1 2 Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators Safe Harbor Statement and Forward Looking Information We use supplemental measures of our performance which are derived from our consolidated financial information but which are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include: gross revenue less network fees, which includes interchange and assessment fees; Adjusted net income (loss); earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”); and Adjusted EBITDA. Gross revenue less network fees represents a key performance metric that management uses to measure changes in the mix and value derived from our customer base as we continue to execute our strategy to expand our reach to serve larger, complex merchants. Adjusted net income (loss) represents net income (loss) adjusted for certain non-cash and other nonrecurring items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations, such as acquisition, restructuring and integration costs, equity-based compensation expense, impact of lease modifications and other nonrecurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary financial performance measure used by management to evaluate its business and monitor results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted for certain non-cash and other nonrecurring items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations. These adjustments include acquisition, restructuring and integration costs, equity-based compensation expense, impact of lease modifications and other nonrecurring items. We use non-GAAP financial This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this presentation that do not relate to matters of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements, including statements regarding Shift4 Payments, Inc.’s (“our”, the “Company” or Shift4”) expectations regarding new customers; acquisitions and other transactions; our plans and agreements regarding future payment processing commitments, including at Tao Group, Arlo Hotels, 1440 Multiversity, Galaxy Home Recreation, BetMGM, Resorts World, Allegiant Stadium and United Center; our expectations with respect to economic recovery; and anticipated financial performance, including our financial outlook for fiscal year 2021. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward- looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following: the effect of the COVID-19 global pandemic and any variants of the virus on our business and results of operations; our ability to differentiate ourselves from our competitors and compete effectively; our ability to anticipate and respond to changing industry trends and merchant and consumer needs; our ability to continue making measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results allows management to better understand our consolidated financial performance from period to period and better project our future consolidated financial performance as forecasts are developed at a level of detail different from that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide our stakeholders with useful information to help them evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our operating performance and enabling them to make more meaningful period to period comparisons. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this presentation. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance in isolation from or as a substitute for net income (loss) prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis.

We encourage you to review the reconciliations in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. In future fiscal periods, we may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items. In addition, we present end-to-end payment volume, a key performance indicator, which is defined as the total dollar amount of card payments that we authorize and settle on behalf of our merchants. This volume does not include volume processed through our gateway-only merchants. proceedings; our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations; our ability to protect, enforce and defend our intellectual property rights; our ability to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures; our compliance with laws, regulations and enforcement activities that affect our industry; our dependence on distributions from Shift4 Payments, LLC to pay our taxes and expenses, including payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement; and the significant influence Rook and Searchlight have over us, including control over decisions that require the approval of stockholders. These and other important factors are described in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this presentation.

Dear Shareholders, This quarter marked several milestones for Shift4. In addition to being the one-year anniversary of our IPO, we also set new records across all measures for Q2:   End-To-End payment volume was $11.8 billion, which is a roughly 50% increase from just a quarter ago and roughly 180% year-over-year. Q2 Gross Revenues and Gross Revenues Less Network Fees were $351 million and $136 million, respectively. It was our first quarter of positive GAAP Net Income, which was $4.5 million. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA were $31 million and $45 million, respectively.   The growth experienced during the quarter was a combination of continued new merchant wins and volume growth within our existing customers. We also saw a much more typical seasonal pattern for our business as consumer spending in our core verticals increased and travel became more prevalent, which is a welcome change from a year ago.   While we are obviously thrilled with the business performance, our culture is not to celebrate the wins. Rather, we have spent much of the last quarter focusing on organizational efficiencies that can help perpetuate this growth and allow us to replicate our success across more verticals. It is with that spirit that we constantly challenge ourselves to look at what we could be doing better, especially during the good times.   In addition to more details on our financial performance, you will see several instances of new customer wins in the following pages. I would like to highlight how many of these come from end-markets, such as eCommerce, sports and entertainment and gaming that are entirely new to Shift4. This ability to look across industries for pain-points and then aggressively attack them is in many ways our core competency… and we are excited about our early but strong positioning within these new markets.   Since my last letter, many of you have contacted me with product feedback, commercial opportunities and other ideas. This is always appreciated and valued so please don’t hesitate to reach out. Jared Isaacman CEO jared@shift4.com 3

Financial Summary 9 Revision to Previously Issued Financial Statements This financial information includes revisions to our previously issued financial statements. We identified an acquired technology asset of $4.8 million that should have been impaired during fiscal year 2018. The correction resulted in an increase to amortization expense in 2018 with subsequent decreases to amortization expense in 2019 and 2020. We also corrected a misclassification between general and administrative expenses and cost of sales of $0.9 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, which decreased general and administrative costs and increased cost of sales and impacted gross profit. These revisions had no net impact on Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA or net cash flows. See “Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements” in Note 1 in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, which will be filed with the SEC.
