FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protection of, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “estimates,” “will,” “should,” “plans” or “anticipates” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. Readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and may involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Among the factors that significantly impact our business and could impact our business in the future are:

•our reliance on our relationship with Popular, Inc. (“Popular”) for a significant portion of our revenues pursuant to our second amended and restated Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) with them, and as it may impact our ability to grow our merchant acquiring business;

•our ability to renew our client contracts on terms favorable to us, including but not limited to the current term and any extension of the MSA with Popular;

•our dependence on our processing systems, technology infrastructure, security systems and fraudulent payment detection systems, as well as on our personnel and certain third parties with whom we do business, and the risks to our business if our systems are hacked or otherwise compromised;

•our ability to develop, install and adopt new software, technology and computing systems;

•a decreased client base due to consolidations and failures in the financial services industry;

•the credit risk of our merchant clients, for which we may also be liable;

•the continuing market position of the ATH network;

•a reduction in consumer confidence, whether as a result of a global economic downturn or otherwise, which leads to a decrease in consumer spending;

•our dependence on credit card associations, including any adverse changes in credit card association or network rules or fees;

•changes in the regulatory environment and changes in macroeconomic, market, international, legal, tax, political, or administrative conditions, including inflation or the risk of recession;

•the geographical concentration of our business in Puerto Rico, including our business with the government of Puerto Rico and its instrumentalities, which are facing severe political and fiscal challenges;

•additional adverse changes in the general economic conditions in Puerto Rico, whether as a result of the government’s debt crisis or otherwise, including the continued migration of Puerto Ricans to the U.S. mainland, which could negatively affect our customer base, general consumer spending, our cost of operations and our ability to hire and retain qualified employees;

•operating an international business in Latin America and the Caribbean, in jurisdictions with potential political and economic instability;

•the impact of foreign exchange rates on operations;

•our ability to protect our intellectual property rights against infringement and to defend ourselves against claims of infringement brought by third parties;

•our ability to comply with U.S. federal, state, local and foreign regulatory requirements;

•evolving industry standards and adverse changes in global economic, political and other conditions;

•our level of indebtedness and the impact of rising interest rates, restrictions contained in our debt agreements, including the secured credit facilities, as well as debt that could be incurred in the future;

•our ability to prevent a cybersecurity attack or breach to our information security;

•the possibility that we could lose our preferential tax rate in Puerto Rico;

•the possibility of future catastrophic hurricanes, earthquakes and other potential natural disasters affecting our main markets in Latin America and the Caribbean;

•uncertainty related to the effect of the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate;

•the elimination of Popular's ownership of our common stock; and

Table of Contents

•the other factors set forth under "Part 1, Item 1A. Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 25, 2022, as updated by Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Report.

These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various factors, including those set forth under “Part 1, Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022, as updated by Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Report, and as updated in our subsequent filings with the SEC, and in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Report. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Report, and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

All reports we file with the SEC are available free of charge via the Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval (EDGAR) System on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. We also provide copies of our SEC filings at no charge upon request and make electronic copies of our reports available for download through our website at www.evertecinc.com as soon as reasonably practicable after filing such material with the SEC.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 to update ASC 805, Business Combinations, to require that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company selected to early adopt this guidance for its most recent business combination.

Note 3 – Business Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisition of a Business

On July 1, 2022, EVERTEC's main operating subsidiary, EVERTEC Group closed on the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of BBR SpA ("BBR"), a payment solutions and business technology company with operations in Chile and Peru, by entering into a share purchase agreement (Contrato de Compraventa de Acciones), between EVERTEC Group and IG Capital, Cuatro R, Rivers and Brela ( collectively, the "Sellers"). As consideration for the purchase, the Company transferred to the sellers upon closing cash that amounted to $45.9 million and certificates of deposits that amounted to $7.3 million. The BBR acquisition increases the Company's payment solution offerings, provides access to larger merchants in Chile and expands the Company's physical presence into Peru.

The Company accounted for this transaction as a business combination. The following table details the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the BBR acquisition:

The following table details the major groups of intangible assets acquired and the weighted average amortization period for these assets:


	Amount		Weighted-average life
(Dollar amounts in thousands)

Customer relationships	$	22,500	15
Trademark	1,250		5
Software packages	1,100		5
Total	$	24,850	14

Refer to Note 6 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for detail of goodwill allocated by reportable segments. The goodwill is primarily attributed to synergies. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

Revenues and earnings from the BBR acquisition were not material for either the three or nine months ended September 30, 2022. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of this business combination is not material to the consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Sale of a Business

On July 1, 2022, the Company closed on a definitive agreement with Banco Popular de Puerto Rico and its parent, Popular, to sell software and prepaid assets and transfer certain employees in connection with those assets (the "Business"). As consideration for the sale of the Business, Popular delivered 4.6 million shares of Evertec common stock held by Popular with a value of $169.2 million at close (the "Popular Transaction"). Additionally, management concluded that $15.4 million included in the Company's contract liability should be treated as consideration for the sale therefore, total consideration for the sale of the Business amounted to $184.7 million. The Company also modified and extended the main commercial agreements with Popular, including a 10-year extension of the Merchant Acquiring Independent Sales Organization Agreement, a 5-year extension of the ATH Network Participation Agreement and a 3-year extension of the MSA. The MSA modifications, among other things, includes the elimination of the exclusivity requirement which was the basis for a non-compete intangible asset recorded in 2010 as part of the original MSA that was amortized over a 15 year period. The Company also entered into new contracts and transition services agreements concurrently with the close of the Popular Transaction with terms between 3 months and 36 months.

Given the elimination of the exclusivity clause discussed above, the Company determined that the balance of the non-compete intangible asset on July 1, 2022 of $12.3 million, should be written off as a component of the gain on sale of a business. The Company also concluded that certain provisions in the new contracts and transition services agreements with Popular were not at fair value, therefore requiring that a portion of the gain be allocated to these contracts. The Company recorded a contract liability based on relative fair value of $11.7 million in connection with this conclusion.

The following table details the consideration for the sale of the business, major classes of assets and liabilities included in the business sale and the gain on sale of a business:

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of August 31, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate there may be impairment. 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. No impairment losses were recognized for the periods ended September 30, 2022 or 2021.

Secured Credit Facilities

On November 27, 2018, EVERTEC and EVERTEC Group, LLC ("EVERTEC Group") (collectively, the “Borrower”) entered into a credit agreement providing for the secured credit facilities, consisting of a $220.0 million term loan A facility that matures on November 27, 2023 (the “2023 Term A Loan"), a $325.0 million term loan B facility that matures on November 27, 2024 (the “2024 Term B Loan”), and a $125.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) that matures on November 27, 2023, with a syndicate of lenders and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as administrative agent, collateral agent, swingline lender and line of credit issuer (collectively the “2018 Credit Agreement”).

The 2018 Credit Agreement requires mandatory repayment of outstanding principal balances based on a percentage of excess cash flow, provided that no such payment shall be due if the leverage ratio is below 1.75x or the resulting amount of the excess cash flow multiplied by the applicable percentage is less than $10 million. On March 8, 2021, in connection with this mandatory repayment clause, the Company repaid $17.8 million, as a result of excess cash flow calculation performed for the year ended December 31, 2020. No mandatory repayment was required in 2022 in connection with the excess cash flow calculation performed for the year ended December 31, 2021 as the leverage ratio was below 1.75x.

The unpaid principal balance at September 30, 2022 of the 2023 Term A Loan and the 2024 Term B Loan was $163.4 million and $294.2 million, respectively. The additional borrowing capacity under our Revolving Facility at September 30, 2022 was $119.1 million. The Company issues letters of credit against the Revolving Facility which reduce the additional borrowing capacity of the Revolving Facility.

Notes Payable

In December 2019, EVERTEC Group entered into two non-interest bearing financing agreements amounting to $2.4 million to purchase software and maintenance, which were fully repaid in January 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the outstanding principal balance of the notes payable was $0.8 million. These notes were included in accounts payable in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has accounted for this agreement as a cash flow hedge.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amount of the derivative included on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was an asset of $7.1 million and a liability $13.4 million, respectively. The fair value of this derivative is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy on a recurring basis. Refer to Note 8 for disclosure of losses recorded on cash flow hedging activities.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reclassified losses of $0.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense compared to $1.8 million and $5.3 million for the corresponding periods in 2021. Based on current LIBOR rates, the Company expects to reclassify gains of $3.4 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense over the next 12 months.

The cash flow hedge is considered highly effective.

Note 8 – Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Debt Securities Available for Sale

The fair value of debt securities is estimated based on observable inputs, therefore classified as a Level 2 asset within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of debt securities was $2.2 million and $3.0 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 respectively.

Derivative Instruments

The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap is estimated using Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. This derivative was in an asset position with a balance of $7.1 million as of September 30, 2022 and in a liability position with a balance of $13.4 million as of December 31, 2021.

Debt and Short-Term Borrowings

The fair values of the term loans at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were obtained using prices provided by third party service providers. Their pricing is based on various inputs such as market quotes, recent trading activity in a non-active market or imputed prices. These inputs are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. Also, the pricing may include the use of an algorithm that could take into account movements in the general high yield market, among other variants. The secured term loans are not accounted for at fair value in the balance sheets.

Note 10 – Share-based Compensation

Long-term Incentive Plan ("LTIP")

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Company's Board of Directors ("Board") approved grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to executives and certain employees pursuant to the 2020 LTIP, 2021 LTIP and 2022 LTIP, respectively, all under the terms of the Company's 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

On May 20, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the Company's shareholders approved the Company's 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan") which replaced the Company's 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. All shares remaining available for grant under the 2013 Plan as of the Effective Date plus any shares of common stock of the Company covered by outstanding awards under the 2013 Plan as of the Effective Date that again become available for grant pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Plan as of the Effective Date, to the extent the shares underlying such awards are not issued because they are forfeited or settled or terminate without distribution of shares of common stock of the Company became available for issuance under the 2022 Plan on the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Plan.

The vesting of the RSUs is dependent upon service and/or performance conditions as defined in the award agreements. Employees that received time-based awards with service conditions are entitled to receive a specific number of shares of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date if the employee provides services to the Company through the vesting date. Time-based awards vest over a period of three years in substantially equal installments commencing on the grant date and ending on February 27 of each year for the 2020 LTIP, March 2 of each year for the 2021 LTIP, and February 25 of each year for the 2022 LTIP. In 2022, the Company also granted time-based awards with a three year service vesting period which will cliff vest on February 25, 2025.

For the performance-based awards under the 2020 LTIP, 2021 LTIP, and 2022 LTIP, the Compensation Committee established adjusted earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") as the primary performance

Table of Contents

measure while maintaining focus on total shareholder return through the use of a market-based total shareholder return ("TSR") performance modifier. The Adjusted EBITDA measure is based on annual targets and can produce a payout between 0% and 200%. The TSR modifier adjusts the shares earned based on the core Adjusted EBITDA performance upwards or downwards (+/- 25%) based on the Company’s relative TSR at the end of the three-year performance period as compared to the companies in the Russell 2000 Index. The Adjusted EBITDA performance measure will be calculated for the one-year period commencing on January 1 of the year of the grant and ending on December 31 of the same year, relative to the goals set by the Compensation Committee for this same period. The shares earned will be subject to an additional two-year service vesting period and will vest on February 27, 2023 for the 2020 LTIP, March 2, 2024 for the 2021 LTIP, and February 25, 2025 for the 2022 LTIP. Unless otherwise specified in the award agreement, or in an employment agreement, awards are forfeited if the employee voluntarily ceases to be employed by the Company prior to vesting.

The following table summarizes nonvested RSUs activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022:


Nonvested RSUs	Shares	Weighted-average grant date fair value
Nonvested at December 31, 2021	1,086,329	$	34.73

The current portion of contract assets is recorded as part of prepaid expenses and other assets, and the long-term portion is included in other long-term assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts receivable, net as of September 30, 2022 amounted to $112.3 million. Contract liability and contract liability - long term at September 30, 2022 amounted to $17.1 million and $34.7 million, respectively, and may arise when consideration is received or due in advance from customers prior to performance. The contract liability is mainly comprised of upfront fees for implementation or set up activities, including fees charged in pre-production periods in connection with hosting services, as

well as amounts related to contracts entered into concurrently with the close of the Popular Transaction as described in Note 3- Business Acquisitions and Dispositions. Contract liabilities may also arise when consideration is received or due in advance from customers prior to performance. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $17.0 million and $29.0 million respectively that was included in the contract liability at December 31, 2021. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $5.3 million and $20.7 million that was included in the contract liability at December 31, 2020.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations

The estimated aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at September 30, 2022 is $1,061.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over the next 1 to 6 years. This amount consists of minimums on certain master services agreements, professional service fees for implementation or set up activities related to managed services and maintenance services typically recognized over the life of the contract, and professional service fees for customizations or development of on-premise licensing agreements, which are recognized over time based on inputs relative to the total expected inputs to satisfy a performance obligation.

Note 12 – Current Expected Credit Losses

Allowance for Current Expected Credit Losses

Trade receivables from contracts with customers are financial assets analyzed by the Company under the expected credit loss model. To measure expected credit losses, trade receivables are grouped based on shared risk characteristics (i.e., the relevant industry sector and customer's geographical location) and days past due (i.e., delinquency status), while considering the following:

•Customers in the same geographical location share similar risk characteristics associated with the macroeconomic environment of their country.

•The Company has two main industry sectors: private and governmental. The private pool is comprised mainly of leading financial institutions, merchants and corporations, while the governmental pool is comprised of government agencies. The governmental customers possess different risk characteristics than private customers because although all invoices are due 30 days after issuance, governmental customers usually pay within 60 to 90 days after issuance (i.e., approximately 30 to 60 more days than private customers).

•The expected credit loss rate is likely to increase as receivables move to older aging buckets. The Company used the following aging categories to estimate the risk of delinquency status: (i) 0 days past due; (ii) 1-30 days past due; (iii) 31-60 days past due; (iv) 61-90 days past due; and (v) over 90 days past due.

The credit losses of the Company’s trade receivables have been low historically and most balances are collected within one year. Therefore, the Company determined that the expected loss rates should be calculated using the historical loss rates adjusted by macroeconomic factors. The historical rates are calculated for each of the aging categories used for pooling trade receivables. To determine the collected portion of each bucket, the collection time of each trade receivable is identified, to estimate the proportion of outstanding balances per aging bucket that ultimately will not be collected. This is used to determine the expectation of losses based on the history of uncollected trade receivables once the specific past due period is surpassed. The historical rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of customers to settle the receivables by applying a country risk premium as the forward-looking macroeconomic factor. Specific reserves are established for certain customers for which collection is doubtful.

Rollforward of the Allowance for Expected Current Credit Losses

As of September 30, 2022, the Company has $113.3 million of unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries, compared to $99.1 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company has not recognized a deferred tax liability on undistributed earnings for the Company’s foreign subsidiaries because these earnings are intended to be indefinitely reinvested.

As of September 30, 2022, the gross deferred tax asset amounted to $18.6 million and the gross deferred tax liability amounted to $19.4 million, compared to $22.3 million and $16.3 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there is a valuation allowance against the gross deferred tax asset of approximately $1.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company released $3.6 million of the previously recorded Puerto Rico liability for uncertain tax positions related to the net operating loss created by transaction costs from mergers and acquisitions as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations.

Income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the Puerto Rico statutory income tax rate to the income before income taxes as a result of the following:

Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies

EVERTEC is a defendant in a number of legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on the opinion of legal counsel and other factors, management believes that the final disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows of the Company. The Company has identified certain claims as a result of which a loss may be incurred, but in the aggregate the loss would be insignificant. For other claims regarding proceedings that are in an initial phase, the Company is unable to estimate the range of possible loss, if any, but at this time believes that any loss related to such claims will not be material.

Note 16 – Related Party Transactions

In connection with closing of the Popular Transaction on July 1, 2022, the Company terminated the existing stockholder agreement with Popular, which granted Popular certain benefits as a shareholder of the Company. In addition, on August 15, 2022, through a secondary offering, Popular sold its remaining shares of common stock of Evertec and as of that date no longer holds any shares of Evertec common stock. Evertec is no longer considered a subsidiary of Popular under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Bank Holding Company Act"). Given both the termination of the stockholder agreement and that Popular is no longer a shareholder of EVERTEC, management concluded that Popular is no longer a related party as of August 15, 2022.

The following table presents the Company’s transactions with Popular while they were deemed a related party during 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021:

Note 17 – Segment Information

The Company operates in four business segments: Payment Services - Puerto Rico & Caribbean, Payment Services - Latin America, Merchant Acquiring, and Business Solutions.

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 point of sale ("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 and digital payment services to the government of Puerto Rico), 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 Payment Services - Latin America segment 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 and processing fees, and the leasing of POS devices and network fees. 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.

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 and management, 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.

In addition to the four operating segments described above, management identified certain functional cost areas that operate independently and do not constitute businesses in themselves. These areas could neither be concluded as operating segments nor could they be combined with any other operating segments. Therefore, these areas are aggregated and presented within the “Corporate and Other” category in the financial statements alongside the operating segments. The Corporate and Other category consists of corporate overhead expenses, intersegment eliminations, certain leveraged activities and other non-operating and miscellaneous expenses that are not included in the operating segments. The overhead and leveraged costs relate to activities such as:

•marketing,

•corporate finance and accounting,

•human resources,

•legal,

•risk management functions,

•internal audit,

•corporate debt related costs,

•non-operating depreciation and amortization expenses generated as a result of merger and acquisition activity,

•intersegment revenues and expenses, and

•other non-recurring fees and expenses that are not considered when management evaluates financial performance at a segment level

The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") reviews the operating segments separate financial information to assess performance and to allocate resources. Management evaluates the operating results of each of its operating segments based upon revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to operating segments, is presented in conformity with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, given that it is reported to the CODM for purposes of allocating resources. Segment asset disclosure is not used by the CODM as a measure of segment performance since the segment evaluation is driven by revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. As such, segment assets are not disclosed in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Executive Summary

EVERTEC is a leading full-service transaction-processing business in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and Latin America, providing a broad range of merchant acquiring, payment services and business process management services. We believe that we are one of the largest merchant acquirers in Latin America based on total number of transactions and the largest merchant acquirer in the Caribbean. We serve 26 countries out of 12 offices, including our headquarters in Puerto Rico. We own and operate the ATH network, one of the leading personal identification number ("PIN") debit and automated teller machine ("ATM") networks in the Caribbean and Latin America. We manage a system of electronic payment networks and offer a comprehensive suite of services for core banking, cash processing, and fulfillment in Puerto Rico, that process over three billion transactions annually. Additionally, we offer technology outsourcing in all the regions we serve. 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 American 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, win 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 leverage proprietary IP that enables us to be nimble and flexible when it comes to client and country requirements;

•Our ability to put forth Spanish speaking developers in front of our Spanish speaking customers making communication much more effective and integrations more efficient;

•Our ability to serve customers with disparate operations across 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).

Table of Contents

Our broad suite of services spans the entire transaction-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, 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 both organic and inorganic opportunities such as acquisitions, joint ventures and 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 negotiate 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.

Relationship with Popular

On September 30, 2010, EVERTEC Group entered into a 15-year MSA, and several related agreements with Popular. Under the terms of the MSA, Popular agreed to use Evertec services on an ongoing exclusive basis for the duration of the agreement. On July 1, 2022, we modified and extended the main commercial agreements with Popular, which had initial terms ending in 2025, including a 10-year extension of the Merchant Acquiring Independent Sales Organization Agreement (as amended, the “A&R ISO Agreement”), a 5-year extension of the ATH Network Participation Agreement and a 3-year extension of the MSA (the "A&R MSA Agreement"). The A&R ISO Agreement, which sets our merchant acquiring relationship with Popular, now includes revenue sharing provisions with Popular. The MSA modifications include the elimination of the exclusivity requirement, the inclusion of annual MSA minimums through September 30, 2028, a 10% fee discount on certain MSA services beginning in October of 2025 and adjustments to the existing 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. As part of this transaction, Popular agreed to take certain actions after closing to ensure that Evertec was no longer deemed a “subsidiary” of Popular for purposes of the Bank Holding Company Act by 90 days following the closing, including selling its shares of Evertec common stock in the open market and, if necessary, converting certain Evertec common stock into non-voting stock to reduce its voting interest to 4.5%. On August 15, 2022, through a secondary offering, Popular sold its remaining shares of Evertec common stock and as of this date no longer holds any shares of Evertec common stock. Evertec is no longer considered a subsidiary of Popular under the Bank Holding Company Act.

Revenues

Total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 were $145.8 million, relatively flat when compared with the prior year quarter. Revenue in Puerto Rico was negatively impacted by the close of the Popular Transaction, including the $6.9 million one-time credit granted upon closing. Revenues in the quarter were also negatively impacted by Hurricane Fiona, primarily the Company's Merchant Acquiring segment. These negative impacts were partially offset by the continued growth of the Company's digital solutions, specifically, ATH Movil Business, increased transaction volumes and one-time hardware and software sales. Additionally, the quarter benefited from revenue generated from the small acquisition completed in the second quarter. Latin America revenue reflected organic growth and revenue contribution from the BBR acquisition completed at the beginning of the quarter.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 amounted to $76.3 million, an increase of $13.3 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 cost of sales mainly due to the new revenue sharing agreement with Popular resulting from the Popular Transaction and costs incurred for hardware sales, an increase in personnel costs, mainly due to increased headcount in Latin America including the added headcount from the BBR acquisition, and an increase in printing supplies which have been impacted by the inflationary environment.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 amounted to $26.0 million, an increase of $8.9 million or 52% when compared to the same period in the prior year driven by an increase in professional fees related to corporate transactions, including the Popular Transaction related costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 amounted to $19.7 million, an increase of $1.0 million or 5% when compared to the same period in the prior year. Increased expense during the three months is driven by the amortization of intangible assets created in connection with acquisitions completed in 2022.

Non-operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 amounted to $123.0 million, an increase of $127.6 million when compared to the same period in the prior year, as it includes the gain from the Popular Transaction of $135.6 million. Non-operating expenses in the quarter also reflect a $7.8 million loss from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in US dollars, as well as a $1.1 million increase in interest expense due to rising interest rates.

Income Tax Expense

Table of Contents

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 amounted to $9.0 million, an increase of $1.9 million when compared to the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the period was 6.2%, compared with 16.8% in the 2021 period. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by the impact of the Popular Transaction which was taxed at a preferential tax rate and the impact from the reversal of a potential liability for uncertain tax positions as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitation, partially offset by the impact of higher revenues in higher taxed jurisdictions, a shift in the mix of business in Puerto Rico and higher withholding taxes.

Revenues

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $456.6 million, an increase of $22.1 million compared to $434.6 million in the prior year. Revenue in Puerto Rico benefited from increased payment transaction volumes in addition to continued growth in the Company's digital solutions, ATH Movil Business, as well as revenue generated from an acquisition completed in the second quarter. Revenue also benefited from the printing contract entered into in June 2021, one-time software sales, partially offset by the impacts from the Popular Transaction, including the $6.9 million one-time credit granted upon closing of the Popular Transaction. Latin America revenue reflected organic growth and the revenue contribution from the BBR acquisition.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 amounted to $215.2 million, an increase of $33.1 million or 18% when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in cost of revenues includes a $4.1 million impairment loss related to a multi-year software development recorded during the second quarter, as well as an increase in personnel costs, mainly due to increased headcount in Latin America including the added headcount from the BBR acquisition, higher equipment expenses for cloud services as utilization continues to grow, an increase in printing supply expense and an increase in cost of sales due to the same factors explained above for the quarter.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 amounted to $66.4 million, an increase by $16.5 million or 33% when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is driven by the same factors explained above for the quarter.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 amounted to $58.4 million, an increase of $2.3 million or 5% when compared to the same period in the prior year, mainly due to the same factors explained above for the quarter.

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 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 computer 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 that are becoming popular alternatives 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.

On July 1, 2022, we closed the previously announced Popular Transaction, which includes extensions and amendments to the main commercial agreements with Banco Popular. The extension of the A&R ISO Agreement includes a revenue sharing provision which will be treated as an expense and has resulted, and we expect will continue to result in a decline to the Merchant Acquiring Segment Adjusted EBITDA and margin. The extension of the MSA includes a reduction in the CPI cap from 5% to 1.5%, as well as a retroactive one-time credit for the 5% CPI price increase applied to certain services since October

Table of Contents

1, 2021 through closing, both of which negatively impacted our results of operations, and we expect will continue to negatively impact revenue and consequently, margin of our Business Solutions Segment and, to a lesser extent, the Payment Services – Puerto Rico Segment. Additionally, as part of the amendments to the MSA, there will be contractual revenue minimums through 2028. As part of the Popular Transaction, we also sold certain assets from our Business Solutions Segment to Banco Popular, which has resulted, and we expect will continue to result in a reduction in revenue and margin for this segment.

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 pressure and economic uncertainty in the markets in which we operate may affect consumer confidence which could result in a decrease in consumer spending and impact our financial results.

Segment Results of Operations

The Company operates in four business segments: Payment Services - Puerto Rico & Caribbean, Payment Services - Latin America, Merchant Acquiring, and Business Solutions.

Table of Contents

“Corporate and Other” category in the financial statements alongside the operating segments. The Corporate and Other category consists of corporate overhead expenses, intersegment eliminations, certain leveraged activities and other non-operating and miscellaneous expenses that are not included in the operating segments. The overhead and leveraged costs relate to activities such as:

•marketing,

•corporate finance and accounting,

•human resources,

•legal,

•risk management functions,

•internal audit,

•corporate debt related costs,

•non-operating depreciation and amortization expenses generated as a result of merger and acquisition activity,

•intersegment revenues and expenses, and

•other non-recurring fees and expenses that are not considered when management evaluates financial performance at a segment level.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") reviews the operating segments separate financial information to assess performance and to allocate resources. Management evaluates the operating results of each of its operating segments based upon revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to operating segments, is presented in conformity with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, given that it is reported to the CODM for purposes of allocating resources. Segment asset disclosure is not used by the CODM as a measure of segment performance since the segment evaluation is driven by revenues and adjusted EBITDA. As such, segment assets are not disclosed in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

Payment Services - Puerto Rico & Caribbean segment revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $5.8 million to $44.6 million when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in revenues was primarily driven by an increase in transaction volumes for POS processing, the ongoing growth from ATH Movil and ATH Business and an increase in issuing services. The revenue increase also includes the impact of the small acquisition completed in the second quarter. The segment continues to benefit from increases in transaction processing and monitoring revenue recognized for services provided to the Payment Services - Latin America Segment. These positive impacts were partially offset by the one-time credit granted to Popular. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $3.2 million to $25.0 million driven by the increase in revenues partially offset by higher operating expenses.

Payment Services - Latin America segment revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $6.9 million to $33.7 million driven mainly by organic growth in all regions as well as revenue generated from the BBR acquisition completed at the beginning of the quarter. Furthermore, revenues benefited by an increase in intercompany software developments and transaction processing revenue recognized for services provided to the Payment Services - Puerto Rico & Caribbean segment. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $6.8 million primarily due to a $7.8 million loss from foreign currency remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in US dollars and an increase in personnel costs, mainly due to higher headcount, as well as increases in fees for transaction processing and monitoring services from the Payment Services - Puerto Rico & Caribbean segment as more transactions are processed in our centralized platforms.

Merchant Acquiring segment revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $0.7 million as the prior year quarter benefited from COVID related federal stimulus and the current year quarter reflects a shift in the mix of sales volume impacting our spread per transaction as well as the negative impact from Hurricane Fiona estimated to be approximately $1.0 million, partially offset by certain pricing initiatives implemented in the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $5.4 million driven by lower revenues, in addition to higher operating expenses, driven by the revenue sharing agreement with Popular as well as increased transaction processing costs resulting from lower average ticket per transaction.

Business Solutions segment revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $8.8 million to $49.3 million primarily driven by the impact from the Popular Transaction, specifically, the one-time credit granted to Popular upon closing amounting to $6.3 million and the impact from the sale of assets to Popular which the Company estimates at $30 million annually. These negative impacts were partially offset by revenue generated from projects completed in connection with closing of the Popular Transaction. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $9.8 million to $16.3 million driven by the decrease in revenues as well as an increase in cost of sales and operating expenses, mainly cloud services and printing supplies, the latter of which has been impacted by the inflationary environment.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $6.8 million as the increase in revenues was entirely offset by an increase in operating expenses driven by the impact of the revenue sharing agreement with Popular that began on July 1, 2022 and higher transaction processing costs as a result of a lower average ticket.

Business Solutions segment revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $2.8 million to $176.6 million primarily due to the same factors explained above for the quarter. Partially offsetting these negative impacts was the benefit from higher transactions and account volumes, contribution from the printing contract that began generating revenue in June of 2021, and one-time software and hardware sales. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $10.6 million to $75.7 million as a result of the decrease in revenue, the impact from the sale of higher margin assets included in the Popular Transaction and an increase in cost of sales in connection with hardware sales completed during the year and operating expenses, mainly printing supplies expense that has been impacted by the inflationary environment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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, debt service, dividend payments and share repurchases. We also have a $125.0 million Revolving Facility, of which $119.1 million was available for borrowing as of September 30, 2022. The Company issues letters of credit against our Revolving Facility which reduce our availability of funds to be drawn.

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $225.0 million, of which $111.5 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 indefinitely 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.

Based on our current level of operations, we believe our cash flows from operations and the available secured Revolving Facility will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months. 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.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $159.0 million compared to $175.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The $16.8 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities is primarily driven by the effects from the sale of a business to Popular and the one-time credit granted to them upon closing, partially offset by an increase in collections from accounts receivable and less cash used to pay down accounts payable and accrued liabilities as the Company continues to effectively manage working capital .

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $106.0 million compared to $60.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The $45.7 million increase is driven by the BBR acquisition closed on July 1, 2022 for $44.4 million and a $7.3 million purchase of certificates of deposit, which were transferred upon closing of the BBR

Table of Contents

acquisition, partially offset by lower capital expenditures of $1.2 million, proceeds from the maturity of available-for-sale debt securities of $1.0 million, as well as a decrease in acquisitions of customer relationships given that the prior year acquisition amounted to $14.8 million while the acquisition in the current year amounted to $10.6 million.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $99.5 million compared to $74.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The $25.4 million increase was mainly attributed to an increase in cash used to repurchase shares of our common stock of $48.1 million, partially offset by a decrease of $18.6 million in cash used to pay down long-term debt as in the prior year, in connection with the mandatory repayment clause, the Company repaid $17.8 million, as a result of excess cash flow calculation performed, while no mandatory repayment was required in the current year, and a $3.1 million decrease in withholding taxes paid on share-based compensation.

Capital Resources

Our principal capital expenditures are for hardware and computer software (purchased and internally developed) and additions to property and equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company invested approximately $44.6 million and $43.4 million, respectively. Additionally the Company acquired a business for $44.4 million, net of cash acquired, as well as $7.3 million in certificates of deposit in connection with this business acquisition in 2022. The Company acquired customer relationships amounting to $10.6 million and $14.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In 2021 acquired $3.0 million in available-for-sale debt securities. Generally, we fund capital expenditures with cash flow generated from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under our Revolving Facility.

Dividend Payments

On February 15, 2022, April 21, 2022 and July 28, 2022, respectively the Board declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.05 per share of common stock, which were paid on March 25, 2022, June 3, 2022 and September 2, 2022, respectively, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 25, 2022, May 2, 2022 and August 8, 2022, respectively.

On October 20, 2022, our Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share on the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. The dividend will be paid on December 2, 2022 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 1, 2022. The Board anticipates declaring this dividend in future quarters on a regular basis; however, future declarations of dividends are subject to the Board’s approval and may be adjusted as business needs or market conditions change.

Financial Obligations

Secured Credit Facilities

On November 27, 2018, EVERTEC and EVERTEC Group (“Borrower”) entered into a credit agreement providing for the secured credit facilities, consisting of a $220.0 million term loan A facility that matures on November 27, 2023 (the “2023 Term A Loan”), a $325.0 million term loan B facility that matures on November 27, 2024 (the “2024 Term B Loan”), and a $125.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) that matures on November 27, 2023, with a syndicate of lenders and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as administrative agent, collateral agent, swingline lender and line of credit issuer (collectively the “2018 Credit Agreement”).

The 2018 Credit Agreement requires mandatory repayment of outstanding principal balances based on a percentage of excess cash flow, provided that no such payment shall be due if the resulting amount of the excess cash flow multiplied by the applicable percentage is less than $10 million or if the leverage ratio is below 1.75x. On March 8, 2021, in connection with this mandatory repayment clause, the Company repaid $17.8 million, as a result of excess cash flow calculation performed for the year ended December 31, 2020. No mandatory repayment was required in the first quarter of 2022 in connection with the excess cash flow calculation performed for the year ended December 31, 2021 as the leverage ratio was below 1.75x.

The Company has accounted for this agreement as a cash flow hedge.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amount of the derivative included on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was an asset of $7.1 million and a liability of $13.4 million, respectively. The fair value of this derivative is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy on a recurring basis. Refer to Note 7 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for disclosure of losses recorded on cash flow hedging activities.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company reclassified losses of $0.4 and $3.5 million respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense compared to $1.8 million and $5.3 million for the corresponding periods in 2021. Based on current LIBOR rates, the Company expects to reclassify gains of $3.4 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense over the next 12 months.

The cash flow hedge is considered highly effective.

Covenant Compliance

As of September 30, 2022, our secured leverage ratio was 1.41 to 1.00, as determined in accordance with the 2018 Credit Agreement. As of the date of filing of this Report, no event has occurred that constitutes an Event of Default or Default under our 2018 Credit Agreement.

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

We define “EBITDA” as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments described below. Adjusted EBITDA by segment 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 Topic 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. We define “Adjusted Net Income” as net income adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments described below. We define “Adjusted Earnings per common share” as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted shares outstanding.

We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we consider them important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of ourselves and other companies in our industry. In addition, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is substantially consistent with the equivalent measurements that are contained in the senior secured credit facilities in testing EVERTEC Group’s compliance with covenants therein such as the secured leverage ratio. We use Adjusted Net Income to measure our overall profitability because we believe better reflects our 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 we may incur expenses such as those excluded in calculating them. Further, our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future operating results will not be affected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

Table of Contents

Some of the limitations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted earnings per common share are as follows:

•they do not reflect cash outlays for capital expenditures or future contractual commitments;

•they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital;

•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements;

•in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, they do not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest, or principal payments, on indebtedness;

•in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, they do not reflect income tax expense or the cash necessary to pay income taxes; and

•other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings per common share or may calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share differently than as presented in this Report, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share are not measurements of liquidity or financial performance under GAAP. You should not consider EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of cash flows, as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to operating or net income determined in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share is provided below:

Seasonality

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

Effect of Inflation

General inflation in the geographies in which we operate has risen to levels that have not been experienced in recent years, however, inflation has historically had a minimal net effect on our operating results given that overall inflation has been offset by sales and cost reduction actions. Rising prices for input costs, including wages and benefits, occupancy and general administrative costs, could potentially have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition which may not be readily recoverable from our customers. In addition, inflation has driven a rising interest rate environment, which has had an adverse effect on our cost of funding, as well as led to enhanced volatility on foreign currency exchange rates. While we proactively try to mitigate these rising costs, we may not be able to fully offset these impacts and these could result in negative effect on our results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks arising from our normal business activities. These market risks principally involve the possibility of changes in interest rates that will adversely affect the value of our financial assets and liabilities or future cash flows and earnings. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices.

Interest Rate Risks

We issued floating-rate debt which is subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Our secured credit facilities accrue interest at variable rates and only the 2024 Term B Loan is subject to a floor or a minimum rate. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates over our floor(s) on our debt balances outstanding as of September 30, 2022, under the secured credit facilities, would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $2.1 million. The impact on future interest expense as a result of future changes in interest rates will depend largely on the gross amount of our borrowings at that time.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company has an interest rate swap agreement, entered into in December 2018, which converts a portion of our outstanding variable rate debt to fixed.

The interest rate swap exposes us to credit risk in the event that the counterparty to the swap agreement does not or cannot meet its obligations. The notional amount is used to measure interest to be paid or received and does not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The loss would be limited to the amount that would have been received, if any, over the remaining life of the swap. The counterparty to the swap is a major US based financial institution and we expect the counterparty to be able to perform its obligations under the swap. We use derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes only and not for trading or speculative purposes

See Note 7 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the secured credit facilities.

Table of Contents

Foreign Exchange Risk

We conduct business in certain countries in Latin America for which we have determined that the functional currency is other than the US dollar. Given this, our operating results are exposed to volatility due to fluctuations in exchange rates for the countries' functional currencies. Non-functional currency transactions are remeasured into the functional currency which results in a foreign exchange gain or loss recorded through Other income (expenses). For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 202, the Company recognized foreign currency remeasurement losses of $6.9 million and gains of $0.7 million, respectively. For subsidiaries whose local currency is their functional currency, their assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates in effect during the period. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $36.2 million in an unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustment as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss compared with an unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustment of $36.0 million as of December 31, 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, under the direction of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-Q, disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a -15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are defendants in various lawsuits or arbitration proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes, based on the opinion of legal counsel and other factors, that the aggregated liabilities, if any, arising from such actions will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations and the cash flows of the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022. For a discussion of the potential risks and uncertainties related to us, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022 are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Banco Popular, our largest customer, is controlled by Popular, and the elimination of Popular's ownership of our common stock could adversely affect us.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 42% of our revenue was attributable to Banco Popular, a wholly owned subsidiary of Popular. Prior to closing the Popular Transaction on July 1, 2022, Popular owned approximately 17.5% of our common stock and historically had substantial influence over our policies and management. In connection with the closing of the Popular Transaction, Popular delivered 4.6 million shares of Evertec common stock that were owned by Popular in exchange for certain assets of EVERTEC Group, and the Company also modified and extended its main commercial agreements with Banco Popular. Furthermore, effective as of July 1, 2022, the stockholders agreement dated April 17, 2012 with Popular, which had granted them certain benefits as a shareholder of the Company, was terminated. On August 15, 2022, through a secondary offering, Popular sold its remaining shares of Evertec common stock and as of this date no longer holds any shares of our common stock. Evertec is no longer deemed a subsidiary of Popular under the Bank Holding Company Act.

The elimination of Popular's holdings of our common stock and the modification to commercial arrangements with Banco Popular may negatively impact our business relationship with Banco Popular and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and could materially adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
