| Significant Accounting Policies |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of consolidation The financial statements of entities which are controlled by Lesaka, referred to as subsidiaries, are consolidated. Inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. The Company, if it is the primary beneficiary, consolidates entities which are considered to be variable interest entities (“VIE”). The primary beneficiary is considered to be the entity that will absorb a majority of the entity's expected losses, receive a majority of the entity's expected residual returns, or both. The Company has an obligation to absorb the financial losses of the Lesaka Employee Share Trust (“Lesaka ESOP Trust”) and also has the ability to control this trust and therefore it has been consolidated. This trust does not generate significant losses or residual returns. Business combinations The Company accounts for its business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting. The total value of the consideration paid for acquisitions is allocated to the underlying net assets acquired, based on their respective estimated fair values. The Company uses a number of valuation methods to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired, including discounted cash flows, external market values, valuations on recent transactions or a combination thereof, and believes that it uses the most appropriate measure or a combination of measures to value each asset or liability. The Company recognizes measurement-period adjustments in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Translation of foreign currencies The primary functional currency of the consolidated entities is the South African Rand (“ZAR”) and the Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the period. Translation gains and losses are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income in total equity. The Company releases the foreign currency translation reserve included in accumulated other comprehensive income attributable to a foreign entity upon sale or complete, or substantially complete, liquidation of the investment in that foreign entity and includes the release in the gain or loss reported related to the sale or liquidation of the foreign entity. Foreign exchange transactions are translated at the spot rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary items are translated at the closing spot rate at the balance sheet date. Transactional gains and losses are recognized in selling, general and administration expense on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the period. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and funds deposited in bank accounts with financial institutions that are liquid, unrestricted and readily available. Restricted cash represents cash which is legally or contractually restricted as to use and includes cash related to cash withdrawn from the Company’s debt facilities to fund ATMs as well cash in certain bank accounts that have been ceded to under certain of the Company’s borrowings. Allowance for credit losses The Company uses historical default experience over the lifetime of loans in order to develop an expected loss rate for its lending books. The allowance for credit losses related to Consumer finance loans receivables is calculated by multiplying the expected loss rate with the month-end outstanding lending book. The allowance for credit losses related to Merchant finance loans receivables is calculated by adding together actual receivables in default plus multiplying the expected loss rate with the month-end outstanding lending book. The Company writes off microlending finance loans receivable and related service fees and interest if a borrower is in arrears with repayments for more than three months or is deceased. The Company writes off merchant and working capital finance receivables and related fees when it is evident that reasonable recovery procedures, including where deemed necessary, formal legal a ction, have failed. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Allowance for credit losses (continued) For accounts receivables, the Company uses a lifetime loss rate by expressing write-off experience as a percentage of corresponding invoice amounts (as opposed to outstanding balances). The allowance for credit losses related to these receivables has been calculated by multiplying the lifetime loss rate with recent invoice/origination amounts. Non-recoverability is assessed based on a quarterly review by management of the ageing of outstanding amounts, the location and the payment history of the customer in relation to those specific amounts. Inventory Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis and includes transport and handling costs. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are shown at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line basis at rates which are estimated to amortize the assets to their anticipated residual values over their useful lives. Within the following asset classifications, the expected economic useful lives are approximately: Vaults 10 Computer equipment 3 9 Office equipment 2 10 Vehicles 3 8 Furniture and fittings 3 15 The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in income. Leases The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right- of-use assets (“ROU”), operating lease liability - current, and operating lease liability – long term in its consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not have any significant finance leases as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, but its policy is to include finance leases in property and equipment, other payables, and other long-term liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets. A ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease arrangement. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease prepayments made and excludes lease incentives. The terms of the Company’s lease arrangements may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for lease arrangements with a term of twelve months or less. The Company accounts for all components in a lease arrangement as a single combined lease component. Costs incurred in the adaptation of leased properties to serve the requirements of the Company (leasehold improvements) are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the remaining term of the lease. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Equity-accounted investments The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in companies when it has significant influence but not control over the operations of the company. Under the equity method, the Company initially records the investment at cost and thereafter adjusts the carrying value of the investment to recognize its proportional share of the equity-accounted company’s net income or loss. In addition, when an investment qualifies for the equity method (as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence), the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee is added to the current basis of the Company’s previously held interest and the equity method would be applied subsequently from the date on which the Company obtains the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee. The Company releases a pro rata portion of the foreign currency translation reserve related to an equity-accounted investment that is included in accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings upon the sale of a portion of its ownership interest in the equity-accounted investment. The release of the pro rata portion of the foreign currency translation reserve is included in the measurement of the gain or loss on sale of a portion of the Company’s ownership interest in the equity-accounted investment. The Company does not recognize cumulative losses in excess of its investment or loans in an equity-accounted investment except if it has an obligation to provide additional financial support. Dividends received from an equity-accounted investment reduce the carrying value of the Company’s investment. The Company has elected to classify distributions received from equity method investees using the nature of the distribution approach. This election requires the Company to evaluate each distribution received on the basis of the source of the payment and classify the distribution as either operating cash inflows or investing cash inflows. The Company reviews its equity-accounted investments for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired enterprise over the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair value at the date of purchase. The Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment has occurred. Circumstances that could trigger an impairment test include but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in the business climate or legal factors; an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; unanticipated competition; loss of key personnel; the likelihood that a reporting unit or significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed; and results of testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit. If goodwill is allocated to a reporting unit and the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of that reporting unit, an impairment loss is recorded in the statement of operations. Measurement of the fair value of a reporting unit is based on present value techniques of estimated future cash flows. Intangible assets Intangible assets are shown at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized over the following useful lives: Customer relationships 1 15 Software, integrated platform and unpatented technology 3 10 FTS patent 10 Exclusive licenses 7 Brands and trademarks 0.5 20 Intangible assets are periodically evaluated for recoverability, and those evaluations take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Debt and equity securities Debt securities The Company is required to classify all applicable debt securities as either trading securities, available for sale or held to maturity upon investment in the security. Held to maturity Debt securities acquired by the Company which it has the ability and the positive intent to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity debt securities. The Company is required to make an election to classify these debt securities as held to maturity and these securities are carried at amortized cost. The amortized cost of held to maturity debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Interest received from the held to maturity security together with this amortization is included in interest income in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The Company had a held to maturity security as of June 30, 2025. The Company uses historical default experience over the lifetime of debt securities in order to calculate a lifetime loss rate for its held to maturity debt securities. The Company had no held to maturity debt securities as of June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2025, the carrying value of the Company’s held to maturity debt securities was $ 0 . Impairment of debt securities With regard to held to maturity debt securities, the Company considers (i) the ability and intent to hold the debt security for a period of time to allow for recovery of value (ii) whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the debt security; and (iii) whether it expects to recover the entire carrying amount of the debt security. The Company records an impairment loss in its consolidated statement of operations representing the difference between the debt securities carrying value and the current fair value as of the date of the impairment if the Company determines that it intends to sell the debt security or if that it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of the amortized cost basis. However, the impairment loss is split between a credit loss and a non-credit loss for debt securities that the Company determines that it does not intend to sell or that it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the debt securities before the recovery of the amortized cost basis. The credit loss portion, which is measured as the difference between the debt security’s cost basis and the present value of expected future cash flows, is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The non-credit loss portion, which is measured as the difference between the debt security’s cost basis and its current fair value, is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Equity securities Equity securities are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of equity securities are recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations within the caption titled “change in fair value of equity securities”. The Company may elect to measure equity securities without readily determinable fair values at its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer (“cost minus changes in observable prices equity securities”). Changes in the fair value of the Company’s cost minus changes in observable prices equity securities are discussed in Note 9. The Company performs a qualitative assessment on a quarterly basis and recognizes an impairment loss if there are sufficient indicators that the fair value of the equity security is less than its carrying value. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Policy reserves and liabilities Reserves for policy benefits and claims payable The Company determines its reserves for policy benefits under its life insurance products using models which estimate claims incurred that have not been reported, expenses that are expected to be incurred when settling these claims, and the total present value of disability claims-in-payment at the balance sheet date. These models allow for best estimate assumptions based on experience (where sufficient) plus a risk adjustment for non-financial risk, as required in the markets in which these products are offered, namely South Africa. The best estimate assumptions include (i) mortality and morbidity assumptions reflecting the company’s most recent experience, (ii) expense assumptions based on the expected claims handling cost and (iii) claim reporting delays reflecting Company specific and industry experience. The disability claims-in-payment reserve is largely reinsured and the reported values were based on the reserve held by the relevant reinsurer. The values of matured guaranteed endowments are increased by late payment interest. Deposits on investment contracts For the Company’s interest-sensitive life contracts, liabilities approximate the policyholder’s account value. Reinsurance contracts held The Company enters into reinsurance contracts with reinsurers under which the Company is compensated for the entire amount or a portion of losses arising on one or more of the insurance contracts it issues. The expected benefits to which the Company is entitled under its reinsurance contracts held are recognized as reinsurance assets. These assets consist of short-term balances due from reinsurers (classified within Accounts receivable, net and other receivables) as well as long-term receivables (classified within other long-term assets) that are dependent on the expected claims and benefits arising under the related reinsurance contracts. Amounts recoverable from or due to reinsurers are measured consistently with the amounts associated with the reinsured contracts and in accordance with the terms of each reinsurance contract. Reinsurance assets are assessed for impairment at each balance sheet date. If there is reliable objective evidence that amounts due may not be recoverable, the Company reduces the carrying amount of the reinsurance asset to its recoverable amount and recognizes that impairment loss in its consolidated statement of operations. Reinsurance premiums are recognized when due for payment under each reinsurance contract. Redeemable common stock Common stock that is redeemable (1) at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, (2) at the option of the holder, or (3) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of Company is presented outside of total Lesaka equity (i.e. permanent equity). Redeemable common stock is initially recognized at issuance date fair value and the Company does not adjust the issuance date fair value if redemption is not probable. The Company re-measures the redeemable common stock to the maximum redemption amount at the balance sheet date once redemption is probable. Reduction in the carrying amount of the redeemable common stock is only appropriate to the extent that the Company has previously recorded increases in the carrying amount of the redeemable equity instrument as the redeemable common stock may not be carried at an amount that is less than the initial amount reported outside of permanent equity. Redeemable common stock is reclassified as permanent equity when presentation outside permanent equity is no longer required (if, for example, a redemption feature lapses, or there is a modification of the terms of the instrument). The existing carrying amount of the redeemable common stock is reclassified to permanent equity at the date of the event that caused the reclassification and prior period consolidated financial statements are not adjusted. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations based on observable standalone selling prices. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Nature of products and services Acquiring The Company provides its customers with acquiring processing services that involve the collection, transmittal and retrieval of all transaction data in exchange for consideration upon completion of the transaction and recognizes revenue from these activities at a point in time. In certain instances, the Company also provides a funds collection and settlement service for its customers and recognizes revenue from these activities at a point in time. ADP The Company purchases airtime vouchers for resale to customers and acts as a principal in these transactions. Airtime purchased for resale is included in inventory and released to cost of goods sold, IT processing, servicing and support upon sale of the inventory. The Company negotiates and agrees sales prices for airtime sales with its customers and revenue is measured at the agreed contractual price. The Company recognizes revenue when the airtime is delivered to the customer. The Company, as a transaction processor and in the capacity of an agent, facilitates the delivery of ADP to its customers (including prepaid airtime vouchers, prepaid electricity and gaming vouchers) and earns a commission once these services are delivered to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue from these activities at a point in time. Revenue from these transactions fluctuates based on the volume of ADP services distributed. The Company provides its customers with transaction processing services that involve the collection, transmittal and retrieval of all transaction data (including related to bill payments) in exchange for consideration upon completion of the transaction and recognizes revenue from these activities at a point in time. In certain instances, the Company also provides a funds collection and settlement service for its customers and recognizes revenue from these activities at a point in time. Cash The Company provides customers with cash management and digitization services which enables its merchant customers to deposit cash into digital vaults operated by the Company, after which the funds are then electronically accessible by customers to either transfer to their nominated bank account or to pay certain pre-selected suppliers and recognizes revenue from these activities at a point in time. The Company considers each of these services as a single performance obligation. The Company’s contracts specify a transaction price for services provided. Cash revenue fluctuates based on the type and the volume of transactions processed. Revenue is recognized on the completion of the processed transaction and recognizes revenue at a point in time. Software The Company provides rental and support services under a master rental agreement with customers. Control of the rental asset is transferred through the right of use on a monthly basis as per the master rental agreement terms. Customers are required to pay the monthly rental and support fee in advance. The performance obligation for the service component is provided over the month and revenue is recognized at the end of the month. The Company recognizes revenue from these activities over time. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Revenue recognition (continued) Nature of products and services (continued) Lending The Company provides short-term loans to merchants in South Africa and levies interest on the amount lent. The Company does not charge these customers up-front initiation fees or monthly service fees. Interest earned from customers is recognized using the effective interest rate method, which requires the utilization of the rate of return implicit in the loan, that is, the contractual interest rate adjusted for any net deferred loan fees or costs, premium, or discount existing at the origination or acquisition of the loan. The interest rate included in the contract with the customer generally changes with changes to benchmark rates of interest set by the South African Reserve Bank (“SARB”). The Company also provides short-term loans to customers (consumers) in South Africa and charges up-front initiation fees, interest and monthly service fees. Interest earned from customers is recognized using the effective interest rate method, which requires the utilization of the rate of return implicit in the loan, that is, the contractual interest rate adjusted for any net deferred loan initiation fees or costs, premium, or discount existing at the origination or acquisition of the loan. Monthly service fee revenue is recognized under the contractual terms of the loan. The monthly service fee are earned over time and is fixed upon initiation and does not change over the term of the loan and is recognized when billed on a monthly basis. Transactional fees Customers serviced by the Company’s Consumer operating segment that have a bank account managed by the Company are issued cards that can be utilized to withdraw funds at an ATM or to transact at a merchant point of sale device (“POS”). The Company also earns transaction fees from transactions processed for these customers. The Company’s contracts specify a transaction price for each service provided (for instance, ATM withdrawal, balance enquiry, etc.). Transaction revenue fluctuates based on the type and volume of transactions performed by the customer. Revenue is recognized on the completion of the processed transaction at a point in time. The Company also provides bank accounts to customers and this service is underwritten by a regulated banking institution because the Company is not a bank. The Company charges its customers a fixed monthly bank account administration fee for all active bank accounts regardless of whether the account holder has transacted or not. The Company recognizes account holder fees on a monthly basis on all active bank accounts, which are earned over time and billed on a monthly basis. Revenue from account holders’ fees fluctuates based on the number of active bank accounts. Insurance The Company writes life insurance contracts, and policy holders pay the Company a monthly insurance premium at the beginning of each month. Premium revenue is recognized on a monthly basis net of policy lapses. Policy lapses are provided for on the basis of expected non-payment of policy premiums. Utilities The Company facilitates the delivery of prepaid electricity tokens to its customers and earns a commission from the delivery of these tokens. The Company recognizes revenue from these activities at a point in time. Other The Company supplies hardware and licenses for its customers to use the Company’s technology. Hardware includes the sale of POS devices, SIM cards and other consumables which can occur on an ad hoc basis. The Company recognizes revenue from hardware at the transaction price specified in the contract as the hardware is delivered to the customer. Licenses include the right to access certain technology developed by the Company and the associated revenue is recognized ratably over the license period. Accounts Receivable, Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities The Company recognizes accounts receivable when its right to consideration under its contracts with customers becomes u nconditional. The Company has no contract assets or contract liabilities. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Research and development expenditure Research and development expenditure is charged to net income in the period in which it is incurred. During the years ended June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred research and development expenditures of $ 0.8 0.5 0.5 million, respectively. Computer software development Product development costs in respect of software intended for sale to licensees are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility is attained. Technological feasibility is attained when the Company’s software has completed system testing and has been determined to be viable for its intended use. Once technological feasibility is reached, the Company capitalized such costs and amortizes these costs over the products’ estimated life. The time between the attainment of technological feasibility and completion of software development is generally short with insignificant amounts of development costs incurred during this period. Costs in respect of the development of software for the Company’s internal use are expensed as incurred, except to the extent that these costs are incurred during the application development stage. All other costs including those incurred in the project development and post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability method. This approach recognizes the amount of income taxes payable or refundable for the current year, as well as deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequence of events recognized in the financial statements and tax returns. Deferred taxes are adjusted to reflect the effects of changes in tax laws or rates in the period of enactment. The majority of the Company’s income taxes and deferred tax balances arise in the South Africa. The Company used the enacted statutory tax rate of 27 % for the years ended June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024 to measure current tax expense (benefit) and deferred tax expense (benefit) in South Africa. The Company measured its South African current tax expense for the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and its South African deferred tax assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, using the enacted statutory tax rate in South Africa of 27 %. In establishing the appropriate deferred tax asset valuation allowances, the Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets, and based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, determines whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets or a portion thereof will be realized. The Company does not consider future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences associated with indefinite lived assets where the timing of the reversal cannot be predicted as a source of income to support deferred tax assets for carryforward that do not expire. Unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in the financial statements for positions which are not considered more likely than not, based on the technical merits of the position, of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. For positions that meet the more likely than not standard, the measurement of the tax benefit recognized in the financial statements is based upon the largest amount of tax benefit that, in management’s judgement, is greater than 50% likely of being realized based on a cumulative probability assessment of the possible outcomes. The Company’s policy is to include interest related to income taxes in interest expense and penalties in selling, general and administration in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has elected the period cost method and records U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) as a current-period expense when incurred. Stock-based compensation Stock-based compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted. The Company measures equity-based stock- based compensation cost at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and recognizes the cost as an expense on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service period. In respect of awards with only service conditions that have a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The forfeiture rate is estimated using historical trends of the number of awards forfeited prior to vesting. The expense is recorded in the statement of operations and classified based on the recipients’ respective functions. The Company records deferred tax assets for awards that result in deductions on the Company’s income tax returns, based on the amount of compensation cost recognized and the Company’s statutory tax rate in the jurisdiction in which it will receive a deduction. Differences between the deferred tax assets recognized for financial reporting purposes and the actual tax deduction reported on the Company’s income tax r eturn are recorded in income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Equity instruments issued to third parties Equity instruments issued to third parties for services provided represents the cost related to equity instruments granted. The Company measures this cost at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and recognizes the cost as an expense on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service period. The forfeiture rate is estimated based on the Company’s expectation of the number of awards that will be forfeited prior to vesting. The Company records deferred tax assets for equity instrument awards that result in deductions on the Company’s income tax returns, based on the amount of equity instrument cost recognized and the Company’s statutory tax rate in the jurisdiction in which it will receive a deduction. Differences between the deferred tax assets recognized for financial reporting purposes and the actual tax deduction reported on the Company’s income tax return are recorded in the statement of operations. Settlement assets and settlement obligations The Company provides customers with cash management and digitization services which enable its merchant customers to deposit cash into digital vaults operated by the Company, after which the funds are then electronically accessible by customers to either transfer to their nominated bank account or to pay certain pre-selected suppliers. Settlement assets comprise (1) cash received from merchant customers from cash deposits into the Company’s vaults, which are then electronically accessible by customers to either transfer to their nominated bank account or to pay certain pre-selected suppliers, (2) cash received from credit card companies (as well as other types of payment services) which have business relationships with merchants selling goods and services that are the Company’s customers and on whose behalf it processes the transactions between various parties, and (3) cash received from gift card customers. Settlement obligations comprise (1) amounts that the Company is obligated to disburse to merchant customers or to their nominated pre-selected suppliers, (2) amounts that the Company is obligated to disburse to merchants selling goods and services that are the Company’s customers and on whose behalf it processes the transactions between various parties and settles the funds from the credit card companies to the Company’s merchant customers, and (3) amounts that the Company is obliged to pay to various parties as a result of transaction performed using gift cards. The balances at each reporting date may vary widely depending on the timing of the receipts and payments of these assets and obligations. Recent accounting pronouncements adopted In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance regarding to improve income tax disclosure requirements. The guidance requires entities, on an annual basis, to (1) disclose specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pre-tax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). This guidance was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2025 for its year ended June 30, 2026. Refer to Note 18. Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of June 30, 2026 In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance regarding Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. The guidance does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2027, and interim reporting periods during that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures. In July 2025, the FASB issued guidance regarding Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets which amends current guidance to provide a practical expedient (for all entities) and an accounting policy election (for all entities, other than public business entities, that elect the practical expedient) related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606). This guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2026, and interim reporting periods during that fiscal year. The Company will apply the guidance from the effective date and elect the practical expedient. The Company does not expect the impact of this guidance to be material on its financial statements and related d isclosures. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of June 30, 2026 (continued) On September 18, 2025, the FASB issued guidance regarding Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) which amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under ASC 350-40. The new guidance makes targeted improvements to existing guidance but does not fully align the framework for accounting for internally developed software costs that are subject to ASC 350-40 with the framework applied to software to be sold or marketed externally that is subject to guidance regarding Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed also does not amend the guidance on costs of software licenses that are within the scope of ASC 985 -20. The amendments supersede the guidance on website development costs in guidance regarding Website Development Costs (Subtopic ASC 350-50) that guidance, along with the recognition requirements for development costs specific to websites, to ASC 350 -40. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2028, and interim reporting periods during that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the guidance prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified prospective transition method. The modified prospective transition approach would allow entities to account for an in-process project that, before the transition date, met the capitalization requirements but would no longer meet the requirements for capitalization under the new guidance by derecognizing the capitalized costs for that in-process project through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures. On December 8, 2025, the FASB issued guidance regarding Interim Reporting (Topic 270) which is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270 and clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides “interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP.” The updated guidance also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, adds lists to ASC 270 of the interim disclosures required by all other Codification topics, and establishes a principle under which an entity must “disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity.” As the FASB stated in the proposed guidance and reiterates in the ASU, the amendments are not intended to “change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim disclosure requirements.” This guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2028, and interim reporting periods during that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. Entities m ay apply the guidance prospectively or retrospectively. |
