Q4 2021 SHAREHOLDER LETTER INVESTORS.SHIFT4.COM Exhibit 99.1


 
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 gross revenue; adjusted gross profit, 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. For the year ended December 31, 2021, gross revenue less network fees excludes the impact of the payments to merchants, included in "Gross revenue," and payments to partners and associated expenses due to the TSYS outage, included in "Network fees" and "Other costs of sales" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year December 31, 2021. These are nonrecurring payments that occurred outside of our day-to-day operations, and we have excluded them in order to provide more useful information to investors in the evaluation of our performance period-over period. Adjusted gross revenue represents gross revenue adjusted for the impact of the TSYS outage. Adjusted gross profit represents gross profit adjusted for the impact of the TSYS outage. Adjusted net income (loss) represents net income (loss) adjusted for certain non- cash and for certain non-cash and other nonrecurring items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations, such as the TSYS outage 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 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, including Finaro and The Giving Block and our ability to consummate the acquisitions on the timelines we expect or at all; our plans and agreements regarding future payment processing commitments, our expectations with respect to economic recovery; and anticipated financial performance, including our financial outlook for fiscal year 2022 and future periods. 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 acquisitions of businesses or assets; our ability to continue to expand our market share or expand into new markets; our reliance on third-party vendors to provide products and services; our ability to integrate our services and products with operating systems, devices, software and web browsers; our ability to maintain merchant and software partner relationships and strategic partnerships; the effects of of global economic, political and other conditions on consumer, business and government spending; our compliance with governmental regulation and other legal obligations, particularly related to privacy, data protection and information security, and consumer protection laws; our ability to establish, maintain and enforce effective risk management policies and procedures; our ability to protect our systems and data from continually evolving cybersecurity risks, security breaches and other technological risks; potential harm caused by software defects, computer viruses and development delays; the effect of degradation of the quality of the products and services we offer; potential harm caused by increased customer attrition; potential harm caused by fraud by merchants or others; potential harm caused by damage to our reputation or brands; our ability to recruit, retain and develop qualified personnel; our reliance on a single or limited number of suppliers; the effects of seasonality and volatility on our operating results; the effect of various legal proceedings; the effects of seasonality and volatility on our operating results; the effect of various legal 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, 2021, could cause are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this presentation. Our non- GAAP financial measures. 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. Reconciliations each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, gross revenue less network fees, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share, free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented at the end of this presentation. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA for 2023 to net loss, the nearest comparable GAAP measure, without unreasonable efforts. We encourage you to review the reconciliations in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. In future fiscal periods, we may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items. In addition, we present end-to-end payment volume and spread, which are key performance indicators. End-to-end payment volume 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. Spread represents the average yield Shift4 earns on the average end-to-end payments volume processed for a given period after network fees. Spread is calculated by taking payments-based revenue less gateway revenue and network fees for a given period divided by the end-to-end payments volume processed for the similar period. Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by gross revenue less network fees. actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this presentation. Any such forward-looking statements represent management’s estimates as of the date of this presentation. While we may elect to update such forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we disclaim any obligation to do so, even if subsequent events cause our views to change. 2 believes are not indicative of ongoing operations. These adjustments include TSYS outage payments and associated costs, acquisition, restructuring and integration costs, equity-based compensation expense, impact of lease modifications and other nonrecurring items. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by gross revenue less network fees. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for non-discretionary capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow represents free cash flow further adjusted for certain transactions that are not indicative of future operating cash flows, including changes in working capital exclusively related to the timing of settlement balances, supply chain purchases accelerated to avoid procurement issues, payments and costs associated with the TSYS outage, acquisition, restructuring and integration costs, the impact of timing of annual performance bonuses and payroll taxes on IPO-related equity-based compensation that are not indicative of ongoing activities. We believe adjusted free cash flow is useful to measure the funds generated in a given period that are available to invest in the business, to repurchase stock and to make strategic decisions. We believe this supplemental information enhances shareholders’ ability to evaluate the Company’s performance. The Adjusted EBITDA conversion rate is calculated by taking Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA. We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results allows management to better understand our consolidated financial performance 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.

Dear Shareholders, The last quarter of 2021 through early 2022 has been especially interesting, busy and likely confusing for investors at a time when the sector has been under immense pressure. On a very positive note, we achieved our guidance for volumes, revenue and gross revenue less network fees for the full-year, following several consecutive quarters of raised guidance. We continue to deliver industry leading organic year-over-year volume growth and hit weekly records for volumes as recently as last week. We are entering 2022 with momentum in our high-growth core, have invested in new markets and verticals, and today we are announcing two transformational acquisitions that will serve to expand our reach across the globe. Like others, our end markets were unexpectedly impacted by the COVID omicron variant, which paralyzed many of our restaurant and hospitality customers including delaying the return of international and business travel. This occurred at a time when we were also increasing investments to support growth in both our high-growth core and new markets. Despite the COVID realities of the quarter, we posted relatively strong growth, with end-to-end payment volume of $13.4 billion representing a 97% increase over last year, which is among the strongest growth within our peer group. If not for the omicron variant, we believe the record levels of weekly volumes we achieved in early December would have persisted through the remaining weeks of the year and continued into January. We view these challenges as temporary because, as I mentioned above, our volumes began to rebound strongly in early February and are back to record levels. It’s worth reinforcing that our confidence is based on the value we provide to merchants. When trying to determine who is winning in the market, merchants are not switching payment providers for an equal or inferior solution: they are choosing Shift4 because of the superior technology we are providing, the pain points we are solving, and the overall value we are delivering. That’s why our volumes are growing so quickly while also achieving reasonable spreads and growing our SaaS related revenue streams. While we were clear during our Investor Day that any COVID resurgence would negate our guidance, our results were still within the ranges we provided for volume and gross revenue, while exceeding the top-end of our range for gross revenue less network fees. However, due to increased investments in new verticals and some one-time expenses, we did come up slightly short in adjusted EBITDA for the quarter. We remain highly confident in our ability to deliver over 300 bps of margin expansion in 2022, all of which is reflected in our 2022 guidance. We are pleased to provide 2022 guidance that is consistent with the medium term outlook we provided back in November and also expect the two acquisitions announced today to contribute meaningfully to our 2023 adjusted EBITDA, before any potential revenue synergies. During Investor Day just a few months ago, we highlighted how far the company had come in just under 18 months since our IPO. We have materially surpassed all the expectations we set during the analyst day held pre-pandemic as we expanded into numerous new verticals all anchored by signature merchant wins like SpaceX Starlink, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, BetMGM, and countless stadiums, not to mention the ongoing success we have with restaurants, hotels and specialty retailers in our core. We provided updates on our important product initiatives like SkyTab POS and what that should represent as we get closer to the full release in the second quarter. Building off that Investor Day momentum, we are pleased to announce two major acquisitions that will serve to both accelerate our growth and continue to transform the company. Notably, we are adding eCommerce capabilities to enable our software integrations, products and partners, including SpaceX/Starlink, to expand across the world. We will now operate a leading edge eCommerce acquiring platform in Europe and Asia, two of the largest eCommerce markets globally. 3


 
Scaling our presence in eCommerce and extending our reach globally is a transformational event for our company. When you consider the fact that we’ve grown end to end payment volumes at a 37% CAGR for the past four years while operating in industry verticals that grow mid-single digits, you can easily imagine our excitement in entering the high growth areas of cross border eCommerce. We also gained a significant advantage in the non-profit space with the addition of key cryptocurrency acceptance and settlement capabilities that we can now apply across the organization. You may recall that non-profits is one of the new markets we had highlighted at our recent Investor Day event and with this new crypto capability, we intend to bundle crypto-donation with our end-to-end solution to offer non-profits a differentiated solution currently unavailable in the marketplace today. This investor letter provides a brief summary of both the Finaro and The Giving Block acquisitions, and I encourage you to learn even more by referencing the two acquisition presentations available on our website, https://investors.shift4.com/. The Giving Block • Fast growing, profitable two-sided network to facilitate crypto donations to non-profits, representing a meaningful adjusted EBITDA contribution in 2023. • A strong cross sell opportunity with a $45+ billion of embedded conversion opportunity among existing non-profit customers, alongside a real right-to-win across a $450 billion global non-profit market. • Immense talent that we expect will ignite a Shift4 crypto innovation center that will bring acceptance and settlement capabilities across the entire organization. Finaro • Fast growing, modern cross border eCommerce payments platform driving transactions across Europe, UK, Japan & Hong Kong, that we anticipate will represent a material end-to-end payments volume and adjusted EBITDA contribution in 2023. • Immediately satisfies the demand of Starlink and enables Shift4 to pursue payment opportunities across the world in support of restaurant, hospitality, specialty retail, eCommerce, stadiums, gaming and non-profits. • Immense talent and technology as well as a platform for additional M&A, that we believe takes Shift4 a step closer to delivering on our vision of illuminating the world through connected commerce. Despite some of the noise in the quarter, Shift4 has been growing revenue consistently now for 22 consecutive years while expanding into multiple new verticals adjacent and complementary to our historic core. We have demonstrated our ability to take share during the most challenging of times, and invest responsibly in organic and inorganic initiatives that ultimately support our broader strategy. We have a proven track record of deploying capital when the rationale and valuations make sense, and subsequently adding value from the assets we acquire. As a result, we are really pleased with how we have positioned the company for the years ahead and believe that is reflected in our guidance and outlook. As always, I look forward to your feedback.
