INTRODUCTORY NOTE
On June 25, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), FTAC Olympus Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (both prior to and after the Closing Date, “FTOC”) consummated the previously announced reorganization (the “Reorganization”) with Payoneer Inc., a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement (as defined below), prior to the Closing Date and prior to the Reorganization, FTOC changed its jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as a Cayman Islands exempted company and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). In connection with the closing of the Reorganization, the registrant changed its name from New Starship Parent, Inc. (“ParentCo”) to Payoneer Global Inc. (“New Payoneer”). Following the Reorganization, New Payoneer became a publicly traded company, with Payoneer Inc., a subsidiary of New Payoneer, continuing the existing business operations.
References to the Reorganization Agreement shall mean that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (as amended on February 16, 2021, May 10, 2021 and June 22, 2021, the “Reorganization Agreement”), by and among FTOC, ParentCo, Starship Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of ParentCo, Starship Merger Sub II Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of ParentCo, and Payoneer Inc.
The Reorganization was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization for which Payoneer Inc. has been determined to be the accounting acquirer (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). As the Reorganization was accounted for as a Reverse Recapitalization, no goodwill or other intangible assets will be recorded, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, FTOC was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Payoneer Inc. issuing stock for the net assets of FTOC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of FTOC were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Reverse Recapitalization will be those of Payoneer Inc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, see “Item 2― New Payoneer’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ― Results of Operations” set forth below.
Unless otherwise noted herein, “we”, “us”, “our”, “Payoneer”, and the “Company” refer to Payoneer Inc. for the period prior to the Closing Date and to Payoneer Global Inc. for the period thereafter.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the information incorporated herein by reference, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “anticipate,” “appear,” “approximate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “foresee,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “would” and other similar words and expressions (or the negative version of such words or expressions) may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of Payoneer’s management and are inherently subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstances and their potential effects and speak only as of the date of such statement. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” discussed and identified in public filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Payoneer, and the following:
● | the expected benefits of the Reorganization; |
● | our financial performance following the Reorganization; |
● | the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and the actions we may take in response thereto; |
● | the effect of legal, tax and regulatory changes; and |
● | the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings. |
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of the assumptions made by the management of Payoneer prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Reorganization or other matters addressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and attributable to Payoneer or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, Payoneer undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Current Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Payoneer Global Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Payoneer” or the “Company”), incorporated in Delaware, empowers global commerce by connecting businesses, professionals, countries and currencies with its innovative cross-border payments platform. Payoneer enables businesses and professionals around the globe to reach new audiences while reducing the complexity involved in enabling overseas and cross-border trade, by facilitating seamless, cross-border payments. Payoneer offers its customers the flexibility to pay and get paid globally as easily as they do locally. The Company offers a suite of services that includes cross-border payments, physical and virtual Mastercard cards, working capital, risk management and other services. The fully-hosted service includes various payment options with minimal integration required, full back-office functions and customer support offered.
Payoneer is registered as a Money Service Business with the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and licensed as a Money Transmitter under the laws of all U.S. states where such license is necessary as well as in the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. During 2012, the Company, through Payoneer (EU) Limited., was granted an e-money license by the Gibraltar Financing Services Commission which enabled Payoneer (EU) Limited to issue prepaid cards and Payoneer accounts. Payoneer (EU) Limited issued prepaid cards and accounts balances and provided collection and global bank transfers services. In December 2020, the customers of Payoneer (EU) Limited were migrated to Payoneer Europe Limited, discussed further below, and on April 30, 2021, Payoneer (EU) Limited ceased to provide services and surrendered its license as an electronic money institution. During 2015, the Company, through Payoneer Hong Kong Limited, was granted a Money Service Operator License in Hong Kong which enables the Company to offer payment solutions from Hong Kong. During 2016, the Company, through Payoneer Japan Limited, was registered as a Funds Transfer Service Provider in Japan. During 2018, the Company, through Payoneer Australia PTY Limited, was registered as a Financial Services Licensee in Australia. During 2019, the Company, through Payoneer Europe Limited, was granted authorization to operate as an Electronic Money Institution from the Central Bank of Ireland and was then authorized pursuant to EU passporting rules to provide payment services under its license in all countries in the European Economic Area. Payoneer Europe Limited also holds a license with Mastercard to issue cards and as of December 31, 2020, was the issuer of the majority of cards issued to Payoneer customers. In January 2021, Payoneer entered into an agreement with an existing card issuing partner in the United States that enables Payoneer to also provide its customers with access to commercial Mastercard cards issued through the card issuing partner to make online purchases of commercial goods and services. This new commercial card provides advantages such as higher acceptance rates.
The Company supports customers that come from more than 190 countries and territories and operates in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment characterized by a heightened regulatory focus on all aspects of the payments industry. Government regulations impact key aspects of the Company’s business. The Company is subject to regulations that affect the payments industry in the markets in which the Company operates.
On June 25, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), FTAC Olympus Acquisition Corporation (“FTOC”), consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”), dated February 3, 2021, as amended, by and among FTOC, Payoneer Inc. (“Legacy Payoneer”), New Starship Parent Inc., a Delaware corporation (“New Starship”), Starship Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New Starship (“First Merger Sub”), Starship Merger Sub II Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New Starship (“Second Merger Sub” and, together with First Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”, and together with the Legacy Payoneer, FTOC, New Starship and the Merger Subs, the “Parties”). Pursuant to the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, a transaction between FTOC and Legacy Payoneer was effected through the merger of First Merger Sub with and into FTOC and the through a merger of Second Merger Sub with and into Legacy Payoneer (the “Reverse Recapitalization”).

NOTE 1 – GENERAL OVERVIEW (continued)
On the Closing Date, and in connection with the closing of the Reverse Recapitalization, New Starship became the combined company and changed its name to Payoneer Global Inc. (the “Company”). Legacy Payoneer was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Reverse Recapitalization based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805. This determination was primarily based on Legacy Payoneer’s stockholders prior to the Reverse Recapitalization having a majority of the voting interests in the combined company, Legacy Payoneer’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company, Legacy Payoneer’s board of directors comprising a majority of the board of directors of the combined company, Legacy Payoneer’s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company and the assets and revenue of Legacy Payoneer were greater than those of FTOC. As FTOC does not meet the definition of a “business” for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Payoneer issuing stock for the net assets of FTOC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of FTOC are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
While FTOC was the legal acquirer in the Reverse Recapitalization because Legacy Payoneer was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Legacy Payoneer became the historical financial statements of the combined company upon the consummation of the Reverse Recapitalization. As a result, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Legacy Payoneer prior to the Reverse Recapitalization; (ii) the combined results of the Company and Legacy Payoneer following the closing of the Reverse Recapitalization; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Legacy Payoneer at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented.
In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the equity structure has been retroactively adjusted in all comparative periods up to the Closing Date, to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share issued to Legacy Payoneer’s stockholders in connection with the Reverse Recapitalization transaction. As such, the shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share related to Legacy Payoneer redeemable convertible preferred stock and common stock prior to the Reverse Recapitalization have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement. In conjunction with the Reverse Recapitalization, the Company’s Common Stock underwent a 1-for-
conversion. Note that the consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect as though the conversion of the Company’s Common Stock occurred for all periods presented, without any change in the par value per share.Shelter-in-place orders, social distancing measures and travel restrictions following the extraordinary spread of COVID-19 fundamentally shifted commerce and the way buyers and sellers transact, accelerating digitalization and e-commerce trends.
Starting in January 2020, COVID impacted Payoneer teams, customers, and supply chains in Greater China. Starting in March 2020, due to broader travel restrictions, global travel and tourism slowed, negatively impacting our travel customer base. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates to zero in mid-March, negatively impacting our interest income revenues, associated with underlying customer accounts. Despite the global travel slowdown and interest rate cuts, and wavering consumer confidence, the pandemic driven shift in buying patterns from brick and mortar to e-commerce, led to an acceleration of digital commerce that created tailwinds which further strengthened the Company’s role in the global economy.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Payoneer Global Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in an entity where we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. For such investments, our share of the investee’s results of operations is shown within Share in losses of associated company on our condensed consolidated statements of income and our investment balance as an investment in associated company on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The consolidated interim financial information herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments and except for the Reverse Recapitalization as described in Note 3), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of Legacy Payoneer and its subsidiaries.
b. Accounting principles:
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (hereafter - U.S. GAAP).
c. Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, share-based compensation, revenue recognition, valuation allowance on deferred taxes, contingencies, transaction loss provision and allowance for doubtful accounts on capital advances.

The Company has developed a risk-based methodology that is used to estimate potential CA portfolio losses based on historical loss data. In order to assess the risk, the Company develops loss estimates based on current and historical attributes of receivable balances, such as account payment status and percentage of receivables collections per day, length of time from advance to collection, average of losses over time, average balance outstanding by customer, and specific identifiers that might influence possible future losses.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company applied a range of loss rates to the CA portfolio of 2.79% to 2.84% for the allowance for CA losses. As of September 30, 2020, the Company applied a range of loss rates to the CA portfolio of 0.75% to 3.1%.

Customer acquisition costs
The Company recognizes an asset for incremental costs to obtain a contract such as sales commissions and other customer incentives. The asset is amortized on a systematic basis over the expected customer relationship period, which is estimated to be 1.75 years and is consistent with the pattern of recognition of the associated revenue.

e. Revenue (continued):
The Company periodically reviews these deferred customer acquisition costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could impact the period of benefit. There were no impairment losses recorded during the periods presented. The following table represents a rollforward of deferred customer acquisition costs:

Ending balance as of September 30, 2021 | $ | 10,464 |
f. Leases:
The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease for accounting purposes at contract inception. Operating leases are recorded as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, which are included in right-of-use assets, and lease liabilities, which are included in other payable and other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any finance leases.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Our leases do not provide an implicit rate; we use an incremental borrowing rate for specific terms on a collateralized basis based on the information available on either the ASC 842 transition date or commencement date as applicable in determining the present value of lease payments.
The ROU asset calculation includes lease payments to be made and excludes lease incentives. The ROU asset and lease liability may include amounts attributed to options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In certain instances the Company may have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. In these instances the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases. In addition, the Company has elected the practical expedients related to lease classification and hindsight. The Company applies a single portfolio approach within certain lease classes to account for the ROU assets and lease liabilities.
g. Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own shares of Common Stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

g. Warrant Liability (continued)
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a derivative liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as gain or loss on the statements of operations. In accordance with ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, offering costs attributable to the issuance of the derivative warrant liabilities are recognized in the statement of operations as incurred.
h. Deferred transaction costs
The Company capitalizes certain legal, professional accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity financing activities, including the Reverse Recapitalization and the PIPE offering described within Note 3, as deferred costs until such financings are consummated. Upon consummation of the equity financing activity, these fees are recording in the stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a reduction of additional paid-in capital generated as a result of the activity.
i. Share-based compensation
1. | Equity awards granted to employees are accounted for using the grant date fair value method. The grant date fair value is determined as follows: for stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with an exercise price using the Black Scholes pricing model, for stock options with market conditions using a Monte Carlo model and for RSUs with service conditions based on the grant date share price. The fair value of share-based payment transactions is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are accounted as they occur. |
2. | The Company measures the compensation cost related to the options awarded on the grant date and recognizes the cost on a straight-line method over the requisite service period of the awards, including awards with graded vesting and those awards having additional market-based conditions for vesting. For awards with only market conditions, compensation expense is not reversed if the market conditions are not satisfied. |
3. | The Company measures the additional compensation cost of modified awards on the date of modification and recognizes the cost (1) on the modification date for past service periods and (2) on a straight-line method over the future related service period. |
4. | The Company early adopted ASU 2018-07 for share-based payments with service providers. Fair value of the equity instrument issued to a non-employee should be measured as of the grant date. The fair value of the awards is recognized over the vesting period, which coincides with the period that the counter-party is providing services to the Company. |
5. | The Company recognizes a benefit of share-based compensation in the consolidated statements of loss if an excess tax benefit is realized. If the Company is in a taxable loss position and the excess tax benefit added to a net operating loss carryforward, the excess tax benefit would not be recorded until that net operating loss is utilized. |

j. Recently issued accounting pronouncements:
As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time the Company no longer meets the definition of EGC. The adoption dates referenced below reflect this election. The Company may become a large accelerated filer on the last day of its fiscal year 2022 and, should it happen, the company will no longer qualify as an EGC. The anticipated adoption dates of standards issued, but not yet adopted will be revised to reflect this change in status.
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) standards adopted during 2021
In 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to accounting for leases, which will require lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms greater than 12 months. As we are not a lessor, other changes in the guidance applicable to lessors do not apply. Additionally, in 2018, the FASB issued codification and targeted improvements to this guidance effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company has early adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2021, using a modified retrospective basis and applied the optional practical expedients related to the transition. The adoption resulted in an increase of approximately $19,280 for the right of use lease assets and $19,566 for lease liabilities associated with our operating leases upon adoption of which $8,636 was classified as short-term within Other payables and $10,930 was classified as long-term within Other long-term liabilities. In addition, the Company elected to apply the practical expedients related to reassessment of existing leases, utilization of hindsight in the determination of lease term and impairment of right-of-use assets, and did not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities arising from short-term leases.
In 2017, the FASB issued new guidance intended to better align the results of hedge accounting with an entity’s risk management activities. This guidance updates the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships by expanding hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and by refining the measurement of hedge results to better reflect an entity’s hedging strategies. The amendments will also align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedge results in the financial statements to increase the understandability of the results of an entity’s intended hedging strategies. Additionally, the guidance includes certain targeted improvements to ease the operational burden of applying hedge accounting. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2021 and determined that the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In 2018, the FASB issued new accounting guidance intended to align the requirements for capitalization of implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the existing guidance for internal-use software. Capitalized implementation costs should be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement and recorded in the same financial statement line items as amounts for the hosting arrangement. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The guidance provides flexibility in adoption, allowing for either retrospective adjustment or prospective adjustment for all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2021 under the prospective adjustment for implementation costs and determined that the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
FASB Standards issued, but not adopted as of September 30, 2021
In 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. Credit losses on loans, trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities and other instruments will reflect the Company’s current estimate of the expected credit losses (“CECL”). CECL requires loss estimates for the remaining estimated life of the financial instrument using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Generally, the Company expects that CECL will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses compared to the current approach of estimating probable incurred losses. The guidance is effective for the Company at the beginning of 2023; however, the Company will early adopt the new guidance effective January 1, 2022. The Company is required to apply the provisions of this guidance as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted.

j. Recently issued accounting pronouncements (continued):
The Company is in the process of refining models and designing business processes and controls. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
In 2020, the FASB issued amended guidance that provides transition relief for the accounting impact of reference rate reform. For a limited duration, this guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to certain contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that will be impacted by a reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The amended guidance is effective through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect reference rate reform to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In 2020, the FASB issued guidance simplifying the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. In addition to other changes, this standard amends ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” by removing the accounting models for instruments with beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features. The standard also amends ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” addressing the impacts of these instruments. The guidance is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 3 – REVERSE RECAPITALIZATION AND BUSINESS COMBINATION
Reverse Recapitalization
On the Closing Date, Legacy Payoneer and FTOC consummated the Reorganization in accordance with the Reorganization Agreement, with Legacy Payoneer and FTOC surviving the merger as wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Payoneer. Immediately prior to the closing of the Reverse Recapitalization, all shares of outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock of Legacy Payoneer were converted into shares of Common Stock of New Payoneer. Upon the consummation of the Reverse Recapitalization, among other things, (i) 85% of each issued and outstanding Legacy Payoneer common stock was converted into the right to receive shares of Common Stock of New Payoneer at a ratio of 1:
(the “Exchange Ratio”), and (ii) 15% of share issued and outstanding Legacy Payoneer Common Stock was converted into the right to receive cash consideration at $18.82555 per share (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). The total cash consideration paid to holders of Legacy Payoneer shares of common stock upon consummation of the Reverse Recapitalization was $398,201.Upon the closing of the Reverse Recapitalization, New Payoneer’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the total number of authorized shares of all classes of capital stock to 4,180,000,000 shares, of which 3,800,000,000 shares were designated Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, and of which 380,000,000 shares were designated preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share.
In connection with the execution of the Reorganization Agreement, New Payoneer entered into separate subscription agreements (each, a “Subscription Agreement”) with a number of investors (each a “Subscriber”), pursuant to which the Subscribers agreed to purchase, and the Company agreed to sell to the Subscribers, an aggregate of 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $300,000, in a private placement pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (the “PIPE”). The PIPE investment closed simultaneously with the consummation of the Reverse Recapitalization.
In addition, according to the Reorganization Agreement, New Payoneer will issue to Legacy Payoneer stockholders up to an additional 30,000,000 shares (the “Earn-Out Shares”), (a) 50% of which will be issued if at any time during the first 30 months following the Closing Date, the closing trading price of the shares of New Payoneer common stock will be greater than or equal to $15.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading days period and (b) the remaining 50% of which will be issued if at any time during the first 60 months following the Closing Date, the closing trading price of the New Payoneer shares of common stock will be greater than or equal to $17.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading days period. The Company accounts for the right to receive Earn-Out Shares as an equity instrument as it meets the definition of an equity instrument and as it considers a free-standing instrument that is indexed to the Company’s own equity in accordance with ASC 815.

Additionally, prior to the Reverse Recapitalization, the Company approved and adopted a management bonus plan (the “Transaction Bonus Pool”), to be effective as of and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Reverse Recapitalization which provided for a pool consisting of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, with such shares to be allocated by the Company to executives and management of the Company.
Prior to the closing of the Reverse Recapitalization, Legacy Payoneer converted 209,529,798 shares of Legacy Payoneer’s redeemable convertible preferred stock pursuant to the applicable preferred stock agreements. Note that the number of shares is after the 1:
conversion, which took place after the Reverse Recapitalization transaction.On the Closing Date, the existing warrant agreement governing the warrants that were exercisable for shares of FTOC’s Class A ordinary shares was amended to reflect that the warrants will be exercisable for shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As of the Closing Date, the total value of the liability associated with the warrants was $71,701 measured at fair value based on the quoted price and therefore is considered to be a level 1 measurement. The Company evaluated that the warrants met the definition of a liability and have been classified as such on the balance sheet in accordance with the accounting policy described within Note 2g.
The Company incurred $64,271 in costs directly related to the Reverse Recapitalization and the PIPE offering such as third-party legal, accounting services and other professional services. Upon consummation of the Reverse Recapitalization, these costs, which had been capitalized on the Company’s balance sheet were recorded as a reduction to additional paid in capital with the exception of $5,087, which were expensed as they represent the allocation of the transaction costs associated with the warrants. Transaction costs were allocated to the warrants based on the fair value of the warrants out of the toal consideration. There were also deferred underwriting costs related to FTOC totalling $28,934 that were paid as part of the closing of the Reverse Recapitalization.

NOTE 3 – REVERSE RECAPITALIZATION AND BUSINESS COMBINATION (continued)
Business Combination
Associated with the Optile acquisition consummated in 2020, there was a contingent consideration arrangement that was initially valued at $4,044, which was estimated by using the Black-Scholes model for each earn out period under the acquisition agreement. Key inputs and assumptions used in this were revenue milestones, expected term, volatility, the risk-free rate, and dividend yield. These inputs are Level 3 assumptions that are updated each reporting period as the earn-out is recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company revalued the contingent consideration arrangement as of the period end and determined the fair value to be $2,580. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement at the beginning of the period was $4,044 and the resulting benefit of $1,464 was an offset in general and administrative expenses. During the 3 months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued to sellers 218,798 shares that were deferred for 18 months after the close of the transaction in line with the Optile Share Purchase Agreement. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the issuance. As of September 30, 2021, there are 60,408 shares remaining to be issued to sellers as part of the total deferred consideration.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company’s business is subject to various laws and regulations in the United States and other countries from where the Company operates. Any regulatory action, tax or legal challenge against the Company for noncompliance with any regulatory or legal requirement could result in significant fines, penalties, or other enforcement actions, increased costs of doing business through adverse judgment or settlement, reputational harm, the diversion of significant amounts of management time and operational resources, and could require changes in compliance requirements or limits on the Company’s ability to expand its product offerings, or otherwise harm or have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.
In February 2016, the Company submitted a disclosure to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) about certain payments to the Crimea region of Ukraine and other OFAC target countries, which has since been under OFAC’s review. OFAC and the Company have reached a final settlement offer for $1,400, which was paid prior to September 30, 2021.
On June 25, 2020, the German holding company of one of the Company’s card issuers in the United Kingdom (“UK Issuer”) and processing bank in Germany (“German Bank”) filed for insolvency protection after accusations of a significant fraud event. The Company had a relationship with the German Bank for several services, as well as with the UK Issuer an e-money institution regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom which served as issuer of most of the prepaid Mastercard cards utilized by Company’s customers.
On July 3, 2020, the Company signed a security agreement with Mastercard, transferred and designated $50,000 as collateral to be utilized by Mastercard if the UK Issuer is in default on its payment obligations to settle with Mastercard. On July 15, 2020, by agreement with Mastercard, the Company reduced the collateral to $35,000. The likelihood of a Company payment associated with the collateral is assessed as remote. However, the maximum amount of exposure is $35,000. On August 20, 2020, the Company amended the security agreement with Mastercard and signed a portfolio transfer agreement with the UK Issuer. The amendment reduced the collateral to $24,000 and the portfolio transfer agreement set the terms for the termination of the card sponsorship agreement with the UK Issuer when the card portfolio is transferred to the Company’s licensed subsidiary in Ireland. On September 2, 2020, the card portfolio was migrated and the $24,000 was allocated as collateral for the migrated activity with the Company’s subsidiary. The $24,000 collateral was returned to the Company on June 25, 2021.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
On September 9, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with the UK Issuer, along with all other program managers of the UK Issuer, to participate in a solvent winddown of the UK Issuer in order to collect all remaining amounts owed from the UK Issuer. The Company no longer has a relationship with the UK Issuer and all applicable funds have been received by the Company.
The Company received communications noting the termination of its remaining business with the German Bank and following discussions between Payoneer Europe Limited and the German Bank it was agreed that certain account activities would be terminated in December 2020 and January 2021. Pursuant to a termination agreement entered into by Payoneer Europe Limited and the German Bank it was agreed that the remainder of the virtual collection accounts under Payoneer Europe Limited’s accounts with the German Bank would cease to be active at the end of May 2021. The termination agreement included a waiver of alleged breaches of contractual obligations that had been raised by the German Bank in a communication that preceded the agreement.
On September 28, 2021, the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) and the Bank of Mexico revoked the banking license of a banking entity utilized by the Company due to the banking entity not meeting applicable capital requirements. As a result, the Company is unable to withdraw funds from the bank. The Company has reserved $2,250 for potential losses related to the inaccessible funds. The Company is in the process of applying for the maximum statutory reimbursement through the deposit insurance provided by Mexican Institute for the Protection of Banking Services (IPAB). The Company will also file a claim in liquidation for the remaining funds once the liquidation process is opened; however, the percentage of the deposit that will be recovered in liquidation is not known at this time.
From time to time, the Company is involved in other disputes or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business. These may include suits by our customers (individually or as class actions) alleging, among other things, acting unfairly and/or not in conformity regarding pricing, rules or agreements, improper disclosure of our prices, rules, or policies or that our practices, prices, rules, policies, or customer agreements violate applicable law.
In addition to these types of disputes and regulatory inquiries, the operations of the Company are also subject to regulatory and/or legal review and/or challenges that tend to reflect the increasing global regulatory focus to which the industry in which the Company operates is subject and, when taken as a whole with other regulatory and legislative action, such actions could result in the imposition of costly new compliance burdens on the Company and may lead to increased costs and decreased transaction volume and revenue.
Any claims or regulatory actions against the Company, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, settlement payments, damage awards (including statutory damages for certain causes of action in certain jurisdictions), fines, penalties, injunctive relief, or increased costs of doing business through adverse judgment or settlement, require the Company to change our business practices, require significant amounts of management time, result in the diversion of operational resources, or otherwise harm the business.
NOTE 12 – PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS
The Company is authorized to issue Common Stock and Preferred Stock. Prior to the Reverse Recapitalization, the Company was authorized to issue the following classes of stock: Common Stock, Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and Redeemable Preferred Stock. The deemed liquidation preference provisions of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and the Redeemable Preferred Stock were considered contingent redemption provisions that were not solely within the Company’s control. As such, prior to the Reverse Recapitalization, the associated balances were presented outside of permanent equity in the mezzanine section of the consolidated balance sheets.
As part of the Reverse Recapitalization transaction, as described within Note 3, the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock was converted 1-for-1 into Common Stock of the Company.
The Company decided that the Redeemable Preferred Stock was redeemable as of June 30, 2021. Based on this election, the Redeemable Preferred Stock was classified as a short-term liability and valued at $39,804, including interest. Legacy Payoneer redeemed the shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock on July 23, 2021 and paid shareholders of the Redeemable Preferred Stock $39,804.
The Company had no outstanding Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock or Redeemable Preferred Stock as of September 30, 2021.

Warrants
As described within Note 3, the Company has warrants that are exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock. Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares at an exercise price of $11.50. These warrants expire on June 25, 2026. At September 30, 2021, there were 25,158,086 warrants outstanding with a corresponding liability valued at $48,304. The warrants are considered to be a Level 1 fair value measurement due to the observability of the inputs. Note that 723,333 Placement Warrants were forfeited at the close of the Reverse Recapitalization transaction.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Common Stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any Common Stock upon exercise of a warrant unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption is available.

NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES
The Company had an effective tax rate of 59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to effective tax rate of 118% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate was primarily the result of foreign income taxed at different rates.
NOTE 16 – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company computes net loss per share using the two-class method required for participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to ordinary shareholders for the period to be allocated between shares of Common Stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The Company considers any issued and outstanding convertible preferred shares to be participating securities as the holders of the convertible preferred shares, as the case may be, would be entitled to dividends that would be distributed to the holders of ordinary shares, on a pro-rata basis assuming conversion of all convertible preferred shares into ordinary shares. These participating securities do not contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s losses. As such, net loss for the periods presented was not allocated to the Company’s participating securities.
The Company’s basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of ordinary shares outstanding for the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. The diluted net loss per share is calculated by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period using the treasury share method or the if-converted method based on the nature of such securities. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share in periods when the effects of potentially dilutive shares of ordinary shares are anti-dilutive. The Earn-Out Shares which were subject to the occurrence of certain conditions, were excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation for the three and nine-months periods ended September 30, 2021, because the Earn-Out Shares conditions were not met at the end of the reporting period.

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include stock options, unvested RSUs, earn-out shares, preferred stock, warrants and deferred consideration have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as their effect was anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same.
Warrants, earn-out shares and deferred consideration have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months period ended September 30, 2021 as their effect was anti-dilutive.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Throughout this section, unless otherwise noted, “we”, “us”, “our”, “Payoneer”, and the “Company” refer to Payoneer Inc. for the periods prior to the Closing Date (as defined below) and to Payoneer Global Inc. for the period thereafter.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the sections titled “Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of forward-looking statements and important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
Overview
As the world’s go-to partner for digital commerce, Payoneer democratizes access to financial services and drives growth for millions of businesses of all sizes around the world. With a single connection to Payoneer’s global payment and commerce-enabling platform, our customers can transact globally as easily as they do locally, empowering participation in the digital economy and driving growth for enterprises, marketplaces and SMBs worldwide.
Payoneer was founded in 2005 with the idea that technology and the internet were transforming commerce and making it possible for anyone, anywhere to build and grow a digital business. From the beginning, we recognized the importance of offering services to both sides of two-sided commerce networks: small businesses who would need help navigating the increasingly complex digital economy, and marketplaces who would need help supporting their increasingly distributed seller-base. Over the past 16 years, we have built a one-of-kind platform designed to serve the needs of digital businesses globally.
At the foundation of the Payoneer platform is a robust secured, regulated global payment infrastructure that simplifies the process for any business to pay and get paid globally as easily as it does locally. On top of this foundation, we continue to develop a comprehensive suite of products and services, providing sophisticated tools to help our customers grow.
Owing to the strength of our payment infrastructure and the breadth of our product offerings, Payoneer operates as both a provider of services to enterprises and marketplaces as well as an industry leading B2B payment provider, empowering all of our customers to transact internationally with ease. As a result, we have cultivated a meaningful brand in the global digital commerce ecosystem supporting millions of marketplaces, enterprises, and SMBs across more than 190 countries and 7,000+ unique trade corridors.
To monetize our offerings, we primarily generate revenues based on the volume of transactions processed through the Payoneer platform. Volume refers to the total dollar value of transactions successfully completed on or enabled by our platform, not including payment orchestration transactions. For a customer that both receives and later sends payments, we count the volume only once. Volume serves as a key metric for overall business activity, as growing volume, in particular cross-border volume, is the primary driver for our revenue growth. See “Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.
Our customers have trusted the Payoneer platform to process $40.5 billion and $30.5 billion in volume during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $13.6 billion and $11.7 billion in volume during three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Looking forward, we intend to continue to invest actively to grow our global platform, expand product development, extend our regulatory footprint, further automate our operations, increase new customer growth and make more acquisitions to accelerate our ability to deliver more value to customers around the world.
Key Development and Trends
Reorganization
On June 25, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), we completed our previously announced reorganization (the “Reorganization”) with FTAC Olympus Acquisition Corp. (“FTOC”). In connection with the closing of the Reorganization, Payoneer Global Inc. became a publicly traded company and Payoneer Inc., now a subsidiary of Payoneer Global Inc., continued its existing business operations.
35
PAYONEER GLOBAL INC.
The Reorganization was accounted for on a reverse recapitalization basis for which Legacy Payoneer has been determined to be the accounting acquirer (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Since the Reorganization was accounted for as a Reverse Recapitalization, no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, FTOC was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Payoneer Global Inc. issuing stock for the net assets of FTOC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of FTOC were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Reverse Recapitalization will be those of Payoneer. See “Introductory Note” and Note 2 to our unaudited interim financial statement for additional information.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Shelter-in-place orders, social distancing measures and travel restrictions following the extraordinary spread of COVID-19 fundamentally shifted commerce and the way buyers and sellers transact, accelerating digitalization and e-commerce trends.
Starting in January 2020, COVID impacted Payoneer teams, customers, and supply chains in Greater China. Starting in March 2020, due to broader travel restrictions, global travel and tourism slowed, negatively impacting our travel customer base. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates to zero in mid-March, negatively impacting our interest income revenues, associated with underlying customer accounts. Despite the global travel slowdown and interest rate cuts, and wavering consumer confidence, the pandemic driven shift in buying patterns from brick and mortar to e-commerce, led to an acceleration of digital commerce that created tailwinds which further strengthened our role in the global economy.
We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the potential impact of COVID-19 on our business, consolidated results of operations and liquidity.

PAYONEER GLOBAL INC.
Revenues
Revenues were $122.7 million and $334.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $32.1 million and $83.3 million, or 35% and 33%, respectively, compared to the same period of prior year driven by volume increases as we experienced continued growth in digital commerce stemming from the shift in consumer buying behavior towards e-commerce as well as increases in our value-added products and services that are not influenced directly by volume increases.
Transaction costs
Transaction costs were $24.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $0.2 million, or 0.6%, compared to the same period of prior year, due to an increase of $2.3 million in payment network incentives earned by achieving certain volume-related milestones. Excluding these drivers, transaction costs increased by $2.4 million or 11% while volume increased by 16% during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in prior year. Transaction costs grew at a lower rate than volume due to improved commercial terms, internal platform optimizations, and cost structure benefits from increased transaction volumes.
Transaction costs were $73.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $0.3 million, or 0.3%, compared to the same period of prior year, due to an increase in capital advance related costs of $4.5 million driven by specific advances with higher collection risk, partially offset by an increase in payment network incentives of $7.5 million. Excluding these drivers, transaction costs increased by $3.3 million or 4% while volume increased by 33% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in prior year. Transaction costs grew at a lower rate than volume due to improved commercial terms, internal platform optimizations, lower chargebacks and losses, and cost structure benefits from increased transaction volumes.
Other operating expenses
Other operating expenses were $34.4 million and $93.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $16.2 million and $35.3 million, or 89% and 61%, respectively, compared to the same period of the prior year. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a recovery of a reserve amounting to $3.6 million relating to one of the Company’s issuing banks, who entered into a liquidation process, and for which the Company had provisioned for doubtful debts during 2018. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a reserve amounting to $2.3 million relating to a separate bank, who entered into a liquidation process. In addition, we experienced increases in employee compensation, benefits and other employee-related expenses mainly as a result of an increase in employee headcount, and an increase in third-party contractor expenses and information technology expenses to support our growing volume and business requirements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of the prior year.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses were $20.1 million and $55.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $6.9 million and $20.4 million, or 52% and 58%, respectively, compared to the same period of the prior year. The increases were driven by an increase in employee compensation, benefits and other employee-related expenses mainly as a result of an increase in employee headcount. In addition, we experienced an increase in third-party contractor expenses and information technology expenses to support our growing volume and business requirements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of the prior year.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses were $29.6 million and $80.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $10.7 million and $26.6 million, or 57% and 49%, respectively, compared to the same period of prior year. The increases were driven by an increase in employee compensation, benefits and other employee-related expenses mainly as a result of an increase in the employee headcount, an increase in third-party commissions which corresponds to our revenue growth, and higher spending on marketing programs.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses were $16.0 million and $44.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $5.5 million and $18.0 million, or 52% and 68%, respectively, compared to the same period in prior year. The increases were driven by an increase in compensation, benefits and other employee-related expenses mainly as a result of an increase in the
37
PAYONEER GLOBAL INC.
employee headcount. In addition, the Company incurred transaction costs of $5.1 million related to the Reorganization for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Depreciation and amortization expenses
Depreciation and amortization were $4.4 million and $13.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $0.2 million and $0.9 million, or 4% and 7%, respectively, compared to the same period in prior year primarily driven by increase in amortization of internal use software costs. This increase was offset by a decrease in impairment of internal use software during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in prior year.
Financial income and expense, net
Financial income, net was $8.0 million and $16.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $5.4 million and $14.4 million, or 208% and 658%, respectively, compared to the same period in prior year primarily driven by change in fair value of warrants of $11.3 million and $23.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 in addition to revaluation of foreign currency balances.
Income tax
Income tax expense was $0.7 million and $5.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $1.3 million and $1.1 million, or 66% and 17%, compared to the same period in prior year primarily driven by the result of taxes associated with our foreign subsidiaries.
Net loss
For a discussion regarding the Company’s net loss position please refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following discussion of our liquidity and capital resources is based on the financial information derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Sources of Liquidity
As a result of the Reorganization, we raised gross proceeds of $874.5 million including the contribution of $574.5 million of cash held in FTOC’s trust account from its initial public offering, post redemption of FTOC’s Common Stock held by FTOC’s public stockholders prior to the Reorganization, and $300.0 million of private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) at $10.00 per share of Payoneer Global Inc.’s Common Stock.
In connection with the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement, the Company entered into the first revised Loan and Security Agreement on November 9, 2020, whereby the Company can request advances under a revolving line of credit. The Company incurred an additional $15 million under a term loan, payable in 10 equal monthly installments beginning in April 2021. In addition, pursuant to the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement, the Company entered into a Second Loan Modification Agreement on March 31, 2021, whereby the Company can request advances under a revolving line of credit in an aggregate principal amount equal to $70 million. This amendment modified the line of credit from $85 million and the interest on the principal amount to 3.20%, subject to certain equity milestone conditions. If these conditions are not met, the interest remains at 3.70%. The revised terms of the agreement became effective April 1, 2021. On June 30, 2021, the Company paid the remainder of the term loan and had no outstanding balance since the repayment through September 30, 2021. The Company terminated the Loan and Security Agreement on September 14, 2021.
The aforementioned agreement included reporting, financial covenants and certain restrictive covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limited the Company’s ability to sell assets, incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments and other distributions, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, change the nature of our business and place liens on our or our subsidiaries’ assets. As of December 31, 2020, and through the termination of the agreement, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
On October 28, 2021, the Company, entered into multi-party Receivables Loan and Security Agreement (the “Warehouse Receivables Loan”) for the purpose of external financing of capital advance activity. The lenders are related parties through the Company’s board of director’s chairman’s ownership interest. The Warehouse Receivables Loan was entered into at an arm’s length capacity.
38
PAYONEER GLOBAL INC.
The Warehouse Receivables Loan bears interest of LIBOR plus 9% annual and has a revolving maturity of 36 months from the commencement date with a payback period of an additional 6 months after the revolving maturity date. The initial borrowing commitment is $25,000 subject to increases at the Company’s request and lender’s discretion up to $100,000. Additional commitments will carry interest rates ranging from 7.75% to 7%. The Warehouse facility is secured by eligible capital advance receivables at an initial rate of 80% of the total value of the underlying capital advance receivable outstanding. The Company is subject to financial covenants including minimum tangible equity, solvency and unrestricted cash requirements that are assessed based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
As of September 30, 2021, we had $449 million of cash and cash equivalents and did not have any outstanding borrowings.
In addition, on July 22, 2020, Payoneer Inc. issued 3,500 shares of our Series 1 Senior Preferred Stock, a warrant to purchase up to 1,477,094 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.21 per share, and a warrant to purchase up to 2,954,188 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share for gross proceeds before issuance costs of $35 million. All warrants were exercised for shares of Payoneer Inc. common stock prior to the Reorganization. On July 23, 2021, we completed a full redemption of all outstanding shares of our Series 1 Senior Preferred Stock for approximately $39.8 million.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our operating working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. Our future financing requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development of our platform and the expansion of sales and marketing activities. Although we currently are not a party to any legally binding agreement and do not have any commitment with any third-parties with respect to potential investments in, or acquisitions of, businesses or technologies, we may enter into these types of arrangements in the future, which could also require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. In addition, growth in our Working Capital offering portfolio increases our liquidity needs, and any failure to meet those liquidity needs could adversely affect our business. We continue to evaluate partnerships and third-party sources of funding for our Working Capital offering portfolio. Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all.

Change in cash | $ | 691,780 | $ | 934,048 |
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities consists of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in other assets and liabilities.
The Company’s net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $15.1 million after considering non-cash charges primarily consisting of $23.8 million in share-based compensation and $13.5 in depreciation and amortization expenses and $23.4 million in warranty liability revaluation as well as other non-cash items.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $8.1 million, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $18.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This was driven primarily by fluctuations in current asset and liability balances particularly within other current assets, accounts receivable and other payables due to the timing of payments as well as other immaterial uses of cash.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $41.3 million, or 90%, compared to net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This was predominantly related
39
PAYONEER GLOBAL INC.
to $15.5 million used for the acquisition of Optile, net of cash acquired, in 2020, with no comparable activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $686.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $273.7 million, or 28%, compared to $960.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This predominantly relates a larger increase in outstanding operating balances during the previous period as well as funds associated with the Reverse Recapitalization and PIPE transaction, which totaled $394.0 million. The increase was partially offset by redemption of redeemable preferred stock in the amount of $39.8 million.
Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to evaluate our business, analyze our performance, and make strategic decisions. We believe these metrics and non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as management. However, these measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as substitutes for financial measures that have been calculated in accordance with GAAP. We primarily review the following key performance indicators and non-GAAP measures when assessing our performance:
Volume
Volume refers to the value of payments successfully completed or enabled by our platform, not including orchestration transactions. Volume serves as a key metric for overall business activity, as growing volume is a key driver for our revenue growth.
Three months ended September 30, | Nine months ended September 30, | |||||||||||
| 2021 |
| 2020 |

| 2020 | |||||
(in millions) | ||||||||||||
Volume | $ | 13,615 | $ | 11,716 | $ | 40,535 | $ | 30,531 |
Volume grew 16% and 33% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 driven by a combination of customer acquisition, new marketplace partnerships, and overall growth in digital commerce.
Revenue
The Company generates revenues mainly from transaction fees, which are generally driven by transaction volumes. Transaction fee revenue principally consists of fees for withdrawals and usage. In addition, the Company generates revenue from non-volume-based products and services which are based on a fixed fee. We believe that Revenue demonstrates our ability to monetize on volumes. Our revenues can be impacted by the following:
(i) | Mix in customer size, products, and services; |
(ii) | Mix between domestic and cross-border transactions; |
(iii) | Geographic region or country in which a transaction occurs; and |
(iv) | Pricing and other market conditions. |
Management closely monitors volume and revenue to ensure that we continue to grow funds and business activity that enters the platform, expanding overall scale and reach of business.
Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe Adjusted EBITDA, as a non-GAAP measure, is useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that
40
PAYONEER GLOBAL INC.
may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to our investors as it is a metric used by management in assessing our operating performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measure as a tool for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for our non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measure and the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

(1) Represents non-cash charges associated with stock-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.
(2) Represents the non-recurring reorganizational costs that were not recorded as a reduction of additional paid in capital. The amounts relate to legal and professional services associated with the Reorganization.
(3) Represents non-recurring fair value adjustment of a liability related to our 2020 acquisition of Optile.
(4) Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as gain or loss on the statements of operations. The impact is removed from EBITDA as it represents market conditions that are not in control of the Company.
(5) Consists primarily of a non-recurring allowance outside of normal course of business due to liquidation of one of our providers.
Off Balance Sheet Obligations
As of the balance sheet date of September 30, 2021, the Company has not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by Regulation S-K, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position, result of operations or cash flows is disclosed in Note 2 to our unaudited interim financial statement included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

PAYONEER GLOBAL INC.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have operations both within the United States and globally, and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including the effects of interest rate changes and foreign currency fluctuations. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is described below.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021, were held primarily in cash deposits and money market funds. The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents would not be significantly affected by either an increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of a majority of these instruments Additionally, we have the ability to hold these instruments until maturity, if necessary, to reduce our risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
Most of our revenue is earned in U.S. dollars, and therefore our revenue is not currently subject to significant foreign currency risk. Our foreign currency exposure includes currencies of the countries in which our operations are located as well as currencies in which the platform services ours customers and may be subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the Euro, British Pound, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Vietnamese Dong, Swiss Franc, New Zealand Dollar, Chinese Yuan, Norwegian Krone, Singapore Dollar, New Israeli Shekel, Philippine Peso and Hong Kong Dollar. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may cause us to recognize gains and losses in our statement of operations. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in current exchange rates could have a material impact on our financial results.
JOBS Act
We are an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. The Company may become a large accelerated filer on the last day of its fiscal year 2022 and would no longer qualify as an EGC.
Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company”, we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of FTOC’s initial public offering or until Payoneer Global Inc. is no longer an “emerging growth company”, whichever is earlier.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
