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 Commerce," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us," unless the context requires otherwise. Priority Commerce delivers payments and banking solutions that power connected commerce. Through a unified platform of payables, merchant services, and banking and treasury, Priority Commerce helps businesses manage money more effectively and unlock growth. The Priority Commerce Engine accelerates cash flow, improves working capital, reduces costs, and creates new revenue opportunities.
The Company operates on a calendar year ending each December 31 and reports quarterly results 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, 2025 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual consolidated 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 June 30, 2026, there was no income 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, 2025.
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. The effect of these reclassifications on our Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements was not material.
Segment Renaming
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company renamed its segments to align with the services offered. SMB Payments was renamed to Merchant Solutions, B2B Payments was renamed to Payables and Enterprise Payments was renamed to Treasury Solutions. There was no other change to the segments, see further information at Note 14. Segment Information .
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.
Foreign Currency
The Company's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Indian subsidiary of the Company is the Indian Rupee. The functional currency of the Canadian subsidiaries 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
7
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.
Allowance for Expected Losses
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of allowance for expected losses is as follows:
(in thousands) Accounts receivable Settlement assets
Balance at December 31, 2025 $ ( 6,297 ) $ ( 7,069 )
Charge-offs (recoveries), net 701 5,990
Provision ( 955 ) ( 4,378 )
Balance at June 30, 2026 $ ( 6,551 ) $ ( 5,457 )
The Company has elected not to measure expected losses for accrued interest on notes receivable but instead recognize losses for accrued interest within the period losses are determined to be uncollectible.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets ASU 2025-05
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) ("ASU 2025-05") providing a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses which assumes current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the accounts receivable and contract asset. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Adoption of this standard did not have any material impact on results of operations, financial position, cash flows or disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Pending Adoption
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ASU 2024-03
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) ("ASU 2024-03") requiring additional disaggregated disclosures in the notes to financial statements for certain categories of expenses that are included on the face of the income statement. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance for the year ended December 31, 2027. This guidance is expected to only impact the disclosures with no impact on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Accounting for Internal-Use Software ASU 2025-06,
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) ("ASU 2025-06") for targeted improvements to the accounting for internal-use software. The amendment updates guidance to consider different methods of software development, updating the requirements for capitalization of software costs. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Interim Reporting ASU 2025-11
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270) ("ASU 2025-11") provides clarity about the current requirements for a comprehensive list of interim disclosures and also requires the Company to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period which have a material impact on the Company. This ASU is effective for interim
8
reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its interim consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
2. Acquisitions
Acquisitions that occurred in prior years
Payslate
On January 21, 2025, Priority Commerce’s wholly owned subsidiary, Priority Canada Acquisition Company, Inc., acquired 100 % of the equity interest in Payslate Inc. (Canada), and its subsidiary Rentmoola Payment Solutions Ltd (United Kingdom) (jointly referred as "Letus business"). The Letus business is engaged in processing of rent payments for property management companies in the United States and Canada. The acquisition offers synergy opportunities to the Company's Treasury Solutions rent payment business and expand Priority Commerce's services in Canada. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations . The total purchase consideration was $ 8.8 million, consisting of $ 4.4 million in cash consideration funded by the Company’s cash flows, deferred consideration of $ 4.3 million and contingent consideration of $ 0.1 million.
The deferred consideration of $ 4.3 million was recorded at the fair value on the acquisition date. The deferred consideration is paid monthly equal to 40 % of gross profit under the agreement and total payments will not exceed $ 6.5 million. Any amount remaining but unpaid will be paid in full by January 21, 2030. The Company continues to accrete interest expense on the deferred consideration throughout the period.
The final purchase price allocation is set forth in the table below:
(in thousands)
Consideration:
Cash (1)
$ 4,627
Deferred consideration (2)
4,282
Contingent consideration (3)

Less: cash acquired ( 175 )
Total purchase consideration, net of cash acquired $ 8,838
Recognized amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed (4) :
Accounts receivable $ 149
Prepaid expenses 229
Property, equipment and software 8
Goodwill 6,070
Intangible assets:
Customer relationships 1,555
Trademarks 480
Technology 706
Accounts payable and accrued expenses ( 359 )
Total purchase consideration $ 8,838
(1) Cash at closing net of adjustments from estimated net working capital to actual working capital.
(2) The fair value of the deferred consideration was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation. The payments were calculated based on the path for the simulated metrics and the contractual terms of the deferred consideration payments
9
and were discounted to present value at a rate reflecting a risk associated with the payoffs. The fair value was estimated to be the average present value of the deferred consideration payments over all iterations of the simulation.
(3) The contingent consideration represents the fair value of the share of net operating loss carryforwards owed to the seller in the future.
(4) Includes deferred tax asset of $ 3.8 million which has a full valuation allowance.
Goodwill of $ 6.1 million arising from the acquisition primarily consists of the expected synergies and other benefits from combining operations. There was no goodwill deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill was 100 % allocated to the Company's Treasury Solutions reportable segment.
Sila
On August 26, 2025, Priority Commerce's wholly owned subsidiary, Priority Tech Ventures, LLC, through its merger subsidiary, acquired total outstanding shares including all voting interests in Sila Inc. ("the "Sila business" or "Sila"). Sila is a payment platform that enables ACH transfers, instant settlement, digital wallets and built-in compliance through a simple application programming interface. Technology acquired in this transaction supplements Priority Commerce's Treasury Solutions reportable segment. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations . The total purchase consideration was $ 7.2 million, consisting of $ 3.4 million in cash consideration funded by the Company's cash flows, and contingent consideration of $ 3.9 million for contractual earn-outs and additional contingent consideration. Earn-outs will be paid as a percentage of gross profit when certain thresholds are met and additional contingent considerations will be paid based on utilization of the seller's carryforward tax losses. The purchase price is considered preliminary pending finalization of customary adjustments from timing differences.
The contingent consideration for the contractual earn-outs was recorded at the fair value of $ 3.9 million on the acquisition date. The contingent consideration will be paid quarterly subject to terms and conditions noted within the agreement over a period of seven years and total payments will not exceed $ 17.0 million.
The preliminary purchase price allocation is set forth in the table below:
(in thousands)
Consideration:
Cash (1)(4)
$ 3,449
Contingent consideration (2)(4)
3,881
Less: cash acquired ( 100 )
Total purchase consideration, net of cash acquired $ 7,230
Recognized amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Intangible assets:
Trademarks (4)

Technology (4)

Accounts payable and accrued expenses (4)
( 386 )
Customer deposits ( 46 )
Fair value of net assets acquired $ 11,219
Estimated bargain purchase gain (4)
$ 3,989
(1) Cash at closing net of adjustments from estimated net working capital and closing cash.
(2) The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation. The payments were calculated based on the path for the simulated metrics and the contractual terms of the contingent consideration
10
payments and were discounted to present value at a rate reflecting a 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. The contingent consideration represents the fair value of the contractual earn-outs and the share of net operating loss carryforwards owed to the seller in the future.
(3) Includes a deferred tax asset of $ 9.5 million.
(4) During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments due to additional information received that existed on the acquisition date.
The fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities exceeded the consideration paid, resulting in a bargain purchase gain. The Company reviewed its acquisition accounting methods, confirmed all assets and liabilities were properly identified, and ensured measurements reflected all consideration as of the closing date. The gain was primarily due to recognizing a deferred tax asset recorded in accordance with ASC 740 related to Sila's historical net operating losses. The bargain purchase gain is recorded in other income, net, in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
DMS ( doing business as Priority Commerce Automotive )
On October 1, 2025, Priority Commerce's subsidiary, Priority DMS, LLC, entered into the asset purchase and contribution agreement with DMSJV, LLC ("DMS"), to acquire substantially all of the assets of DMS. DMS provides credit card processing solutions to automotive dealerships via marketing and selling card and ACH processing services and ancillary services including POS systems, payment gateways, payment processing and authorization, clearing, and settlement for credit card, debit and ACH transactions, which supplements the Company's services within the Merchant Solutions reportable segment. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations . The total purchase consideration was $ 57.9 million, consisting of $ 31.5 million in cash consideration funded by the Company's term loan facility, deferred consideration of $ 2.8 million, contingent consideration of $ 17.1 million for contractual earn-outs and $ 6.6 million in non-voting subsidiary shares issued to the sellers. Earn-outs will be paid as a percentage of gross profit when certain thresholds are met. The purchase price is considered preliminary pending finalization of customary adjustments from timing differences.
The contingent consideration for the contractual earn-outs was recorded at the fair value of $ 17.1 million on the acquisition date. The contingent consideration will be paid when an initial cumulative threshold for gross profit is met, subject to terms and conditions noted within the agreement, over a period of at least four years and total payments will not exceed $ 22.5 million.

The preliminary purchase price allocation is set forth in the table below:
(in thousands)

Goodwill 34,159
Intangible assets:
Customer relationships 17,187

Technology 3,277
Accounts payable and accrued expenses ( 79 )
Total purchase consideration $ 57,929
(1) The deferred consideration represents the fair value of the amount to be remitted upon direction of the seller no later than four years from the acquisition date.
(2) The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation. The payments were calculated based on the path for the simulated metrics and the contractual terms of the deferred consideration payments and were discounted to present value at a rate reflecting a 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.
(3) The fair value determination for the Class B units utilized an option pricing model. The seller may request to convert 50 % of the Class B Units to shares in the Company no later than five years from the acquisition date.
Goodwill of $ 34.2 million arising from the acquisition primarily consists of the expected synergies and other benefits from combining operations. There was no goodwill deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill was 100 % allocated to the Company's Merchant Solutions reportable segment.
Other Acquisitions
Boom Commerce
On August 18, 2025, Priority Boom, LLC, a subsidiary of Priority Commerce, completed its acquisition of certain residual portfolio rights for a purchase price of $ 73.5 million in cash, $ 13.5 million in Common shares of Priority Commerce and earn-out payments not to exceed $ 17.0 million based on meeting certain thresholds over a three-year period from the date of acquisition. The transaction did not meet the definition of a business; therefore, it was accounted for as an asset purchase under which the cost of the acquisition was allocated to the acquired assets based on relative fair values. As an asset purchase, additional purchase price (in the form of earn-outs) is accounted for when payment to the seller becomes payable and is added to the carrying value of the asset, as long as it does not meet the definition of a derivative.

4. Settlement Assets and Obligations
Settlement assets and obligations include, 1) funds due from merchants arising from settlement of funds for sales and credits between card issuers, merchants, 2) card settlement funds due from networks due to timing and its related obligations, and 3) Customer/Subscriber account balances and related obligations resulting from licensed money transmitter services.
Card settlements due from merchants, net
The merchant solution services of the Company include settlement of funds for sales and credits between card issuers, card networks 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 merchants are 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.
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 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. Exception items that the Company has deemed uncollectible are recorded as merchant losses, a component of cost of revenue in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Expenses for merchant losses, net of recoveries for the
14
three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were $ 2.2 million and $ 5.5 million, respectively. Expenses for merchant losses were $ 0.2 million and $ 1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
Card settlements due from networks and Dues to Customers’ Payees
As part of the Payables service offering:
• Priority Commerce accepts card payments for its customers and processes disbursements to their vendors (customers’ payees). 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 behalf of its customers and therefore, are presented as settlement assets and related obligations.
• Priority Commerce processes payments to the customers’ payees wherein customers funds are received either in 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 customers’ payees. Balances in the bank-owned FBO accounts and related obligations are not considered assets and obligations of the Company. Therefore, neither is recognized in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts due to customers’ payees that are held in Company-owned bank accounts are included in restricted cash in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and related obligations are presented as due to customers’ payees.
MTL Customer cash and cash equivalents (restricted in nature), short-term investments and MTL Customer account obligations
The Company provides treasury solutions to its customers either through its money transmission licenses in 46 states, the District of Columbia, and 2 territories of the United States or through agency relationships with banks. These services include the acceptance and disbursement of funds. While waiting for disbursement, these funds are held in bank accounts maintained by the Company on behalf of its customers. Per the money transmission regulations, the Company is allowed to invest available balances in these accounts in certain permitted investments, and returns on such investments contribute to the Company's net cash inflows. As such, the Company recognized these balances and related obligations on its balance sheet. Considering these balances are payable on demand and are related to settlement activities, they are presented as settlement assets (as part of the current assets) and the related obligations as settlement obligations (as part of the current liabilities) in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The nature of these MTL Customer cash and cash equivalent are restricted in nature and therefore these balances are presented as restricted cash on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The MTL Short-term investments are included within other investing activities on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

If the aggregate principal amount of outstanding revolving loans and letters of credit under the 2024 Credit Agreement exceeds 35 % of the total revolving credit facility thereunder, the Company is required to comply with certain restrictions on its Total Net Leverage Ratio. If applicable, the maximum permitted Total Net Leverage Ratio is: 1) 6.90 :1.00 at each fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025 through March 31, 2026; 2) 6.40 :1.00 at each fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026 and each fiscal quarter thereafter.

The effective rates differed from the statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to certain forecasted nondeductible expenses.
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 June 30, 2026, the Company continues to record a full valuation allowance against certain transaction costs, and net deferred tax assets acquired as part of the Payslate acquisition. The Company will continue to

Earn-outs/additional considerations from asset purchase transactions are considered as contingent liabilities until it becomes payable or paid. As of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the total contingent liabilities related to our asset purchases are $ 27.2 million.
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, 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 association.
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.

13. Fair Value
Fair Value Disclosures
The Company's contingent and deferred considerations were derived from business combinations occurring during the year ended December 31, 2025 (refer to Note 2. Acquisitions ). The contingent considerations are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the uncertainty of the fair value measurement created by the absence of quoted market prices, the inherent lack of liquidity and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value which require judgment. The Company uses valuation techniques including Monte Carlo simulations to estimate fair value based on projection period and assumed growth rates. A change in inputs in the valuation techniques used might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement than what is reported. Contingent and deferred consideration liabilities are uncertain due to the utilization of unobservable inputs and management's judgment in determining the likelihood of achieving criteria required by the respective agreements. The contingent and deferred considerations have a fair value of $ 28.9 million at June 30, 2026, $ 1.2 million included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $ 27.7 million included in other noncurrent liabilities on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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 $ 22.7 million and $ 19.7 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively and is within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
The Company's investment in unconsolidated entities are carried at cost minus any impairment, if any. The carrying value of the investments approximate fair value and was $ 10.1 million and $ 8.6 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, within other noncurrent assets on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The investments in unconsolidated entities are within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 under the 2024 Credit Agreement was estimated to be $ 1,004.7 million and $ 998.3 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The fair value 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 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no transfers into, out of, or between levels of the fair value hierarchy.
Long term incentive award
The Company has established a long-term incentive award for the Chief Executive Officer, which is subject to specified performance conditions. Upon satisfaction of these performance criteria, the Chief Executive Officer becomes entitled to a predetermined amount of incentive compensation, which may be settled either in cash or in shares of the Company's Common Stock. Consequently, this arrangement is accounted for as a liability award in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The fair value of these awards is remeasured at each reporting date utilizing Level 3 inputs, which encompass management's estimates regarding the anticipated achievement of relevant financial metrics. The fair value of these awards as of June 30, 2026 was $ 2.8 million, $ 1.6 million included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $ 1.2 million in other noncurrent liabilities on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company's chief operating decision makers ("CODM") are our CEO and CFO. The CODM uses adjusted earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization expenses ("Adjusted EBITDA") as the measure of segment profit or loss to allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA (i.e. earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization expenses) adjusted for certain non-cash costs, such as stock-based compensation and the write-off of the carrying value of investments or other assets, as well as debt extinguishment and modification expenses and other expenses and income items considered non-recurring, such as acquisition integration expenses, certain professional fees, and litigation settlements.
Segment level assets information is not provided or subject to review by the CODM and therefore not provided.
