  • If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan and operate our business, are incorrect or change, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our results of operations could differ materially from our expectations and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.
  • Our historical growth rates may not be sustainable or indicative of future growth.
  • Our revenue has grown at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2022 to 2025, and reached $588.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, up from $562.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which represents revenue growth of 4.8% from 2024 to 2025.
  • Our net income from continuing operations was $18.2 million and a net loss from continuing operations of $15.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
  • Our operating expenses may increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we continue to invest to grow our business and build relationships I-12 with or clients and partners, develop new solutions and comply with requirements of being a public company.
  • Factors that may affect our operating results and the ability to predict our future results and trajectory include: • our ability to increase sales to existing customers and to renew agreements with our existing customers at comparable prices; • our ability to attract new customers with greater needs for our services; • changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors, or pricing pressure on our software and related services; • periodic fluctuations in demand for our software and services and volatility in the sales of our solutions and services; • the success or failure of our acquisition or divestiture strategy; • our ability to timely develop and implement new solutions and services, as well as improve and enhance existing solutions and services, in a manner that meets customer requirements; • our ability to hire, train and retain key personnel; • any significant changes in the competitive dynamics of our market, including new entrants or substantial discounting of products or services; • our ability to control costs, including our operating expenses; • any significant change in our facilities-related costs; • the timing of hiring personnel and of large expenses such as those for third-party professional services; • technological developments, including new uses for generative AI; • general economic conditions; • our ability to appropriately resolve any disputes relating to our intellectual property; and • the impact of a recession, pandemic or any other adverse global economic conditions on our business.
  • Our net cash provided by operating activities was $111.5 million in 2025 and $113.2 million in 2024.
  • We had cash and cash equivalents of $129.7 million and no restricted cash as of December 31, 2025.
  • Our future capital requirements may be significantly different from our current estimates and will depend on many factors, including the need to: • finance unanticipated working capital requirements; • acquire complementary businesses, technologies, solutions or services; I-13 • develop or enhance our technological infrastructure and our existing solutions and services; • fund strategic relationships, including joint ventures and co-investments; • respond to competitive pressures; and • manage costs associated with any adverse market conditions or other macroeconomic factors.
  • Further, we maintain the majority of our cash and cash equivalents in accounts with major U.S. and multi-national financial institutions, and our deposits at certain of these institutions exceed insured limits.
  • We may not be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition or partnership candidates in the future, and if we do, they may not provide us with the benefits we anticipated.
  • Horizontal competitors include Salesforce for CRM, Intuit for financial products, and Square for payments.
  • I-14 We may also potentially face competition from our current partners.
  • These projects carry risks, such as cost overruns, delays in delivery, performance problems and lack of acceptance by our clients, which could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
  • Pursuant to these agreements with payment processors, we are registered with the card networks as an independent sales organization (“ISO”) of our I-15 sponsor bank(s) or as a payment facilitator(s), and are subject to the requirements of our bank sponsors, payment processors, as well as the card network rules and certain other obligations.
  • We are also subject to the operating rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”), a self-regulatory organization which administers and facilitates private-sector operating rules for ACH payments and defines the roles and responsibilities of financial institutions and other ACH network participants.
  • Payment-related transactions comprised approximately 20% of our revenue in 2025.
  • I-16 The solutions and services we deliver are designed to process complex transactions and provide reports and other information on those transactions, all at very high volumes and processing speeds.
  • We and our third-party providers are exposed to cybersecurity risks and incidents which may result in damage to our brand and reputation, material financial penalties, and legal liability, which could in turn materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
  • We rely on computer systems, hardware, software, technology infrastructure and online sites and networks for both internal and external operations that are critical to our business (collectively, “IT Systems”).
  • We own and manage some of these IT Systems but also rely on third parties for a range of IT Systems and related products and services.
  • We and certain of our third-party providers collect, maintain and process data about customers, employees, business partners and others, including information about individuals such as payment card information, as well as proprietary information belonging to our business such as trade secrets (collectively, “Confidential Information”).
  • Our IT Systems, Confidential Information, products and services have been and will continue to be targets of cyber-attacks aimed at sabotage, disruption and/or compromise.
  • Threats come from diverse sources, including criminal hackers, hacktivists, state-sponsored groups, industrial espionage actors and insiders.
  • These actors leverage numerous tactics, such as cyber-extortion, ransomware, social engineering (e.g., phishing), the introduction of computer viruses or other malware and even the physical intrusion and/or destruction of IT and infrastructure assets.
  • The techniques used to gain unauthorized, improper, or illegal access to systems and information (including personal data), disable or degrade services, or sabotage systems are constantly evolving and have become increasingly complex and sophisticated.
  • These techniques are difficult to detect quickly, and often are not recognized or detected until after they have been launched against a target.
  • Even if identified, we may be unable to adequately investigate or remediate incidents or breaches due to attackers increasingly using tools, such as artificial intelligence (“AI”), that are designed to circumvent controls, avoid detection, and remove or obfuscate forensic evidence.
  • In addition, we identify and track known security vulnerabilities in our (and third-party) software and services that are deployed in our business, and we cannot guarantee that patches or other measures will be comprehensively applied before such vulnerabilities can be exploited by a threat actor.
  • Because certain of our products are integrated with our customers’ systems, the circumvention or failure of our protective measures could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our customers’ own systems and/or information.
  • In addition, there can be no assurance that our cybersecurity risk management program and processes, including our policies, controls or procedures, will be fully implemented, complied with or effective in protecting our IT systems and Confidential Information.
  • I-17 We have experienced cyber-attacks and other security incidents involving access to IT Systems and Confidential Information, and will continue to experience such attacks and incidents to varying degrees.
  • To date, no attacks or incidents either individually or in the aggregate has materially impacted our operations, financial condition or business.
  • Although we and our service providers deploy security measures in relation to our IT Systems and Confidential Information, no measures can guarantee protection against all cyber-attacks and security incidents.
  • A serious breach of our IT Systems, Confidential Information, or a third-party system upon which we rely may subject us to material losses or liability, including, for example, as a result of the following: payment network fines; assessments and claims for unauthorized purchases with misappropriated credit, debit or card information; impersonation or other similar fraud claims; regulatory investigations, fines and penalties; litigation (including class action) costs, damages and injunctive relief; significant harm to our brand and reputation; loss of existing clients and potential clients from using electronic payments generally and our solutions and services specifically, thus reducing our revenue; costs to correct any breaches or failures; and significant uninsured liabilities and costs.
  • Although we generally require that our agreements with our distribution partners and service providers who have access to our IT Systems and/or Confidential Information include confidentiality obligations that restrict these parties from using such access or disclosing such information except as necessary to perform their services under the applicable agreements, there can be no assurance that these contractual measures will prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information, nor can we be sure that such third parties would be willing or able to satisfy liabilities arising from their breach of these agreements.
  • In addition, our agreements with our bank sponsors (as well as payment network requirements) require us to take certain protective measures to ensure the confidentiality of Confidential Information.
  • Additionally, we are responsible both for our own business and to a significant degree for acts and omissions by certain of our distribution partners and third-party vendors under the rules and regulations established by the payment networks, such as Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express and the debit networks.
  • We and other third parties collect, process, store and transmit Confidential Information, including financial and payment card information, and we have ultimate liability to the payment networks and member financial institutions that register us with the payment networks for our failure, or the failure of certain distribution partners and third parties with whom we contract, to protect this Confidential Information, in accordance with payment network requirements.

  • We may also potentially face competition from our current partners.
  • These projects I-15 carry risks, such as cost overruns, delays in delivery, performance problems and lack of acceptance by our clients, which could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
  • Pursuant to these agreements with payment processors, we are registered with the card networks as an independent sales organization (“ISO”) of our sponsor bank(s) or as a payment facilitator(s), and are subject to the requirements of our bank sponsors, payment processors, as well as the card network rules and certain other obligations.

  • Payment-related transactions comprised approximately 17% of our revenue in 2024.
  • The solutions and services we deliver are designed to process complex transactions and provide reports and other information on those transactions, all at very high volumes and processing speeds.
  • I-17 Unauthorized disclosure, destruction or modification of data, disruption of our software or services or cyber breaches could expose us to liability, protracted and costly litigation and damage our reputation.

  • Although we maintain liability insurance coverage, there can be no assurance that such coverage will cover any claim, prove to be adequate or continue to remain available on acceptable terms, if at all.

  • Threats can come from a variety of sources, including criminal hackers, hacktivists, state-sponsored intrusions, industrial espionage and insider threats.
  • Certain efforts may be supported by significant financial and technological resources, making them even more sophisticated and difficult to detect.
  • Numerous and evolving cybersecurity threats, including advanced and persisting cyber-attacks, cyber-extortion, ransomware attacks, spear phishing and social engineering schemes, the introduction of computer viruses or other malware and the physical destruction of all or portions of our information technology and infrastructure could compromise the confidentiality, availability and integrity of the data in our systems.
  • Despite our efforts to create security barriers against such threats, it is virtually impossible for us to eliminate these risks entirely.
  • Any such breach could compromise our networks or the products we offer our customers, creating system disruptions or slowdowns and exploiting security vulnerabilities of our products.
  • Additionally, the information stored on our networks could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen, any of which could subject us to liability and cause us financial harm.
  • These breaches, or any perceived breach, may also result in reporting obligations, damage to our reputation, negative publicity, loss of key partners, customers and transactions, increased remedial costs, or costly litigation, and may therefore adversely impact market acceptance of our products and services and may seriously affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
