Overview

We provide integrated payment processing solutions to industry-oriented markets in which clients have specific transaction processing needs. We refer to these markets as “vertical markets” or “verticals.” Our proprietary, integrated payment technology platform reduces the complexity of the electronic payments process for businesses, while enhancing their consumers’ overall experience. We are a payments innovator, differentiated by our proprietary, integrated payment technology platform and our ability to reduce the complexity of the electronic payments for businesses. We intend to continue to strategically target verticals where we believe our ability to tailor payment solutions to our client needs, our deep knowledge of our vertical markets and the embedded nature of our integrated payment solutions will drive strong growth by attracting new clients and fostering long-term client relationships.

We report our financial results based on two reportable segments.

Consumer Payments – Our Consumer Payments segment provides payment processing solutions (including debit and credit card processing, ACH processing and other electronic payment acceptance solutions, as well as our loan disbursement product) that enable our clients to collect payments from and disburse funds to consumers and includes our RCS offering. RCS is our proprietary clearing and settlement platform through which we market customizable payment processing programs to other ISOs and payment facilitators. The strategic vertical markets served by our Consumer Payments segment primarily include personal loans, automotive loans, receivables management, credit unions, mortgage servicing, consumer healthcare and diversified retail.

Business Payments – Our Business Payments segment provides payment processing solutions (including accounts payable automation, debit and credit card processing, virtual credit card processing, ACH processing and other electronic payment acceptance solutions) that enable our clients to collect payments from or send payments to other businesses. The strategic vertical markets served within our Business Payments segment primarily include retail automotive, education, field services, governments and municipalities, healthcare, media, HOA management and hospitality.

Macroeconomic Conditions

We have been monitoring the current economic environment in the U.S. and globally – characterized by heightened inflation (including changes in wages), evolving U.S. trade policies, supply chain issues and slower growth. Such macroeconomic conditions may continue to evolve in ways that are difficult to fully anticipate and may also include increased levels of unemployment and/or a recession. Some or all of these market factors have and could continue to adversely affect our payment volumes from the consumer loan market, the receivables management industry and consumer and commercial spending. The effect of these events on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. Finally, the impact of all of these various events on our results in the first six months of 2025 may not be necessarily indicative of their impact on our results for the remainder of 2025.

Business Combination

The Company was formed upon closing of the merger of Hawk Parent with a subsidiary of Thunder Bridge, a special purpose acquisition company, on July 11, 2019. On the closing of the Business Combination, Thunder Bridge changed its name to “Repay Holdings Corporation.”

Key Factors Affecting Our Business

Key factors that we believe impact our business, results of operations and financial condition include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • the dollar amount volume and the number of transactions that are processed by the clients that we currently serve;
  • our ability to attract new clients and onboard them as active processing clients;
  • our ability to (i) successfully integrate recent acquisitions and (ii) complete future acquisitions;
  • our ability to offer new and competitive payment technology solutions to our clients; and
  • general economic conditions and consumer finance trends.

Key Components of Our Revenues and Expenses

Revenues

Revenue. As our clients process increased volumes of payments, our revenues increase as a result of the fees we charge for processing these payments. Most of our revenues are derived from volume-based payment processing fees (“discount fees”) and other related fixed per transaction fees. Discount fees represent a percentage of the dollar amount of each credit or debit transaction processed and include fees relating to processing and services that we provide. The transaction price for such processing services is determined, based on the judgment of management, considering factors such as margin objectives, pricing practices and controls, client segment pricing strategies, the product life cycle and the observable price of the service charged to similarly situated clients. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, our chargeback rate was less than 1% of our card payment volume.

Expenses

Costs of services. Costs of services primarily include commissions to our software integration partners and other third-party processing costs, such as front and back-end processing costs and sponsor bank fees.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries, share-based compensation and other employment costs, professional service fees, rent and utilities, and other operating costs.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense consists of depreciation on our investments in property, equipment and computer hardware. Depreciation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Amortization expense for software development costs and purchased software is recognized on the straight-line method over a three-year estimated useful life, between eight to ten years estimated useful life for client relationships and channel relationships, and between two to five years estimated useful life for non-compete agreements.

Interest income. Interest income consists of interest received on our cash and cash equivalents.

Interest expense. Interest expense consists of interest paid in respect of our indebtedness under the convertible senior notes and amortization of deferred debt issuance costs.

Change in fair value of tax receivable liability. This amount represents the change in fair value of the tax receivable agreement liability. The TRA liability is carried at fair value; so, any change to the valuation of this liability is recognized through this line in other expense. The change in fair value can result from the redemption or exchange of Post-Merger Repay Units for Class A common stock of Repay Holdings Corporation, through accretion of the discounted fair value of the expected future cash payments, or changes to the discount rate, or Early Termination Rate, used to determine the fair value of the liability.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2024

Revenue

Total revenue was $75.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and $74.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $0.7 million or 0.9%. This increase was the result of newly signed clients and the growth of our existing clients, partially offset from impacts of previously announced client losses and political media spending in the second quarter of 2024 associated with the 2024 election cycle in our media payments business.

Cost of Services

Costs of services were $18.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and $16.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $2.1 million or 12.9%. This increase was the result of newly signed clients and the growth of our existing clients, partially offset from impacts of previously announced client losses and political media spending in the second quarter of 2024 associated with the 2024 election cycle in our media payments business.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $32.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and $35.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $2.4 million or 6.8%, primarily due to a $3.6 million decrease in equity compensation expenses and a $0.5 million decrease in software and technology expenses, partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in transaction expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $25.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and $26.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $1.3 million or 4.9%, primarily driven by a reduction in amortization in software.

Impairment Loss

We incurred a non-cash impairment loss of $103.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a $103.2 million goodwill impairment loss related to the Consumer Payments segment. The fair value of the Consumer Payments reporting unit was primarily impacted by a change in the discount rate and the decrease to comparable publicly traded companies’ multiples.

Interest Income

Interest income was $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, due to lower average interest rates earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, due to a higher outstanding principal balance under the convertible senior notes.

Change in Fair Value of Tax Receivable Liability

We incurred a loss, related to accretion expense and fair value adjustment of the tax receivable liability, of $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a $3.4 million net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $0.9 million. This decrease was due to lower fair value adjustments related to the tax receivable liability, primarily as a result of accretion and changes to the discount rate, or Early Termination Rate, used to determine the fair value of the liability.

Income Tax Benefit

Income tax benefit was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This was a result of the operating loss incurred by us, primarily driven by the change in fair value of the tax receivable liability, stock-based compensation deductions and the amortization of assets acquired in the Business Combination and prior acquisitions, partially offset by stock-based compensation expense net tax shortfall and the impact of the recording of the non-cash impairment loss. The income tax benefit was $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which was a result of the operating loss incurred by us, primarily driven by the change in fair value of the tax receivable liability, stock-based compensation deductions and the amortization of assets acquired in the Business Combination and prior acquisitions, partially offset by stock-based compensation expense net tax shortfall which is required to be reported discretely in the interim period in which they occur.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

Revenue

Total revenue was $153.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and $155.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $2.7 million or 1.7%. This decrease was the result of impacts of previously announced client losses and political media spending in the first half of 2024 associated with the 2024 election cycle in our media payments business, partially offset from newly signed clients and the growth of our existing clients.

Cost of Services

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $50.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and $53.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $3.0 million or 5.6%, primarily driven by a reduction in amortization in software.

Interest expense was $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to a higher outstanding principal balance under the convertible senior notes.

Change in Fair Value of Tax Receivable Liability

We incurred a loss, related to accretion expense and fair value adjustment of the tax receivable liability of $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a $6.3 million net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $0.7 million. This decrease was due to lower fair value adjustments related to the tax receivable liability, primarily as a result of accretion and changes to the discount rate, or Early Termination Rate, used to determine the fair value of the liability.

Income Tax Benefit

Income tax benefit was $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This was a result of the operating loss incurred by us, primarily driven by the change in fair value of the tax receivable liability, stock-based compensation deductions and the amortization of assets acquired in the Business Combination and prior acquisitions, partially offset by stock-based compensation expense net tax shortfall and the impact of the recording of the non-cash impairment loss. The income tax benefit was $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which was a result of the operating loss incurred by us, primarily driven by the change in fair value of the tax receivable liability, stock-based compensation deductions and the amortization of assets acquired in the Business Combination and prior acquisitions, partially offset by stock-based compensation expense net tax shortfall and the state rate change impact on deferred taxes which are both required to be reported discretely in the interim period in which they occur.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to evaluate our operating business, measure our performance and make strategic decisions.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income prior to interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to add back certain charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as non-cash impairment loss, non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities, share-based compensation charges, transaction expenses, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs and other non-recurring charges.

Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income prior to amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, as adjusted to add back certain charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as non-cash impairment loss, non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities, share-based compensation expense, transaction expenses, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs, other non-recurring charges, non-cash interest expense and net of tax effect associated with these adjustments. Adjusted Net Income is adjusted to exclude amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Management believes that the adjustment of acquisition-related intangible amortization supplements GAAP financial measures because it allows for greater comparability of operating performance. Although we exclude amortization from acquisition-related intangibles from our non-GAAP expenses, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangibles were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.

Adjusted Net Income per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of the outstanding Post-Merger Repay Units) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (excluding shares subject to forfeiture).

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as management. However, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating profit or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Using these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze our business has material limitations because the calculations are based on the subjective determination of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find significant. In addition, although other companies in our industry may report measures titled Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share or similar measures, such non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from how we calculate our non-GAAP financial measures, which reduces their overall usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

The following tables set forth a reconciliation of our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

(1) Adjusted Net Income is adjusted to exclude amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions (see corresponding adjustments in the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted Net Income presented above). Management believes that the adjustment of acquisition-related intangible amortization supplements GAAP financial measures because it allows for greater comparability of operating performance. Although we exclude amortization from acquisition-related intangibles from our non-GAAP expenses, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangibles were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangibles that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangibles have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangibles.

(i) Represents amortization of non-cash deferred debt issuance costs.

(k) Represents the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of outstanding Post-Merger Repay Units) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. These numbers do not include any shares issuable upon conversion of our 2026 Notes. See the reconciliation of basic weighted average shares outstanding to the non-GAAP Class A common stock outstanding on an as-converted basis for each respective period below:

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $31.8 million and $33.7 million, respectively, representing a 5.7% year-over-year decrease. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $65.0 million and $69.2 million, respectively, representing a 6.1% year-over-year decrease.

Adjusted Net Income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $19.1 million and $21.8 million, respectively, representing a 12.3% year-over-year decrease. Adjusted Net Income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $39.4 million and $44.1 million, respectively, representing a 10.8% year-over-year decrease.

Net loss attributable to the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $102.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively. Net loss attributable to the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $110.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively.

The decreases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income and increase in net loss attributable to the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily due to the organic growth of our business from newly signed clients, the growth of existing clients and cost savings initiatives being more than offset from impacts from previously announced client losses and political media spending in the first half of 2024 associated with the 2024 election cycle in our media payments business. In addition, the increase in net loss attributable to the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were impacted by the goodwill impairment loss.

Seasonality

We have experienced in the past, and may continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in our revenues as a result of consumer spending and political media spending patterns. Revenues during the first quarter of the calendar year tend to increase in comparison to the remaining three quarters of the calendar year. This increase is due to consumers’ receipt of tax refunds and the increases in repayment activity levels that follow. In addition, Business Payments revenue from clients in our media payments business is cyclical. Revenue connected to political advertising spending increases significantly during the third and fourth quarter of election years, such as the mid-term and presidential election cycles. Operating expenses show less seasonal fluctuation, with the result that net income is subject to the similar seasonal factors as our revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations and working capital through net cash from operating activities. As of June 30, 2025, we had $162.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity of $250.0 million under the Second Amended Credit Agreement. This balance does not include restricted cash, which reflects cash accounts holding reserves for potential losses and client settlement funds of $46.4 million as of June 30, 2025. Our primary cash needs are to fund working capital requirements, invest in technology development, fund acquisitions and related contingent consideration, make principal payments and interest payments on, refinance or repurchase our outstanding indebtedness, repurchase stock under our Share Repurchase Program, and pay tax distributions to members of Hawk Parent. We expect that our cash flow from operations, current cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund our operations and planned capital expenditures and to service our debt obligations for the next twelve months and the following five years.

We are a holding company with no operations and depend on our subsidiaries for cash to fund all of our consolidated operations, including future dividend payments, if any. We depend on the payment of distributions by our current subsidiaries, including Hawk Parent, which distributions may be restricted by law or contractual agreements, including agreements governing their indebtedness. For a discussion of those considerations and restrictions, refer to Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Class A Common Stock” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

On May 16, 2022, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $50 million of our outstanding Class A common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). On May 8, 2025, our board of directors approved the increase of its authorized Share Repurchase Program to up to $75 million. The Share Repurchase Program has no expiration date but may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased approximately 4.8 million shares for $22.6 million. As of June 30, 2025, we have $38.6 million remaining capacity under the Share Repurchase Program. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, we have repurchased 3.1 million additional shares under the Share Repurchase Program through August 7, 2025.

The following table presents a summary of cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated:

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $35.6 million and $55.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which reflects net income as adjusted for non-cash operating items including depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and changes in working capital accounts.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $21.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to the capitalization of software development activities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $22.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to the capitalization of software development activities.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $42.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to shares repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program, a payment under the TRA and the payments for tax withholding related to shares vesting under the Incentive Plan and ESPP.

Net cash used in financing activities was $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to the payments for tax withholding related to shares vesting under the Incentive Plan and ESPP.

Indebtedness

Second Amended Credit Agreement

On July 10, 2024, we entered into the Second Amended Credit Agreement with certain financial institutions, as lenders, and Truist Bank, as administrative agent. The Second Amended Credit Agreement establishes a $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. This facility matures on the earlier of (a) July 10, 2029, (b) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the 2026 Notes (subject to certain exceptions for adequate liquidity) and (c) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the 2029 Notes (subject to certain exceptions for adequate liquidity). The maturity date may be extended, subject to certain terms and conditions.

As of June 30, 2025, the Second Amended Credit Agreement provided for a revolving credit facility of $250.0 million. As of June 30, 2025, we had $0 million drawn against the revolving credit facility. We paid $0.2 million and $0.3 million in fees related to unused commitments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. We paid $0.1 million and $0.2 million in fees related to unused commitments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Convertible Senior Notes

On January 19, 2021, we issued $440.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of such 2026 Notes were sold in the 2026 Notes offering in connection with the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase such additional 2026 Notes pursuant to the purchase agreement. Upon conversion, we may choose to pay or deliver cash, shares of our Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our Class A common stock. The 2026 Notes will mature on February 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, repurchased or redeemed. On July 8, 2024, we used approximately $200.0 million of proceeds from the offering of 2029 Notes and approximately $5.1 million of cash on hand to repurchase $220.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes in connection with the 2029 Notes offering.

On July 8, 2024, we issued $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. $27.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes were sold in connection with the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase such additional 2029 Notes offering pursuant to the purchase agreement. We will settle conversions of the 2029 Notes by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be converted and cash, shares of Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares, at our election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes being converted. The 2029 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.875% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2025. The 2029 Notes will mature on July 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms.

As of June 30, 2025, we had convertible senior notes outstanding of $498.4 million, net of deferred issuance costs, under the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes. We were in compliance with the related restrictive covenants. Additionally, we currently expect that we will remain in compliance with the restrictive covenants under the 2026 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the Second Amended Credit Agreement, prospectively.

Tax Receivable Agreement

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, we entered into the TRA with holders of Post-Merger Repay Units. As a result of the TRA, we established a liability in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Such liability, which will increase upon the redemptions or exchanges of Post-Merger Repay Units for our Class A common stock, generally represents 100% of the estimated future tax benefit, if any, relating to the increase in tax basis that will result from redemptions or exchanges of the Post-Merger Repay Units for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and certain other tax attributes of the Company and tax benefits of entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the TRA.

Under the terms of the TRA, we may elect to terminate the TRA early but will be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future cash tax savings. As a result, the associated liability reported on our condensed consolidated financial statements may be increased. We expect that the payment obligations required under the TRA will be substantial. The actual increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of redemptions or exchanges by the holders of Post-Merger Repay Units, the price of our Class A common stock at the time of the redemption or exchange, whether such redemptions or exchanges are taxable, the amount and timing of the taxable income we generate in the future, the tax rate then applicable and the portion of our payments under the TRA constituting imputed interest. We expect to fund the payment of the amounts due under the TRA out of the cash savings that we actually realize in respect of the attributes to which TRA relates. However, the payments required to be made could be in excess of the actual tax benefits that we realize and there can be no assurance that we will be able to finance our obligations under the TRA.

Critical Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and critical accounting estimates for the six months ended June 30, 2025. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for a complete discussion of critical accounting policies and critical accounting estimates.

Effects of Inflation

While inflation may impact our revenues and cost of services, we believe the effects of inflation, if any, on our results of operations and financial condition have not been significant. However, there can be no assurance that our results of operations and financial condition will not be materially impacted by inflation in the future.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including U.S. fiscal and monetary policies and domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors beyond our control. Interest rate risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in the level of interest rates and the spread between different interest rates. We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on debt, which bears interest at variable rates. Our revolving credit facility under the Second Amended Credit Agreement has floating interest rates. We are exposed to changes in the level of interest rates and to changes in the relationship or spread between interest rates for its floating rate debt. Our floating rate debt requires payments based on variable interest rates such as the federal funds rate, prime rate, eurocurrency rate, and SOFR. Therefore, increases in interest rates may reduce our net income or loss by increasing the cost of debt. As of June 30, 2025, we had convertible senior notes of $498.4 million, net of deferred issuance costs outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, we had convertible senior notes of $496.8 million, net of deferred issuance costs, outstanding. The borrowings under the Second Amended Credit Agreement accrue interest at either base rate, described above under “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness,” plus a margin of 0.75% to 1.75% or at an adjusted SOFR rate plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.75% under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, in each case depending on the total net leverage ratio, as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement.

We may incur additional borrowings from time to time for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Invoices for our services are denominated in U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars. We do not expect our future operating results to be significantly affected by foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Controls and procedures

As filed, 1,812 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.

Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
