Nuvei Corporation
Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2022 and 2021
(in thousands of US dollars, except for share and per share amounts)
1. Reporting entity
Nuvei Corporation (“Nuvei” or the “Company”) is a global payment company providing payment solutions to businesses across North America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Latin America and Asia Pacific and is domiciled in Canada with its registered office located at 1100 René-Lévesque Blvd., 9th floor, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Nuvei is the ultimate parent of the group and was incorporated on September 1, 2017 under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”).
The Company's Subordinate Voting Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbols "NVEI" and on the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "NVEI".
2. Basis of preparation and consolidation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Certain information and disclosures have been omitted or condensed. The accounting policies and methods of computation described in the annual audited consolidated financial statements were applied consistently in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 8, 2022.
Operating segment
The Company has one reportable segment for the provision of payment technology solutions to merchants and partners.
Seasonality of interim operations
The operations of the Company can be seasonal, and the results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of operations for the full year or any future period.
Estimates, judgments and assumptions
The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The significant estimates, judgments and assumptions made by management are the same as those applied and described in the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 except those described below. Actual results may differ from these estimates, judgments and assumptions.
Fair value of services rendered
When issuing share-based payments in exchange for services rendered by an external party, the Company estimates the fair value of the instruments granted by reference to the fair value of services rendered by the external party, if the services can be measured reliably, instead of the fair value of the equity instrument granted.

3. Significant accounting policies and new accounting standards
The accounting policies used in these interim financial statements are consistent with those applied by the Company in its December 31, 2021 audited annual consolidated financial statements except for those described below.
Share capital repurchase
On March 7, 2022, the Board approved a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") to purchase for cancellation Subordinate Voting Shares. When the Company controls the amount and timing of the repurchase being made, the Company recognizes the share capital repurchase on the trade date. For each share repurchased and cancelled, the Company reduces share capital by the weighted average cost of the related category of shares and any difference between the amount paid, including transaction costs, and the weighted average cost of the related category of shares is recorded directly in retained earnings.
When the Company enters into an agreement under which it has a contractual obligation to purchase its own shares, subject to certain pre-determined limitations, the Company initially records this obligation as a financial liability at the current fair market value with a corresponding reduction of equity. The share purchase liability is carried at fair market value until it is settled or upon termination of the agreement, with change in fair value being recognized in the finance costs line item in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
New accounting standards and interpretations adopted
The following amendments were adopted on January 1, 2022:
Amendments to references to conceptual framework in IFRS Standards
This amendment replaces references to the 2010 Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting with references to the 2018 Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting in order to determine what constitutes an asset or liability in a business combination, adds a new exception for certain liabilities and contingent liabilities to refer to IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, or IFRIC 21, Levies, rather than to the 2018 Conceptual Framework, and clarifies that an acquirer should not recognize contingent assets at the acquisition date. The amendments are effective for business combinations occurring in reporting periods starting on or after January 1, 2022.
The amendments described above had no impact on these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
New accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet adopted
The IASB has issued new standards and amendments to existing standards which are applicable to the Company in future periods. There were no significant updates to the standards and interpretations issued but not yet adopted described in the December 31, 2021 annual audited consolidated financial statements.
4. Business combinations

Grant date fair value
The PSUs, RSUs and DSUs grant date fair value was determined by using the quoted share price on the date of issuance. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 383,262 PSUs awarded included performance conditions and the right to these units will vest upon meeting the related performance criteria. These units have a maximum payout of 200% and could result in an additional 383,262 shares being issued.
12. Net income per share
Diluted net income per share excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive as well as all potential shares for which performance conditions have not yet been met as of the reporting date. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, anti-dilutive stock options, RSUs and PSUs were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because the effect was anti-dilutive.

13. Determination of fair values
Certain of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes using the following methods.
Financial assets and financial liabilities
In establishing fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on levels as defined below:
Level 1: defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.
Level 2: defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3: defined as inputs that are based on little or no observable market data, therefore requiring entities to develop their own assumptions.
The Company has determined that the carrying amounts of its current financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair value given the short-term nature of these instruments.
The fair value of the variable interest rate non-current liabilities approximates the carrying amount as the liabilities bear interest at a rate that varies according to the market rate.
As at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, financial instruments measured at fair value in the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position were as follows:

The fair value of the advances to a third party independent sales organization was determined by calculating the present value of the future estimated cash flows over the term of the agreements. There has been no material change to the assumptions used as at December 31, 2021.
Contingent considerations outstanding as at June 30, 2022 include the Base and the Mazooma contingent considerations. The fair value of contingent considerations is determined using a formula specified in the purchase agreement. The main assumption is the forecast of expected future cashflows.

Overview
We are a global payment company providing payment solutions to businesses across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America. We believe we are differentiated by our proprietary technology platform, which is purpose-built for high-growth eCommerce and mobile commerce markets. Our platform enables customers to accept payments worldwide regardless of their customers’ location, device or preferred payment method. Our solutions span the entire payments stack and include a fully integrated payments engine with global processing capabilities, a turnkey solution for frictionless payment experiences and a broad suite of data-driven business intelligence tools and risk management services. Through a single integration, we provide seamless and secure pay-in and payout capabilities, connecting our customers with their customers in over 200 markets worldwide with local acquiring in 45+ markets. With support for more than 570 alternative payment methods (“APMs”), including cryptocurrencies, and nearly 150 currencies, our customers can capture every payment opportunity that comes their way. In short we provide the payment technology and intelligence our customers need to succeed locally and globally, through one integration - propelling them further, faster.

While global commerce continues to pivot online, eCommerce and mobile commerce channels are converging and creating new and fast-growing opportunities for businesses of all sizes. Rapidly scaling across these commerce channels, however, can be complex and costly for businesses that rely on multiple providers in each local market. For example, merchants may use disparate and varied systems for gateway services, payment processing, online fraud prevention, business intelligence and more, creating operational distractions and workflow challenges, which result in additional costs and financial inefficiencies. In parallel, consumers expect a consistent transaction experience across all channels whether from a mobile device or computer. As a result, we believe businesses increasingly seek payment providers such as Nuvei who have a unified approach and can offer end-to-end solutions to help them navigate this complex environment.
We sell and distribute our solutions globally through three primary channels: direct sales, indirect sales for SMBs and eCommerce resellers. Our approach to distribution is designed to enable us to efficiently market our payments and technology solutions at scale and is customized by both region and vertical to optimize sales. By relying on our local sales teams and eCommerce resellers who act as trusted technology providers to our customers, we believe we are able to serve more customers globally and grow with them as they grow their businesses and expand into new markets. We focus on the needs of our customers and how we can help them grow their sales, and in turn our volume, with them. Due to the scalable nature of our business model and the inherent operating leverage, increases in volume drive profitable revenue growth.
Our revenue is primarily based on sales volume generated from our customers’ daily sales and through various transaction and subscription-based fees for our modular technology. Modular technology includes, for example, gateway, global processing, APMs, currency management, global payouts, fraud risk management, card issuing, cryptocurrency payments, open banking, data reporting, reconciliation tools, in addition to a long list of value-add capabilities. Our revenue is largely recurring in nature due to the mission-critical nature of our product and service offerings and deep integration of our payments technology into our customers’ enterprise resource planning systems. Additionally, our model has delivered rapid growth in eCommerce and mobile commerce revenue. We believe the depth and breadth of our payment capabilities help our customers establish and expand their presence in emerging commerce channels across many markets. This enables us to develop long-standing relationships with our customers, which in turn drive strong retention and significant cross-selling opportunities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased and cancelled 1,768,668 Subordinate Voting Shares for a total consideration, including transaction costs, of $109.2 million.
Purchase of Remaining 40% Interest of Loan Payment Pro ("LPP")
On February 4, 2022, the Company received a put option exercise notice from the LPP non-controlling interest unit holders which obligated the Company to purchase the remaining 40% interest in LPP at fair market value. On April 7, 2022, the Company completed the purchase of the remaining 40% interest in LPP for a cash consideration of $39.8 million.

Impact of COVID-19 on our Operations
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices to help minimize the risk of the virus to our employees, our partners, our merchants and their customers, and the communities in which we participate. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we adopted a “people-first” approach, prioritizing the health and safety of our employees and local communities and quickly enabled our employees to work remotely, implemented travel restrictions for all non-essential business and shifted company events to virtual-only experiences. The negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to date on our business and the results disclosed in our Interim Financial Statements has been limited by our strong presence in eCommerce(a) (representing approximately 88% of Total volume in the six months ended June 30, 2022) which helped mitigate any negative impact of the pandemic on our operations.
There continues to be uncertainty regarding the overall severity, extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, please refer to the section entitled “Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry – The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including the resulting global economic uncertainty and measures taken in response to the pandemic, is adversely affecting and is expected to continue to adversely affect our business and future results of operations and financial condition, and this adverse effect could be material” of our AIF, for additional detail on how COVID-19 may impact our future results.
(a)See "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures".
Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures
Our Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The information presented in this MD&A includes non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS financial ratios and supplementary financial measures, namely Adjusted EBITDA, Revenue at constant currency, Revenue growth at constant currency, Organic revenue at constant currency, Organic revenue growth at constant currency, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per basic share, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Free cash flow, Total volume, Total volume at constant currency, Total organic volume at constant currency and eCommerce volume. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and are therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from our perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under IFRS. These measures are used to provide investors with additional insight of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in Nuvei’s core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use these non-IFRS and other financial measures in the evaluation of issuers. We also use these measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation. We believe these measures are important additional measures of our performance, primarily because they and similar measures are used widely among others in the payment technology industry as a means of evaluating a company’s underlying operating performance.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Revenue at constant currency: In the second quarter of 2022, we introduced a new non-IFRS financial measure to measure our revenue on a constant currency basis. Revenue at constant currency means revenue adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. This measure helps provide insight on comparable revenue growth by removing the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year. Foreign currency exchange impact in the current period is calculated using prior period quarterly average exchange rates applied to the current period foreign currency amounts.
Organic revenue at constant currency: In the second quarter of 2022, we modified the composition of our Organic revenue metric to Organic revenue at constant currency. The only change in the composition of our Organic revenue metric as compared to prior periods is to exclude foreign currency exchange impact on organic revenue. This measure helps provide insight on organic and acquisition-related growth and presents useful information about comparable revenue growth. Organic revenue at constant currency means revenue excluding the revenue attributable to acquired businesses for a period of 12 months following their acquisition and excluding revenue attributable to divested businesses, adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Foreign currency exchange impact in the current period is calculated using prior period quarterly average exchange rates applied to the current period foreign currency amounts. See Reconciliation of Organic Revenue at Constant Currency and Organic Revenue Growth at Constant Currency to Revenue for more detail on the change in composition.
Adjusted EBITDA: We use Adjusted EBITDA as a means to evaluate operating performance, by eliminating the impact of non-operational or non-cash items. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before finance costs (recovery), finance income, depreciation and amortization, income tax expense, acquisition, integration and severance costs, share-based payments and related payroll taxes, loss (gain) on foreign currency exchange, and legal settlement and other.
Adjusted net income: We use Adjusted net income as an indicator of business performance and profitability with our current tax and capital structure. Adjusted net income is defined as net income (loss) before acquisition, integration and severance costs, share-based payments and related payroll taxes, loss (gain) on foreign currency exchange, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and the related income tax expense or recovery for these items. Adjusted net income also excludes change in redemption value of liability-classified common and preferred shares, change in fair value of share repurchase liability and accelerated amortization of deferred transaction costs and legal settlement and other.
Free cash flow: We use Free cash flow as a supplementary indicator of our operating performance. Free cash flow means, for any period, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures.
Non-IFRS Financial Ratios
Revenue growth at constant currency: Revenue growth at constant currency means the year-over-year change in Revenue at constant currency divided by reported revenue in the prior period. We use Revenue growth at constant currency to provide better comparability of revenue trends year-over-year, without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Organic revenue growth at constant currency: Organic revenue growth at constant currency means the year-over-year change in Organic revenue at constant currency divided by comparable Organic revenue in the prior period. We use Organic revenue growth at constant currency to provide better comparability of revenue trends year-over-year, without the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and fluctuations in foreign currency exchanges rates. See Reconciliation of Organic Revenue at Constant Currency and Organic Revenue Growth at Constant Currency to Revenue for more detail on the change in composition.
Adjusted net income per basic share and per diluted share: We use Adjusted net income per basic share and per diluted share as an indicator of performance and profitability of our business on a per share basis. Adjusted net income per basic share and per diluted share means Adjusted net income less net income attributable to non-controlling interest divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The number of share-based awards used in the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the Adjusted net income per diluted share calculation is determined using the treasury stock method as permitted under IFRS.

Supplementary Financial Measures
We monitor the following key performance indicators to help us evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. Our key performance indicators may be calculated in a manner that differs from similar key performance indicators used by other companies.
Total volume and eCommerce volume: We believe Total volume and eCommerce volume are indicators of performance of our business. Total volume and similar measures are used widely among others in the payments industry as a means of evaluating a company’s performance. We define Total volume as the total dollar value of transactions processed in the period by merchants under contractual agreement with us. eCommerce volume is the portion of Total volume for which the transaction did not occur at a physical location. Total volume and eCommerce volume do not represent revenue earned by us. Total volume includes acquiring volume, where we are in the flow of funds in the settlement transaction cycle, gateway/technology volume, where we provide our gateway/technology services but are not in the flow of funds in the settlement transaction cycle, as well as the total dollar value of transactions processed relating to APMs and payouts. Since our revenue is primarily sales volume and transaction-based, generated from merchants’ daily sales and through various fees for value-added services provided to our merchants, fluctuations in Total volume will generally impact our revenue.
Total volume at constant currency: Total volume at constant currency is used as an indicator of performance of our business on a more comparable foreign currency exchange basis. Total volume at constant currency means Total volume adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. This measure helps provide to provide better comparability of business trend year-over-year, without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency exchange impact in the current period is calculated using prior period quarterly average exchange rates applied to the current period foreign currency amounts.
Total organic volume at constant currency: Total organic volume at constant currency is used as an indicator of performance of our business on a more comparable basis. This measure helps provide insight on organic and acquisition-related growth and presents useful information about comparable Total volume growth. Total organic volume at constant currency means Total volume excluding Total volume attributable to acquired businesses for a period of 12 months following their acquisition and excluding Total volume attributable to divested businesses, adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Foreign currency exchange impact in the current period is calculated using prior period quarterly average exchange rates applied to the current period foreign currency amounts.

Summary of Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that the growth and future success of our business depends on many factors, including those described below. While each of these factors presents significant opportunities for our business, they also pose important challenges, some of which are discussed below as well as in the section entitled “Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry” of our AIF, and in our other filings with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
Growing with our Existing Customers. Our success is directly correlated with our customers’ success. We focus on the high-growth eCommerce and mobile markets and intend to grow alongside our existing customers as they grow their business and expand into new markets within selected high-growth end-markets, including online retail, online marketplaces, digital goods and services, regulated online gaming, social gaming, financial services and travel. eCommerce and mobile commerce customers represent the majority of our total volume, which accounted for 88% of our total volume in the six months ended June 30, 2022. Key characteristics of these verticals are inherent growth, longevity and propensity to operate globally.
In addition, our existing customers represent a significant opportunity for us to cross-sell and up-sell products and services with limited incremental sales and marketing expenses. As our customers increase their business volume, we can offer more solutions from our Native Commerce Platform. Our future revenue growth and achieving and maintaining profitability is dependent upon our ability to maintain existing customer relationships and to continue to expand our customers’ use of our comprehensive suite of solutions.
Acquiring New Customers. Our future revenue growth will also largely depend upon the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts. We have significant sales and marketing experience in capturing and serving SMBs in North America and large enterprises in Europe. We intend to leverage this experience and enable customer base expansion by targeting large enterprises in North America, with a focus in the eCommerce and mobile commerce channels. Key to our success in achieving customer base expansion is continued investment in our direct sales team and further leveraging our broad and diversified network of distribution partners.
Expanding in Regions Internationally. We plan to expand and deepen our footprint in geographies where we have an emerging presence today, such as Asia Pacific and Latin America. Our expansion has also been driven by the needs of our customers. For each new country where we seek to expand, we focus on understanding the needs of the local market and invest to develop relationships, while gaining an appreciation for the appropriate local regulatory and compliance frameworks. We believe this will help our growth strategy in achieving global presence and connectivity across all targeted markets.
Investing in our Technology and Product Portfolio. We believe our technology-first culture enables us to enhance our offerings to remain at the forefront of payments innovation. Specifically, our Native Commerce Platform enables us to deliver comprehensive payments and technology solutions to power a convenient and secure transaction experience for our customers and their customers. Further investment in this platform is necessary to expand and keep our portfolio of services to our customers technologically current. Close collaboration with our customers through ongoing communication and feedback loops is also key, as it enables a better design and delivery of solutions that meet their specific and evolving needs.
13


Maintaining and Adding to our Acquiring Bank Relationships. We have built strong relationships with acquiring banks in North America. The maintenance and/or expansion of these relationships and strong collaboration on maintaining adequate procedures in monitoring the risk profile of our customer base will be a key enabler in the pursuit of our growth strategies.
Adapting to Regulatory Changes. The nature of our product and services offerings necessitates that we adhere to strict regulatory regimes in the countries where we operate. Our operational teams are fully versed in the varying regulatory requirements. As regulations change or as we enter new markets with different regulatory requirements, we will continue to upskill and modify, our compliance capabilities as appropriate, such as our customer underwriting, risk management, know your customer and anti-money laundering capabilities, in as seamless as possible a manner to minimize disruption to our customers’ businesses.
Successfully Executing on Recent and Future Acquisitions. We intend to augment our capabilities and organic growth with strategic and tactical acquisitions. Critical to our success is continuing to be highly disciplined in integrating recent acquisitions, such as the Mazooma, Simplex and Paymentez acquisitions, as well as future acquisitions into our Company in a manner that allows us to fulfill the potential that these acquisitions bring.
Key Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Merchant Transaction and Processing Services. Revenues from our merchant transaction and processing services are derived primarily from eCommerce payment processing services, and stems from relationships with individual merchants. Additionally, transaction and processing services revenues stem from contracts with financial institutions and other merchant acquirers. The contracts stipulate the types of services and set forth how fees will be incurred and calculated. Merchant transaction and processing services revenues are generated from processing electronic payment transactions for merchants.
Our transaction and processing services revenues are primarily comprised of (a) fees calculated based on a percentage of the monetary value of transactions processed; (b) fees calculated based on the number of transactions processed; (c) service fees; or (d) some combination thereof that are associated with transaction and processing services.
We present revenue net of the interchange fees charged by the card issuing financial institutions and the fees charged by the payment networks when it is determined that we are acting as an agent and do not have the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the benefits of these services.
Other Revenue. We may sell hardware (“point-of-sale equipment”) as part of our contracts with customers. Hardware consists of terminals or gateway devices. We do not manufacture hardware but purchase hardware from third party vendors and hold the hardware in inventory until purchased by a customer.
For more information on our revenue recognition policies, refer to Note 3 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Cost of Revenue
Processing Costs. Processing costs consist of fees paid to processing suppliers. When we are the primary obligor providing payment processing services, we record processing fees paid to processing suppliers as a cost of revenue. If we are not the primary obligor providing payment processing services, processing fees are netted from the revenue recorded for such transaction and we do not record separate processing fees as a cost of revenue. Processing costs also include losses resulting from our transaction guarantee solutions.
Costs of Goods Sold. Costs of goods sold consist primarily of costs associated with selling point-of-sale equipment, such as the cost of acquiring the equipment, including purchase price, expenses associated with a third-party fulfillment company, shipping, handling and inventory adjustments.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative expenses primarily represent the amounts associated with (i) commissions, (ii) employee compensation, (iii) share-based payments, and (iv) depreciation and amortization.
Commissions. Commissions are comprised of incentives paid to third party agents for referring merchants.
14


Employee Compensation. Employee compensation consists of salaries and benefits (excluding share-based payments which is disclosed separately) earned by our employees. Employee compensation includes costs related to the various functions of the Company, including technology, sales and marketing, operations, as well as various business support functions.
Share-Based Payments. Share-based payments consists of our global equity-settled share-based compensation earned by our employees, directors and consultants.
We anticipate increases in general and administrative expenses as we invest in our business such as our sales force and incur the costs of compliance associated with being a dual-listed public company, including increased accounting and legal expenses. Please refer to the section entitled “Risks Relating to Regulation” of our AIF.
Depreciation. Depreciation consists of depreciation of property and equipment, primarily point-of-sale equipment, office and computer equipment, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements and right of use assets over buildings. We calculate depreciation using the straight-line method over the useful life of the relevant asset or over the remaining lease term, as applicable.
Amortization. Amortization consists primarily of amortization of intangible assets, which consist of internally generated and externally purchased software that is used in providing processing services to customers. It also includes trademarks, technologies and partner and merchant relationships that are acquired by the Company. These intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the course of the relevant asset’s useful life.
Selling, general and administrative expenses also consist of professional fees, transaction losses, contingent consideration adjustments and other expenses.
Net Finance Costs
Net finance costs primarily represent amounts associated with:
Interest on Loans and Borrowings. Interest expense consists primarily of interest incurred on term loans outstanding under the credit facilities.
Change in Fair Value of Share Repurchase Liability. The Company recognized a share repurchase liability related to the ASPP. The share repurchase liability was carried at fair market value until it was settled or upon termination of the agreement, with fair value changes being recognized in finance costs.
Interest Income on Advances to Third Parties. Commencing in the year ended December 31, 2018, we issued advances to a third-party independent sales organization. Under the agreements with the third-party independent sales organization, we acquired the rights to cash flows from a portfolio of merchant contracts.

Revenue211,294 178,239 33,055 19 
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, revenue increased by $33.1 million or 19% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in revenue was primarily due to organic growth mainly driven by higher eCommerce volume, as well as, to a lesser extent, by our acquisitions. Revenue was impacted unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year by $9.4 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, Revenue growth at constant currency was 24% and Organic revenue growth at constant currency was 16%. See "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures".
Revenue of $211 million was below our outlook range previously provided of between $217 million and $223 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This was mainly as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which negatively impacted revenue by approximately $2 million, as the US dollar strengthened more than we anticipated; a change in volume mix from APMs, for which revenue is presented on a gross basis, to credit, which is presented net of interchange and payment network fees, which negatively impacted revenue by approximately $6 million; and higher volatility and lower volume than we anticipated in digital assets and cryptocurrencies, which negatively impacted revenue by approximately $4 million.
Total volume increased to $30.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $21.9 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $8.2 billion or 38%. Total volume at constant currency was $31.4 billion, an increase of 44% over the same period.

The increase in processing costs was primarily driven by organic growth in Total volume and the inclusion of acquired businesses. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased from 18.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to 17.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 mainly due to a more favorable revenue mix.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $50.6 million or 53% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to the following:
Commissions. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, commission expense decreased by $6.5 million or 18% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenue subject to commission compared to the prior year.
Employee Compensation. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, employee compensation increased by $14.4 million or 63% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The employee compensation includes costs related to the various functions of the Company, including technology, sales and marketing, human resources, and administration. The increase year-over-year mainly reflects higher headcount, both from organic and acquisition growth, including those in direct sales and account management to drive future growth and execute on our strategy. Our acquisitions also resulted in an increase in headcount, employee compensation and acquisition-related compensation. As part of our acquisitions, we also entered into compensation arrangements for retention and future services which led to the recognition of $3.4 million of expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Share-based Payments. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, share-based payments increased by $27.7 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. This was primarily due to awards to employees who joined the Company relating to acquisitions completed during the third quarter of 2021 and other employee grants. Of the $32.4 million of the share-based payments for the three months ended June 30, 2022, $15.4 million related to awards with an exercise price or share price performance condition in excess of $100.00. As at June 30, 2022, unrecognized share-based payments were approximately $225.5 million of which $99.5 million related to awards with an exercise price or share price performance condition in excess of $100.00.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment expenses and amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $6.3 million or 30% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a higher amortization expense for technologies as well as partner and merchant relationships intangible assets related to the Company's acquisitions.
Professional Fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, professional fees decreased by $1.7 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was mainly due to higher professional fees incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2021 in preparation for the closing of three acquisitions during the third quarter of 2021.
18


Other. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, other expenses increased by $10.5 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was mostly driven by higher marketing expenses resulting from our rebranding and related advertising as well as higher information technology expenses.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, net finance cost decreased by $6.2 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the following items:
Interest on Loans and Borrowings. The increase of $2.0 million was mainly due to higher debt balance resulting from new financing related to 2021 business acquisitions, as well as a relatively higher interest rate environment in the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Change in Fair Value of Share Repurchase Liability. The gain of $7.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 is due to the decrease in share price between March 31, 2022 and the completion of share repurchases under the ASPP in May 2022.

Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $5.8 million on income before income tax of $40.9 million, representing an effective tax rate of 14.3% for the period. This effective tax rate below the Canadian parent statutory tax rate of 26.5% mainly reflected the favorable impact of lower tax rates in certain jurisdictions as well as non-taxable items, including the change in fair value of share repurchase liability (gain), and was partially offset by share-based payments of $32.7 million recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2022 that are non-deductible in most jurisdictions.
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $6.1 million on income before income tax of $45.0 million, representing an effective tax rate of 13.6% for the period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $109.0 million or 59% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to the following:
Commissions. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, commission expense decreased by $7.7 million or 12% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenue subject to commission compared to prior period.

Employee Compensation. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, employee compensation increased by $31.2 million or 71% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Employee compensation includes costs related to the various functions of the Company, including technology, sales and marketing, human resources, and administration. The increase mainly reflects higher headcount, including investments in direct sales and account management to drive future growth and execute on our strategy. The inclusion of acquired businesses also resulted in an increase in headcount, employee compensation and acquisition-related compensation. In 2021, and as part of the acquisitions, we entered into compensation arrangements for retention and future services which led to the recognition of a $6.8 million expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Professional Fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, professional fees decreased by $1.0 million or 7% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to costs incurred in the comparative period related to the acquisition and integration of businesses acquired in 2021 which was partially offset by additional costs incurred to operate as a dual-listed company due to our Nasdaq listing in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Share-based Payments. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, share-based payments increased by $60.8 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. This was primarily due to awards to employees who joined the Company relating to acquisitions completed during the third quarter of 2021 and other employee grants.
Other. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, other expenses increased by $14.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is mostly due to marketing expenses as well as higher information technology expenses and travel costs.

Quarterly Trend Analysis
The quarterly increase in revenue and cost of revenue was primarily due to Total volume organic growth as well as from our 2021 acquisitions (Base Commerce in January 2021, Mazooma in August 2021, Simplex and Paymentez in September 2021).
The quarterly increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to organic growth, acquisitions, as well as higher share-based payments partially in connection with our 2021 acquisitions.
The decrease in operating profit in the three months ended December 31, 2021 and following quarters was mainly driven by the increase in share-based compensation expense, primarily due to awards to employees who joined the Company relating to acquisitions completed during the year and other employee grants, as well as higher acquisition and integration costs resulting from the completion of three acquisitions during the third quarter of 2021. Higher expenses were partially offset by the increase in gross profit during the same period.
Net income in the three months ended June 30, 2022 included a gain of $8.5 million on foreign currency exchange and a gain of $7.9 million on the remeasurement of the share repurchase liability under the ASPP.

Trade and other receivables and payables. The increase mainly reflects ongoing business activities and timing of payments and receipts between periods.
Intangibles assets and goodwill. The decrease was mainly driven by the amortization of intangible assets as well as changes in foreign currency translation rates and was partially offset by the acquisition of intangible assets.
Total liabilities. The decrease in total liabilities mainly reflects changes in due to merchants driven by business activity.
Deficit. The increase in deficit of $67.6 million is mainly explained by the portion of the repurchased shares and the portion of the share repurchase liability recognized in deficit for a total of $71.1 million as well as $33.4 million related to the purchase of the non-controlling interest in LPP in the six months ended June 30, 2022. These items were partly offset by net income during the period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our financial condition and liquidity are and will continue to be influenced by a variety of factors, including:
Our ability to generate cash flows from our operations;
The level of our outstanding indebtedness and the interest we are obligated to pay on this indebtedness; and
Our capital expenditure requirements.
The general objectives of our capital management strategy are to ensure sufficient liquidity to pursue our organic growth strategy and undertake selective acquisitions, while maintaining a strong credit profile and a capital structure that maintains total leverage ratio within the limits set in the credit facilities.
Our primary source of liquidity is cash from operations, debt and equity financing. Our principal liquidity needs include investment in our selective acquisitions and product and technology, as well as operations, selling and general and administrative expenses and debt service.
Our capital is composed of net debt and shareholders’ equity. Net debt consists of interest-bearing debt less cash. Our use of capital is to finance business acquisitions, working capital requirements and capital expenditures.
We fund those requirements out of our internally generated cash flows and funds drawn from our long-term credit facilities or via equity financings.
24


The primary measure we use to monitor our financial leverage is our total leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of consolidated net debt outstanding, calculated as long-term debt less unrestricted cash, to consolidated adjusted EBITDA, calculated in accordance with the terms of the credit agreement for our credit facility. Under our credit facility, we must maintain a total leverage ratio of less than or equal to 7.50 : 1.00 for the current period, with the ratio decreasing year over year every October 1st, until it reaches 6.50 : 1.00 for the period after September 30, 2023. As at June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with this requirement.
We believe that the Company's available cash, cash flows generated from operations, loans and borrowings will be sufficient to meet our projected operating and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Credit Facilities
Our credit facility is comprised of term loan facilities of $508.1 million. Outstanding principal of the term loan will be payable quarterly at an annual rate of 1.00% and the remaining balance will be payable at maturity on September 28, 2025. The Company also has an unused revolving credit facility of $385 million. The maturity of the revolving facility is September 28, 2024. This revolving credit facility was unused and available to be drawn to meet ongoing working capital requirements.
As at June 30, 2022, we had letters of credit issued totaling $46.1 million ($46.1 million as at December 31, 2021).
For more information on the Company's loans and borrowings, refer to Note 12 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Base Shelf Prospectus
On December 7, 2020, we filed a short form base shelf prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada (as amended on May 10, 2021), and filed a corresponding shelf registration statement on Form F-10 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on October 4, 2021. Refer to our MD&A for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 dated March 7, 2022 for additional information on our base shelf prospectus. There has been no change to the amount available under the base shelf prospectus during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Nasdaq Listing
On October 8, 2021, we completed our Nasdaq listing in the United States for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $424.8 million.
The net proceeds of $408.2 million received as part of our Nasdaq listing remain available as of June 30, 2022.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, $157.2 million of cash was generated from operating activities compared to $139.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to business growth and, to a lesser extent, our acquisitions. The interest paid in the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $3.4 million compared to the same period in 2021, reflecting the borrowing of $300 million under our credit facility in 2021 to fund our three acquisitions in the third quarter of 2021.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, $20.5 million of cash was used in investing activities. This resulted primarily from the acquisition of intangible assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, $84.3 million of cash was used in investing activities, mainly due to cash consideration for the acquisition of Base Commerce of $88.9 million, net of cash acquired.
Cash Flows From (Used in) Financing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, $152.9 million of cash was used in financing activities mainly reflecting the amount of $109.2 million used to repurchase and cancel approximately 1.8 million Subordinate Voting Shares under the NCIB. This also resulted from the purchase of the LPP non-controlling interest of 40% for a cash consideration of $39.8 million as well as acquisition of intangible assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, $296.6 million of cash was generated from financing activities mainly reflecting proceeds from loans and borrowings.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements. We may, from time to time, be contingently liable with respect to litigation and claims that arise in the normal course of operations.
Related Party Transactions and Executive Compensation
We have no related party transactions other than those presented in Note 14 in the Interim Financial Statements.
Financial Instruments and Other Instruments
In the ordinary course of its business activities, we are exposed to various market risks that are beyond our control, including fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, and that may have an adverse effect on the value of Nuvei's financial assets and liabilities, future cash flows and profit. Our policy with respect to these market risks is to assess the potential of experiencing losses and the consolidated impact thereof, and to mitigate these market risks as is deemed appropriate. (Please refer to the “Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry” section of the AIF.)
Credit and Concentration Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises principally from our cash, trade and other receivables, advances to third parties, segregated funds and processor deposits. The carrying amounts of these financial assets represent the maximum credit exposure.
Cash and Processor Deposits
The credit risk associated with cash, segregated funds and processor deposits is limited because they are maintained only with highly rated large financial institutions.
Trade and Other Receivables
We provide credit to our customers in the normal course of business. We evaluate the creditworthiness of the corresponding counterparties at least at the end of each reporting period and on a specific circumstance basis. Our extension of credit to customers involves considerable judgment and is based on an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition and payment history. We have established various internal controls designed to mitigate credit risk, including credit limits and payment terms that are reviewed and approved by the Company. Any impaired trade receivables are mostly due from customers that are experiencing financial difficulties.
26


There is a concentration of credit risk as of June 30, 2022, with respect to our receivables from our main processor, which represented approximately 35% (December 31, 2021– 37%) of trade and other receivables.
Advances to Third Parties
The credit risk associated with the advances to third parties is limited because the advances are repaid by financial institutions when we become entitled to payment under the agreements.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degrees of volatility of those rates. Foreign currency risk is limited to the portion of our business transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations related to foreign exchange rates could cause unforeseen fluctuations in our operating results. We do not currently enter into arrangements to hedge foreign currency risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market rates. We do not account for any fixed interest-rate financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.
All other loans and borrowings bear interest at floating rates, and we are therefore exposed to the cash flow risk resulting from interest rate fluctuations. This risk is partially offset by our cash balance which also bears interest at floating rates.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the Interim Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates, judgments and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively.
Critical judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the Interim Financial Statements include the following:
Revenue Recognition. The identification of revenue-generating contracts with customers, the identification of performance obligations, the determination of the transaction price and allocations between identified performance obligations, the use of appropriate revenue recognition method for each performance obligation and the measure of progress for performance obligations satisfied over time are the main aspects of the revenue recognition process, all of which require the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions. In addition, we have applied judgment in assessing the principal versus agent considerations for our transaction and processing services. 
Fair Value of Share-based Payment Transactions. We recognized compensation expense as a result of equity-settled share-based payment transactions which are valued by reference to the fair value of the related instruments. Fair value of options granted that did not contain a market performance condition was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a zero coupon U.S. government security with a maturity equal to the expected life of the option from the date of the grant. The assumption of expected volatility is based on the average historical volatility of comparable companies for the period immediately preceding the option grant. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the option-pricing model.
When granting share-based payment compensation with performance conditions, we assess whether those performance conditions are market or non-market conditions. Market conditions are taken into account in the fair value estimate on the grant date, using a Monte Carlo simulation and this fair value is not revised subsequently. For non-market conditions, we estimate the expected outcome of the performance targets and revise those estimates and related expense until the final outcome is known.
27


When issuing share-based payments in exchange for services rendered by an external party, the Company estimates the fair value of the instruments granted by reference to the fair value of services rendered by the external party, if the services can be measured reliably, instead of the fair value of the equity instrument granted.
Provisions for Losses on Merchant Accounts. Disputes between a cardholder and a merchant arise periodically, primarily as a result of customer dissatisfaction with merchandise quality or merchant services. Such disputes may not be resolved in the merchant’s favor. In these cases, the transaction amount is refunded to the customer by the card issuing financial institution, but the financial institution is refunded by us. We then charge back to the merchant the amount refunded to the financial institution. As such, we are exposed to credit risk in relation to the merchant since we assume the repayment to the merchant’s customer for the full amount of the transaction even if the merchant has insufficient funds to reimburse us. A provision for losses on merchant accounts is maintained to absorb unrecoverable chargebacks for merchant transactions that have been previously processed and on which revenues have been recorded. The provision for losses on merchant accounts specifically comprises identifiable provisions for merchant transactions for which losses can be estimated. We evaluate the risk for such transactions and estimate the loss for disputed transactions based primarily on historical experience and other relevant factors. We analyze the adequacy of the provision for losses on merchant accounts in each reporting period. 
Determining the Fair Value of Identifiable Intangible Assets Following a Business Combination. The Company uses valuation techniques to determine the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination, which are generally based on a forecast of total expected future net discounted cash flows. These valuations are linked closely to the assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of the related assets and the discount rate applied as it would be assumed by a market participant.
Recoverable Amount of Goodwill. Our impairment test for goodwill is based on internal estimates of fair value less costs of disposal calculations and uses valuation models such as the discounted cash flows model. Key assumptions on which we have based our determination of fair value less costs of disposal include estimated sales volumes, input costs, and selling, general and administrative expenses as well as the multiples applied to forecasted Adjusted EBITDA. These estimates, including the methodology used, can have a material impact on the respective values and ultimately the amount of any goodwill impairment. 
Recoverable Amount of Tax Balances for Recognition of Tax Assets. Deferred income tax assets reflect our estimate of operations of future fiscal years, timing of reversal of temporary differences and tax rates on the date of reversals, which may well change depending on governments’ fiscal policies. We must also assess whether it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will be realized and determine whether a valuation allowance is required on all or a portion of deferred income tax assets.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Adopted
The following amendments were adopted on January 1, 2022:
Amendments to references to conceptual framework in IFRS Standards
This amendment replaces references to the 2010 Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting with references to the 2018 Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting in order to determine what constitutes an asset or liability in a business combination, adds a new exception for certain liabilities and contingent liabilities to refer to IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, or IFRIC 21, Levies, rather than to the 2018 Conceptual Framework, and clarifies that an acquirer should not recognize contingent assets at the acquisition date. The amendments are effective for business combinations occurring in reporting periods starting on or after January 1, 2022.
All the amendments described above had no impact on our Interim Financial Statements.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Issued But Not Yet Adopted
The IASB has issued new standards and amendments to existing standards which are applicable to the Company in future periods. There were no significant updates to the standards and interpretations issued but not yet adopted described in the annual audited consolidated financial statements.

Outstanding Share Data
As of August 5, 2022, our authorized share capital consists of (i) an unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares, of which 65,225,478 were issued and outstanding, (ii) an unlimited number of Multiple Voting Shares, of which 76,064,619 were issued and outstanding, and (iii) an unlimited number of Preferred Shares, issuable in series, none of which were outstanding. The Subordinate Voting Shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of such term under applicable securities laws in Canada.
As of August 5, 2022, there were 2,543,565 options outstanding under the Company’s legacy stock option plan dated September 21, 2017 and 6,139,837 options outstanding under the Company’s Omnibus Plan. Each such option is or may become exercisable for one Subordinate Voting Shares.
As of August 5, 2022, there were 19,870 Deferred Share Units, 1,691,679 Restricted Share Units and 1,778,431 Performance Share Units outstanding under the Company’s Omnibus Plan.
Risk Factors
In addition to all other information set out in this MD&A, our Interim Financial Statements and our audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the specific risk factors that could materially adversely affect us and/or our business, financial condition and results of operations are disclosed under "Risk Factors'" in our Annual Information Form. Other risks and uncertainties that we do not presently consider to be material, or of which we are not presently aware, may also become important factors that affect our future business, financial condition and results of operations. The occurrence of any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures, and performing an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as at June 30, 2022 to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the appropriate time periods and is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our internal controls over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.
Change in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have evaluated, or caused to be evaluated under their supervision, whether or not there were changes to our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting. No such changes were identified through their evaluation.
29


Limitations of Controls and Procedures
Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the reality that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Limitation on Scope of Design
The scope of design of internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures excluded the controls, policies, and procedures of Mazooma, which was acquired on August 3, 2021, Simplex and Paymentez, which were acquired on September 1, 2021. On a combined basis, these entities’ contribution to our consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income or loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately 7% of total revenues. Additionally, as at June 30, 2022, these entities’ current assets and current liabilities, on a combined basis, represented approximately 6% and 11%, respectively of our consolidated current assets and current liabilities, and these entities' combined non-current assets, which include intangible assets and goodwill, represented approximately 19% of our consolidated non-current assets. The amounts recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as at the date of these acquisitions are described in Note 4 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
