“We depend on the ability and experience of a number of our key personnel who have substantial experience with our operations, the rapidly changing payment processing industry and the vertical markets in which we offer our products and services.

Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technological, management and marketing resources than we have. Accordingly, if these competitors target our business model and, in particular, the vertical markets that we serve, they may be able to offer more attractive fees or payment terms and advances to our clients and more attractive compensation to our software integration partners. They also may be able to offer and provide services and solutions that we do not offer.

If such efforts are successful, we could experience reduced transaction volumes, pricing pressure or the loss of servicesclient to our existing and potential clients. This competition may effectively limit the prices we can charge, cause us to increase the compensation we pay to our software integration partners and require us to control costs aggressively in order to maintain acceptable profit margins.relationships.
There are also a large number of small providers of processing services, including emerging technology and non-traditional payment processing companies, that provide various ranges of services to our existing and potential clients. This competition may effectively limit the prices we can charge, cause us to increase the compensation we pay to our software integration partners and require us to control costs aggressively in order to maintain acceptable profit margins.
Although we generally require that our agreements with our software integration partners or service providers include confidentiality obligations that restrict these parties from using or disclosing any client or consumer data except as necessary to perform their services under the applicable agreements,obligations, we cannot guarantee that these contractual measures will prevent the unauthorized use, modification, destruction or disclosure of data or allow us to seek reimbursement from the contracted party. In addition, many of our clients are small and medium-sized businesses that may have limited competency regarding data security and handling requirements and may thus experience data breaches. Any unauthorized use, modification, destruction or disclosure of data could result in protracted and costly litigation and the incurrence of significant losses by us.
Security breaches may be subject to scrutiny from governmental agencies such as the CFPB, the FTC andFTC, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights.Rights, state attorneys general and the CFPB. See “Risks Related to Regulation” below.
The electronic payments market is subject to constant and significant changes. This market is characterized by rapid technological evolution, new product and service introductions, evolving industry standards, changing client needs and the entrance of new competitors, including products and services that enable card networks and banks to transact with consumers directly. For example, in July 2023, the U.S. Federal Reserve launched its FedNow Service that enables individuals and businesses to send instant payments through their depositary institution accounts. To remain competitive, we continually pursue initiatives to develop new products and services to compete with these new market entrants. These projects carry risks, such as difficulty in determining market demand and timing for delivery, cost overruns, delays in delivery, performance problems and lack of client acceptance, and some projects may require investment in non-revenue generating products or services that our software integration partners and clients expect to be included in our offerings. In addition, newadvances productsin automation, data analytics and offeringsartificial mayintelligence notare performincreasingly asbeing intendedincorporated orinto generatepayment processing, risk management, compliance and customer support workflows across the business or revenue growth expected.industry.
To remain competitive, we continually pursue initiatives to develop new products and services and to enhance existing solutions. These projects carry risks, such as difficulty in determining market demand and timing for delivery, cost overruns, delays in delivery, data quality challenges and integration complexity, performance problems and lack of client acceptance, and some projects may require investment in non-revenue generating products or services that our software integration partners and clients expect to be included in our offerings. In addition, new products and offerings may not perform as intended or generate the business or revenue growth expected.
The continued growth and development of our payment processing services and solutions will depend on our ability to anticipate and adapt to changes in consumer and business behavior.behavior, client expectations and technology adoption. Any failure to timely integrate emerging payment methods into our software, to anticipate consumer or business behavior changes or to contract with processing partners that support such emerging payment technologies could cause us to lose traction among our clients or referral sources, including industry associations, resulting in a corresponding loss of revenue, if those methods become popular among end-users of their services.
Our products and services are designed to process complex transactions and provide reports and other information on those transactions, all at very high volumes and processing speeds. Our technology offerings must also integrate with a variety of network, hardware, mobile and software platforms and technologies, and we need to continuously modify and enhance our products and services to adapt to changes and innovation in these technologies. Any failure to deliver an effective, reliable and secure service or any performance issue that arises with a new product or service could result in significant processing or reporting errors or other losses. If we do not deliver a promised new product or service to our clients or software integration partners in a timely manner or the product or service does not perform as anticipated, our development efforts could result in increased costs and a loss in business, reducing our earnings and causing a loss of revenue. We also rely in part on third parties, including some of our competitors and potential competitors, for the development of and access to, or production of, new technologies, including software and hardware. For example, we rely on our software integration partners to integrate our services and products into the software platforms being used by our clients. Our future success will depend in part on our ability to develop or adapt to technological changes and evolving industry standards.standards (including those related to automation and artificial intelligence). If we are unable to develop, adapt to or access technological changes or evolving industry standards on a timely and cost-effective basis, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
The electronic payment industry depends heavily on the overall level of consumer and commercial spending. We are exposed to general economic conditions that affect consumer confidence, consumer spending, consumer discretionary income and changes in consumer purchasing habits, including natural disasters and health emergencies, including earthquakes, fires, power outages, typhoons, floods, pandemics or epidemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) and manmade events such as civil unrest, labor disruption, international trade disputes, international conflicts, terrorism, wars and critical infrastructure attacks. A sustained deterioration in general economic conditions, particularly in the United States, continued uncertainty for an extended period of time, persistent inflation or increases in interest rates, could adversely affect our financial performance by reducing the number or aggregate volume of transactions made using electronic payments. Our consumer finance and mortgage clients may be disproportionately impacted by increased interest rates or a general economic downturn, which could result in a decrease to our revenue and profits. If our consumer finance or mortgage clients make fewer or smaller loans (or their borrowers fail to make required payments), or consumers and businesses spend less money through electronic payments, we will have fewer transactions to process at lower dollar amounts, resulting in lower revenue. Smaller tax refunds to consumers, due to the absence of additional stimulus or similar impacts or otherwise, could also negatively impact our results of operations.
We depend on the ability and experience of a number of our key personnel who have substantial experience with our operations, the rapidly changing payment processing industry and the vertical markets in which we offer our products and services. Our success depends in part on the continued service and expertise of our senior management and other key personnel, many of whom have developed significant institutional knowledge and industry experience. Our senior leaders and other key employees have developed important relationships with the card networks and our sponsor banks, key clients, software integration partners and other payment processing and service providers, and the loss of one or more of these individuals could disrupt our operations, strategic initiatives or client relationships. From time to time, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, turnover in key management or other critical roles, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain or replace such personnel with individuals possessing comparable experience, expertise or industry relationships on a timely basis, or at all.
We depend on the ability and experience of a number of our key personnel who have substantial experience with our operations, the rapidly changing payment processing industry and the vertical markets in which we offer our products and services. Many of our key personnel have worked for us for a significant amount of time or were recruited by us specifically due to their experience. Our success depends in part upon the reputation and influence within the industry of our senior managers who have, over the years, developed long standing and favorable relationships with our software integration partners, vendors, card associations, sponsor banks and other payment processing and service providers. It is possible that the loss of the services of senior executives or key managers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, contractual obligations related to confidentiality assignment of intellectual property rights, non-solicitation and non-competition may be ineffective or unenforceable, and departing employees may share our proprietary information with competitors or seek to solicit our software integration partners or clients or recruit our key personnel to competing businesses in ways that could adversely impact us.
Periods of actual or perceived stress in the banking or broader financial services sector—whether resulting from liquidity concerns, changes in regulatory expectations, macroeconomic conditions or other factors—could adversely affect the financial institutions with which we do business or the terms on which they provide services to us. Any failure of, or material adverse development affecting, one or more of our sponsor banks or other financial institution counterparties, or market concerns regarding their financial condition, could impair our liquidity, disrupt our ability to process transactions for clients, or negatively affect our relationships with clients and partner. Similarly, adverse developments affecting the financial institutions on which our clients rely could negatively impact our clients’ operations or financial condition, which in turn could reduce payment volumes processed through our platform or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We do not believe we have been materially and adversely impacted by the financial institution failures that began with the closure of Silicon Valley Bank in March 2023. While we continue to monitor developments in the banking sector, we cannot guarantee that there will not be similar issues with any of the financial institutions with whom we maintain relationships. The failure of or any other adverse development impacting one or more of our financial institution relationships (or rumors or concerns about such events) could adversely affect our liquidity, our ability to process transactions for our clients or our client relationships. Similarly, our clients could be adversely affected by any bank failure or other adverse event involving their financial institution relationships, which could result in a decrease in the amount of payment volume we receive from these clients.
We and the clients we serve are subject to numerous federal and state regulations that affect the electronic payments industry. RegulationThe ofregulatory environment applicable to our industry has increased significantly in recent yearsbusiness and our clients’ businesses is constantlycomplex, evolving.fragmented and subject to change, and regulatory priorities, interpretations and enforcement approaches may vary over time due to legal, policy, funding and administrative factors. Changes to statutes, regulations or industry standards, including interpretation and implementation of statutes, regulations or standards, could increase our cost of doing business or affect the competitive balance. Failure to comply with regulations may have an adverse effect on our business, including the limitation, suspension or termination of services provided to, or by, third parties, and the imposition of penalties or fines. To the extent these regulations negatively impact the business, operations or financial condition of our clients, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected because, among other matters, our clients could have less capacity to purchase products and services from us, could decide to avoid or abandon certain lines of business, or could seek to pass on increased costs to us by negotiating price reductions. We could be required to invest a significant amount of time and resources to comply with additional regulations or oversight or to modify the manner in which we contract with or provide products and services to our clients; and those regulations could directly or indirectly limit how much we can charge for our services. We may not be able to update our existing products and services, or develop new ones, to satisfy our client’ needs. Any of these events, if realized, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Similarly, our clients in the receivables management industry are subject to a complex and evolving framework of federal and state laws and regulations that govern debt collection practices. These requirements are enforced by multiple regulatory authorities and, in some cases, through private litigation, and regulatory priorities, interpretations and enforcement approaches may vary over time. Increased scrutiny of debt collection practices—whether through rulemaking, guidance, supervisory activity or enforcement actions—could result in investigations, penalties or required changes to our clients’ business practices. In addition, the FDCPA and comparable state laws provide for private rights of action against debt collectors, including the potential for actual damages, statutory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs.
Similarly, our clients in the receivables management industry are typically subject to federal and state rules and regulations that establish specific requirements and procedures that debt collectors must follow when collecting consumer accounts. The CFPB and the FTC have devoted substantial attention to debt collection activities, and, as a result, the CFPB and the FTC have brought multiple investigations and enforcement actions against debt collectors for violations of the FDCPA and other applicable laws. Continued regulatory scrutiny by the CFPB and the FTC over debt collection practices may result in additional investigations and enforcement actions against our clients in the receivables management industry. The FDCPA also provides for private rights of action against debt collectors, and permits debtors to recover actual damages, statutory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs for violations of its terms.
We provide payment processing services through our various operating subsidiaries. We, along with our third party service providers, use structural arrangements designed to remove our activities from the scope of money transmitter regulation.
We provide payment processing services through our various operating subsidiaries. We, along with our third party service providers, use structural arrangements designed to remove our activities from the scope of money transmitter regulation. There can be no assurance that these structural arrangements will remain effective as money transmitter laws continue to evolve or that the applicable regulatory bodies, particularly state agencies, will view our payment processing activities as compliant. Any determination that we are in fact required to be licensed under the state money transmission statutes may require substantial expenditures of time and money and could lead to liability in the nature of penalties or fines, which would have a materially adverse effect on our business and our financial results.
On July 10, 2024, we increased our existing senior secured credit facilities to a $250.0 million revolving credit facility pursuant to an amendment to the revolving credit agreement with Truist Bank and certain other lenders (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”). On January 19, 2021, we issued $440.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). On July 8, 2024, we repurchased $220.0 million of the 2026 Notes. Additionally, on July 8, 2024, we issued $287.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2.875% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). On August 22, 2025, we repurchased $73.5 million of the 2026 Notes. On or about February 2, 2026, we used borrowings from the Second Amended Credit Agreement, together with some of our cash hand, to satisfy the remaining obligations under the 2026 Notes. Our ability to service our obligations under our indebtedness, including the 2026 Notes, the 2029 Notes and any indebtedness we have incurred or may further incur under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. If we are unable to generate the necessary cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional debt financing or equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive.
Our indebtedness under the Second Amended Credit Agreement bears interest at a variable rate, primarily based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), and, as a result, our interest expense may increase if market interest rates rise, which could adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations.
We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the 2026 Notes or the 2029 Notes, or to repurchase the 2026 Notes or the 2029 Notes upon a fundamental change, and our future debt may contain, limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversion or repurchase of the 2026 Notes and the 2029 Notes.
Holders of the 2026 Notes and the 2029 Notes (together “Notes”) have the right to require us to repurchase their 2029 Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change at a repurchase price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Upon conversion of the 2026 Notes, unless we elect to cause to be delivered solely shares of our Class A common stock to settle such conversion, we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the 2026 Notes being converted. In addition, upon conversion of the 2029 Notes, we will be required to make cash payments up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes being converted and in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation, we may elect to make cash payments or deliver shares of our Class A common stock, or a combination, to settle such conversion. However, we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make repurchases of the 2029 Notes surrendered therefor or to pay cash with respect to the 2029 Notes being converted.
In addition, our ability to repurchase the 2029 Notes or to pay cash upon conversion of the 2029 Notes may be limited by law, by regulatory authority or by agreements governing our future indebtedness. Our failure to repurchase the 2029 Notes at a time when the repurchase is required by the indenture governing the 2026 Notes and the indenture governing the 2029 Notes (together the “indenturesindenture”) or to pay any cash payable on future conversions of the 2029 Notes as required by the indentures,indenture, would constitute a default under the indentures.indenture. A default under the indentures,indenture, or the fundamental change itself, could also lead to a default under our Second Amended Credit Agreement and other agreements governing our existing or future indebtedness. If the repayment of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness, repurchase, make interest payments on or make cash payments upon conversion of the 2029 Notes.
The conditional conversion feature of the 2026 Notes and the 2029 Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
In the event the conditional conversion feature of the 2026 Notes is triggered, holders of the 2026 Notes will be entitled to convert their 2026 Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their 2026 Notes, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our Class A common stock, we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their 2026 Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the 2026 Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.
In the event the conditional conversion feature of the 2029 Notes is triggered, holders of the 2029 Notes will be entitled to convert their 2029 Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their notes,2029 Notes, we would be required to settle any converted principal amount of such notes through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their notes,2029 Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the notes2029 Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.
Provisions in the indenturesindenture could delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover of the Company
Certain provisions of the 2029 Notes and the indenturesindenture could make a third party attempt to acquire us more difficult or expensive. For example, if a takeover constitutes a fundamental change, then we will be required to make an offer to the holders of the 2029 Notes to repurchase for cash all or part of their outstanding 2029 Notes. In addition, if a takeover constitutes a make-whole fundamental change, then we may be required to increase the conversion rate temporarily. In either case, and in other cases, our obligations under the 2029 Notes could increase the cost of acquiring us or otherwise discourage a third party from acquiring us or removing incumbent management, including in a transaction that you may view as favorable.
We are a holding company and our only material asset is our interest in Hawk Parent, and we are accordingly dependent upon distributions made by our subsidiaries to pay taxes, make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, meet our financial obligations under the 2026Second NotesAmended Credit Agreement or the 2029 Notes and pay dividends.
Hawk Parent has outstanding an aggregate of 5,379,5435,285,883 Post-Merger Repay Units as of FebruaryMarch 25,4, 2024.2026. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Repay Unitholders have the right to elect to exchange such Post-Merger Repay Units into shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to the terms of the Exchange Agreement. However, Hawk Parent may elect to settle such exchange in cash in lieu of delivering shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement.
We also have outstanding $220 million aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes and $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of our 2029 Notes which are convertible into shares of our Class A common stock in certain circumstances. Investors will incur further dilution upon the conversion of any of our convertible senior notes if we elect to deliver shares of Class A common stock upon such conversion. In the future, we may also issue additional securities in connection with investments, acquisitions or capital raising activities, which could constitute a material portion of our then-outstanding shares of our Class A common stock and may result in additional dilution to investors or adversely impact the price of our Class A common stock.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income prior to interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to add back certain charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as loss on business disposition, gain on extinguishment of debt, non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities, share-based compensation charges, transaction expenses, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs and other non-recurring charges.
Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income prior to amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, as adjusted to add back certain charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as loss on business disposition, gain on extinguishment of debt, non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities, share-based compensation expense, transaction expenses, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs, other non-recurring charges, non-cash interest expense and net of tax effect associated with these adjustments. Adjusted Net Income is adjusted to exclude amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Management believes that the adjustment of acquisition-related intangible amortization supplements GAAP financial measures because it allows for greater comparability of operating performance. Although we exclude amortization from acquisition-related intangibles from our non-GAAP expenses, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangibles were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.

We have experienced in the past, and may continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in our volumes and revenues as a result of consumer spending and political media spending patterns. Volumes and revenuesRevenues during the first quarter of the calendar year tend to increase in comparison to the remaining three quarters of the calendar year on a same store basis.year. This increase is due to consumers’ receipt of tax refunds and the increases in repayment activity levels that follow. In addition, Business Payments revenue from clients in our media payments business is cyclical. Revenue connected to political advertising spending increases significantly during the third and fourth quarter of election years, such as the mid-term and presidential election cycles. Operating expenses show less seasonal fluctuation, with the result that net income is subject to the similar seasonal factors as our volumes and revenues.

Business Combinations
We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, the consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of an acquired business starting from the closing date of the acquisition.
All assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. We allocate the purchase price of an acquired business to the fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with any excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. Contingent consideration, if any, is included within the purchase price and is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date. The application of the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations and determination of fair value requires management to make judgments and may involve the use of significant estimates, including assumptions related to estimated future revenues, growth rates, cash flows, and discount rates, among other items. Management generally evaluates fair value at acquisition using three valuation techniques–the replacement cost, market and income methods–and weights the valuation methods based on what is most appropriate in the circumstances. The process of assigning fair values, particularly to acquired intangible assets, is highly subjective. Management also typically utilizes third party valuation specialists to assist in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Fair value estimates are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable, but are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used, the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements may be exposed to potential impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill as discussed in the “Impairment” section below. The determination of fair value is considered a critical accounting estimate because the valuation techniques mentioned use significant estimates and assumptions, including projected future revenues, the expected economic life of the asset, tax rates and a discount rate that reflects the level of risk associated with the future earnings attributable to the asset.
During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be recorded, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

Consumer Payments – Our Consumer Payments segment provides an end-to-end bill payment platform, including bill design & presentment, communication services, and payment processing solutions (including debit and credit card processing, ACH processing and other electronic payment acceptance solutions, as well as our loan disbursement product) that enable our clients to notify, distribute billing statements, collect payments from and disburse funds to consumers and includes our RCS offering. RCS is our proprietary clearing and settlement platform through which we market customizable payment processing programs to other ISOs and payment facilitators. In addition, the Company provides professional services to clients for customization and configuration of the product suite offering. The strategic vertical markets served by our Consumer Payments segment primarily include utilities, personal loans, automotive loans, government, receivables management, financial institutions, credit unions, mortgage servicing, consumer healthcarehealthcare, insurance, and diversified retail.
We have been monitoring the current economic environment in the U.S. and globally – characterized by heightened inflation (including changes in wages), evolving U.S. trade policies, supply chain issues and slower growth. Such macroeconomic conditions may continue to evolve in ways that are difficult to fully anticipate and may also include increased levels of unemployment and/or a recession. Some or all of these market factors have and could continue to adversely affect our payment volumes from the consumer loan market, the receivables management industry and consumer and commercial spending. The effect of these events on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. Finally, the impact of all of these various events on our results in the first threesix months of 2026 may not be necessarily indicative of their impact on our results for the remainder of 2026.
Revenue. As our clients process increased volumes of payments, our revenues increase as a result of the fees we charge for processing these payments. Most of our revenues are derived from volume-based payment processing fees (“discount fees”) and other related fixed per transaction fees. Discount fees represent a percentage of the dollar amount of each credit or debit transaction processed and include fees relating to processing and services that we provide. The transaction price for such processing services is determined, based on the judgment of management, considering factors such as margin objectives, pricing practices and controls, client segment pricing strategies, the product life cycle and the observable price of the service charged to similarly situated clients. During the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, our chargeback rate was less than 1% of our card payment volume. With the KUBRA Acquisition, a portion of revenues are derived from bill presentment, communication services, and professional services solutions. Revenues derived from our bill presentment solutions represent a fixed fee per bill, which includes the design, preparation, printing, and distribution of paper or electronic bills, invoices, and documents. Communication services solutions primarily consist of automated messaging, including text and email communications, and service outage notifications for our utility clients. Revenues derived from communication services represent a fixed fee per an interaction, annual subscription fees, and annual maintenance and support fees. In addition, the Company provides professional services to clients for customization and configuration of the product suite offering. Revenues from professional services are recognized on a contract basis.
Interest expense. Interest expense consists of interest paid in respect of our indebtedness under the convertible senior notes and revolving credit facility, asTerm wellLoan asFacility and convertible senior notes, amortization of deferred debt issuance costs.costs and interest on finance lease liabilities.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income prior to interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to add back certain charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as gain on extinguishment of debt, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities, share-based compensation charges, transaction expenses, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs and other non-recurring charges.
Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income prior to amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, as adjusted to add back certain charges deemed to not be part of normal operating expenses, non-cash charges and/or non-recurring charges, such as non-cash impairment loss, non-cash change in fair value of assets and liabilities, share-based compensation expense, transaction expenses, restructuring and other strategic initiative costs, other non-recurring charges, non-cash interest expense and net of tax effect associated with these adjustments. Adjusted Net Income is adjusted to exclude amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Management believes that the adjustment of acquisition-related intangible amortization supplements GAAP financial measures because it allows for greater comparability of operating performance. Although we exclude amortization from acquisition-related intangibles from our non-GAAP expenses, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangibles were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.
