valuation allowance against non-deductible interest expense. The Company will continue to evaluate the realizability of the net deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis and, as a result, the valuation allowance may change in future periods.

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in certain legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the Company and based on consultations with internal and external counsel, the results of any of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. As more information becomes available, and the Company determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable on a claim and that the amount of probable loss that the Company will incur on that claim is reasonably estimable, the Company will record an accrued expense for the claim in question. If and when the Company records such an accrual, it could be material and could adversely impact the Company's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Concentration of Risks
The Company's revenue is substantially derived from processing Visa and Mastercard bankcard transactions. Because the Company is not a member bank, in order to process these bankcard transactions, the Company maintains sponsorship agreements with member banks which require, among other things, that the Company abide by the by-laws and regulations of the card associations.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company's customer account balances of $ 672.2 million are maintained in FDIC insured accounts with certain FIs (refer to Note 4. Settlement Assets and Customer/Subscriber Account Balances and Related
23
Table of Contents
Obligations ) A majority of the Company's cash and restricted cash is held in certain FIs, substantially all of which is in excess of FDIC limits. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk from these transactions.
14. Fair Value
Fair Value Measurements
Contingent consideration related to the Company's business combinations is estimated based on the present value of a weighted payout probability at the measurement date, which falls within Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy. The current portion of contingent consideration is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and the noncurrent portion of contingent consideration is included in other noncurrent liabilities on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following:
(in thousands) Fair Value Hierarchy September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
Contingent consideration, current portion Level 3 $ 3,789 $ 6,079
Contingent consideration, noncurrent portion Level 3 8,917 2,000
Total contingent consideration $ 12,706 $ 8,079
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no transfers into, out of, or between levels of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value Disclosures
Notes Receivable
Notes receivable are carried at amortized cost. Substantially all of the Company's notes receivable are secured, and the Company provides for allowances when it believes that certain notes receivable may not be collectible. The carrying value of the Company's notes receivable, net approximates fair value and was approximately $ 5.2 million and $ 4.7 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. On the fair value hierarchy, Level 3 inputs are used to estimate the fair value of these notes receivable.
Debt Obligations
Outstanding debt obligations (see Note 8. Debt Obligations ) are reflected in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at carrying value since the Company did not elect to remeasure debt obligations to fair value at the end of each reporting period.
The fair value of the term facility was estimated to be $ 603.0 million and $ 606.1 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and was estimated using binding and non-binding quoted prices in an active secondary market, which considers the credit risk and market related conditions, and is within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The carrying values of the other long-term debt obligations approximate fair value due to mechanisms in the credit agreements that adjust the applicable interest rates and the lack of a market for these debt obligations.

• SMB Payments – provides full-service acquiring and payment-enabled solutions for B2C transactions, leveraging the Company's proprietary software platform, distributed through ISOs, direct sales and vertically focused ISV channels.
