Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Organization Shift4 Payments, Inc. (“Shift4 Payments” or “the Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in order to carry on the business of Shift4 Payments, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company is a leading independent provider of software and payment processing solutions in the United States (“U.S.”) based on total volume of payments processed. Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. These financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The December 31, 2024 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP applicable to interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or future periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shift4 Payments, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Shift4 Payments, Inc. consolidates the financial results of Shift4 Payments, LLC, which is considered a variable interest entity. Shift4 Payments, Inc. is the primary beneficiary and sole managing member of Shift4 Payments, LLC and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity. As a result, the Company consolidates Shift4 Payments, LLC and reports a noncontrolling interest representing the economic interest in Shift4 Payments, LLC held by Rook Holdings Inc. (“Rook”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The assets and liabilities of Shift4 Payments, LLC represent substantially all of the consolidated assets and liabilities of Shift4 Payments, Inc. with the exception of certain cash balances, amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”), and the aggregate principal amount of $690.0 million of 2025 Convertible Notes and $632.5 million of 2027 Convertible Notes (together, the “Convertible Notes”) that are held by Shift4 Payments, Inc. directly. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $49.7 million and $52.0 million of cash, respectively, was directly held by Shift4 Payments, Inc. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the TRA liability was $362.6 million and $365.5 million, respectively. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, Shift4 Payments, Inc. entered into Intercompany Convertible Notes with Shift4 Payments, LLC, whereby Shift4 Payments, Inc. provided the net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes to Shift4 Payments, LLC in the amount of $1,322.5 million. Shift4 Payments, Inc., which was incorporated on November 5, 2019, has not had any material operations on a standalone basis since its inception, and all of the operations of the Company are carried out by Shift4 Payments, LLC and its subsidiaries. Change in Presentation of Consolidated Balance Sheets Prior period balances have been adjusted to present “Inventory” within the line item “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to conform to the current period presentation. Change in Presentation of Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows Prior period balances have been adjusted to present “Inventory” within the line item “Prepaid expenses and other assets” within its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform to the current period presentation. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company elected to change its presentation of the cash flows associated with “Settlement activity, net” from “Operating activities” to present them as “Financing activities” within its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Prior period balances have been adjusted to conform to the current period presentation. The following table presents the effects of the change in presentation within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for three months ended March 31, 2024:
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates of fair value of acquired assets and liabilities through business combinations, fair value of contingent liabilities related to earnout payments, deferred income tax valuation allowances, amounts associated with the Company’s tax receivable agreement with Rook and certain affiliates of Searchlight Capital Partners, L.P. (together, the “Continuing Equity Owners”), allowance for doubtful accounts, income taxes, and noncontrolling interests. Estimates are based on past experience and other considerations reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 to Shift4 Payments, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 in the 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these policies which have had a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The following table provides a reconciliation between cash and cash equivalents on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Pronouncements Adopted In January 2025, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 122 (“SAB 122”), which rescinded the interpretive guidance included in SAB 121 regarding the accounting for obligations to safeguard crypto-assets an entity holds for users of its crypto platform. The guidance in SAB 121 required entities that hold crypto-assets on behalf of platform users to recognize a liability accompanied by an asset of the same value on its balance sheet to reflect the entity’s obligation to safeguard the crypto-assets held for its platform users. SAB 122 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2025, resulting in the derecognition of crypto settlement assets and liabilities from the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the impact of which was immaterial. The adoption of SAB 122 had no impact on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides qualitative and quantitative updates to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures, among others, in order to enhance the transparency of income tax disclosures, including consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and disaggregation by jurisdiction of income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2025. The Company intends to provide these additional disclosures in its 2025 Form 10-K. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosure of certain amounts included in the expense captions presented on the Statements of Operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Besides the additional disclosures noted above, the Company does not believe ASU 2024-03 will have a significant impact on its financial statement disclosures.
