CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the information incorporated herein by reference, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “anticipate,” “appear,” “approximate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “foresee,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “would” and other similar words and expressions (or the negative version of such words or expressions) may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of Payoneer’s management and are inherently subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstances and their potential effects and speak only as of the date of such statement. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (1) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (2) the possibility that Payoneer may be adversely affected by geopolitical and other economic, business and/or competitive factors; (3) Payoneer’s estimates of its financial performance; (4) the outcome of any known and/or unknown legal or regulatory proceedings; and (5) other factors, described under the heading “Risk Factors” discussed and identified in public filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Payoneer.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of the assumptions made by the management of Payoneer prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the matters addressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and attributable to Payoneer or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, Payoneer undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Current Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Table of Contents

PAYONEER GLOBAL INC.

NOTE 1 – GENERAL OVERVIEW

Unless otherwise noted herein, “we”, “us”, “our”, “Payoneer”, and the “Company” refer to Payoneer Global Inc.

Payoneer, incorporated in Delaware, empowers global commerce by connecting businesses, professionals, countries and currencies with its diversified cross-border payments platform. Payoneer enables small and medium-sized businesses (“SMB(s)”) around the globe to reach new audiences by reducing the complexity of cross-border trade, and facilitating seamless, cross-border payments. Payoneer offers its customers the flexibility to pay and get paid globally as easily as they do locally. The Company offers a suite of services that includes cross-border payments, physical and virtual Mastercard cards, working capital, risk management and other services. The fully-hosted service includes various payment options with minimal integration required, full back-office functions and customer support offered.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Principles of consolidation, basis of presentation and accounting principles:

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (hereafter – U.S. GAAP) and include the accounts of Payoneer Global Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in an entity where we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. For such investments, our share of the investee’s results of operations is shown within Share in gains and losses of associated company on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and our investment balance as an investment in associated company on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The consolidated interim financial information herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of Payoneer Global Inc. and its subsidiaries.

b. Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, allowance for capital advance receivables, income taxes, goodwill, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, and loss contingencies.

c. Investment in associated company:

In July 2019, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Payoneer Research and Development Ltd., entered into an agreement for the establishment of a joint venture company in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The objective of the joint venture was to apply for a local payment service provider license in accordance with PRC laws. The Company’s share in the Joint Venture was 46%, with the remaining ownership interest held by a local partner. Initial funds in the amount of $6,501 were contributed. The investment in the joint venture was presented as an investment in associated company in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as the Company did not have control over the joint venture.

In January 2023, the Company, through Payoneer Research and Development Ltd., acquired all remaining interests from other partners in the joint venture. As part of the agreement, the acquiring company assumed responsibility for all expenses and income incurred or earned through the date of acquisition related to the joint venture.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

As substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets of the joint venture are concentrated in a group of similar assets (cash and cash equivalents and restricted deposits), the Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition. As such, the Company’s basis in the acquired assets is valued at the amount of consideration transferred, as shown below.


Consideration paid
Cash¹	$7,961
Foreign exchange loss on payment¹	(100)
Investment in associated company	6,429
Total	$14,290

Assets acquired
Cash and cash equivalents	$6,957
Short-term restricted deposits	6,957
Prepaid assets	24
Tax receivable	59
Intangible assets	293
Total	$14,290

Net cash inflow related to acquisition
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted deposits acquired	$13,914
Cash paid	(7,961)
Net cash inflow	$5,953

________________________________________

(1)

The underlying assets of the joint venture were previously valued in CNY. Due to a timing difference of payment date and acquisition agreement settlement date, $100 of foreign exchange loss was recognized at the time of payment through other financial income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The Company acquired $59 in tax receivables which we do not expect to utilize. As such, these receivables were written-off subsequent to acquisition through general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The Company also acquired $293 in intangible assets which were determined to have no use to the Company post-acquisition. As such, these assets were completely impaired through depreciation and amortization expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

d. Functional currency and translation:

Prior to January 1, 2023, the Company had a foreign subsidiary that used the local currency of the respective country as its functional currency. As of January 1, 2023, this subsidiary has changed its functional currency to be that of the Company, the U.S. dollar, due to a shift in the subsidiary’s primary revenue streams, which are now substantially all from services provided to the Company.

e. Treasury stock:

The Company accounts for repurchases of shares of its common stock as of the trade date, and includes in treasury stock the repurchase price plus any costs associated with the transaction.

When and if treasury stock is reissued, the Company applies the average cost method to determine the value of the reissued shares, and to the extent that we remain in an accumulated deficit position, recognizes any related gain or loss in additional paid-in capital. When and if the Company’s accumulated deficit becomes a retained earnings balance, we will credit gains on reissuances to additional paid-in capital and offset losses against historical gains. Losses in excess of historical gains will be recognized against retained earnings.

Treasury stock is included in authorized and issued shares but excluded from outstanding shares.

f. Recently issued accounting pronouncements:

FASB Standards issued, but not adopted as of June 30, 2023

In 2020, the FASB issued amended guidance that provides transitional relief for the accounting impact of reference rate reform. For a limited duration, this guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to certain contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that will be impacted by a reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The amended guidance is effective through December 31, 2024. The Company does not expect reference rate reform to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 8 – DEBT

On October 28, 2021, Payoneer Early Payments Inc. (“PEPI”), a wholly-owned second tier subsidiary of the Company and its subsidiary (the “Borrower”) entered into a Receivables and Loan Security Agreement (the “Warehouse Facility”) with Viola Credit VI, L.P., Viola Credit Alternative Lending FNX SPV, L.P. (the “Lenders”) and Viola Credit Alternative Lending Management 2018 L.P. (collectively, the “Parties”) for the purpose of external financing of Capital Advance activity. The Company notes that the Lenders are related parties through the Company’s Board of Directors’ chairman’s ownership interest in the Lenders. Refer to Note 17 for further information regarding related party considerations.

In accordance with the Warehouse Facility agreement, the Lenders will make available to the Company an initial committed amount of $25,000, which may be increased at the request of the Company, and with the consent of the Lenders, in $25,000 increments up to $100,000. The associated borrowings will be secured by the assets of the Borrower, which consist primarily of capital advance receivables as well as a pledge of the equity of the Borrower. The recourse under the Warehouse Facility agreement is limited to Borrower's assets, and no other Payoneer entity guarantees repayment by the Borrower.

Table of Contents

PAYONEER GLOBAL INC.

NOTE 8 – DEBT (continued):

The Warehouse Facility agreement stipulates a borrowing base calculated at an advance rate of 80% out of the eligible portfolio outstanding receivables balance and that borrowings under the facility bear interest as follows: greater of 0.25% or LIBOR plus:

●

9.00% per annum if the commitment amount is $25,000;

●

7.75% per annum if the commitment amount is $50,000;

●

7.50% per annum if the commitment amount is $75,000;

●

7.00% per annum if the commitment amount is $100,000.

On June 8, 2022, the Warehouse Facility agreement was amended to create a condition that the total interest rate, calculated as the sum per above, shall not exceed 10.5% per annum for all outstanding balances.

The revolving period of the facility is 36 months from the closing date and the maturity date is 42 months from the date the Warehouse Facility agreement was entered into.

The Company recorded expenses, included in transaction cost, in the total amount of $436 and $338 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $857 and $658 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the outstanding associated balance was $15,639 with $142 of accrued expenses included in Other payables. As of December 31, 2022, the outstanding associated balance was $16,138 with $153 of accrued expenses included in Other payables.

The Warehouse Facility agreement includes certain affirmative and negative covenants that must be maintained by the Company and includes certain financial measures such as minimum tangible equity and minimum unrestricted cash at the Company level. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the debt approximates the book value due to the short time span between initiation and balance sheet date with the outstanding balance classified as Level 3 in the fair value leveling hierarchy as the inputs into the valuation are not observable.

NOTE 10 – WARRANTS AND SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Share Repurchase Program and Treasury Stock

On May 7, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program that provides for the repurchase of up to $80,000 of our common stock over a period of 24 months. The program is intended to offset the impact of dilution from the issuance of new shares as part of employee compensation programs.

Any share repurchases under this stock repurchase program may be made through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or other means including in accordance with Rule 10b-18 and/or Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The timing and total amount of repurchases is subject to business and market conditions and the Company’s discretion.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased approximately 4,201,025 shares of our common stock for approximately $19,725 at a weighted average cost of $4.68 per share. As of June 30, 2023, a total of approximately $60,275 remained available for future repurchases of our common stock under the program.

NOTE 10 – WARRANTS AND SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued):

Warrants

The Company has publicly traded warrants that are exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock. Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares at an exercise price of $11.50. These warrants expire on June 25, 2026, or earlier, if redeemed. At June 30, 2023, there were 25,158,086 warrants outstanding with a corresponding liability valued at $12,580. The warrants are considered to be a Level 1 fair value measurement due to the observability of the inputs.

The warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, and are presented within warrant liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The following table presents the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities (Level 1):


	Warrant

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company’s business is subject to various laws and regulations in the United States and other countries from where the Company operates. Any regulatory action, tax or legal challenge against the Company for noncompliance with any regulatory or legal requirement could result in significant fines, penalties, or other enforcement actions, increased costs of doing business through adverse judgment or settlement, reputational harm, the diversion of significant amounts of management time and operational resources, and could require changes in compliance requirements or limits on the Company’s ability to expand its product offerings, or otherwise harm or have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

On September 28, 2021, the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) and the Bank of Mexico revoked the banking license of a banking entity utilized by the Company due to the banking entity not meeting applicable capital requirements. As a result, the Company is unable to withdraw funds from the banking entity. The Company has reserved $2,250 for potential losses related to the inaccessible funds above the recovered amount. The Company applied for and recovered the maximum statutory reimbursement through the deposit insurance provided by Mexican Institute for the Protection of Banking Services (IPAB), totaling $140. The Company has filed a claim in liquidation for the remaining funds; however, the percentage of the deposit that will be recovered in liquidation is not known at this time.

From time to time, the Company is involved in other disputes or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business. These may include suits by its customers alleging, among other things, acting unfairly and/or not in conformity regarding pricing, rules or agreements, improper disclosure of our prices, rules, or policies or that our practices, prices, rules, policies, or customer agreements violate applicable law.

In addition to these types of disputes and regulatory inquiries, the operations of the Company are also subject to regulatory and/or legal review and/or challenges that tend to reflect the increasing global regulatory focus to which the industry in which the Company operates is subject and, when taken as a whole with other regulatory and legislative action, such actions could result in the imposition of costly new compliance burdens on the Company and may lead to increased costs and decreased transaction volume and revenue. Any claims or regulatory actions against the Company, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, settlement payments, damage awards (including statutory damages for certain causes of action in certain jurisdictions), fines, penalties, injunctive relief, or increased costs of doing business through adverse judgment or settlement, require the Company to change our business practices, require significant amounts of management time, result in the diversion of operational resources, or otherwise harm the business.

Note that $878 and $271 in stock-based compensation awards were capitalized as part of internal-use software during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $1,740 and $488 were capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES

The Company had an effective tax rate of 22% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to an effective tax rate of 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% was the result of foreign income taxed at different rates, including the provision for uncertain tax positions, as well as an increase in potential future tax benefits primarily related to share-based compensation and capitalized research and development, and the release of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in the United States.

The Company maintains a valuation allowance in jurisdictions where it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, the Company evaluates factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings and the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences. During the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a release of $10,553 in respect of the valuation allowance applied on deferred tax assets recorded in the United States.

We maintain a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in Germany, and maintain our previous conclusion that a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in Israel is not necessary.

NOTE 16 – NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company’s basic net earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. The diluted net earnings per share is calculated by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period using the treasury share method or the if-converted method based on the nature of such securities. Diluted net earnings per share is the same as basic net earnings per share in periods when the effects of potentially dilutive shares of common shares are anti-dilutive.

Basic and diluted net earnings per share attributable to common stockholders were calculated as follows:

Note that 25,158,125 Public Warrants, 1,500,000 RSUs with market conditions, 30,000,000 Earn-Out Shares (as that term is defined in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated February 3, 2021 (as amended) with FTAC Olympus Acquisition Corp.), 726,620 options to purchase common stock, and ESPP shares to be issued under the May 15, 2023 offering period have been excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 as their effect was antidilutive, conditions were not met or they were not in the money as of the end of the reporting period. In the three months ended June 30, 2022, 25,158,125 Public Warrants and 30,000,000 Earn-Out Shares were excluded for the same reason.

NOTE 17 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As indicated in Note 8, the Company entered into a Warehouse Facility agreement with Lenders where a member of the Board of Directors has an interest. The Company has evaluated the relationship and determined that the Warehouse Facility agreement represents a related party transaction that has been entered into in the ordinary course of business. As such, the Warehouse Facility agreement was reviewed and approved as a related party transaction in accordance with the related party transaction approval process implemented by the Company.

The Company analyzed the terms of the Warehouse Facility agreement and concluded that the terms represent a transaction conducted at arm’s length.

NOTE 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 10, 2023, the Company announced a plan to reduce its workforce by approximately 9% of the Company’s current total headcount (the “Plan”). The Company expects that the implementation of the Plan will be substantially completed by the end of the third quarter of 2023. The Plan is expected to enhance productivity and efficiency and streamline the Company’s organizational structure to better align operations with its growth objectives. The Company intends to reinvest some savings from the Plan into future growth initiatives, and to continue hiring for roles essential to those initiatives in areas such as research and development. Decisions regarding the elimination of positions are subject to local law in the various jurisdictions in which the Company employs its teams.

The Company estimates that it will incur charges of approximately $5 million in connection with the Plan, which are expected to be incurred in the third quarter of 2023. These expected costs are primarily related to cash expenditures for severance payments and payroll taxes.

On August 2, 2023, Payoneer Inc. and Payoneer Research & Development Ltd., wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, purchased certain assets and Intellectual Property (IP) of Spott Incredibles Technologies Ltd. (“Spott”) for a total consideration of $3.6 million as well as $0.4 million of future payments contingent on Spott’s former employees continued employment with Payoneer Research & Development Ltd. Spott’s IP provides real-time e-commerce data and analytics for more informed and faster business decision-making.

In addition, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company has an indirect interest within Spott and serves on its board. The Company evaluated the relationship and determined that the acquisition represents a related party transaction that has been entered into in the ordinary course of business. As such, the acquisition was reviewed and approved in accordance with the Company’s related party transaction approval process, and it was concluded that the terms represent a transaction conducted at arm’s length.

On August 7, 2023, Payoneer (Guangzhou) Commerce Services Co., Ltd. (“Payoneer Guangzhou”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with a non-bank payments institution, (the “Licenseholder”) that offers pay-out and mobile payments solutions to merchants in the People’s Republic of China and holds a Payment Business License issued by the People’s Bank of China (the “License” and the “PBoC”, respectively).

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Payoneer Guangzhou seeks to purchase the Licenseholder, and agreed to place approximately $4 million in escrow within 10 business days of signing the agreement, such escrow representing a small portion of the agreed upon consideration for the purchase. In the event of termination of the agreement, such escrow amount will be returned to Payoneer Guangzhou, and in the event of a successful transaction, it will be applied to the full purchase price. The closing of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and termination provisions provided for in the agreement, as well as, governmental registrations and approvals, including the approval of the Transaction by the PBoC, and timing is uncertain.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Throughout this section, unless otherwise noted, “we”, “us”, “our”, “Payoneer”, and the “Company” refer to Payoneer Global Inc.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the sections titled “Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of forward-looking statements and important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Overview

Payoneer democratizes access to financial services, empowering the world’s small and medium sized businesses to transact, do business and grow globally. With a single connection to Payoneer’s global payment and commerce-enabling platform, our customers can manage their global financial operations and transact globally as easily as they do locally, allowing them to participate in the digital economy and enabling growth for enterprises, marketplaces and SMBs worldwide.

Payoneer was founded in 2005 as technology and the internet were transforming commerce and making it possible for anyone, anywhere to build and grow a digital business. From the beginning, we recognized the importance of offering services to both sides of two-sided commerce networks: small and medium businesses who would need help navigating the increasingly complex digital economy, and marketplaces who would need help supporting their increasingly distributed seller-base. Over the past 18 years, we have built a one-of-a-kind platform designed to serve the needs of digital businesses globally, with a focus on emerging markets.

At the core of the Payoneer platform is a robust, secured, regulated global payment infrastructure that simplifies the process for any business to pay and get paid globally as easily as it does locally. On top of this core, we continue to develop a comprehensive suite of products and services, providing sophisticated tools to help our customers grow.

Leveraging the strength of our payment infrastructure and the breadth of our product offerings, Payoneer operates as both a provider of services to enterprises and marketplaces as well as a B2B payment services provider, empowering all of our customers to transact internationally with ease. As a result, we have cultivated a meaningful brand in the global digital commerce ecosystem supporting millions of marketplaces, enterprises, and SMBs across more than 190 countries and territories and 7,000+ unique trade corridors.

We primarily generate revenues when Payoneer customers use the funds in their Payoneer account to make a payment, make a purchase or to withdraw the funds locally. Our revenue growth is based on (i) growing the volume of transactions processed through the Payoneer platform; and (ii) increasing the monetization rates of Payoneer services. Our efforts to increase the overall monetization rate of Payoneer services includes increasing our focus on acquiring customers in regions with higher rates of monetization, accelerating the growth of payment services with higher rates of monetization like B2B AP/AR, and also introducing new services for customers that generate improved monetization, like our Payoneer Commercial Mastercard. Volume is one of the primary drivers for our revenue growth. See “Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.

Our customers have trusted the Payoneer platform to process $15.8 billion and $14.6 billion in volume during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $31.5 billion and $29.3 billion in volume during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Looking forward, we intend to continue to invest actively to enhance our global platform, deliver new products, extend our regulatory footprint, further automate our operations, increase new customer growth and make more acquisitions to accelerate our ability to deliver more value to customers around the world.

Key Developments and Trends

Impact of the war in Ukraine

During 2022, a geopolitical and armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which developed into an ongoing war, resulted in economic sanctions on Russia, Belarus, and certain territories in Ukraine. Payoneer provides services to customers in Ukraine and in jurisdictions that are or may be impacted by these economic sanctions. We have developed and implemented a robust transaction monitoring program designed to comply with imposed sanctions and to monitor the impact the conflict may have on our results of operations. During 2022, we ceased to provide services to customers in Russia and have been reducing our payment services to Belarus customers, while at the same time revenues in Ukraine have remained relatively stable. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Ukraine and Belarus, combined, accounted for less than 10% of our revenue, of which Belarus accounted for less than 1% of our revenue. Further escalation of the conflict may have a material effect on our results of operations.

Macroeconomic Conditions

Macroeconomic conditions, such as rising interest rates, inflation, the continued impact of COVID-19, the ongoing war in Ukraine, and disruptions in the banking sector, may affect our results of operations. For example, during 2022, and in response to rising inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised the benchmark interest rate by 425 basis points, with an additional 100 basis point increase so far in 2023. This contributed to an increase in interest income earned on our customer balances. U.S. and global inflation rates have remained elevated and the Federal Reserve, as well as other central banks, have continued to raise interest rates. Higher interest rates positively impact our interest income revenues associated with underlying customer accounts. However, a prolonged period of high interest rates is likely to slow economic growth, and business and consumer spend globally which may negatively impact the volumes processed on our platform. There remains a great deal of uncertainty related to the ongoing trajectory of U.S. interest rate policy, the likely impact of monetary tightening globally and the degree to which the global economy could be impacted. In addition, while we have commercial arrangements with multiple banks globally, we have not been materially affected by the recent volatility and uncertainty in the banking sector.

Repurchase Program

On May 7, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program that provides for the repurchase of up to $80 million of our common stock over a period of 24 months. Any share repurchases under this stock repurchase program may be made through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or other means including in accordance with Rule 10b-18 and/or Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The timing and total amount of repurchases is subject to business and market conditions and the Company’s discretion.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased approximately 4,201,025 shares of our common stock for approximately $19.7 million at a weighted average cost of $4.68 per share. As of June 30, 2023, a total of approximately $60.3 million remained available for future repurchases of our common stock under the program.

Workforce Reduction Plan

Additionally, the Company expects an annualized future benefit to its operating expenses of approximately $20 million in connection with the Plan.

Revenues

Revenues were $206.7 million and $398.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $58.5 million and $113.6 million, or 40% in both periods, compared to the prior-year period, driven mainly by an increase of $51.8 million in interest income resulting from an increase in customer balances held on our platform as well as rising interest rates. The remaining increase was driven by a combination of growth in the number of customers on our platform, growth in several high value regions, and continued adoption of our high value services.

Transaction costs

Transaction costs were $28.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $2.3 million, or 9%, compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to an increase in capital advance costs of $1.7 million driven by an increase in losses recognized. Excluding this driver, transaction costs increased by $0.6 million or 2%, while volume increased by 8% as compared to the prior-year period. Transaction costs grew at a lower rate than volume due to improved commercial terms, internal platform optimizations, and cost structure benefits from increased transaction volumes.

Transaction costs were $55.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $3.8 million, or 7%, compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to an increase of $1.9 million in capital advance costs, $1.1 million in bank and processor fees, and $1.1 million in network fees.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses were $40.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $5.1 million, or 15%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by an increase of $3.6 million in third-party contract and consulting expenses, $2.2 million in employee compensation, benefits and other employee-related expenses, mainly as a result of an increase in employee headcount, and an increase of $1.5 million in information technology expenses.

Table of Contents

PAYONEER GLOBAL INC.

Other operating expenses were $80.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $10.5 million, or 15%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by an increase of $6.9 million in third-party contract and consulting expenses, $2.6 million in employee compensation, benefits and other employee-related expenses, mainly as a result of an increase in employee headcount, and an increase of $2.6 million in information technology expenses.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses were $28.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.4 million, or 5%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by an increase of $0.9 million in information technology expenses and $0.6 million in employee compensation, benefits and other employee-related expenses, mainly as a result of an increase in employee headcount in our research and development groups, which was partially offset by an increase in capitalization due to shifting of resources towards new investments in our platform.

Research and development expenses were $57.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $4.8 million, or 9%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by an increase of $2.8 million in employee compensation, benefits and other employee-related expenses, mainly as a result of an increase in employee headcount in our research and development groups, which was partially offset by an increase in capitalization due to shifting of resources towards new investments in our platform. Additional increases include $1.3 million in information technology expenses and $0.6 million in third-party contractor expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses were $48.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $11.6 million, or 31%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by an increase of $4.6 million in third-party commissions, $3.7 million in employee compensation, benefits and other employee-related expenses, mainly as a result of an increase in employee headcount in our sales and marketing groups, an increase of $1.3 million in third-party contractor expenses, and increased spend of $1.6 million on marketing programs.

Sales and marketing expenses were $96.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $24.9 million, or 35%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by an increase of $10.6 million in employee compensation, benefits and other employee-related expenses, mainly as a result of an increase in employee headcount in our sales and marketing groups, an increase of $9.0 million in third-party commissions, increased spend of $2.6 million on marketing programs, and an increase of $2.5 million in third-party contractor and consultant expenses.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $22.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.8 million, or 9%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by an increase of $2.1 million in employee compensation, benefits and other employee-related expenses, mainly as a result of an increase in employee headcount.

General and administrative expenses were $48.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $10.4 million, or 27%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by an increase of $7 million in employee compensation, benefits and other employee-related expenses, mainly as a result of an increase in employee headcount, and an increase of $1.5 million in taxes and fees.

Depreciation and amortization expenses

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $5.9 million and $11.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $0.7 million and $2.3 million, or 14% and 24%, respectively, compared to the prior-year period, driven by an increase in amortization of internal use of software.

Financial income and expense, net

Financial income, net was $17.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $9.9 million, or 124%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by an increase of $5.3 million from revaluation of foreign currency balances, an increase of $3.8 million in interest income on corporate cash balances and a $0.8 million higher gain related to the change in fair value of warrants.

Table of Contents

PAYONEER GLOBAL INC.

Financial income, net was $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $16.5 million, or 45%, compared to the prior-year period, which benefitted from a gain related to the change in fair value of warrants that was $30.7 million higher than in the current period. This was partially offset by an increase of $7.6 million in interest income on corporate cash balances and an increase of $6.1 million from revaluation of foreign currency balances.

Income tax

Income tax expense was $5.7 million and $14.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $4.4 million and $11.6 million, or 318% and 347%, respectively, compared to the prior-year period, driven by an increase in the Company’s US federal and state income tax liabilities of $14.8 million and $19.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. These increases were primarily driven by increased profitability in the US, including non-deductible permanent and temporary differences. Taxes associated with our foreign subsidiaries of $0.2 million and $2.7 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, resulted in an additional increase to current period tax expense. These increases were offset by a deferred tax benefit from the release of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in the United States of $10.6 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following discussion of our liquidity and capital resources is based on the financial information derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our operating working capital, share repurchase and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. Our future financing requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development of our platform and the ongoing expansion needs of sales and marketing activities. We have in the past and may in the future enter into agreements with third parties with respect to investments in, or acquisitions of, businesses or technologies, which could also require us to seek additional equity or debt financing.

Sources of Liquidity

As of June 30, 2023, we had $581.1 million of cash and cash equivalents.

On October 28, 2021, Payoneer Early Payments Inc. (“PEPI”), a wholly-owned second tier subsidiary of the Company and its subsidiary (the “Borrower”) entered into a multi-party Receivables Loan and Security Agreement (the “Warehouse Facility”) with, inter alia, affiliates of Viola Ventures. The objective was to provide access to external financing for our capital advance activity. See Note 8 and Note 17 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

The Warehouse Facility bears interest at the greater of 0.25% or LIBOR, plus 9% annually and has a revolving maturity of 36 months from the commencement date with a payback period of an additional 6 months after the revolving maturity date. The initial borrowing commitment is $25 million but can be increased subject to the lender’s discretion up to $100 million. Additional commitments will carry interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 7.75%. In addition, pursuant to the Warehouse Facility, PEPI entered into an amendment on June 8, 2022, capping the total interest rate at 10.5% per annum for all outstanding balances.

As of June 30, 2023, the LIBOR rate has ceased to be provided by the ICE Benchmark Administration. As such, beginning July 1, 2023, the sum of the Daily Simple SOFR and 0.26161% will be used as an alternative benchmark pursuant to the terms of the Warehouse Facility.

The Warehouse Facility is secured by eligible capital advance receivables at an initial rate of 80% of the total value of the underlying capital advance receivable outstanding. We are subject to financial covenants including minimum tangible equity, solvency and unrestricted cash requirements that are assessed based on our consolidated financial statements.

Current and Future Cash Requirements

On May 7, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program that provides for the repurchase of up to $80 million of our common stock over a period of 24 months. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased approximately 4,201,025 shares of our common stock for approximately $19.7 million, of which $2.6 million was not yet paid in cash at period end. As of June 30, 2023, a total of approximately $60.3 million remained available for future repurchases of our common stock under the program.

Cash Flows

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

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $59.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $31.0 million compared to $28.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had $53.5 million of net income, which includes non-cash expenses of $33.1 million related to stock-based compensation and $11.9 million related to depreciation and amortization, as well as non-cash gains of $13.3 million related to change in fair value of warrants and non-cash deferred tax benefit of $9.8 million, primarily related to the release of our valuation allowance in the United States. Net income was also adjusted for changes in current assets and liabilities, including outflows of $13.2 million related to trade payables, $5.3 million related to other payables, and $3.1 million related to capital advances. These outflows were offset by inflows of $5.1 million related to operating lease right-of-use assets and $1.0 million related to miscellaneous items.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had $24.6 million of net income, which includes non-cash expenses of $25.3 million related to stock-based compensation and $9.6 million related to depreciation and amortization, and non-cash gains of $44.0 million related to change in fair value of warrants. Net income was also adjusted for changes in current assets and liabilities, including net inflows of $12.6 million related to capital advances and $9.5 million related to trade payables. Other miscellaneous net outflows amounted to $8.7 million for the period.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $63.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a change of $28.9 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $34.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

This change was predominantly related to an increase of $32.0 million in the balance of customer funds in transit in the current year compared to the previous year, partially offset by a cash inflow of $6.0 million related to our acquisition of the remaining interest in a joint venture, as described in Note 2(c) to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $315.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a change of $1,067.2 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $751.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Current period cash used in financing activities primarily reflects a decline in customer balances, while cash provided by financing activities in the prior period reflects an increase in customer balances. Additionally, approximately $17.1 million was used in the current period to finance our share repurchase program which began during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to evaluate our business, analyze our performance, and make strategic decisions. We believe these metrics and non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as management. However, these measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as substitutes for financial measures that have been calculated in accordance with GAAP. We primarily review the following key performance indicators and non-GAAP measures when assessing our performance:

Volume

Volume refers to the total dollar value of transactions successfully completed or enabled by our platform, not including orchestration transactions. For a customer that both receives and later sends payments, we count the volume only once, with certain limited exceptions where both received and sent payments are counted. Volume serves as a key metric for overall business activity, as growing volume is one of the primary drivers for our revenue growth.


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022

	(in millions)
Volume	$	15,788	$	14,635	$	31,524	$	29,255

Volume grew 8% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, driven by a combination of continued customer acquisition, a rebound in travel spending, and growth in some of our large digital commerce marketplaces.

Revenue

We generate revenues mainly from transaction fees, which vary based on the type of service the customer utilizes. Transaction fee revenue principally consists of fees for withdrawals and usage. In addition, the Company generates revenue from non-volume-based products and services which are based on a fixed fee. We believe that Revenue demonstrates our ability to monetize volume activity on our platform. Our revenues can be impacted by the following:

(i)

Mix in customer size, products, and services;

(ii)

Mix between domestic and cross-border transactions;

(iii)

Geographic region or country in which a transaction occurs; and

(iv)

Pricing and other market conditions including interest rates.

Management closely monitors volume and revenue to ensure that we continue to grow funds and business activity into the platform, expanding our overall scale and the reach of our business.

Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe Adjusted EBITDA, as a non-GAAP measure, is useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to our investors as it is a metric used by management in assessing our operating performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measure as a tool for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for our non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measure and the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

⁽²⁾Amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 relate to M&A-related third-party fees, including related legal, consulting and other expenditures. Amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 relate to a non-recurring fair value adjustment of a liability related to our 2020 acquisition of optile.

⁽³⁾ Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as gain or loss on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The impact is removed from EBITDA as it represents market conditions that are not in control of the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. As described in Note 15 to our financial statements included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company released its valuation allowance of its US operations in the three months ended June 30, 2023. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate such estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below.

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

With the exception of the updates previously described, there have been no updates to our critical accounting policies and estimates in the six months ended June 30, 2023. For more information, see “Payoneer Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We have operations both within the United States and globally, and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including the effects of interest rate changes and foreign currency fluctuations. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is described below.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Our cash and cash equivalents as well as customer funds as of June 30, 2023, were held in cash deposits and money market funds. The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents as well as customer funds would not be significantly affected by either an increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of a majority of these instruments. However, a hypothetical 1% increase or decrease in interest rates could have a material effect on our revenues and earnings.

Table of Contents

PAYONEER GLOBAL INC.

Any future borrowings incurred under our Warehouse Facility would accrue interest at a floating rate based on a formula tied to certain market rates at the time of incurrence (as described above), not to exceed 10.5% per annum for all outstanding balances.

Foreign Currency Risk

While most of our revenue is earned in U.S. dollars, our foreign currency exposure includes currencies of the countries in which our operations are located as well as currencies in which our customer funds are held and may be subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen, Vietnamese Dong, Chinese Yuan, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, New Zealand Dollar, Thai Baht, New Israeli Shekel, United Arab Emirates Dirham, Indian Rupee, Bangladeshi Taka, Indonesian Rupiah, Mexican Peso, Pakistani Rupee, Singapore Dollar and Hong Kong Dollar. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in current exchange rates could have a material impact on our financial results.

In addition, some of our services include the opportunity for Payoneer to generate revenues from foreign exchange transactions as part of the payment delivery process. Our ability to generate such revenues is partially dependent on external factors such as market conditions, applicable regulations and our ability to negotiate with third party financial institutions. The impact of these efforts to optimize foreign exchange can be material to revenues and earnings.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

*Intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c)

**Not intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c)

(1) Under this trading arrangement, common stock will be sold in amounts which represent the net amount of shares remaining following a withholding of shares to cover tax obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock units on various dates throughout the plan. The number of net shares to be sold to accomplish this purpose cannot be reliably determined at this time, as it will depend upon the share price on the vest date.

(2) Under this trading arrangement, 62,500 shares of common stock will be sold. In addition, common stock will be sold in amounts which represent varying rates of the net amount of shares remaining following a withholding of shares to cover tax obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock units on various dates throughout the plan. The number of net shares to be sold to accomplish this purpose cannot be reliably determined at this time, as it will depend upon the share price on the vest date.

On May 23, 2023, we started to withhold common stock shares associated with net share settlements to cover tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock units under our employee equity incentive plans in the United States. The above-described mechanism was mandated by the Company and replaced the mechanism which applied previously to such employees (including Scott Galit, Tsafi Goldman and Itai Perry), where shares were sold to cover the employee’s tax obligation arising from settlement of vested restricted stock units.
