FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protection of, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “estimates,” “will,” “should,” “plans” or “anticipates” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. Readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and may involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may vary materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors. Among the important factors that significantly impact our business and could impact our business in the future are:

•our reliance on our relationship with Popular, Inc. (“Popular”) for a significant portion of our revenues pursuant to our Master Services Agreement ("MSA") with them, and to grow our merchant acquiring business;

•as a regulated institution, the likelihood we will be required to obtain regulatory approval before engaging in certain new activities or businesses, whether organically or by acquisition, and our potential inability to obtain such approval on a timely basis or at all, which may make transactions more expensive or impossible to complete, or make us less attractive to potential sellers;

•our ability to renew our client contracts on terms favorable to us, including our contract with Popular, and any significant concessions we may grant to Popular with respect to pricing or other key terms arising out of any disputes or in anticipation of the negotiation of the extension of the MSA, both in respect of the current term and any extension of the MSA;

•our dependence on our processing systems, technology infrastructure, security systems and fraudulent payment detection systems, as well as on our personnel and certain third parties with whom we do business, and the risks to our business if our systems are hacked or otherwise compromised;

•our ability to develop, install and adopt new software, technology and computing systems;

•a decreased client base due to consolidations and failures in the financial services industry;

•the credit risk of our merchant clients, for which we may also be liable;

•the continuing market position of the ATH network;

•a reduction in consumer confidence, whether as a result of a global economic downturn or otherwise, which leads to a decrease in consumer spending;

•our dependence on credit card associations, including any adverse changes in credit card association or network rules or fees;

•changes in the regulatory environment and changes in international, legal, tax, political, administrative or economic conditions;

•the geographical concentration of our business in Puerto Rico, including our business with the government of Puerto Rico and its instrumentalities, which are facing severe political and fiscal challenges;

•additional adverse changes in the general economic conditions in Puerto Rico, whether as a result of the government’s debt crisis or otherwise, including the continued migration of Puerto Ricans to the U.S. mainland, which could negatively affect our customer base, general consumer spending, our cost of operations and our ability to hire and retain qualified employees;

•operating an international business in Latin America and the Caribbean, in jurisdictions with potential political and economic instability;

•our ability to protect our intellectual property rights against infringement and to defend ourselves against claims of infringement brought by third parties;

•our ability to comply with U.S. federal, state, local and foreign regulatory requirements;

•evolving industry standards and adverse changes in global economic, political and other conditions;

•our level of indebtedness and restrictions contained in our debt agreements, including the secured credit facilities, as well as debt that could be incurred in the future;

•our ability to prevent a cybersecurity attack or breach in our information security;

•the possibility that we could lose our preferential tax rate in Puerto Rico;

•the possibility of future catastrophic hurricanes, earthquakes and other potential natural disasters affecting our main markets in Latin America and the Caribbean;

•uncertainty related to the effect of the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate at the end of 2021;

•the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken in response to the outbreak, on our resources, net income and liquidity due to current and future disruptions in operations as well as the macroeconomic instability caused by the pandemic; and

•the nature, timing and amount of any restatement.

These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various important factors, including those set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 1, 2021, as updated in our subsequent filings with the SEC, and in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Report. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Report, and, except as required by applicable law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Issued Prior to 2021 and Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued updated guidance for ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform, to provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met for a limited period of time in order to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this update are elective and apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments to this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The adoption of this guidance will not have an impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Debt Securities

Accounting policy

Debt securities available-for-sale are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 320 Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, which requires that debt securities available-for-sale ("AFS") be carried at fair value on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets with unrealized gains (losses) recorded through other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Debt securities in an unrealized loss position which the Company intends to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before recovery of the amortized cost basis, are written down to fair value through income.

Quarterly, for debt securities in an unrealized loss position that the Company does not intend or will, more likely than not, not be required to sell, the Company evaluates if the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. If it is determined that the decline in fair value is related to credit losses, the Company records an allowance for credit losses, limited

to the amount by which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. If the Company determines that the decline in value is related to factors other than credit, the Company recognizes the impairment through OCI.

Debt securities were purchased close to the final trading day of the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and are held by a trust in the Costa Rica National Bank as a collateral requirement for settlement activities. The Company may substitute securities as needed but must maintain certain levels of collateral based on transaction volumes.

The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses recorded in OCI, and estimated fair value as of September 30, 2021 were as follows:


	September 30, 2021
(In thousands)			Gross unrealized
	Amortized cost		Gains	Losses	Fair Value
Costa Rica Government Obligations
After 1 to 5 years	$	2,963	97	—	$	3,060

No debt securities were sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. A provision for credit losses was not required for the period presented above. Refer to Note 7 for disclosure requirements related to the fair value hierarchy.

Note 4 – Property and Equipment, net

Balance at September 30, 2021	$	160,972	$	49,620	$	138,121	$	45,823	$	394,536

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of August 31, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate there may be impairment. The Company may test for goodwill impairment using a qualitative or a quantitative analysis. In the quantitative analysis, the Company compares the estimated fair value of the reporting units to their carrying values, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. If the fair value does not exceed the carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess of the carrying value over the fair value, limited to the recorded balance of goodwill. No impairment losses were recognized for the periods ended September 30, 2021 or 2020.

The carrying amount of other intangible assets at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was as follows:

Secured Credit Facilities

On November 27, 2018, EVERTEC and EVERTEC Group, LLC ("EVERTEC Group") (collectively, the “Borrower”) entered into a credit agreement providing for the secured credit facilities, consisting of a $220.0 million term loan A facility that matures on November 27, 2023 (the “2023 Term A Loan"), a $325.0 million term loan B facility that matures on November 27, 2024 (the “2024 Term B Loan”), and a $125.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) that matures on November 27, 2023, with a syndicate of lenders and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as administrative agent, collateral agent, swingline lender and line of credit issuer (collectively the “2018 Credit Agreement”).

The 2018 Credit Agreement requires mandatory repayment of outstanding principal balances based on a percentage of excess cash flow, provided that no such payment shall be due if the resulting amount of the excess cash flow multiplied by the applicable percentage is less than $10 million. On March 8, 2021 and March 5, 2020, in connection with this mandatory repayment clause, the Company repaid $17.8 million and $17.0 million, respectively, as a result of excess cash flow calculation performed for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The unpaid principal balance at September 30, 2021 of the 2023 Term A Loan and the 2024 Term B Loan was $174.4 million and $296.7 million, respectively. The additional borrowing capacity under our Revolving Facility at September 30, 2021 was $119.1 million. The Company issues letters of credit against the Revolving Facility which reduce the additional borrowing capacity of the Revolving Facility.

Notes Payable

In December 2019, EVERTEC Group entered into two non-interest bearing financing agreements amounting to $2.4 million to purchase software and maintenance. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the outstanding principal balance of the notes payable was $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively. These notes are included in accounts payable in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Interest Rate Swaps

As of September 30, 2021, the Company has an interest rate swap agreement, entered into in December 2018, which converts a portion of the interest rate payments on the Company's 2024 Term B Loan from variable to fixed:

The Company has accounted for this agreement as a cash flow hedge.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of the derivative included on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was $18.1 million and $25.6 million, respectively. The fair value of this derivative is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy on a recurring basis. Refer to Note 8 for disclosure of losses recorded on cash flow hedging activities.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company reclassified losses of $1.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense compared to $1.7 million and $3.3 million for the corresponding periods in 2020. Based on current LIBOR rates, the Company expects to reclassify losses of $7.0 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense over the next 12 months.

The cash flow hedge is considered highly effective.

Note 7 – Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Debt Securities Available for Sale

The fair value of debt securities is estimated based on observable inputs, therefore classified as a Level 2 asset within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of debt securities at September 30, 2021 was $3.1 million.

Derivatives Instruments

The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap is estimated using Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. This derivative was in a liability position with a balance of $18.1 million and $25.6 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The following table presents the carrying value, as applicable, and estimated fair value for financial instruments at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:


	September 30, 2021				December 31, 2020

2024 Term B Loan	294,291		296,657		306,503		308,339

The fair values of the term loans at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were obtained using prices provided by third party service providers. Their pricing is based on various inputs such as market quotes, recent trading activity in a non-active market or imputed prices. These inputs are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. Also, the pricing may include the use of an algorithm that could take into account movements in the general high yield market, among other variants. The secured term loans are not measured at fair value on the balance sheets.

Note 9 – Share-based Compensation

Long-term Incentive Plan ("LTIP")

In the first quarter of 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Company's Board of Directors ("Board") approved grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to executives and certain employees pursuant to the 2019 LTIP, 2020 LTIP and 2021 LTIP, respectively, all under the terms of the Company's 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. Under the LTIPs, the Company granted RSUs to eligible participants as time-based awards and/or performance-based awards.

The vesting of the RSUs is dependent upon service and/or performance conditions as defined in the grants. Employees that received time-based awards with service conditions are entitled to receive a specific number of shares of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date if the employee provides services to the Company through the vesting date. Time-based awards vest over a period of three years in substantially equal installments commencing on the grant date and ending on February 22 of each year for the 2019 LTIP, February 27 of each year for the 2020 LTIP, and March 2 of each year for the 2021 LTIP.

For the performance-based awards under the 2019 LTIP, 2020 LTIP, and 2021 LTIP, the Compensation Committee established adjusted earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") as the primary performance measure while maintaining focus on total shareholder return through the use of a market-based total shareholder return ("TSR") performance modifier. The Adjusted EBITDA measure is based on annual targets and can produce a payout between 0% and 200%. The TSR modifier adjusts the shares earned based on the core Adjusted EBITDA performance upwards or downwards (+/- 25%) based on the Company’s relative TSR at the end of the three-year performance period as compared to the companies in the Russell 2000 Index. The Adjusted EBITDA performance measure will be calculated for the one-year period commencing on January 1 of the year of the grant and ending on December 31 of the same year, relative to the goals set by the Compensation Committee for this same period. The shares earned will be subject to an additional two-year service vesting period and will vest on February 22, 2022 for the 2019 LTIP, February 27, 2023 for the 2020 LTIP, and March 2, 2024 for the 2021 LTIP. Unless otherwise specified in the award agreement, or in an employment agreement, awards are forfeited if the employee voluntarily ceases to be employed by the Company prior to vesting.

The following table summarizes nonvested RSUs activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:


Nonvested RSUs	Shares	Weighted-average grant date fair value
Nonvested at December 31, 2020	1,093,515	$	27.88
Granted	705,970	31.93
Vested	(683,706)	20.95
Forfeited	(27,845)	33.37
Nonvested at September 30, 2021	1,087,934	$	34.71

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $3.7 million and $10.9 million of share-based compensation expense, compared with $3.7 million and $10.8 million for the corresponding period in 2020.

As of September 30, 2021, the maximum unrecognized cost for RSUs was $23.1 million. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

The current portion of contract assets is recorded as part of prepaid expenses and other assets, and the long-term portion is included in other long-term assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts receivable, net at September 30, 2021 amounted to $95.5 million. Contract liability and contract liability - long term at September 30, 2021 amounted to $21.3 million and $31.1 million, respectively, and may arise when consideration is received or due in advance from customers prior to performance. The contract liability is mainly comprised of upfront fees for implementation or set up activities, including fees charged in pre-production periods in connection with hosting services. Contract liabilities may also arise when consideration is received or due in advance from customers prior to performance. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $5.3 million and $20.7 million, respectively that was included in the contract liability at December 31, 2020. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized revenue of $3.9 million and $13.1 million, respectively that was included in the contract liability at December 31, 2019.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations

The estimated aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at September 30, 2021 is $310.4 million. This amount primarily consists of professional service fees for implementation or set up activities related to managed services and maintenance services, typically recognized over the life of the contract, which varies from 2 to 5 years. It also includes professional service fees for customizations or development of on-premise licensing agreements, which are recognized over time based on inputs relative to the total expected inputs to satisfy a performance obligation.

Note 11 – Current Expected Credit Losses

Allowance for Current Expected Credit Losses

Trade receivables from contracts with customers are financial assets analyzed by the Company under the expected credit loss model. To measure expected credit losses, trade receivables are grouped based on shared risk characteristics (i.e., the relevant industry sector and customer's geographical location) and days past due (i.e., delinquency status), while considering the following:

•Customers in the same geographical location share similar risk characteristics associated with the macroeconomic environment of their country.

•The Company has two main industry sectors: private and governmental. The private pool is comprised mainly of leading financial institutions, merchants and corporations, while the governmental pool is comprised of government agencies. The governmental customers possess different risk characteristics than private customers because although all invoices are due 30 days after issuance, governmental customers usually pay within 60 to 90 days after issuance (i.e., approximately 30 to 60 more days than private customers).

•The expected credit loss rate is likely to increase as receivables move to older aging buckets. The Company used the following aging categories to estimate the risk of delinquency status: (i) 0 days past due; (ii) 1-30 days past due; (iii) 31-60 days past due; (iv) 61-90 days past due; and (v) over 90 days past due.

The credit losses of the Company’s trade receivables have been low historically and most balances are collected within one year. Therefore, the Company determined that the expected loss rates should be calculated using the historical loss rates adjusted by macroeconomic factors. The historical rates are calculated for each of the aging categories used for pooling trade receivables. To determine the collected portion of each bucket, the collection time of each trade receivable is identified, to estimate the proportion of outstanding balances per aging bucket that ultimately will not be collected. This is used to determine the expectation of losses based on the history of uncollected trade receivables once the specific past due period is surpassed. The historical rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of customers to settle the receivables by applying a country risk premium as the forward-looking macroeconomic factor. Specific reserves are established for certain customers for which collection is doubtful.

Rollforward of the Allowance for Expected Current Credit Losses

The following table provides information about the allowance for expected current credit losses on trade receivables.



(In thousands)	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Balance at beginning of period	$	2,401	$	3,460
Current period provision for expected credit losses	534		832
Write-offs	(177)		(1,894)
Recoveries of amounts previously written-off	1		3
Balance at end of period	$	2,759	$	2,401

The Company does not have a delinquency threshold for writing-off trade receivables. The Company has a formal process for the review and approval of write-offs.

Impairment losses on trade receivables are presented as net impairment losses within cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written-off, when applicable are credited against the allowance for expected current credit losses within accounts receivable, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies

EVERTEC is a defendant in a number of legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on the opinion of legal counsel and other factors, management believes that the final disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows of the Company. The Company has identified certain claims as a result of which a loss may be incurred, but in the aggregate the loss would be insignificant. For other claims regarding proceedings that are in an initial phase, the Company is unable to estimate the range of possible loss, if any, but at this time believes that any loss related to such claims will not be material.

Note 16 – Segment Information

The Company operates in four business segments: Payment Services - Puerto Rico & Caribbean, Payment Services - Latin America (collectively "Payment Services segments"), Merchant Acquiring, and Business Solutions.

The Payment Services - Puerto Rico & Caribbean segment revenues are comprised of revenues related to providing access to the ATH debit network and other card networks to financial institutions, including related services such as authorization, processing, management and recording of ATM and point of sale ("POS") transactions, and ATM management and monitoring. The segment revenues also include revenues from card processing services (such as credit and debit card processing, authorization and settlement and fraud monitoring and control to debit or credit issuers), payment processing services (such as payment and billing products for merchants, businesses and financial institutions), ATH Movil (person-to-person and person-to-merchant digital transactions) and EBT (which principally consist of services to the government of Puerto Rico for the delivery of benefits to participants). For ATH debit network and processing services, revenues are primarily driven by the number of transactions processed. Revenues are derived primarily from network fees, transaction switching and processing fees, and the leasing of POS devices. For card issuer processing, revenues are primarily dependent upon the number of cardholder accounts on file, transactions and authorizations processed, the number of cards embossed and other processing services. For EBT services, revenues are primarily derived from the number of beneficiaries on file.

The Payment Services - Latin America segment revenues consist of revenues related to providing access to the ATH network of ATMs and other card networks to financial institutions, including related services such as authorization, processing, management and recording of ATM and POS transactions, and ATM management and monitoring. The segment revenues also include revenues from card processing services (such as credit and debit card processing, authorization and settlement and fraud monitoring and control to debit or credit issuers), payment processing services (such as payment and billing products for merchants, businesses and financial institutions), as well as licensed software solutions for risk and fraud management and card payment processing. For network and processing services, revenues are primarily driven by the number of transactions processed. Revenues are derived primarily from network fees, transaction switching and processing fees, and the leasing of POS devices. For card issuer processing, revenues are primarily dependent upon the number of cardholder accounts on file, transactions and authorizations processed, the number of cards embossed, and other processing services.

The Merchant Acquiring segment consists of revenues from services that allow merchants to accept electronic methods of payment. In the Merchant Acquiring segment, revenues include a discount fee and membership fees charged to merchants, debit network fees and rental fees from POS devices and other equipment, net of credit card interchange and assessment fees charged by credit cards associations (such as VISA or MasterCard) or payment networks. The discount fee is generally a percentage of the transaction value. EVERTEC also charges merchants for other services that are unrelated to the number of transactions or the transaction value.

The Business Solutions segment consists of revenues from a full suite of business process management solutions in various product areas such as core bank processing, network hosting and management, IT professional services, business process outsourcing, item processing, cash processing, and fulfillment. Core bank processing and network services revenues are derived in part from a recurrent fixed fee and from fees based on the number of accounts on file (i.e. savings or checking accounts, loans, etc.) or computer resources utilized. Revenues from other processing services within the Business Solutions segment are generally volume-based and depend on factors such as the number of accounts processed. In addition, EVERTEC is a reseller of hardware and software products and these resale transactions are generally non-recurring.

In addition to the four operating segments described above, management identified certain functional cost areas that operate independently and do not constitute businesses in themselves. These areas could neither be concluded as operating segments nor could they be combined with any other operating segments. Therefore, these areas are aggregated and presented within the “Corporate and Other” category in the financial statements alongside the operating segments. The Corporate and Other category consists of corporate overhead expenses, intersegment eliminations, certain leveraged activities and other non-operating and miscellaneous expenses that are not included in the operating segments. The overhead and leveraged costs relate to activities such as:

•marketing,

•corporate finance and accounting,

•human resources,

•legal,

•risk management functions,

•internal audit,

•corporate debt related costs,

•non-operating depreciation and amortization expenses generated as a result of merger and acquisition activity,

•intersegment revenues and expenses, and

•other non-recurring fees and expenses that are not considered when management evaluates financial performance at a segment level

The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") reviews the operating segments separate financial information to assess performance and to allocate resources. Management evaluates the operating results of each of its operating segments based upon revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to operating segments, is presented in conformity with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, given that it is reported to the CODM for purposes of allocating resources. Segment asset disclosure is not used by the CODM as a measure of segment performance since the segment evaluation is driven by revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. As such, segment assets are not disclosed in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following tables set forth information about the Company’s operations by its four business segments for the periods indicated:

Executive Summary

EVERTEC is a leading full-service transaction-processing business in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and Latin America, providing a broad range of merchant acquiring, payment services and business process management services. According to the August 2020 Nilson Report, we are one of the largest merchant acquirers in Latin America based on total number of transactions and we believe we are the largest merchant acquirer in the Caribbean and Central America. We serve 26 countries out of 11 offices, including our headquarters in Puerto Rico. We own and operate the ATH network, one of the leading personal identification number ("PIN") debit networks in Latin America. We manage a system of electronic payment networks and offer a comprehensive suite of services for core banking, cash processing, and fulfillment in Puerto Rico, that process approximately three billion transactions annually. Additionally we offer technology outsourcing in all the regions we serve. We serve a diversified customer base of leading financial institutions, merchants, corporations and government agencies with “mission-critical” technology solutions that enable them to issue, process and accept transactions securely. We believe our business is well-positioned to continue to expand across the fast-growing Latin American region.

We are differentiated, in part, by our diversified business model, which enables us to provide our varied customer base with a broad range of transaction-processing services from a single source across numerous channels and geographic markets. We believe this capability provides several competitive advantages that will enable us to continue to penetrate our existing customer base with complementary new services, win new customers, develop new sales channels and enter new markets. We believe these competitive advantages include:

•Our ability to provide competitive products;

•Our ability to provide in one package a range of services that traditionally had to be sourced from different vendors;

•Our ability to serve customers with disparate operations across several geographies with technology solutions that enable them to manage their business as one enterprise; and

•Our ability to capture and analyze data across the transaction-processing value chain and use that data to provide value-added services that are differentiated from those offered by pure-play vendors that serve only one portion of the transaction-processing value chain (such as only merchant acquiring or payment services).

Our broad suite of services spans the entire transaction-processing value chain and includes a range of front-end customer-facing solutions such as the electronic capture and authorization of transactions at the point-of-sale, as well as back-end support services such as the clearing and settlement of transactions and account reconciliation for card issuers. These include: (i) merchant acquiring services, which enable point of sales (“POS”) and e-commerce merchants to accept and process electronic

methods of payment such as debit, credit, prepaid and electronic benefit transfer (“EBT”) cards; (ii) payment processing services, which enable financial institutions and other issuers to manage, support and facilitate the processing of credit, debit, prepaid, automated teller machines (“ATM”) and EBT card programs; and (iii) business process management solutions, which provide “mission-critical” technology solutions such as core bank processing, as well as IT outsourcing and cash management services to financial institutions, corporations and governments. We provide these services through scalable, end-to-end technology platforms that we manage and operate in-house and that generate significant operating efficiencies that enable us to maximize profitability.

We sell and distribute our services primarily through a proprietary direct sales force with established customer relationships. We continue to pursue joint ventures and merchant acquiring alliances. We benefit from an attractive business model, the hallmarks of which are recurring revenue, scalability, significant operating margins and moderate capital expenditure requirements. Our revenue is predominantly recurring in nature because of the mission-critical and embedded nature of the services we provide. In addition, we generally negotiate multi-year contracts with our customers. We believe our business model should enable us to continue to grow our business organically in the primary markets we serve without significant incremental capital expenditures.

Relationship with Popular

On September 30, 2010, EVERTEC Group entered into a 15-year Master Services Agreement ("MSA"), and several related agreements with Popular. Under the terms of the MSA, Popular agreed to use EVERTEC services on an ongoing exclusive basis for the duration of the agreement. Additionally, Popular granted us a right of first refusal on the development of certain new financial technology products and services for the duration of the MSA.

Factors and Trends Affecting the Results of Our Operations

The ongoing migration from cash and paper methods of payment to electronic payments continues to benefit the transaction-processing industry globally. We believe that the penetration of electronic payments in the markets in which we operate is significantly lower relative to the U.S. market, and that this ongoing shift will continue to generate substantial growth opportunities for our business. For example, the adoption of banking products, including electronic payments, in the Latin American and Caribbean regions is lower relative to the mature U.S. and European markets. We believe that the unbanked and underbanked population in our markets will continue to shrink, and therefore drive incremental penetration and growth of electronic payments in Puerto Rico and other Latin American regions. We also benefit from the trend of financial institutions and government agencies outsourcing technology systems and processes. Many medium- and small-size institutions in the Latin American markets in which we operate have outdated computer systems and updating these IT legacy systems is financially and logistically challenging, which presents a business opportunity for us.

Finally, our financial condition and results of operations are, in part, dependent on the economic and general conditions of the geographies in which we operate.

Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $9.4 million or 7% to $145.9 million when compared to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by transactional revenue growth in Puerto Rico as we continue to benefit from federal stimulus, and increased revenue from ATH Movil and ATH Movil Business. Revenue growth in Latin America is driven mainly by client implementations in the beginning of the current year, organic growth from existing customers and the continued expansion of Place to Pay. Prior year revenue includes $4.4 million recognized in connection with one-time services provided to the Puerto Rico Department of Education.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 amounted to $63.0 million, an increase of $5.1 million or 9% when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase during the three months was primarily driven by an increase in personnel costs, higher professional fees, and an increase in technology services.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $0.4 million or 3% when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily driven by an increase in personnel costs, partially offset by a decrease on professional services.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 amounted to $18.7 million, an increase of $0.6 million or 3% when compared to the same period in the prior year. Increased expense during the three months is driven by software amortization due to key projects that went into production as well as increased capital expenditures.

Revenues

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $58.2 million or 15% to $434.6 million when compared to the same period in the prior year. Revenue increased across all of the Company's segments. The increase in Puerto Rico was primarily driven by transactional revenue growth which was positively impacted by incremental federal stimulus, increased consumer demand and the continuous adoption of the Company's digital solutions, mainly ATH Movil and ATH Movil Business. Latin America revenue growth was mainly driven from new business and projects that went into production, and organic growth from existing clients and the expansion of our payment gateway Place to Pay. Revenue in the prior year period was impacted by COVID-19 stay-at-home orders in all of the regions in which the Company operates.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 amounted to $182.2 million, an increase of $13.3 million or 8% when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased by $1.5 million or 3% when compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease is almost entirely related to a decrease in professional services as prior year includes expenses for corporate transactions, partially offset by an increase in personnel costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 amounted to $56.1 million, an increase of $2.3 million or 4% when compared to the same period in the prior year. Increased expense during the period is driven by the same factors explained above for the quarter.

Non-operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased by $2.3 million to $11.9 million when compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a $1.6 million decrease in interest expense as a result of lower interest rates and a lower outstanding balance as a result of debt repayments completed in the prior year and in the first half of 2021.

The effective tax rate for the period was 10.8% compared with 17.7% in the 2020 period. The decrease in the effective tax rate primarily reflects the impact from the reversal of a liability for uncertain tax positions as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitation in the current year, while the prior year was impacted by the revenue mix towards higher taxed businesses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of liquidity is cash generated from operations, and our primary liquidity requirements are the funding of working capital needs, capital expenditures, and acquisitions. We also have a $125.0 million Revolving Facility, of which $119.1 million was available for borrowing as of September 30, 2021. The Company issues letters of credit against our Revolving Facility which reduce our availability of funds to be drawn.

As of September 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $244.1 million, of which $87.8 million resides in our subsidiaries located outside of Puerto Rico for purposes of (i) funding the respective subsidiary’s current business operations and (ii) funding potential future investment outside of Puerto Rico. We intend to indefinitely reinvest these funds outside of Puerto Rico, and based on our liquidity forecast, we will not need to repatriate this cash to fund the Puerto Rico operations or to meet debt-service obligations. However, if in the future we determine that we no longer need to maintain cash balances within our foreign subsidiaries, we may elect to distribute such cash to the Company in Puerto Rico. Distributions from the foreign subsidiaries to Puerto Rico may be subject to tax withholding and other tax consequences. Additionally, our credit agreement imposes certain restrictions on the distribution of dividends from subsidiaries.

Our primary use of cash is for operating expenses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service, acquisitions, dividend payments, share repurchases, and other transactions as opportunities present themselves.

Based on our current level of operations, we believe our cash flows from operations and the available secured Revolving Facility will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months. However, our ability to fund future operating expenses, dividend payments, capital expenditures, mergers and acquisitions, and our ability to make scheduled payments of interest, to pay principal on or refinance our indebtedness and to satisfy any other of our present or future debt obligations will depend on our future operating performance, which may be affected by general economic, financial and other factors beyond our control.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $175.9 million compared to $121.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The $54.7 million increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily driven by the increase in net income, an increase in collections for accounts receivable and a decrease in cash used to pay down accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $60.3 million compared to $36.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The $23.4 million increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of a $14.8 million customer relationship, an increase in additions to software of $7.5 million, and the purchase of $3.0 million in available-for-sale debt securities during the period.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $74.1 million compared to $50.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The $23.3 million increase was mainly attributed to an increase in cash used to repurchase common stock of $17.1 million and a $5.3 million increase in withholding taxes paid on share-based compensation.

Capital Resources

Our principal capital expenditures are for hardware and computer software (purchased and internally developed) and additions to property and equipment. We invested approximately $43.4 million and $36.9 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition, in 2021, the Company acquired a $14.8 million customer relationship as well as $3.0 million in available-for-sale debt securities. Generally, we fund capital expenditures with cash flow generated from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under our Revolving Facility.

Dividend Payments

On February 18, 2021, April 22, 2021 and July 22, 2021, respectively the Board declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.05 per share of common stock, which were paid on March 26, 2021, June 4, 2021 and September 3, 2021, respectively, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 2021, May 3, 2021 and August 2, 2021, respectively.

On October 21, 2021, our Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share on the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. The dividend will be paid on December 3, 2021 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 1, 2021. The Board anticipates declaring this dividend in future quarters on a regular basis; however future declarations of dividends are subject to the Board’s approval and may be adjusted as business needs or market conditions change.

The Company has accounted for this agreement as a cash flow hedge.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company reclassified losses of $1.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense compared to $1.7 million and $3.3 million for the corresponding period in 2020. Based on current LIBOR rates, the Company expects to reclassify losses of $7.0 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense over the next 12 months.

The cash flow hedge is considered highly effective.

Covenant Compliance

As of September 30, 2021, our secured leverage ratio was 1.47 to 1.00, as determined in accordance with the 2018 Credit Agreement. As of the date of filing of this Form 10-Q, no event has occurred that constitutes an Event of Default or Default under our 2018 Credit Agreement.

Net Income Reconciliation to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share (Non-GAAP Measures)

We define “EBITDA” as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments described below. Adjusted EBITDA by segment is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to our segments, is presented in conformity with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, and is excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures under the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. We define “Adjusted Net Income” as net income adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments described below. We define “Adjusted Earnings per common share” as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted shares outstanding.

We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we consider them important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of ourselves and other companies in our industry. In addition, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is substantially consistent with the equivalent measurements that are contained in the senior secured credit facilities in testing EVERTEC Group’s compliance with covenants therein such as the secured leverage ratio. We use Adjusted Net Income to measure our overall profitability because we believe better reflects our comparable operating performance by excluding the impact of the non-cash amortization and depreciation that was created as a result of the Merger. In addition, in evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses such as those excluded in calculating them. Further, our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future operating results will not be affected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

Some of the limitations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted earnings per common share are as follows:

•they do not reflect cash outlays for capital expenditures or future contractual commitments;

•they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital;

•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements;

•in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, they do not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest, or principal payments, on indebtedness;

•in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, they do not reflect income tax expense or the cash necessary to pay income taxes; and

•other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings per common share or may calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share differently than as presented in this Report, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share are not measurements of liquidity or financial performance under GAAP. You should not consider EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of cash flows, as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to operating or net income determined in accordance with GAAP.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into commercial commitments. With the exception of the letters of credit issued against the Revolving Facility which reduce the additional borrowing capacity of the Revolving Facility, as of September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet items.

Seasonality

Our payment businesses generally experience moderate increased activity during the traditional holiday shopping periods and around other nationally recognized holidays, which follow consumer spending patterns.

Effect of Inflation

While inflationary increases in certain input costs, such as occupancy, labor and benefits, and general administrative costs, have an impact on our operating results, inflation has had minimal net effect on our operating results during the last three years as overall inflation has been offset by increased selling process and cost reduction actions. We cannot assure you, however, that we will not be affected by general inflation in the future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks arising from our normal business activities. These market risks principally involve the possibility of changes in interest rates that will adversely affect the value of our financial assets and liabilities or future cash flows and earnings. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices.

Interest Rate Risks

We issued floating-rate debt which is subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Our secured credit facilities accrue interest at variable rates and only the 2024 Term B Loan is subject to a floor or a minimum rate. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates over our floor(s) on our debt balances outstanding as of September 30, 2021, under the secured credit facilities, would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $2.7 million. The impact on future interest expense as a result of future changes in interest rates will depend largely on the gross amount of our borrowings at that time.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company has an interest rate swap agreement, entered into December 2018, which converts a portion of our outstanding variable rate debt to fixed.

The interest rate swap exposes us to credit risk in the event that the counterparty to the swap agreement does not or cannot meet its obligations. The notional amount is used to measure interest to be paid or received and does not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The loss would be limited to the amount that would have been received, if any, over the remaining life of the swap. The counterparty to the swap is a major US based financial institution and we expect the counterparty to be able to perform its obligations under the swap. We use derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes only and not for trading or speculative purposes

See Note 6 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the secured credit facilities.

Foreign Exchange Risk

We conduct business in certain countries in Latin America. Some of this business is conducted in the countries’ local currencies. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments, from operations for which the functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $32.7 million in an unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustment as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss compared with an unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustment of $24.8 million at December 31, 2020.
