NOTE 1 – GENERAL OVERVIEW

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

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

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (hereafter – U.S. GAAP) and include the accounts of Payoneer Global Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated interim financial information herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of Payoneer Global Inc. and its subsidiaries.

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

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

c. Customer funds and investments:

Beginning in February 2024, the Company invested certain customer funds in available-for-sale debt securities. These securities are reported at fair value, net of any unamortized discount or premium, accrued interest, and unrealized gains and losses, within ‘Customer funds’ on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”), net of related estimated tax provisions or benefits. Interest income, amortization of any discount or premium, and realized gains and losses on these securities are recognized within revenue from other sources. In the period of sale, any unrealized gain or loss previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) is reversed.

The Company accounts for purchases and sales of securities on the trade date and recognizes any related cut-off asset or liability within other current assets or other payables, respectively.

​

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

d. Derivatives and Hedging

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk due to operating expenses denominated in New Israeli Shekels. To reduce that risk, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts and net purchased options to hedge foreign currency risk related to its foreign operations in Israel. The company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company designates derivatives as hedges of forecasted transactions (“cash flow” hedges) or derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. To qualify for hedge accounting treatment, a derivative must be highly effective in mitigating the designated risk of the hedged item. Effectiveness of the hedge is formally assessed at inception and throughout the life of the hedging relationship. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of derivative contracts on a quarterly basis by comparing the critical terms of the derivative instruments with the critical terms of the forecasted cash flows of the hedged item; if the critical terms are the same, the Company concludes the hedge will be perfectly effective. The Company does not exclude any component of the changes in fair value of the derivative instruments from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

To the extent that derivatives qualify as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value are recorded, net of applicable taxes, in OCI and subsequently reclassified into the same statement of comprehensive income line item as the hedged exposure when the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. The cash flows associated with derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Derivatives that are not designated hedges are adjusted to fair value into earnings through financial income or expense. The cash flows associated with these derivatives, if any, are reported in cash flows from investing activities.

e. Recently issued accounting pronouncements:

FASB Standards issued, but not adopted as of March 31, 2024

In 2023, the FASB issued guidance, ASU 2023-09, which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). It also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments (net of refunds received) to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In 2023, the FASB issued guidance, ASU 2023-07, that requires entities to report incremental information about significant segment expenses included in a segment’s profit or loss measure as well as the name and title of the chief operating decision maker. The guidance also requires interim disclosures related to reportable segment profit or loss and assets that had previously only been disclosed annually. The amendments also require entities with a single reportable segment to provide all disclosures required by these amendments, and all existing segment disclosures. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and must be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 4 – CUSTOMER FUNDS AND INVESTMENTS

​

Beginning in February 2024, the Company invested certain customer funds in available-for-sale debt securities. The following table summarizes the assets underlying customer funds as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

​

​

As of March 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of these available-for-sale debt securities included the following unrealized gains and losses. All of the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities at March 31, 2024 were due mature within one year or less:

​

​

As of March 31, 2024, the gross unrealized losses and estimated fair value of our available-for-sale debt securities included within customer funds for which an allowance for credit losses was not deemed necessary in the current period, aggregated by the length of time those individual securities have been in a continuous loss position, was as follows:

​

​

Unrealized losses have not been recognized into income as the Company neither intends to sell, nor anticipates that it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. The decline in fair value is due primarily to changes in market interest rates, rather than credit losses. The Company will continue to monitor the performance of the investment portfolio and assess whether impairment due to expected credit losses has occurred. During the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not sell any available-for-sale debt securities or incur any realized gains or losses.

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

​

The table below summarizes the gross notional amount and fair value of outstanding derivative instruments at March 31, 2024. No derivative instruments were outstanding at December 31, 2023.

​

​

The following table provides the location in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and amount of realized gains or losses related to the Company’s derivative instruments during the three months ended March 31, 2024. No gains or losses on derivative instruments were realized during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

​

​

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $34 in unrealized gains on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in OCI.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company estimated that $34 of unrealized gains related to cash flow hedges currently included in AOCI are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2024, the maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 6 months. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not discontinue any cash flow hedges because it was probable that the original forecasted transaction would not occur and as such, did not reclassify any gains or losses to earnings prior to the occurrence of the hedged transaction.

​

​

​

​

​

The Company’s derivative instruments are valued using pricing models that take into account the contract terms and relevant currency rates.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair values of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, customer funds (other than the portion consisting of available-for-sale debt securities), restricted cash, accounts receivable, capital advance receivables, accounts payable, outstanding operating balances, and long-term debt approximated the carrying values of these instruments presented in the Company's consolidated balance sheets because of their nature. The fair value of long-term debt, when carrying value does not approximate fair value, is determined using Level 3 unobservable inputs and assumptions by the Company.

NOTE 11 – DEBT

On October 28, 2021, Payoneer Early Payments Inc. (“PEPI”), a wholly-owned second tier subsidiary of the Company and its subsidiary (the “Borrower”) entered into a Receivables and Loan Security Agreement (the “Warehouse Facility”) with Viola Credit VI, L.P. (currently known as Viola Credit ALF II, L.P.), Viola Credit Alternative Lending FNX SPV, L.P. (the “Lenders”) and Viola Credit Alternative Lending Management 2018 L.P. (collectively, the “Parties”) for the purpose of external financing of Capital Advance activity. The Company notes that the Lenders are related parties through the Company’s Board of Directors’ chairman’s ownership interest in the Lenders. Refer to Note 20 for further information regarding related party considerations.

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

The Warehouse Facility agreement stipulates a borrowing base calculated at an advance rate of 80% out of the eligible portfolio outstanding receivables balance.

As of July 1, 2023, the Warehouse Facility bears interest at the sum of the Daily Simple SOFR and 0.26161% plus:

• 9.00% per annum if the commitment amount is $25,000;
• 7.75% per annum if the commitment amount is $50,000;
• 7.50% per annum if the commitment amount is $75,000;
• 7.00% per annum if the commitment amount is $100,000.

Prior to July 1, 2023, interest on the facility was calculated as the greater of 0.25% or LIBOR plus the additional percentage amounts per annum based on commitment amount noted above.

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

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

NOTE 13 – WARRANTS AND SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Share Repurchase Program and Treasury Stock

On May 7, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program that provides for the repurchase of up to $80,000 of its common stock, including any applicable excise tax. On December 7, 2023, the Board authorized an amendment to the program to increase the authorized amount of repurchases to an aggregate amount not to exceed $250,000, including the amount that remained available as of December 7, 2023 to repurchase common stock under, but not any prior repurchases effected pursuant to, the previous authorization. The amended authorization expires December 31, 2025.

The program is intended to offset the impact of dilution from the issuance of new shares as part of employee compensation programs.

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

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 10,533,934 shares of its common stock for approximately $51,160 at a weighted average cost of $4.84 per share, respectively.

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued):

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Payoneer Guangzhou seeks to purchase the Licenseholder, and placed approximately $4 million in escrow in October 2023, representing a small portion of the agreed upon consideration for the purchase. In the event of termination of the agreement, such escrow amount will be returned to Payoneer Guangzhou, and in the event of a successful transaction, it will be applied to the full purchase price. The closing of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and termination provisions provided for in the agreement, as well as, governmental registrations and approvals, including the approval of the Transaction by the PBoC, and timing is uncertain.

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

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

NOTE 18 - INCOME TAXES

The Company applies an estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date operating results to determine the interim provision for income tax expense. In addition, the Company recognizes taxes related to unusual or infrequent items or resulting from a change in judgement regarding a position taken in a prior year as discrete items in the interim period in which the event occurs.

The Company had an effective tax rate of 32% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to an effective tax rate of 54% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% was the result of foreign income taxed at different rates, as well as an increase in the provision for uncertain tax positions.

The Company maintains a valuation allowance in jurisdictions where it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, the Company evaluates factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings and the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences. As of March 31, 2024, the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets in Germany and maintains its previous conclusion that a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in the United States and Israel is not necessary.

NOTE 19 – NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

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

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

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

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

Overview

Payoneer is a financial technology company purpose-built to enable the world’s small and medium-sized businesses (“SMB(s)”) to grow and operate their businesses around the world by reliably and securely connecting them to the global digital economy. Payoneer’s financial stack makes it easier for millions of SMBs, particularly in emerging markets, to access global demand and supply, pay and get paid, and manage their cross border and other needs from a single platform. Our financial stack provides a full suite of cross-border accounts receivable (AR) and accounts payable (AP) capabilities, and includes services such as working capital and the provision of data-driven insights. Payoneer’s core value proposition is that we remove the complexity and barriers of doing business across borders for our customers. With a multi-currency Payoneer Account, businesses around the world can serve and transact with their overseas customers, suppliers, vendors, and partners as if they were local.

We primarily generate revenues when Payoneer customers use the funds in their Payoneer account to make a payment, to make a purchase or to withdraw the funds locally. For our Business to Business (“B2B”) and Direct to Consumer (“DTC”) customers, we also in certain circumstances generate revenue on their AR, such as when they invoice a customer or collect payments via their webstore. Additionally, given the high interest rate environment, interest earned on customer funds held on our platform has been a significant source of revenue. Our long-term strategy is centered on growing the number of customers on our platform who fit our ideal customer profile, namely – those who are customers that have on average over $500 a month in volume and were active over the trailing twelve-month period, and on increasing the revenue we earn from each customer. We believe that successful execution of this strategy will drive revenue growth as (i) adding new customers who meet our ideal customer profile, improving retention, and increasing our product offerings to capture more wallet share will drive greater ad valorem volume of transactions processed through the Payoneer platform; and (ii) introducing new products and services and increasing customer adoption of additional products and services will improve our monetization of customers over time. Volume is one of the primary drivers for our revenue growth. See “Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.

Our customers have trusted the Payoneer platform to process $18.5 billion and $15.3 billion in volume in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

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

Key Developments and Trends

Impact of the war in Israel

In October 2023, in response to Hamas’ attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip, Israel declared war on Hamas. Concurrently, hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah ensued in the Israeli northern border. Despite the ongoing war, we have continued to operate our business and serve our customers around the world and, to date, our ability to support customers has not been materially impacted. We are monitoring the situation closely and benefit from our broad geographic footprint, partially outsourced operations model, and a robust business continuity plan. Additionally, our technology infrastructure has redundancy in place outside of Israel. Approximately 60% of our global employee base is located in Israel, including approximately 85% of our research and development resources. At this time, an insignificant portion of our Israeli workforce have been called to military reserve duty and we have contingencies in place to cover impacted roles and responsibilities.

The evolving conflict is likely to continue to impact economic activity in the region and could impact revenues from customers located in Israel. Our revenue derived from customers based in Israel was insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and is included within revenues from Europe in Note 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The situation in the region remains highly uncertain and there is the possibility that the conflict could worsen or expand which could, in turn, further impact economic conditions in Israel and in the broader region. At this time, it is difficult to assess the impact the war may have on our future results of operations. Any further escalation, expansion, or prolonged continuation of the ongoing conflict has the potential to impact our operations locally as well as to negatively impact the broader global economy and may have a material effect on our results of operations.

Impact of the war in Ukraine

During 2022, a geopolitical and armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which developed into an ongoing war, resulted in economic sanctions on Russia, Belarus, and certain territories in Ukraine. We provide services to customers in Ukraine and in jurisdictions that are or may be impacted by these economic sanctions. We have developed and implemented a robust transaction monitoring program designed to comply with imposed sanctions and to monitor the impact the conflict may have on our results of operations. During 2022, we ceased to provide services to customers in Russia and have limited our payment services to Belarus customers, while at the same time revenues in Ukraine have remained relatively stable. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Ukraine and Belarus, combined, accounted for less than 10% of our revenue, of which Belarus accounted for less than 1% of our revenue. Further escalation of the conflict may have a material effect on our results of operations.

Macroeconomic Conditions

Macroeconomic conditions, including geopolitical and other global events, that impact consumer and business spending and behavior, such as, but not limited to, the interest rate environment, inflation, local political instability, global health crises, supply chain dislocations, regional and other conflicts, including the ongoing war in Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war, disruptions and instability in the banking sector, may impact our customers, providers, banking partners and ultimately the amount of volume processed on our platform which may affect our results of operations. In 2023, we saw a significant increase in the interest income revenue we earn on our customer funds as the U.S. Federal Reserve raised the benchmark interest rate by 525 basis points since 2022. While there remains a great deal of uncertainty around the future timing and magnitude of interest rate cuts, we do expect to see a negative impact from declining interest rates over the medium-term.

Results of Operations

The period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations have been prepared using the historical periods in our condensed consolidated financial statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related Notes included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

**Not meaningful​

Revenues

Revenues were $228.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $36.2 million, or 19%, compared to the prior-year period, driven mainly by an increase of $15.2 million in interest income earned on customer balances resulting from rising interest rates and an increase in customer balances held on our platform. The remaining increase was driven by a combination of continued adoption of our high value services, certain monetization initiatives, ongoing growth in high value regions, and growth in the number of customers on our platform.

Transaction costs

Transaction costs were $34.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $6.9 million, or 25%, compared to the prior-year period, which is broadly in line with the 21% increase in volume.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses were $40.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.2 million, or 0.5%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by an increase of $2.7 million in information technology expenses partially offset by a decrease of $1.8 million in employee compensation, benefits and other employee-related expenses primarily due to a decrease in employee headcount.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses were $32.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $2.8 million, or 9%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by an increase of $6.3 million in employee compensation, benefits and other employee-related expenses in line with an increase in employee headcount, an increase of $1.5 million in information technology expenses, partially offset by an increase of $4.8 million in employee compensation costs capitalized as internal use software in connection with ongoing investments in our platform infrastructure.

PAYONEER GLOBAL INC.

​

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses were $49.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $2.1 million, or 4%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by an increase of $1.2 million in marketplace partner commissions, an increase of $2.6 million in spend on certain direct marketing spend and an increase of $1.3 million in third-party contractor and consulting expenses, offset by a decrease of $3.5 million in employee compensation, benefits and other employee-related expenses primarily due to a decrease in employee headcount.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $24.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 9%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by a decrease of $3.6 million in employee compensation, benefits and other employee-related expenses primarily due to a decrease in employee headcount, offset by an increase of $1.5 million in M&A related legal expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expenses

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $3.4 million, or 56%, compared to the prior-year period, mainly driven by an increase in amortization of internal use of software.

Financial income and expense, net

Financial income, net was $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $2.4 million, or 115%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by a $1.8 million gain from the change in the fair value of warrants compared to a $0.3 million loss in the prior year period, an increase of $1.6 million in interest income on corporate cash balances, offset by a $1.0 million increase in loss on revaluation of foreign currency balances.

Income tax

Income tax expense was $13.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $4.7 million, or 52%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, driven by an increase of $7.6 million in our US federal and state income tax expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior-year period. This increase was driven by increased US taxable income, primarily due to interest income and capitalized research and development expenses, as well as an increase in uncertain tax positions. These increases were offset by a net increase in US deferred tax benefits of $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

​

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

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

Sources of Liquidity

As of March 31, 2024, we had $587.2 million of cash and cash equivalents.

On October 28, 2021, Payoneer Early Payments Inc. (“PEPI”), our wholly-owned second tier subsidiary and its subsidiary (the “Borrower”) entered into a multi-party Receivables Loan and Security Agreement (the “Warehouse Facility”) with, inter alia, affiliates of Viola Ventures. The objective was to provide access to external financing for our capital advance activity. See Note 11 and Note 20 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Effective July 1, 2023, the Warehouse Facility interest rate was updated to the sum of the Daily Simple SOFR and 0.26161% plus 9% annually. The Warehouse Facility has a revolving maturity of 36 months from the commencement date with a payback period of an additional 6 months after the revolving maturity date. The initial borrowing commitment is $25 million subject to increases at our request and the lender’s discretion up to $100 million. Additional commitments will carry interest rates ranging from 7% to 7.75% in addition to the benchmark rate. In addition, pursuant to the Warehouse Facility, PEPI entered into an amendment on June 8, 2022, whereby creating a condition that the total interest rate shall not exceed 10.5% per annum for all outstanding balances.

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

Current and Future Cash Requirements

On May 7, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program that provides for the repurchase of up to $80 million of our common stock, including any applicable excise tax. On December 7, 2023, the Board authorized an amendment to the program to increase the authorized amount of repurchases to an aggregate amount not to exceed $250 million, including the amount that remained available as of December 7, 2023 to repurchase common stock under, but not any prior repurchases effected pursuant to, the previous authorization. The amended authorization expires December 31, 2025.

During the period ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased 10,533,934 shares of our common stock for approximately $51.2 million, of which $1.7 million was not yet settled at period end. As of March 31, 2024, a total of approximately $189 million remained available for future repurchases of our common stock under the program.

Cash Flows

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

​

PAYONEER GLOBAL INC.

​

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $39.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $35.6 million compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had $29.0 million of net income, which includes non-cash expenses of $15.1 million related to stock-based compensation and $9.4 million related to depreciation and amortization. Net income was also adjusted for changes in current assets and liabilities, including net outflows of $12.5 million related to other payables and $6.6 million related to capital advances. These outflows were partially offset by inflows of $2.7 million related to other long-term liabilities and $2.3 million related to operating lease right-of-use assets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had $7.9 million of net income, which includes non-cash expenses of $16.9 million related to stock-based compensation and $6.0 million related to depreciation and amortization. Net income was also adjusted for changes in current assets and liabilities, including net outflows of $10.1 million related to trade payables, $10.4 million related to other payables, $8.2 million related to other current assets, and $4.9 million related to capital advances. Other miscellaneous net inflows amounted to $6.7 million for the period.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $114.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $57.1 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $57.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

This change was predominantly related to the net purchase of $98.6 million in investments offset by a decrease of $53.8 million in the balance of customer funds in transit at the current period end compared to the prior year period.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $521.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $156.6 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $364.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Current period cash used in financing activities reflects the decline in customer balances since year end which was higher than the decline in the prior year period. Additionally, $51.0 million was used in the current period to finance our share repurchase program which had not begun in the prior year period.

Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

Volume

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

​

Note: as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024, we have updated our methodology to adjust for previously disclosed limited exceptions where both received and sent payments were counted in volumes, such that we count volume only once for a customer that both receives and later sends payments.

Volume grew 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, driven by a combination of continued growth in volumes from our largest digital commerce marketplaces, strong growth in B2B volumes, strong travel demand, and continued customer acquisition.

PAYONEER GLOBAL INC.

​

Revenue

We generate revenues mainly from transaction fees, which vary based on the type of service the customer utilizes. Transaction fee revenue principally consists of fees for withdrawals and usage. We also earn revenues in certain instances from volumes coming into the platform related to our B2B services and through our Checkout offering. We generate significant revenues from interest earned on customer funds held on our platform. In addition, we generate revenue from non-volume-based products and services which are based on a fixed fee. We believe that Revenue demonstrates our ability to monetize volume activity on our platform. Our revenues can be impacted by the following:

(i) Mix in customer size, products, and services;

(ii) Mix between domestic and cross-border transactions;

(iii) Geographic region or country in which a transaction occurs; and

(iv) Pricing and other market conditions including interest rates.

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

Adjusted EBITDA

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

Adjusted EBITDA

(1) Represents non-cash charges associated with stock-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.

(2) Amounts relate to M&A-related third-party fees, including related legal, consulting and other expenditures.

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

​

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Our cash and cash equivalents as well as customer funds as of March 31, 2024, were held in cash deposits and money market funds, as well as U.S. Treasury Securities classified as available-for-sale debt securities. The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents as well as assets underlying customer funds would not be significantly affected by either an increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of these instruments. However, a hypothetical 1% increase or decrease in interest rates could have a material effect on our revenues and earnings.

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

Foreign Currency Risk

While most of our revenue is earned in U.S. dollars, our foreign currency exposure includes currencies of the countries in which our operations are located, including operating expenses denominated in New Israeli Shekels. To reduce that risk, in January 2024, we began investing in foreign currency forward contracts and net purchased options, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges as described in Note 2d and Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. A hypothetical 10% strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar against the New Israeli Shekel would have had a material impact on unrealized gains (losses) recognized in AOCI at March 31, 2024.

Our foreign currency exposure also includes currencies in which our customer funds are held and may be subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Chinese Yuan, Canadian Dollar, New Zealand Dollar, Thai Baht, New Israeli Shekel, Philippine Peso, Pakistani Rupee, UAE Dirham, Korean Won, Mexican Peso, Norwegian Krone, and Hong Kong Dollar. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in current exchange rates could have a material impact on our financial results.

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

​

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024.

PAYONEER GLOBAL INC.

​

Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

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