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”).
Words such as “believes,” “expects,” "anticipates," "intends," "projects," “estimates,” and “plans” and similar expressions of future or conditional verbs such as "will,""should,""would," "may," and "could" are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. 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 factors. Among the 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 second amended and restated Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) with them, and as it may impact our ability to grow our business;
•our ability to renew our client contracts on terms favorable to us, including but not limited to the current term and any extension of the MSA with Popular;
•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/or 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 macroeconomic, market, international, legal, tax, political, or administrative conditions, including inflation or the risk of recession;
•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;
•the impact of foreign exchange rates on operations;
•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 the impact of rising interest rates, 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 to our information security;
•the possibility that we could lose our preferential tax rate in Puerto Rico;
•failure to satisfy one or more conditions to closing of the Transaction(as defined below);
•the inability to integrate Sinqia (as defined below) successfully into the Company or to achieve expected accretion to our earnings per common share;
•the loss of personnel or customers in connection with the Transaction,;
•the cost and other terms of new debt financing incurred in connection with the Transaction; and
•the possibility of future catastrophic hurricanes, earthquakes and other potential natural disasters affecting our main markets in Latin America and the Caribbean.
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 factors, including those set forth under “Part 1, Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 24, 2023, as updated by Part II, Item 1A.“Risk Factors” in this Report,” and in Part I, Item 2.“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Report as updated in our subsequent filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless it is required to do so by law.

Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of EVERTEC have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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, 2022, included in the Company’s 2022 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. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Settlement Assets and Liabilities
Settlement assets and liabilities result from timing differences in the Company’s settlement processes with merchants, financial institutions, and credit card associations related to merchant and card transaction processing. The amounts are generally collected or paid the following business day. Settlement assets represent cash received or amounts receivable from agents, payment networks, bank partners, merchants or direct consumers. Settlement liabilities represent amounts payable to merchants and payees. Settlement assets were historically presented within cash and accounts receivable, while Settlement liabilities were presented within accrued liabilities and accounts payable.
Note 2 – Business Acquisition
Acquisition of a Business
On February 16, 2023, the Company closed on the acquisition of 100% of Paysmart Pagamentos Eletronicos Ltda (“paySmart”). Headquartered in Porto Alegre, Brazil, paySmart provides issuer processing services and BIN Sponsorship services for prepaid programs under domestic and international schemes in Brazil. The aggregate purchase price was $130 million Brazilian reais, approximately USD$25 million. The acquisition expands the Company's footprint in Brazil and compliments the current product offering in the country.

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 a qualitative analysis, the Company assesses whether it is "more likely than not" that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In the quantitative analysis, the Company compares the estimated fair value of the reporting units to their carrying values, including goodwill. No impairment losses were recognized for the periods ended June 30, 2023 or 2022. Refer to Note 2 - Business Acquisition, for further details of goodwill acquired in the first quarter of 2023.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of the derivatives included on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was $7.7 million and $7.4 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 gains recorded on cash flow hedging activities.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reclassified gains of $1.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense compared to losses of $1.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2022. Based on current SOFR rates, the Company expects to reclassify gains of $5.8 million from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense over the next 12 months.
The cash flow hedge is considered highly effective.

Note 9 – Share-based Compensation
Long-term Incentive Plan ("LTIP")
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, 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 2021 LTIP, 2022 LTIP and 2023 LTIP, respectively, all under the terms of the Company's 2022 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 award agreements. 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 March 2 of each year for the 2021 LTIP, February 25 of each year for the 2022 LTIP and February 24 of each year for the 2023 LTIP. In 2022 and 2023, the Company also granted time-based awards with a three year service vesting period which will cliff vest on February 25, 2025 and February 24, 2026, respectively.
For the performance-based awards under the 2021 LTIP, 2022 LTIP, and 2023 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 result in a payout between 0% and 200%, depending on the performance level. The TSR modifier adjusts the shares earned based on the 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 March 2, 2024 for the 2021 LTIP, February 25, 2025 for the 2022 LTIP, and February 24, 2026 for the 2023 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 six months ended June 30, 2023:

Accounts receivable, net at June 30, 2023 amounted to $109.4 million. Contract liability and contract liability - long term at June 30, 2023 amounted to $17.8 million and $33.3 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 six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $4.3 million and $8.7 million, respectively, that was included in the contract liability at December 31, 2022. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $5.0 million and $12.1 million, respectively, that was included in the contract liability at December 31, 2021.
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 June 30, 2023 is $944.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over the next 1 to 6 years. This amount consists of minimums on certain master services agreements, professional service fees for implementation or set up activities related to managed services and maintenance services typically recognized over the life of the contract, and 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:
15
•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.

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 15 – Related Party Transactions
In connection with closing of the Popular Transaction on July 1, 2022, the Company terminated the existing stockholder agreement with Popular, which granted Popular certain benefits as a shareholder of the Company. In addition, on August 15, 2022, through a secondary offering, Popular sold its remaining shares of common stock of Evertec and as of that date no longer holds any shares of EVERTEC common stock. EVERTEC is no longer considered a subsidiary of Popular under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “Bank Holding Company Act”). Given both the termination of the stockholder agreement and that Popular is no longer a shareholder of EVERTEC, management concluded that Popular is no longer a related party as of August 15, 2022.
The following table presents the Company’s transactions with Popular for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 while they were deemed a related party:

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 ATH Business (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.), server capacity usage 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. Effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company modified the manner in which it calculates and reports Adjusted EBITDA presented to the CODM for assessing segment performance to exclude the impact of non-cash unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash unrealized items and unusual expenses such as: share-based compensation, restructuring related expenses, fees and expenses from corporate transactions such as M&A activity and financing, equity investment income net of dividends received, and the impact from unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency remeasurement for assets and liabilities in non-functional currency. 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. The Company has recast prior periods to conform with the modified definition of Adjusted EBITDA. Segment asset disclosure is not used by the CODM as a measure of segment performance since the segment
19
evaluation is driven by revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. As such, segment assets are not disclosed in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Merger Transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023 and is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. Evertec intends to finance the Merger Transaction with cash on hand and committed financing of $600 million.

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 September 2022 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. We serve 26 countries out of 12 offices, including our headquarters in Puerto Rico. We own and operate the ATH network, which we believe is one of the leading personal identification number (“PIN”) debit networks in Latin America. We process over six billion transactions annually through a system of electronic payment networks in Puerto Rico and Latin America and a comprehensive suite of services for core banking, cash processing, and fulfillment in Puerto Rico. Additionally, we offer technology outsourcing and payment transactions fraud monitoring to 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 in 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 for both card present transactions and card not present transactions, as well as back-end support services such as the clearing and settlement of
23
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 for 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 enter into 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 MSA, and several related agreements with Popular. On July 1, 2022, we modified and extended the main commercial agreements with Popular, including a 10-year extension of the Merchant Acquiring Independent Sales Organization Agreement (as amended, the "A&R ISO Agreement"), a 5-year extension of the ATH Network Participation Agreement and a 3-year extension of the MSA (the "A&R ISO Agreement"). The A&R ISO Agreement, which defines our merchant acquiring relationship with Popular, now includes revenue sharing provisions with Popular. The MSA modifications also include the elimination of the exclusivity requirement, the inclusion of annual MSA minimums through September 30, 2028, a 10% discount on certain MSA services beginning in October of 2025 and adjustments to the CPI pricing escalator clause. On the same date, we also sold to Popular certain assets in exchange for 4.6 million shares of EVERTEC common stock owned by Popular (collectively with the contract amendments, the "Popular Transaction"). On August 15, 2022, through a secondary offering, Popular sold its remaining shares of EVERTEC common stock. EVERTEC is no longer deemed a subsidiary of Popular under the Bank Holding Company Act. Popular continues to be the Company's largest customer and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 approximately 37% of our revenues were generated from this relationship.
2023 Developments
On July 20, 2023, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement and Other Covenants (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Evertec Brasil Informática S.A, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Evertec (“Evertec BR”), Sinqia S.A., a publicly held company incorporated and existing in accordance with the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil (“Sinqia”), and certain other Key Shareholders (as defined therein), as shareholders of Sinqia. The Board and the board of directors of Sinqia (the “Sinqia Board”) have unanimously approved the Merger Agreement.
Pursuant to and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement,a business combination of Evertec BR and Sinqia will be carried out through a merger of all shares issued by Sinqia into Evertec BR pursuant to provisions of the Brazilian Corporations Law (the “Merger of Shares”), and as a result of such Merger of Shares, Sinqia will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Evertec BR.
At the effective time of the Merger of Shares, each common share of Sinqia (the “Sinqia Common Shares”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger of Shares will be exchanged by (a) one class A mandatorily redeemable preferred share issued by Evertec BR (“Evertec BR New Class A Shares”), and (b) one class B mandatorily redeemable preferred share issued by Evertec BR (“Evertec BR New Class B Shares” and, jointly with Evertec BR New Class A Shares, the “Evertec BR New Shares”). Immediately upon implementation of the Merger of Shares, all Evertec BR New Shares delivered to the then shareholders of Sinqia will be automatically redeemed and canceled (the “Redemption”, and together with the Merger of Shares, the “Transaction”), and each then shareholder of Sinqia will be entitled to receive, for each Evertec BR New Class A Share held, (i) twenty-four Reais and forty-seven cents (R$ 24.47), increased by a customary daily “ticking fee” of up to one Reais (R$1.00) per share depending on the timing of the closing and subject to other customary adjustments as set forth in the Merger Agreement, and (ii) Brazilian Depositary Receipts representing 0.014354 underlying share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Evertec. The Transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023and is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions
On the same date, Evertec also obtained financing commitments for the purpose of financing the Transaction and paying related fees and expenses with debt financing in an aggregate principal amount of $600 million (as such amount may be increased).
24
The obligations of the lenders to provide debt financing under the related debt commitment letter are subject to customary terms and conditions.
This complementary acquisition is expected to help the Company enhance existing growth strategy and diversify the Company’s business, expand the Company’s addressable markets, increase the Company’s product offering, and attract revenue synergies.
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, which, together with the ongoing shift from cash and paper methods of payment to electronic payments will continue to generate growth opportunities for our business. For example, currently the adoption of banking products, including electronic payments, in the Latin America and Caribbean region 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 America regions. We also benefit from the outsourcing of technology systems and processes trend for financial institutions and government. 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.
In recent years, consumer preference has accelerated its shift away from cash and paper payment methods, noting increased demand for omni-channel payment services that facilitate cashless and contactless transactions. The markets in which we operate, particularly Latin America and the Caribbean, continue to grow and consumer preference is driving an increase for electronic payments usage. Latin America is one of the fastest-growing mobile markets globally, with a growing base of tech-savvy customers that demonstrate a preference for credit cards, digital wallets, contactless payments, and other value-added offerings. The region's FinTech sector is driving change via new contactless payment technology, which is becoming a popular alternative to cash payments. We continue to believe that the attractive characteristics of our markets and our position across multiple services and sectors will continue to drive growth and profitability in our businesses.
Our payment businesses also generally experience moderate increased activity during the traditional holiday shopping periods and around other nationally recognized holidays, which follow consumer spending patterns.
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. Rising interest rates, inflationary pressures and economic uncertainty in the markets in which we operate may affect consumer confidence, which could result in a decrease in consumer spending and an impact to our financial results.

Revenues
Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $167.1 million, an increase of 4% compared with $160.6 million in the same period in the prior year. The revenue increase was primarily driven by growth in the Company's payment segments, both Puerto Rico and Latin America. Merchant acquiring revenue reflected a higher spread which is mainly due to the continued benefit from pricing initiatives, shift in the card mix, and an increase in sales volumes. Payment processing growth in Puerto
25
Rico was driven by increased transaction volumes as well as continued growth in ATH Movil revenues, primarily from the ATH Business. Revenues also reflect the contribution from organic growth in Payment Services Latin America, and the positive impact from revenue contribution from the BBR and paySmart acquisitions, completed in the third quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023, respectively. These increases were partially offset by the impact to business solutions from the assets sold as part of the Popular Transaction in the third quarter of 2022.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to $80.5 million, an increase of $6.1 million or 8% when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase during the three month period was primarily driven by the revenue sharing agreement with Banco Popular as well as an increase in personnel costs, mainly due to increased headcount in Latin America, including the additional headcount from the BBR and paySmart acquisitions and an increase in cloud services as utilization continues to grow. These increases were partially offset by the impact in the prior year of a $4.1 million impairment loss on a multi-year software development.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to $29.5 million, an increase of $9.5 million or 47% when compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in professional fees related to corporate transactions and increased personnel costs.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to $22.3 million, an increase of $2.8 million or 14% when compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in amortization of intangible assets created in connection with the aforementioned acquisitions, as well as an increase in software amortization for internally developed software.

Segment Results of Operations
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 ATH Business (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.), server capacity usage 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.
28
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. Effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company modified the manner in which it calculates and reports Adjusted EBITDA presented to the CODM for assessing segment performance to exclude the impact of non-cash unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash unrealized items and unusual expenses such as: share-based compensation, restructuring related expenses, fees and expenses from corporate transactions such as M&A activity and financing, equity investment income net of dividends received, and the impact from non-cash unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency remeasurement for assets and liabilities in non-functional currency. 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. The Company has recast prior periods to conform with the modified definition of Adjusted EBITDA. 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 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 below.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $5.3 million to $29.2 million. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in revenues in addition to lower operating expenses, primarily due to the impact in the prior year of a $4.1 million impairment loss on a multi-year software development.

Payment Services - Puerto Rico & Caribbean segment revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $13.1 million to $99.2 million when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in revenues was primarily driven by the same drivers as in the quarter, as well as revenue contribution from the small acquisition completed in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $9.3 million to $57.1 million. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in revenues, the impact of the impairment charge recognized in 2022 and reduced printing and personnel costs partially offset by higher operating expenses, including an increase in operational losses and higher professional fees.

This increase was primarily due to the same factors explained above for the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $4.6 million when compared to the same period in the prior year driven by the increase in revenues, partially offset by higher personnel costs, the negative impact from foreign currency remeasurement, as well as an increase in professional fees.

Merchant Acquiring segment revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $7.4 million to $81.6 million when compared to the same period in the prior year. The revenue increase was primarily driven by an increase in sales volume mainly due to new higher volume merchants and incremental sales volume in existing merchants, higher spread due to the continued benefit from pricing initiatives as well as a shift in the mix of credit cards spend towards premium cards. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $3.3 million as compared to the prior year period. This decrease was mainly driven by higher operating expenses, including the revenue sharing agreement with Popular, higher processing costs from the Payment Services Puerto Rico segment and the effect of a declining average ticket.

This decrease was primarily due to the same factors explained above for the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $13.7 million to $45.7 million as compared to the prior year period. This decrease was driven by the decrease in revenues partially offset by reduced expenses along with lower infrastructure spending.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2023, there are no material changes to our primary short-term and long-term requirements for liquidity and capital as disclosed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2023. Our principal source of liquidity is cash generated from operations, and our primary liquidity requirements are the funding of working capital needs, capital expenditures, dividend payments, share repurchases, debt service, and acquisitions.
31
We also have a $200.0 million Revolving Facility, of which $194.0 million was available for borrowing as of June 30, 2023. The Company issues letters of credit against our Revolving Facility which reduce our availability of funds to be drawn. The Company has also obtained financing commitments for the purpose of financing the Sinqia acquisition and paying related fees and expenses with debt financing in an aggregate principal amount of $600 million (as such amount may be increased). The obligations of the lenders to provide debt financing under the related debt commitment letter are subject to customary terms and conditions.
As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $191.6 million, of which $133.6 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.
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 six months ended June 30, 2023 was $126.2 million compared to $129.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The $3.7 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by the decrease in net income partially offset by less cash used to pay down accounts payable and accrued liabilities as the Company continues to effectively manage working capital.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $58.4 million compared to $46.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The $12.2 million increase was primarily attributable to the paySmart acquisition, which closed in the first quarter of 2023 for $22.9 million and an increase in software additions of $5.2 million, along with an increase of $1.3 million in property and equipment acquired partially offset by the acquisition of customer relationships and certificates of deposit amounting to $10.6 million and $7.3 million, respectively, in the prior period.
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $58.6 million compared to $58.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The $0.2 million decrease was mainly attributed to cash used to pay down the Revolving Facility for $20.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in cash used for repurchases of common stock of $19.4 million.
Capital Resources
Our principal capital expenditures are for hardware and computer software (purchased and internally developed) and additions to our property and equipment. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we invested approximately $35.5 million and $29.0 million in our capital resources, respectively. In addition, during the six month period ended June 30, 2023, the Company acquired a business for $22.9 million, net of cash acquired. During the six month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company acquired customer relationships amounting to $10.6 million as well as $7.3 million in certificates of deposit. Generally, we fund capital expenditures with cash flow generated from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under our Revolving Facility and a committed financing of $600 million.

Dividend Payments
On April 20, 2023, the Board declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.05 per share of common stock, which were paid on June 2, 2023, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 1, 2023. On July 20, 2023, 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 September 1, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 31, 2023. 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.
Financial Obligations
Secured Credit Facilities
On December 1, 2022, EVERTEC and EVERTEC Group, entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders and Truist Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent, providing for (i) a $415.0 million term loan A facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a $200.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”, and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “2022 Credit Facilities”). The 2022 Credit Facilities mature on December 1, 2027.
At June 30, 2023, the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan Facility was $404.6 million. The additional borrowing capacity for the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2023 was $194.0 million. The Company issues letters of credit against the Revolving Facility which reduce the additional borrowing capacity of the Revolving Facility.
Interest Rate Swaps
As of June 30, 2023, the Company has two interest rate swap agreements, entered into in December 2018 and May 2023, which converts a portion of the interest rate payments on the Company's Term Loan from variable to fixed:
Swap Agreement | Effective date | Maturity Date | Notional Amount | Variable Rate | Fixed Rate | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2018 Swap | April 2020 | November 2024 | $250 million | 1-month SOFR | 2.929% | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2023 Swap | November 2024 | December 2027 | $250 million | 1-month SOFR | 3.375% |
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of the derivatives included on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was $7.7 million and $7.4 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 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for disclosure of gains recorded on cash flow hedging activities.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company reclassified gains of $1.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense compared to losses of $1.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2022. Based on current SOFR rates, the Company expects to reclassify gains of $5.8 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense over the next 12 months.
The cash flow hedges are considered highly effective.
Covenant Compliance
As of June 30, 2023, our secured leverage ratio was 0.86 to 1.00, as determined in accordance with the 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 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 certain non-cash unrealized items and unusual expenses such as: share-based compensation, restructuring related expenses, fees and expenses from corporate transactions such as M&A activity and financing, equity investment income net of dividends received, and the impact from non-cash unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency remeasurement for assets and liabilities in non-functional currency. 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
33
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 Adjusted EBITDA less: operating depreciation and amortization expense, defined as GAAP Depreciation and amortization less amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions such as customer relationships, trademarks; cash interest expense defined as GAAP interest expense, less GAAP interest income adjusted to exclude non-cash amortization of debt issue costs, premium and accretion of discount; income tax expense which is calculated on adjusted pre-tax income using the applicable GAAP tax rate, adjusted for uncertain tax position releases, tax true-ups, windfall from share-based compensation, non-cash unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement, among others; and non-controlling interest which is the 35% non-controlling equity interest in Evertec Colombia, net of amortization for intangibles created as part of the purchase. 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 merger and acquisition activity. 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. These measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations that are necessary to run our business. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use these measures or may calculate these measures differently than as presented herein, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
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.

Effect of Inflation
While it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of inflation on our results of operations and financial condition, we believe the effects of inflation, on our historical results of operations and financial condition have been immaterial. General inflation in the geographies in which we operate has risen to levels that have not been experienced in recent years, however, inflation has historically had a minimal net effect on our operating results given that overall inflation has been offset by sales and cost reduction actions.
Rising prices for input costs, including wages and benefits, occupancy and general administrative costs, could potentially have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition which may not be readily recoverable from our customers.
35
In addition, inflation has driven a rising interest rate environment, which has had an adverse effect on our cost of funding, as well as led to enhanced volatility on foreign currency exchange rates. While we proactively try to mitigate these rising costs, we may not be able to fully offset these impacts and these could result in negative effect on our results of operation. Thus, we cannot assure you that our results of operations and financial condition will not be materially impacted by inflation in the future.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, and in some instances, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. We base our assumptions, estimates, and judgments on historical experience, current events, and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. However, because future events are inherently uncertain and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. For a description of the Company’s critical accounting estimates, refer to “Part II-Item 7-Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Estimates” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2023.
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, foreign exchange risk that may result in unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustments and inflation. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. The following analysis provides quantitative information regarding these risks.
Interest Rate Risks
Interest rate risk is highly sensitive due to many factors, including U.S. monetary and tax policies, U.S. and international economic factors and other factors beyond our control.
We issued floating-rate debt which is subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Our secured credit facilities accrue interest at variable rates and are subject to a floor or a minimum rate. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates over our floor on our debt balances outstanding as of June 30, 2023, under the secured credit facilities, would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $2.6 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 June 30, 2023, 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 for which we have determined that the functional currency is other than the US dollar. Given this, our operating results are exposed to volatility due to fluctuations in exchange rates for the countries' functional currencies. Non-functional currency transactions are remeasured into the functional currency which results in a foreign exchange gain or loss recorded through Other income (expenses). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized non-cash unrealized foreign currency remeasurement gains of $0.3 million and losses $4.5 million, respectively, compared to losses of $1.7 million and gains of $0.9 million, respectively for the same periods in 2022 .
36
For subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, their assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates in effect during the period. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $2.7 million in an unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustment as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) compared with an unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustment of $23.5 million as of December 31, 2022.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-Q, disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2023, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a -15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
37
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are defendants in various lawsuits or arbitration proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes, based on the opinion of legal counsel and other factors, that the aggregated liabilities, if any, arising from such actions will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations and the cash flows of the Company.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Other than the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2023. For a discussion of the potential risks and uncertainties related to us, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The risks described below and those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Acquisitions, strategic investments, partnerships, or alliances could be difficult to identify, pose integration challenges, divert the attention of management, disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value, and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may in the future seek to acquire or invest in businesses, joint ventures, products and platform capabilities, or technologies that we believe could complement or expand our products and platform capabilities, enhance our technical capabilities, or otherwise offer growth opportunities. For example,in July 2023, we entered into the Merger Agreement,pursuant to which, among other things,upon closing Sinqia will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Evertec BR.Any such acquisition or investment may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable opportunities, whether or not the transactions are completed, and may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. In particular, we may encounter difficulties assimilating or integrating the businesses, technologies, products and platform capabilities, personnel, or operations of the acquired companies, particularly if we are unable to retain the key personnel of the acquired company, their software is not easily adapted to work with our existing platforms, or we have difficulty retaining customer, vendors and other relationships of any acquired business due to changes in ownership, management, or otherwise. These transactions may also disrupt our business, divert our resources, and require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for development of our existing businesses. Any such transactions that we are able to complete may not result in any synergies or other benefits we had expected to achieve, which could result in substantial impairment charges.
In addition, we may not be able to find and identify desirable acquisition targets or business opportunities or be successful in entering into agreements with any particular strategic partner. We expect that certain of our competitors, many of which have greater resources than we do, will compete with us in acquiring complementary businesses or products. This competition could increase prices for potential acquisitions that we believe are attractive. Also, acquisitions are often subject to various regulatory approvals. If we fail to receive the appropriate regulatory approvals, we may not be able to consummate an acquisition that we believe is in our best interests and may incur significant costs. These transactions could also result in transaction fees, dilutive issuances of our equity securities, incurrence of debt or contingent liabilities, and fluctuations in quarterly results and expenses. Further, if the resulting business from such a transaction fails to meet our expectations, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected, or we may be exposed to unknown risks or liabilities.
We may acquire businesses located primarily or entirely outside the United States which could increase our current exposure to international operations located in the Caribbean and Latin America including currency exchange fluctuations, regulatory and organizational complexity, and varying economic, climatic and geopolitical circumstances.
The failure to complete the Transaction or ultimately realize the benefits may adversely affect our business and our stock price.
Consummation of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including, (i) the absence of any court order or regulatory injunction with the effect of preventing or otherwise preventing the consummation of the Transaction, (ii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each party, (iii) compliance by each party in all material respects with its obligations and commitments under the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (iv) obtaining the registration of the BDR Level I program sponsored by Evertec with the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários - CVM, the Brazilian Securities Commission and the admission of the BDRs for trade on B3

S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”), (v) Evertec notifying Sinqia that it has completed its funding efforts for the closing, (vi) Sinqia obtaining the consent or waiver for the non-acceleration of the maturity date or prepayment of the two certain issuances of debentures of Sinqia as a result of the Transaction, (vii) the acceleration and cancellation of Sinqia’s stock option plans, (viii) the approval of the Protocolo e Justificação de Incorporação de Ações de Emissão da Sinqia S.A. pela Evertec Brasil Informática S.A., as required pursuant to Articles 224 and 225 of the Brazilian Corporation Law (the “Protocol”) by the Sinqia Board and the execution of the Protocol by Evertec BR’s management and Sinqia’s management, and subsequent calling of the Sinqia general shareholder’s meeting (“Sinqia’s GSM”), (ix) the necessary corporate approvals by Evertec and Evertec BR, including Evertec approving the Transaction and Evertec BR’s general shareholders’ meeting approving the Protocol, the ratification of the engagement of the appraisal company that shall prepare the appraisal report of Sinqia at economic value, to be prepared for purposes of the Merger of Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (the “Appraisal Report”), the Appraisal Report, the Merger of Shares, the capital increase of Evertec BR due to the Merger of Shares and consequent issuance of the Evertec BR New Shares and amendment to the bylaws of Evertec BR, the Redemption (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and authorization for the management of Evertec BR to adopt all measures necessary to perform the resolutions taken, (x) the necessary corporate approvals by Sinqia, including Sinqia’s GSM approving the Protocol, the Merger of Shares, the authorization for Sinqia’s management to subscribe to Evertec BR New Shares on the Closing Date, the waiver of Evertec BR’s obligation to be listed in the Novo Mercado special segment of B3 due to the Transaction, as required by Article 46, Sole Paragraph, of the Novo Mercado Ruling, and the authorization for Sinqia’s management to adopt all measures necessary to perform the resolutions taken and (xi) the absence of any Material Adverse Change (as defined in the Merger Agreement). There can be no assurance that these or other closing conditions will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all. Any delay in completing the Transaction could cause us not to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits when expected, if at all. If the Transaction is not completed, our stock price could decline to the extent it reflects an assumption that we will complete the acquisition. Furthermore, if the Transaction is not completed, we may suffer other consequences that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and stock price, including incurring significant acquisition costs that we would be unable to recover, negative publicity and a negative impression of us in the investment community.
Although we expect benefits to result from the Transaction, including future accretive impact to our earnings per common share and potential for revenue synergies, there can be no assurance that we will actually realize any of them, or realize them within the anticipated timeframe. Achieving these benefits will depend, in part, on our ability to integrate Sinqia’s business successfully and efficiently. The challenges involved in this integration will likely be complex and time consuming. If we do not successfully manage these issues and the other challenges inherent in integrating an acquired business, then we may not achieve the anticipated benefits, of the Transaction within our anticipated timeframe or at all and our revenue, expenses, operating results, financial condition and stock price could be materially adversely affected. The successful integration of the Sinqia business will require significant management attention both before and after the completion of the Transaction, and may divert the attention of management from our business and operational issues.
