Repay Holdings Corp 10-Q

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For purposes of this section, "Repay", the “Company", "we", or "our" refer to Repay Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. Certain figures have been rounded for ease of presentation and may not sum due to rounding. Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements Statements under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 . Overview We are a leading payments technology company. We provide integrated payment processing solutions to industry-oriented markets in which clients have specific transaction processing needs. We refer to these markets as “vertical markets” or “verticals.” Our proprietary, integrated payment technology platform reduces the complexity of the electronic payments process for businesses, while enhancing their consumers’ overall experience. We are a payments innovator, differentiated by our proprietary, integrated payment technology platform and our ability to reduce the complexity of the electronic payments for businesses. We intend to continue to strategically target verticals where we believe our ability to tailor payment solutions to our client needs, our deep knowledge of our vertical markets and the embedded nature of our integrated payment solutions will drive strong growth by attracting new clients and fostering long-term client relationships. Since a significant portion of our revenue is derived from volume-based payment processing fees, card payment volume is a key operating metric that we use to evaluate our business. We processed approximately $6.4 billion of total card payment volume for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and our card payment volume growth over the same period in 2021 was approximately 39%. The ultimate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic conditions on our results remain uncertain. The scope, duration and magnitude of the direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve and in ways that are difficult to fully anticipate. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the full impact of the pandemic on the Company, given the uncertainty over the duration and severity of the economic crisis. In addition, the impact of COVID-19 on our results in the first quarter of 2022 may not be necessarily indicative of its impact on our results for the remainder of 2022. Business Combination The Company was formed upon closing of the merger (the “Business Combination”) of Hawk Parent Holdings LLC (together with Repay Holdings, LLC and its other subsidiaries, “Hawk Parent”) with a subsidiary of Thunder Bridge Acquisition, Ltd, (“Thunder Bridge”), a special purpose acquisition company, on July 11, 2019. On the closing of the Business Combination, Thunder Bridge changed its name to “Repay Holdings Corporation.” Key Factors Affecting Our Business Key factors that we believe impact our business, results of operations and financial condition include, but are not limited to, the following: ● the dollar amount volume and the number of transactions that are processed by the clients that we currently serve; ● our ability to attract new clients and onboard them as active processing clients; ● our ability to (i) successfully integrate recent acquisitions and (ii) complete future acquisitions; 24 ● our ability to offer new and competitive payment technology solutions to our clients; and ● general economic conditions and consumer finance trends. Key Components of Our Revenues and Expenses Revenues Revenue. As our clients process increased volumes of payments, our revenues increase as a result of the fees we charge for processing these payments. Most of our revenues are derived from volume-based payment processing fees (“discount fees”) and other related fixed per transaction fees. Discount fees represent a percentage of the dollar amount of each credit or debit transaction processed and include fees relating to processing and services that we provide. The transaction price for such processing services is determined, based on the judgment of management, considering factors such as margin objectives, pricing practices and controls, client segment pricing strategies, the product life cycle and the observable price of the service charged to similarly situated clients. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, our chargeback rate was less than 1% of our card payment volume. Expenses Costs of services . Costs of services primarily include commissions to our software integration partners and other third-party processing costs, such as front and back-end processing costs and sponsor bank fees. Selling, general and administrative . Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries, share-based compensation and other employment costs, professional service fees, rent and utilities, and other operating costs. Depreciation and amortization . Depreciation expense consists of depreciation on our investments in property, equipment and computer hardware. Depreciation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Amortization expense for software development costs and purchased software is recognized on the straight-line method over a three-year estimated useful life, between eight to ten years estimated useful life for client relationships and channel relationships, and between two to five years estimated useful life for non-compete agreements. Interest expense. Interest expense consists of interest in respect of our indebtedness under the Successor Credit Agreement, which was entered into in connection with the Business Combination and amended in February 2020, and the Amended Credit Agreement, which replaced the Successor Credit Agreement in February 2021. Change in fair value of tax receivable liability . This amount represents the change in fair value of the tax receivable agreement liability. The TRA liability is carried at fair value; so, any change to the valuation of this liability is recognized through this line in other expense. The change in fair value can result from the redemption or exchange of Post-Merger Repay Units for Class A common stock of Repay Holdings Corporation, or through accretion of the discounted fair value of the expected future cash payments. 25 Results of Operations (Unaudited) Three Months ended March 31, (in $ thousands) 2022 2021 Revenue $ 67,564 $ 47,520 Operating expenses Costs of services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately below) $ 16,565 $ 12,475 Selling, general and administrative 32,218 23,393 Depreciation and amortization 28,589 17,793 Change in fair value of contingent consideration (2,900 ) 2,649 Total operating expenses $ 74,472 $ 56,310 Loss from operations $ (6,908 ) $ (8,790 ) Interest expense (989 ) (1,183 ) Loss on extinguishment of debt — (5,941 ) Change in fair value of tax receivable liability 24,619 1,043 Other income 6 28 Other loss — (9,080 ) Total other income (expense) 23,636 (15,133 ) Income (loss) before income tax (expense) benefit 16,728 (23,923 ) Income tax (expense) benefit (3,843 ) 5,942 Net income (loss) $ 12,885 $ (17,981 ) Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest (767 ) (2,187 ) Net income (loss) attributable to the Company $ 13,652 $ (15,794 ) Weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding - basic 88,607,655 76,602,759 Weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding - diluted 113,015,159 76,602,759 Income (loss) per Class A share - basic $ 0.15 $ (0.21 ) Income (loss) per Class A share - diluted $ 0.12 $ (0.21 ) Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Revenue Total revenue was $67.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $47.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $20.1 million or 42.2%. This increase was the result of newly signed clients, the growth of our existing clients, as well as the acquisitions of BillingTree, Kontrol, and Payix. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, incremental revenues of approximately $17.2 million are attributable to BillingTree, Kontrol and Payix. Costs of Services Costs of services were $16.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $4.1 million or 32.8%. This increase was the result of the acquisitions of BillingTree, Kontrol, and Payix. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, incremental costs of services of approximately $3.0 million are attributable to BillingTree, Kontrol and Payix. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses were $32.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $23.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $8.8 million or 37.7%, primarily due to a $6.2 million increase in compensation expenses with general business growth and a $1.6 million increase in expenses relating to software and technological services. Depreciation and Amortization Expenses Depreciation and amortization expenses were $28.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $17.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $10.8 million or 60.7%, primarily due to a $9.4 million increase in depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and intangibles from the acquisitions of BillingTree, Kontrol and Payix. 26 Change in the Fair Value of Contingent Consideration Change in the fair value of contingent consideration was $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which consisted of fair value adjustments related to the contingent consideration for the acquisitions of CPS, Kontrol and Payix. Interest Expense Interest expense was $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $0.2 million or 16.4%. This decrease was due to a lower average outstanding principal balance under our Amended Credit Agreement. Loss on Extinguishment of Debt We incurred a loss of $5.9 million on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended March 31, 2021, due to the termination in full of all outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loan commitments under the Successor Credit Agreement. Change in Fair Value of Tax Receivable Liability We incurred a gain, related to accretion expense and fair value adjustment of the tax receivable liability of $24.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to a $1.0 million gain for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $23.6 million. This increase was due to lower fair value adjustments related to the tax receivable liability, primarily as a result of changes to the discount rate used to determine the fair value of the liability. Other Loss We incurred a loss of $9.1 million on the settlement of interest rate swaps for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Income Tax (Expense) Benefit The income tax expense was $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, reflecting the expected income tax expense on the income generated over the same period. This was a result of the operating income incurred by the Company, primarily driven by the change in fair value of the tax receivable liability and contingent consideration, offset by stock-based compensation deductions and the amortization of assets acquired in the Business Combination and prior acquisitions. The income tax benefit was $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which reflected the expected income tax benefit to be received on the net earnings related to the Company’s economic interest in Hawk Parent. 27 Non-GAAP Financial Measures This report includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to evaluate our operating business, measure our performance and make strategic decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income prior to interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to add back certain charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on termination of interest rate hedge, non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration, non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities, share-based compensation charges, transaction expenses, employee recruiting costs, other taxes, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs and other non-recurring charges. Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income prior to amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, as adjusted to add back certain charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on termination of interest rate hedge, non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration, non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities, share-based compensation expense, transaction expenses, employee recruiting costs, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs, other non-recurring charges, non-cash interest expense and net of tax effect associated with these adjustments. Adjusted Net Income is adjusted to exclude amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Management believes that the adjustment of acquisition-related intangible amortization supplements GAAP financial measures because it allows for greater comparability of operating performance. Although we exclude amortization from acquisition-related intangibles from our non-GAAP expenses, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangibles were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. Adjusted Net Income per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of the outstanding Post-Merger Repay Units) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (excluding shares subject to forfeiture). We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as management. However, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating profit or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Using these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze our business has material limitations because the calculations are based on the subjective determination of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find significant. In addition, although other companies in our industry may report measures titled Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share or similar measures, such non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from how we calculate our non-GAAP financial measures, which reduces their overall usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. The following tables set forth a reconciliation of our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. 28 REPAY HOLDINGS CORPORATION Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited) Three Months ended March 31, (in $ thousands) 2022 2021 Revenue $ 67,564 $ 47,520 Operating expenses Costs of services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately below) $ 16,565 $ 12,475 Selling, general and administrative 32,218 23,393 Depreciation and amortization 28,589 17,793 Change in fair value of contingent consideration (2,900 ) 2,649 Total operating expenses $ 74,472 $ 56,310 Loss from operations $ (6,908 ) $ (8,790 ) Interest expense (989 ) (1,183 ) Loss on extinguishment of debt — (5,941 ) Change in fair value of tax receivable liability 24,619 1,043 Other income 6 28 Other loss — (9,080 ) Total other income (expense) 23,636 (15,133 ) Income (loss) before income tax (expense) benefit 16,728 (23,923 ) Income tax (expense) benefit (3,843 ) 5,942 Net income (loss) $ 12,885 $ (17,981 ) Add: Interest expense 989 1,183 Depreciation and amortization (a) 28,589 17,793 Income tax expense (benefit) 3,843 (5,942 ) EBITDA $ 46,306 $ (4,947 ) Loss on extinguishment of debt (b) — 5,941 Loss on termination of interest rate hedge (c) — 9,080 Non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration (d) (2,900 ) 2,649 Non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities (e) (24,619 ) (1,043 ) Share-based compensation expense (f) 3,357 5,151 Transaction expenses (g) 4,930 2,340 Employee recruiting costs (h) 200 136 Other taxes (i) 149 139 Restructuring and other strategic initiative costs (j) 1,246 628 Other non-recurring charges (k) 658 386 Adjusted EBITDA $ 29,327 $ 20,460 29 REPAY HOLDINGS CORPORATION Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited) Three Months ended March 31, (in $ thousands) 2022 2021 Revenue $ 67,564 $ 47,520 Operating expenses Costs of services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately below) $ 16,565 $ 12,475 Selling, general and administrative 32,218 23,393 Depreciation and amortization 28,589 17,793 Change in fair value of contingent consideration (2,900 ) 2,649 Total operating expenses 74,472 $ 56,310 Loss from operations $ (6,908 ) $ (8,790 ) Interest expense (989 ) (1,183 ) Loss on extinguishment of debt — (5,941 ) Change in fair value of tax receivable liability 24,619 1,043 Other income 6 28 Other loss — (9,080 ) Total other income (expense) 23,636 (15,133 ) Income (loss) before income tax (expense) benefit 16,728 (23,923 ) Income tax (expense) benefit (3,843 ) 5,942 Net income (loss) $ 12,885 $ (17,981 ) Add: Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangibles (l) 23,136 16,039 Loss on extinguishment of debt (b) — 5,941 Loss on termination of interest rate hedge (c) — 9,080 Non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration (d) (2,900 ) 2,649 Non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities (e) (24,619 ) (1,043 ) Share-based compensation expense (f) 3,357 5,151 Transaction expenses (g) 4,930 2,340 Employee recruiting costs (h) 200 136 Restructuring and other strategic initiative costs (j) 1,246 628 Other non-recurring charges (k) 658 386 Non-cash interest expense (m) 703 536 Pro forma taxes at effective rate (n) (1,194 ) (8,722 ) Adjusted Net Income $ 18,402 $ 15,140 Shares of Class A common stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis) (o) 96,534,231 84,578,585 Adjusted Net income per share $ 0.19 $ 0.18 (a) See footnote (l) for details on our amortization and depreciation expenses.

(d) Reflects the changes in management’s estimates of future cash consideration to be paid in connection with prior acquisitions from the amount estimated as of the most recent balance sheet date. (e) Reflects the changes in management’s estimates of the fair value of the liability relating to TRA. (f) Represents compensation expense associated with equity compensation plans, totaling $3.4 million and $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. (g) Primarily consists of (i) during the three months ended March 31, 2022, professional service fees and other costs incurred in connection with the acquisitions of BillingTree, Kontrol and Payix, and (ii) during the three months ended March 31, 2021, professional service fees and other costs incurred in connection with the 30 acquisition of Ventanex, cPayPlus, and CPS, as well as professional service expenses related to the January 2021 equity and convertible notes offerings . (h) Represents payments made to third-party recruiters in connection with a significant expansion of our personnel, which we expect will become more moderate in subsequent periods. (i) Reflects franchise taxes and other non-income based taxes. (j) Reflects consulting fees related to our processing services and other operational improvements, including restructuring and integration activities related to our acquired businesses, that were not in the ordinary course during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. (k) For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, reflects extraordinary refunds to clients and other payments related to COVID-19 and non-cash rent expense. (l) For the three months ended March 31, 2022, reflects amortization of client relationships, non-compete agreement, software, and channel relationship intangibles acquired through the Business Combination, and client relationships, non-compete agreement, and software intangibles acquired through our acquisitions of TriSource, APS, Ventanex, cPayPlus, CPS, BillingTree, Kontrol and Payix. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 reflects amortization of client relationships, non-compete agreement, software, and channel relationship intangibles acquired through the Business Combination, and client relationships, non-compete agreement, and software intangibles acquired through our acquisitions of TriSource, APS, Ventanex, cPayPlus and CPS. This adjustment excludes the amortization of other intangible assets which were acquired in the regular course of business, such as capitalized internally developed software and purchased software. See additional information below for an analysis of our amortization expenses: Three Months ended March 31, (in $ thousands) 2022 2021 Acquisition-related intangibles $ 23,136 $ 16,039 Software 4,946 1,465 Amortization $ 28,082 $ 17,504 Depreciation 507 289 Total Depreciation and amortization 1 $ 28,589 $ 17,793 1) Adjusted Net Income is adjusted to exclude amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions (see corresponding adjustments in the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted Net Income presented above). Management believes that the adjustment of acquisition-related intangible amortization supplements GAAP financial measures because it allows for greater comparability of operating performance. Although we exclude amortization from acquisition-related intangibles from our non-GAAP expenses, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangibles were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangibles that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangibles have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangibles. ( m ) Represents non-cash deferred debt issuance costs. ( n ) Represents pro forma income tax adjustment effect associated with items adjusted above. ( o ) Represents the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of outstanding Post-Merger Repay Units) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. These numbers do not include any shares issuable upon conversion of our 2026 Notes. See the reconciliation of basic weighted average shares outstanding to the non-GAAP Class A common stock outstanding on an as-converted basis for each respective period below: 31 Three Months ended March 31, 2022 2021 Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding - basic 88,607,655 76,602,759 Add: Non-controlling interests Weighted average Post-Merger Repay Units exchangeable for Class A common stock 7,926,576 7,975,826 Shares of Class A common stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis) 96,534,231 84,578,585 Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $29.3 million and $20.5 million, respectively, representing a 43.3% year-over-year increase. Adjusted Net Income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $18.4 million and $15.1 million, respectively, representing a 21.6% year-over-year increase. Our net income (loss) attributable to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $13.7 million and ($15.8) million, respectively, representing a 186.4% year-over-year increase. These increases in Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and net income (loss) attributable to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are primarily due to the organic growth of our business, along with contributions from acquisitions. Seasonality We have experienced in the past, and may continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in our volumes and revenues as a result of consumer spending patterns. Volumes and revenues, per each client store, during the first quarter of the calendar year tend to increase in comparison to the remaining three quarters of the calendar year. This increase is due to consumers’ receipt of tax refunds and the increases in repayment activity levels that follow. Operating expenses show less seasonal fluctuation, with the result that net income is subject to the similar seasonal factors as our volumes and revenues. Liquidity and Capital Resources We have historically financed our operations and working capital through net cash from operating activities. As of March 31, 2022, we had $65.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity of $165.0 million under the Amended Credit Agreement. This balance does not include restricted cash, which reflects cash accounts holding reserves for potential losses and client settlement funds of $15.5 million at March 31, 2022. Our primary cash needs are to fund working capital requirements, invest in technology development, fund acquisitions and related contingent consideration, make scheduled principal payments and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness and pay tax distributions to members of Hawk Parent. We expect that our cash flow from operations, current cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund our operations and planned capital expenditures and to service our debt obligations for the next twelve months. We are a holding company with no operations and depend on our subsidiaries for cash to fund all of our consolidated operations, including future dividend payments, if any. We depend on the payment of distributions by our current subsidiaries, including Hawk Parent, which distributions may be restricted by law or contractual agreements, including agreements governing their indebtedness. For a discussion of those considerations and restrictions, refer to Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Class A Common Stock” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. 32 Cash Flows The following table presents a summary of cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated: Three Months ended March 31, (in $ thousands) 2022 2021 Net cash provided by operating activities $ 13,754 $ 4,769 Net cash used in investing activities (7,566 ) (5,206 ) Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities (1,698 ) 304,379 Cash Flow from Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $13.8 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively , reflects net income as adjusted for non-cash operating items including depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and changes in working capital accounts. Cash Flow from Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities was $7.6 million and $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, due to the capitalization of software development activities. Cash Flow from Financing Activities Net cash used in financing activities was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, due to the shares repurchased under Equity Plan. Net cash provided by financing activities was $304.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, due to proceeds from the issuance of new shares in the January 2021 equity offering and the 2026 Notes, offset by repayment of the outstanding revolver balance related to the Successor Credit Agreement and repayments of the term loan principal balance under the Successor Credit Agreement. Indebtedness Successor Credit Agreement In connection with the Business Combination, on July 11, 2019, TB Acquisition Merger Sub LLC, Hawk Parent and certain subsidiaries of Hawk Parent, as guarantors, entered into a Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (as amended, the “Successor Credit Agreement”) with certain financial institutions, as lenders, and Truist Bank (formerly SunTrust Bank), as the administrative agent. On February 10, 2020, we announced the acquisition of Ventanex. The closing of the acquisition was financed partially from new borrowings under our existing credit facility. As part of the financing for the transaction, we entered into an agreement with Truist Bank and other members of its existing bank group to amend and upsize the Successor Credit Agreement. On January 20, 2021, we used a portion of the proceeds from the 2026 Notes to prepay in full the entire amount of the outstanding term loans under the Successor Credit Agreement. We also terminated in full all outstanding delayed draw term loan commitments under such credit facilities. Amended Credit Agreement On February 3, 2021, the Company announced the closing of a new undrawn $125.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility through Truist Bank. The Amended Credit Agreement replaced the Successor Credit Agreement, which included an undrawn $30.0 million revolving credit facility. 33 On December 29, 2021, we increased our existing senior secured credit facilities by $60.0 million to provide for a $185.0 million revolving credit facility pursuant to an amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2022, the Amended Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of $185.0 million. As of March 31, 2022, we had $20.0 million drawn against the revolving credit facility at a variable interest rate of 2.25% plus 1-month LIBOR due 2026. We paid $0.2 million and $0.1 million in fees related to unused commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Convertible Senior Debt On January 19, 2021, we issued $440.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 in a private placement (the “Notes Offering”) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of such 2026 Notes were sold in the Notes Offering in connection with the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase such additional 2026 Notes pursuant to the purchase agreement. Upon conversion, the Company may choose to pay or deliver cash, shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The 2026 Notes will mature on February 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, repurchased or redeemed. As of March 31, 2022, we had convertible senior debt outstanding of $431.5 million, net of deferred issuance costs, under the 2026 Notes, and revolving credit facility debt outstanding of $17.7 million, net of deferred issuance costs, under the Amended Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with the related restrictive financial covenants. Additionally, we currently expect that we will remain in compliance with the restrictive financial covenants under the 2026 Notes and the Amended Credit Agreement, prospectively. Tax Receivable Agreement Upon the completion of the Business Combination, we entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement (the “TRA”) with holders of limited liability company interests of Hawk Parent (the “Post-Merger Repay Units”). As a result of the TRA, we established a liability in our consolidated financial statements. Such liability, which will increase upon the redemptions or exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units for the Class A common stock of the Company, generally represents 100% of the estimated future tax benefit, if any, relating to the increase in tax basis that will result from redemptions or exchanges of the Post-Merger Repay Units for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and certain other tax attributes of the Company and tax benefits of entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the TRA. Under the terms of the TRA, we may elect to terminate the TRA early but will be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future cash tax savings. As a result, the associated liability reported on our consolidated financial statements may be increased. We expect that the payment obligations of the Company required under the TRA will be substantial. The actual increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of redemptions or exchanges by the holders of Post-Merger Repay Units, the price of the Class A common stock of the Company at the time of the redemption or exchange, whether such redemptions or exchanges are taxable, the amount and timing of the taxable income we generate in the future, the tax rate then applicable and the portion of our payments under the TRA constituting imputed interest. We expect to fund the payment of the amounts due under the TRA out of the cash savings that we actually realize in respect of the attributes to which TRA relates. However, the payments required to be made could be in excess of the actual tax benefits that we realize and there can be no assurance that we will be able to finance our obligations under the TRA. Critical Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies for the three months ended March 31, 2022. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for a complete discussion of critical accounting policies. For information related to recent accounting pronouncements and the impact of these pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements, see Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. 34 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITAT IVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK Effects of Inflation While inflation may impact our revenues and cost of services, we believe the effects of inflation, if any, on our results of operations and financial condition have not been significant. However, there can be no assurance that our results of operations and financial condition will not be materially impacted by inflation in the future. Interest Rate Risk Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including U.S. fiscal and monetary policies and domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors beyond our control. Interest rate risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in the level of interest rates and the spread between different interest rates. We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on debt, which bears interest at variable rates. Our debt has floating interest rates. We are exposed to changes in the level of interest rates and to changes in the relationship or spread between interest rates for its floating rate debt. Our floating rate debt requires payments based on variable interest rates such as the federal funds rate, prime rate, eurocurrency rate, and LIBOR. Therefore, increases in interest rates may reduce our net income or loss by increasing the cost of debt. As of March 31, 2022, we had convertible senior debt of $431.5 million, net of deferred issuance costs, and revolving credit facility borrowings of $17.7 million, net of deferred issuance costs, outstanding under the respective debt agreements. As of December 31, 2021, we had convertible senior debt of $429.3 million, net of deferred issuance costs, and revolving credit facility borrowings of $19.2 million, net of deferred issuance costs, outstanding. The borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement accrue interest at either base rate, described above under “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness ,” plus a margin of 1.50% to 2.50% or at an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.50% to 3.50% under the Amended Credit Agreement, in each case depending on the total net leverage ratio, as defined in the respective agreements governing the Amended Credit Agreement. In October 2019, we entered into a $140.0 million notional interest rate swap agreement, and in February 2020, we entered into a $30.0 million notional interest rate swap agreement, then a revised notional amount of $65.0 million beginning on September 30, 2020. These interest rate swaps effectively converted $205.0 million of the outstanding term loan into to fixed rate payments for 57 months and 60 months, respectively. A 1.0% increase or decrease in the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Successor Credit Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2020 would have increased or decreased cash interest expense on our indebtedness by approximately $1.0 million per annum and $1.0 million per annum, respectively. Both interest rate swaps were settled in January 2021. We may incur additional borrowings from time to time for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced its intention to phase out LIBOR rates by the end of 2021. The deadline has been mostly extended and most U.S. dollar-denominated LIBOR maturity tenors will continue to be published until June 30, 2023. It is not possible to predict the effect of any changes in the methods by which the LIBOR is determined, or any other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. Such developments may cause LIBOR to perform differently than in the past, including sudden or prolonged increases or decreases in LIBOR, or cease to exist, resulting in the application of a successor base rate under the Amended Credit Agreement, which in turn could have unpredictable effects on our interest payment obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk Invoices for our services are denominated in U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars. We do not expect our future operating results to be significantly affected by foreign currency transaction risk. 35
