We power the Experience Economy Enabling businesses to deliver the Moments that Matter Q2 2026 Shareholder Letter | Investors.shift4.com Exhibit 99.1
2 Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators Forward-Looking Statements We use supplemental measures of our performance which are derived from our consolidated financial information but which are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures include: gross revenue less network fees, which includes interchange and adjustment fees; non-GAAP net income; non-GAAP EPS; free cash flow; Adjusted Free Cash Flow; earnings before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”); Adjusted EBITDA; Adjusted EBITDA conversion rate; and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Gross revenue less network fees ("GRLNF"), including total and organic, represents a key performance metric that management uses to measure changes in the mix and value derived from our customer base as we continue to execute our strategy to expand our reach to serve larger, complex merchants. Non-GAAP net income represents net income adjusted for certain non-cash and other nonrecurring items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations, such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition, restructuring and integration costs, revaluation of contingent liabilities, gain on sale of subsidiaries, impairment of intangible assets, loss on extinguishment of debt, gain (loss) on investments in securities, change in TRA liability, equity-based compensation, and foreign exchange and other nonrecurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary financial performance measure used by management to evaluate its business and monitor results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted for certain non-cash and other nonrecurring items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations. These adjustments include acquisition, restructuring and integration costs, revaluation of contingent liabilities, gain on sale of subsidiaries, impairment of intangible assets, loss on extinguishment of debt, gain (loss) on investments in securities, change in TRA liability, equity-based compensation, and foreign exchange and other nonrecurring items. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by GRLNF. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for certain non-discretionary capital expenditures. Adjusted Free Cash Flow represents free cash flow further adjusted for certain transactions that are not indicative of future operating cash flows, including acquisition, restructuring and integration costs, other nonrecurring expenses, and nonrecurring strategic capital expenditures that are not indicative of ongoing activities. We believe Adjusted Free Cash Flow is useful to measure the funds generated in a given period that are available to invest in the business, to repurchase stock and to make strategic decisions. The Adjusted EBITDA conversion rate is calculated as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA. We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results allows management to better understand our consolidated financial performance and, in the case of Adjusted Free Cash Flow, our liquidity, from period to period and better project our future consolidated financial performance as forecasts are developed at a level of detail different from that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide our stakeholders with useful information to help them evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our operating performance and, in the case of Adjusted Free Cash Flow, our liquidity, and enabling them to make more meaningful period to period comparisons. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this letter. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance, or in the case of Adjusted Free Cash Flow, as an indicator of liquidity, in isolation from or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, GRLNF, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP EPS, free cash flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to, in each case, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented in Appendix - Financial Information. For 2026, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of GRLNF, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Non-GAAP EPS to Gross Profit, Net Income, net cash provided by operating activities, and net income (loss) per Class A and C share, respectively, the nearest comparable GAAP measures, without unreasonable efforts. We encourage you to review the reconciliations in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. In future fiscal periods, we may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items. In addition, key performance indicators include volume, Blended Spread and margin. Volume is defined as the total dollar amount of payments that we deliver for settlement on behalf of our merchants. Included in volume are dollars routed via our international payments platform, alternative payment methods, including cryptocurrency, stored value, gift cards and stock donations, plus volume we route to third party merchant acquirers on behalf of strategic enterprise merchant relationships. We do maintain transaction processing on certain legacy platforms that are not defined as volume. Blended Spread represents the average yield Shift4 earns on the average volume processed for a given period after network fees. Blended Spread is calculated as payments-based revenue less gateway revenue and network fees for a given period divided by the volume processed for the same period.

Dear Fellow Shareholders, The second quarter of 2026 reinforced three themes: the durability of our growth, the global appetite for our products, and the strength of our position at the center of the experience economy. Each of these themes showed up clearly in our results, and should give conviction as to the plan we’ve been executing successfully against. Shift4 was center stage during the quarter as over a million fans visited the U.S. for the World Cup and experienced our technology at thousands of restaurants, hotels and every match venue in the U.S. and Canada. High volume and most importantly, in-person, payments demand innovative and resilient technology and expertise across myriad operating models. I’m proud to say that both our products and team executed flawlessly. In addition, our international expansion continues to scale nicely, even against the backdrop of ongoing Middle East-related travel disruptions. We are having tangible success expanding our Shift4 One product into more markets across Europe and remain on track to be live in a total of 15 countries by the end of this year, with 12 countries live today. As a reminder, Shift4 One allows retailers to consolidate payments, tax-free shopping, and dynamic currency conversion capabilities within a single device. This takes what would otherwise be a complex process spanning multiple vendors and lots of human intervention and simplifies it into a simple hand- held device where we can deliver the entire value chain to both our customer and the consumer. And in what is truly the Shift4 way, we also launched Shift4 Dine in Spain and Australia. In terms of quarterly results, here are some highlights: • Gross revenue was $1.3 billion, up 34% year over year; Gross revenue less network fees was $624 million and gross profit was $420 million, up 51% and 53% year over year, respectively. When adjusting for acquisitions and divestitures, our organic growth was 11% year over year. • Net income was $24 million for the quarter. EBITDA was $238 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $284 million. Each was up 45% and 39% respectively. • Lastly, net cash from operating activities was $63 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $21 million. These results underscore the increasing diversity of our business and the durability of our growth. Our north star remains payments-based revenue less network fees, which grew 27% this quarter. That combination of both great products and disciplined capital allocation continues to be the engine behind our results. August 6, 2026
We are often asked about why a merchant chooses Shift4 and the answer is how we deliver in the moments that matter. The businesses we serve span many verticals but ultimately want their customers to have a great in-person experience. We help them deliver that and have a lot more work to do around the globe. As I noted last quarter, we are not immune to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, and our thoughts remain with those in harm's way. The conflict continues to have a meaningful negative impact on tax free shopping albeit with slightly more positive performance in Q2 than originally anticipated. We expect that will continue as the conflict persists and are revising our guidance to reflect the likelihood of continued travel disruption in the upcoming third quarter. To that end, we are lowering the midpoint of our full-year 2026 Gross Revenue less Network Fees by ~200bps to reflect approximately $25 million of Middle East influenced travel disruption in the upcoming third quarter and roughly $20 million of FX translation impact. We’ve also included the impact of our recent financings in our free cash flow and earnings per share guidance. This guidance update reflects what I believe is appropriate caution related to the ongoing travel disruption; however, they are also quite temporary in their nature. We remain confident in the long term growth and durability of the Tax Free Shopping business, and excited about the large opportunity in front of us to combine payments and tax free shopping across luxury retail and the broader experience economy. Boldly Forward, Taylor Lauber Chief Executive Officer tlauber@shift4.com TBU - TAYLOR LETTER (will iterate separately in google doc)
