Overview

EVERTEC is a leading full-service transaction-processing business and financial technology provider in Latin America, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, providing a broad range of merchant acquiring, payment services and business solutions. We believe we are one of the largest merchant acquirers in Latin America based on total number of transactions and we also believe we are the largest merchant acquirer in the Caribbean. We serve 26 countries out of 24 offices, including our headquarters in Puerto Rico. We own and operate the ATH network, which we believe is one of the leading debit networks in Latin America. We process over ten billion transactions annually through a system of electronic payment networks in Puerto Rico and Latin America and provide a comprehensive suite of services for core banking, cash processing, fulfillment in Puerto Rico and a "one stop shop" set of access to products for the financial sector in Brazil, which includes solutions such as core banking, investments, asset management, pension funds and consortium. Additionally, we offer managed services, managed security services and payment transactions fraud monitoring to all the regions where we do business. We serve a diversified customer base of leading financial institutions, merchants, corporations, and government agencies with “mission-critical” technology solutions that enable them to issue, process and accept transactions securely. We believe our business is well-positioned to continue to expand across the fast-growing Latin America region.

We are differentiated, in part, by our diversified business model, which enables us to provide our varied customer base with a broad range of transaction-processing services from a single source across numerous channels and geographic markets. We believe this capability provides several competitive advantages that will enable us to continue to penetrate our existing customer base with complementary new services, gain new customers, develop new sales channels, and enter new markets. We believe these competitive advantages include:

•Our ability to provide competitive products;

•Our ability to provide in one package a range of services that traditionally had to be sourced from different vendors;

•Our ability to serve customers with disparate operations in several geographies with technology solutions that enable them to manage their business as one enterprise; and

•Our ability to capture and analyze data across the transaction-processing value chain and use that data to provide value-added services that are differentiated from those offered by pure-play vendors that serve only one portion of the transaction-processing value chain (such as only merchant acquiring or payment services).

Our broad suite of services spans the entire payment processing value chain and includes a range of front-end customer-facing solutions such as the electronic capture and authorization of transactions at the point-of-sale for both card present transactions and card-not-present transactions, as well as back-end support services such as the clearing and settlement of transactions and account reconciliation for card issuers. These include: (i) merchant acquiring services, which enable point of sales (“POS”) and e-commerce merchants to accept and process electronic methods of payment such as debit, credit, prepaid and electronic benefit transfer (“EBT”) cards; (ii) payment processing services, which enable financial institutions and other issuers to manage, support and facilitate the processing for credit, debit, prepaid, automated teller machines (“ATM”) and EBT card programs; and (iii) business process management solutions, which provide “mission-critical” technology solutions such as core bank processing, as well as IT outsourcing and cash management services to financial institutions, corporations and governments. We provide these services through scalable, end-to-end technology platforms that we manage and operate in-house and that generate significant operating efficiencies that enable us to maximize profitability.

We sell and distribute our services primarily through a proprietary direct sales force with established customer relationships. We continue to pursue joint ventures and merchant acquiring alliances. We benefit from an attractive business model, the hallmarks of which are recurring revenue, scalability, significant operating margins and moderate capital expenditure requirements. Our revenue is predominantly recurring in nature because of the mission-critical and embedded nature of the

services we provide. In addition, we generally enter into multi-year contracts with our customers. We believe our business model should enable us to continue to grow our business organically in the primary markets we serve without significant incremental capital expenditures.

2024 Developments

On March 4, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Evertec approved an increase to Evertec’s existing share repurchase authorization to permit future repurchases of up to an aggregate of $220 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, by December 31, 2025. Under the repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares in the open market, through accelerated share repurchase programs, Rule 10b5-1 plans, or in privately negotiated transactions.

On March 6, 2024, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR”) with Bank of America, N.A. to repurchase an aggregate of $70 million of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, which was completed on July 9, 2024. The Company received a total of 1,984,155 shares in connection with this transaction. All of the shares received as part of the ASR were retired.

On October 31, 2024, the Company signed and closed an agreement to acquire 100% of the share capital of Grandata, Inc. ("Grandata"). Grandata is a data analytics company operating in Mexico that specializes in leveraging behavioral data to provide credit risk insights, with a focus on underbanked populations.

On November 19, 2024, the Company signed and closed an agreement to acquire 100% of the share capital of Nubity, Inc ("Nubity"). Nubity is a cloud services provider based in Mexico, specializing in AWS cloud infrastructure management, DevOps, and cloud-native application solutions for clients across Latin America.

Factors and Trends Affecting the Results of Our Operations

The ongoing migration from cash and paper methods of payment to electronic payments continues to benefit the transaction- processing industry globally. We continue to believe that the penetration of electronic payments in the markets in which we operate is significantly lower relative to the U.S. market, which, together with the ongoing shift from cash and paper methods of payment to electronic payments will continue to generate growth opportunities for our business. For example, currently the adoption of banking products, including electronic payments, in the Latin America and Caribbean region is lower relative to the mature U.S. and European markets. We believe that the unbanked and underbanked population in our markets will continue to shrink, and therefore drive incremental penetration and growth of electronic payments in Puerto Rico and other Latin America regions. We also benefit from the outsourcing of technology systems and processes trend for financial institutions and government. Many medium- and small-size institutions in the Latin American markets in which we operate have outdated systems and updating these IT legacy systems is financially and logistically challenging, which presents a business opportunity for us.

In recent years, consumer preference has accelerated its shift away from cash and paper payment methods, noting increased demand for omni-channel payment services that facilitate cashless and contactless transactions. The markets in which we operate, particularly Latin America and the Caribbean, continue to grow and consumer preference is driving an increase for electronic payments usage. Latin America is one of the fastest-growing mobile markets globally, with a growing base of tech-savvy customers that demonstrate a preference for credit cards, digital wallets, contactless payments, and other value-added offerings. The region's fintech sector is driving change via new contactless payment technology, which is becoming a popular alternative to cash payments. We continue to believe that the attractive characteristics of our markets and our position across multiple services and sectors will continue to drive growth and profitability in our businesses.

Our payment businesses also generally experience moderate increased activity during the traditional holiday shopping periods and around other nationally recognized holidays, which follow consumer spending patterns.

Finally, our financial condition and results of operations are, in part, dependent on the economic and general conditions of the geographies in which we operate. Rising interest rates, inflationary pressures, foreign currency fluctuations and economic uncertainty in the markets in which we operate may affect consumer confidence, which could result in a decrease in consumer spending and an impact to our financial results.

Relationship with Popular

On September 30, 2010, EVERTEC Group entered into a 15-year Master Service Agreement ("MSA"), and several related agreements with Popular. On July 1, 2022, we modified and extended the main commercial agreements with Popular, including obtaining a 10-year extension of the Merchant Acquiring Independent Sales Organization Agreement, a 5-year extension of the

38

Table of Contents

ATH Network Participation Agreement and a 3-year extension of the MSA (as amended, the "A&R ISO Agreement"). The A&R ISO Agreement, which defines our merchant acquiring relationship with Popular, now includes revenue sharing provisions with Popular. The MSA modifications also include the elimination of the exclusivity requirement, the inclusion of annual MSA minimums through September 30, 2028, a 10% discount on certain MSA services beginning in October of 2025 and adjustments to the CPI pricing escalator clause. On the same date, we also sold to Popular certain assets in exchange for 4.6 million shares of EVERTEC common stock owned by Popular (collectively with the contract amendments, the "Popular Transaction"). On August 15, 2022, through a secondary offering, Popular sold its remaining shares of EVERTEC common stock. EVERTEC is no longer deemed a subsidiary of Popular under the Bank Holding Company Act. Popular continues to be the Company’s largest customer and during the year ended December 31, 2024 approximately 31% of our revenues were generated from this relationship.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, and in some instances, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.

We base our assumptions, estimates, and judgments on historical experience, current events, and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. However, because future events are inherently uncertain and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Report. We believe that the following accounting estimates are the most critical; require the most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments; and thus, results in estimates that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policy follows the guidance from Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provide guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in the consolidated financial statements. Application of this policy requires us to make certain judgements and estimates.

Complex arrangements with nonstandard terms and conditions may require significant contract interpretation to determine the appropriate accounting. Specifically, when another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, the Company evaluates, for each performance obligation, whether it is providing the goods or services itself (i.e., as principal), or if it is only arranging on behalf of the other party. Changes in judgement with respect to assumptions and estimates in revenue recognition could impact the amount of revenue recognized.

Valuation of Goodwill

The valuation of goodwill for impairment requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The Company may test for goodwill impairment using a qualitative or a quantitative analysis. In a qualitative analysis, the Company assesses whether it is "more likely than not" that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In the quantitative analysis, the Company compares the estimated fair value of the reporting units to their carrying values, including goodwill. The estimated fair value of the reporting units is computed using a combination of an income approach and a market approach. The income approach involves projecting the cash flows that the reporting unit is expected to generate and converting these cash flows into a present value equivalent through discounting. Significant estimates and assumptions used in the cash flow projection include, among others, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margins, and the selection of discount rates. Internal projections are based on the Company’s historical experience and estimated future business performance. The discount rate used is based on the weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects the rate of return expected to be earned by market participants and the estimated cost to obtain long-term debt financing. The market approach estimates the value of a reporting unit by using multiples of revenue and EBITDA based on the guidelines of publicly traded companies. Valuation using the market approach requires management to make assumptions related to EBITDA multiples. Comparable businesses are selected based on the market in which the reporting units operate, considering size, profitability and growth.

Redeemable Non-controlling Interests

The Company records redeemable non-controlling interests ("RNCI") in consolidated subsidiaries that result from business acquisition transactions where the Company is granted the right to purchase and the sellers are granted the right to sell to the

39

Table of Contents

Company the remaining interest at the calculated redemption value and classifies them as mezzanine equity in the consolidated balance sheets as potential redemption is not solely within the Company's control. The acquired RNCI were initially measured at fair value at the acquisition date. The non-controlling interest is adjusted each reporting period for income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest and for any dividends declared. Each reporting period, a measurement period adjustment, if any, is then recorded to adjust the non-controlling interest to the higher of either the redemption value, assuming it was redeemable at the reporting date, or its carrying value, but not if such adjustment would result in a redemption value less than the initial fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interest. If and when applicable, these adjustments are recorded in equity and are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive (loss) income.

Income Tax

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. A temporary difference refers to a difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability, determined based on recognition and measurement requirements for tax positions, and its reported amount in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amount of the asset or liability is recovered or settled, respectively. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future effects on income taxes that result from temporary differences and carryforwards that exist at the end of a period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and provisions of the enacted tax law and are not discounted to reflect the time-value of money. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive (loss) income in the period that includes the enactment date. A deferred tax valuation allowance is established if it is considered more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement or disposition of the underlying issue with the taxing authority. Accordingly, the amount of benefit recognized in the consolidated financial statements may differ from the amount taken or expected to be taken in the tax return resulting in unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”). The Company recognizes the interest and penalties associated with UTBs as part of the provision for income taxes on its consolidated statements of income and comprehensive (loss) income. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheets. Judgment is required to determine whether or not some portion or all deferred tax assets will not be realized. To the extent that the Company will not realize the benefit of some or all of our deferred tax assets, these deferred tax assets are adjusted via a valuation allowance through our provision for income taxes in the period in which this determination is made.

All companies within EVERTEC are legal entities that file separate income tax returns.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Segment Reporting

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, as presented in this Report for the Company on a consolidated basis, are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. They are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to total revenues, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as measures of our liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA at the segment level is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to our segments, is presented in conformity with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, and is excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures under the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K.

For more information regarding EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, including a quantitative reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure, which is net income, see “—Net Income Reconciliation to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share” and “—Covenant Compliance” below.

Revenues

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $845.5 million, an increase of $150.8 million or 22% compared with $694.7 million in the prior year, reflecting the contribution from a full year from Sinqia and organic growth across all of the company's segments. Merchant acquiring revenue benefited from an improvement in spread and sales volume growth. Payments Puerto Rico revenue reflected continued growth in ATH Movil Business and increased transaction volumes. Latin America revenue benefited from the contribution from the Sinqia, Grandata and Nubity acquisitions as well as continued organic growth across the region. Latin America revenue also benefited from better than expected volumes from GetNet Chile, which resulted in the recognition of a one-time incremental $2.4 million in revenue, compared with the one-time $6.3 million recognized in the prior year. Business Solutions revenue reflected increases from completed projects, primarily for Popular.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 amounted to $406.4 million, an increase of $69.7 million or 21% when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in cost of revenues was primarily driven by an increase in personnel costs, which includes the added headcount in Latin America from the acquisitions completed throughout the year, an increase in cost of sales mainly related to merchant acquiring revenue sharing agreements and the projects completed in Business Solutions and an increase in cloud services and professional fees.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 amounted to $145.6 million, an increase of $17.4 million or 14% when compared to the same period in the prior year driven by an increase in personnel costs and equipment expenses, primarily related to acquisitions completed, partially offset by lower professional fees.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 amounted to $127.8 million, an increase of $34.2 million or 37% when compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in amortization of intangible assets created in connection with the Sinqia and paySmart acquisition, as well as an increase in software amortization for internally developed software.

[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

Non-operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased by $4.8 million when compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was mainly related to the loss on foreign currency swap in the prior year of $24.1 million, an increase in other income of $15.9 million mainly related to the impact from the $8.9 million gain on the sale of tax credits along with a $3.1 million gain on sale of investments, an increase in interest income of $4.8 million, and a decrease in foreign currency losses from remeasurement of $3.1 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $42.4 million resulting from the increased debt raised to finance the Sinqia acquisition.

[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 amounted to $4.8 million, relatively flat when compared to the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the period was 4.1%, compared with 6.4% in the 2023 period. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by the higher interest expense resulting from the incremental debt raised as part of the Sinqia acquisition, coupled with the reversal of a potential liability for uncertain tax positions as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations, partially offset by the foreign currency hedge loss of $24.1 million in the prior year.

Segment Results of Operations

The Company has four operating and reportable segments: Payment Services - Puerto Rico & Caribbean, Latin America Payments and Solutions, Merchant Acquiring, and Business Solutions based upon organization of the Company by the nature of products and services provided to customers and geography.

The Payment Services - Puerto Rico & Caribbean segment revenues are comprised of revenues related to providing access to the ATH debit network and other card networks to financial institutions, including related services such as authorization, processing, management and recording of ATM and POS transactions, and ATM management and monitoring. The segment revenues also include revenues from card processing services (such as credit and debit card processing, authorization and settlement and fraud monitoring and control to debit or credit issuers), payment processing services (such as payment and billing products for merchants, businesses and financial institutions), ATH Movil (person-to-person) and ATH Business (person-to-merchant) digital transactions and EBT (which principally consist of services to the government of Puerto Rico for the delivery of benefits to participants). For ATH debit network and processing services, revenues are primarily driven by the number of transactions processed. Revenues are derived primarily from network fees, transaction switching and processing fees, and the leasing of POS devices. For card issuer processing, revenues are primarily dependent upon the number of cardholder accounts on file, transactions and authorizations processed, the number of cards embossed and other processing services. For EBT services, revenues are primarily derived from the number of beneficiaries on file.

Table of Contents

The Latin America Payments and Solutions segment payment revenues consist of revenues related to providing access to the ATH network of ATMs and other card networks to financial institutions, including related services such as authorization, processing, management and recording of ATM and POS transactions, and ATM management and monitoring. The segment revenues also include revenues from card processing services (such as credit and debit card processing, authorization and settlement and fraud monitoring and control to debit or credit issuers), payment processing services (such as payment and billing products for merchants, businesses and financial institutions), as well as licensed software solutions for risk and fraud management and card payment processing. For network and processing services, revenues are primarily driven by the number of transactions processed. Revenues are derived primarily from transaction switching, processing fees, and the leasing of POS devices. For card issuer processing, revenues are primarily dependent upon the number of cardholder accounts on file, transactions and authorizations processed, the number of cards embossed, and other processing services. Solutions revenues consist of (a) licensing, support and maintenance (“subscription”), implementation and customization of software used to provide financial products in areas such as core banking, credit, investments, payments, foreign exchange, mutual funds, pension funds and consortium, in addition to software used to execute processes such as digital onboarding, digital signature and digital collection; and (b) outsourcing of mission critical IT services. Revenues are based on monthly fixed fees and, in several cases, variable fees based on usage.

The Merchant Acquiring segment consists of revenues from services that allow merchants to accept electronic methods of payment. In the Merchant Acquiring segment, revenues include a discount fee and membership fees charged to merchants, debit network fees and rental fees from POS devices and other equipment, net of credit card interchange and assessment fees charged by credit cards associations (such as VISA or MasterCard) or payment networks. The discount fee is generally a percentage of the transaction value. EVERTEC also charges merchants for other services that are unrelated to the number of transactions or the transaction value.

The Business Solutions segment consists of revenues from a full suite of business process management solutions in various product areas such as core bank processing, network hosting, managed services and managed security services, IT professional services, business process outsourcing, item processing, cash processing, and fulfillment. Core bank processing and network services revenues are derived in part from a recurrent fixed fee and from fees based on the number of accounts on file (i.e., savings or checking accounts, loans, etc.), server capacity usage or computer resources utilized. Revenues from other processing services within the Business Solutions segment are generally volume-based and depend on factors such as the number of accounts processed. In addition, EVERTEC is a reseller of hardware and software products and these resale transactions are generally non-recurring.

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CODM uses revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources, and regularly reviews performance at the segment level against budget and forecast when making decisions about the allocation of resources to each segment. Adjusted EBITDA reviewed by the CODM is calculated as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash unrealized items and unusual expenses such as: share-based compensation, restructuring related expenses, fees and expenses from corporate transactions such as M&A activity and financing, equity investment income net of dividends received, and the impact from non-cash unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency remeasurement for assets and liabilities in non-functional currency. Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to operating segments, is presented in conformity with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, given that it is used by the CODM for purposes of evaluating performance and allocating resources.

See Note 26 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Report for the reconciliation of segment adjusted EBITDA to consolidated income before taxes.

The following tables set forth information about the Company’s operations by its four reportable segments for the periods indicated below.

continued strong digital payments growth from ATH Movil, primarily ATH Business, as well as increased POS transactions and increases in transaction-processing and monitoring services provided to the Latin America Payments and Solutions segment partially offset by lower issuing services revenue, mainly driven by lower active accounts. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $3.1 million to $121.4 million driven by the increase in revenues partially offset by higher operating expenses, including higher professional services, higher losses on disposition related to POS retirements along with increased infrastructure and programming expenses.

Latin America Payments and Solutions

[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

Latin America Payments and Solutions segment revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased by $116.3 million to $302.8 million when compared to the same period in the prior year. Revenues benefited from the contribution from the Sinqia, paySmart, Grandata and Nubity acquisitions and continued organic growth across the region. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $19.5 million when compared to the same period in the prior year driven by the impact of the Sinqia acquisition, which contributes at a lower margin, partially offset by higher personnel costs driven by the higher headcount from acquisitions and the impact of the $6.3 million adjustment for GetNet Chile in the prior year, compared with the $2.4 million in the current year, which is 100% accretive to margin.

[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

Merchant Acquiring segment revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased by $18.1 million to $180.5 million when compared to the same period in the prior year. The revenue increase was primarily driven by an improvement in spread and sales volume growth. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $11.6 million when compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by the increase in revenues partially offset by higher processing costs from the Payment Services - Puerto Rico & Caribbean segment, an increase in costs associated with the revenue sharing agreements and an increase in operational losses.

Business Solutions segment revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 grew by $17.0 million to $244.0 million when compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by completed projects, mainly for Popular and to a lesser extent the impact of the CPI escalator that started on October 1 of 1.5% for services provided to Popular. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $15.8 million to $102.7 million as compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by the higher revenues partially offset by higher costs of sale, primarily related to the completed projects, and an increase in professional services.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our principal source of liquidity is cash generated from operations, and our primary liquidity requirements are the funding of working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividend payments, share repurchases and debt service. We also have a $200.0 million Revolving Facility, of which $193.9 million was available for borrowing as of December 31, 2024. The Company issues letters of credit against our Revolving Facility which reduce our availability of funds to be drawn.

As of December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $273.6 million, of which $224.5 million resides in our subsidiaries located outside of Puerto Rico for purposes of (i) funding the respective subsidiary’s current business operations and (ii) funding potential future investment outside of Puerto Rico. We intend to reinvest these funds outside of Puerto Rico, and based on our liquidity forecast, we will not need to repatriate this cash to fund the Puerto Rico operations or to meet debt-service obligations. However, if in the future we determine that we no longer need to maintain cash balances within our foreign subsidiaries, we may elect to distribute such cash to the Company in Puerto Rico. Distributions from the foreign subsidiaries to Puerto Rico may be subject to tax withholding and other tax consequences. Additionally, our credit agreement imposes certain restrictions on the distribution of dividends from subsidiaries.

Our primary use of cash is for operating expenses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividend payments, share repurchases, debt service, and other transactions as opportunities present themselves.

Based on our current level of operations, we believe our existing cash flows from operations and the available secured Revolving Facility will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs at least for the next twelve months from the date of this Report. However, our ability to fund future operating expenses, dividend payments, capital expenditures, mergers and acquisitions, and our ability to make scheduled payments of interest, to pay principal on or refinance our indebtedness and to satisfy any other of our present or future debt obligations will depend on our future operating performance, which may be affected by general economic, financial, and other factors beyond our control.

Comparison of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

The following table presents our cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:  

[[GREPCENT_TABLE]]

[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $260.1 million, an increase of $48.9 million compared to 2023 as the Company continues to effectively manage working capital.

Net cash used in investing activities was $118.3 million compared to $507.9 million. The decrease is primarily attributable to the acquisitions completed during 2023 for $417.6 million compared to $34.0 million for the acquisitions completed in 2024.

Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $152.6 million, compared with cash provided of $416.4 million in prior year related to the debt issued for the Sinqia acquisition. The net cash used in financing activities during 2024 reflects an increase of $46.2 million in share repurchases which include the impact of the ASR, cash used to pay down long-term debt of $23.9 million, other financing agreements of $8.1 million, short-term borrowings for purchase of equipment and software of $2.5 million, a $4.0 million increase in withholding taxes paid on share-based compensation and settlement activity, net of $8.6 million.

Capital Resources

Our principal capital expenditures are for hardware and computer software (purchased and internally developed) and additions to property and equipment. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company invested approximately $88.4

million and $85.0 million, respectively in our capital resources. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2024 the Company acquired Nubity and Grandata for an aggregated amount of $34.0 million, net of cash acquired, compared to an aggregated amount of $417.6 million, net of cash acquired for the two acquisitions completed in the prior year. Generally, we fund capital expenditures with cash flow generated from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under our Revolving Facility. In the case of the Sinqia Transaction, the Company used additional funding through a Term B loan.

Dividend Payments

The Company pays a regular quarterly dividend on common stock, subject to the declaration thereof by our Board each quarter. Any declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend on many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, available cash, business opportunities, legal requirements, restrictions in our debt agreements and other contracts, capital requirements, level of indebtedness and other factors that our Board deems relevant. Refer to the table below for details regarding our dividends in 2024 and 2023:

On May 16, 2024 and November 26, 2024, EVERTEC and EVERTEC Group entered into second and third amendments to its Credit Agreement, each providing for a pricing reduction to its TLB Facility. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms and conditions detailed below apply to both TLA Facility and TLB Facility (together, the “Term Loan Facilities”). In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company prepaid $60 million of the outstanding balance on TLB Facility.

Scheduled Amortization Payments

The TLA Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments at an amount equal to $5,966,720.78 per quarter (increasing to $8,950,081.17 per quarter for any installment payments to be made in the calendar year ending 2027), with the balance payable on the TLA Facility maturity date. The TLB Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments at a per annum rate equal to 1% of the original aggregate principal amount of the TLB Facility, with the balance payable on the TLB Facility maturity date. Any optional prepayments of the Term Loan Facilities can be applied to the remaining installments. The Revolving Facility terminates on December 1, 2027, and loans thereunder may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed prior thereto.

Voluntary Prepayments and Reduction and Termination of Commitments

EVERTEC Group may prepay loans under the Term Loan Facilities and permanently reduce the loan commitments under the Revolving Facility at any time without premium or penalty, subject to compensation for any break funding costs incurred by a lender and timely submission of a notice of prepayment or commitment reduction, as applicable; provided that any prepayment of the TLB Facility made prior to May 26, 2025 is subject to a 1% prepayment premium. EVERTEC Group is required to make certain mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan Facilities and the Revolving Facility in certain circumstances.

Interest

The Term Loan Facilities and borrowings under the Revolving Facility accrue interest, at EVERTEC Group’s option at (a) the Adjusted Term SOFR, which means SOFR plus 10 basis points (for the TLA Facility and the Revolving Facility) and plus 0 basis points (for the TLB Facility), for the Interest Period in effect for such borrowing or (b) the ABR, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for (i) the TLA Facility and the Revolving Facility is 2.00% per annum for SOFR loans and 1.50% per annum for ABR loans (each subject to four 25 bps step-downs based upon the Company’s total net leverage ratio), and (ii) the TLB Facility, is 2.75% per annum for SOFR loans and 1.75% per annum for ABR loans.

Guarantees and Collateral

The Term Loan Facilities and the Revolving Facility are guaranteed by, and secured by substantially all assets of, EVERTEC and its existing and future material subsidiaries (including EVERTEC Group), subject to customary exceptions.

Covenants

Events of Default

The events of default under the Term Loan Facilities and the Revolving Facility include, without limitation, nonpayment, material misrepresentation, breach of covenants, insolvency, bankruptcy, certain judgments, change of control (as defined therein) and cross-events of default on material indebtedness.

The unpaid principal balance at December 31, 2024 of the TLA Facility and TLB Facility were $429.6 million and $540.0 million. The additional borrowing capacity for the Revolving Facility at December 31, 2024 was $193.9 million. The Company issues letters of credit against the Revolving Facility which reduce the additional borrowing capacity of the Revolving Facility. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

Deferred Consideration from Business Combinations

As part of the Company’s merger and acquisition activities, the Company may enter into agreements by which a portion of the purchase price is financed directly by the seller. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unpaid principal balance of these agreements amounted to $9.9 million and $19.5 million, respectively. Obligations bear interest at rates ranging from 6.3% to 13.2% with maturities ranging from January 2025 through March 2027. The current portion of the deferred consideration is included in accounts payable and the long-term portion is included in other long-term liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Notes payable

In September 2023, EVERTEC Group entered into a non-interest bearing financing agreement amounting to $10.1 million to purchase software and maintenance which the Company recorded on a discounted basis using an implied interest of 6.9%.

The current portion of the note is included in accounts payable and the long-term portion is included in other long-term liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Interest Rate Swaps

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has three interest rate swap agreements which convert a portion of the interest rate payments on the Company’s Term Loan Facility from variable to fixed. The interest rate swaps are used to hedge the market risk from changes in interest rates corresponding with the Company's variable rate debt. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and are considered highly effective. Cash flows from the interest rate swaps are included in the accrued liabilities and accounts payable line item in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income until the gains or losses are reclassified to earnings. Gains or losses reclassified to earnings are presented within interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive (loss) income.

Covenant Compliance

As of December 31, 2024, the total secured net leverage ratio was 2.06 to 1.00. As of the date of filing of this Report, no event has occurred that constitutes an Event of Default or Default, each as described in the Credit Agreement and the subsequent amendments to the Credit Agreement.

In this Report, we refer to the term “Adjusted EBITDA” to mean EBITDA as so defined and calculated in a substantially consistent manner for purposes of determining compliance with the total secured net leverage ratio based on the financial information for the last twelve months at the end of each quarter.

Net Income Reconciliation to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share (Non-GAAP Measures)

The non-GAAP measures referenced in this Report are supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). They are not measurements of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to total revenue, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, as indicators of operating performance or as measures of the Company’s liquidity. In addition to GAAP measures, management uses these non-GAAP measures to focus on the factors the Company believes are pertinent to the daily management of the Company’s operations and believes that they are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other stakeholders to evaluate companies in our industry. These measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations that are necessary to run our business. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use these measures or may calculate these measures differently than as presented herein, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included below. These non-GAAP measures include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, each as defined below.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items and unusual expenses such as: share-based compensation, restructuring related expenses, fees and expenses from corporate transactions such as M&A activity and financing, equity investment income net of dividends received, and the impact from unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency remeasurement for assets and liabilities in non-functional currency. This measure is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to the Company's segments, is presented in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting, and is excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures under the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is substantially consistent with the equivalent measurements that are contained in the secured credit facilities in testing EVERTEC Group’s compliance with covenants therein such as the secured leverage ratio. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less: operating depreciation and amortization expense, defined as GAAP Depreciation and amortization less amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions such as customer relationships, trademarks; cash interest expense defined as GAAP interest expense, less GAAP interest income adjusted to exclude non-cash amortization of debt issue costs, premium and accretion of discount; income tax expense which is calculated on adjusted pre-tax income using the applicable GAAP tax rate, adjusted for uncertain tax positions, tax true-ups, windfall from share-based compensation, unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement, among others; and non-controlling interests, net of amortization for intangibles created as part of the purchase.

Adjusted Earnings per common share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted shares outstanding.

The Company uses Adjusted Net Income to measure the Company’s overall profitability because the Company believes it better reflects the comparable operating performance by excluding the impact of the non-cash amortization and depreciation that was created as a result of merger and acquisition activity. In addition, in evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses such as those excluded in calculating them.
