Operational Highlights
The Company has organized its business through three channels:
Core global commerce(3) is the Company’s largest and fastest growing channel. Revenue grew 16% year-over-year, to $172 million. Organic core global commerce revenue growth excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency was 34% with Organic core global commerce revenue excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency increasing to $152.1 million from $113.2 million. Organic revenue growth excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies was 35% with Organic revenue excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies increasing to $152.4 million from $113.2 million. Core global commerce represented 56% of Nuvei’s revenue in the second quarter of 2023;
Emerging B2B, government & integrated payments channel(3) revenue grew 13% year-over-year on a pro forma basis(1)(7), to $54 million and represented 18% of the Company’s revenue in the second quarter of 2023; and
Legacy small and medium sized businesses (“SMB”) channel(3) revenue declined 5% year-over-year on a pro forma basis(1)(7), to $81 million and represented 26% of revenue in the second quarter of 2023.
From a regional perspective, revenue for the second quarter of 2023 increased 108% to $173.9 million in North America, remained stable at $119.2 million in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), increased 77% to $12.3 million in Latin America (“LATAM”), and increased 67% to $1.7 million in Asia Pacific (“APAC”).
The integration of Paya and achievement of the estimated $21 million cost synergies within 24 months post-closing is currently progressing according to plan. Additionally, the Company has begun to execute on its strategy to realize between $50 million and $100 million of estimated new revenue synergy opportunities by 2027.
Nuvei signed several new customers and expanded wallet share with existing customers across channels and geographical regions;
In Core global commerce(3), the Company signed Cart.com, RentCars, and InDrive, amongst many others including one of the fastest-growing global online marketplaces, and three top-20 global airlines;     
In the Emerging channel:
In B2B, the Company expanded its TAM by adding two new global enterprise resource and planning (“ERP”) leaders, Infor and SAP to its list of partners. The Company also expanded its existing ERP engagements beyond the United States to all reaches of the globe. New accounts increased 27% year-over-year, which the Company believes contributes to the growth potential of B2B;
In Government, the Company onboarded the US Virgin Islands, the cities of St. Petersburg (Florida) and Erie (Colorado) to support public water utilities, and Llano County (Texas), for processing property taxes, amongst many other wins;
In Integrated Payments, the Company partnered with two large integrated software vendors (“ISVs”) each processing over $1 billion of annual volume and servicing over 20,000 unique locations across North America.
In terms of technology, product and innovation, the Company:
Further scaled the business with over 16 million daily interactions, and innovated with 36 releases year-to-date driving 2,500 new enhancements;
Added multiple new alternative payment methods (“APMs”), increasing its portfolio to 634 at the end of the second quarter, expanding access and allowing its customers to accept more forms of regionally familiar and preferred digital payment methods;



Launched its artificial intelligence (AI)-driven data and analytics platform providing insights that help optimize approval rates for its customers;
Continued to advance its domestic processing capabilities for global airline customers;
Released the first phase of its new global chargeback suite, which is expected to benefit customers by automating significant portions of the dispute resolution process.
Nuvei expanded its Board of Directors to eight members with the appointment of independent director Coretha Rushing, who joins the Nuvei Board with over 36 years of human resources experience. Ms. Rushing has held numerous executive leadership positions, including at Equifax, The Coca-Cola Company, and IBM. She currently serves on the Boards of Directors of thredUP and 2U, Inc.
The Company ended the second quarter of 2023 with 2,089 employees.

Cash Dividend
Nuvei today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized and declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per subordinate voting share and multiple voting share, payable on September 5, 2023 to shareholders of record as of August 21, 2023. The aggregate amount of the dividend is expected to be approximately $15 million, to be funded from the Company’s existing cash on hand.
The Company, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any similar provincial or territorial legislation, designates the dividend declared for the quarter ending June 30, 2023, and any future dividends, to be eligible dividends. The Company further expects to report such dividend as a dividend to U.S. shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Subject to applicable limitations, dividends paid to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders may be eligible for taxation as “qualified dividend income” and therefore may be taxable at rates applicable to long-term capital gains. A U.S. shareholder should talk to its advisor regarding such dividend, including with respect to the “extraordinary dividend” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (US).

The declaration, timing, amount and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors, as more fully described under the heading “Forward-Looking Information” of this press release

Financial Outlook(4)
For the three months ending September 30, 2023 and the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, Nuvei anticipates Total volume(1), Revenue, Revenue at constant currency(2) and Adjusted EBITDA(2) to be in the ranges below. The Company has revised its growth expectations for the second half of the year, primarily due to two factors. The first and more significant factor relates to longer than anticipated lag times in new business. The second factor stems from the Company’s recent decision to exit its relationship with a large customer. The Company estimates it has approximately $100 million in annualized revenue in various stages that it expects to activate within the next four quarters. Nuvei now expects Organic revenue growth excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency(2) to be between 16% and 20% for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

The financial outlook, including the various underlying assumptions, constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws and is fully qualified and based on a number of assumptions and subject to a number of risks described under the headings “Forward-Looking Information” and “Financial Outlook and Growth Targets Assumptions” of this press release.

Growth Targets
In addition to category-leading growth in its Core global commerce channel(3), the Company believes it has a defined path to accelerate the growth in its Emerging B2B, government & integrated payments channel(3) to 20%-plus over the medium term. Given the mix of channels and their expected contribution to consolidated growth, Nuvei is updating its medium-term revenue growth target to a range of 15-20% while the Company executes on expanded end market and distribution opportunities in pursuit of its growth initiatives.
Nuvei’s updated medium-term(5) annual growth target for revenue, as well as its medium-term(5) target for capital expenditures (acquisition of intangible assets and property and equipment) as a percentage of revenue and long-term(5) target for Adjusted EBITDA margin(3), are shown in the table below. Nuvei’s targets are intended to provide insight into the execution of its strategy as it relates to growth, profitability and cash generation. These medium(5) and long-term(5) targets should not be considered as projections, forecasts or expected results but rather goals that we seek to achieve from the execution of our strategy over time, and at a further stage of business maturity, through geographic expansion, product innovation, growing wallet share with existing customers and new customer wins, as more fully described under the heading “Summary of Factors Affecting our Performance” of our most recent Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. These growth targets, including the various underlying assumptions, constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws and are fully qualified and based on a number of assumptions and subject to a number of risks described under the headings “Forward-Looking Information” and “Financial Outlook and Growth Targets Assumptions” of this press release. We will review and revise these growth targets as economic, market and regulatory environments change.

(1) Total volume, Total volume at constant currency, and Total organic volume at constant currency do not represent revenue earned by the Company, but rather the total dollar value of transactions processed by merchants under contractual agreement with the Company. See “Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures”, including definitions of Nuvei pro forma revenue growth, on an aggregate basis and by channel.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin Revenue at constant currency, Revenue growth at constant currency, Organic revenue excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency, Organic revenue growth excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency, Organic core global commerce revenue excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency and Organic core global commerce revenue growth excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net



income per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures are non-IFRS measures and non-IFRS ratios. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. See “Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures”.
(3) The Core global commerce channel, previously referred to as global eCommerce, represents revenue from merchant relationships developed by the Company's sales representatives. The Emerging B2B, government & integrated payments channel represents integrations with software partners back-end Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") accounting solutions and Customer Information System (“CIS”) that focus on B2B and Government customers, as well as integrations with software partners who are vertical focused front-end business practice and financial management software providers. The Legacy small and medium sized businesses channel represents customers who utilize Nuvei’s core technology infrastructure but generally do not originate through a software integration, and are more likely to be known as Small and Medium sized Businesses.
(4) Other than with respect to revenue and capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue, the Company only provides guidance on a non-IFRS basis. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking revenue at constant currency (non-IFRS), Organic revenue growth excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency (non-IFRS) to revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS) to net income (loss) due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation such as predicting the future impact and timing of acquisitions and divestitures, foreign exchange rates and the volatility in digital assets. In periods where significant acquisitions or divestitures are not expected, the Company believes it might have a basis for forecasting the IFRS equivalent for certain costs, such as employee benefits, commissions and depreciation and amortization. However, because other deductions such as share-based payments, net finance costs, gain (loss) on financial instruments carried at fair market value and current and deferred income taxes used to calculate projected net income (loss) can vary significantly based on actual events, the Company is not able to forecast on an IFRS basis with reasonable certainty all deductions needed in order to provide an IFRS calculation of projected net income (loss). The amount of these deductions may be material and, therefore, could result in projected IFRS net income (loss) being materially less than projected Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS). These statements represent forward-looking information and may represent a financial outlook, and actual results may vary. See the risk and assumptions described under the headings “Forward-looking information” and “Financial Outlook and Growth Targets Assumptions” of this press release.
(5) The Company defines “Medium-term” as between three and five years and “long-term” as five to seven years.
(6) Capital expenditures means acquisition of property and equipment and acquisition of intangible assets.
(7) Pro forma revenue growth by channel is calculated as (i) Nuvei's reported revenue for the relevant channel for the three months ended June 30, 2023 divided by (ii) Nuvei pro forma revenue for the relevant channel for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Nuvei pro forma revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 consists of (x) Nuvei's reported revenue for the relevant channel for the three months ended June 30, 2022, plus (y) Paya's reported revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022, net of interchange fees in order to align with Nuvei's presentation of revenue calculated in accordance with the accounting policies used to prepare the revenue line item presented in the Company’s financial statements under IFRS. See "Supplemental Financial Measures" for more detail.

Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures
Nuvei’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The information presented in this press release includes non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS financial ratios and supplementary financial measures, namely Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Revenue at constant currency, Revenue growth at constant currency, Organic Revenue at constant currency, Organic revenue growth at constant currency, Organic revenue excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency, Organic revenue growth excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency, Organic core global commerce revenue excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency, Organic core global commerce revenue growth excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per basic share, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures, Total volume, Total volume at constant currency, Total organic volume at constant currency, eCommerce volume Nuvei pro forma revenue and Nuvei pro forma revenue growth. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from our perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial statements reported under IFRS. These measures are used to provide investors with additional insight of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in Nuvei’s business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use these non-IFRS and other financial measures in the evaluation of issuers. We also use these measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation. We believe these measures are important additional measures of our performance, primarily because they and similar measures are used widely among others in the payment technology industry as a means of evaluating a company’s underlying operating performance.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Revenue at constant currency: Revenue at constant currency means revenue adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. This measure helps provide insight on comparable revenue growth by removing the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year. Foreign currency exchange impact in the current period is calculated using prior period quarterly average exchange rates applied to the current period foreign currency amounts.
Organic revenue at constant currency: Organic revenue at constant currency means revenue, as determined under IFRS, adjusted to exclude the revenue attributable to acquired businesses for a period of 12 months following their acquisition and excluding revenue attributable to divested businesses, adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Foreign currency exchange impact in the current period is calculated using prior period quarterly average exchange rates applied to the current period foreign currency amounts. This measure helps provide insight on organic and acquisition-related growth and presents useful information about comparable revenue growth.



Organic revenue excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency: Organic revenue excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency means revenue excluding the revenue attributable to acquired businesses for a period of 12 months following their acquisition and excluding revenue attributable to divested businesses and digital assets and cryptocurrencies, and adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. This measure helps provide insight on comparable revenue growth by removing the effect of volatility in digital assets and cryptocurrencies and changes in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year. Foreign currency exchange impact in the current period is calculated using prior period quarterly average exchange rates applied to the current period foreign currency amounts. The revenue attributable to digital assets and cryptocurrencies is calculated in accordance with the accounting policies used to prepare the revenue line item presented in the Company’s financial statements under IFRS.
Organic core global commerce revenue excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency: Organic core global commerce revenue excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency means revenue of our Core global commerce channel excluding the revenue attributable to acquired businesses for a period of 12 months following their acquisition and excluding revenue attributable to divested businesses and digital assets and cryptocurrencies, and adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. This measure helps provide insight on comparable revenue growth in our Core global commerce channel by removing the effect of volatility in digital assets and cryptocurrencies and changes in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year. Foreign currency exchange impact in the current period is calculated using prior period quarterly average exchange rates applied to the current period foreign currency amounts. The revenue attributable to digital assets and cryptocurrencies and to our Core global commerce channel is calculated in accordance with the accounting policies used to prepare the revenue line item presented in the Company’s financial statements under IFRS.
Adjusted EBITDA: We use Adjusted EBITDA as a means to evaluate operating performance, by eliminating the impact of non-operational or non-cash items. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before finance costs (recovery), finance income, depreciation and amortization, income tax expense, acquisition, integration and severance costs, share-based payments and related payroll taxes, loss (gain) on foreign currency exchange, and legal settlement and other.
Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures: We use Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures (which we define as acquisition of intangible assets and property and equipment) as a supplementary indicator of our operating performance.
Adjusted net income: We use Adjusted net income as an indicator of business performance and profitability with our current tax and capital structure. Adjusted net income is defined as net income (loss) before acquisition, integration and severance costs, share-based payments and related payroll taxes, loss (gain) on foreign currency exchange, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and the related income tax expense or recovery for these items. Adjusted net income also excludes change in redemption value of liability-classified common and preferred shares, change in fair value of share repurchase liability and accelerated amortization of deferred transaction costs and legal settlement and other.




Non-IFRS Financial Ratios
Revenue growth at constant currency: Revenue growth at constant currency means the year-over-year change in Revenue at constant currency divided by reported revenue in the prior period. We use Revenue growth at constant currency to provide better comparability of revenue trends year-over-year, without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Organic revenue growth at constant currency: Organic revenue growth at constant currency means the year-over-year change in Organic revenue at constant currency divided by comparable Organic revenue in the prior period. We use Organic revenue growth at constant currency to provide better comparability of revenue trends year-over-year, without the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and fluctuations in foreign currency exchanges rates.
Organic revenue growth excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency: Organic revenue growth excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency means the year-over-year change in Organic revenue excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency divided by comparable Organic revenue excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies in the prior period. We use Organic revenue growth excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency to provide better comparability of revenue trends year-over-year, without the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, volatility in digital assets and cryptocurrencies and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Organic core global commerce revenue growth excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency: Organic core global commerce revenue growth excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency means the year-over-year change in Organic core global commerce revenue excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency divided by comparable Organic core global commerce revenue excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies in the prior period. We use Organic core global commerce revenue growth excluding digital assets and cryptocurrencies at constant currency to provide better comparability of revenue trends year-over-year in our Core global commerce channel, without the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, volatility in digital assets and cryptocurrencies and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Adjusted EBITDA margin: Adjusted EBITDA margin means Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
Adjusted net income per basic share and per diluted share: We use Adjusted net income per basic share and per diluted share as an indicator of performance and profitability of our business on a per share basis. Adjusted net income per basic share and per diluted share means Adjusted net income less net income attributable to non-controlling interest divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The number of share-based awards used in the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the Adjusted net income per diluted share calculation is determined using the treasury stock method as permitted under IFRS.
Supplementary Financial Measures
We monitor the following key performance indicators to help us evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. Our key performance indicators may be calculated in a manner that differs from similar key performance indicators used by other companies.



Total volume and eCommerce volume: We believe Total volume and eCommerce volume are indicators of performance of our business. Total volume and similar measures are used widely among others in the payments industry as a means of evaluating a company’s performance. We define Total volume as the total dollar value of transactions processed in the period by customers under contractual agreement with us. eCommerce volume is the portion of Total volume for which the transaction did not occur at a physical location. Total volume and eCommerce volume do not represent revenue earned by us. Total volume includes acquiring volume, where we are in the flow of funds in the settlement transaction cycle, gateway/technology volume, where we provide our gateway/technology services but are not in the flow of funds in the settlement transaction cycle, as well as the total dollar value of transactions processed relating to APMs and payouts. Since our revenue is primarily sales volume and transaction-based, generated from merchants’ daily sales and through various fees for value-added services provided to our customers, fluctuations in Total volume will generally impact our revenue.
Total volume at constant currency: Total volume at constant currency is used as an indicator of performance of our business on a more comparable foreign currency exchange basis. Total volume at constant currency means Total volume adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. This measure helps provide better comparability of business trends year-over-year, without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency exchange impact in the current period is calculated using prior period quarterly average exchange rates applied to the current period foreign currency amounts.
Total organic volume at constant currency: Total organic volume at constant currency is used as an indicator of performance of our business on a more comparable basis. This measure helps provide insight on organic and acquisition-related growth and presents useful information about comparable Total volume growth. Total organic volume at constant currency means Total volume excluding Total volume attributable to acquired businesses for a period of 12 months following their acquisition and excluding Total volume attributable to divested businesses, adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Foreign currency exchange impact in the current period is calculated using prior period quarterly average exchange rates applied to the current period foreign currency amounts.
Nuvei pro forma revenue: Nuvei pro forma revenue represents Nuvei’s reported revenue after giving effect to the acquisition of Paya as though such acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the period presented. Nuvei pro forma revenue is presented both on an aggregated basis and by channel. In order to align with the Company's presentation of revenue calculated in accordance with the accounting policies used to prepare the revenue line item presented in the Company’s financial statement under IFRS, Paya's revenue contribution amounts are presented net of interchange fees, which was not the case for a small portion of fees prior to the acquisition of Paya by the Company. This presentation is consistent with the pro forma disclosure required under IFRS in Nuvei’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023. This measure helps provide insight on the combined revenue of the Nuvei and Paya businesses.
Nuvei pro forma revenue growth: Nuvei pro forma revenue growth represents Nuvei reported revenue divided by Nuvei pro forma revenue in the comparative year. This ratio is presented both on an aggregated basis and by channel. This ratio helps provide a better understanding of the additional contribution of the Paya business on Nuvei’s year-over-year revenue growth. Nuvei pro forma revenue is used as a component of this ratio only until the completion of a full financial year following the acquisition of Paya.

Financial Outlook and Growth Targets Assumptions
The financial outlook for the three months ending September 30, 2023, and the year ending December 31, 2023, and specifically the Adjusted EBITDA, as well as the Adjusted EBITDA margin long-term growth target, reflect the Company’s strategy to accelerate its investment in distribution, marketing, innovation, and technology. When measured as a percentage of revenue, these expenses are expected to decrease as our investments in distribution, marketing, innovation, and technology normalize over time.
Our financial outlook and growth targets are based on a number of additional assumptions, including the following:
our results of operations and ability to achieve suitable margins will continue in line with management’s expectations;
we will continue to effectively execute against our key strategic growth priorities, without any material adverse impact from macroeconomic trends on our or our customers’ business, financial condition, financial performance, liquidity nor any significant reduction in demand for our products and services;
losses owing to business failures of merchants and customers will remain in line with anticipated levels;
existing customers growing their business and expanding into new markets within selected high-growth eCommerce end-markets, including online retail, online marketplaces, digital goods and services, regulated online gaming, social gaming, financial services and travel;
economic conditions in our core markets, geographies and verticals, including resulting consumer spending and employment, remaining at close to current levels;
assumptions as to the value of digital assets, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, including inflation;
higher volatility and lower volume in digital assets; Nuvei expects the contribution of digital assets will continue to decline and to represent no more than 5% of revenue going forward;
Nuvei’s ability to retain and attract new business, achieve synergies and strengthen its market position arising from successful integration plans relating to the Paya acquisition;
management’s estimates and expectations in relation to future economic and business conditions and other factors in relation to the Paya acquisition and resulting impact on growth in various financial metrics;



assumptions regarding competition, political environment and economic performance of each region where Nuvei operates;
the realization of the expected strategic, financial and other benefits of the Paya acquisition in the timeframe anticipated;
the absence of significant undisclosed costs or liabilities associated with the Paya acquisition;
our ability to cross-sell and up-sell new and existing products and services to our existing customers with limited incremental sales and marketing expenses;
our customers increasing their daily sales, and in turn their business volume of our solutions, at growth rates at or above historical levels for the past few years;
our ability to maintain existing customer relationships and to continue to expand our customers’ use of more solutions from our Native Commerce Platform at or above historical levels for the past few years;
our ability to leverage our sales and marketing experience in capturing and serving customers in North America and large enterprises in Europe and enable customer base expansion by targeting large enterprises in North America, with a focus in Core global commerce channel;
our sales and marketing efforts and continued investment in our direct sales team and account management driving future growth by adding new customers adopting our technology processing transactions in existing and new geographies at or above historical levels and in the timeframe anticipated;
our ability to further leverage our broad and diversified network of partners;
our ability to expand and deepen our footprint and to add new customers adopting our technology processing transactions in geographies where we have an emerging presence, such as Asia Pacific and Latin America;
our ability to expand and keep our portfolio of services technologically current through continued investment in our Native Commerce Platform and to design and deliver solutions that meet the specific and evolving needs of our customers;
our ability to maintain and/or expand our relationships with acquiring banks and payment networks;
our continued ability to maintain our competitiveness relative to competitors’ products or services, including as to changes in terms, conditions and pricing,
our ability to expand profit margins by reducing variable costs as a percentage of total expenses, and leveraging fixed costs with additional scale and as our investments in, for example, direct sales and marketing normalize;
increases in volume driving profitable revenue growth with limited additional overhead costs required, as a result of the highly scalable nature of our business model and the inherent operating leverage;
our continued ability to manage our growth effectively;
we will continue to attract and retain key talent and personnel required to achieve our plans and strategies, including sales, marketing, support and product and technology operations, in each case both domestically and internationally,
our ability to successfully identify, complete, integrate and realize the expected benefits of past and future acquisitions and manage the associated risks;
the absence of adverse changes in legislative or regulatory matters;



our continued ability to upskill and modify our compliance capabilities as regulations change or as we enter new markets, such as our customer underwriting, risk management, know your customer and anti-money laundering capabilities, with minimal disruption to our customers’ businesses;
our liquidity and capital resources, including our ability to secure debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms; and,
the absence of adverse changes in current tax laws.
Moreover, and more specifically, our ability to achieve new revenue synergy opportunities from the Paya acquisition over the long term is based on a number of additional assumptions, including the following:
the Paya standalone business achieving its projected annual revenue growth;
our ability to leverage Nuvei’s regulatory licenses/exemptions and relationships to capture market share and win new business in Paya’s existing U.S. market;
our ability to leverage Nuvei’s global distribution and capabilities to offer an integrated Nuvei and Paya product offering outside of the U.S.; and
our ability to continue to invest in expanding our Nuvei and Paya integrated product offering to win new business.

Given the integration of Paya into Nuvei, the Company has organized its business through three channels. Our Core global commerce channel represents revenue from merchant relationships developed by the Company's sales representatives. Our Emerging B2B, government & integrated payments channel represents integrations with software partners, back-end Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") accounting solutions, and Customer Information System (“CIS”) that focus on B2B and Government customers, as well as integrations with software partners who are vertical focused front-end business practice and financial management software providers. Our Legacy small and medium sized businesses channel represents customers who utilize Nuvei’s core technology infrastructure but generally do not originate through a software integration, and are more likely to be known as Small and Medium sized Businesses.
