CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements relating to our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including, among others, statements regarding expected growth, future capital expenditures and debt service obligations, and the anticipated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (and any variants of the virus) on our business, and our expectations regarding our filer status as of December 31, 2021 are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential”,“potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions though not all forward-looking statements can be identified by such terms or expressions. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are subject to a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to the following:

the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on our business and results of operations;

the COVID-19 global pandemic has had and may continue to have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations;

substantial and increasingly intense competition worldwide in the financial services, payments and payment technology industries;

our ability to anticipate and respond to changing industry trends and the needs and preferences of our merchants and consumers;

our ability to anticipate and respond to changing industry trends and the needs and preferences of our merchants and consumers may adversely affect our competitiveness or the demand for our reliance on third-party vendors to provide products and services;

risks associated with acquisitions;

acquisitions create certain risks and may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations;

our expansion of our share of the existing payment processing markets or into new markets;

dependence on our merchant and software partner relationships and strategic partnerships with various institutions to operate and grow our business;

we depend, in part, on our merchant and software partner relationships and strategic partnerships with various institutions to operate and grow our business. If we are unable to maintain these relationships and partnerships, our business may be adversely affected;

impairment of significant amounts of goodwill and intangible assets on our balance sheet;

our balance sheet includes significant amounts of goodwill and intangible assets. The impairment of a significant portion of these assets would negatively affect our business, financial condition or results of operations;

failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, anti-money laundering, economic and trade sanctions regulations, and similar laws;

failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) anti-money laundering, economic and trade sanctions regulations, and similar laws could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences;

our dependence on our interest in Shift4 Payments, LLC to pay our taxes and expenses, including payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”);

our principal asset is our interest in Shift4 Payments, LLC, and, as a result, we depend on distributions from Shift4 Payments, LLC to pay our taxes and expenses, including payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”).

Concurrently with the IPO, the Company also completed a $100.0 million private placement of 4,625,346 shares of Class C common stock to Rook Holdings Inc.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited. These unauditedinterim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the SECU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. As such, these financialfinancial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The December 31, 20202021 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP applicable to interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or future periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020,2021, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2020fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K.

10-K”).

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shift4 Payments, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Shift4 Payments, Inc. consolidates the financial results of Shift4 Payments, LLC, which is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Shift4 Payments, Inc. is the primary beneficiary and sole managing member of Shift4 Payments, LLC and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity. As a result, the Company consolidates Shift4 Payments, LLC and reports a noncontrolling interest representing the economic interest in Shift4 Payments, LLC held by Rook Holdings Inc. (“Rook”). Prior to May 24, 2022, the noncontrolling interest also included the economic interest in Shift4 Payments, LLC held by certain affiliates of Searchlight Capital Partners (“Searchlight”) and(together with Rook, (together, the “Continuing Equity Owners”).

As the Reorganization Transactions are considered transactions between entities under common control, the financial statement presentation for the periods prior to the IPO and Reorganization Transactions have been adjusted to combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes. Prior to the Reorganization Transactions, Shift4 Payments, Inc. had no operations.

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The assets and liabilities of Shift4 Payments, LLC represent substantially all of the consolidated assets and liabilities of Shift4 Payments, Inc. with the exception of certain cash balances, contingent consideration for earnout liabilities for The Giving Block, Inc. (“The Giving Block”), and the aggregate principal amount of $690.0 million of 2025 Convertible Notes that

Liquidity and Management’s Plan

The unprecedented and rapid spread of COVID-19 as well as the shelter-in place orders, promotion of social distancing measures, restrictions to businesses deemed non-essential, and travel restrictions implemented throughout the United States have significantly impacted the restaurant and hospitality industries. As a result, the Company’s revenues, which are largely tied to processing volumes in these verticals, were materially impacted beginning in the final two weeks of March 2020. Since late March 2020, despite volumes in merchant categories associated with international travel, corporate travel and stadium occupancy running lower than pre COVID-19 pandemic levels, the Company has seen a significant recovery in its end-to-end payment volumes as a result of merchants reopening their operations, new merchant onboarding and gateway conversions. While gross revenue and end-to-end volumes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 have exceeded those for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of potential COVID-19-related impacts to its business, consolidated results of operations, and liquidity.

As of June 30, 2021,2022, the Company had $1,140.0$1,772.5 million total principal amount of debt outstanding under its credit facilities and was in compliance with the financial covenants under its debt agreements. The Company expects to be in compliance for at least 12 months following issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 109 for further information on the Company’s debt obligations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates of fair value of acquired assets and liabilities through business combinations, fair value of contingent liabilities related to earnout payments, and change of control, fair value of debt instruments, allowance for doubtful accounts, income taxes, investments in securities and noncontrolling interests and the February 2021 transfer of the right to select a participant for one seat on board Inspiration4, the first all-civilian mission to space, from Jared Isaacman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and founder (“Founder”).interests. Estimates are based on past experience and other considerations reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Additionally, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated. However, the Company has made accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

During the course of preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, it was identified that $4.8 million of acquired technology recorded in “Other intangible assets, net” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet should have been impaired during fiscal year 2018. Although the Company has determined that this error did not have a material impact on its previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements, it has revised the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements to correct for this error and to reflect the associated decrease in amortization expense of $0.2 million and $0.3 million recorded in “Cost of Sales” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

In addition, a misclassification of $0.9 million and $2.1 million was identified for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, resulting from expensing equipment provided to customers under the Company’s warranty program as “General and administrative expenses” which should have been classified as “Cost of sales” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. This misclassification has also been corrected in connection with the revision of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The revisions had no net impact on cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06,

Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. This ASU removes certain separation models in ASC 470-20 for convertible instruments, and, as a result, embedded conversion features that do not require bifurcation under ASC 815 are no longer subject to separation into an equity classified component. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument, such as the Company's 2025 Convertible Notes, shall be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective transition method. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had recorded a discount on the 2025 Convertible Notes of $111.5 million related to the separation of the conversion feature. This discount resulted in the accretion of interest expense over time and was removed upon adoption of this ASU. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 resulted in a decrease to additional paid-in capital of $111.5 million, a decrease to retained deficit of $1.6 million and a net increase to long-term debt of $109.9 million. Interest expense recognized in future periods will be reduced as a result of accounting for the convertible debt instrument as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. The impact on net income (loss) per share and the Company’s debt covenants was not material.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13: Fair Value Measurement—Disclosure Framework (Topic 820). The updated guidance improves the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 effective January 1, 2020 and there was no significant impact on the Company’s disclosures upon adoption.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted   

In February 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02: Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases. The new standard (“ASC 842”) with amendments in 2018 and 2019. This accounting guidance requires a lessee to record assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations arising from leases with terms of more than 12 months. The Company expects to become a large accelerated filer effective December 31, 2021, at which point the Company will follow the timeline for adoption of new accounting pronouncements for public companies. As a result, the Company expects to adopt this guidance on a modified retrospective basis on December 31, 2021 and to reflect the adoption as ofOn January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective method, reflecting the adoption in the Company’s annual results for the period ended December 31, 20212021. Prior period amounts were not adjusted and interim periods beginningcontinue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting under previous lease guidance, ASC 840, Leases (“ASC 840”). The Company elected to use the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance. The Company did not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, or (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For lease agreements where the Company is a lessee that include lease and non-lease components, the Company elected to use the practical expedient on all leases entered into or modified after January 1, 2022.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13: Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets, including accounts receivable, and replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with ana current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. The Company expects to become a large accelerated filer effective December 31, 2021, at which point the Company will follow the timeline for adoption of new accounting pronouncements for public companies. As a result, the Company expects to adopt this guidanceadopted ASU 2016-13 on a modified retrospective basis on December 31, 2021, and to reflectreflecting the adoption as of January 1, 2021 in our annual results for the period ended December 31, 2021 and interim periods beginning January 1, 2022.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes step 2 of the quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The Company expects to apply this guidance to the annual goodwill impairment test performed on October 1, 2021 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adopting ASU 2017-04 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected. The guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 prospectively for the Company’s annual reporting period effective January 1, 2021 and will adopt it for interim reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2022. The adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions associated with (i) intraperiod tax allocations, (ii) recognition of deferred tax liability for equity method investments of foreign subsidiaries, and (iii) the calculation of income taxes in an interim period when in a loss position. Additionally, ASU 2019-12 simplifies accounting for (i) income taxes associated with franchise taxes, (ii) tax basis of goodwill in a business combination, (iii) the allocation of tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in standalone financial statements, (iv) enacted changes in tax laws, and (v) income taxes related to employee stock ownership plans and investments in qualified affordable housing projects accounted for under the equity method. The Company expects to become a large accelerated filer effective December 31, 2021, at which point the Company will follow the timeline for adoption of new accounting pronouncements for public companies.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05: 2021-05, Lessors —CertainLessors—Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments, to amend lessor accounting for certain leases with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate and would have resulted in the recognition of a loss at lease commencement if classified as a sales-type or a direct financing lease.

2.In March 2022, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121 (“SAB 121”), which provided interpretive guidance regarding the accounting for obligations to safeguard crypto-assets an entity holds for users of its crypto platform. This guidance requires entities that hold crypto-assets on behalf of platform users to recognize a liability accompanied by an asset of the same value on its balance sheet to reflect the entity’s obligation to safeguard the crypto-assets held for its platform users. The liability and asset should be measured at initial recognition and each reporting date at the fair value of the crypto-assets that the entity is responsible for holding for its platform users. The entity should also describe in the footnotes to the financial statements the nature and amount of crypto-assets the entity is responsible for safeguarding for its platform users and how the fair value is determined, and should also consider including information regarding who (e.g. the entity, its agent, or another third party) holds the cryptographic key information, maintains the internal recordkeeping of those assets, and is obligated to secure the assets and protect them from loss or theft. This guidance is effective from the first interim period after June 15, 2022 and should be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted SAB 121 on a retrospective basis effective June 30, 2022, resulting in the recognition of $1.2 million of crypto settlement assets within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and $1.2 million of crypto settlement liabilities within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022 associated with The Giving Block. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Companies may elect to apply these amendments through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating whether we will elect the optional expedients, as well as evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.Acquisitions
Each of the following acquisitions was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The respective purchase prices were allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired, which cannot be individually identified or separately recognized. Under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, if there are changes to acquired deferred tax balances, valuation allowances or liabilities related to uncertain tax positions during the measurement period, and they are related to new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, those changes are considered a measurement-period adjustment, with the offset recorded to goodwill.

As of December 31, 2020, in accounting for the issuance of the 2025 Convertible Notes, the Company separated the 2025 Convertible Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was $114.2 million and was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the par value of the 2025 Convertible Notes.

Debt issuance costs related to the 2025 Convertible Notes are comprised of discounts and commissions payable to the initial purchasers and third-party offering costs and total $16.4 million. As of December 31, 2020, the Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components of the 2025 Note based on their relative values. Issuance costs attributable to the equity component were netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a discount on the 2025 Convertible Notes of $111.5 million related to the separation of the conversion feature. This discount was removed upon adoption of this ASU. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 resulted in a decrease to additional paid-in capital of $111.5 million, a decrease to retained deficit of $1.6 million, and a net increase to long-term debt, and incurred fees of $109.9 million.

Loans incurred under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the Company’s option at either the LIBO rate plus a margin ranging from 3.00% to 3.50% per year or the alternate base rate (the highest of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, or the prime rate announced from time to time in The Wall Street Journal) plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% per year (such margins being referred to as the “Applicable Rate”). The Applicable Rate varies depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). The alternate base rate and the LIBO rate are each subject to a 0 percent floor.

In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee under the Revolving Credit Facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder at a rate ranging from 0.25% per year to 0.50% per year, in each case based on the total leverage ratio. The Company is also subject to customary letter of credit and agency fees.

Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of the Company’s current and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exceptions as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all the property and assets (real and personal, tangible and intangible) of the Company and the other guarantors, subject to certain customary exceptions.

The Amended Credit Agreement requires compliance with certain financial covenants, including a maximum secured leverage ratio, tested quarterly when the loans and certain letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility exceed 35% of the total revolving commitments. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement contains various covenants that, among other restrictions, limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur indebtedness; incur certain liens; consolidate, merge or sell or otherwise dispose of assets; alter the business conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries; make investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; pay dividends or make other distributions on equity interests, or redeem, repurchase or retire equity interests; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into agreements restricting the ability to pay dividends; redeem, repurchase or refinance other indebtedness; and amend or modify governing documents. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2021.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains events of default that are customary for a secured credit facility. If an event of default relating to bankruptcy or other insolvency events with respect to a borrower occurs, all obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement will immediately become due and payable. If any other event of default exists under the Amended Credit Agreement, the lenders may accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement and exercise other rights and remedies,

including charging a default rate of interest equal to 2.00% per year above the rate that would otherwise be applicable. In addition, if any event of default exists under the Amended Credit Agreement, the lenders may commence foreclosure or other actions against the collateral.

Fair Value Measurement

11.Fair Value Measurement
U.S. GAAP defines a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted process in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The Company determines the fair values of its assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in accordance with the hierarchy described below. The following three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of theLevel 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include items where the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include items where the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
The Company makes recurring fair value measurements of contingent liabilities arising from certain acquisitions using Level 3 unobservable inputs. These amounts relate to a change of control provision and expected earnout payments related to the number of existing point-of-sale merchants that convert to full acquiring merchants.

The contingent liability related to a change of control was measured on the acquisition date using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on expected possible valuations of the Company upon a change of control and is remeasured at each reporting date due to changes in management’s expectations regarding possible future valuations of the Company, including considerations of changes in results of the Company, guideline public company multiples, and expected volatility.

Changes in the volatility and discount rate were due to broader market conditions. See Note 2 for more information on the terms of the acquired business, along with projected results for the remaining earnout period, to calculate the expected earnout payment to be made using the agreed upon formula as laid out in the respective acquisition agreement.

The Company’s effective tax rate was (421.4)% and (0.8)(9.9)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and 2020, respectively,six months ended June 30, 2022 was different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the loss allocated to the noncontrolling interest and (9.9)%the full valuation allowances on Shift4 Payments, Inc. and (0.4)% forVenueNext, Inc. in the United States. In addition, the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The2022 also includes the impact of a $6.4 million income tax benefit related to the valuation allowance release due to acquired deferred tax liabilities from The Giving Block. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the loss allocated to the noncontrolling interest, changes in the full valuation allowances on Shift4 Payments, Inc. and VenueNext, Inc. in the United States, the tax windfall related to vested equity-based compensation awards, and the near break-even loss before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the loss allocated to the noncontrolling interest, changes in the valuation allowances in the United States and recording a tax benefit of $0.6 million for a net operating loss carryback at Shift4 Corporation which was allowed due to the CARES Act.

Tax Receivable Agreement

The Company expects to obtain an increase in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of Shift4 Payments, LLC as LLC Interests are redeemed from or exchanged by the Continuing Equity OwnersRook, at the option of the Company, determined solely by the Company’s independent directors. The Company intends to treat any redemptions and exchanges of LLC Interests as direct purchases of LLC Interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that it would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. In connection with the Reorganization Transactions and the IPO, the Company entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with the Continuing Equity Owners.

The TRA provides for the payment by Shift4 Payments, Inc. of 85% of the amount of any tax benefits the Company actually realizes, or in some cases is deemed to realize, as a result of (i) increases in the Company’s share of the tax basis in the net assets of Shift4 Payments, LLC resulting from any redemptions or exchanges of LLC Interests, (ii) tax basis increases attributable to payments made under the TRA, and (iii) deductions attributable to imputed interest pursuant to the TRA. The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of any of cash savings that it realizes.

The Company has not recognized anyrecognized a $248.3 million liability under the TRA after concluding it was not probable that such TRA Payments would be paid based on its estimates of future taxable income. No payments were made to the Continuing Equity Owners pursuant to the TRA during the three orand six months ended June 30, 2021.2022. The amounts payable under the TRA will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the amount, character, and timing of the taxable income of Shift4 Payments, Inc. in the future. If the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets applicable to the tax attributes referenced above is released in a future period, the TRA liability may be considered probable at that time and recorded within earnings.

If all of the remaining Continuing Equity OwnersRook were to exchange all of theirits LLC Units, the Company does not expect the deferred tax asset or TRA liability to vary substantially from the amounts reported in the 20202021 Form 10-K. The actualactual amount of deferred tax assets and related liabilities are impacted by the timing of the exchanges, the valuation of Shift4 Corporation, the price of the Company’s shares of Class A common stock at the time of the exchange, and the tax rates then in effect.

The right was transferred to the Company as a non-cash contribution and recorded at its estimated fair value of $2.1 million in “Additional paid-in capital” on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2021, and expensed within “Advertising and marketing” on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in March 2021 when the participant was selected for the mission through a contest held by the Company.

In the six monthsfiscal year ended June 30,December 31, 2021, the Company incurred a significant amount of nonrecurring expenses to integrate, rebrand and promote 3dcart to Shift4Shop in conjunction with the Inspiration4 announcement. The Company leveraged this unique opportunity to deploy Shift4Shop and promote the Shift4 brand as a whole. A portion of these expenses represented a combined marketing and promotion effort designed to bring attention to both Shift4Shop and the Inspiration4 mission. Management performed a review of the expenses and determined that certainCertain expenses, totaling $0.8$0.9 million, were directly associated with the Inspiration4 mission and were reimbursedreimbursable by the Founder. As of December 31, 2021, a $0.1 million receivable from the Founder was recorded as of“Accounts receivable” on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no amounts outstanding at June 30, 2021.

Rook entered into a margin loan agreement in September 2020, (“September 2020 Margin Loan”), pursuant to which it pledged LLC Interests and shares of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock (collectively, “Rook Units”) to secure a margin loan. The September 2020 Margin Loan was repaid in March 2021.

Rook entered into a margin loan agreement, replacing the September 2020 Margin Loan, in March 2021 (“March 2021 Margin Loan”), pursuant to which it pledged Rook Units to secure a margin loan. If Rook were to default on its obligations under the margin loan and fail to cure such default, the lender would have the right to exchange and sell up to 10,000,000 Rook units for an equal number of the Company’s Class A common stock to satisfy Rook’s obligation.

In March 2021, the Founder, through a wholly-owned special purpose vehicle (“SPV”), entered into a variable prepaid forward contract (“VPF Contract”) with an unaffiliated dealer (“Dealer”), covering approximately 2.0 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The VPF Contract is scheduled to settle on specified dates in February, March and April 2023, at which time the actual number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to be delivered by the SPV will be determined based on the price of the Company’s Class A common stock on such dates relative to the forward floor price of $73.19 per share and the forward cap price of $137.24 per share, with the aggregate number not to exceed approximately 2.0 million shares, which is the number of shares of Company’s Class B common stock and LLC units pledged by Rook to secure its obligations under the contract. Subject to certain conditions, the SPV can also elect to settle the VPF Contract in cash and thereby retain full ownership of the pledged shares and units.

In September 2021, the Founder, through the SPV, entered into 2 VPF Contracts with a Dealer, one covering approximately 2.18 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and the other covering approximately 2.26 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The VPF Contracts are both scheduled to settle on specified dates in June, July, August and September 2024, at which time the actual number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to be delivered by the SPV will be determined based on the price of the Company’s Class A common stock on such dates relative to the forward floor price of approximately $66.424 per share and the forward cap price of approximately $112.09 per share for the contract covering approximately 2.18 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, and to the forward floor price of $66.424 per share and the forward cap price of approximately $120.39 per share for the contract covering approximately 2.26 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, with the aggregate number not to exceed approximately 4.44 million shares, which is the aggregate number of shares of Company’s Class B common stock and their associated common units of Shift4 Payments, LLC pledged by the SPV to secure its obligations under the contracts. Subject to certain conditions, the SPV can also elect to settle the VPF Contracts in cash and thereby retain full ownership of the pledged shares and units.
If Rook were to default on its obligations under the VPF ContractContracts and fail to cure such default, the Dealer would have the right to exchange the pledged Class B stock and LLC interests for an equal number of the Company’s Class A common stock, and sell such Class A common stock to satisfy Rook’s obligation.

16.In June 2022, the Company entered into a $3.6 million residual commission buyout agreement with a relative of the Founder, consisting of an initial payment of $2.5 million in cash and $0.6 million in shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, and a contingent payment of $0.5 million in cash payable after 12 months, subject to certain conditions related to the performance of the acquired assets.

Commitments and Contingencies

15.Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these, or other matters, may arise from time to time that may harm the Company’s business. In August 2021, TSYS, a Global Payments company and an important vendor to the Company, experienced a significant platform outage resulting in a payment processing service disruption that lasted for several hours. TSYS is utilized by many major credit card issuers and payment processors, which meant the impact of the outage was felt by many card accepting merchants and cardholders across the nation. The Company took steps to lessen the financial impact to its merchants and partners due to the TSYS outage and is seeking compensation through a variety of channels, including engaging with the responsible party.
The Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that the Company believes will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the periods following the Reorganization Transactions under the two-class method.

Basic and diluted income (loss) per share of the Company is calculated for the Company's current outstanding classes of common stock. Prior to the Reorganization Transactions, the Shift4 Payments, LLC membership structure included Class A Common units and Class B Common units. Certain of these units were exchanged for Class A and Class C common stock of the Company in the Reorganization Transactions, but not in a proportionate manner, with the remaining units reflecting a noncontrolling interest in the Company. The basic and diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 represents only the period from June 5, 2020 to June 30, 2020, the period where the Company had outstanding Class A and Class C common stock.

Basic net income (loss) per share has been computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the same period. Shares issued during the period and shares reacquired during the period are weighted for the portion of the period in which the shares were outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share has been computed in a manner consistent with that of basic net income (loss) per share while giving effect to all shares of potentially dilutive common stock that were outstanding during the period.

The unprecedented and rapid spread of COVID-19 as well as the shelter-in-place orders, promotion of social distancing measures, restrictions to businesses deemed non-essential, and travel restrictions implemented throughout the United States have significantly impacted the restaurant and hospitality industries – verticals in which we have predominantly focused on over the last decade.

In response to these developments, in 2020 we implemented measures to focus on the safety of our employees, including implementing remote working capabilities, and to support our merchants as they shifted to take-out and delivery operations, while at the same time seeking to mitigate the impact on our financial position and operations.

Our business was not significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic until the latter part of March 2020, at which time our end-to-end payment volumes declined 70%. Since late March 2020 when shelter-in-place, social distancing, the closing of non-essential businesses and other restrictive measures were first put in place across the United States, we have seen a significant recovery in our end-to-end payment volumes despite volumes in certain merchant categories associated with international travel, corporate travel and stadium occupancy running lower than pre COVID-19 pandemic levels. End-to-end payment volumes for the secondfourth quarter of 2021 were approximately 180% higher than end-to-end2022. Finaro is a cross-border eCommerce platform and bank specializing in solving complex payment volumesproblems for multi-national merchants that we believe will accelerate our growth in the second quarterinternational markets.

Factors Impacting Our Business and Results of 2020 and approximately 48% higher than the first quarter of 2021 as a result of merchants reopening their operations, new merchant onboarding and a growing number of gateway merchants converting to our end-to-end solution in 2021. While gross revenue and end-to-end payment volumes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 have exceeded those for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of potential COVID-19-related impacts to our business, consolidated results of operations, and liquidity. See Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2020 Form 10-K.

We believe we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our cash needs for at least the next twelve months, however, we continue to evaluate and take action, as necessary, to preserve adequate liquidity and ensure that our business can continue to operate during these uncertain times.

Factors impacting our business and results of operations

Operations

In general, our results of operations are impacted by factors such as the adoption of software solutions that are integrated with our payment solutions, continued investment in our core capabilities, on-goingongoing pursuit of strategic acquisitions, and macro-level economic trends.

Increased adoption of software-integrated payments. We primarily generate revenue through fees assessed on end-to-end payment volume initiated through our integrated software partners. These fees include volume-based payments, and transaction fees and subscription fees for software and technology solutions. We expect to grow this volume by attracting new integrated software partners through our market-leading and innovative solutions. These integrated software partners have proven to be an effective and efficient way of acquiring new merchants and servicing these relationships.

Continued focus on the sale ofconverting our gateway-only customers to our end-to-end payments offering and resulting revenue mix shift.offering. Our customers utilize our comprehensive solutions to solve a variety of business challenges. Currently, a large percentage of our merchant base usesrelies only on our proprietary gateway. Asgateway technology solution to process card-based payments. However, as more of these gateway-only merchants choose to also adopt our end-to-end payment solutions, our revenue per merchant and merchant retention are expected to increase.increase given the fees we generate on end-to-end payment processing services are significantly higher than the per transaction fees we earn on gateway-only services.

Mix of our merchant base. We continue to experience a shift to higher average revenue and higher average volume per merchant. The revenue and volume contribution of each merchant within our merchant portfolio is affected by several factors, including the amount of payment volume processed per merchant, the industry vertical in which the merchant operates, and the number of solutions implemented by the merchant. As theThe size and sophistication of our merchants change,average merchant continues to increase, and we may experience shifts in the average revenue per merchant and the weighted average pricing of the portfolio.

Ability to attract and retain software partners. A key pillar of our Shift4 Model is our partner-centric distribution approach. We work with our software partners who arerely on our suite of payment-related technology solutions to simplify the commerce needs of their end clients. Our ability to attract and retain our software partners is essential for our future growth and our ability to helping us grow and serveservice our merchant base. Maintainingexisting base of merchants. To this end, it is critical we maintain our product leadership andthrough continued investment in innovative technology solutions is criticalas a means to ensure we retain our current software partners while attracting and retainingnew software partners.

Network Fees

fees

Network fees were $324.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $214.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $74.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $140.3$109.4 million or 188.6%51.0%. This increase is correlated with the increase in end-to-end payment volume as described above.

See “—Key performance indicators“Key Performance Indicators and non-GAAP measures”Non-GAAP Measures” below for a reconciliation of gross profit to gross revenue less network fees.

Other costs of sales

Other costs of sales was $76.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $58.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, comparedan increase of $18.6 million, or 32.0%. This increase was primarily driven by:
higher residual commissions, which increased other costs of sales $12.9 million, primarily driven by the growth in gross revenue less network fees;
the Postec and The Giving Block acquisitions which collectively increased other costs of sales $1.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022;
higher capitalized software development amortization, which increased other costs of sales $1.5 million; and
higher capitalized acquisition cost amortization, which increased other costs of sales $1.3 million, related to $35.8deal bonuses paid to third-party distribution partners to obtain processing contracts.
Operating expenses
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $58.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $22.4 million, or 62.6%. This increase was primarily a result of:

higher residual commissions of $20.1 million driven by the growth in gross revenue less network fees;

the 3dcart, VenueNext and hospitality technology vendor acquisitions which collectively contributed $4.6 million2022, compared to other costs of sales in the three months ended June 30, 2021;

higher capitalized acquisition cost amortization of $1.6 million related to deal bonuses paid to VARs to obtain processing contracts; and,

higher capitalized software development amortization of $0.6 million; partially offset by,

the impact of modifying the terms and conditions of our SaaS arrangements and updating our operational procedures to account for our hardware as operating leases, which resulted in a decline of $6.5 million in costs of sales. Effective June 30, 2020, equipment leased to merchants is capitalized as a fixed asset, whereas, prior to June 30, 2020, these arrangements were accounted for as sales-type leases and expensed when deployed.

Operating expenses

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $51.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $6.3 million or 12.2%. The increase was primarily driven by the acquisitions of Postec and The Giving Block, which collectively increased general and administrative expenses $2.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, and higher insurance and travel expenses of $1.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $88.3the three months ended June 30, 2021, as a result of our continued growth and expansion.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was $16.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $36.6 million or 41.4%. The decrease was primarily due to lower equity-based compensation expense of $49.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021,2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, as a result of compensation expense recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2020 related to contractual change of control bonuses in connection with the IPO. See Note 20 in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on equity-based compensation and Note 12 in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on contingent liabilities. This was offset by higher employee-related expenses of $10.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, as a result of our continued growth and expansion. In addition, the recent acquisitions of VenueNext, 3dcart and a hospitality technology vendor collectively contributed $3.5 million in general and administrative expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was $15.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $1.2 million or 7.7%. The increase was primarily driven by higher depreciation for equipment under lease of $2.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $10.4the three months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, the acquisitions of Postec and The Giving Block collectively increased depreciation and amortization expense $0.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. This was partially offset by lower amortization of intangible assets of $1.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Professional fees. Professional fees were $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $5.1 million or 49.0%. The increase was primarily due2022, compared to hardware provided under our SaaS arrangements being accounted for as operating leases, effective June 30, 2020, while previously they were accounted for as sales-type leases. See Note 3 in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on the change to the terms and conditions of our SaaS arrangements.

Professional fees. Professional fees were $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, comparedan increase of $1.7 million or 48.6%. The increase was due to $1.2higher acquisition-related costs.

Interest income
Interest income was $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase2022, consisting primarily of $2.3 million or 191.7%. The increaseinterest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Advertising and marketing. Advertising and marketing expenses were $2.5$8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021,2022, compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $1.7 million or 212.5%. The increase was partially due to expenses related to the integration of 3dcart and its rebranding as Shift4Shop. These expenses are anticipated to be nonrecurring in nature. In addition, the VenueNext, 3dcart and hospitality technology vendor acquisitions collectively contributed $0.7 million in advertising and marketing expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Other operating (income) expense, net

Other operating (income) expense, net includes the impact of modifying the terms and conditions of our SaaS arrangements and updating our operational procedures. As a result, beginning June 30, 2020, hardware provided under our SaaS agreements is accounted for as an operating lease, whereas prior to June 30, 2020, these arrangements were accounted for as sales-type leases. An adjustment of $12.4 million was recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2020 to reflect the impact of the lease modifications.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

In connection with the pre-payment of $59.8 million on the First Lien Term Loan Facility and the full repayment of $130.0 million on the Second Lien Term Loan Facility, we incurred a non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt of $7.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 representing the unamortized capitalized financing costs associated with the debt prepayment. See Note 10 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $11.7an increase of $2.1 million or 33.3%. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (“2027 Convertible Notes”) in July 2021, as well as a $0.4 million special interest payment made for the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (“2025 Convertible Notes”) during the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $5.4 million or 46.2%. This decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the pre-payments for the First Lien and Second Lien Term Loan Facilities and the repayment of the Revolving Credit Facility, all of which were completed in June 2020, which impacted interest expense by approximately $4.2 million. In addition, the debt refinancing in October 2020 reduced the interest rate on our First Lien Term Loan Facility from 5.50% to 4.625% on the 2026 Senior Notes, which reduced interest expense by $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Gross revenue
Gross revenue was $908.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $590.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $318.3 million or 53.9%. Gross revenue is comprised of payments-based revenue and subscription and other revenues.
Payments-based revenue was $845.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $540.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $304.7 million or 56.4%. The increase in payments-based revenue was primarily driven by the increase in end-to-end payment volume of $10.5 billion, or 52.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Subscription and other revenues were $63.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $49.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $13.6 million or 27.4%. The increase in subscription and other revenues was driven primarily by the VenueNext, Postec and The Giving Block acquisitions, which collectively contributed $12.4 million more to subscription and other revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, deferred revenue increased $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Network fees
Network fees were $577.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $356.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $220.7 million or 61.9%. This increase is correlated with the increase in end-to-end payment volume as described above.
Gross revenue less network fees was $331.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $233.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $97.6 million or 41.7%. The increase in gross revenue less network fees was largely correlated with the increase in end-to-end payment volume. See “Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures” below for a reconciliation of gross profit to gross revenue less network fees.
Other costs of sales
Other costs of sales was $141.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $103.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $37.1 million, or 35.7%. This increase was primarily driven by:
higher residual commissions, which increased other costs of sales $29.1 million, were driven by the growth in gross revenue less network fees;
the VenueNext, Postec and The Giving Block acquisitions which collectively increased other costs of sales $3.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022;
higher variable costs associated with processing fees of $3.2 million;
higher capitalized acquisition cost amortization, which increased other costs of sales $2.5 million, related to deal bonuses paid to third-party distribution partners to obtain processing contracts; and
higher capitalized software development amortization, which increased other costs of sales $2.0 million; partially offset by
higher than normal chargeback losses during the six months ended June 30, 2021 driven by the business failure of one merchant causing $5.5 million in estimated unrecoverable chargeback transactions in 2021.
Operating expenses
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $124.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $105.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $19.0 million or 18.1%. The increase was primarily driven by higher compensation and other employee-related expenses of $7.2 million, higher insurance expenses of $1.5 million, and higher travel expenses of $1.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, as a result of our continued growth and expansion. In addition, the acquisitions of VenueNext, Postec and The Giving Block collectively increased general and administrative expenses $6.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

40

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was $34.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $30.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $3.1 million or 10.0%. The increase was primarily driven by higher depreciation for equipment under lease of $4.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, the acquisitions of VenueNext, Postec and The Giving Block collectively increased depreciation and amortization expense $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. This was partially offset by lower amortization of intangible assets of $2.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Professional fees. Professional fees were $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $4.2 million or 43.3%. The increase was primarily due to higher acquisition-related costs.
Advertising and marketing expenses. Advertising and marketing expenses were $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $22.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $17.0 million or 75.2%. The decrease was primarily driven by expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to the integration of 3dcart and its rebranding as Shift4Shop that were nonrecurring in nature. This was partially offset by the VenueNext, Postec and The Giving Block acquisitions, which collectively increased advertising and marketing expenses $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Transaction-related expenses. Transaction-related expenses were $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. These expenses were associated with a consent solicitation for the 2026 Senior Notes in March 2022. See Note 9 in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by the issuance of the 2027 Convertible Notes in July 2021, as well as a $0.4 million special interest payment made for the 2025 Convertible Notes during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Income tax benefit
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was (152.9)%, compared to the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of (9.9)%.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the loss allocated to the noncontrolling interest, changes in the full valuation allowances on Shift4 Payments, Inc. and VenueNext, Inc. in the United States, and recording a $6.4 million income tax benefit of $0.6 million for a net operating loss carryback at Shift4 Corporation which was allowed due to the CARES Act.

Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests

Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests of Shift4 Payments, LLC was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $(73.8) million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Gross Revenue

Gross revenue was $590.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $341.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $249.1 million or 73.0%. Gross revenue is comprised of payments-based revenue and subscription and other revenues.

Payments-based revenue was $540.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $297.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $243.1 million or 81.7%. The increase in payments-based revenue is primarily driven by an increase in end-to-end payment volume of $9.4 billion, or approximately 91%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted our end-to-end payment volumes beginning mid-March 2020 when shelter-in-place, social distancing, the closing of non-essential businesses and other restrictive measures were first put in place across the United States.

Subscription and other revenues were $49.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $43.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $6.0 million or 13.8%. The increase is driven by the 3dcart, VenueNext and hospitality technology vendor acquisitions which collectively contributed $10.7 million more to subscription and other revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. This was offset by a decrease in hardware revenue of $2.8 million primarily due to hardware provided under our SaaS arrangements being accounted for as operating leases in the six months ended June 30, 2021, whereby revenue is recognized monthly, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, when it was recognized at the time of shipment. In addition, software license revenue declined $0.7 million from the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Network Fees

Network fees were $356.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $194.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $161.8 million or 83.1%. This increase is correlated with the increase in end-to-end payment volume as described above.

Gross revenue less network fees was $233.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $146.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $87.3 million or 59.6%. The increase in gross revenue less network fees is largely correlated with the increase in end-to-end payment volume. See “—Key performance indicators and non-GAAP measures” for a reconciliation of gross profit to gross revenue less network fees.

Other costs of sales

Other costs of sales was $103.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $71.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $32.4 million, or 45.3%. This increase was primarily a result of:

higher residual commissions of $26.7 million driven by the growth in gross revenue less network fees;

higher than normal chargeback losses during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 driven by the business failure of one merchant causing $5.5 million in estimated unrecoverable chargeback transactions in 2021;

the 3dcart, VenueNext and hospitality technology vendor acquisitions which collectively contributed $6.2 million to other costs of sales in the three months ended June 30, 2021;

higher capitalized software development amortization of $1.2 million; and,

higher capitalized acquisition cost amortization of $3.2 million related to deal bonuses paid to VARs to obtain processing contracts; partially offset by,

the impact of modifying the terms and conditions of our SaaS arrangements and updating our operational procedures to account for our hardware as operating leases, which resulted in a decline of $12.6 million in costs of sales. Effective June 30, 2020, equipment leased to merchants is capitalized as a fixed asset, whereas, prior to June 30, 2020, these arrangements were accounted for as sales-type leases and expensed when deployed.

Operating expenses

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $105.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $109.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $4.2 million or 3.8%. The decrease was due to lower equity-based compensation expense of $27.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, as a result of compensation expense recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2020 related to contractual change of control bonuses in connection with the IPO. See Note 20 in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on equity-based compensation and Note 12 in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on contingent liabilities. This was offset by higher employee-related expenses of $12.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, as a result of our continued growth and expansion. In addition, the recent acquisitions of VenueNext, 3dcart and a hospitality technology vendor collectively contributed $11.3 million in general and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was $30.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $20.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $10.0 million or 47.8%. The increase was primarily due to hardware provided under our SaaS arrangements being accounted for as operating leases, effective June 30, 2020, while previously they were accounted for as sales-type leases. Depreciation expense incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to these operating leases was $9.6 million. See Note 3 in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on the change to the terms and conditions of our SaaS arrangements.

Professional fees. Professional fees were $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $6.8 million or 234.5%. The increase was due to acquisition-related costs and increased fees related to requirements of operating as a public company.

Advertising and marketing. Advertising and marketing expenses were $22.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $20.5 million. The increase was primarily due to expenses related to the integration of 3dcart and its rebranding as Shift4Shop. These expenses are anticipated to be nonrecurring in nature.

Other operating (income) expense, net

Other operating (income) expense, net includes the impact of modifying the terms and conditions of our SaaS arrangements and updating our operational procedures. As a result, beginning June 30, 2020, hardware provided under our SaaS agreements is accounted for as an operating lease, whereas prior to June 30, 2020, these arrangements were accounted for as sales-type leases. An adjustment of $12.4 million was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2020 to reflect the impact of the lease modifications.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

A loss on extinguishment of debt, representing unamortized capitalized financing costs, of $0.2 million was incurred with the refinancing of the Revolving Credit Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2021. In connection with the pre-payment of $59.8 million on the First Lien Term Loan Facility and the full repayment of $130.0 million on the Second Lien Term Loan Facility, we incurred a non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt of $7.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 representing the unamortized capitalized financing costs associated with the debt prepayment. See Note 10 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $25.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $12.2 million or 48.8%. This decrease in interest expense was primarilyvaluation allowance release due to the pre-payments for the First Lien and Second Lien Term Loan Facilities and the repayment of the Revolving Credit Facility, all of which were completed in June 2020, which impacted interest expense by approximately $9.2 million. In addition, the debt refinancing in October 2020 reduced the interest rate on our First Lien Term Loan Facilityacquired deferred tax liabilities from 5.50% to 4.625% on the 2026 Senior Notes, which reduced interest expense by $3.2 million.

Income tax benefit

The Giving Block. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was (9.9)%, compared to the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of (0.4)%. 

The 2021 income tax benefit was different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the loss allocated to the noncontrolling interest, changes in the full valuation allowances on Shift4 Payments, Inc. and VenueNext, Inc. in the United States, and the tax windfall related to vested equity-based compensation awards. The income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the loss allocated to the noncontrolling interest, changes in the valuation allowances in the United States and recording a tax benefit of $0.6 million for a net operating loss carryback at Shift4 Corporation which was allowed due to the CARES Act.

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of Shift4 Payments, LLC was $(1.0) million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $(16.9) million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $(78.9) million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The net loss incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2020 includes the net loss incurred prior to the Reorganization2021.

End-to-end payment volume

End-to-end payment volume is defined as the total dollar amount of card payments that we authorize and settle on behalf of our merchants.merchants plus total cryptocurrency amounts transacted, translated at the spot price to U.S. dollars. This volume does not include volume processed through our gateway-only merchants.

Gross revenue less network fees, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We use supplemental measures of our performance which are derived from our consolidated financial information but which are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include: gross revenue less network fees, which includes interchange and assessment fees; earnings before interest, expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”); and Adjusted EBITDA. Gross revenue less network fees represents a key performance metric that management uses to measure changes in the mix and value derived from our customer base as we continue to execute our strategy to expand our reach to serve larger, complex merchants. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary financial performance measure used by management to evaluate its business and monitor results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted for certain non-cash and other nonrecurring items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations. These adjustments include acquisition, restructuring and integration costs, equity-based compensation expense and other nonrecurring items.

The financial impact of certain elements of these activities is often large relative to the Company’s overall financial performance and can adversely affect the comparability of our operating results and investors’ ability to analyze the business from period to period.

We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results allows management to better understand our consolidated financial performance from period to period and better project our future consolidated financial performance as forecasts are developed at a level of detail different from that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide our stakeholders with useful information to help them evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our operating performance and enabling them to make more meaningful period to period comparisons. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report.Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income (loss) prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP

Overview

We have historically sourced our liquidity requirements primarily with cash flow from operations and, when needed, with debt borrowings under our Credit Facilities.or equity transactions. The principal uses for liquidity have been debt service, capital expenditures (including research and development) and funds required to finance acquisitions. Given the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the restaurant and hospitality industries, we continue to evaluate and take action, as necessary, to preserve adequate liquidity and ensure we can continue to successfully operate until these industries fully recover.

Critical accounting policies

Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and results of operations for the periods described is based on our audited consolidated financial statements, and our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, each of which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these historical financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Additionally, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated. However, we have made accounting estimates for our allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of our contingent liabilities, other intangible assets and goodwill based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We have provided a summary of our significant accounting policies in Note 1 in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The following critical accounting discussion pertains to accounting policies management believes are most critical to the portrayal of our historical financial condition and results of operations and that require significant, difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Other companies in similar businesses may use different estimation policies and methodologies, which may impact the comparability of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows to those of other companies.

New accounting pronouncements

For information regarding new accounting pronouncements, and the impact of these pronouncements on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, if any, refer to Note 1 in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

JOBS Act

We qualify as an EGC pursuant to the provisions of the JOBS Act, enacted on April 5, 2012. Section 102 of the JOBS Act provides that an EGC can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-EGCs. As a result, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

We are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if as an EGC we choose to rely on such exemptions, we may not be required to, among other things, (1) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our systems of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (2) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-EGCs under the Dodd-Frank Act, (3) comply with the requirement of the PCAOB regarding the communication of critical audit matters in the auditor’s report on the financial statements, and (4) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply until we no longer meet the requirements of being an EGC. We will remain an EGC until the earlier of (a) the last day of the fiscal year (i) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our IPO, (ii) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (iii) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the last business day of our prior second fiscal quarter, and (b) the date on which we have issued more than $1.07 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. As of June 30, 2021, the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million; therefore, as of December 31, 2021, we expect that we will cease to be an EGC.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are subject to risks relating to interest rates.

As of June 30, 2021,2022, we had approximately $1,140.0$1,772.5 million of fixed rate debt outstanding pursuant to the Notes, with a fair value of $1,408.0$1,411.2 million, none of which was subject to an interest rate hedge. Since thethese Notes bear interest at fixed rates, they do not result in any financial statement risk associated with changes in interest rates. However, the fair value of thethese Notes fluctuates when interest rates change.

We also have a Revolving Credit Facility available to us with available borrowing capacity of $99.5 million, net of a $0.5 million letter of credit. We are obligated to pay interest on loans under the Revolving Credit Facility as well as other customary fees, including an upfront fee and an unused commitment fee based on our debt rating. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, if any, bear interest at floating rates. As a result, we are exposed to the risk related to fluctuations in interest rate to the extent of our borrowings. As of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. See “Liquidity and capital resources”Capital Resources” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I, Item 22. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 109 in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are, from time to time, party to various claims and legal proceedings arising out of our ordinary course of business, but we do not believe that any of these existing claims or proceedings will have a material effect on our business, consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Investing in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. of our 2021 Form 10-K, the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes, as well as our other public filings with the SEC, before deciding to invest in our Class A common stock. Other than as described below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors previously disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K. The occurrence of any of the events described therein could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or prospects. In such an event, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business.

Business risks

We are subject to governmental regulation and other legal obligations, particularly related to privacy, data protection and information security, cryptocurrency, and consumer protection laws across different markets where we conduct our business. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business.

In the United States and other jurisdictions in which our services are used, we are subject to various privacy, data protection and information security, and consumer protection laws (including laws on disputed transactions) and related regulations. If we are found to have breached such laws or regulations in any such market, we may be subject to enforcement actions that require us to change our business practices in a manner which may negatively impact our revenue, as well as expose ourselves to litigation, fines, civil and/or criminal penalties and adverse publicity that could cause our customers to lose trust in us, negatively impacting our reputation and business in a manner that harms our financial position.

As part of our business, we collect personal information, also referred to as personal data, and other potentially sensitive and/or regulated data from our consumers and the merchants we work with. Laws and regulations in the United States restrict how personal information is collected, processed, stored, transferred. used and disclosed, as well as set standards for its security, implement notice requirements regarding privacy practices, and provide individuals with certain rights regarding the use, disclosure and sale of their protected personal information. For example, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and many state attorneys general are interpreting federal and state consumer protection laws to impose standards for the online collection, use, dissemination, and security of data. Such standards require us to publish statements that describe how we handle personal data and choices individuals may have about the way we handle their personal data. If such information that we publish is considered untrue or inaccurate, we may be subject to government claims of unfair or deceptive trade practices, which could lead to significant liabilities and consequences. Moreover, according to the FTC, violating consumers’ privacy rights or failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers’ personal data secure may constitute unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the FTC Act. State consumer protection laws provide similar causes of action for unfair or deceptive practices. Some states, such as California and Massachusetts, have passed specific laws mandating reasonable security measures for the handling of consumer data. Further, privacy advocates and industry groups have regularly proposed and sometimes approved, and may propose and approve in the future, self-regulatory standards with which we must legally comply or that contractually apply to us.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) regulates, among other things, the use of non-public personal information of consumers that is held by financial institutions. We are subject to various GLBA provisions, including rules relating to the use or disclosure of the underlying data and rules relating to the physical, administrative and technological protection of non-public personal financial information. Breach of the GLBA can result in civil and/or criminal liability and sanctions by regulatory authorities.


47

Several foreign jurisdictions, including the EU and the United Kingdom, have laws and regulations which are more restrictive in certain respects than those in the United States. We are also subject to data privacy and security laws in foreign jurisdictions which have laws and regulations which are more restrictive in certain respects than the United States. For example, in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), we are subject to the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and in the United Kingdom, we are subject to the United Kingdom data protection regime consisting primarily of the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the UK Data Protection Act 2018, in each case in relation to our collection, control, processing, sharing, disclosure and other use of data relating to an identifiable living individual (personal data). The GDPR, and national implementing legislation in EEA member states, and the United Kingdom regime, impose a strict data protection compliance regime including: providing detailed disclosures about how personal data is collected and processed (in a concise, intelligible and easily accessible form); demonstrating that an appropriate legal basis is in place or otherwise exists to justify data processing activities; granting rights for data subjects in regard to their personal data (including data access rights, the right to be “forgotten” and the right to data portability); introducing the obligation to notify data protection regulators or supervisory authorities (and in certain cases, affected individuals) of significant data breaches; defining pseudonymized (i.e., key-coded) data; imposing limitations on retention of personal data; maintaining a record of data processing; and complying with the principal of accountability and the obligation to demonstrate compliance through policies, procedures, training and audit.

We are also subject to European Union and United Kingdom rules with respect to cross-border transfers of personal data out of the EEA and the United Kingdom, respectively. Recent legal developments in Europe have created complexity and uncertainty regarding transfers of personal data from the EEA and the United Kingdom to the United States. Most recently, on July 16, 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”) invalidated the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework (“Privacy Shield”) under which personal data could be transferred from the EEA to US entities who had self-certified under the Privacy Shield scheme.

While the CJEU upheld the adequacy of the standard contractual clauses (a standard form of contract approved by the European Commission as an adequate personal data transfer mechanism, and potential alternative to the Privacy Shield), it made clear that reliance on them alone may not necessarily be sufficient in all circumstances. Use of the standard contractual clauses must now be assessed on a case-by-case basis taking into account the legal regime applicable in the destination country, in particular applicable surveillance laws and rights of individuals and additional measures and/or contractual provisions may need to be put in place.

We have previously relied on our own Privacy Shield certification and our relevant customers’ and partners’ Privacy Shield certifications for the purposes of transferring personal data from the EEA to the U.S. in compliance with the GDPR’s data export conditions. These recent developments will require us to review and amend the legal mechanisms by which we make and/ or receive personal data transfers to/ in the U.S., including updating agreements to put in place standard contractual clauses. The developments also create uncertainty and increase the risk around our international operations. European court and regulatory decisions subsequent to the CJEU decision of July 16, 2020 have taken a restrictive approach to international data transfers. For example, the Austrian and the French data protection supervisory authorities, as well as the European Data Protection Supervisor, have recently ruled that use of Google Analytics by European website operators involves the unlawful transfer of personal data to the United States; a number of other EU supervisory authorities are expected to take a similar approach which may impact other business tools that we use. As the enforcement landscape further develops, and supervisory authorities issue further guidance on personal data export mechanisms, including circumstances where the standard contractual clauses cannot be used, we could suffer additional costs, complaints and/or regulatory investigations or fines, have to stop using certain tools and vendors and make other operational changes, and/or if we are otherwise unable to transfer personal data between and among countries and regions in which we operate, it could affect the manner in which we provide our services, the geographical location or segregation of our relevant systems and operations, and could adversely affect our financial results.

We are also subject to evolving EU and UK privacy laws on cookies, tracking technologies and e-marketing. In the EU and the UK under national laws derived from the ePrivacy Directive, informed consent is required for the placement of a cookie or similar technologies on a user’s device and for direct electronic marketing. The GDPR also imposes conditions on obtaining valid consent for cookies, such as a prohibition on pre-checked consents and a requirement to ensure separate consents are sought for each type of cookie or similar technology. The current national laws that implement the ePrivacy Directive are highly likely to be replaced across the EU (but not directly in the UK) by an EU regulation known as the ePrivacy Regulation which will significantly increase fines for non-compliance.


48

In the United States, both the federal and various state governments have adopted or are considering, laws, guidelines or rules for the collection, distribution, use and storage of information collected from or about consumers or their devices. For example, California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which became enforceable by the California Attorney General on July 1, 2020, and requires new disclosures to California consumers, imposes new rules for collecting or using information about minors, and affords consumers new abilities to opt out of certain disclosures of personal information. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that is expected to increase data breach litigation. The effects of the CCPA, its implementing regulations, and uncertainties about the scope and applicability of exemptions that may apply to our business, are potentially significant and may require us to modify our data collection or processing practices and policies and to incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply. Additionally, the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), recently passed in California. The CPRA significantly amends the CCPA, and imposes additional data protection obligations on covered companies doing business in California, including additional consumer rights processes and opt outs for certain uses of sensitive data. It also creates a new California data protection agency specifically tasked to enforce the law, which would likely result in increased regulatory scrutiny of California businesses in the areas of data protection and security. The substantive requirements for businesses subject to the CPRA will go into effect on January 1, 2023, and become enforceable on July 1, 2023. In addition, Virginia and Colorado have enacted the Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”) and the Colorado Data privacy Act (“CDPA”), respectively, which will go into effect in 2023 and will impose obligations similar to or more stringent than those we may face under other data protection laws.

Restrictions on the collection, use, sharing or disclosure of personal information or additional requirements and liability for security and data integrity could require us to modify our solutions and features, possibly in a material manner, could limit our ability to develop new services and features and could subject us to increased compliance obligations and regulatory scrutiny. Non-compliance with data protection and privacy requirements may result in regulatory fines (which for certain breaches of the GDPR (“UK GDPR”) are up to the greater of €20/£17.5 or 4% of total global annual turnover), regulatory investigations, reputational damage, orders to cease/change our processing of our data, enforcement notices, and/ or assessment notices (for a compulsory audit). We may also face civil claims including representative actions and other class action type litigation (where individuals have suffered harm), potentially amounting to significant compensation or damages liabilities, as well as associated costs, diversion of internal resources, and reputational harm.

Furthermore, our current and planned cryptocurrency offerings could subject us to additional regulations, licensing requirements, or other obligations. The rapidly evolving regulatory landscape with respect to cryptocurrency may subject us to inquiries or investigations from regulators and governmental authorities, require us to make product changes, restrict or discontinue product offerings, and implement additional and potentially costly controls. If we fail to comply with regulations, requirements, prohibitions or other obligations applicable to us, we could face regulatory or other enforcement actions and potential fines and other consequences.

In addition, financial and third party risks related to our cryptocurrency offerings, such as inappropriate access to or theft or destruction of cryptocurrency assets held by our custodian, insufficient insurance coverage by the custodian to reimburse us for all such losses, the custodian’s failure to maintain effective controls over the custody and settlement services provided to us, the custodian’s inability to purchase or liquidate cryptocurrency holdings, and defaults on financial or performance obligations by counterparty financial institutions, could materially and adversely affect our financial performance and significantly harm our business.

General Risk Factors

The ongoing military action between Russia and Ukraine could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On February 24, 2022, Russian military forces launched a military action in Ukraine, and sustained conflict and disruption in the region is likely. Although the length, impact and outcome of the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine is highly unpredictable, this conflict could lead to significant market and other disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices and supply of energy resources, instability in financial markets, supply chain interruptions, political and social instability, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences as well as increase in cyberattacks and espionage.


49

Russia’s recognition of two separatist republics in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine and subsequent military action against Ukraine have led to an unprecedented expansion of sanction programs imposed by the United States, the European Union, the UK, Canada, Switzerland, Japan and other countries against Russia, Belarus, the Crimea Region of Ukraine, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic and the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic, including, among others:
•    blocking sanctions against some of the largest state-owned and private Russian financial institutions (and their subsequent removal from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, or SWIFT, payment system) and certain Russian businesses, some of which have significant financial and trade ties to the European Union;
•    blocking sanctions against Russian and Belarusian individuals, including the Russian President, other politicians and those with government connections or involved in Russian military activities; and
•    blocking of Russia’s foreign currency reserves as well as expansion of sectoral sanctions and export and trade restrictions, limitations on investments and access to capital markets and bans on various Russian imports.

In retaliation against new international sanctions and as part of measures to stabilize and support the volatile Russian financial and currency markets, the Russian authorities also imposed significant currency control measures aimed at restricting the outflow of foreign currency and capital from Russia, imposed various restrictions on transacting with non-Russian parties, banned exports of various products and other economic and financial restrictions. The situation is rapidly evolving as a result of the conflict in Ukraine, and the United States, the European Union, the UK and other countries may implement additional sanctions, export controls or other measures against Russia, Belarus and other countries, regions, officials, individuals or industries in the respective territories. Such sanctions and other measures, as well as the existing and potential further responses from Russia or other countries to such sanctions, tensions and military actions, could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are actively monitoring the situation in Ukraine and assessing its impact on our business, including our business partners and customers. To date we have not experienced any material interruptions in our infrastructure, supplies, technology systems or networks needed to support our operations. We have no way to predict the progress or outcome of the conflict in Ukraine or its impacts in Ukraine, Russia or Belarus as the conflict, and any resulting government reactions, are evolving and beyond our control. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions could be significant and could potentially have substantial impact on the global economy and our business for an unknown period of time. Any of the above mentioned factors could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Any such disruptions may also magnify the impact of other risks described in our 2021 Form 10-K.

We are exposed to fluctuations in inflation, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The United States has recently experienced historically high levels of inflation. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the annual inflation rate for the United States was approximately 7.0% for 2021. If the inflation rate continues to increase, it will likely affect our expenses, including, but not limited to, employee compensation expenses, increased costs for supplies, In the event inflation continues to increase, we may seek to increase the sales prices of our products and services in order to maintain satisfactory margins. Any attempts to offset cost increases with price increases may result in reduced sales, increase customer dissatisfaction or otherwise harm our reputation. Moreover, to the extent inflation results in rising interest rates and has other adverse effects on the market, it may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2021,2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 20212022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
